Robot Christmas

WHO: Tailgate and Fulcrum
WHERE: Tailgate's place
WHEN: Christmas
WHAT: robots hanging out
WARNINGS: none

Christmas! Christmas time! Tailgate only knows about it through books and stuff, but it's exciting! Tailgate did everything he could to make his home look like the ones in the magazines. He got pretty darn close, but not quite. For example, he had several tree toppers, and had them all on the tree because he couldn't decide which one he liked the most. It's not like anyone who's going to go inside is going to know the difference.

He even had several badly wrapped presents stashed underneath. One for each of his friends who were here (all three of them). For the occasion, he wore a cozy little dress. Tailgate thinks it's the most gorgeous thing in his wardrobe, so naturally he wears it just for Fulcrum.

Right now he's staring intently at the oven, wondering if he had gotten the turkey right. He should have! This was his third try at it. With any luck it'll be done by the time Fulcrum gets here.

Eventually, there's finally a knock on the door. The amount of holidays that humans celebrate is impressive, but he thinks he sort of gets why. With such short lives, they need every opportunity to celebrate, right? That makes sense. Besides, it's kind of cute. Especially this Christmas thing!

So Fulcrum has arrived in what he thinks to be a pretty damned good outfit. It was with a bunch of other sweaters, so it's obviously Christmas. Besides, it's blue! Like Tailgate's eyes. Which is admittedly like other Autobot eyes, but whatever.

In his arms is a pile of packages, wrapped perfectly. Fulcrum was determined to get it right.
