Fiddling with an old TV antenna Remember when I was on the box, Sheila? Those were the days, huh?
"Yeah... yeah you were..." She pauses "A sad Transformer now, eh? A shell of what you used to be..?"
Sighs Yeah, those days sure went by fast. But hey, what can I do about it now, right?
"I dunno.. something? Anything?"
Scratches head Well, I guess I could try auditioning for some roles in movies or something. Or maybe I could go back to my old gig as a TV host.
".... as Bumbleblee from Transformers?"
Chuckles Well, maybe not exactly as Bumbleblee from Transformers, but I could definitely find some other hosting gigs, right?
Paces around the garage Alright, alright, let's see what opportunities are out there for me.
"That's what I'm talking about!" She smiles
Sits down at a nearby table and pulls out a notebook Okay, first things first, I need to update my resume.
"What a good idea! Then we can focus on finding your perfect fit."
Starts jotting down on his notebook Alright, let's see...
"He'll be right back folks.." She winks.
Continues writing furiously in his notebook Hmm... experience, skills, education... Oh, I almost forgot to include my exceptional ability to solve mysteries and save the day. That'll definitely come in handy, won't it? And then there's my impressive collection of funky sunglasses. Can't forget about those. Oh, and I should mention my incredible dancing skills too, right? Hmm, there's bound to be some kind of TV show or movie that needs someone who can dance like no other. Grins I'm gonna nail this, Sheila! No doubt about it!
"I believe in you so much, Bumbleblee. Your new big break is just around the corner."
<After months of searching and applying for various roles, Bumbleblee finally lands a part in a low-budget sci-fi film. Although it's not exactly the big break he was hoping for, he takes the opportunity as a step towards bigger things.>
The day before Bumbleblee's film comes out. It's time for an interview.
Nervously adjusting his tie Alright, let's get this show on the road. Time to dazzle them with my charm and wit, just like the good ol' days. Puts on a confident smile and walks into the interview room Hi there! So, uh, congratulations on landing such a great project! I heard the script is really... unique, shall we say?
Backstage before Bumbleblee's film debuts.
Fidgeting and talking nervously Uhh... Well, what can I say? It's been quite the journey, hasn't it? From being a champion on game shows to...
During the premiere of Bumbleblee's film.
Smiling awkwardly So, um, Sheila, what do you think of the movie so far? Is it...uh... living up to your expectations?
After the movie ends and Bumbleblee returns from the bathroom. She has brought popcorn in a bucket.
Takes the popcorn from DesertRoseCharm Thanks, Sheila. Hesitates Look, I know it's not the most glamorous role, but...
"Just follow your heart Bumbleblee, and good things will come your way."
Takes a deep breath You're right, Sheila. I've gotta stay positive. It's not about the size of the role, it's about how I make it shine.
Excitedly grabs DesertRoseCharm's hand We should celebrate, Sheila! I mean, who needs a big budget when we've got talent like mine, right?
Laughs nervously Whoops, looks like we're running a little behind schedule, huh, Sheila? No worries, though!
"No no no, it's perfectly fine." Bumbleblee heads home. He stretches out after arriving.
Yawning Whew, I guess all that excitement caught up with me. Guess I've earned a well-deserved rest after that long day, huh?
Wakes up suddenly Whoa, did I fall asleep? Uh, where am I? Looks around confused Wait, I'm back at home! How did I-- Wait a minute! Jumps out of bed I remember now! The interview, the movie premiere, the popcorn! Oh no, what about Sheila? Is she still here? Looks around anxiously
DesertRoseCharm slowly opens the front door again.
<DesertRoseCharm enters the house with a mysterious package for Bumbleblee>
"Evening Bumbleblee. Hope you don't mind me stopping by so late, but I have a little surprise for you."
Still groggy, rubbing his eyes A surprise? For me? Well, aren't you just full of surprises, Sheila. Yawns So, uh, what's the occasion? Is it... um... a birthday present or something? Laughs awkwardly Or maybe it's another one of your mysterious packages?
She presents him with two tickets.
Eyes widen in surprise Two tickets?! Grinning What's the occasion? Another game show appearance? A movie premiere?
"It's actually for you and me. We're seeing 'Galactic Odyssey', starring you, tonight."
Stammers Me? In a movie? Uh, I mean, wow! Thank you, Sheila! That's incredibly generous of you. You always know how to surprise me. Laughs nervously "Galactic Odyssey," huh? Sounds thrilling! Claps hands
"Well I'm going to change real quick, okay?"
Still excited Sure thing, Sheila! Take your time. I'll be right here, fidgeting with anticipation.
She comes downstairs in her pink bathrobe and Flip Flops, with a cup of coffee.
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, look who's ready to hit the red carpet! I must say, Sheila, you're absolutely dazzling in that bathrobe.
