But I don't want to act like a loser every time Wing shows up! C'mon, can't I just be cool? Just once?

Okay like maybe not stumble over everything I ever say? Or like... Do something amazing that impresses him?

I don't know what! I can't think of that off the top of my head I gotta think about it!

...

And I'm not gonna say I'm a better spy than Blurr, because that's rude. ... Evenifitistrue.

Want my advice? Just be yourself with Wing. If he's going to like you, he should like you for you. And yeah, you need to calm down too. take a few deep vents.

And can't you and Blurr get along and work together?

[popculturecon]

I am! I'm being really, really, really me, okay? Just cooler and more fun to talk to.

Okay, uh yeah? We are? Just uh... Y'know since I'm Third in Command of an army, I think we know who's more awesome at their job.

[notoptimus]

Okay, maybe you are. But being nervous about it isn't going to help.

Um, if you haven't noticed, there are no armies on this Cybertron. So hate to break it to you, but you're no longer third in command.

[popculturecon]

Well it's really hard not to be!

[THIS SOUNDWAVE HAS NO CHILL PLEASE HELP]

Well... I was back at home. It was really important there.

He's not better.

[notoptimus]

Well yeah, but you need to calm down, take some calming vents as I said. A calmed mind is a better thinking mind.

[BEE, WHAT DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT DATING. YOU'VE PROBABLY DATED LESS THAN OPTIMUS, AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.]

I get that, trust me. But this isn't home.

And you know that, how? [God, stop acting like Sideswipe.]

[popculturecon]

I'm calm!

[NOT CALM]

Because it's not? Look, I was like, instantly promoted to third fresh out of the Academy, I was tops in all my classes, I have dirt on everything the Autobots are doing, ever, I even figured out where their first base was, that was me, AND, telepath.

Boom, better.

[notoptimus]

[Just a patient look. Are you done yelling?]

Okay, I'll give you that, but who's to say Blurr doesn't? He was part of the elite guard on his Cybertron. And if they're anything like the one on mine, it's not easy to get into.

Telepath..?

[popculturecon]

... Well he's still not better.

Yeah, I'm really good at it.

[thenamesnotzippy]

Areyouthebetterspy? I was unaware that this was a contest but seeing as you likely wouldn't be able to match my speed I suppose it makes sense that you'd look for another way to try to compete with me. Andactuallyspeedisquiteimportantinmylineofwork but it's okay I'm sure where you lack in speed you make up for it in other areas.

[popculturecon]

I guess when you put it like that-

It is pretty awesome being a telepath and pretty much knowing everything about a mech the moment you meet them, haha.

Pretty awesome having a processor faster and more powerful than anyone elses, probably why I'm already third in command.

[thenamesnotzippy]

Oh yeah? Read my mind right now. Do it. Ibetyoucan'tdoit.

[popculturecon]

Other than that obnoxious loop about that local carwash?

You think I can't hear what you're thinking.

...

And that really annoying jingle, Primus, don't you have anything better?

[thenamesnotzippy]

Lucky guess.

[blarr no]

Okaydoitagain only this time do it for real.

[popculturecon]

Okay well, it was real that ti-

HEY!

I'M NOT A WEENIE TAKE THAT BACK!

[thenamesnotzippy]

Ididn'tsayitoutlouditdoesn'tcount!

Okay so you can read minds that's actually really creepy why is that even a thing you can do?

[popculturecon]

IT STILL COUNTS! I didn't even call you any names!

It's not creepy! I've always been able to, like since forever! It's really useful, okay?

[thenamesnotzippy]

I technically didn't call you anything!

Andit'stotallycreepy just because it's useful doesn't mean it isn't creepy!

[popculturecon]

Mind name calling is still name calling!

Is not! I bet if you could, you'd use it all the time!
