So apparently you all want to know what happens to the Prankster Queen? I'm not telling. Not til we get to the party itself. Bwahaha! Although I will give you one hint...think Parent Trap.
This chapter is basically everyone getting their guardian to go along with the plan. Some are willing, others somewhat willing, and others don't want to do it at all!
I tried getting all the kids' (OCs too) POV for all of this.
It starts with Miko's POV
This girl doesn't own Transformers Prime (Although I wish I did...) All I own are my OCs.
Chapter 2
Begging
Miko POV
"Ok," I started as we all sat down in the human section of the Base, "Here's the plan,"
I looked at all of them.
"We need to convince our guardians to go along with the party, which is to say…let Jack rabbit do his changing thing…"
"Legacy," I heard Jack mutter, "And don't call me that!"
"Whatever," I waved him off, "And turn them human for a day,"
"I think Smokey will go for it," Amber nodded.
"'Bee will," Raf agreed, "He's been hoping to spend more on level ground time with me,"
"Jolt might," Ben said, "He's interested in how we work,"
"We might have trouble with Ratchet and Ultra Magnus…" Dusk warned, "They're our sticks in the mud…"
"If we can get only five 'Bots…we can finish them off," Amber added, "Prime said that if we get majority…we're doing it, no questions asked."
"I'm sure I can convince Jackie," Sean grinned, "He'll go for it if it means he can have a little fun with me in the process,"
"I can convince Bulkhead," I finished, looking at Jack.
"I dunno if Arcee will go for it,"
"Oh come on Jack!" I begged, "You gotta try! She has to say yes to her favorite nephew…right?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jack POV
"Absolutely not!" Arcee huffed.
"C'mon, Arcee," I tried again, "It's just one day…"
"I didn't like it for one minute!" she snapped, "I don't think I like the sound of a whole day of being human!"
"Hey!" I protested, "It's not that bad! Mom and I have been doing it for seventeen almost eighteen years now!"
"Well you didn't have much of a choice!"
"Please?" I asked, "For your favorite nephew?"
"My only nephew,"
"You forget the other one…" I sighed, "Fine, I guess I'm going to have to get Dusk to go ahead with that prank she was going to pull…"
"What prank?"
"Doesn't matter…you're not going anyway…"
"And here I was going to say yes…"
"Wait…what?!" I demanded.
My aunt smiled deviously.
"Oh well…"
"Wait!" I yelled, "Fine, I'll tell her not to pull it!"
My aunt smiled as she knelt down to be level with me. I reached out and touched her knee. Her frame shrank and shifted, leaving a young woman in her place.
Arcee's human form looked much like her holoform. Medium height, but still shorted than me, her blue and violet laced eyes, short, choppy dark black hair that had a thin strand of pink for the bangs much like Miko's bang. The one thing about her hair that you would have a hard time noticing is the fact that when the sunlight hits it a certain way, the black turns dark blue.
"I still think this feels weird," Arcee muttered.
"You'll get used to it," I shrugged.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Amber POV
"And you say we'll actually get to have fun?" Smokey asked.
I nodded.
"C'mon, Smokey, pweeeeaaaaase?" I begged.
"Smokescreen, it'll be fine," Dusk reassured him.
He didn't look convinced.
"And here you said he'd be one of the easy ones," my best friend muttered.
"I honestly thought he would be!" I protested.
"Easy?" Smokescreen demanded, "Really Amber!?"
Dusk looked at me.
"Let's bring in the big bomb," I thought.
Dusk smiled evilly.
"Dad's gonna do it," Dusk said.
Smokey's optics went wide.
Yep! When in doubt, play the 'Prime's going to do it' card. Smokey respected Prime, and I think he does even more so…
Especially since he was almost named one.
I shuddered, I remembered that little moment in the cave when Prime's optics winked out and the Matrix exposed itself for Smokey. My guardian was a potential Prime.
And it scared him witless.
