The Autobot Academy :Chap3:

"Anyways, to finish things off, this is where you'll be staying when training is complete," Cliffjumper said, opening up the door to a room in the Autobot Academy, allowing Sigourney to walk inside. The young Autobot looked inside, taking a few mental notes, "not bad," she said simply. "Also, you're roommate will be here shortly," Cliffjumper said, then, right on cue,  another femme, about Sigourney's height, walked in. Cliffjumper jumped lightly, not expecting to see her there, but soon shrugged it off.

"Elita-1, this is your new roommate, Sigourney," Cliffjumper said, then turned to Sigourney, "Sigourney, this is your roommate, Elita-1."

"Pleased to meet you, Sigourney," Elita-1 said, putting out her servo to shake Sigourney's. Sigourney grabbed her servo, shaking it, and nodded, "the pleasure is mine, Elita-1."

"Well, I'll allow you two to get aquatinted, I'll be back in a few cycles," Cliffjumper said as he left the room. "Well, I've heard some good things about you, Sigourney. Mind if I ask where you got your name? It's unlike anything I've ever heard." Elita-1 asked.

"Well, you've heard about my parents being scientists, right?" Sigourney asked. "Yes, I have, I think that's kind of cool," Elite-1 said. "Well, they studied this planet called Earth, which is one of the most complex planets we've ever seen, and they named me after a name they picked up there, which was Sigourney. Translated, it means 'leader who conquers.'"

"Wow, that's interesting," Elita-1 noted, "I know a bot who's really interested in organics."

"Really? Who?" Sigourney questioned, raising a metallic eyebrow. "His name is Jazz. He actually trains with Yoketron as a cyber ninja, but bots here at the academy and cyber ninjas in training are allowed to interact with one another after training is done." Elite-1 answered.

"Makes sense," Sigourney said nodding. 'Wait a minute, Jazz? Didn't mother mention something about a bot named Jazz? Eh, I'll ask later.' She thought to herself. "By the way, is it alright if I just call you Elita?"

"Sure," Elita replied, "fine by me. If you want, I can introduce you to a few friends."
"Sounds good," Sigourney said. Elita nodded as she got up. "Follow me," she said as she started to leave. Sigourney got up as well, "but hold a nano-klick," she said suddenly, "didn't Cliffjumper say he'd be back when he left us here?"

As if on cue, Cliffjumper came back, "I'm back," he said, "how're you two doing?"
Both looked at eachother, then nodded at Cliffjumper, "We're good." Both said in unison. Cliffjumper smiled, "alright, I'll let you two wander the academy now." He said, then started walking away.

"Well, that answers that question, shall we get going?" Elita asked. Sigourney nodded, "let's go."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few cycles later, Elita saw Jazz just coming out of the cyber ninja dojo, "hey, Jazz! Over here!" She called, waving her servo a bit. Jazz looked over, seeing Elita, he smiled and walked over to her and Sigourney, "hey Elita, who's this new femme?"

Elita put her hand around Sigourney's shoulders, "Jazz, this is my new roommate, Sigourney," she said. Jazz extended his servo to Sigourney, "pleased to meet you, Sigourney," he said, smiling. Sigourney nodded and returned the smile, shaking Jazz's servo, "The pleasure is mine."

Elita smiled a bit, then looked around, "hey Jazz, have you seen Sentinel and Optimus?"

"Nope, I haven't," Jazz said, letting go of Sigourney's servo. "Huh, I'll catch up with them later," Elita said, but then heard a voice, "hey Elita! You called?"

Sigourney and Elita looked over, only to see a tall bot with red and blue armour walking over to them. Sigourney seemed interested in this one, but hid it. "Hey! Optimus! There you are, I wanted to introduce you to my roommate," Elita said, then turned to Sigourney, "hey Sigourney, this is my friend, Optimus."

Sigourney nodded as she held out her servo, "nice to meet you, Optimus," she said. Optimus took her servo and gave her a good, strong handshake, nodding, "you too," he said.

"By the way, if you don't mind me askin'," Jazz started, talking to Sigourney, "are you a techno-organic?"

"Jazz!" Elita hissed. "Don't worry Elita, I don't care if anyone asks," Sigourney said reassuringly, laughing a little, then looked over at Jazz, "no, I'm not; I'm purely Cybertronian, even though I appear to be techno-organic."

