Sam sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he exited the hanger and into the sunshine. He spotted Oscar sitting on his own on a bench reading some stapled papers and headed over, wondering what they were.
"Hey Oscar!" he called and the nine year old jumped slightly before relaxing again, "Whach'a got there?"
"The rules," the twelve year old replied and Sam's brows frowned in confusion.
"You mean Prowl's Base rules?" his eyes widened suddenly, "he didn't add more did he?"
"No, these are our rules," the nine year old smirked slightly, "Jessie and Jacky call it the survival guide."
"Leeme seeā¦" Sam sat down next to him on the bench and started to read the first few pages of rules.
THE TECHNO-ORGANIC'S GUIDE TO NEST BASE
By all current techno organics
(Billy, Bella, Jessie, Jacky, Max, Charlie, Maria, Anna, Justin, Lizzy)
1: Hide all sweats from Ratchet the Hatchet.
(He caught Charlie eating a cookie and called iron hide for help)
(They smacked the cookie out of his hand and whisked him off t o med bay)
(The look on Charlie's face when they charged at him)
(PRICELESS!)
2: Same goes for fizzy drinks
(Jessie inhaled some coke when he started to laugh at some joke his brother told him)
(He yelled the exact words "shit! It burns!)
(Wheeljack just had to be there to claim that fizzy drinks contained acid)
(Ratchet panicked)
(Kept them in the med bay for a week)
3; In fact anything unhealthy!
(Ratchet will burn it!)
(Literally!)
4:Don't steal Ratchet's wrenches
(He will go on a rampage)
(And then become all moody because he can't find them)
5:Don't hide Ratchet's wrenches in the rafters.
(He will not find them there)
6:If it's time for your check up with Ratchet, don't bunk it!
(Will, Epps, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, skids, Mudflap)
(He will hunt you down)
(And hit you)
(With a wrench)
7: On a Monday evening, do not under any circumstances, change the channel!
(Ratchet loves his Grey's anatomy)
(And his House)
8: When walking down the hallways, don't suddenly laugh for no reason.
(It annoys the bots)
(And makes them think your up to some thing)
(Ratchet will eventually drag you to the med bay for a mental test)
9: If you value your life, do not call Ratchet the Hatchet
(How do you think he got the name in the first place?)
10: Do not let Ratchet watch the Discovery channel, ever!
(Sideswipe and Sunstreaker wanted us to distract ratchet so she could repaint his quarters as a prank)
(So we told him about the different deadly deases that we can get out of nowhere)
(He didn't believe us until we showed him the channel)
(And then it took Optimus two hours to convince him that we weren't going to catch some deadly deases after he had rounded all the humans, techno-organics included and locked them in the med bay)
(We have more check ups now)
(Nobody's happy)
11: do not let Red-Alert watch the Grudge.
(Billy's cell phone ring tone was the grudge noise)
(We were playing hide and seek out of pure boredom)
(He was hiding under Red's desk without said 'bot knowing)
(When Sam called him)
(Didn't end well)
12: Do not let Wheeljack watch Phineas and Ferb.
(He tried to build his own gelatine monster for some reason)
(It blew up)
(And got into the girls' hair)
(He's still hiding from us)
13: Don't let any of the Autobots watch '1000 ways to die'
(All carrots have disappeared off base)
(Carrots are no longer allowed on base)
(Justin's electronic chessboard went missing)
(He's still mopey about it)
14: Do not let Ironhide watch the movie the punisher
(He scares us sometimes with this wicked grin he wears afterwards)
(Also its scary how much he likes's it)
(We dread the day he watches Doomsday)
15: Do not let Red alert watch any of the following movies:
The Grudge (already captioned it)
The ring (this is cause of a prank we pulled and everyone else's sanity)
Paranormal activity (he kept the base under lock down and refused to let anyone go to sleep)
Missed call (again because of a prank we pulled)
The hills have eyes (Do I even have to say it)
Boogie man (Dear lord help us)
16: The bee movie is not allowed on base at all
(The twins haven't stopped bugging bumblebee since then)
(He wouldn't look at us for two days strait afterwards)
17: Wheeljack is no longer allowed to watch the following series, movies ECT.
Phineas and Ferb.
(Rule #12)
Jurassic Park
(Does everyone need to know how the dinobots were made?)
Myhtbusters
(Not even going to say it)
Brainiac
(He started following us around)
(When we asked him what his problem was)
(He said he was doing an observation)
(For what?)
(We don't know)
Kid vs. Kat
(He built a shrink ray)
(It blew up)
(We were all ant sized for a week)
Spy Kids
(Although we did get cool gadgets out of it)
(And no Wheeljack, we don't work for the OSS!)
James Bond
(Again we got new gadgets)
18: If on occasion that anyone aka Galloway were to call the techno-organics half-breeds, either join them in revenge or run for the hills.
(We will hunt him down)
(Or anyone who calls us that)
(We have tempers)
(And baseball bats)
19: When Judy Witwicky comes over to visit, don't prank or piss her off!
(Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Skids, Mudflap)
(They put something in her drink)
(We still think its greenies)
(It made her loopy)
(And when she came out of it)
(Alien robots or not)
(Say good-bye to your paint)
20: When you're in trouble and you get caught by Prowl, don't made him glitch!
(He losses his memory for like two hours)
(And when he gets it back)
(He's pissed)
Sam laughed a deep throaty laugh and asked Oscar if he could borrow the list of rules for a while. the nine year old gave it to him and he ran inside to find Lennox, who thought that the rules could also be used for Humans as well and went to make some copies.