I patted Smokey's pede.
"It'll just be for a day," I promised, "Who knows…maybe you'll like it!"
"Like what?" I heard Arcee's voice ask…
From a young woman in her twenties.
"You convinced Arcee," Dusk said, approvingly as Jack rubbed the back of his head, "I'm impressed baby brother,"
"Ar…cee?" Smokey asked, optics wide.
The woman grinned.
"Right here, Destiny's Child," she said.
"Whoa…" my guardian whispered.
"You want to try?" I asked him.
"Now that I see it with my own optics…yeah…yeah I do,"
"It doesn't hurt, Smokescreen," Jack reassured my guardian as he walked over and placed a hand on Smokey's pede, "It's just a tickle really,"
Suddenly, Smokey let out a yelp as his form blurred.
I jumped up…
Right as a bright red headed young man about my age straightened up.
He still had Smokey's bright blue eyes, his hair was slightly longish and it kept getting in his eyes. He was taller than me, right around Jack's height.
"Ok…that was weird…" the man said, with Smokey's voice as he looked at his hands.
"He's a ginger," Dusk smirked.
"A what?" both Arcee and Smokescreen asked.
"He has a soul!" I shouted at my friend.
Dusk laughed, "I never said he didn't…it's just probably not his own…"
I socked her in the shoulder…
And was rewarded with a throbbing hand.
"Owwww!" I yelled, shaking my hand vigorously.
"You'd think you'd learn not to hit metal by now…" Dusk sighed.
"Hey guys…?" Ben asked, "I think Jolt might be interested."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ben POV
Getting Jolt to say yes wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be…
Especially when I mentioned that I'd get to spend more time with him and get to do more with him.
When I saw Dusk, Amber and Jack with two other people I immediately identified as Arcee and Smokescreen…I had a feeling that we were on a roll.
"I'm ready," Jolt purred, holding out a servo to Jack.
The young Prime put his own hand on the large black servo and my friend's form flickered…a young man about my height with dark black, slightly messy hair and glasses perched upon his nose. Jolt looked like his holoform, just like Arcee did.
"I told you getting Jolt to join in would be easy," I said, "How was it with you guys?"
Amber and Jack both glared at me.
"Don't ask," Dusk whispered in my ear, "It was hard enough to get Smokey, I'm surprised Jack got Arcee,"
"So…who's next?" I asked.
Suddenly, both Jack and Dusk got this faraway look on their faces. The both snapped out of it at the same moment.
"We need to get 'Bee calmed down a bit…" Dusk started.
"Why?" I asked as she headed out.
"You'll see,"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Raf POV
"'Bee, I'm sorry," I said, looking up at my friend.
He still shook a little, shaking his helm.
"Raf!" I heard Dusk yell from behind me, "Wha…whoa, 'Bee…"
She laid a hand on his servo, eyes sad.
"What happened?" a black haired man with glasses asked.
"Jolt?" I asked.
He smiled.
"With Arcee and Smokescreen,"
"'Bee," a dark haired woman I assumed was Arcee started, "What's wrong?"
"He's not too keen on coming," I explained, "His voice…"
The three Autobots turned human's eyes dimmed and their shoulders sagged as they got what was going on.
"He's afraid he won't be able to communicate…" the last Autobot turned human, a red haired man that I knew was Smokescreen, sighed.
"You don't know what it's like!" 'Bee snapped, "I want to do this! But…I c-can't…"
He put his helm in his servos as his brother and sister comforted him.
"I want to be able to talk with you guys," he whispered, "Humans can't speak Cybertronian…it burns out their vocal cords…what could I use?"
That gave me an idea.
"'Bee?" I asked.
"What," he growled miserably.
"Do you know sign language?"
"…Yeah…?"
"You can still talk to me," I said, "My great aunt Linda, she's deaf, and Mamá taught me the language so I could speak with her,"
"And we've still got the sibling bond with you," Jack added, "So Mom, Dad, Arcee, Dusk and I can still understand,"
'Bee's optics lit up happily.
