A Sound Break

***POW Soundwave***

Man, this is awesome. I mean how many people can say that they have met the Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody. I just hope nothing bad happens. Dang it I just jinxed myself didn't I. Man I'm a freaking robot and still find ways to fuck up. Oh well.

"Hello, earth to Soundwave you still with us." That snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Uhm oh sorry I kinda spaced out there. Could you repeat the question?"

"Octavia here asked you where you are going to school?"

"Oh that. I'm going to go to Canterlot high as a transfer student. This semester in fact." Looking back at it, that was a pretty dumb way to connect myself with the Equestria girls mythos, but I guess I'm just going to have to roll with it.

"Really this semester which school did you come from then?" Ah, come on think which school exists here. After some thinking it hit me.

"I'm from Crystal prep. I decided to transfer because there is allot more freedom here than there." After some glares from Vinyl and mouthing that we are going to be talking about this Octavia said.

"Oh I do agree their dress code can sometimes be a real hassle, that is why I transferred as well. But I never saw you there." That made me panic for a moment, but then I figured out an excuse.

"Well back then I probably had braces on my teeth. I also had a more grown out and calmer hairstyle, so you can see why I look so different." I was pretty proud of that excuse it was virtually fool proved.

"Ah that explains it, but we are going to have to continue this conversation after we order because we have arrived." And she was right we were in front of Sugar cube corner and it was extremely disappointing. It didn't look like the gingerbread house like in the show, it looked like any old two story house.

I said. "Well, lets go inside." And then we went inside. When we opened the door we heard a little bell chime on top of the door. When we entered I was hit with the smell of baked goods and they smelled delicious. Of course, I wasn't the only one, because there was a huge ass line.

"Well, you guys go find a both and I'm going to go order us something." Said Vinyl. I and Octavia both nodded and went to find a both. After a short while, we found one in the corner of the bakery. So we sat down and waited. Two minutes passed in silence, but then I hard Octavia ask.

"Soundwave I notice that you have a lot of different instruments with you, are you a musician and if so what kind of music do you enjoy?" She said while pointing at my backpack.

"Ah, my instruments... Yes, I am a musician as for what kind of music I enjoy and make. I would say that that would have to be techno."

"Interesting choice. I personally enjoy classical music, but that is mostly because I play the cello."

"Ah, so you are a classical player. Do you play in an orchestra?"

"Yes, I play in the Canterlot orchestra." Then I decided to ask something weird.

"What's the name of your cello?" After that, she looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

"What did you name your instrument? Why don't I give you an example." With that, I reached for my guitar minicon. "Here is my guitar his name is Laser beak... Do you get it now?" After that, I think she got it.

"Oh no, My Cello doesn't have a name. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I think of my instruments as my friends, since they all helped me through a lot of tough times, so after some time I just gave them names." Then Octavia seemed like she was thinking of something.

"Hm I guess your right. I'll think of a name for my cello, but in the meantime how about we change topics, what do you think of the alien robots that are now living in this city?" She asked.

"Well I don't really mind them, but it is interesting to know that there is more sentient life out there in space."

"Yeah, I guess your right." Then we heard an explosion and a robotic voice yell out.

"You will never get Grimlock alive Autobots."

Then three giant metal dinosaurs sped past the corner with five robots chasing them. "Well, that definitely looks dangerous." I thought. "This could be my chance to help them out."

"Hey, Octavia I need to go to the bathroom be back in a few minutes."

"Okay just make sure to come back quickly." With that, I went to the toilet of course not forgetting my minicons.

"Okay, lets jump out a window and go help the Autobots." And I did so. Thankfully the window led to an alleyway where I transformed into my robot mode. Before I stepped out I made sure to change my symbol from a Decepticon one to an Autobot one since I wanted them to trust me. With that done I changed to my car mode and drove off after them.

