Title: Spiraling Out of Control
Theme Set: Gestalt
Disclaimer: Still got nothing…
Warning: nothing new except some furniture abuse
A/N: As promised, this set is dedicated to the most closely knit team among the Autobot ranks: the Aerialbots (and Azure for giving us a glimpse into the lives of these jets.)… I apologize in advance for any screw-ups in their portrayal… that being said, please enjoy.
--Start--
#1 Habit
Concern had once conditioned them to rush in but now loud noises from Fireflight's quarters were met with "keep it down in there!"
#2 Late
Somehow Flight didn't think 'Bolt was going to be happy hearing that he'd lost track of the time 'cause he accidentally seduced his Wrecker – again.
#3 Compromise
The other jets returned to their hangar to find the triplechanger slumped outside their wingmate's door unable to just leave his lover while he was upset but honoring Flight's wish to be left alone.
#4 Helpful
Air Raid was forbidden from giving the couple suggestions after the incident 'Why Prowl Got New Handcuffs'.
#5 Politics
Somehow the Aerialbots knew Sandstorm had to be involved when Fireflight burst out giggling during a human news broadcast and they were right – the triplechanger had told the jet that the words "poly" meant "many" and "tics" were "loathsome bloodsucking creatures".
#6 Accomplice
Silverbolt suspected the orange mech's help was what was keeping his rambunctious teammates from getting caught in their pranking but wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
# 7 Opinion
Flight's smile was enough for the Aerials to rethink their views on Wreckers and triplechangers; surely anyone who could make the red jet so happy couldn't be all bad.
#8 Longing
"Bots in love were fools" – watching his wingmate with that Wrecker, Slingshot tried to ignore the part of him that wanted to be stupid too.
#9 Break
Sturdy as the Aerialbots' couch was, even it couldn't handle five amorous jets plus a triplechanger.
#10 Speed
Having been knocked over by the red blur streaking to the medbay, Skydive and Air Raid decided to keep quiet; they doubted anyone wanted to know it was possible to reach Mach 3 – bi-ped.
#11 Compete
Started as a means to while away the time, games of strategy and battle tactics between 'Dive and Sandstorm were now a common form of entertainment for all – now if only the red jet could decide who to cheer for.
#12 Nightmare
When Flight adamantly refused to recharge, the Wrecker resorted to lullabies and was gratified when they worked – too well; the four bodies pressed against the other side of the door made leaving impossible.
#13 Reflection
It was hard for Sling not to doubt Sandstorm; the Harrier could see the triplechanger's faults as clearly as if he was gazing at glass.
#14 Ban -
Never again was "High Speed Dirt" by Megadeth heard anywhere remotely near the Aerialbots after the orange Wrecker casually offered to acquaint a bot playing the song with its inspiration.
#15 Next
Having past the "Scare the Suitor" stage, the other Aerials combed through their memory banks and albums for embarrassing stories and photos of their beloved teammate to share with the triplechanger.
#16 Breakfast
With his processor miles away, Air Raid didn't realize, until he returned to the hangar from a morning energon run, that he had brought back six cubes.
#17 Discoveries
The Aerials were rather smug when they found out that pairing their honest teammate with the Wrecker prevented the triple' from cheating – which, sadly, came to an end when the red jet learned how to cooperate with his lover.
#18 Rest -
There was nothing like lounging with a cube of mid-grade and a history bookfile, 'Dive decided; he'd wonder about finding Sandstorm's property in his spacey teammate's quarters after he was done with it.
#19 Backup
About as frustrated as possible for a gestalt, Superion watched with satisfaction as Rumble and Frenzy were shot off him with pinpoint precision and, with a nod to the orange sniper, engaged the enemy once again.
#20 Tangle
Too tired to process –or even care about- the situation, both team commander and delinquent just plopped down; using the triplechanger's stomach as a foot rest and Raid's arm as a pillow, Sling slipped quickly into recharge and 'Bolt, with his cranial unit on the orange bot's wing, Dive's tail pressing into his thigh and Flight's leg on his chest, followed soon after.
--Notes—
#14 Ban - Idea comes from #35 on the Skippy List
The inspiration for High Speed Dirt is said to be a sky diver who didn't open his parachute and with lyrics like:
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I'm off to meet my maker
I doubt any plane would appreciate hearing the song…especially Silverbolt (poor acrophobic guy…)
#18 Rest - Inspired by a meme done by ajremix on her LJ :D
--End—
A/N: As with Strike Force, there are a number of sentences from the previous sets that can fit into this one; please feel free to reread them for more Aerialbot involvement in the SandyxFlight relationship :D
Please leave a review! Even if it's just to say "good job" or say "I like sentence/s #..." please let me know what you think. Suggestions for the next bunch would be welcome as well… I may be running out of plotbunnies…
