"Take your hands off me!" shouted Megatron as Elisabeth was trying to style his still quite wet hair. He didn't know what the purpose of this was, but it was... unpleasant. He felt weird about touching each other.

"Okay, okay I'm done!" she held up her hands in defence. "But now that we're finished, we can go shopping, because we're out of a lot of things."

She picked up the keychain from the kitchen table and signalled Megatron to go with her into the garage. Where there was a car, but not any kind of car. An Aston Martin, which looked like Knockout. Minus the colour, because it was black. But there was no way he would sit in that thing! It was as if he would sit in his medic, which was too wild even for him.

"So, this is your, I mean Merlin's car, but because I doubt you can drive, I will do the honours. Not that I mind, this car is majestic!" she exclaimed excitedly while opening the front door next to the driver's seat.

"I will not sit in this."

"This is only a car. You must have cars if your kind is metal-based."

"That is the thing. Our kind's other very unique ability is to transform into things. Including cars."

"So, you are essentially a car?!" No, this was WILD! There's a half robot, half car alien in her best friend's body! How is this getting weirder and weirder?

"No, I am not a car and do not compare the two."

"But still, I need you to get in because the supermarket is farther away than the hospital and I don't want to walk there. Neither do you. Please, I don't want to start this all over again."

"Fine, you irritating human!" He said giving up the hope that he will ever win against Elisabeth. She was just too persistent. So, he sat in the other seat next to her and they could go shopping.

"Safety belt!" she shouted and pulled a belt out from the top left side of his seat and pushed its end into a lock.

The ride was calm and unusually quiet. Megatron watched as the different sized, shaped, coloured cars pass by, some slow, some fast. He saw buildings, one taller than the others, and they were like the ones in Kaon. In a way, it felt like home, but also so much different too.

After a moment or two, he heard music, because Elisabeth turned on the radio as they were waiting in front of a red lamp.

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch

Elisabeth seemed pleased by the music because she slightly started to move her head to the beat and tapped her fingers on the wheel. Unlike Megatron who found this hurting his audio receptors. It was rare for him to listen to music, the only reason for that was when Orion enthusiastically brought him new songs that they could listen to together later. But what they listened to was way more sophisticated than this. Two other terrible songs are needed for them to finally arrive at the supermarket.

But when they went inside it was when he saw what humanity was like. The supermarket was filled with them, all looking different, doing all kinds of things. The overwhelming bustling reminded him of Cybertron, right before the Great War. Right before everything fell apart.

"Are you all right?" asked Elisabeth, genuinely worried. She knew it might be too early to bring him shopping, while he is disgusted by humans, but it was still better than leaving him alone at home. However, he didn't seem to respond to her question, so Elisabeth put one of her hands on his shoulder and turned him to face her. "Megatron, are you all right?"

"Why would you care about my wellbeing?"

"Because as you see, you are my responsibility and I don't usually take my responsibilities lightly. So? Is it about the crowds? We can avoid them if you want." It was quite funny even to her how considerate she sounds when less than an hour ago she was ready to drown him for talking back to her. But maybe the look he gave her when he begged not to be pushed back moved something inside of her. It was not a good sign.
