Summary
Sari meets her first real human friend when she is in college. The girl is a misfit too, loud, adventurous, disregarding the rules that try to make her into a quiet and obedient daughter of Japanese middle-class patents. She likes loud music and bright colors and Sari, quieter, more focused, is overwhelmed at first, but soon she discovered, how much in common Miko and her have. It’s a little as if they missed each other for the last years and had now found each other to make them complete. They just fit and Sari’s insight balances Miko’s fearlessness, and they both have dreams, oh, so many dreams they share! Their dreams of meeting aliens and have space adventures are so much similar is astonishing, so they end spending lots of time creating stories just for themselves. Somehow they never stopped to believe this is within their reach and sometimes they discuss those scenarios not as fantasies, but as real plans.
Or, two queer girls of color and their plans.

Summary
This is the story of two queer women and a sentient spaceship.
Miko had a mission once - and she failed, kind of. Now she hides what the real outcome was.
Sari is curious about what she can discover and achieve.
Together they are on the way to Cybertron and back... What could possibly go wrong? Because there are secrets, aliens, politics, pirates and terrorists and neither Miko nor Sari have enough common sense to stay away from trouble.
And the ship is, well, more than meets the eye: but no one is aware of her true nature.

Summary
The music sings now about surprise and about past challenges and curiosity. Jazz didn’t plan that. It just happened, but it is like it was easy to use music to get attention from someone named after sound. Seeing Soundwave is like seeing an old friend, only they were never friends in the first place. Maybe they will never be able to be friends, and this is all right, but Jazz is genuinely happy to see Soundwave across the square, among the mecha listening to him. He is happy to change the music to address it for this one mech, an act of respect for a rival, a little challenge, maybe.
Come here, stay here, listen to me, talk to me.
And Soundwave stays.
