92. [Audio/Video]

<sub>[CLOUDS ABOVE. WATER BELOW. That's what Heather is seeing when she briefly flicks on the audio feed.]

[After spending a whole lot of time trying to ensure through various means that she wouldn't meet an uncertain death trying to fly, enough time had passed and Heather couldn't hold back that classic Mason mother-hen desire to have all the eggs in one place at the same time anymore.]

[In hindsight, though, informing the two she'd gotten on the bird to actually GO SEE that she'd left... AFTER she left, was a bit of a bad decision. Turns out the roaring wind is pretty damn loud when you're that high. She has to raise her voice to be heard.]</sub>

Angela. Lisa!

Sorry for the wait. M'finally on my way.

_{[A pause, punctuated by the whistling wind.]}

... Aaaand it'd be good if you could both tell me where you are, too. Prooobably should've asked that before I left.

_{[But THAT ASIDE... the video feed flicks on then, showing off a vast expanse of blue water below and fluffy clouds above, with Sunny's downy ear-tufts fluttering down towards the bottom of the screen.]}

I take back any misgivings I might've had about flying before.

This... is pretty awesome.

_{[She flashes a grin.]}

That's where you guys are, right?

_{[SPOILERS she was planning on paying them a visit on her way to pick up Lisa and Angela, but needless to say her plans would be a little dashed by the impeding natural disasters...]}

No, I just want you to go there at random. What do you think?

[foolishwren]

_{[A laugh that's mostly whipped away by the wind.]}

Don't tell the ol' man, but I was planning on dropping in on my way past!

[getthehorns]

I'll keep it a secret. No worries.

We should do lunch or something- you have got to see him put away a burger in person. It's impressive.

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

I am SO up for that.

<sub>[The times she's actually met Ironhide in person are surprisingly few-- once for the Tournament. Twice if you counted the nightmare comas.]

[And Cliff, she's never met in person at all.]</sub>

Y'know, I couldn't BELIEVE you guys were living off of gross energy bars and nothing else.

Burgers must've seemed like some kind of MIRACLE after that.

Human food certainly has Cybertronian food beat when it comes to variety. That's for sure.

[ A grin ] Lookin' forward to seeing you, kiddo.

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

What can I say, we humans love our food.

_{[She grins right back. Picking Lisa and Angela up was only the surface reason she'd wanted Fly so badly. The other was to actually be able to see everyone more frequently-- in the hopes that she'd get to spend more time with them before any more surprise disappearances.]}

Likewise, Cliff.

But remember-- keep it hush-hush.

[getthehorns]

Right- my... uh. What's the expression? Something to do with my lips.

[foolishwren]

_{[She makes the classic 'zipping' motion in front of her mouth.]}

Keep 'em zipped!

[ video ]

[getthehorns]

Yeah, that. I'll do that.

_{[DOUBLE THUMBS-UP.]}

Then we're good!
