Hello to all… I'm writing this in the computer lab… Mwaha… well, I've gotten tired of a certain FLAMESTRIKE driving me absolutely INSANE… sooo, I've decided to risk my school computer privileges to bring you chapter three of this fic! ^___^  *sighs* anyway, I've only got 40 minutes here, so this MIGHT take a while… I am starting this on the 9th. Lets hope I can get it done before I turn 20… ^_~ ALLLLLLRIGHTY! ONWARD WE GO!!!!

Chapter Three

Caitlin barreled up the stairs to her room, her trusty blue backpack in hand. As quickly as she could, she stuffed some necessities into her bag: her CD's, her CD player, a camera (blackmail, of course), and a bottle of aspirin… because she felt she would DEFINETLY need it in the coming week. She then tore downstairs, and told her mom she would be gone that night because she would be sleeping over at her friend's house. Grudgingly, she let her go, and so the 16 year old met Alexis. She was standing outside, the trans-accelerator in hand. Quickly, they warped back to the Armada dimension.

When the two girls returned to the base, they found everything in disarray. In a far off room, she could hear the young, youthful laughter of the babies and the shouts of the two 6th grade boys that were trying to stop them.

Cait sighed. "We leave them for FIVE MINUTES and all hell breaks loose. Why am I NOT surprised…?"

The other girl also sighed heavily. "Well, might as well rescue them while Rad and Carlos are still conscious…"

The two agreed, and went to find the chaos. Within a five-second sprint, they had found one of the rooms badly demolished, with the two said boys trying their best to stop the eight, tall, baby Transformers from trashing anything else. Cait and Alexis watched with both amusement and pity as the five foot tall Smokescreen crashed into Carlos in his attempt to tag one of the other bots.

"Oi vey…" the older girl sighed. "THIS is gonna be a fun week…"

"Hey! Guys! Hel-!" Crash! Rad was sent flying into Carlos unwittingly by Blurr, who sped off and tagged Hotshot.

That did it. The two girls then burst explosively into laughter, drawing the bruised and battered kids' attention.

"Alexis!" Rad squeaked plaintively. "Caitlin! Thank God! Please help!"

"Suuure… anyone got a whistle?"

The other three humans shook their heads. "Fine. This works too…" Putting two of her fingers to her mouth, she whistled as loudly as possible. The bots all stopped instantaneously, and looked their way.

Carlos and Rad stared. "…I could to that, you know," the darker skinned boy told them matter-of-factly, which resulted in skeptical and un-amused glances from the others.

"Well, what now? I've got them calm for the moment…"

Carlos shouted out frantically, "Have 'em take a nap! I can't take no more a' their games!"

Caitlin sighed and looked out at the group of assembled Chibi Transformers. "Okay, I hate to break up your fun, you guys, but we need you all to take a nap for a while."

There was a collective groan that rose up from the bots, and some of them even looked like they were on the verge of mutiny…

**POV CHANGE**

I put my hands on my hips and thought for a while. 'Okay, my mom teaches kindergarten… soo…' Out loud, in a kind voice, I told them, "You all need your rest or else you could get hurt. After you take your nap you can all play as much as you want, okay?"

The bots perked up and some of them smiled. I sighed with a bit of relief at that, but I could plainly see that Hotshot, Sideswipe, Jetfire, Smokescreen, and Scavenger STILL had no intention of ending their own fun.

"Hottie dun wanna!" the young yellow mech said stubbornly, forcefully crossing his arms and making a pouty face.

"Aww, come on!"

"No no no! No nap for Hottie!"

I sighed. "Well……."

That's when I noticed Oppie shift from one foot to the other and then step forward, towards the four of us humans. "Oppie nap," he said a bit grudgingly, but understood that he had to. He then turned around to the rest of his baby-fied comrades and cleared his throat.

At that, Blurr and RedAlert stepped forward. They too turned to look at the last five bots, who, after a bit of scowling and glaring, relinquished their view point on the matter.

The two beat up boys sighed in relief after that. "Thank GOD…"

"One problem," I said to them. "just exactly WHERE are they going to sleep?"

