Everything was in its place and the med bay was quiet. No twins coming in to get repaired after having tried to blow the base up, no bots coming in as a result of a war injury or a poorly timed prank from either Sunny or Sides. No one to darken the doors of the med bay, especially since Ratchet had gotten mad at the twins and had turned them into medical supply cabinets as their punishment, and allowed those two cabinets to hold some of the nastiest medicines that Ratchet kept around the med bay. But what had started all this? Well –

Pink. The room was pink, a bright neon awful pink, from a paint bomb Sunny and Sides had set to go off in the med bay, but just as soon as it was there, it was gone. Ratchet smiled. He knew just who to go after, even as he took down the cover he had placed over the real room, but made it look like the real room enough that it had even fooled the dumb tricksters known as Sunny and Sides. He had threatened them so many times, now it was finally time to make them take their punishment. And so, with his sparkmate Red Alert's (G1) help, Ratchet set up a trap to catch Sunny and Sides.

Sunny and Sides were monitored by Ratchet and Red for some days until their habits became predictable. And with that information, plus some blackmail information that Red had shown his mate Ratchet, Ratchet knew exactly how to capture the two idiots, and even pulled Prowl and his sparkmate Jazz is on it, as Prowl was just as sick of those two as Ratchet was. And so with Prowl, Jazz, Red Alert, and Ratchet all onboard, it was only a matter of time before the two troublemakers were caught. And after Prowl studied the twins habits and how their pranks worked, the table was set, and now it was time to capture the twins.

ib BOOM! /b/i

A pink bomb went off in the hall, just as the twins were walking through, turning both Sunny and Sides a lovely shade of pastel pink, before another mechanism came out of nowhere and placed a bow on top of each one's helms. Not realizing how silly and feminine they looked, Sunny, who was moaning and groaning about his paint job, and his twin Sides, who was just plain whining, walked into the recreation room. And as they walked through they could not help but notice that all the mechs and femmes were staring and pointing at the two. But the two just looked at each other and shrugged, as they were used to being stared at by others, but when Sunny passed by a mirror like object, he froze. Not only were their paint jobs pastel pink, their helms had bows in them, usually reserved for sparkling femmes. And to top it all off, with the wrenches that had appeared, their bodies had been changed to look more femme like, though they still looked mech enough that everyone knew who they were.

And, if that was not bad enough, they had run right into Prowl, who took one look at them and threw them into the brig, as acted as if they had gotten on the wrong ends of their own pranks. And since Prowl was not much for emotion, it was easy for the SIC to keep a straight face when punishing the bots for something he knew that they did not do. And so Prowl led the two to the brig and threw them in, before disappearing. The twins looked at each other, as it was not uncommon to end up in the brig, but this day, nothing made sense. And things became even more bizarre for the twins when Ratchet showed up in the brig to pick the two up. Sunny and Sides just looked at each other, wondering if things could get any worse, and oh yes, they were going to get worse.

Ratchet brought the two to his med bay in cuffs. And after a wrench spanking, which damaged both Sunny and Sides' afts, Ratchet had a look in his optic that spelled out danger, but the twins had nowhere to run.

"I have threatened you enough and you have never learned. Now it is time to turn that threat into a reality, at least until I decide otherwise." Ratchet stated in a very cold manner.

Sunny and Sides were nervous, just what did he mean. Ratchet grabbed both the twins and put them into stasis mode. And while they were in stasis mode, Ratchet used the time to turn both onto medicine cabinets and placed them in a off the wall spot, in order to hold medications that Ratchet hated leaving out, as they were foul smelling and tasting.

When the twins awoke, they found themselves unable to move or speak. Oh, their processors and sensors were still online, but the only bots that they could talk to was each other through their own bond as twins. Ratchet smile at the cabinets, well aware that the twins could see him smirking at them. And to top it off, Prowl called Red Alert, Prowl, and Jazz into the room and showed them where he hung his newest cabinets, still colored in the awful pick color, perfect for storing femme medical stuff. Red Alert, the security director, smiled in relief. Prowl simply nodded and Jazz outright laughed. IT was too good. Yes, Optimus might not like it for the time being, but it was a punishment that hopefully would deter the twins from pulling any more pranks, as Ratchet kept his word of turning the two into med cabinets.

Sunny and Sides groaned, but it went unnoticed, as Ratchet threw a couple wrenches at the med cabinets so that they resembled the others around the room, all having suffered from Ratchet's fits or the twins pranks. And seeing that things were quiet, Ratchet and the others left the med bay. Sunny and Sides were aghast at what had happened, but things were about to get worse, as First Aid came into the room, and seeing the new cabinets found a perfect spot for something he was looking to place. The twins were not aware of it, but even First Aid was in on the joke, and was waiting for just this moment to get back at the twins after they had tried to repaint his quarters neon pink. And with that in mind, First Aid placed a foul smelling object in the cupboard. Both Sunny and Sides nearly choked as the stench was so bad, but there was nothing that they could do about it.

Meanwhile, as they were locked in as Cabinets, Red Alert played some of the blackmail tape he had, and even the twins could see it and hear it, but could not react. Sunny and Sides were shocked as Red Alert showed the two interfacing with something that they should not have. They were also embarrassed as one camera had captured the two sleeping – Sunny with his thumb in his mouth like a human infant and Sides having a dream that was causing him to play with his own cable. Needless to say, the twins were learning that you could only push someone so far before they would get back at you….

Three different bots awoke suddenly, two with horror going down their spinal units and one with a great big shit-eating grin.

The twins looked at each other and then down at themselves and found, to their relief that they were still their regular colors and that they were still in robotic forms, but having been scared by the whole nightmare, the two decided to snuggle together, in hopes that the nightmare would not return.

Meanwhile, Ratchet woke up with a smile on his face. Only Prime's orders stopped the medic from actually carrying through the threat he had said so many times. Ratchet could only hope that maybe someday when the war ended that his perfect dream could come true. And with that thought in mind, Ratchet rolled over in berth, cuddled his mate Red Alert, and fell back asleep. Ah yes, should that day ever come, it would be a good day for all those aboard the ark.
