Takes place on Day 11
Firebolt sighed in content as she backed up into the little cave of trees she had used to make her small little home outside of the action and in the forest nearby. Nobody had found it thus far, it seemed, so everything was all right. There were various pieces of junk she had found decorating the little area, which made it rather homey. Nothing resembled a home that she had back on Earth though, but she was making it work.
Her engine hummed in content as she listened to some music, thinking of what had happened since she appeared on this random planet. Quite a lot that she had dodged. She had yet to really 'make friends' with somebody though. She played an episode of 'Friends' that she had stored.
"Well, if the odds are that people like that end up together, I have to be BOUND to make a friend, right?" she said. She shrugged and went back to playing music, pumping it through her speakers, and watching the clouds go by above through the gaps in the trees.

Spy Shot has no idea where he is going. This does not mean he is lost, however, as he is perfectly aware of where he has been, and of where he is in relation to where he has been. He simply does not have a particular location in mind that he is intent on going to beyond where he has not been, and so, having no idea where he is going is exactly where he wants to be.
The little camera-bot jogs tirelessly through the underbrush, feeling energized by the light filtering down through the canopy of leaves above. His head swivels about, taking in as much of his surroundings as possible and committing them to memory. A small part of his mind is also keeping track of the various sounds filling the forest, primed to detect potential threats. So it is that he hears someone speaking out loud and comes to a stop.
Tilting his head, Spy Shot considers the voice and decides that it is not one he has heard before. Always interested in meeting new Transformers, he begins lightly strobing his flash and heads towards the speaker.

Something entering her domain is easily noticed, especially when there's nothing else moving around except for the leaves. Firebolt sits still, looking down at the tiny bot that is wandering around the things she has collected and then revs her engines as loud as she can.
"OI!" She called out. "What're you and why'd ya come here?"

Spy Shot stops jogging and shuts off his flash now that he's been noticed. Staring at Firebolt, he tilts his head, face expressionless. Then he raises an arm and waves, before stating, "I am a camera."
While the answer to the first question is obvious, the second takes more consideration. Which 'here' does she mean? Here, as in this precise location? Here, as in this forest? Here, as in this planet? Each possibility requires a very different answer, and some of them have several answers. He supposes that he could just answer all the possibilities... or he could ask for clarification.
Nodding in satisfaction with his solution, Spy Shot says, "Define 'here'."

The Ferrari inched forward, eying him, "Camera, wow they make mini bots now?" she said. She glanced around and then transformed and leaned down as far as she could, ending up laying on her belly to nearly stick her face down onto the ground.
"You're teeny weeny itsy bitsy," she said. "And here is where I come to relax. My home away from home... Which is away from real home." she extended her finger as to lightly poke him if at all possible. "I'm Firebolt. What's your name, lil man?"

Spy Shot's little head tilts the other way. "Humans make cameras. Cubes make mini bots."
He listens to her explanation of 'here', and finally answers her original question, "I came here because I heard you."
"I am labeled Spy Shot 6," he continues, not bothered in the least by being poked. He does, however, attempt to grab onto Firebolt's poking finger and climb on top of her hand. "I am also called 'little bit', 'razzle-dazzler', and 'Flashy'. I do not believe I am a man."

"Ah yes... Humans. Make some nice junk that I liked. Car washes were niiiiice..." She trailed off and then let him climb up onto her hand. "You are still very tiny, and fine. You're not a lil man. You're a lil DUDE!" She brings her hand up close to her face, staring at him in interest.
"But it's not a label, lil dude, it's your name. Sure, if you want to be technical, but isn't that a great thing to have, a name that individualizes yourself?" she reached out with her other hand, extending her finger to pat him on the head. She paused for a few moments, thinking all philosophical-like, but then shook her head.
"Well, welcome to my lil' humble home anyway, Spy Shot 6. Got any requests for music?" She beamed.

While Firebolt talks, Spy Shot simply listens and examines her face. He is not the most conversational of bots after all, mostly speaking when questioned. Though speaking of questions he has just been posed one. Great to have a name that individualizes himself? But doesn't his... self individualize him? He doesn't know about Firebolt, but he's never met any other small, transforming cameras brought to life by the Allspark. On the other hand, having a name does have it's uses.
"Having a name is useful," he admits. "It makes it easier to know if someone is speaking to you."
After receiving a pat on the head, he stretches out in an attempt to pat his companion's face in turn. "I have no requests." Music is one of those things Spy Shot doesn't really get.

Well, there's one form of individualization. She laughs again and is about to say something when she remains very still as he reaches out to touch her face. It's almost as if she's afraid of startling the little camera-bot. It gives her a warm fuzzy feeling inside, despite not truly being able to have warm fuzzy feelings. Her engine rumbles in a happy way, as well as her ponytails lifting up slightly.
"You, lil dude, I like you," she says. She carefully lifts him up to sit on her head, and then leans on her hands, swinging her legs back and forth behind her. She arbitrarily plays random music then, if there are no real requests beyond her own. "You're tiny and curious too. Is it because you're tiny that you're curious so much?" she muses out loud.

Spy Shot settles on Firebolt's head, peering about curiously.
"I like you, too," he says, and it's true enough, though he doesn't exactly have high qualifications for liking people. Just don't try to kill him, don't be Megatron, and talk to him.
Lying down on his belly he peeks down at Firebolt's face. "I am my size because I am a camera, and cameras are made for looking at things. I like to look at things, especially if they are new. I believe I am curious because I am a camera."

Firebolt's optics go cross-eyed (cross-opticed?) as she looks up at the peeking Spy Shot. "Where I came from, no Transformers were cameras," she said. "Actually, most of them were all very large. I feel small when looking at them. Small... Lonely... Ugh! I gotta stop thinking like that." She wanted to shake her head but stopped herself just before doing so.
"Well, I've been asking question question, question. What about you, do you have questions?" she asked, still staring cross-opticed up at him.

Again, the camera-bot's little head tilts. He doesn't really get being lonely at all, let alone being lonely as a result of being small. He was always a camera alone amongst hostile organisms, with Megatron frozen and unsettling, and all the others like him being quickly disposed of after birth. It never bothered him, though, being perfectly content to run, and hide, and learn by himself.
And there goes someone asking him if he has any questions again. Spy Shot decides give Firebolt a similar response to the one he gave Kup. "What questions can you answer?"

"Well I can answer questions about music, or tv, or stuff about Earth that I was from, and well... Nothing fancy," she explained. "I tried to make this lil place here look like home, but well. I don't think I did so well. I tried though, huh?"
She looked around, and then back up at the little camera-bot. "We should 'splore. Wanna explore the forest together, we can have WACKY ADVENTURES and maybe take pictures, and and, you can ride on my head cos that's your spot. Maybe my shoulder. You just gotta watch out for my ponytails. If I hear something they'll be moving."

Spy Shot doesn't think he has any questions about those subjects at the moment, and he simply shrugs at Firebolt's finishing question. How is he supposed to know if she tried? He wasn't here to watch when she decorating.
He sits upright at the mention of exploring, though. "I like exploring," he says. "I want to go look at new things."

"ADVENTURE!!!" She clambered up, making sure to keep her head semi-steady as not let Spy Shot fall off. She turned and then started walking deeper into the forest, humming all the while.
"I've wandered in here before, and saw some cool looking trees, and stuff, but nothing really super duper notable," she explained as she walked. "But people always find things when they go with others."
ooc: Anyone is free to be stumbled upon.
