Author's Note: By complete coincidence this is the longest chapter I have written so far anyway don't think all of the partnerships are crack picks there is a reason for each one.
Red quietly got out of bed as soon as the first rays of sun hit his face, he knew today was going to be a very busy day. First he and his friends had agreed to help decorate for the Pallet Town Christmas dance than Optimus was returning today with hopeful news of the human Autobot alliance, and he said he had a surprise.
Getting up Red began to tiptoe towards the bathroom door he had to get there before Blue or any of the other girls. Suddenly Red face planted the ground after tripping over a snoring Gold who was sprawled out on the floor.
"Oh No!" , But it was too late Red's loud thud woke up Blue next door who made a sprint for the bathroom shutting and locking the door just as Red got near.
"NO, No, no!" Red said pounding the wall in a dramatic way, as he knew the girls would be in there for hours trying to get ready for the day.
A few hours later…
Standing outside the bathroom door the small group of boys waited impatiently to use the room that the girls were still occupying like an armed fort.
"Guy's you've been in there for two hours!" Pearl whined to the girls through the door.
"We'll be out in a minute or two!" Crys chimed back as she slowly combed her hair and put it into one of her favorite star hair bands.
"All right that's it! I can't take it anymore!" Gold shouted grabbing a magazine off a nearby stand. " I'm going lumber jack style!" he announced as he left the line.
"You can't be serious!" Ruby questioned with a disgusted look on his face.
"I'm dead serious!" Gold shouted as he made his way to the staircase. " I'm going to find the farthest tree from any windows in this house and go!" he said descending the stairs.
"That guy has some serious issues with patience." Green muttered.
Heading down the stairs Gold passes by Sapphire who was waiting for her toast to finish.
"Where are you going?" she asked as Gold passed the bar.
"Well…you see…" Gold said sheepishly not really feeling comfortable telling a girl where he was heading.
"Going lumberjack style?" the brunette guessed as she cleaned out a cup to pour some milk in.
"Yeah." Gold said rubbing the back of his head seriously not wanting to talk to Sapphire about his bathroom needs.
"Use the tree about five minutes away from the house right outside the woods. It provides cover and no one can see you from the road." She offered while she searched for a drying towel.
"You've already gone out there?" Gold asked bewildered.
"I went as soon as I woke up! I already knew the other girls would be hogging the bathroom, and I don't really take that long to freshen up." She said as she finally found a towel in a drawer next to the fridge.
"Oh one more thing." Gold's hand was already on the backdoor knob and couldn't hold it in much longer.
"What?" he asked as nicely as possible.
"Red's mom left a note on the fridge. She and all the other parents went out to buy the supplies for the dance. She wants all of us to meet her at the community center at two' o'clock." Sapphire said drying the glass thoroughly with her rag. "Also after breakfast we need to meet Optimus and the Autobots at Prof. Oak's ranch." She finished putting the glass down, while digging through the fridge for the milk.
"Okay I got it!" Gold said rushing out the back door.
Suddenly to Sapphire's surprise Gold came back through the door.
"Is something burning?" the young man asked smelling the air before rushing back out the door.
"Aaahhhh!" Sapphire screamed as she quickly popped her burning toast out of the toaster. Looking at the black pieces of charcoal in front of her she put on a frown, and went back to the cabinet to find more bread wondering how this day was going to turn out.
Later everyone sat in the grass at the Professor's ranch while their larger than life friends approached them.
"So what's up Prime? Why did the Gym Leaders want to talk to you?" Ruby asked as he worked on combing the knots out of Nana's hair much to Sapphire's annoyance.
"I bring news that the good Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto have welcomed us with open arms into their alliance of justice as has the combined military." Optimus announced to the overjoyed teens.
"That's great Optimus, but what about the other regions?" Sapphire asked hoping her own region had the brains to ally themselves with such powerful warriors.
