Feminine Side: Chapter 4
It was a lazy Saturday morning. Nothing was really going on. The Decepticons had been rather quiet since they rescued Ratchet. The kids were watching T.V. with Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead were training, Optimus was reading a datapad, and Ratchet was at the computer.
"Guess who?" A voice said as hands covered Ratchet's eyes.
"Wheeljack! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Ratchet said, somewhat annoyed, somewhat amused.
"Awww, don't be that way Doc. I just wanted to see how my favorite medic was doing. So, what are you doing anyways?" Wheeljack said with a smirk.
"I'm scanning for Decepticon activity. We need to be prepared in case they show up again."
"The Decepticons haven't done anything for days! They can wait a little longer. I want to be with you now. You haven't stopped working since we got back. A little break won't hurt."
"Yes it will. We need to be prepared. Also, I'm trying to figure out how to change myself back. We still haven't made any progress."
"It's a Saturday! No one wants to fight on a Saturday. Come on Sunshine! Just a quick little break?"
"No, and don't call me Sunshine."
"Okay. I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice." Then, Wheeljack scooped Ratchet up and started to carry him. They were about the same height, but as a femme, Ratchet was a lot smaller and lighter than Wheeljack.
"Wheeljack! What are you doing?! Put me down this instant! I've got work to do!"
"The work can wait. You and me are gonna take a little break, and you are going to like it."
"But-"
"No buts. It's Saturday, and nobody should work on a Saturday. So, we are gonna take a break. Who knows? Maybe you'll even enjoy it. Seriously, you're the only one I know who doesn't like to take a break or have a day off."
"Fine. But can you put me down? I promise I won't run away."
"You better not, or I might just have to tie you to a chair."
"Okay."
Then, Wheeljack set Ratchet down. They strolled down the halls of the base, just enjoying each other's company.
"You know, you and me don't get to spend much time together. You're always so busy working. I feel so lonely without you," Wheeljack said in a joking kind of way.
"Oh, just stop it," Ratchet replied.
"But what if I can't? You're so great. I really do like to spend time with you. I've always liked to spend time with you. That's why I was always hanging around you."
"And getting in my way. I'd be trying to do something and you'd be right there. I used to think you did that just to annoy me."
"Well, that may be part of it. But I was also trying to get you to notice me."
"I did notice you. You were always right there. It's difficult not to notice you."
"Awww, thanks. So my evil plan worked! First I get your attention, and then I steal your heart! Mwahahahaha! I am invincible!"
"You're such a goofball, you know that?"
"I know. But it makes you smile. I like to see you smile. It makes me happy."
"Thank you."
"So what do you wanna do?"
"I don't know. You decide. You're the one who yanked me away from my work."
"If I didn't, you'd be working for the rest of the day, without any breaks."
"No I wouldn't."
"Yes you would. I know you, and I know how much you hate taking breaks."
"Okay, fine. You got me. So what are we going to do?"
"Wanna make out?"
"Right here?"
"Why not? We're alone, and it's not like anyone would care."
"Fine."
Then Wheeljack took Ratchet in his arms and they started kissing, right in the middle of the hall. They weren't sure exactly how long they stayed like that, because time seemed to stand still. But, when they parted, they both felt very happy. They were happy to be together and be able to spend time with one another. They were just happy that they had each other, and no one could take that away from them.
"Hey, Docbot! Me and Bulk are going to a concert tonight, and I was wondering which shirt to wear. Should I wear the purple one, or the black one?" Miko asked Ratchet later that afternoon. She was holding up a black shirt and a purple shirt.
"Why are you asking me?" He replied.
"Because you're right here. And you're the only one I haven't asked yet."
"I don't know! Wear the black one. It matches better."
"Thanks Docbot! Maybe I should come to you for fashion tips more often!"
Wait a minute. Did I just give advice about clothes to Miko? What's happening to me? I'm starting to act like a girl! Great. Just what I need. Soon I'll be a total femme. Not just look like one, Ratchet thought to himself.
Then, Wheeljack walked by. Ratchet rushed over to him.
"Wheeljack! We've got to fix this now! I'm starting to act like a femme!" Ratchet said.
"Okay. What do you want to do though? We've tried everything! You know, you look hot as a femme. But, you also look really hot as a mech too. I really don't care what you look like. As long as you're you. So if it doesn't work out, I'll be okay," Wheeljack replied.
" But I won't. I want to be a mech again. Wait a minute, hot? That's it!"
"What's it?"
"I figured out how to fix this. Pouring water on the rock caused this, right?"
"Yeah, that's why we made sure not to get it wet."
"Well, what's the opposite of water?"
"Fire? Oh, I see! If we heat it up, it may change you back!"
"Exactly!"
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Then they headed for Ratchet's makeshift lab, where the rock was still sitting on the counter. Wheeljack turned on the burner on the left and stepped back. He didn't want anything to happen to him. Ratchet grabbed the rock and set it on the burner. There was another brilliant flash of light and the same strange whistling sound, and then everything went dark again.
When Ratchet woke up, Wheeljack was standing over him. "Wake up sleepy-head," he said.
"Did it work?" Ratchet asked.
"See for yourself." Wheeljack held up a mirror with a grin on his face. Ratchet looked into it, and saw that he was, in fact, back to normal. He was a mech again. A big grin stretched across his face.
"We did it 'Jack! I'm back!" Ratchet said, still smiling.
"No, you did it. I just helped. I love to see you smile. It looks so good on you. You should smile more often." Wheeljack smiled back. Then he pulled Ratchet into a hug and kissed him. "I still like kissing you. It isn't much different. You know, there's something I wanted to ask you."
"What is it 'Jack?"
"I've wanted to ask you this for a while. Ratch', will you bond with me?"
"Sure 'Jack. You know, I wanted to ask you the same thing."
"Well then, it's unanimous. Why don't we do it right know?"
"Sure. But let's go to my quarters first."
"Okay. Come on, let's go."
Then, they headed to Ratchet's quarters. And there, they got bonded. They spent the rest of the night together. And they were very happy.
The next morning, Wheeljack and Ratchet came out of Ratchet's quarters, and they both looked very happy.
"Okay, what happened?" Bulkhead asked, now curious.
~Do you want me to tell him?~ Wheeljack asked through their newly formed bond.
~I don't see why not. They're all going to find out anyways.~ Ratchet replied through the bond.
"Do you really want to know?" Wheeljack said.
"Uh, yeah! Of course I want to know. Why are you two so happy?" Bulkhead replied.
"Last night, me and the Doc got bonded."
"Wow! Really?"
Wheeljack nodded.
"That's great! I have to go tell the others. If that's okay with you guys?"
"It's fine Bulkhead," Ratchet replied.
"Cool! Hey everyone guess what!"
~Things sure are gonna be different, aren't they?~ Wheeljack said through their bond.
~Yeah. But we'll get through it,~ Ratchet replied.
~Together.~
~Together.~
Notes:
Awww, a happy ending. I just love happy endings. So, that's it! What did you think? I tried to keep the characters personalities the same. I worked really hard on this. So, did you like it? Leave me a review and let me know what you thought. But again, no hate.
