Kal grumbled with her legs crossed and stuffed another handful of chips in her mouth, staring at the wall as KnockOut, his cherry red shinning in the med bay lamp light, moved about the Med bay. KnockOut silently sighed and turned to face her.

"You really shouldn't eat so much junk food Kal, its not healthy." He scoffed. Kal snorted and replied with a stern,

"I eat when I eat. Don't be a damn dieting council and let me be before I shove a wrench up your aft so far up where the sun don't shine. Got me?" She snapped her gaze to him. He placed his arms over his chest plate and growled, which she returned. In one swift motion, he swiped the bag from her grasp and crushed it. "...You Donkey Kong Bitch...THOSE WHERE MY CHEETOS!" She howled, standing up with a firm stance.

"Watch your mouth or you'll end up in the brig." He replied curtly, cleaning a few medical tools. He heard a low but loud growl and he turned around in time to have a wrench come in contact with his helm. He rubbed the plate and turned to her with a fierce gaze, only to find out she was gone. He furrowed his eyebrow plates and looked around frantically. Then turned on his comm.

[Knock-Out to Barricade,]-KnockOut sighed.

[What.] Barricade replied swiftly, already making his way to the air vent in the hallway. Slag it woman, this was the third time this week she did this! [Air vents?]

[Air vents.] Knock-Out confirmed. Barricade huffed and looked up at the metal vents that had a bit of a creak from her movements.

"Kal...come out...Femme this is getting old." He dead-panned. Suddenly another noise of breaking glass and rolling wheels was behind him. He swiftly turned around around to see a hover board -Kals of course. with a note attached. He plucked it off and growled impatiently as he unfolded it at least twenty times.

Barricade,

You my friend, had just been bamboozled.

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE COPPER!

Kal

Kal lightly chuckled from her newly found spot. An attic like space big enough for only humans and maybe the minicons. She relaxed and pulled out her sketchbook. All was going to plan for her to have piece and quiet. She opened it up to a page she started when she was washing Barricade and Megs. She had drawn each of their alt modes and now all that was left was inking and coloring. She stuck her tongue out lightly as she slowly inked Megatrons alt mode of a chopper.

She made a mental note that whenever he wanted her, she'd yell, "GET TO DA CHOPPA!" ...oh yes. Perfect. Now she needed one for Shockwave, Hook, and the casseticons. She calls them mini-bots because she can pick up Rumble. He's so cute sometimes! TC (Thundercracker) Snorted and laughed when she told him that. She also said that his laugh was quote 'the cutest thing ever!' which was true, it sounded really cute. He didn't comment on it though...hm.. Then she remembered why she wanted quiet in the first place, she wasn't always meant to be cheery and needed a place to let loose some of her other emotions, which is why she typically ran off into air vents or now up here.

Her thoughts ran short as pounding on the wall below her was heard. She peered over to see Barricade sliding down it, sighing. She felt kind of sorry...she promised she'd play War with him...damn a promise is a promise and she wont back down. She nodded to herself and hung her body over the ledge.

"Heya Copper!" She cheered,ignoring her alone feeling and smiled, smiling wider at his jump of fear. He glared up at her then softened as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where have you been!? We thought you ran off!" He huffed, anger slowly returning, she jumped on his offered hand and nuzzled his cheek plates, Barricade rolled his optics.

"M' sorry...I just wanted to be left alone for a bit.." She answered with a small voice. Barricade regretted yelling at her but as she always said 'I'm just trying to get my point across'. Barricade ran a finger down her back in comfort. "..." For once, she was silent, what was there to say? She couldn't take it, she missed being able to go out on a drive...she was isolated. She felt tears pool in her eyes. She wasn't alone, no. She was just...wanting to go and hang out...instead of being cooped up in the base.

Barricade paused when he felt her salt water tears touch his servo. He sighed once more and ran his finger to wipe them away. He knew she wanted to go out again, he knew that from reading her diary...which he also didn't know was private. He smiled slightly as a search came up with a long highway. "Kal, what do you say we go on a..drive?" She looked at him with wide eyes, no more tears falling. She smiled slightly and nodded. He transformed carefully with her in his passenger seat. She patted his dashboard.

"Thanks Cade'..." She smiled wider at the content engine starting up. As they drove by a green buggie she giggled. "Hey Cade'" She giggled. He didn't know if he liked that giggle.

"What?" He asked, a bit worried. She punched his dashboard with a 'PUNCH BUGGIE NO PUNCH BACKS!' He growled and demanded to know what the meaning of that was until he was punched again and another Punch buggie no punch backs was called. "Femme! Knock it off!"

"Sorry Cade'...but its a rule, your supposed to lightly punch someone if you see a bug," She explained, laughing at his confused tone,

" I do not see no insects femme." She rubbed his dashboard while still laughing, which confused him more. However he did kind of like the rubs, he was rather stiff as they drove down the road.

"Cade' I love ya, but nonono, the CAR bug, not an insect." She further explained. He 'ahhhhed' and looked out for anymore of them. She was going to have to pound out a dent in his dashboard if more punches are to come. He was snapped out of his concentration and almost swerved as another punch to his dashboard made him hiss a bit.

"Punch buggie no punch backs!" She cooed, laughing a lot harder. She rolled down the window and leaned on it, laughing as her hair blew all over her.

"Slaggit how'd I miss that one?" He thought to himself as the green bug was out of sight. He heard a content hum and then a sputtering 'bleh!' as her hair blew in her mouth, chuckling lightly he snapped and swerved out of the way as another punch buggie came out of sight. This one being a blue one. "Where are these all coming from?" He pondered to himself.

"Cade'...Copper whats wrong?" Kal asked worried. Ah slag, he forgot she was in here. He pulled back into the road and replied with 'I'm fine' . She didn't look to convinced until a black buggie came into view. "Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaddee~PUNCH BUGGIE NO PUNCH BACKS !" She punched his dashboard as the buggie pulled up ahead. He groaned with a growl...should have just taken her to the mall...He sighed.

This was going to be a long drive. He flinched when a line of buggies where behind him. A very long ride.
