Holding true to his offer, Ramulus has allowed Firebolt to take him to one of the lounges for a movie night. Or, a marathon, or.... something. Was Ramulus a movie fan in the past? He has no slaggin' clue.... But the kid has them, loves them, and he himself is easily interested into catching up on what he has missed.
So Ramulus hath flopped down on one of the couches, waiting for Firebolt to set everything up. Then a thought occurs to him, "Eh, Firebolt... come to think of it; it might be best if you don't put on any scary movies or anything, if you have those"
Ramulus scares easily? No, he doesn't think so.... just doesn't want to cause trouble.

Firebolt sets up the movie she wants to watch, which does happen to be Ferris Beuller's Day Off, and then sits down next to Ramulus, curling up and hugging her knees. She points at the movie as it starts, excited.
"And don't worry. This isn't scary at all," she says, forgetting how upset a scene of the movie makes her in her excitement to show Ramulus movies. She gets quite giddy when the Ferrari shows up on the screen and bounces in the seat.

Ramulus blinks at the on screen ferrari, then chuckles. The bot next to him has a predictable love, it seems. "Am I supposed to see a.... likeness?" he looks from the Autobot to the screen and back.
He shuts himself up though, optics widening as a species appears on screen, talking, doing... stuff. Completely fascinated, he absentmindedly directs to Firebolt: "are those.... humans?"
Yes, that took a lot of puzzling and database searching, and it's a wild guess. But Firebolt said she was from Earth, and there was a file about it on database. High odds.
"Fascinating" Because watching intelligent aliens just is!

"What, you've never seen humans before? Well that's all I got movies of. Well I got cartoon movies too, but yanno," she waves her hand dismissively and then continues watching. "Yes, though, those are humans."
Of course, as the movie comes along, there's good scenes and... Bad. The beautiful on screen Ferrari crashes out of a window after an attempt to hide the fact that the movie's stars drove it too much that day. Firebolt wibbles, and then full out cries (at least making the noises for it) and loudly at that. "WH-HY-HY-HYYYYYY DID THEY HURT THE POOR LITTLE FERRARI WHYYYY," she kicks her feet out and stomps the ground, acting so depressed one would think that it was her being hurt instead. She slides off the couch and onto the ground, pouting and acting very upset.

Somewhere down the hall, there is a tall, rusty robot looking for something to do.
And rather than he finding it, it finds him, in the form of Firebolt's wailing.
His expression immediately grows dramatic, jaw clenched and optics flashing as he tears off down the hall in the direction of the noise, sword hilt drawn from his chest, drawing the smaller blade for it from subspace with a brilliant flash of green light.
The Junkion barges into the lounge, and bellows to those within earshot: "Who dares to attack someone on my wat--GHAHHHAAACK!"
Dai-Janku, grand Junkion swordsman, soon finds himself bested by a piece of furniture, going head-over-aft after his shins get intimate with an unoccupied couch. The valiant warrior tumbles rather ungracefully across the floor like a ragdoll, settling in a groaning pile.
At least he knows how to make an entrance.

"No..." And so Ramulus keeps on watching, visibly amused.
Then Firebolt begins to pout, wail and cry, and the Maximal rushes up, "Wha, what's so.... it's just a movie.... huh? Ehm... Firebolt? Are you okay...?" He watches her a bit more than carefull from his perch, then jumps up with a defensive growl as Dai-Janku enters suddenly.
He just plainly stares at the heap of bot though, not entirely sure what's expected of him right now.

"Th-They're JERKS..." she sniffles and sobs, and then is about to go stop the movie when there's a huge, loud crash from behind. She sits bolt upright and turns to look back, seeing a pile of 'Bot next to the couch.
"Oh GOSH Are you ok!?!" She completely forgets the movie in worry for the prone Junkion. She jumps up and then scrabbles over the couch, managing to somehow get her feet caught up on the edge of the seat and pulls an excellent, accidental flip over the couch, becoming a tangle of red armored limbs and then slamming on the ground next to Dai-Janku. "Oh *** the things I'll do when I'm worried about people," she groans, and then looks over, beaming cheesily at the Junkion.
"Don't cry for me, Argentina," she declares, and sits up, grabbing her head and rubbing at it. "Rammy, stop the movie, or something... We got a visitor."