"We are currently in negotiations with the Hoenn region, and the Sinnoh region refuses to talk to us due to an accident twenty-five years ago involving an ancient priceless statue and a certain Autobot who's name will not be mentioned." Optimus replied answering the question. Out of the corner of her eye Sapphire could see Cliffjumper quickly kick his gun behind a nearby tree.
"I would also like to thank you all for following my orders and spending the three days of my absence bonding with each other." Optimus thanked both his troops and his human friends. As everyone else began to leave Optimus held Red back to ask him a question.
"What is it Prime?" Red asked as he turned to face his friend.
"Red. Myself and Prof. Oak need your help in order to test the surprise for later this evening." Prime replied.
"Sure whatever you need Optimus." Red said as he followed the Autobot leader towards Prof. Oak's cottage.
Elsewhere in a different place, in a different climate the sound of drills and other rudimentary digging machines could be heard deep into the Arctic air.
"Thundercracker! Dig faster!" Megatron roared as he continued to overlook the excavation of the energy source Ravage had found three days ago.
Walking away from the dig Megatron approached Soundwave who was busy studying a small sample of the energy to determine of it was safe for Cybertronian use.
"Soundwave give me a total work report." Megatron ordered as he walked into the cave where Soundwave was working on the sample.
"An analysis of the fuel indicates that it is indeed useable by our kind. Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Ravage have excavated seventy-five percent of the dome containing the fuel source. Buzzsaw is currently interrogating the four Autobots that were recovered from the pod three days ago. Laserbeak is still continuing his search for our lost ship headquarters, and Frenzy and Rumble are continuing their search for the energy signature we picked up in the nearby caves." Soundwave reported as Megatron began looking at a map on the wall.
"Excellent." Megatron motioned as he continued to observe the map looking for more potential fuel sources.
Deep in the caves surrounding the Decepticon camp Frenzy and his brother Rumble dug their way through the ice trying to find the mysterious energy signature that Soundwave detected yesterday.
"What exactly are we looking for again Frenzy?" Rumble asked as he continued shattering away at the ice sheets with his transformed pile driver arms.
"For the ten hundredth time you idiot we're looking for the cybertronian energy signature!" Frenzy shouted at his twin.
"Okay! Geez you don't have to shout!" Rumble yelled as he threw a punch at his brother.
Frenzy quickly dodged the strike and went at Rumble with the drills he kept in his wrists. The two soon broke out into a full-fledged death match that lasted for ten minutes until Rumble knocked down a large chunk of ice while trying to punch Frenzy.
"Rumble wait look!" Frenzy shouted trying to pull his brother's hands off his neck.
"Whoa! I think we need to get the boss!" Rumble said nervously looking at the pure cybertronian hand that was jutting from the ice wall frozen in time.
Meanwhile back in Pallet Town the dex holders had once again gathered at Prof. Oak's lab for the second time that day. After their dismissal from the earlier meeting the holders spent the day laying out the supplies they would need for the dance, but the real decorating wouldn't begin until tomorrow.
Everyone turned their attention to Prof. Oak as he walked up to the group of his assembled trainers with Optimus. To their shock he was holding thirteen destiny spoons.
"You're probably wondering why you're all here." The Professor began, " The truth is Optimus believes that all of you would be safer if you had an Autobot partner to bond with and protect you." He said to the assembly of stunned faces.
"It is true. In case the Decepticons return I would feel much more safe if you bonded with a special partner." Optimus stated. "We plan to use the destiny spoons to find your perfect matches amongst the Autobots helping to smooth the process of getting along. We have already tested the destiny spoons on Red, and just like his father before him destiny has teamed Red with Bumblebee." Prime said as Red approached the group with the small noble Autobot behind him. "Also for safety purposes the spoons have been specially designed to leave Ratchet and Myself out as we are Megatron's biggest enemies." He said finishing.
As Prof. Oak passed out the spoons Blue couldn't help, but wonder how such a harmless guy like Ratchet was one of Megatron's worst enemies.
