[Wellp. Ironhide can't really fit in a bathroom right now. But there's a delightful public restroom opening out into a park...]

[... that he's currently parked in. Enjoying some afternoon sunshine.]

[Good luck with that one, Henry.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry comes stumbling out into the sunshine with his shirt tugged up over his nose. UGH public bathrooms...]}

[heavyweaponsbot]

[And there's Ironhide.]

[Just sitting there. As if in wait for some poor soul to come stumbling past unawares.]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[That is exactly what happened...that was, until the sun glinted off ironhide's shiny hood. Henry was used to dark spaces and lifted an arm to sheild his eyes...when he caught his own reflection.]

[...in a very familiar tire rim.]

[The hairs on the back of his neck stand up. The shovel in his hands almost slips. No. No, it's just...it's just some big truck. PEOPLE HAVE TRUCKS ALL THE TIME. ESPECIALLY IN POKEMON LAND AHAHA ha ha..ha.]</sub>

[exeggutorhead]

[Bathrooms are great places to hide from ghosts, obviously.]

[Well maybe not, but the restrooms in the Lavender Town radio tower seemed like as good a place to hide from a herd of very persistent ghost Pokemon as any.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Despite the fact Ironhide has no visible eyes in his truck mode... Henry can probably feel the Autobot's attention shift.]

[Directly onto him.]

[trapsense]

[so this is a girl, right?

you'll have to wonder though what she's doing in a male bathroom in a department store(?)

oops???]

Re: [action]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Oh, God, there were monster headaches at the end of this hole what.]

[He clambers out and instantly holds his head, almost dropping the shovel he'd found.]</sub>


Auuuusshhfbuuuhhffmf.

[completingthesacraments]

[Oh hey, you're looking at yourself in the mirror oh wait....Behind you.]

Henry.

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[The moment he spots her he freezes.]

[DB oh god is this the wrong bathroom?]</sub>

Uh.

[trapsense]

[well no

she was clearly taking a piss

standing up

and with the right equipment.........]

...Hi? [oh wow this is embarrassing!]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry stops making faces at himself and freezes up, almost dropping the shovel he'd found.]

[He wheels around and backs into the sink, shoulders hunching. He doesn't yell at Walter. He doesn't scream or even scold him with an accusing, "YOU."]

[He just swings the shovel with his noodle arms as hard as he can.]</sub>

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry bites his lip and sloooowly steps across the grass, never once taking his eyes off that grill.]

[It's just... a truck.]

[It's just a truck.]

[Pleaseletitjustbeatruck.]</sub>

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Oh, it's a truck all right.]

[It's a truck that abruptly unfolds. And stands up.]

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[Turning around right away because wait, where did that person come from? ...Where did that hole come from?]

[What the hell?]

...Henry?

[It took him a second to recognize his 'Gear buddy in the flesh. Especially holding his head like that. He reaches out to shake Henry's shoulder a little, because surely that will fix this.]

[no_ufo_ending]

...Hi. Sorry! Ahaha ha. Uh. Carry on!

<sub>[NOPE.]

[Henry catches the shovel on the end of the hole and almost falls out of it as he backs up and disappears back the way he came.]</sub>

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry sorely wished that there was an Evil Truck Jesus he could repent to so that Ironhide would leave him alone. He didn't waste time, he threw the shovel behind himself and took off back toward the building.]

[It was his only hope.]</sub>

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide reaches forward, his fingers seizing the back of Henry's shirt.]

[He just lifts.]

Want to discuss your hair now, boy?

Re: [action]

[no_ufo_ending]

Aaahh-- aauughh-wh. Envy?

_{[He blinked up at his friend and looked behind him. The hole had already vanished. Man.]}

Where am I?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry makes feeble grabbyhands at the ground as it zooms away from him. He didn't want to look into those huge, grouchy headlights.]}

N-NOT REALLY?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Don't make any sudden moves, Henry. You're twenty-some feet off the ground.]

I think you should.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry knew that covering his eyes would do no good. So he just watched the ground and wished he hadn't thrown his shovel away. He could see it from where he hung.]}

WHAT ABOUT IT?

_{[He was under the impression that he had to shout so that the monster could hear him.]}

[heavyweaponsbot]

Waiting.

[He twitches his fingers. Very slightly. Just enough to make Henry bounce a little.]

For an apology.

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry lets out a yelp.]

[An apology? Over the hair prank? He looked up at the robot, a frazzled, broken little photographer. He thought about it. It would be the most sensible thing to do...but he was Henry Townshend! He was 21/21! He was a destined god-killer! He wasn't going to be bullied by some stupid space robot.]

[He squares his jaw and squints.]</sub>

No.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide's good optic squints right back.]

[He casually shakes out his free hand. Allowing the glowing orange barrel of his fission cannon to emerge. No, he would never use it on a human being, but Henry doesn't need to know that.]

What was that?
