Ratchet was in the lounge, enjoying his rare opportunity to watch television. The Humans had quite a few interesting shows to watch. Ratchet's personal favorite was the medical sitcom HOUSE. He enjoyed House's attitude and humor. He laughed loudly, it echoing down the hall.

Chris sighed, he had just been released earlier that day from surgical recovery. He was still sore, but not as much as he had been. And it was partially due to the wounds he had sustained as of late. WHich included being shot in the side by Ravage.
He sighed walking into the lounge calmly, it was nighttime, so it was empty at first glance. However, he did see Ratchet relaxing on the couch. "Evenin' Uncle Ratchet." He commented, looking over and seeing House on the TV "Mind if I join you?"

"Of course youngling." Ratchet moved over making room for Chris. Being the good doctor that he was he scanned the boy checking on the injuries and so forth. He heard a quip from house that was particularly funny and laughed. "This is my favorite show. Im glad I've got it on dvd." he said.

Chris made his way over to Ratchet feeling the scan but his wounds no longer as sensative it didn't tickle. He calmly climbed up onto the couch, taking a seat next to Ratchet. He had only watched House a few times, but he didn't mind.
He didn't always get quality time with what he considered his 'family' like this. Optimus he got to more often then not, but not a lot these days. It was nice to just kick back and relax with one of the Autobots once in a while.
"Yeah, I can see where you like it. I've only seen it a few times myself." Chris replied with a shrug "It's pretty good though. I'm just more of a fan of dramas like 90210."

Ratchet chuckled. "I've got enough drama with those twins coming in and out of repair bay after having to repair them every time they get in an argument. But I hear Drama's have a pretty big following themselves." He replied. He got up and grabbed a refill of energon for himself and a soda for chris. He sat back down and handed it to the boy.

"Yeah, so do I. But 90210 is fun... Lots of High School drama that's realistic... But at the same time funny... Even though last time I watched it they're in sophmore year of College." Chris shrugged his shoulders, he took the coke "Thanks."
He opened the coke and took a drink of it calmly, relaxing. "Speaking of College, did Dad tell you I was accepted into MIT?" He questioned.

"Oh that he did. Congrats Chris thats quite an achievement. What are you planning to major in?" Suddenly he burst out laughing as House's cane snapped underneath him. "OH he deserved that.."

"Yeah it is, hopefully acceptance to Caltech is next... I'm still deciding between the two. And thanks" Chris commented, though MIT was still his first choice "Probably in Mechanics and Astronomy." He figured Ratchet would know why. In the back of his mind he still had the overwhelming desire to be like his Dad. But there was also the fact he may want to be a medic for some time like Ratchet before moving into the field as an Autobot soldier.

"Good for you Chris." Ratchet replied with a smile. "Those are two good subjects to study in, considering where you came from." Chris truly was Optimus's son. Some help in med bay would be nice. with all the newcomers flocking to the planet he was sure he had his work cut out for him.

"Yeah I figured that too. I want to be of help for a while until I'm ready to actually become a full on Autobot." Chris commented witha smile, he looked up at the elderly mech "I'm sure you wouldn't mind an apprentice when I graduate from College would you?" He questioned, though he knew the answer was likely to be 'not at all'.

"Not at all" (XD) Ratchet told the boy. truth be told, he really could use an extra pair of hands. "Smaller hands would be great for the more delicate work." He replied. Having to take whole parts out of a bot just to reach smaller parts was pain in of its self. Ratchet took a swig of energon from his flask.

Chris finnished off his coke and set the can down on a nearby table before leaning back again. That had been easier then he thought it would be. That was lucky for him, as it meant he didn't have to continously ask. "Tha'ts great." He replied simply, he watched the TV calmly "You know I never got why House is so grouchy."

"I'd figure he's not a good people person.." Ratchet replied, " Plus the fact the man takes enough medication to take down a horse." Ratchet laughed. He wondered how they would protect chris in colledge. Sure an autobot could stand guard but that was a lot of people to protect plus Chris. He wouldnt worry about it now anyway.

Chris nodded calmly, listening to Ratchet. He couldn't help but be reminded of Ratchet. In fact, as far as he could tell he was one of the few patients Ratchet was the least bit gentle with. Though that wasn't to say his surrogate Uncle was not a big teddy bear. He just didn't always have the greatest bedside manner with some of his paitents. "Everything ok Uncle Ratchet, you seem distracted." He questioned.

Ratchet fidgeted a bit before looking at Chris. The little one was perceptive, blame his father for that as well. He told Chris, "I'm probably just being an old coot but I'm worried about your safety being so far away. Sure we might be able to protect you but what if the 'cons hold the other humans hostage? What if they threaten to kill them if we dont hand you over? Now Im not doubting our friends fighting abilities, no doubt we could beat them back before it came to that. However its still a possibility, a possibility your father has considered no doubt."
