A/N: Sorry, I didn't want to lose this plot bunny so I decided to do this before I wrote the second chapter of psychotic Ratchet story ^_^ sorry to hold you in suspense XP
I don't own Transformers: Prime
"And what does this do, Ratchet?" asked Miko. "And what does that button do?" Ratchet was at his wits end. Miko had been bugging him all day while he was trying to get work done. "Miko, please! Can't you see I'm working here?!" Miko was silenced for a moment before she spoke again, "Hey, what does that weird blinky thing do?" Ratchet started growling, so she scampered out of the room. "Geez, someone's uptight," she mumbled angrily. Optimus, who was working on decoding some 'Con files on the computer smiled.
Ratchet was working along, building something he had seen before on the Cybertron blueprint database (he didn't really know what it was, but he was experimenting, or so he kept telling himself). Just then he realized he had forgotten his laser cutter, so he headed into the back room. Miko, deciding she could snoop climbed up on his control panel. "Hmmm," she said, wondering which to press first. "Miko! Don't touch anything!" yelled Ratchet. Miko suddenly lost her footing and fell down on a button behind her. Ratchet gasped, "No!" he yelled.
Behind them, a portal appeared. Suddenly, Ratchet jerked back and flew into it, screaming. Miko stood there with her mouth wide open. Optimus was running toward the portal yelling, "Ratchet no!" He tried to get back once he realized he was getting sucked into it, too, but his pedes started scraping on the floor, and soon he was flying into the black abyss of nothingness.
...
The first thing Ratchet thought was ow. He felt like he had just been pulled apart circuit by circuit, then put back together in a different shape. He finally found the strength to open his eyes, and realized someone's elbow was right in his face. He heard a grunt next to him, and painfully turned his head. "Optimus," he muttered. Optimus had landed right next to him. Landed where? thought Ratchet.
He looked around, and saw that he was at base. Huh? We just went through that portal... he thought. Miko was looking at them, with this weird expression on her face, like she was about to laugh but trying to keep it in. "What's so funny?" he managed. Then he realized the distance from the floor to the controls. "Why does everything look bigger?" he asked. Then he looked at Optimus, and gasped in surprise. "O..Optimus! You're..." Ratchet looked at himself, and gasped again.
"We're...sparklings!" He started panicking, breathing in and out frantically. "Miko I am going to kill you!" he yelled. He ran up to the controls, but wasn't tall enough to reach the top where Miko stood snickering. Just then Smokescreen walked in. "Primus," said Ratchet. Smokescreen stared at them, then burst out laughing. "You, you guys are so cute! You're sparklings! Awww Ratchet! Look at you guys!" Ratchet was giving him the 'Deadly Gaze'.
"Just. Get. Me. Back. To. Normal!" Even Optimus shrank back at Ratchet's yell. "For Primus' sake just stop staring at me and do something before I turn you into scrap metal then sell you to Megatron!" Smokescreen's optics got huge and he ran out of the room. "Uh...Ratchet?" stammered Optimus.
"What," it was more of a statement than question. "Uh, you may want to quiet down, Ratchet. I don't think Smokescreen deserves a chastisement that-" Optimus grimaced and rubbed his audio receptors, "Loud," Ratchet humphed. "Whatever. Just make me old again!"
A/N: So, how do you all like the first chapter? I hope you all enjoyed it, but if you didn't tell me why because I have plenty of room for improvement ^_^ Also, I will be posting the second chapter to the crazy Ratchet story soon, sorry I haven't had very much time to write anything. I've missed this ;) Yes, I know, Ratchet isn't that old, but whatever lol I made it sound like it
