You know, it's funny. When I first got here, I figured I'd be long gone by now. Everyone was a lot smaller, too, but you know. Details. I even treated it like a vacation. Of course, back then no one knew what happened to anyone who left, was told they just went back home.

Obviously that's not the case.

[A sort of hiss lingers in her voice just thinking about it.]

...I don't know where I was going with this, I'm just...tired.

Think some holiday is coming up, so...happy whatever that is.

[Wow, one whole year.]

[She sounds so familiar, but honestly he can't quite place it. But still, she looks sad she needs some assurance.]

There are many universes...it can feel lonely when you are aware of it.

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

[Maybe it's for the best that he can't place it.]

Lonely doesn't even begin to cover this scrap.

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

Yes...I was like this in another world.

Someone close to me left without warning.

I...broke my room.

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

[Oh Primus, that actually gets her to chuckle. Once.

Just once.]

Glad I'm not the only one who knows how to handle that.

[Progress! Surprising given Leatherhead's tendency to be a bit heavy in his conversations.]

I started to feel better after fighting two people.

The pain becomes manageable.

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

[It's like she found her people.]

Can't believe I'm saying this to a fragging dog, but I like you already.

What's your name?

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

[Angry fuzzies unite.]

It may not help, but I was not a dog before this place.

Leatherhead.

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

[Even his name is more akin to the names she's used to. Who are you, shining example of all that is good in the world?]

Call me Arcee.

[bigsoftie]

[It's almost like he's part Cybertronian.]

Arcee...

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

[Wait...as soon as he says that name, the puzzle pieces connect like freaking magnets.]

I know that name...

Are you...are you a Cybertronian?

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

[And just like that, the perfect dog just became the suspicious dog.]

...And you know that how?

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

In the Digital World, I had friends who were from Cybertron.

They were good friends.

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

Uh huh...

[Where'd she hear that before? She's pretty sure someone brought up a digital world before...]

Well I hate to break it to you, but I have no idea what that is.

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

[Well he kinda knew Arcee forgot some details, maybe she needed to refresh her memory.]

It was the Digital World...with the digimon...there was Wheeljack and Whirl and Bumblebee...

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

And like I told...

[Damn it, who was it? Someone she already knew...FLUTTERSHY. It was a Fluttershy.]

...Fluttershy, that wasn't me. Apparently there's...more of me.

[That's so weird to say, please don't ever have to admit that again.]

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

I...I should have realized that..

I am sorry for mentioning it, I shall not again.

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

Please. Don't.

[She can't stress that enough. Between that and the pink thing, she's not sure what to think anymore when it comes to...worlds.]

Wheeljack...was here...

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

[Duly noted, mentioning it to her would bring more painful awkwardness for the both of them.]

He was? Did he say anything?

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

Not much. He left about as fast as he came.

[Which hurts. A lot.]

Which means he's inside that thing.

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

...do you mean Calice?

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

I try not to give things names.

[Sadie doesn't count.]

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

Whatever it is, I will stop this thing.
