AN: More pranks! And more revenge for pranks you may or may not have seen. But I'll have to tell you about them anyways if just for my amusement…
"Remind me why we volunteered to help you with this Rumble?" Skywarp and Frenzy didn't seem to like that they had got the job of carrying.
"Because it will be funny. And you guys can come and see the results of this when they wake up."
"Why do you hate Astrotrain so much?" Skywarp didn't seem to get that.
"Because…" Rumble knew the reason but he would rather not tell the others.
"Don't tell me, you have a crush on Arcee." Frenzy hoped his brother would deny it outright which meant that he spoke the truth.
"Frenzy! I told you not tell everyone that!" Frenzy wasn't expecting that answer.
"Shhhhh. Do you want to wake up Blitzwing?" Skywarp whispered at them as if that would make him sleepy if he had been woken up.
"Oops. Sorry." Frenzy didn't mean to speak loudly about it or wind up his brother.
"If we get this set up they are so not going to hear the end of this." Rumble seemed happier now. Astrotrain and Blitzwing were not going to like this one bit…
Next morning…
Did Arcee come in here yesterday? I don't remember that… I don't remember us cuddling either… Astrotrain still had his eyes shut and was pondering who he had his arms around, secretly hoping it was Arcee.
"Hey! Astrotrain get off me! What if your girlfriend sees this?" Astrotrain quickly opened his eyes when he heard Blitzwing's voice. He then realised who was cuddling him and instantly began to pull back. They both however realised that they couldn't.
"People can't see this; we have a rep to maintain!"
"How are we going to get out of this? Why won't you let go?" Astrotrain seemed to be getting annoyed.
"I can't! I think someone has handcuffed me. I don't see you making any attempt to let go either!" Blitzwing had just as foul a temper as Astrotrain did.
"This is so not funny!" Astrotrain tried to move backwards but realised he also must have his hands cuffed together when it didn't help. "Didn't this happen to two of the kids in the first year?"
"I think I preferred it when we weren't the two made to cuddle…"
"Anything you two would like to share with the rest of Iron dorm?" Rumble sniggered causing the two triple changers to look at the door and then turn red. All of Iron dorm was looking at them.
"Don't suppose you'll want these…" Rumble held out what looked like keys and Blitzwing just twigged what they were for.
"LET US OUT OF HERE!"
"No way! You'll have to come and get the keys if you want them." Rumble knew the pair of them would look funny walking so he purposely stood still and waved the keys at them.
"I'll take those." Arcee took the keys from Rumble's hands then went to let Blitzwing out.
"Don't do that! They ain't worth it!" Arcee however ignored his plea and removed the handcuffs from Blitzwing. It didn't take him long to let go of Astrotrain and flee out the door, much to everyone else's amusement.
"What about me?" Arcee moved close to Astrotrain then whispered something.
"I let you out on one condition."
"Which is?"
"You kiss me."
"But everybody is watching…"
"If that bothers you so much then…" Arcee didn't get to finish speaking, Astrotrain pushed his lips against hers; he got the impression he was going to like what she was going to say. He pulled his head back and she undid the cuffs around his hands. Just after that they both heard a bunch of wolf whistles.
"Astrotrain makes himself out to be tough but he ain't." Rumble however still thought it might be a bad idea to pick a fight with him.
"He's a wuss!" Megatron pointed out and the other first years couldn't help giggling.
"I'M NOT A WUSS!"
"No you're not. You are however a sweetheart. And I love you." Arcee seemed to get the impression that she shouldn't have said that.
"Aren't you going to tell your sweetheart that you love her too?" Rumble could tell this was annoying Astrotrain. He wasn't going to hear the end of this anyway so he figured… I might as well not care what they think.
"I love you too Arcee." The less mature first years sniggered when he said that.
"Definitely a wuss." Rumble then got the impression that the group should leave them alone.
"Oh and if anyone wants to see the images I'll make sure to send you them!" Astrotrain growled; people weren't going to leave him alone about this for a while…
"Those first years have gone too far this time!"
"I agree with you Astrotrain, those first years are worse than all of our years put together…" Blaze thought that some of the first years clearly thought they were better than they actually were.
"We need to get them back for gossiping about us!" Blaster figured since someone had been spreading rumours in the first year it would be known by the whole school.
"Is this gossip true? We heard that you two had interfaced." Powerglide seemed convinced otherwise when the pair of them looked shocked.
"NO WAY!" Aquabolt shrieked; she didn't like the thought that someone spread lies like that.
"Do I look like I would break the rules?" Blaster convinced everyone else, the only kind of detentions he'd been on were class detentions.
"Has Chromia been saying stuff about you too?" Blaze asked.
"No Frenzy has, wait what's Chromia been saying?" Aquabolt was confused.
"Not just saying." Dirge clearly was annoyed about this.
"She had an image of us two and she's been showing it to everyone in first year with a similar idea Aquabolt."
"You mean she's convinced that you two have interfaced too?"
"Yes, and she seems to think that photo proves everything." Blaze was also annoyed; she didn't like being the subject of rumours either.
"Those twins are going to pay as well!" Scrapper sounded just as annoyed as the others.
"Oh, wait I think that I saw the image actually!" Blitzwing vaguely remembered an image where all the Constructicons were covered in paint splashes.
"You guys did look funny!" Vortex seemed amused by the memory.
"You wouldn't like being covered in paint!" Mixmaster was the main one that got hit.
"Especially when each splatter is a different colour!" Scavenger didn't like thinking about what happened.
"You shouldn't have ratted them out when they pranked Kup." Brawl remembered the twins saying it was payback.
