This came from reading quotes from "Avatar: The Last Airbender". They were too funny not to use for a fic. Tell me what you think!

Ratchet sighed as he settled the unconscious tactician onto a berth. "Primus, kid. If I have to pick you up after glitching one more time…" He left the threat unfinished, stalking out of the medbay muttering. "Riella's gonna have a fit when she hears about this…"

The moment the medic was gone, two heads poked around the doorframe.

"Is he gone?"

"Duh. We'd be screwed if he weren't, dumbass!"

"Who you callin' dumbass?"

"Shut up! You wanna do this or not?"

"Of course! YOU shut up!"

Two minutes and a lot of bickering later, the duo hurried out of the medbay, leaving Prowl completely unaware of the adjustments that had just been made to his database…

In the rec room, Sam and Tai were sprawled on the floor playing Fallout 2. Riella and Sideswipe were absorbed in an intense game of 3-D chess at one of the tables, and Optimus Prime and Barricade were seated on the huge couch, alternately watching the video game or the chess game.

The door slammed open abruptly. Riella looked up, expecting to see Bumblebee, Jazz, or someone similarly excitable rushing in with something to tell them. Her jaw dropped when it was the last mech she would have expected.

Prowl, her calm, collected, rational sparkmate, was standing in the door looking more panicked than Red Alert in the middle of a glitch. Before she could ask what was wrong, he pointed at Barricade's energon cube with a horrified yell.

"DON'T DRINK THAT!"

'Cade immediately spit his mouthful of energon out – unfortunately, all over Optimus. "What's wrong? Is it poisoned?"

"NO!" Prowl gestured frantically. By this point, everyone in the room was staring at him. "I had a dream we were in the middle of a Decepticon attack, and you had to go to the bathroom! WE ALL DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR TINY BLADDER!"

Sam didn't even notice his game character dying, Sideswipe knocked over the chess table, and Optimus stopped trying to clean the energon off his shoulder plating. Barricade blinked repeatedly. "Uhhh…."

Riella frowned. "Prowl, are you alright?"

Prowl looked frantically around the room. "NO, I AM NOT ALRIGHT! I am being hunted by people who want to reprogram my brain. I AM NOT SLAGGING ALRIGHT!" With that, he spun around and bolted out of the room, leaving everyone staring after him in shock.

Riella finally found her voice again and turned to stare at the silver mech across the table from her. "Sideswipe…"

"Don't look at me!" Sideswipe shook his head. "I had nothing to do with that. Besides, I've been in here with you for the last hour."

"Good point." Riella sighed and got up. "I'll see if I can catch up to him and drag him down to medbay before he freaks out Red Alert."

A startled yelp came from down the hall, and Arcee ducked into the rec room with wide optics. "What the slag is wrong with Prowl?"

Riella facepalmed. "And I'd better do it fast."

Ten minutes later, she caught up with Prowl, who was yelling at a very confused Ironhide. "THIS IS MY CALM FACE!"

"Prowl…" Riella forced an all-too-cheerful smile. "Let's walk down to the medbay, okay?"

"NOOOOOO!" Prowl spun around to face her, optics ridiculously wide. "They want to reprogram my head! I'm NOT – " THUD.

Ironhide sighed. "Didn't want to knock him out, but it was the lesser of two evils."

"Thanks, 'Hide." Riella awkwardly slid one arm under her unconscious mate's shoulders, half-carrying and half-dragging him. "Mind giving me a hand getting him down to Ratchet?"

The weapons specialist picked up Prowl easily and slung him over one broad shoulder. "What's wrong with him?"

"Don't know. Hope Ratchet can figure it out."

Impressively, Ratchet managed to hear the whole story without bursting into laughter, although he did crack a smile at the comments to Barricade. "Sounds like someone's been screwing with his database again. I'll take care of it if you'll find the culprit."

Ironhide slammed one fist into the other. "Sideswipe?"

"Wasn't him." Riella shook her head. "I was with him for an hour before Prowl turned up. And before you ask, so was Tai."

"And Leo and Co. are off base…" Ironhide sighed. "That leaves Skids and Mudflap."

Ratchet looked up from his adjustments to Prowl's helmet. "I haven't seen them since this morning."

"Soooo…." Ironhide's grin was decidedly evil. "Now we find them?"

"No." Riella's smirk matched his. "Now we wait for them to find us."