It didn't take me long to catch up with them, but they didn't look good. The Autobots were in a pile and were about to get turned into slag. So I didn't waste any time and rammed myself directly into the Dinobots.

"Hello there Dinobots it's nice to meet you. The name is Soundwave and you just got smashed." After that I retreated in front of the Autobots and transformed into my robot mode.

"Destroy sound bot for scratching Grimlock." He yelled out and charged at me.

"I don't think so." With that I pulled out Rat bat and played a strong tone that knocked him and the other Dinobots back. They tried again, but this time I played a stronger tone which knocked them back and momentarily disoriented them. Then I turned around and asked "Are you guys okay?" They first looked stunned but then Optimus threw his axe right past my head and into the flying ones face.

"Okay questions later, first we have to take care of these Dinobots in the meantime Soundwave, make sure to watch our backs." Said Optimus. I nodded and concentrated back on the fight.

The Dinobots got back up and then Grimlock said. "Me Grimlock destroy loud one you two take others." The other two both screeched and went to attack the others and that left me and Grimlock alone.

"So Grimlock why don't you transform and fight me like a real bot huh." After that he transformed and pulled out his flame sword.

"Now Grimlock destroys the loud one." With that, he launched himself at me. I had barely enough time to grip Rat bat like an axe before he struck thank god I did or I would have gone flying. Then I grabbed Laser beak and struck him over the head. "Ow, where did loud one get another axe?"

"Oh that is not the only thing I have. Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage eject!" Then they all detached from my back and launched themselves into the air where they transformed. Then Grimlock noticed Ravage and screamed.

"Ah get the evil cat away from me." That gave me an idea.

"Okay I am going to get him away if you promise to obey the Autobots. Do we have a deal?" I put Laser beak and Rat bat back on my back and extended my right arm. Grimlock first looked at my hand then at Ravage and then back at my hand. Then he yelled out.

"Dinobots to me!" Then he took my hand and said. "Loud one Grimlock promises to obey you and only you, so will the other two."

"Okay then Grimlock your first order is to stay with them. I pointed at Optimus and his gang. "Until I say otherwise you understand." He nodded and I recalled Ravage, Frenzy and Rumble. Then I heard Optimus say.

"Hey, where do you think you're going."

"Look we can talk tomorrow now I have some important business that I need to finish. So can you tell me where your base of operation is?" Then Prowl stepped forward and opened a holographic map of Canterlot. Then he said.

"We are located here in the old abandoned building." He pointed to an old looking building. I committed it to memory and said.

"Okay then see you tomorrow." with that I transformed and drove back to Sugar cube corner. When I arrived I quickly changed to my human form and jumped through the window and went back to our booth. Vinyl was already there and she looked displeased. "What?" She only pointed at the TV. There I was battling the Dinobots. Then it clicked. I looked back at Octavia to find her to be completely wide-eyed. "Now Octavia don't worry I'm not going to hurt you nor am I going to hurt Vinyl. Yes, I am an alien robot and yes I am the only one of my kind that can change into a human form." With my explanation complete she looked a little better.

"Okay then Soundwave, I guess if you wanted to hurt us you would have done it a long time ago. So why don't you sit down and enjoy these delectable milkshakes." Oh yeah, I didn't even notice them.

"What flavour?" I asked. Then Vinyl answered.

"Choco-mint. I wanted to play it safe so I got you something that is very popular. I hope I chose correctly."

I just smiled. "This is my favourite flavour." Then I took a sip and found out that it was absolutely delicious. Then I remembered what I said to Optimus. "Oh yeah Vinyl before I forget, tomorrow we are going to the Autobots headquarters to talk to them." That almost made her take a spit take... almost.

"Are you serious? We are going to meet those robots?" I nodded. "Sweet. Hey, Octavia you coming too?" She looked pensive for a bit, but then she nodded.

"Okay then meet us at Vinyls records tomorrow at two then." After that, we returned to our drinks and talked about menial things for the rest of our lunch break.