"Uhh…." A light bulb went off in Carlos' head. "I know! Rad and I can set up those mattresses! You and Alexis just lead 'em to the rec room!"

I exchanged glances with the brown-haired girl next to me. "Sure, now THAT I can do…"

"Alright then, lets get going."

**POV CHANGE**

Rad and Carlos ran down the large corridor to the recreation room, while Caitlin and Alexis started to lead the baby bots to that room as well.

"So…" Alexis began as they trekked down that hall, the bots miraculously quiet and calm. "You said you had friends that would love to help… do you think that they could come?"

Caitlin thought about this for a while. If her hunch was right, she had four… maybe five friends that would be more than happy to help. "Well… yeah, if I can get a hold of them…"

"Oh…"

But that was no concern to her. Tim, Brent, and Sally were frequently online; she could IM them with the computer code almost at her leisure. And then Sarah… she could PM her on Seibertron.com if she so desired. She wanted to IM the other Sara, but feared her hatred of a certain Thrust would be a bit hard to control… She would be a 'last resort'…. "…well, when we get these bots down for a nap, I think I could go back to my dimension and contact them. Ya think you could watch some napping bots for about …oh, twenty minutes?"

Alexis looked a bit apprehensive. "…that long?"

"Ah, don't worry; the way those mechs were playing they'll be out for MUCH longer than that."

"Yeah, I guess you're right…"

The two girls, followed by the bots in question, reached the room. "Alright then you guys," 'Lex said to them after turning around at the door. "In you go, we'll be here with you when you nap, okay?"

The mechs nodded and started walking in, one my one. Caitlin couldn't help but grin at the wary look Carlos gave Smokescreen as he entered, and after the seventh bot, she and Alexis also went inside. That's when the two heard Carlos give another surprised shout.

"Ahh! Help me man!"

She, Alexis, and Rad snapped around to see the last bot to enter, Hotshot, huggling the said boy like a stuffed toy.

Hotshot smiled his trademark grin. "Teddy-bot!!" he chirped happily, not seeming to notice Carlos' struggling.

The other three just stared for a while, and, after a second or two, they burst out into explosive laughter.

"Dude! This ain't funny! Gak! HELP MAN!" Hotshot had tightened his grip on the skateboarder and cuddled in again.

'Duel Mistress K' sighed. "Alright, alright…" she stopped to hide the giggles that rose from her mouth. "Hotshot, can you put Carlos down?"

He tilted his head questioningly. "Why ?"

"Well… he isn't like you… and you're hurting him when you do that…"

The yellow baby gasped. "Me no hurt! No no no!" With that, he gently set him down and watched with earnest, innocent concern. "Me no want hurt friend!"

'Jeez…' Cait thought. 'He sounds like Grimlock!'

Carlos inhaled air deeply, regaining his color (which had been just a tad blue…), and looked back up at Hotshot. 'S'cool dude. I'll be okay."

Hotshot smiled in elation and rose back up to his feet. "Yays!"

Carlos grinned at his display of happiness and chuckled. "Alright, now that that's done, ya mind layin' down for a nap?"

Hotshot was happy to oblige and scampered off to the last available mattress, quickly laying down and nodding off. In about ten minutes' time, all eight of the Transformers were asleep.

The four humans snuck out of the room and walked out of hearing distance. "WHEW! I can't BELIEVE that taking care of kids was so hard!" Carlos exclaimed, sitting down against the wall and sliding to the ground, clearly exhausted.

That's when Alexis looked to Cait. "So, are you gonna go and bring your friends?"

The older girl sighed. "Might as well…" she started to head towards the exit of the base. "This'll take about half an hour tops."

Carlos interrupted. "W-wait… Half an hour? Alone? With THEM?!"

She rolled her eyes. "Look, they'll be asleep for a while, so don't panic."

He opened his mouth a few times in protest, but nothing came. "…fine. Just hurry up. I don't want to have… THAT happen again…"

"Believe me, It WONT happen. I'll be back before they wake up, uhh… former girl scouts' honor!" she gave a silly salute, which got the three kids to chortle a bit.

With another goodbye, Caitlin left the base to go seek out her friends.

Reinforcements were coming.
