Chapter 6 by Halo423

What's next?

A different kind of news coverage

As Charlie huddled behind the parked cars, she realized the urgency of finding something to shield herself from prying eyes. With a quick glance around, her eyes landed on a stack of discarded newspapers lying on the sidewalk nearby. A relieved grin flickered across Charlie's face as she darted towards the newspaper. with swift movements, she scooped up a handful of papers, folding and tucking them around her body in an attempt to fashion makeshift shorts and top. Though far from perfect, the crumpled and folded pages provided a minimal level of coverage, ensuring she was no longer fully exposed. Charlie adjusted the newspapers as best she could, using them as a temporary substitute for proper attire. "**** times call for **** measures," she muttered, her voice laced with determination and a touch of amusement. "Those origami books I read finally come in handy."

With her makeshift clothes in place, Charlie cautiously ventured out from behind the parked cars, sneaking through the surrounding environment as best she could. Passersby gave her curious glances, but the attention was far less invasive than the earlier predicament she had escaped. As they moved through the streets, their newspaper garments rustled and fluttered in the breeze, drawing a mix of puzzled and amused looks from onlookers. Charlie couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation, finding solace in the fact that she had successfully evaded the Decepticons, even if it meant resorting to unconventional fashion choices.

Their immediate concern, however, remained getting back home. Clad in her makeshift newspaper attire, Charlie knew she had to strategize, Will their newspaper clothing be enough to allow her to navigate the city without any more embarrassment?
