I do not own Transformers. They belong to Hasbro.


It was a quiet and boring day at the base, but it wasn't boring for Bumblebee and Raf. They were watching Jack trying to finish a challenge on a racing videogame. He had to finish 60 laps on a long track so he can get a special race car. Just imagining what might happen in the game made Bumblebee and Raf not look when Jack went into the tight turns. Jack's legs were starting to go numb, his eyes were hurting from staring at the screen, his thumbs were getting sore, and he had a small headache. Bumblebee gently taps him on the head with his index finger so he would pause the game. Luckily, he did.

"What is it now? I'm trying to focus Bumblebee." He looked at the Autobot with his dry and tired looking eyes. Bumblebee pushed him off the couch with his finger on purpose, but it was for a good reason.

"I think he wants you to take a break." Raf was grinning innocently at Jack. The teen knew Raf told the mech to do this way before they started watching him play the game. Jack just laid on the floor though.

"You're forgetting my legs are numb." He gave them glares, but mostly glared at Bumblebee. After ten minutes, he got up when his legs weren't numb anymore.

"I'm going to walk around for a while. Do not reset the game." He said then started to walk so he can stretch his legs out. Raf looked at the controller, wondering if he can win the race for his friend. He picked it up and looked at the screen, hearing Bumblebee whine and begging him not to do anything with the controller. But he ignored him and pressed the start button. One little problem though, he accidentally selected restart in the game. Bumblebee facepalmed and shook his head he knew Jack was going to kill Raf for this.

"Hey, Bumblebee. How fast can you go in vehicle mode?" The young boy asked nervously after placing the controller back on the couch. The mech just shrugged, transformed into vehicle mode then let's Raf in. He quickly exits the base before Jack came back. Once the teen did, he stared at the TV screen.

"His going to pay for this." He moaned and started playing the game. As the race loaded, he realized it was going to take another hour to get to the 40th lap again.

An hour has past. Bumblebee and Raf were back and tried not to disturb Jack again after what happened earlier. It was the last and final lap, Jack was having some trouble concentrating when he went into the tight turns. Miko came and sat next to Raf. She knew Jack has been trying to win this race and noticed this could be it. They saw the finish line and were about to cheer until the unthinkable happens. The screen turned black and there was a message that said "Error. Can not read disc". Everybody stared at the screen, not believing what just happened. Jack groaned and stood up.

"That's it! I'm going home!" He dropped the controller on the couch then stormed off. Miko looked at Bumblebee and Raf. She shrugged with a grin then asked,

"So, who wants to do some real life racing?"

"You didn't tell him the system had trouble playing games this morning, didn't you?" Raf gave her a blank stare. He knew she would forget about telling Jack. But they didn't want to see why it was having trouble, so Bumblebee transforms into vehicle mode, let Miko and Raf in, then drove out of the base. They were going to go do some real racing, after all, it would be boring spending another hour doing nothing.

The End


What most gamers fear. Someone selecting restart when you're away and the game system giving you an error message when you were in gameplay.
