Sunstreaker and Sideswipe come across a strange datapad while pranking Prowl's quarters. Just what exactly does the datapad contain?
I'm sure everyone knows, but in case you don't… SIC second in command.
Warnings: None.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were up to their usual no good; aka pranking. Normally, they didn't go after the SIC Prowl, but, they were on a streak of slowly pranking everyone (once again) on the ark, regardless of rank.
They managed to get into Prowl's room, and were busy setting up rainbow glitter in the otherwise bare and simple quarters. Streamers, glitter, glue, and a little paint to make Prowl look pretty. Then, Sideswipe saw it. A single datapad, in a transparent yellow.
"Hey Sunny, since when do we have yellow data pads?" Sideswipe questioned his twin quietly.
"We don't. Not since shortly after the war started." His twin replied just as quiet, intent on finishing their current prank. The sooner they got out of there, the better. Sideswipe, however, was captivated by the strange datapad currently on Prowl's recharge berth.
He picked it up as Sunstreaker continued to set up the prank, and hesitantly started to turn it on. Then, they heard footsteps coming down the hall. They both froze momentarily, listening as the footsteps increased.
The two held their proverbial breath as the footsteps were in front of the door….then slowly began to fade. The two sighed, then Sunstreaker started working again. Sideswipe flicked on the datapad, to see its contents. They were simply reports of various happenings while Prowl was on duty. He flicked to the first report, only to see that the reports contained Prowl torturing mechs who messed with his quarters, or even his personal belongings that weren't in his quarters. He flicked through the other reports, but they were similar to the first, though some were more graphic than others. All of these reports, of course, never left Prowl's desk; they never got to Prime, or anyone else. Otherwise, how could Prowl still be SIC?
Sideswipe stared at the datapad horrified, then turned to Sunstreaker.
"Uuuh, Sunny, I think we better get out of here…." Sides said to his twin, and after an explanation to Sunstreaker, the two undid the prank and left at an alarmingly fast pace. While the two were hurriedly trying to undo everything and get out of there, Sideswipe's foot connected with more metal under Prowl's desk. Wait… there wasn't suppost to be anything under his desk….? He lightly kicked it again. It sounded like… He looked underneath the desk, and saw various parts of mechs underneath. Sideswipe tapped his brother and pointed underneath the desk. The two, thourghally freaked, did something they have never done. Well, at least during their time in the Autobot army. They screamed, and ran out of Prowl's quarters.
Prowl smirked while he looked on in the security room at a screen he had set up after setting up his own recorder in his quarters. Quite simply, he had planted the datapads for the two to find; everything in the datapad was a lie.
He took a recording of the happenings in his room, before adding it to a report in another datapad, a transparent yellow datapad. The theme of the entire datapad's contents? Blackmail.
He deleted the security room's copy of his quarters, and turned to leave. Now, he had to go explain to the twins what actually happened, and what would happen to the recording of their activities today should they try and prank him again…
It's my first fanfic. Please be kind and leave a non flaming review. Yes, it is short; but meh.
I might start a series of oneshots, but I'd like to see how people like this one before I start chasing plot bunnies.