Having spent most of the first day in space moving equipment and other trivial-but-essential background chores, Makeshift now finds himself lazily flying towards the lounge area, thankful of his small size. After all, a ship built big enough for the likes of Skyfire to walk easily in is more than large enough for the Mini-con to have plenty of maneuvering room. If only the hallways had a good breeze....
A series of loud crashes suddenly catches his attention, and he fires his boosters, kicking up his speed and swerving into the lounge.....to see Firebolt falling over next to what looks like a pile of scrap parts and what looks like a Maximal caught in an explosion. He's seen Ramulus around a bit, but hasn't much had a chance to talk to him, what with the evil duplicates and the ship-building and whatnot.
"Uh.....is everyone all right?" the tiltrotor asks, transforming and landing on the back of a large chair.

With a groan of his vocaliser, and the groan of some of his joints, Dai-Janku rolls onto his back. His shin spikes are a bit bent, and a couple of them may even be missing.
Or stuck in the couch he tripped over. He slowly raises up, arms pointed back to brace against the floor. "Sorry.... Thought I'd be able to land properly this time..."1 He shakes his head, and his chromed chevron falls off, though it's quickly grabbed up and stuck back on his noggin.
Then he looks around. then to Makeshift. "That's what I'd like to know. I thought someone was being attacked! So I ran in here, and then the couch attacked me." Sadface. "If there was an attacker, I appear to have scared him off."

"This time? Does that mean you make it a habit to trip over furniture?" Ramulus tilts his head. Strange fella, this. Then he boldly attacks the autobot-sized remote, pressing some random buttons. The volume gets higher, and lower.
"What happened? Er..." Ramulus casts a glance from remote to bot, "we were watching a movie...?"
A button further and the entire movie begins to fast forward. But the sound is gone, so the ibex gives up. He dangles the thing above Firebolt's head, replying grimly, "it doesn't like me much"

Ramulus' reaction to the remote is enough to completely distract Firebolt from the thought of a crushed-Ferrari. She sniffles, getting over the feelings of sad, and then turns and stops the movie, the screen going black. She doesn't get up yet, but rubs at her back, as if it hurts.
"M'sorry little dude and erm. Not so little dude," she looks to Makeshift and then Dai-Janku. "There was a scene in the movie that I forgot about and it made me SAD," she thinks, her ponytails dropping low, "I guess I did sound sort of in trouble. But I won't do that anymore, we can watch action movies! And now we have more people to watch with!!" She jumps up in a cheer. "Who likes Spider-Man?"

"I think you've adequately vanquished the terrible couch fiend," Makeshift assures Dai-Janku. After seeing Pee-Dee come back just fine from being melted into scrap twice within a couple of weeks, he's not too worried about a Junkion getting hurt from tripping.
"Movies, huh?" the Mini-con says, sitting down on his chair-top perch. "Haven't had a chance to watch a vid in a couple million years or so. Mind if I join you?"

Dai-Janku stands, restoring his sword blade to subspace, and placing the hilt on his chest. He then crosses his arms with a bit of a smirk. "Of course I have! I am Dai-Janku, the sword that cleaves evil!"1
Then Firebolt mentions Spider-Man, and he ponders this for a moment. He drops into a Spidey-esque crouch, swaying a bit from side to side, and ...well, starts to sing, voice changing between two parts.
"Hey Devo, let’s break it down." "All right." "Spiderman," "Yeah! Spiderman," "Uh-huh! Spinning webs from here to Japan." "C’mon! See him there, swingin’ higher." "Homeboy looks like Tobey Macguire!"2
And once he's finished that, he jumps over, landing on the couch in front of the TV. ---------- 1. Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2. "Peter Parker" by the great Luke Ski and Devo Spice

Ramulus scrambles to give the Junkion room to sit anywhere but on himself. He looks from Firebolt to Dai-Janku, to Makeshift, shrugging, "I'm fine with anything, really, what's the movie about?"

"Spider-man, spider-man, does whatever a spider can, spins a web any size, catches thieves just like flies, LOOK OUT! Here comes the Spider-maaaaaan~!" Firebolt sings as well as she mimics the web-slinging motion and acts as if she's caught onto something beyond the couch. She pretends to be pulled along by the 'web' and then jumps to stand next to the screen and sets up the movie.
"You can watch! And learn!" she declares as she takes up a spot on the couch, slightly closer to the remote than anyone else. "Oh, and I'm Firebolt," she waves, introducing herself to Makeshift and Dai-Janku.
