Merry Christmas Everybody :)
So we finally have a real chapter 2 for this story :3 And It's Christmas themed! WOOO! So sit back, got some hot chocolate and relax...unless you do not like JackXMiko in which case may I ask why you're here?
This wont be as elaborate or as in detail as the first chapter, it's meant to be a short Christmas gift to give you the warm and fuzzies :)
Transformers and Transformers Prime is owned by Hasbro/Takara.
In Jack Darby's life things had changed rather quickly in under a year. He got his first motorcycle that turned out to be an alien robot from another planet. He had made new friends, two human and the rest aliens from another planet.
Helping in their war he had meet some interesting new people. Been to a few new places, and many things in his life had changed.
Since the end of the war three major changes had occurred. A hole had been left in his family due to Optimus Prime's sacrifice. It was a hole which would never be filled. Despite how June, Fowler and the other Bots could try and carry on. They would be unable to come close to filling the gap left by Optimus
The second change had happened a few months back and shortly after the Autobots left for Cybertron. As Jack sat on the couching with some hot chocolate, that change flung her arms around her neck.
"Enjoying your hot chocolate Jack?" Miko asked playfully. Jack looked back and smiled.
"It's good Miko, not burned this time." Jack said.
Miko smirked, letting go of Jack and jumping over the couch. She flopped down next to Jack, who tried to keep his mug from spilling.
"Yeah well, your mom said that either I would get it right or I wouldn't be allowed in the kitchen." Miko chuckled. She looked over toward a small work area, situated to the side of the room.
"How's our genius "brother?" Miko asked.
Since Raf had always been like a brother to the two of them, Miko had dubbed Raf "little brother". At first, June had objected to it. Raf hadn't minded as he always saw Jack and Miko as older siblings.
"He's still working on that communications system with the bots." Jack said.
"Didn't he have a working version yesterday?" Miko glanced at the workshop. Jack let out a sigh.
"He did but Ratchet dropped it." Jack mumbled. Miko smirked at the thought at the thought of Ratchet's "catchphrase" being thrown back at him.
Jack chuckled and wrapped an arm around Miko. Ever since their impromptu meet up on the rooftop, the two had slowly begun forming a relationship. Though decidedly taking things slow.
Miko leaned into Jack with a smile. The two of them sat for a few minutes before Miko looked at Jack.
"So, what did you get me?" She smirked. Jack looked down at her, brushing some hair from her face.
"No spoilers Miko, you're not finding out till tomorrow." Jack teased. Miko blew air into Jack's own hair.
"Aww, you're no fair." Miko crossed her arms and pouted.
Jack wrapped some of Miko's hair around his finger. His gaze traveled to where Raf was working, before looking back toward Miko.
"Based off yesterday...I'm thinking of giving Raf his gift early." Miko looked up at him.
"So little bro gets his presents early while your girlfriends stuck waiting?" asked Miko. Jack gave Miko a blank look.
"He needs them probably sooner than later." Jack took a glance toward Raf's workshop, as they both heard Raf shout. He had accidentally touched a short out wire and gotten zapped.
Miko turned toward Jack, leaning in close to his ear.
"I hope it was rubber gloves because it sounds like he needs those too." Jack gave Miko a pointed look. Miko looked back at him and gave the same look. Then she reached up and tapped his nose with her finger.
"Boop."
A little while later, the two of them were standing outside Raf's small workshop. Jack clutched a rather large Box in his hands, wrapped in yellow paper.
Miko stood next to Jack, looking at the size of the box before back at Jack.
"Dude did you buy him a new computer?" She asked.
"Not quite Miko." Jack said as he walked toward the small area. Miko followed him as he tapped on the side of the wall.
Raf was working at a small desk with many electronic parts around him. His laptop sat next to him with schematics for the device on it. Raf turned at the sound of the knocking, seeing Jack and Miko.
"Hey "little bro." Jack said with a smile. Raf smiled as he hopped out his chair.
"Hi guys, what are you doing?" Raf asked. His eyes traveled toward the present. Miko threw out her hands, gesturing to the present in a "ta da fashion"
"Early Christmas present dude! though he still won't give me mine early." Miko fake pouted. Raf chuckled as Jack handed him the box. Raf looked up at the two with a smile.
"You guys didn't have to do this." He said. Miko smiled and ruffled Raf's hair.
"For you "bro" anything." Miko said with a grin. Jack cleared his throat and Miko turned to look at him innocently.
"Miko, the gift was mine to begin with." Jack rolled his eyes. Miko leaned on his shoulder as Raf began to rip open the wrapping paper.
"As girlfriend as it partially my gift." Miko teased. Jack smiled as they heard Raf gasp. Miko and Jack turned to look. Raf tipped the box toward them, showing pile old cell phones. Some were intact while others looked very damaged.
Miko stood there for a moment and turned to Jack, giving him a flat look. Jack was smiling though, much to Miko's confusion. Then both of them felt themselves being pulled together in a hug.
"Thank you guys so much, I needed these!" Raf yelled happily. Both Jack and Miko were almost knocked over by his hug, but returned it none the less.
"Wait, you wanted a bunch of old phones?" Miko asked.
Raf walked over and held up the small device he was working on. It was a new version of his old communications device he had built.
"They need to be small as cell phones, so that's what the basis will be." Raf said, looking at the box with a grin. He pulled out the extremely damaged ones and then laid those on his work bench.
"Where did you even get that many?" Miko asked. Jack gave a rather meek shrug.
"Well you know old phones that I found in the KO Burger, online auctions..." He trailed off, looking toward Raf.
"Did I get you enough?" Jack asked. Raf looked up and nodded.
"More than enough Jack, I can build one for everyone on the base at this rate." Raf said. A smile grew on Jack's face as he bent down and gave Raf a hug.
"Merry Christmas Raf." Jack said, patting the young boys back.
"Merry Christmas Jack." Raf said, before stepping back and Looking at Miko. A smile crossed the girls face as she bent down.
"Come here "little bro." Miko grinned as Raf embraced her. Miko ruffled Raf's hair as she stood up.
"Well, we'd better let you get back to work." Jack offered. Raf gave a nod and a smile.
"Thank you Jack." Raf repeated. Jack took Miko's hand and the two of them walked out of the small workshop.
"So, think that I managed to do a good?" Jack looked at Miko. Miko leaned into Jack with a smirk.
"You did good Darby." Miko said, as leaned up and gave Jack's cheek a kiss. Jack's face flushed red as the two of them walked along. Jack looked at Miko with a smirk, before he reached into his pocket.
"Though it would be unfair to leave my girlfriend out of at least part of her present." Jack said. He handed Miko a small card. Miko blinked as she took it from him and looked it over.
"One free trip and back on the ground bridge to..." she trailed off as she looked at the destination. Jack looked on with a grin as Miko looked back up.
"This doesn't make any sense!' She called after him. Jack's grin got even wider.
"It does if you followed the Slash Monkey tour schedule." Jack said.
Miko stared at the card before looking back toward Jack. With a smile she pocked the card.
"I take it that means I'll find out what my real present is tomorrow." She said knowingly. Jack smiled and hugged Miko.
"Merry Christmas Miko." He whispered. Smiling Miko returned the hug.
"Merry Christmas Jack."
