I have some awesome news! I got accepted to a college today! It's my second choice, and if my first choice doesn't accept, this is where I'll go next but hey! I still got accepted somewhere! :D So, in order to celebrate...I wrote another chapter for Halloween Hijinks!

As usual, I don't own Transformers: Prime. If I did, Prime would still be alive, Wave would get out of the Shadowzone, Arcee would have her final showdown with the Spider and the 'Bots would be with the kids as well. All I own are my OCs and the realm of Cybres.

Chapter 2

Amber POV

"A little to the left," Miko ordered, looking down at her guardian as he moved her up towards the ceiling, "More…more…hold it!"

And she taped a streamer into place.

"Perfect!" Miko chirped, "Now…lower me down Bulkhead,"

The green Wrecker gently lowered his servo until Miko hopped off nearly four feet from the ground.

"MIKO!" Bulkhead shouted, "You could have gotten hurt!"

"I'm fine Bulk," Miko sighed, "It's just four feet, no need to have a spark attack,"

"I think Ratchet's going to have the spark attack," a low voice said from behind the three of us.

Miko turned around and broke into a smile.

"Hi Ultimus, what's up?" she asked.

The younger Prime looked at the room.

"What's up is that I don't want to be you two when Ratchet sees this," he smirked, "He's going to hit the roof!"

"Aw, he doesn't worry me," Miko snorted.

Ultimus looked at her.

"Miko…I think he's right," I started, "Ratchet's a fuddy-dud,"

"He'll live,"

"You two are going to get in so much trouble," the young Prime sighed, "Bulkhead…I'd suggest you run outta here as fast as you can,"

"Jeeze, you're just a big a stick in the mud as the Hatchet!" I whined.

"Whatever," Ultimus sighed, starting to walk out, "I'm getting out while I still can,"

"You know…I think that Arcee's right on one thing," Miko whispered.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Primes start to lose their sense of humor as they age,"

"I dunno," I started, "Dusk seems to be more playful and fun as she gets older,"

"Yeah, but she's not technically a Prime…she's an Iv…what's that word again?"

"Ivorra," I answered, "Hmmm, you're right….guess its just a Prime thing,"

"WHAT IN THE ALL SPARK ARE THESE!?" Ratchet shrieked.

"Umm, well, they're decorations…" Miko started.

There was a loud sparking sound and Ratchet…get this…he keeled over!

Bulkhead looked a little nervous…and he back out of the room.

"When he wakes up…he ain't gonna be happy," Bulkhead whimpered right before he bolted.

"Coward!" Miko shouted.

I looked nervously at the glitched out Ratchet and then the door.

"Miko…" I started, "I think he's got the right idea…"

Dusk POV

"Did you see what those two did to the main hall?" I asked Jack as he looked up at me from his homework.

"Yep, and I also warned them that Ratchet would hit the roof when he found out," he shrugged.

"Who'd you warn them as?" I asked, closing an eye.

"Put it this way…those two are starting to think Ultimus Prime is acting more like Optimus every day,"

"Called you a stick in the mud, huh baby brother?" I smirked.

He looked at me, slightly annoyed.

"Yeah, they did,"

Suddenly, Amber and Miko sprinted into the room.

"Ratchet…decorations…glitched…" Amber gasped.

I started laughing.

"Didn't Ultimus tell you that it was a bad idea to put the decorations up?" I asked.

"Didn't…care…" Amber groaned, leaning on me for support, "Now…I do,"

I heard the purr of an engine roll into Base…and Jolt came to a gentle stop not too far from the platform.

Ben stepped out of the blue medic's alt and waved.

"Greetings Programs!" he grinned.

"Who you callin' Program, Program?" I replied back, unable to keep a smile off my face.

"So…any more hints on what your costume is?" Miko asked innocently.

"I already gave you a hint," Ben smirked, "Besides…its more fun to see you worry over it,"

"I would have said he was the devil to Dusk's angel," Jack quipped.

I laughed, "Yeah, I can see those horns,"

Ben pouted.

"Aw, come on, Dusk, that ain't fair," he said while Jolt started snickering.

"I'll give you a clue to his," I said, ignoring Ben's glare, "The movie he's coming from had a reboot in the 2000s…"

"That's just as bad as his hint!" Miko groaned.

Jack tapped his pencil against his cheekbones, eyes looking up in his concentration.

Suddenly, they flashed bright electric blue.

"I think I know it," he said over bond.

"And?" I asked.

"Superhero?"

"Nope! Good guess though, I think that's what Dad's doing…and Mom's going to be his reporter love interest…I think,"

"That'll be interesting,"

Miko gave an exasperated sigh.

"I still don't know," she pouted, "Gimme another!"

"Heck no!" Ben cried, "You've exceeded your one hint per day quota…see ya!"

And he started down the stairs.

"Wait up Ben," I called, "You still need me to work with the d…"

I froze as he pinned me with a cold, green glare.

"Weapon," I corrected myself, "Need help with the weapon,"

He waited as I came towards him and he held out his arm.

"Let's go," he grinned, "Costume's not going to make itself!"

"Got that right," I agreed as Miko and Jack started in on fighting over what Ben's costume was.

"Figured out what Jack's costume was yet?" Ben asked.

"So he's playing that game too huh?" I asked.

"He thinks its fun," Ben shrugged, "I am kinda curious though…couldn't you just scan his mind and…"

"No," I stated bluntly, "Ben you know I hate doing that,"

"You're not a freak," he murmured, taking my hand, "Not to me,"

I gave a soft smile.

"So…what do you think it is?" I asked him.

"Dunno, maybe an astronaut since he still has the suit Fowler gave him…I think," Ben shrugged, "Maybe he'll be a knight or something,"

I frowned, realizing what Jack might do.

"What is it?" Ben asked.

Oh, Mom and Dad are going to have a fit! I hope and pray he's not gonna do what I think he's gonna do.

"Dusk?" Ben repeated, "You ok?"

"Fine," I said, shaking my head, "Just a dumb idea of what the costume might be,"

"And that is?"

"A…ghost," I lied, "I thought he'd put on the bed sheet and cut a few holes in it,"

"C'mon, Dusk, give the boy some credit!" Ben laughed, drawing me closer, "Jack's got a quick and creative mind…he'll think of something,"

"That's what I'm afraid of," I murmured so low that Ben couldn't hear me.

So far, I've gotten a ton of ideas for costumes, but I still need more! No one's agreed on something for anyone...but I now have Prime and Elita's costumes (as mentioned above, credit to cartoons and anime for the Superman idea) And...only one person has been able to guess Ben's costume correctly (You know who you are ;) ) Ben & Dusk will be dropping hints hopefully with every chapter. Some will be obvious, some won't. They'll integrate sayings from the movie(s) into his dialogue and such.

Anyway, hope you liked it. If you did, please R&R! :)
