Whee~ I should be finishing so many other stories before I start a new one, but who cares? NOT THIS GIRL.

I was originally going to do a full story with this idea, because I just love the idea of the Transformers being shrunk down into toys and a human has to keep the peace. It hasn't been done so often as to become boring! Each story of the idea I read offers a different perspective on it, with soooo much more hilarity.

But I figured, hey - nobody's done a rule book for the idea yet! And I like being unique, unique is my middle name. (Not really, but I'm not telling y'all that.)

So yes, my OC's name is Tally. She's an artist, does commissions for a living, and was surprisingly a lot more okay with the whole "living TF toys" arrangement than she probably should have been. She's usually very mellow, but somebody's got to lay down the law!

SEND IN YOUR RULES, PEOPLE! I happily accept suggestions, and would prefer it. I can't do this all myself - my brain can't handle that much thinking!

I hope you enjoy the first chapter!

1. Autobots, your base can stay in the cupboard. Just know that if you get between me and my cereal, I can't be held responsible for your safety.

(Don't get me wrong, I like it when I can roll out of bed and just get handed a bowl and a cup.)

(Thanks go mostly to Bumblebee and Mirage.)

(But Red Alert, well, he's gotta learn that he can't scream every time I open the door.)

(Also, he really shouldn't stand in front of my Cocoa Puffs.)

(The last time he did, I simply smacked him out of the way.)

(Let's say I was in a bad mood and needed my chocolate.)

(He did a faceplant on the counter and started crying.)

(He did this the entire time while I was eating, almost for a whole fifteen minutes.)

(The only thing that finally shut him up was my threat to smite him with a coffee flood.)

(Red Alert, I feel bad about that, but next time, just stay in your little corner.)

2. Decepticons, most of you are pretty cool, and okay in my book. But seriously, your base? It can't stay in my bathtub.

(Look, I understand that they were in the house first.)

(I get that. I respect it.)

(But they set up their base where I'm supposed to wash myself.)

(I tried explaining to them the full implications of what would happen if they didn't haul their little afts out of there.)

(You can't reason with them, especially since the culmination of my argument pretty much came down to:)

"Um, if you guys don't move, I won't be able to shower. And, you know... I'll smell. Really bad."

(Finally, I decided to scare them into moving their operation.)

(I got naked, wrapped a towel tightly around myself, and leaned down to turn on the water.)

(Most of them fled at the mere sight of me turning a knob because they had no idea what it would do, but Megatron, Soundwave, and the Cassettes stood their tiny ground.)

(They weren't afraid of any humans, but they were smart enough to abandon ship after I nearly drowned them like a couple of army men.)

(Thankfully they all got my message, but they still had to be urged out of the actual bathroom.)

"Go on, get going, all of you!"

(I actually had to kick a very persistent Sunstorm out the door with the side of my foot.)

"That means you too!"

"You're still the most beautiful creature on this or any planet and-"

(I slammed the door very nearly on his hand.)

"And stay out, you ass-kissing little Oompa Loompa!"

3. Living room is neutral territory, no exceptions.

(For reasons I'll never know, a lot of my little robo-buddies don't seem to like this rule.)

(I've caught Frenzy and Rumble trying to gun down Skids and Mudflap on the windowsill, until someone got the bright idea to jump off.)

(Then another time, it was Swoop dive-bombing Skywarp, who apparently was too scared to remember he could warp... and fly.)

(The last straw was when I saw Lugnut chasing a terrified Red Alert around the TV, while Jetfire and Jetstorm had combined into Safeguard to fire shots at the fanboy.)

(Which of course only served to make Red Alert glitch even further.)

"YOUR AIM'S BAD, YOU'RE GONNA SHOOT ME!"

(So clearly it was time to set and enforce a punishment for the living room not being treated as neutral.)

(Anybot caught fighting in the living room, I threatened to stick them in the freezer for an hour.)

(So far, everyone has basically obeyed this after having to carry it out once on Grimlock.)

(Except for one mech.)

(I'm starting to think I'll need to come up with a different punishment just for Blitzwing.)

(I think his Random side actually likes it in the freezer.)

(Damn crazy triple-changers.)

4. If I see Starscream bumming the heels off my "art doll" Barbies, the best thing to do is just walk away and try to forget about it.

(After overdosing just a LITTLE too much on Transformers: Prime, I realized the secret to TFP Starscream's sexiness.)

(His heels.)

(Unfortunately, the Starscream that lives in the house isn't from TFP, so I just decided to abandon the notion of him ever having heels.)

(Now, I have a couple of Barbie dolls, old one from when I was little, that I use to try out new art techniques.)

(Mostly I use them on their clothes, but body art is cool sometimes too.)

(One day, I went to go find my Barbies, which I was pretty sure were in my closet.)

(I opened the door halfway, only to see my Starscream sitting in the corner, prying the high heels off one of my Barbie dolls.)

(They were pink heels, and... I didn't really know what he wanted to do with them.)

(Nor did I want to know.)

(So I just walked away.)

(He still has no clue that someone saw that.)

5. Wheeljack + toaster/microwave/VCR/anything electronic = not a good idea.

(You would think this one would go without saying, wouldn't you?)

(Obviously not, since I'm saying it for the millionth time.)

(Wheeljack needs to stay away from anything that be taken apart and blown up.)

(Which, if he gets his servos on it, is pretty much anything.)

(He tried to cook a block of ramen in my toaster.)

(He wanted to microwave my lava lamp, but since I wouldn't let him do that, he settled for microwaving a carton of chocolate marshmallow ice cream.)

(When I banned him from the kitchen, that was when he got hostile.)

(I caught him shoving one of Soundwave's Cassettes in my VCR.)

(The thing exploded. Violently.)

(I was very annoyed because I had to fix Rumble.)

(But I was more annoyed because it seemed that Wheeljack hadn't been anywhere near the blast.)

(It is HIS fault that now I can't make toast, TV dinners, or watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.)

(I don't want him to be seriously injured or anything, but it would have been nice for him to feel the backlash of all the crazy things he does.)

(Next time he does something like this, I shove him in the VCR.)

Well, looks like that's all the rules for now. I'll probably post five a chapter like I usually do, because five seems like a good, sane number to use for increments.

I saw a handy little chart for who came from where in AndromedaAI's story "Short Stuff" (yes, go read that by the way, it's hilarious), and I thought that was a good idea, so here you go! It doesn't have everyone, but I'll add more later because I don't want this being a whole big thing, lol.

Optimus = Bayverse

Bumblebee = Animated

Prowl = Animated

Wheeljack = mixture of G-1 and Animated

Red Alert = G-1

Megatron = Animated

Skids and Mudflap = Bayverse

Soundwave = Prime

Cassettes = G-1

Starscream = Animated

Whew! What a list, looks like that's it for now.

Don't forget to send in your suggestions, and I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of what I hope to be many!

Thankies for reading! ^^
