Cheese? What does earthen dairy-based nourishment have to do with anything?
And...Cute? "Thank you." He says, genuinely. Well, genuinely embarrassed. But still. "And you have a fire truck Optimus too? Most of the ones I know about turn into a different kind of earth truck." Which this Optimus also turns into, but whatever.
"A lot of us have these mouthplates--two more of my crew have them, too. They're an adequate protector during combat, but primarily they're there for welding. That's what our jobs were--space bridge repair."
"As for not being one of them.. don't for one moment not think you're not one of us." Optimus smiles again.

"Aww, you're so nice!" She says cheerily, and then falls into a thoughtful quiet at his last sentence.
"I had a lot of things I thought of that prevented me from joining them. As awesome as I feel most of the time, something just... Seemed different about wanting to go up and say 'Hey! Can I join you?' Yanno? Well, it's weird to describe. This kinda stuff..." She seems to pout somewhat, but shrugs it off.
"Well either way, I'm gonna remember THAT for a long time to come. Thank you!" She tilts her head up at him and flashes him the victory sign.

Optimus Prime's cartoon was animated in the US, so not everyone does the victory sign. But he can get that it's a good thing.
"If you ever go back, you should talk to them. I'm sure they'd like you. Besides, don't we have a few of them here? Have you ever spoken to them?"

"Yea... A little bit. I just think they're not used to the fact that I'm from where they are too. Still a stranger. Ah well!" She tilts her head back and then turns to him. "It's decided!"
No matter how he reacts, she turns and goes to poke her fingers at the corners of his mouth. "I'll go talk to them more if we go back, if you will smile more!" She declares, and then nods, "Do you think you can do that? I'll try if you'll try!"

Optimus has been smiling! A lot, in fact! But he does smile when prompted by Firebolt. "Good. I'm sure you won't regret it."
"So anyway... you were an Autobot but not known by the Optimus Prime from your world. How did you end up on earth on your own?"

"Ok, see, like, their pods when they went to earth were like WOOOSH," She demonstrated, waving both of her hands together and indicated a projectile crashing into something. "And then mine?" She raises her hand again and raises her pointer finger, indicating herself. "Neeeyww," she says softly and indicates the direction which was opposite of the 'others'. Her ponytails fall a little, "I scanned a car nearby, which was a Ferrari F50 and never really thought I was supposed to be anything. Well, until I saw news reports about Transforming Robots. So I snuck off and watched 'em from afar."
She tilts her head back and then curls up, hugging her knees. "I don't like talking about it. It was stupid of me. I learned better though, mostly from being here."

Pods? Weird. "There's a saying where I come from, Firebolt," Optimus says, placing a reassuring hand on Firebolt's shoulder. "That we are all cogs in the great Autobot machine. Every single one of us has an important and indispensable job to do. I'd hate to think that your fellow bots need to miss out on what you can offer them."
Perhaps a change of subject is in order. Optimus points out the window. "Do you think those stars could be a lightning bolt?"

She mopes about a little, thinking over what he says. "So what can I offer anyone? I hope it's more than just a shield," she says, and then sighs and looks back up towards the stars.
"Lightning bolt?" she tilts her head from side to side, and then points, "And there's Thor!!"

"Don't play down a bubbly and enthusiastic personality, Firebolt." Optimus says. "Keeping morale high is an important task, and if people approached their problems with half of your enthusiasm, well, a lot would get done." He has another look. "And what's a thor?"

"What's a THOR?! AAAAAAAAH," She groans, and pokes him in the chest. "We are going to need to educate you SO BAD," She declares, and then goes to send him a few files on the Norse god, along with some comic book pages. Mostly comic pages. "He is one of the coolest superheros that was based off the great and mighty Norse god of Thunder!" She jumps up and strikes a pose, as if holding a mighty hammer above her head. "Invoking the powers of lightning, he smote his foes in ancient times, and was one of the strongest in Norse Mythology, AND HE MADE ONE GREAT SUPERHERO!!"
"Now you, you tell me something cool," she points, sitting back down and looking up at Optimus with wide optics.

Optimus? Tell something cool? Can't we just go back to talking about comic book superheroes where there is a chance he could almost know something on the topic?
"Well, I turn into a firetruck. Apparently, that's cool?" He has no idea.

"Baaah," Firebolt waves her hand. "You're bad at this game. I'll go again. I think," she stops, really thinking about what to share.
"I got nothin," she says, resuming staring out at the stars. Maybe they'll give her inspiration.

Optimus can only shrug. "I wouldn't know. I just knew that I was applauded by a lot of children and parents when I transformed." He shrugs again. "They... seemed kind of disappointed when I turned back into robot mode. They were chanting Firetruck and everything! And had all these questions too..."
So. Many. Questions.

"I'm sorry...? I know humans are weird," she nods sagely, "But if it makes you feel better, you can ask me stupid questions, cos I don't care! That way, you can make up for getting asked stupid questions. This also helps us make conversation because I am no good at small talk."

"I've probably asked my share of stupid questions. Thanks, but I don't need a venue to ask any more than necessary." Optimus is grateful, of course. "And don't worry about the conversation. You're doing fine."
Optimus reads some of the comic scans. "So... A Thor is a human with their own version of a Magnus Hammer? With a red cape for some reason?"
And he can fly. Why can humans fly but Autobots cannot?
