The dusty backroad was empty as the blue car sped along, radio softly humming a tune in the background. Wyldkat didn't notice the two low-slung formula-1 racecars coming up behind her until they zoomed past on either side. One she recognised as the spy, Mirage. But the other one... she smirked and switched her comm over to the Autobot communication frequency. "Hey Raj, wait for me!" Wyldkat revved her engine, speeding up to 95 miles per hour. "Wyldkat, is that you?" the ligier's cultured voice responded, sounding suprised.

"the one and only." Wyldkat laughed. The two racecars slowed to a crawl to let her catch up, moving apart to let her drive inbetween them. "Oh, hello warpspeed. I didn't know that was you." she greeted the second racer, who was colored in pink and grey. "You went by so fast back there, I could barely recognise you." she commented. Warpspeed, the femme racecar in grey and blue, was part of a team of Autobots called the Revolutions. That was a long story to tell, but Wyldkat was friends with them all. She had been with the revolutions the first time they entered this dimension.

The racecar femme silently preened at the compliment. "Thanks." she revved her engine slightly. "Mirage was just showing me a few tricks for racing on dirt." she added. Mirage, on the right side of the two, mumbled something to the extent of "Primus only knows, this planet has enough of it."

"So..." Warpspeed started. "I thought you went back to your home dimension so Dennis's parents wouldn't get suspicious?" she asked. "Yep, but I got bored. so now I'm back." Wyldkat shrugged, bouncing on her tires. As they reached the turnoff to the Ark, Mirage and Wyldkat transformed, but Wyldkat stayed in auto mode. " Hey, could I ask you guys for a favor?" she asked. The two racers glanced at each other. "Depends on what it is." mirage answered.

"Could you not tell anyone I'm here? I wanna suprise HighRoad -I mean Dennis. Okay?"

"Sure." the two racecar 'formers shrugged. "Thanks guys." wyldkat pulled away towards Wheeljack's workshop

"Sure, no problem. see ya later Wyldkat!" Warpspeed yelled back, waving.

"Bright as a lead-plated light bulb, that one." Wyldkat remarked under her breath, thankful the young femme was allready out of hearing range. She transformed at the outside entrance to Wheeljack's workshop, debating silently on whether she wanted to knock, or simply go walkin ing. either might be enough of a suprsie to startle the engineer enough to cause an explosion. "Heh. He's lucky he doesn't spontaneously combust periodically or something, with all the explosions he's been in." she thought wryly. She walked in.

"If you can't hear me coming you might as well ignore me." she called teasingly.

No reply.

"If nobody's home, just say so."

She waited. Again, no reply. Boy, was it dark in here. Wyldkat halted her "catbugular" walk through the workshop, wondering if she should just leave the way she came. She was worried she might step on something and have it explode.

Or kick something.

Or nudge something.

Or even 'breathe' on something.

And where the heck did the door just go? she could see it when it was open, but now it had shut on it's own, and she was trapped. "Mouse in a mine field." she muttered sarcastically.

She sighed, suddendly feeling as lost as Alice in Wonderland. "and down the bunny hole I go." she sighed.

A disembodied voice across the room replied in a soft whisper with "Bunnies? ... zzzz warm... fuzz...zzzzzz...ies." Wyldkat perked an optic ridge, resisting the urge to snicker. Then again, the vibrations might set something off in here!

No, but apparently, wheeljack had been up late working on one of his projects again. she just hoped he hadn't fallen asleep with it. If he rolled over and dropped it.

"Wheeljack?" she called.

"mm..." came the mumbled reply.

"Where is your latest project? I don't wanna step on it or anything"

"..Zzz...bunny...hole...bowrrnghenmmmmmpftrssss..." came the slurred answer. The blue femmecar couldn't help but chortle a little bit at the nonsensical answer. "And what was it?" she asked, turning her headlights on low and weaving around the large piles of junk. She suddenly wasn'tso sure she should have asked.

"Hmmmm... fuzzy...plot...bunny...pickle!"

Wyldkat snorted back a peal of laughter. What had the poor mech been up to!?"

She couldn't help it. she stealthily slid to the flooring, trying to hold it in.

