DISCLAIMER: I don't own Transformers: Prime or any of the characters and locations associated with the franchise. But I own the story "Stuck on You" and all references to dialogue not originating from Hasbro.
Author's Notes: I didn't expect to post a second chapter to this story, but with the unofficial addition of Wheeljack to the Autobot cast in Season Two, I couldn't resist. But this chapter will have to be revised. I wrote this in a hurry because the idea only came to me on April Fools' Day this year. Talk about cutting it close!
Timeline: Set sometime during Transformers: Prime episode "Loose Cannons," after Wheeljack obtains his Earth vehicle mode, but before he leaves the base to explore the planet. This takes place a few months after the first chapter.
Stuck on You
Chapter Two: Static Cling
Miko could not have been more excited when Wheeljack finally decided to stay on Earth for the time being. Sure, he was not staying with the rest of Team Prime, nor officially joining the group, but at least he was on the same planet.
Of course, this also meant that he would have to familiarize himself with the customs of her homeworld…
As one of the unofficial Human ambassadors to the Autobots, Miko would take it upon herself to give the ex-Wrecker a crash course on Human culture. She would have to tone down the hoax significantly, given that she no longer had the resources she had from the April Fools' prank from months ago.
Then again, there was only one victim this time around. She was sure she could handle it.
Wheeljack opted to remain at the base for a few days to catch up with Bulkhead and the other Autobots, which gave Miko some time to set up her plan. Unfortunately, her former accomplices were "too busy" to help this time around since the new school year had begun.
Miko had a feeling they just did not want to be caught and punished like last time.
As if that would stop her!
The opportunity she had been waiting for finally arrived when Wheeljack and Bulkhead came back to the outpost, with the former sporting a new alternate mode.
Perfect.
Hours after driving away from the Autobot outpost to explore the organic planet on which he had chosen to stay, at least for a short while, the ex-Wrecker noticed something on both of his legs after he had transformed back into his bipedal mode under the cover of darkness.
Wheeljack immediately went on alert, but relaxed just as quickly as he saw he was not being negatively affected. Scanning his own legs, which he knew to form the trunk of his alternate mode, there was some sort of thin vinyl covering them in the shape of Human-made grenades. They were not adhesive, merely clinging to the metal of his armor by static.
Well, he certainly did not remember attaching these decorations on himself.
"You got me good, for a Human."
Chuckling, he bent down to carefully peel off the thin adornments, though he appreciated the grenades they symbolized. The Human Wrecker had good taste.
…He missed the adhesive bumper sticker saying "If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?" that remained on his back. It would be some time before he found it.
Bulkhead had noticed what Miko had been doing, managing not to tip off his old friend, when his partner rode inside Wheeljack's sports car alternate mode and stored her belongings in his trunk.
"You're lucky that Jackie's a good sport."
"Really?"
"Yeah! He was the resident prankster within the Wreckers. Said it was supposed to raise morale, and raise morale he did."
"Awesome!"
"He'll most likely get you back, since you're an honorary Wrecker. It might not have been flashy, but depending on how long he doesn't notice those decals, you'll gain quite a bit of respect from him. You should have seen the jokes he pulled on the 'Cons…"
Ending Notes: Just like last time, those decals and bumper sticker actually exist.
