It was a quiet, seeming normal day at the NEST headquarters. Sam and Mikaela were here on summer vacation, and summer it was. If anyone were actually outside to gaze down one of the many landing strips, they would have seen heat waves rising off of the ground.
In short, it was miserably hot out.
Many of the off duty 'Bots were lounging in the Rec. Room. The troublesome twins – also known as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker – were playing the brand new game console with Autobot-sized controllers while the humans and other mechs watched with amusement. At least this room had the A/C on full blast.
Earth. Who knew it could be so… temperamental? Or hot, maybe?
"No!" The red twin moaned. Everyone was silent, waiting for any other reaction to come from the loser, Sideswipe.
Boom!
Everyone jumped and several humans put a hand over their hearts. Everybody looked in the general direction of Wheeljack's lab. Then, in the distance, they heard one voice,
"Ha! Wasn't me this time!" And then, even quieter: the sound of a all-too-familiar wrench meeting metal.
Heh, I was reading up on some plot bunnies, and I just had to do a drabble on this. Not my best piece of writing, but hey – it was fun.