And he nodded.
Strong hands soon picked me up and happy sky colored eyes sparkled underneath black and gold streaked bangs as 'Bee hugged me.
"New look looks nice, 'Bee," Dusk smiled as 'Bee put me down.
"You still understand?" 'Bee signed.
"Perfectly," I signed back.
He smiled happily.
"JACK!" Miko's voice shouted.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sean POV
Miko had magically gotten Bulkhead to agree with her right off the bat and she was now getting Jack to change Bulkhead. Big softy that one. Especially when Miko's envolved.
Jackie on the other hand…
"I dunno Bulk," Jackie started, "I'm not sure I like this plan of hers."
"C'mon, Jackie," I started, "You're always complaining that we never do anything together…well, do anything that won't get me squished at any point,"
I looked up at Bulkhead.
"Bulk, please back me up on this!" I begged.
"Jackie, it'll be fun!" Bulkhead said, "Miko promised that she wouldn't run off for the next few days,"
"As tempting as that offer is…I don't know if I want to," Jackie growled.
"You saying that being human is a bad thing?" I challenged.
"No!" Jackie protested, "I just…don't know if there might be an emergency…"
"I'll change you back on Dad's order," Jack's voice said from behind us.
We all turned around…and saw a bunch of people standing behind Jack.
And not just the normal crew!
I'm going with the new guys are the changed 'Bots. Most likely 'Bee, Smokey, Jolt and (shockingly) Arcee.
"Hatchet is going to hit the roof," I muttered, "Seeing all these new humans on base…"
"Would it make it any better if I told you Optimus okayed it?" Miko asked as Jack put his hand on Bulkhead's leg.
A dark skinned, muscular man with army green attire took his place. The man looked up at Jackie, his bright blue eyes shining.
"C'mon, Jackie, it doesn't hurt…it actually tickles," the man laughed with Bulkhead's voice.
"I still don't like this idea…" Jackie muttered.
Ok. I've tried asking nicely, I've tried making him mad…
Now its personal.
I latched onto his pede.
"Pleeeeeeaaaaase?" I begged, "Jackie pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!?"
"Shawnee…" Jackie moaned, "Not the sparkling eyes…"
I pouted and looked up at him.
"Pwease?" I asked innocently.
"Not looking… Not looking… Not looking…" Jackie repeated over and over again.
His resolve is weakening.
"But Jackie…!"
He looked down.
"GAH! Primus, Sean!" he groaned, "FINE!"
"Yes!" I shouted as I let go.
Jackie held out a servo to Jack, who lightly touched it.
And I saw Jackie's holoform replace his mech form.
My height, deeply tanned skin, dark black hair that went every which way, the two scars on his lip stood out, and his bright blue eyes gleamed brightly.
Jackie patted himself down.
"Not bad…not bad at all," he muttered.
"And you thought being human was a bad thing," I chuckled.
"I never said that!"
"You were thinking it,"
"So!" Jackie said, clapping his hands together and changing the subject, "When do I get to see Shoulderpads' human form?"
"We have to get Hatchet first," Dusk replied, crossing her arms.
We all looked at each other.
Ratchet wouldn't like this…not at all.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dusk POV
Since my guardian was already on board…and since I didn't have any convincing to do…
I got stuck getting Hatchet and Magnus.
Hooray for me.
I was all but thrown into the Med Bay by my siblings and friends.
"We'll be right behind you," Jack said.
HA! Yeah right.
"I know you too well baby brother,"I growled back.
He shrugged, grinning at me.
"Ratchet!" I shouted as I came into the Med Bay…
Where Ultra Magnus also waited.
Aw, scrap.
Just. My. Fraggin'. Luck!
"What is it Dusk," Ratchet growled, glaring at me.
"Miko wants to have a pool party,"
"Well, let her do it! Just as long as she doesn't bother me!"
