A/N: I was busy showering, and all of a sudden this plot bunny attacked me. I am planning to do a couple of one shots where Sam is interacting with different bots...but that all depends on whether you like it or not. I know absolutely nothing about baseball. It is late in the evening...I've got an excuse if my grammar/spelling is horrible. =D

This is my disclaimer



Ironhide winched at the force of which Sam slammed his door shut. He could understand the boy's frustration, but was really necessary to hit it that hard?

"Come on Sam, a little bonding time with Ironhide. What could go wrong? If Will ever asks me another favour, I'll shoot him myself." Sam mumbled to himself
"Sam, I..."

"Ironhide, please I don't want to talk to you right now."

"Would it help if I said I was sorry?"

"No it won't."

And without another word Sam walked away, Ironhide had no choice but to follow.

O0o0o0o0ooo0oooo 30 minutes earlier 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Sam, I still don't understand the point of running around in circles?"

Sam sighed, for the 6th time this hour...Sam had to explain to Ironhide the rules of baseball. He made a quick mental note to kick Will in the shins if he ever asks Sam to spend personnel time with each and every bot. Why couldn't he do it?

"Ironhide, it's a game. You know the rules...so just enjoy it." But before Ironhide could say something back, Sam quickly added "And no...you are not allowed to hit somebody when a player screams strike." Primus was on Sam's side today because the moment the player screamed strike the man next to Ironhide's holographic projection, knocked over his bottle of water. He missed Ironhide's arm by a few centimetres.

"This game is no fun."

"Yes it is. You just.....OOOOOHHH catch it Ironhide. It's coming straight for you!!!!" Ironhide looked up to see a small white ball coming towards him. He stood up and held his hands out...a few seconds later the small white ball was securely in his hands. The crowd went wild. People were slapping him on the back and shouting at him. 'What in Primus name is going on' Ironhide thought. He looked over at Sam. The boy was giving him one of those huge smiles.

"What am I suppose to do with it now?"

"Through it back to the player on the ground." As soon as Sam finished his sentence, Ironhide turned and threw it back to the player. He turned back to Sam.

"The game has got to go on buddy, through it back" Ironhid blinked a few times.

"What do you mean through it back?"

"The ball. Through it back."

"I already did." As Sam's face paled so did understanding cross his features. He was just about to voice his thoughts when somebody screamed "He's down. Someone get a paramedic" All the eyes in the stadium turned towards the field. And there on the field lay a player. The best player of the season. And next to the player lay a small white ball. All the eyes in the stadium turned towards Ironhide and Sam.

"Sam?"

"Ironhide...when I say run, you run as if Chromia herself is on your tail."

"Understood."

"RUN!!!!!!"

"Sam?"

"Not only did you knock out a key player. I got tackled by 5 security guards...and you, who don't even feel anything on your holographic driver, got tackled by two. You also caused us to get banned from watching baseball for the whole season."

"Sam, I am sorry. What do you want me to do?"
"You know what the worst thing about this is?"

"What?"

"You threw that ball so Primus slagging fast, that they had to replay it 5 times before they even saw the ball." And with that Sam walked in silence while Ironhide followed in his car mode.

"You're wrong Sam."

"About what?

"You got banned from baseball not me. I can change my holographic driver image."


Let me know what you think...hint,hint, wink, wink
