This is my first fan fiction so please be considerate. Thanks, Elliot
Optimus was a very serious mech nothing could change that, but he did enjoy a bit of fun at times, just not when there was a constant threat of death by decepticon. He walked into the main room of the bunker his footfalls echoing in the large space.
"Ratchet?" he questioned wondering where everyone was. It wasn't like the old medic to abandon his consoles. Then his head tilted to one side, he had heard a sound...something that sounded suspiciously like a scream. He looked around but there was no one. He frowned his optic ridges knitting together in confusion and worry that scream had sounded awfully like Miko. Without warning something hit him on the back of his head and splattered. He froze reaching up to feel the thing off his back. He turned it around in his fingers, it was a piece of torn blue colored rubber. Wet to the touch it seemed to have spilled some sort of liquid on him. Optimus hoped it was water. He turned around but could see no one. He knew better, he silently scanned for life signatures and found a whole cluster behind the various boxes of materials that were lined up by the groundbridge. Ratchet had said he was going to unpack them and get them out of the way today. Apparently the old mech had other things to do, like take place in childish games. Optimus shrugged faking that he didn't know what was going on and walked towards the ground bridge. He turned so that he wasn't facing the row of boxes and smiled a little as something moved out from behind it, something yellow. He whirled around Bumblebee beeping in surprise as his leader grabbed the thing in his hands. Optimus held the thing tossing it in the air.
"You can come out now." he said staring pointedly at the boxes. One by one, the human children, Bulkhead, Arcee and Ratchet came out from their hiding places.
"Awww! I thought we had a pretty good hiding spot!" Miko complained.
"You can't fool a Prime I guess." Jack said leaning against a box. Optimus stared at the rubber thing in his hand.
"What is this?" He asked curiosity getting the best of him. Miko sighed and pulled another one of the things from her bag.
"A water balloon, see?" she threw it at Bulkhead the balloon bursting on contact with the big mech's armor. Water dripped down his legs and Bulkhead smiled.
"It's harmless don't worry Optimus." he said chuckling as he peeled balloon pieces from his armor. Optimus blinked and looked at the water balloon in his servo. He looked up at his fellow autobots and human allies.
"My only question is why?" he said in his deep commanding voice. Ratchet cleared his throat looking mildly amused.
"Well we had been throwing it at each other, but Bee here had the idea to team up against you." Optimus turned to Bumblebee and the yellow scout's faceplates turned red. He beeped an apology quickly. Optimus listened and did something that no one had seen him do in a while, he smiled.
"It's alright Bumblebee, you were only trying to lighten the mood." He said throwing the water balloon at Ratchet. The balloon exploded on Ratchet's faceplates but he was too busy staring open mouthed at the Prime. "What? I can't have any fun?" Optimus asked his serious demeanor disappearing.
"Water Balloon fight!" Miko yelled opening her bag and letting water balloons spill out onto the floor. Ratchet nodded flipping the top off of a crate.
"I made my own during the earlier fight." He explained as he pulled out filled bot sized balloons. Bumblebee was the first to seize one his baby blue optics shining. The others followed suit and the game began.