"She wants everyone there,"
That caused both medic and stiff to stop and stare.
"No," Ratchet stated bluntly after the silence, "Absolutely not!"
"Magnus? Sir?" I amended as he glared at me.
"I agree with Ratchet," he said, "I do not see the logic in having us at this…party…"
"It's Miko, there is no logic," I countered.
"Tell her I'm sorry," I hurriedly told Jack via sibling bond.
Ratchet hmphed and went back to work.
"You have no choice," I growled at both of them, "Majority wins,"
I turned towards the group and introduced the former 'Bots to Magnus and Hatchet.
"Arcee, Smokescreen, Jolt, 'Bee, Bulkhead, Wheeljack," I said, pointing out each one.
Both medic and commander stared openly.
"All thanks to Jack's Legacy," I continued, "Dad okayed it. He said that if we get majority, not including him and Mom…everyone is going through with the party,"
"He did, did he?" Ratchet growled.
"That I did," I heard Dad say from behind us all.
We all turned…
Just in time to see Orion Darby walk through the door.
Dad's royal blue gaze was still as commanding as in his mech form, and it made the whole of the group go silent.
"Sir?" Magnus asked.
Dad nodded.
The commander sighed.
"If my Prime has decided to go through with this undertaking…then so will I," he said.
Jack went forwards…
And a man about in his late forties stood before us, dressed in military attire, his silver hair trimmed neatly. His blue eyes surveyed the group with that same stiffness that Magnus had.
Everyone then turned to Ratchet.
The medic's blue-green optics glinted darkly. He still didn't like the whole idea.
"Ratchet," Dad started, "Will you join us? We do not want you to be left by yourself…"
"And if I want to be left by myself?" the CMO growled.
Dad raised his eyebrows and Jack and I instantly backed up.
When Dad does that…it's normally not good.
Apparently Ratchet knew this as well.
"I…I…" he gave a vent of frustration, "Fine,"
A few seconds later…What looked like Ratchet's holoform stood before us. There were a few minor differences since the last time I had seen his holoform…
The last time I had seen it was when Ratchet still had his old lime yellow paintjob. His hair had been a sandy blond streaked with grey.
This time…his hair was a reddish orange again streaked with grey, and his eyes still carried that green tint to them from the Synth-En fiasco a few months ago.
I figured he'd have that color for the rest of his life.
"How much longer will I have to deal with this?" the CMO grumbled.
"When we get Fowler to ok the party and get the pool closed…" Miko started, "Then we can get the party started!"
"Um, guys?" Raf piped up, "I just remembered something…"
"What?" Sean asked.
"They don't have swimsuits…"
I facepalmed as Amber's eyes lit up.
"Guess that means a shopping trip!" she cheered.
This…would not end well.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jack POV
"Hey, Smokescreen," I whispered as Dusk was cornered by Amber about the shopping trip.
"What's up?" he asked, brushing his hair out of his eyes.
"I'm organizing a prank on Dusk…but I need everyone's help…" I started, "You in?"
The red head's eyes sparkled softly as a mischievous grin spread across his face.
"Oh yeah,"
So we have Smokey on board with Jack. This simply cannot be good. :)
Most people have 'Bee being able to talk through his holoform and such, but I think I actually like the idea of him still not being able to speak (thank God Raf knows sign language huh?) seeing as it creates a sorta problem (hence 'Bee freaking out a bit).
Jolt and 'Bee's look are on my Deviantart page (both 'Bee's Bayverse/seasons 1-2 and season 3 looks)
Next up is the shopping trip and like with SOTS...I'm accepting ideas! (Trust me, I'll need them!)
If you guys are ever wanting to use my stories to make spinoffs of your own, just let me know! Most likely I'll say yes. I've already gotten one spinoff (which is very good by the way) from WingedWolfAlari.
Anyway, hope you liked it. If you did, please R&R! :)
