[challenge] Sentence Prompt

[ajremix]

Back from a nice vacation and in the process of trying to get back into my daily routine- which will start tomorrow with a prompt visit to the grocery store...

So, as I resettle we're going to do another challenge with a twist. Pick a series from the list:

Transformers
MLP: Friendship is Magic
Mass Effect
JLI
Bat-family
Birds of Prey
Young Justice (comics)
General DCU
Ultimate Spider-Man
Slam Dunk
One Piece
Invader Zim
Fullmetal Alchemist
Red vs Blue
Discworld
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Skip Tracers
human!Wreckers

Series only, please NO CHARACTERS. This is will probably be challenging enough as it.

Pick up a book- preferably the closest one on hand. Go to page 42 and type the 6th sentence. I'll have to make a drabble in your chosen series that uses that sentence.

Let's see how long it takes me to rue this challenge.

It's only supposed to be one sentence. This looks like a small paragraph.

Sorry for the delay- grocery shopping.

Wreckers on a whole were not prone to sentimentality or being over-cautious. They did, however, tend to get stupidly overprotective whenever Xantium had to go in for repairs and overhauls. Especially if the other Wreckers had to leave her behind for a mission.

The mechs were waiting for their temporary shuttle in a cargo hold where there happened to be some rewiring occurring. The repair bots had a good portion of the bulkhead off, circuits and wire exposed and spilling out while the Wreckers kept giving them warning glances.

Whirl in particular was stewing from under the catwalk, looking like he was one microklik away from going up there and kicking the bots out. Something sparked loudly from the exposed area. "Take it up easy up there, Primus dammit! You're hurting her."

One of the bots looked down and said in exasperation, "Gimme a break- she can't even feel this!"

A crane arm swooped down from the ceiling and neatly plucked the tool from the bot's grasp. It wagged disapprovingly.

The Wreckers below grinned nastily, "Yeah- I'll bet."
