It was early morning in the ark, and nothing much was going and Sideswipe were playing a game of spit* whilst Wheeljack, Jazz and Powerglide betted their energon rations on who they thought would win.

"I can't believe it! I lost to-to that!"Sideswipe gestured to Sunstreaker, having lost four times in a row he was very annoyed with his brother.

"What's so bad about it being me that you lost to?"Sunstreaker was obviously angry about being called a 'that' and everyone knew that he would kill just about anyone for insulting his looks.

"Well I, in all ways, am better then you, and I lost!"Sideswipe shouted at his twin, using his arms to exaggerate what he was saying.

"How can you, my dear brother, even compare yourself, to someone has great as me? I, not only look better then you, I do jet judo better, I come up with better punch lines and comebacks, heck, even now I've just proved myself to be better at this game then you. Not that there was anything to prove!"Sunstreaker had a smug smile on his faceplates, well until his brother punched him that is.

"What is going on in here?"Just as the twins were getting into an all out fight, Prowl had entered the room to get his morning rations.

At that moment Perceptor walked in and curious as he was went to see what was going on.

"we're just playing friendly game of spit." Sunstreaker grinned but averted his optics on purpose.

"I wouldn't call what was going on just now 'friendly'!"Prowl said, ignoring Sunstreaker's grin. Prowl momentarily shifted his optics to Perceptor before returning the to the twins, "if either of you two start fighting again, you'll be going straight to the brig...Sunstreaker that involves picking on the minibots!"Sideswipe laughed at this. "Don't think your getting away easy Sideswipe, it also includes your pranks!" prowl finished, mentally smiling at how much easier he's just made his life.

Prowl gave a small 'I'm watching you' glare to them, and then walked of. Perceptor watched Prowl head to the dispenser, before turning to face the twins. At that time they were asking the others if they knew anymore games they could play.

"Have you guys heard of **Texas Hold'em poker?" The group turned to look at Perceptor, shock clearly visible on their faces. Perceptor just smiled, "I'll take that has a no then."

Perceptor got Wheeljack to cut circles out of different colored pieces of metal, then taught the twins how to play poker. After Perceptor had finished explaining the rules they decided they were going to have a practise game. "Hey, can'ah join in?" jazz asked."Anyone can." Perceptor smiled. With that Jazz, Wheeljack and Powerglide all took a seat around the table. Perceptor laughed slightly and began dealing out the cards.

Not long after they had started afew mechs came by to ask if they could join in. Pretty soon they had several tables lined up for everyone who wanted to play. The list of people playing went from Bumblebee, who loved playing any type of game, to bots like Prowl, who was rarely seen smiling, never mind playing a game!

After afew games, not only had they drawn quite a crowd, but, it also became apparent that Perceptor was impossible to beat. No one in any of the games they've played has beaten him, or even come close, which meant that he was being accused of cheating by some mechs.

"He just has to be cheating, there is no other reason for it!" Red alert accused him for the thousandth time this morning.

"Calm it Red!" Sideswipe snapped at Red alert, still trying to figure out why Sunstreaker was better then him at this.

"Come on, " the yellow mech whined, "let's just start another game already."

"You're dealing Sunny," the red twin stated, "the game will start as soon as you deal the cards." This caused Sunstreaker's face to heat up.

This game had got of to a good start, though Wheeljack, Prowl, Powerglide and Sideswipe had already folded. It was Sunstreaker's turn when the alarm sounded throughout the room, causing several mechs to drop their cards. "Seriously, and it was my turn aswell!"