"Now the Autobots are out in the ranch fields. You are to walk around until your spoon clamps onto one of them. When that happens you will know your Autobot partner." The Professor said releasing all the dex holders out into his fields.
"Shall we go and keep in eyes on things." Prime asked Bumblebee, Red, and Prof. Oak.
Walking around in the field Green continued his search for his so called Autobot partner unaware that Blue was quietly sneaking up behind him. Jumping out of the bushes she flew through the air and landed on top of Green.
"What are you doing?" Green shouted at the girl who had surprised him.
"I'm just messing with you!" Blue shouted back hurt that Green was being so rude just because she was playing around with him.
"Get off me you pesky girl." Green said getting up causing Blue to fall on the ground.
"Fine I guess I won't help you!" Blue shouted as she walked off still angry that Green had been so rude.
"I don't need your help!" he shouted still trying to keep the blush down that he had on his face throughout the entire talk. Suddenly to his surprise the spoon in his hand flew off behind him.
"Alright! Whose spoon is this?" The small green Autobot shouted turning around and pulling the spoon off his dome shaped head.
"Brawn? You're my partner?" Green asked shocked at the choice. Although the more he thought about he could see the similarities between the two of them, and decided to give it a shot.
"So kid I hope you like training because I do a lot of it." The Autobot stated as Green smiled that he might have finally found the perfect training partner.
On the other side of the field Silver had met his Autobot partner and was appalled to find out it was Bluestreak. The most talkative of the Autobots. He was going insane. Bluestreak had not shut up since the spoon attached to his arm. Silver had to wonder what on Earth fate had in mind when it paired them together they had absolutely nothing in common.
Across the way Silver suddenly saw Dia and Pearl having some trouble with their spoons. The two spoons had somehow intertwined themselves together, and launched through the air. Suddenly there was a loud shout and the Autobot twins Sunstreaker and Sideswipe approached with the intertwined spoons lodged in Sideswipes mouth.
"Well look at who we got partnered with!" Sunstreaker said pulling the spoons out of his brother's mouth.
"Well, this could be fun!" Pearl said rubbing his hands together thinking about all fun they could have with the twins.
About twenty yards away Blue walked around her head down looking at her spoon still angry at the way Green had acted about one little joke. She was so distracted she didn't notice Prof. Oak walk up beside her.
Blue kept walking until she bumped into a large white leg that her spoon instantly attached to. Looking up her face instantly went into shock.
"There is no way in hell I'm partnering up with you!" she shouted as she pointed at the massive Autobot.
"I quite agree!" Prowl growled glaring down at the little girl. The two had defiantly not gotten along at all in the past three days.
"Sometimes fate believes that people should be paired up in order to overcome challenges. Perhaps it wants to break you of your thieving ways Blue." Prof. Oak said from behind the girl.
"Or maybe fate wants me to help this guy lighten up!" Blue yelled turning to face the old man.
"Pfft! I highly doubt that." Prowl scoffed at Blue's ridiculous remark.
"You stay out if this!" She yelled at the massive Autobot. Whirling around to face Prof. Oak only to find the old professor was walking away leaving the two new found partners to bicker amongst themselves.
Not to far away in the forest Platina was sitting on a stump slowly stirring her cup of tea with her destiny spoon. Just as she was about to taste it the spoon flew behind her and slammed into the back of a nearby Autobot's head.
"Which one of you filthy human peasants threw this spoon at my head!" Mirage shouted tearing the spoon off of his head and throwing it to the ground looking for the source of the unwanted piece of silverware.
"Who do you think you are talking to? I am Ms. Platina Berlitz! From the Sinnoh Berlitzes the richest family in Sinnoh!" Platina yelled at the extremely rude cybertronian.
Mirage instantly perked up after hearing Platina's self-introduction. "Ah! A fellow aristocrat! Perhaps fate has a brain after all. Anyway I am Mirage from one of the richest units of cybertron." The tall white and blue Autobot announced.
