Disclaimers: in the first chapter.
The next morning...
AirStrikeTF came back into the computer room, looking tired but happy. "One performance down, two to go..."
"Food... I need food." Chaos groaned as she stumbled her way into the computer room.
"Oh, hey Chaos." AirStrikeTF waved to her apprentice and then giggled. "I had a lot of fun in the Nutcracker last night. I have two more performances today."
Chaos nodded her head and collapsed in her seat. "Then we should get back to work so it doesn't bother you later."
"Okay. Any more rules from our Cybertronian friends?"
"None from mine." Chaos said as she checked her datapad. "How about yours? Do they have any rules?"
"I'll take a look." AirStrikeTF looked at her computer and found a few new inter-dimensional e-mails. "Got some! The first one's from G1 Red Alert."
"Oh lovely, what is it?"
"Let's see... 'I would like to make a rule that the Dimension-Walkers are NOT to take a portal into my Security Office WITHOUT EXPLICIT PERMISSION!' And yes, he did do that last part in all capital letters."
Chaos sniggered.
"Cybertronian Rule Number 3: I would like to make a rule that the Dimensional-Walkers are NOT to take a portal into my Security Office WITHOUT EXPLICIT PERMISSION!"- G1 Red Alert
(Oh Red, when will you learn that sometimes, we don't have control over where our portals pop up.)
(I know, right? I mean, even I get my portal locations mixed up sometimes! I've been to a lot of places, okay?)
(The best thing that you can do Red, is to set up some sort of safe zone for our portals and we'll try to aim them their.)
(Yep. That's probably the best solution.)
(It's the only thing that he can do.)
"Okay, the next one is from TFP Ratchet." AirStrikeTF looked at her computer, reading the message in her head.
"Oh lovely, what does he want?"
"Okay, here's the rule. 'When Dimension-Walkers take a portal into the base, NEVER use the Groundbridge tunnel! If you do, YOU have to fix the Groundbridge!' Sheesh, harsh much?"
"Cybertronian Rule Number 4: When Dimension-Walkers take a portal into the base, NEVER use the Groundbridge tunnel! If you do, YOU have to fix the Groundbridge!" - TFP Ratchet
(AirStrike! What did we do to their Groundbridge?!)
(I think the energy from our portal fritzed out the Groundbridge, from what I could get from Optimus when I asked him why Ratch' was flippin' out last time we visited.)
(Oops.)
(Yep. Let's try aiming for the human platform next time, okay?)
(Okay. We'll try aiming for that now.)
"Okay, here's the last of the messages from our Cybertronian friends so far. It's from TFA Jazz." AirStrikeTF glanced over at ChaosDancer12, a smirk on her face.
"What does he want?"
"Let's see... 'When Dimension-Walkers come to our dimension, PLEASE don't bring anymore rap music!' Okay, that one wasn't meant for me, I don't think. I hate rap too. I wonder who..."
''Cybertronian Rule Number 5: When Dimension-Walkers come to our dimension, PLEASE don't bring anymore rap music!'' - TFA Jazz
(I hate it too but Sari blackmailed me into bringing some with me!)
(Yeah... let's not do that from now on.)
(Okay.)
"Now, do you have any rules that you can think of right now?"
"Yeah, I just got one from all of the Ratchet's, apart from Shattered Glass... 'Don't even think about helping a certain Walker escape her check-ups, we will find you and it will not be pretty.' -Ratchets."
''Cybertronian Rule Number 6: Don't even think about helping a certain Walker escape her check-ups, we will find you and it will not be pretty.'' - All of the Ratchets apart from Shatttered Glass Ratchet.
(Yeah, Chaos, you're on your own. I actually behave for the Ratchets, so I'm not going to get on their bad side.)
(I know that, but if they stopped with their full blown medic modes then I might start attending my check-ups with them.)
(I'll be sure to tell them that.)
(Thanks.)
"Well, any other rules, Chaos?" AirStrikeTF looked over at her friend with a curious expression, one eyebrow raised slightly.
"No. My inbox is empty."
"Can you think of any that would be for our own safety?"
"I think that I can but I need some time to think about them."
"Okay."
"Have you got any?"
"Yep. Here, I'll type it up." AirStrikeTF turned to her computer, and started typing.
''Rule Number 12: ALWAYS be prepared for an explosion when in the Science Wing of the Ark in G1. I assure you, it most likely WILL happen.''
(If you love to see things go boom, then watch using the monitors in the security room, Wheeljack's explosions are dangerous and the reason that he's lived this long is because of Ratchet.)
(Yep. Also, as a side note, Wheeljack's explosions have also been known to cause adverse side effects in areas such as age, gender, and species.)
(I don't think that neither of us will forget the time he turned the twins into sparklings, Pixie went berserk and Ratch' had to sedate her in order to stop her from beating up Wheeljack.)
(Or that time Sunstreaker pretty much got stuck doing a one-bot daycare for the entire Ark while he simultaneously tried to figure out how to reverse-engineer the explosion that turned everyone else into sparklings. I seriously felt sorry for him when I saw him close to crashing into stasis from taking care of everyone by himself.)
