Simmons
"Simmons!" Donut shouts directly into my ear again. "This is Theta. Theta, this is Simmons!"
"Um...hey, little guy." I wave shyly. I'm too embarrassed around new people...I hope Grif won't say anything.
"So~" Donut places an arm around Caboose's hip. "You like it?!"
"Of course I do, Donut. Thanks!" I smile, and he bounces over to the corner. I try to peek around, but get yelled at saying it's surprises. He then bounces over to me with a book.
"Here you go! Your gift. Happy 27th, pal!"
I grab at the book and look over at the hand made stitching and everything. "Wow, Donut....thanks." He urges me to open it, so I do. Inside the leather bound book is a cursive writing of my name. "Wow, Donut.." Then I flip the page to see pictures he'd taken from his helmet, selfies of us together, pictures he'd taken in secret, one of me and Grif.
"It's a book of all of our adventures! So we're always close to your heart, Simmons!" He announces.
"This is so sweet, Donut....thank you." I flip over a few more pages to see the Madonna CD and Warthog pieces, and a picture of some metal shards glued all over the page.
"That's when you turned into a cyborg."
