[But he doesn't force Billy to be a part of the reunion; he'll let the pets do it for him, if they're not turned off by the possession Billy still has. Teddy has missed them terribly though, and felt pretty awful for leaving them there in favor of being with Billy. He could've easily brought them to the clinic, let them be there for all of their sakes...
It's passed now, and that's not something he should be thinking about. They're here, and Teddy's already got a smile on his face when he unlocks the door and pushes it open, and he only barely gets it open when a large golden retriever wriggles through the space and is on him in an instant, weaving in and out of his legs and leaping up on him and kissing whatever part he can reach, whines and cries coming out in a constant stream.
The fake had no real smell. It wasn't Teddy, and that made Optimus Prime not want to be near it. Both he and Misty were wary of it and mostly struck out on their own, relying on neighbors who weren't affected or their own resources. For the past two weeks, Kate had taken care of them, something they were relieved to find. Kate was like an aunt, after all.
But now, Teddy's back, the real, human Teddy with a smell completely unlike Billy's, and Optimus can't seem to get off of him. He's so happy, and it makes Teddy kneel down as much as he can and wrap his arms around him, Optimus squirming in his grip to get a good go at his face.]
Ha ha, hey boy! Oh man, I've missed you too - H-Hey! [That is a really squirmy dog, man.
But at one point, he squirms so much that Optimus bails from Teddy's hold, and he actually leaps up on Billy's legs, too. He smells relatively normal, too, with a bit of the weird magic left over, but the normalness is enough to be just as happy that his papa is back, too. He goes back to Teddy soon enough, maybe with the thought that Misty, lingering in the doorway because that is a hyperactive big dog and she is a little cat who'd get trampled if she got in the way, might join in.]