(Yeah, me too and do you remember when Megatron attacked the Ark after everyone had been turned into sparklings and poor Sunstreaker was awoken by the noise and he had only been in recharge for one hour?)
(Yeah, and that's probably going to be the basis for another rule. Here, I'll type it up.)
''Rule Number 13: NEVER wake up Sunstreaker when he hasn't had much sleep lately! You WILL be mauled!''
(Badly, and Sideswipe and Pixie won't be able to save you.)
(Especially if the two of them were turned into sparklings, and Sunstreaker is the only adult in the Ark.)
(Yep!)
(Yeah... that didn't end well for Megatron, did it...)
(Nope!)
(As I recall, he was in the Decepticon ICU for three weeks, correct?)
(Yes, he was.)
(Wasn't Starscream stuck in there with him?)
(Yes, but he was less injured, he lorded it over Megatron for weeks since he was sensible enough to know when to flee.)
(Yeah. I'm guessing that Megatron seriously tried to terminate him after that, didn't he?)
(Oh, Screamer ran for it the moment that Megatron got out of the Decepticons ICU.)
(Isn't he still looking for him?)
(Yeah, he is.)
(Well, at least the Autobots are getting a break from raids and attacks on their base for a while, eh?)
(They are.)
(And what was Red Alert's reaction when he got back to being an adult and found out about Sunstreaker singlehandedly defeating an attacking Decepticon force?)
(He was pretty shocked about it and he crashed.)
(And after the while fiasco was over, Sunstreaker literally slept for three weeks.)
(Yeah, he did.)
"Rule number 14: If Pixie has a Kaon accent when she speaks Cybertronian, then RUN! It means that she's angry and you do not want to see what she can do when she's angry!"
This also goes for when Sunstreaker's optics go pure white. It means that he got angry enough that his personality programming glitch triggered his Gladiator programming, and that something and someone is most likely going to be destroyed.)
(And may Primus help you if you get BOTH of them mad for the same reason.)
(Yep. Also, there are some other rules that pertain to the Autobots and their tempers. They will be listed soon.)
"Rule Number 15: When in ANY Transformers universe, NEVER insult Sunstreaker when Prowl is within hearing range, or insult Prowl when Sunstreaker is within hearing range. And Sunny has pretty keen audios. Remember, ALL Prowls know Cybertronian martial arts, and ALL Sunstreakers used to be Kaonian Gladiators and WILL maul you if you bad-mouth his Praxian."
(G1 Cliffjumper once said that Prowl was a sparkless drone, but wasn't careful enough to make sure that Sunstreaker didn't hear him. In fact, the minibot literally yelled it at the SIC. We all know how THAT ended.)
(AirStrike, we were there, we both know how that ended, he was lucky that Sides and Pixie were on a mission, because they are very protective of their favourite future brother-in-law.)
(Yep.)
"Rule Number 16: When in ANY Transformers universe, NEVER flirt with or force Pixie to do anything that she does not want to do, unless you're Sideswipe because you can get away with it and you know her limits, when Sunstreaker is around, because he will become a overprotective big brother and he WILL maul you, allow Pixie to hit you a few times and then he'll tell Sideswipe about what you did and then, he'll tell the rest of the family about what you did."
(That poor, poor, neutral mech, may his pride rest in peace...)
(Yep. I don't even wanna THINK about what Sunstreaker did to him!)
(What Sideswipe did to him was a lot worse and he's supposed to be the nicer twin...)
(Well, remember, Sideswipe is very imaginative when it comes to punishing people.)
(And he gets even more creative when it involves Pixie.)
(Yep.)
(We even got to help and it was fun!)
(I know right?)
(Oh, I won't forget the guy's face when he got what he deserved, it was priceless! And Ratch' helped out too!)
(And boy did he love every second of it!)
(It's gonna be a while before that mech will be able to show his face around here again.)
(Indeed.)
"Rule number 17: NEVER mess with Sunstreaker's art supplies! You will be severely mauled!
(And we do not talk about the idiots who disobeyed this rule. NEVER!)
(Indeed. The only thing we are allowed to say about them is that they are no longer able to even THINK about messing with his art stuff. Because they're dead.)
(Yeah, dead...)
(I know better than to mess with Sunny's art supplies... wait... WHAT'S CLIFFJUMPER DOING WITH SUNSTREAKER'S PAINTBRUSH!?)
(Oh no, Pixie's napping on a couch nearby!)
(SOMEONE STOP HIM!)
(Get ready to run AirStrike, we need to alert Ratch' that he's gonna get a patient soon. *Deep breath* PIXIE! CLIFFJUMPER CALLED SUNSTREAKER A TRAITOR, PROWL A SPARKLESS DRONE, SIDESWIPE A IDIOT AND A BRUCH OF OTHER THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY AND HE'S GOT SUNNY'S PAINTBRUSH!
Okay, time to get Ratchet, she's up and she's mad!)
(RUN RUN RUN! RUN TO THE MED BAY!)
(Wait for me!)
(We'll be back for the next rule after this! Sorry, guys!)
(Bye, and we'll see you in the next chapter! AirStrike, hurry up! I think that she's moved onto tearing his limbs off!)
(RATCHET!)
