After a few days of rest, cuddles, and horrid-tasting medicine, Ricochet and Gadget recovered from their sickness. They were still a little sluggish, but overall they were okay now.
As soon as Ratchet finally cleared them from bedrest, little 'Che couldn't wait to play! She jumped up and ran off to grab her toy guns. Gadget sat on the couch waiting in anticipation, while Ratchet scowled at her.
"Ricochet easy!"
'Che didn't listen and ran back in, carrying the biggest toy gun she owned and aimed it at Gadget with a grin. Gadget's optics widened and he shuffled nervously as she edged closer. Ironhide was sat next to his nephew on the couch and watching with a smirk of pride. Ricochet cocked the gun and giggled, remembering what her dad said in the stories he told her of his many fearsome battles.
"Ya fweeling lucky, pwunk?" She said in an adorable little voice, making Ironhide laugh with a wide grin.
"That's my girl."
'Che beamed happily and ran at Gadg', prompting him to get up and run away at full speed. Little Gadgy ran as fast as he could, but 'Che was pretty fast herself and was gaining fast. Looking back, Gadg' saw his cousin about to tackle him with a sadistic grin.
"AHH! DADDY HELP!" He screamed and bolted into his berthroom, trying to slam the door. But not before Ricochet could follow him in and tackle him to the floor. No matter how hard he struggled he couldn't escape his cousin's death-grip.
"LET ME GO!" He pleaded.
Ricochet just giggled. "Na-ah. I gotcha now cous'".
"DADDY! COME SEE!" Ricochet called from Gadget's berthroom excitedly. Ironhide sighed, stood and walked down the hall. Once he neared, he heard his daughter laughing and giggling happily. Curiously, 'Hide pushed the door open and his optics widened in surprise.
Gadget was bound up with some kind of ducktape from helm to ped, including a strip covering his mouth so he couldn't scream for help. And to make it worse he was suspended from the ceiling by his peds. Upside down.
Ironhide looked at Gadget, then back down at Ricochet. "'Che.. Why?"
Ricochet grinned. "I caught the bad Decepticwon!"
After a moment, 'Hide emitted a small chuckle. "Decepticon eh?"
She nodded smugly and pushed Gadg' so he swayed a little. He mumbled angrily and struggled. 'Hide had no idea how she'd managed to hang him from the ceiling. It was quite funny though.
'Hide smirked. "Ya sure it isn't revenge for him tying you up?"
Ricochet tried to hide a cheeky little grin. "No.."
"Oh really?"
"Na-uh!" 'Che retorted. "Imma weapons spwecialwst like you daddy!"
Without even knowing it, Ironhide grinned widely with pride for his girl. He scooped her up, making her squeal in delight. She cuddled him happily and he held her close.
"Ya a mini-me 'Che." He chuckled, just as Ratchet walked past. He did a double-take and looked back in with wide optics at seeing his son tied up while 'Hide and his daughter were having a moment.
"RICOCHET!"
'Che looked at her uncle with a nervous smile. "Hiya uncwle Ratch'.."
Ratchet just grumbled and stomped in to get his kid down.
Mwahaha 'Che got her vengeance XD
