Hey folks this little doodad of a story came to me and has stuck with me all day. It all started when I watched a clip from Madagascar 3 on then the story kinda evolved from there. So sit back enjoy and no flam-age.
Disclaimer: I own nothing from Transformers prime nor Madagascar 3
Fever
Ch.1 Warning signs
Jasper, NV is known to be hot all year round with a slight change of upper 70's, lower 80's temperatures in the fall and winter. Surprisingly this November it has been in the 50's for the past two weeks bringing about some nasty colds and flu's amongst the populous, some of the worst were amongst the high school students particularly three of the 5 human members of team prime.
[Esquivel Residence]
*Retching noises*
A teenage girl comes downstairs holding a pale looking kinda green herself as she comes into the kitchen.
"He barfed again, his temperature is 101.4F"
"I'll call the school and let them know that he will be out." said Mrs. Esquivel
[Darby Residence]
*Digital Thermometer beeps*
*sigh* "Your not going to school today Jack, your temperatures far too high."
"But mom, I have a group project due today."
"No buts, Jack. I'll let Arcee know that you won't be going in."
[School]
"Miko you really should of stayed home today, you look like hell." said Sapphire
*Coughs* "We have that group project in Geography today, that's one class that I'm actually doing well in."
"But you look like you're about ready to fall over." said Opal
"I'll be fine besides my host parents are out of town right now, so I'm better off at school anyway. Besides, after what happened with my science project. i need to redeem myself anyway."
*Phone beeps*
Opal looks at her phone and finds a text from Jack.
"That was Jack, both he and Raf are out sick. That takes out part of our group. I don't think that anybody will be giving any reports."
"Yeah seeing as half the school is out because of this." said Sapphire
*Coughs Roughly* "This is a first, we get to relax for an entire day."
[Intercom feedback]
"Attention students, due to the severe decline in attendance today classes are canceled. Please exit the building in an orderly manner, that is all." said the Principle
"Sweet, now we can hang out at the base all day." said Miko before going into a coughing fit
"Yeah, so you can cough all over the place and get the Autobots sick." said Sapphire
"I don't think they can catch colds from humans." said Opal
"I just need to get some cough drops from the nurse before we head over." said Miko as she headed to the office
Shaking her head Sapphire takes out her phone
"What did happen with Miko's Science project?" asked Opal
"Miko said that Ratchet took over their projects, she mentioned that Jack and Raf's project practically wrecked half the school. Her's was a model of Cybertron and it's two moons." explained Sapphire
"So I'm guessing all 3 failed, right?"
"No A's for effort, C's for execution."
"Well a solid B's good."
She dials the number for the base.
[Base]
Ratchet was at his work station looking over the diagnostic results of Bumblebee's repaired T-cog when sapphire's call came through.
"Hey Ratchet, how's everything?"
"Isn't it during school hours?" he asked gruffly
"Whoa somebody is PMS-y, is bulkhead there?"
"No he's on a survey mission with Arcee seeing as Jack is out sick from school and Bumblebee is with Optimus."
"Well seeing as we were dismissed from school due to a good majority being out sick we were wondering if we can chill there until later."
"Well, it's not going to be much fun without them around…" Ratchet started
Noting the sarcasm in his voice, she knew exactly what to say.
"Aww sounds like somebody is not feeling loved."
"I beg your pardon?"
"You feel ignored, like no one appreciates you. Well don't worry Ratchet we love you very much."
"Oh…well I don't know what to say." Ratchet blushed
*Cough Cough*
"Miko did the nurse give you cough drops?" Ratchet overheard
'Cough drops?'
"Yeah, but it's not really working."
"Are you three alone?"
"Yeah, we're in the back of the school."
"Stand by for a ground bridge."
"Thanks, Ratchet."
Out of nowhere a swirling vortex of green appeared and the girls went through and found themselves at the Autobot base.
"Is everything alright?" asked Ratchet stepping away from the controls
"I just need to lie down for a bit, I got a huge headache." said Miko heading for the human living area.
Ratchet looks at the twins worried slightly.
"She's not feeling well but won't fess up." said Opal
"Keep a close watch on her."
"Will do Ratch."
The twins head over to the living area as Miko lies down on the couch to rest.
About an hour later Sapphire and Opal were engrossed in their sketching while Ratchet was tinkering away at something when Miko gets up and heads to the stairs.
"Hey what's up?" asked Sapphire
"Bathroom break"
"Ok"
Miko heads passed Ratchet and leaves the main area to go to the bathroom. Through winding halls she reaches her destination, just in time cause what little breakfast she ate came back up with a splash.
Back in the main room Ratchet was wondering what was taking Miko so long to come back.
"I hope Miko is alright, she didn't seem like herself."
"She's probably barfing right now." said Sapphire
"What?"
"Making street pizza, Calling Hurl, Technicolor yawn" added Opal
"Shouting groceries?" added Sapphire
"What in the all-spark are you talking about?"
"Evacuating ones stomach contents into the toilet through the mouth."
"Oh well why didn't you just say that?"
"We figured you've been on earth long enough to understand the lingo." said Opal
Miko was washing her face off after throwing up and was coming out the bathroom when out the corner of her eye she saw a glowing butterfly fluttering down the hallway.
"A butterfly, how did that get in here?" she followed it around the corner to find nothing there. "Where did it go?"
Suddenly she felt a wave of dizziness rush over her and she leaned against the wall for support. Then she saw it again fluttering around the hall. She pushes herself off the wall to follow it to find a bunch fluttering, surrounding her. She backs into the wall as they glow brighter and start flying around faster engulfing her vision. She covers her face with her hands and takes deep breaths when she uncovers her eyes she finds that she's no longer in the base but in a field of wild flowers on a bright clear day but that was not what worried her seeing Knockout relaxing smelling a flower that was in his metal fingers in the field is what got her attention.
"Knockout?"
At the mention of his name he looks at her and smiles.
"Ah Miko, you've finally arrived."
A/N: Was gonna make this a one shot but getting close to bed time and got an early morning tomorrow. So to be continued.