"Well of that's the case than it is a pleasure to meet you Sir Mirage." Platina happily replied overjoyed to finally have another rich person to talk to.
Watching with disgust on his face Cliffjumper made a vomiting noise and walked away slowly; he hated the rich with a passion and especially despised that flake Mirage. Suddenly a spoon flew through the air and attached to his nose.
"You've got to be kidding me." Cliffjumper mumbled under his breath as Emerald approached him with Ruby and Sapphire in tow.
"Ha ha ha!" Ruby laughed as Emerald approached the violent little red Autobot. " I can see why fate paired you two together!" Ruby continued trying to catch his breath.
"Ruby be nice!" Sapphire complained trying to cheer Emerald up who wasn't listening.
Suddenly out of sheer rage Emerald brought his knee up between Ruby's legs dropping the older boy to the ground in tears.
Cliffjumper burst into laughter. " I could work with this kid!" he added; pretending to wipe a nonexistent tear from his eye.
Sapphire bent down to help pull Ruby off the floor, but suddenly dropped him on the ground again.
"Sapphire what did you do that for?" Ruby shouted rubbing his sore bottom, but Sapphire wasn't paying him any attention because her spoon had gone off the deep end and was fidgeting like a mad man.
Running around trying to help the spoon out it quickly shot forward into a nearby trio of Autobots.
A wide smile appeared on Sapphire's face as her spoon attached itself to a large red Autobot.
"Oh Yes!" Sapphire practically shouted as she ran up to Ironhide who also had a large grin on his face. The two had spent a lot of time together in the past three days training with one another and had become great friends.
"Well I'll be! Would you look at that!" Ironhide said in his thick southern accent as he helped Sapphire up onto his shoulder. "This is a partnership I could work with." He added complimenting the young girl.
Meanwhile a little ways away Ratchet was searching for Yellow trying to figure out who she had been partnered with. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Yellow talking to a large white robot with Green and Red stripes.
"Oh this is not good!" he muttered under his breath as he approached.
"So you are in inventor Wheeljack?" Yellow asked her partner whom she had recently discovered.
"You bet! I'm also pretty good at doing tricks in vehicle mode." Wheeljack said to the small blonde girl.
Suddenly Ratchet walked up his arms filled with medical supplies.
"Oh hello Ratchet! I was talking to my partner Wheeljack and…" she was cut off as ratchet began filling her arms with all kinds of medical supplies while naming each one off one by one telling her she would be needing each one.
"You may need to drink a lot of water to as your healing powers will be hard at work." He added giving her a water bottle.
"Um Ratchet? What are you talking about?" Yellow asked a little scared about her medic friend's behavior.
Ratchet dropped everything and turned to Wheeljack giving his fellow Autobot a death glare.
"You didn't tell her?" Ratchet asked.
"I-I was getting around to it." Wheeljack stuttered rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Tell me what?" Yellow asked slowly a little afraid to find out the answer.
"My inventions have a tendency to backfire sometimes." Wheeljack said embarrassedly.
"SOMETIMES!" Ratchet erupted, "Wheeljack I have had to rebuild you from scratch at least four hundred times!" he shouted while Yellow looked on horrified that someone could be so careless.
"Hey on the 42nd time you only had to repair my arm!" Yellow was even more shocked that Wheeljack was admitting to having so many near death experiences.
"Wheeljack you somehow managed to turn it into a fish!" Ratchet complained.
Having enough of the fight Yellow placed her hand on ratchet to reassure him. "Don't worry I'll do my best to fix Wheeljack." She said calming her friend.
"Good luck. You'll need it." Ratchet said walking off.
"Don't worry kid I'm a great guy." Wheeljack said looking back down at Yellow. "Plus I make the best birthday presents." he added.
Yellow could only nervously nod her head.
