Page 4: A Celebration of Bonds

The sun had just begun to set over Neo-Tokyo, casting long shadows and painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The house buzzed with excitement as Miku, Soundwave, J, and Fluttershy prepared for their Fourth of July celebration, which they humorously dubbed "Unity Day" to fit their unique blend of backgrounds. The goal was to introduce their friends to their partners and celebrate the bonds they had formed.

Miku flitted around the kitchen, her turquoise hair tied back in a ponytail as she arranged snacks and drinks. Fluttershy was in the living room, placing small vases of flowers on tables and ensuring the ambiance was warm and welcoming. Soundwave and J worked together to set up the sound system and lighting, a task that had become an enjoyable collaboration between them.

As the first guests arrived, the atmosphere grew livelier. Soundwave greeted Starscream, his fellow Decepticon, who strutted in with his usual flair. "Starscream, welcome," Soundwave said with a nod.

Starscream smirked, glancing around the house. "Well, well, Soundwave. You've certainly outdone yourself. This place is... quaint."

J opened the door next, letting in Uzi, a fellow Worker Drone. Uzi’s sharp eyes scanned the room with curiosity. "Hey, J. Nice place you’ve got here."

J grinned. "Thanks, Uzi. Come in and make yourself at home."

Miku was thrilled to see her fellow Vocaloid, Rin, arrive. "Rin! I'm so glad you could make it!" Miku exclaimed, pulling her into a hug.

Rin smiled brightly. "Of course, Miku. I wouldn’t miss it for the world."

Finally, Fluttershy welcomed Rainbow Dash, whose vibrant mane and energetic presence lit up the room. "Rainbow Dash, it’s so good to see you!"
