[Bumblebee's game face is on.]

Prove it.

[redshitlord]

Show me a game, tiny!

[heelys]

[He twitches at the nickname.]

My name is Bumblebee, glitchhead.

[But he shuffles through the tight fitting arcade with a lot more ease than Sideswipe would, looking around for a game they could play. He ends up deciding on another fighting game, but the two player controls aren't exactly built for people their size. It's gonna be a squeeze.]

First one to get three kills wins.

[redshitlord]

...

No.

No way, you're not Bee. Bee is... he's a huge nerd! But see, the thing is? He's huge.

[Okay, not HUGE like Grimlock, but still! His shoulders were massive on that frame of his, anyway. And also he could look them all in the face. Unlike... this yellow noodle at his feet.]

[He may be a bit hung up on this and forgetting to move to a machine.]

[heelys]

[Bumblebee frowns at Sideswipe, deflating a little. He'd hoping to get past this through the power of video games.]

Okay. I get it. I'm not the Bumblebee anyone wanted. You don't need to keep telling me! I know!

[redshitlord]

Dude. Chill! I didn't say anything about wanted!

[HUFF HUFF Don't put words in his mouth, child.]

What do you expect, though?

[heelys]

[Bumblebee looks like he might cry. If that's a thing he could even do anyway. Instead he just throws up his hands in frustration.]

What do I expect? [he's yelling now.] You know what? Screw you! I have no idea how to talk to any if you fragging glitch heads! Everything I say and am is wrong!

[he stomps out of the arcade, his engines revving angrily.] I expected my team--my friends--to have rescued my solar cycles ago! Not this! You have no idea what this is like!

[redshitlord]

[Okay, he was going to apologize. Because as far as he'd known, this was just two assholes giving each other shit. That's what he thought it was, anyway. The actual anger takes him aback...]

[And then the last line.]

[You have no idea what this is like!]

[Sideswipe bristles, stomping after him.]

Hey! Shut up! I know better than you think, Bug-brain! None of my friends are here either! But, oh and lemme guess, you don't care about that!

[heelys]

[UGH NO he's fragging following him. Bumblebee is too mad to really care about what Sideswipe is even saying though.]

Not really! I'm not giving you a hard time for being a Sideswipe I don't know!

[redshitlord]

Why not?

[If this weird kid knew a Sideswipe, why wasn't he firing back? That was how this worked.]

Dude, slow the rage train!

[heelys]

[He doesn't know a Sideswipe, but the point remains. Bumblebee swivels around to look up at Sideswipe with a scowl.]

Why? Ever since I got here everybot has been comparing me to the other Bumblebee. The other one that's here. It's like--it's like I don't even matter! Like I'm some stupid bad knock off!

[Bumblebee hesitates, trying not to let the fact that he's really upset about this get the better of him, his servos shaking a little into fists.]

Just leave me alone.

[redshitlord]

[Okay, he did not expect this kind of reaction. He'd just been giving the little dude a hard time -- what other Bee was here? He expected more of the same. Two idiots making fun of each other.]

[He really does not know what to do with this.]

That wasn't what I meant...

[But by then the other bot is telling him to leave him alone and what else is he supposed to do with that?]

Fine. Whatever.