Seeing all of this Optimus walked off to find Jazz. It took a few minutes but he eventually found his lieutenant near the fence with his partner Gold sitting on his shoulder.
"Yo Prime check it." Jazz said pointing to Gold. "Fate has some pretty good ideas! I like this kid." He said laughing.
As the trio continued to talk Prowl came walking up a nervous expression on his face.
"Prime we have a problem!" he said approaching his commander.
"What is it Prowl?" Prime asked hoping his second-in-command wasn't about to ask for a new partner; again.
"The latest satellite images show heavy Decepticon activity in the Arctic Circle." Prowl said saluting his commander.
"This is troubling. Prowl I want you to gather enough Autobots to form an effective strike team and get them ready to go." He said dismissing Prowl.
"Hey can Crys and I come to?" Gold asked out of the blue. "I mean I really want to see jazz fight, and Crys' partner still hasn't been revealed maybe she needs to spend some more time with you guys." Gold said pleading his case to Optimus.
Optimus agreed with Gold's point he believed the children could easily defend themselves in battle and approved Gold's request.
A few yards away from the assembled Autobots Ruby sat alone on a stump looking at his lifeless spoon with a dejected look.
"Ruby are you Okay?" Sapphire asked walking up to her best friend.
"I'm just fine Sapph." He said in a monotone voice.
"No your not. Please tell me what's wrong." She said sitting down next to him.
"I told you I'm fine!" Ruby yelled taking the girl aback.
"I was just trying to help!" Sapphire yelled back, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
"Yeah, well I don't need your help! Go play with your disgusting pokemon you little barbaric girl!" Ruby yelled not realizing what he just said.
"Sapph wait I'm…" but it was to late Sapphire ran off with tears in her eyes.
As Prowl ran through the final checks before leaving Windcharger Spotted Sapphire coming towards them, she was trying to hold back tears as she walked up.
"Kid what happened? What's wrong?" Ironhide asked driving up to his partner's side.
"I-It's nothing. I-Ironhide can I come with you guys? I just really need to get away." She asked the tears in her eyes growing larger.
"Sure kid. Hop in." He said opening up his passenger door for the girl to step in.
Ironhide sent Prime a message that Sapphire was with him before the convoy took off.
Back at the ranch Blue approached Ruby; she had heard the whole fight.
"Ruby I can't believe you would say something that mean to Sapphire! I thought you liked her?" Blue asked her voice filled with contempt for the younger boy.
"I know, and I do like her. I shouldn't have said that I was just angry and took it out on her." He sighed.
"Why were you so angry?' the older girl questioned.
"Because my spoon didn't pick anyone." He said his voice cracking up.
"SO!" Blue screamed not believing Ruby could be so selfish.
"You don't understand," he said, "When I was a little kid I had no friends because I wanted to be a coordinator instead of a trainer, and it just felt like a slap to the face when fate pretty much said I wasn't supposed to have friends." He said the tone of misery in his voice coming out loud.
"oh." Blue said feeling horrible about how she yelled at him earlier.
"I'm so sorry Ruby I didn't mean to…"
"It's okay." Ruby said looking back down at his spoon.
"Think about it this way. Maybe your partner isn't on Earth yet?" Blue said hoping to cheer the boy up while wondering where and who his partner could be.
Meanwhile deep in the Decepticon cave base four Autobot prisoners conversed amongst themselves while being watched over by Buzzsaw.
"So how are we going to get out of here?" one of the voices asked another.
"Don't worry I've already sent an emergency coded massage for help." The voice replied to the first's question.
"Who on this planet could you have possibly KAPOW sent a message to Red Alert?" a third voice asked.
"Optimus Prime." The bot said.
Authors Note: I hope you enjoyed anyway I told you not all the partners were crack. The two most confusing ones though might be Green and Silver. You see Brawn reminds me of Chuck the Gym Leader who was also Green's old mentor so I thought they worked well, and I chose Silver and Bluestreak because both have a tormenting past. Anyway please review!
