TF:A-Lessons

The girl slumped up the stairs sleepily, huddled up in a long brown blanket. She tried to shield her eyes from the rising sun as she stepped onto the roof of the building. She was greeted by a black and gold figure who had his usual scowling look on his face. “You’re late.” Prowl told her.

“Sorry.” Roxanne yawned. “It’s kind of hard to wake up at 5 in the morning.”

The bot frowned. “It’s six.”

“Whatever its still early.” she said followed by another yawn. “So what are we doing?”

Prowl shaked his head slightly as in saying ‘why me’. “Starting your training.”

The girl’s eyes widened. “Are you seriously thinking of training me?” Roxanne asked rather excitably.

“Yes.” he answered.

“Yes!” she yelled, raising her fist into the air. Roxanne had been asking Prowl to train her thousands of times earlier, getting thousands of no’s in return and now he was finally saying yes. Being annoying really paid off.

“So what are you teaching me first?” her smile widened and she had seemed to forget all her tiredness.

“Meditation.”

Roxanne frowned. “Say wha?”

Prowl sighed. “How did I know you were going to say that?”

The girl put her hands on her hips, dropping the blanket as she did. Roxanne was wearing her usual baggy jeans and pink shirt, shoes seemed to be absent. “Am I really that predictable?”

The mech thought for a while. “Yes.”

She rolled her eyes. “What about the ‘cool’ stuff?”

“’Cool’ stuff?”

The teenager gave yet another yawn. “You know, all that flipping and kicking and...” Roxanne stopped talking, seeing that Prowl was glaring at her.

“That will come later.” he said that to her like she was an impatient child, which she probably was. “First you need to learn balance, concentration and most importantly in your case patience.”

Roxanne narrowed her eyes. “Alright then.” she then sat upon the concrete roof, closed her eyes and made a small but annoying humming sound.

Prowl stared at her oddly. “What are you doing?”

She looked up at him as if the answer was obvious. “Duh, I’m meditating.”

The mech scowled at her. “That’s not how you meditate.”

“Oh...” Roxanne said not realising her mistake. “Then how do you meditate?”

She watched Prowl sit cross legged beside her. “I will guide you through it.”

“Kay.” she answered.

“First put your hands on your knees.”

“Kay.”

“Then relax yourself, but don’t be so relaxed that you end up falling asleep.”

“Kay.”

“Then power down your optics.”

Roxanne frowned. “Humans don’t have optics.”

He sighed. “Then close your eyes.”

“Kay.”

Prowl was starting to get annoyed by her same, dull answer. “Now focus on your spark...”

“Humans don’t have sparks either.” Roxanne interrupted.

The ninja bot resited flicking the human in the head. “Then what do you have?”

“I have a heart, I could focus on my heart beat.” she suggested.

Prowl agreed and then powered down his optics. Roxanne copied him by closing her eyes. Prowl was surprised that the human was being so quiet, usually she would be playing video games with Bumblebee and be so loud and annoying.

He heard and odd sound. Prowl’s optics flicked back on and he turned to look at Roxanne. She was fast asleep on the concrete and had been making sleeping noises but now lay silently with a smile on her face.

Prowl reached over to get the blanket Roxanne had dropped earlier and laid it over her. Roxanne’s smile widened slightly.

The mech smiled a little himself then powered down his optics and went back to meditating.
