"WHICHEVER ONE OF YOU FRAGGING SLAG-HEADS IS SPENDING THE NEXT SEVEN VORNS IN THE BRIG!" Optimus bellowed, flinging open the doors to the cafeteria. He was painted solid purple with little hearts and flowers in light pink all over. And on his chest, in vibrant yellow, was what pissed him off the most. "Decepticons' favorite bitch, Return if found." How much more embarrassing did it get? He was the autobot leader for Primus' sake! He saw several mechs hiding their faces from him, trying not to show him they were laughing. Oh the culprit was going to suffer his wrath, possibly along with a few mostly-innocent mechs if they didn't stop laughing.
"TWINS!" A new mech stormed in, brandishing a wrench. He was a forest green color. His optics were almost black in anger as he hunted for his target with his eyes. On the mechs' own chest was "Ratchet's gone green with envy!" in a lime green color. Mechs had to continue to duck their heads to hide their snickers, no one really wanting to have a wrench to the head.
"WITWICKY! BANES!" Bumblebee came screeching into the room. He had been painted neon blue, with random paint splatters of all different colors all over. Across his chest was "Princess" in neon yellow. On his head was a shiny tiara with pink rhinestones. It had been glues on.
"LENNOX! MADSEN!" Ironhide stormed in. He was a neon pink from straight out of the crayola box. "Big Softie" had been painted across his chest in red. Ironhide had his vibrantly colored cannons fully charged. All four humans emerged at the back of the cafeteria.
"Bringing April Fools day to the base was such a bad idea." Lennox pointed out, before throwing a smoke bomb onto the ground.
"I BLAME SIDESWIPE!" Sam said before throwing his own smoke bomb.
"EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND AUTOBOT FOR THEMSELVES!" Madsen cried, releasing her own bomb.
"MISCHEIF MANAGED!" Mikaela cried before throwing her bomb. By the time the smoke cleared, the humans managed to disappear.
--- In Sideswipe's and Sunstreaker's room ---
"Where are they?" Sam growled at the twin robots. The humans needed to get off base. They needed to get off base now.
"Right here." Sideswipe said, handing a box to Sam. The four humans nodded before running off.
"Pleasure doin' business with ya!" Sunstreaker called after the humans' retreating forms. Really, everything had gone according to plan. The humans painted their guardians while they slept. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker got Red Alert's black mail files on the humans. The twins didn't get in trouble for this prank, and the humans didn't have to worry about some of the more secret things they'd done on base. Everybody won. Almost.
"So, we all agreed on my uncle's beach house, correct?" Sam asked as they all climbed into Mikaela's father's truck.
"Yup." Came three replies as Mikaela turned the truck on and got it moving away from base.
"We have everything we need. Glen set up some basic security measures to keep our guardians at bay. Our families are waiting for us." Maddie announced.
"We have a problem. Four very vibrantly colored, very angry looking, driverless vehicles are on our tail." Lennox said after a quick glance behind him.
"Mikaela, drive like all the demons in hell are after us!" Sam and Maddie squealed at the news.
"I'd rather face all the god damn demons in both hell and the pit than face four very pissed off autobots!" Mikaela answered, pushing the gas pedal to the floor. There were sounds of quiet praying in the car to any god that was listening, begging for them to be able to get away.