"BLEEEP"

"RAWRRRR!" Wyldkat shot straight up, determined out outrun the inevitable blast radious of whatever she had just set off by SITTING ON!"

She facepalmed as she rounded another pile. "stupidstupidstupidstupid!"

Wheeljack sat up, waking up (well, halfway) "Wuh?" he looked around, not seeing anyone. Wyldkat had unfortunately been right about him taking the device to recharge with him, though. It slid off his lap onto the floor, power cell coming loose.

"BLAM"

"EEEEEE"

Wyldkat hit the floor army-style, hands over her head protectively. Luckily, the power cell was all talk and no action, as the angry explosion was really the sound of the power cell (battery) exploding. The other whatever-it-was bleeped once more and went silent.

Wyldkat glared in it's general direction from across the floor. "Wheeljack!" Wyldkat called loudly, sounding slightly miffed. no anwer. "Wheeljack!!"

"but Ratchet..." came the sleepy reply "I didn't steal your arc-welder, I swear. I just borrowed it. ZZZZZZZZZZ... it was...the...handcuffs...zzzz." snore

All anger wyldkat could have possibly had at the scientist vaporised, and it was all she could do from giggling again. "What was... No, on second thought, I DON'T want to know the answer to that one." she thought.

She successfully made her way through the workshop to where Wheeljack was asleep on his recharge berth. She smiled and carefully picked up the device, setting it on the berthside table. "Bunnies with handcuffs." she remarked, shaking her head. "And pickles." Wheeljack mumbled." Wyldkat studied him for a moment, then said in a normal speaking voice "You're not even really asleep, are you?"

One optic lit. "I was until just now." he yawned. He looked for a second, then powered up the othr optic. "Wyldkat? is that really you?" he started to sit up.

"Yeah. Look, you should get some more rechange. I'll be here for a while." she put a hand on his shoulder and smiled reassuringly.

"Uh... okay." Wheeljack lay back down.

"Is the door to the doc's office locked?" she asked.

"Uh... no, I don't think so. Why"

A shrug. "I just wanted to go in that way. No telling what I'd bump if I went back through the workshop. I'm trying to suprise HighRoad anyway"

"And boy wouldn't that be suprise." she thought. "Hey HighRoad, your car blew up Jacks' shop. Suprise!"

"Ah." Wheeljack's optics clicked off.

"Goodnight, Wheeljack." Wyldkat smiled.

"Night Kat"

She crept away, almost to the door, then a grin spread across her face. She waited till he was storing again (which wasn't very long at all), and she crept back over to him. "This is all a dream." she whispered.

"All...dream." Wheeljack mumbled.

"Yeah, I'm not here." Wyldkat added.

"Then where are you?" Jack mumbled, half pronounced. Wyldkat gave him another look.

"I was never here"

"...never...here..zzzz"

She turned away. then glanced at him out of the corner of her optic. She turned back around, and slowly leaned in. "It was the bunnies with pickled handcuffs"

She fled, cackling, before he could respond.

Sorry, I got carried away with the ending The bunnies carried me away. No! wait! I'm just kidding! It was 3:00 in the morning when I wrote this and all nighters+coffee and M&M's are a dangerous duo for me. I get giggly.

That and Wyldkat's so much fun to write. I can never seem to write her into a really serious scene. heh.

She's also friends with Wheeljack. Yep. Oh yeah, I forgot, duh. The pickles and handcuffs are both a running joke. Pickles came from Rampage's Girl asnd the handcuff thing came from DevArt somewhere...

Bunnies is a running joke with some of my online friends, and kept alive by my mother. ; (she actually tied knots in strips of cloth and markered faces on them and lines on the loose ends for ears, then threw them at me going "Bunnies! Bunnies! Bunnies!") -cackles madly- gotta love her.

Wyldkat is Dennis (AKA HighRoad)'s car, who was pulled into the TF dimension with his team, the autobot Revolutions. She returned home so his parents (who thought the car no longer ran) wouldn't get suspicious. Right after getting the car fixed, Wyldkat was borrowed by Dennis (HighRoad's) fiancee, Ann (Jade) and became part of the Kintari (Syus's team) I've probably confused you pretty thoroughly, so if you want to see the profiles for these charas, just send me a message. I can't put the address here. It won't display if I do.

Later!