"That's interesting, but also explains why you're wings are armoured with metal plating on the outside," Optimus noted. "Wow, you're an observant one," Sigourney said, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey! Elita! Optimus!" A voice called, making all four of them look over, only to see a blue bot running over to them. "I've been looking for you two-who's the techno-organic?" He asked in mid-sentence, noticing Sigourney, and skidding to a halt.

Elita shook her head at him, "Sentinel, this is my roommate, Sigourney." She said, "Sigourney, this is my friend, Sentinel." She leaned over and whispered into Sigourney's audio receptor, "ignore half the stuff he spits out; he hates organics."

"I'll keep that in mind," Sigourney whispered back. "Nice to meet you, Sentinel."
"Erm… you too… I think…" Sentinel said, backing up a little, how he hated organic creatures. "Hey guys, I have to get back to the dojo, I'll see you three later," Jazz said. "Alright, it was cool meeting you, Jazz," Sigourney said, smiling. Jazz took Sigourney's servo and kissed it gently, making her blush in surprise, "right back at you, later," he said, smiling and winking before turning around and walking away.
"Eww…." Sentinel muttered under his breath. "Wow, lucky you, Sigourney," Elita said almost teasingly, "looks like Jazz likes you."

"I can tell…" Sigourney muttered, rubbing her hand a little, blushing.

"Anyways," Sentinel said, putting his arm around Elita's shoulders, "how about Optimus and I take you femmes out for a few energon shakes? Our treat!" He offered, grinning a bit. Seeing as Elita was taken, Optimus put his arm around Sigourney's shoulders, making her smile a bit, she liked him already. "Sounds good," Elita said, "what about you, Sigourney?"

"Sounds great!" Sigourney said, smiling. "Alright, let's go," Optimus said as he started to walk away with Sigourney, followed by Elita-1 and Sentinel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about a megacycle after that, Elita and Sigourney headed back to their room, talking along the way.

"Lucky you," Elita said, elbowing Sigourney playfully, grinning, "Jazz likes you."
"I noticed," Sigourney grumbled lightly, "and here my father said not to be anywhere near the mechs."

"Most fathers are like that, Primus knows why," Elita said as she opened the door to their room, "since there aren't many female Autobots, it's gonna be pretty slagging hard to avoid them." Both laughed at that statement. "Good one," Sigourney remarked. "Why thank you," Elita said with a laugh as both walked in and sat down.

"By the way, what do you think of Optimus?" Elita asked in curiosity. "I like him," Sigourney said, smiling, "he's pretty nice, and doesn't seem to mind my organic styling unlike most bots."

"Cute, would you say?" Elita asked, grinning a little. "Well… maybe," Sigourney said, being a bit shy, grinning back. "You know," Elita started, "I think he likes you, even just a little."

"What-woah woah woah," Sigourney said, "what gives you THAT idea, Elita?"

"I saw how he was looking at you, and the fact that he practically couldn't get his optics off you, Jazz is gonna be pretty jealous," Elita answered teasingly, "Plus, he was the one who put his arm around you after Sentinel did to me. I think he just likes the idea of having another femme around."

"I highly doubt he likes me though," Sigourney responded. "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight," Elita-1 laughed lightly, opening the door to their dorm and walking in. Sigourney followed after, closing the door after her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later on, it was late, and Sigourney was leaning over the communicator on her wrist. It served as more than just a communicator; she could also hack into signals with it, and take notes about her surroundings. She was typing something into it.
Elita woke up from her stasis nap and yawned, then looked up when she saw Sigourney wide awake, "Hey Sigourney, what are you doing?" She asked with a yawn. "Just writing a few notes on what's happened today. Organic life forms called humans do it on another planet called Earth, they call it 'keeping a journal' or something like that. My father suggested for me to do that for whatever reason," Sigourney explained.

Elita yawned again and picked up a can of oil, opening it, "you should get some rest, you've got a big day ahead tomorrow, you and I alike," She suggested, picking up another can and offering it to Sigourney. Sigourney typed in the last bit of info and closed her communicator, taking the can and opening it as well. "Well, now that I've finished that, I think I will," Sigourney yawned, drinking some of the oil in the can. It felt good to talk to a femme aside from her own mother for once. She liked this academy stuff already. Elita finished rather quickly and crushed the can, tossing it aside and going back to her recharging table. Yawning once more, she got on her recharging table and fell back into stasis nap.

Once she finished, Sigourney crushed her can as well and got up, stretching and walking over to the recharge table beside Elita's and got on it as well, slowly falling into stasis nap.