"But they didn't have to take a photo of us when we were covered in paint splatters." Hook seemed convinced that those twins only set it up like that so that everyone would see the result of the prank.
"That was cruel!" Bonecrusher seemed ticked off more than usual.
"Not as cruel as what Starscream did to us!" Swindle didn't like the first years much either.
"What'd he do?" Long Haul seemed interested now.
"He must either be a very good hacker or someone passed our codes on to him but he took all the sheets out of our files then put them loose in our lockers." Blast Off explained.
"You can guess what happened when we opened the door." Onslaught was annoyed.
"All the sheets fell out and then you had to pick them up." Kickback seemed to think that would be annoying if anybody did that to him.
"That's right. And not one person stopped to help us pick them up." Swindle was the most annoyed; he had more work to pick up than the others.
"At least you didn't get woken up at half past three in the morning!" Shrapnel was still tired; it happened to have been at half past three that morning.
"Who did that to you guys?" Astrotrain wouldn't have liked that to happen to him either.
"Jazz. He was bragging about it later because we were in the Unit for being asleep in science." Bombshell didn't mention that he and the other Insecticons spent their time in the Unit sleeping.
"But everybody goes to sleep in science!" Scavenger knew that; he definitely would have at some point.
"That's why it was annoying to be caught!" Kickback thought that no one would ever get told off for sleeping in Valium's lessons.
"You didn't get humiliated by all the femmes and that meanie Skywarp." Powerglide didn't like this memory much.
"What prank did Skywarp play on you?" Shrapnel seemed inquisitive now.
"He told us to go and ask out one of the femmes in the first year." Seaspray turned red.
"Aren't all the femmes in the first year taken?… Oh." Blitzwing seemed confused then it dawned on him.
"Moonracer was with her boyfriend at the time too." Powerglide didn't like remembering what happened; Thundercracker had been the one to point out that Moonracer was taken.
"Firestar seemed flattered but she turned me down for the same reason; she already had a boyfriend." Seaspray wished it was him.
"Ooh. So you guys aren't going to live that down for a while." Astrotrain got the impression he wasn't going to live down his prank for a while either.
"Since everyone seems to be in agreement…" Aquabolt seemed slightly happier.
"I declare a prank war against the first years!" Blaze shouted and the others shouted along with her.
"Prank war! Prank war!" was what the group chanted as they went off to plan their pranks.
After lessons…
"I hope we don't get caught doing this…"
"Stopping being such a worrier Dirge! If any teachers appear we can run and hide." Blaze and Dirge had decided to sort their prank out before the others could figure out what they were going to do.
"If the teachers don't notice this then they must be blind…"
"I'm not sure… Would you notice a twenty foot high love message?" Blaze got the impression he'd be amused by that.
"Only if I'm looking for it and it's for me…"
"If you think I'm writing I love you on this wall that size you have got another thing coming…" Blaze wasn't expecting him to want that!
"Do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Love me."
"You could tell me the answer to that question." Blaze had probably said that line a few times now.
"Doesn't make it any less sweet to be told though." Dirge was still right though.
"Fine, I love you." Now you need to say your line…
"And I love you too."
"Enough for you to interface with me? Right here and now?" Blaze sniggered at his reaction.
"Blaze come on! There's no way I'd do that! Anyone could see…"
"I knew I'd get that answer. Good thing I was joking; I would probably do that kinda thing in private too…" Blaze also liked his reaction when she'd mentioned she was joking.
"That doesn't mean that I don't want to be cuddled."
"We'd better go get some sleep. Don't want to be put in the Unit for falling asleep in science now, do we?" Dirge and Blaze began to walk back towards the dorm rooms before any of the teachers could catch them…
The next morning…
"Chromia, Shockwave. Report to my office right now!" Everyone that wasn't awake yet grumbled when there was a tannoy announcement.
"What did you do?" Kickback seemed amused; he thought Blaze might have something to do with this.
"Ratbat sounds really ticked off!" Sky also thought Blaze might be behind this. I'd better go and find out what he wants… Chromia reluctantly walked towards the dorm room door.
Ratbat's Office…
"What I would like you to explain… Is this." Ratbat held up an image and Chromia and Shockwave looked at it.
"I wouldn't do that!" Chromia didn't like that image; it showed Chromia written on the wall then a pink heart then Shockwave. It wasn't that which was the difficult to believe thing; this message was about 20 feet tall!
"No way! Who did this?" Shockwave knew Chromia wouldn't do that.
"One of you did it; so I'm putting both of you in the Unit!" Ratbat wasn't in the mood for arguing so Chromia and Shockwave walked off towards the Unit.
Break time…
"Hey Arcee."
"What's up? You're not still embarrassed about the incident yesterday are you?" Arcee could tell from his reaction that he was.
"A little. I don't suppose that you aren't." Astrotrain didn't seem as bothered as he should have been though.
"Not really. I'd rather it wasn't Rumble at the head of that…"
"What did he mean we aren't worth it? Is he trying to suggest something?" Blitzwing didn't like being told that he wasn't as good as others.
"You didn't know? The fabled school grapevine mustn't be as good as everyone claims. Rumble has a huge crush on me!" Arcee seemed amused by the looks on their faces.
"What? He does. Could you help us prank him?" Blitzwing seemed to be feeling better now.
"How?" Arcee didn't understand how she could help.
"Convince him that you broke up with me and then we can break his heart." Astrotrain had an evil glare in his eyes.
"That's really cruel! How would you like it?"
"We have had mechs and femmes laughing about us getting turned down for weeks; I think we know what cruel is!" Blitzwing blushed just thinking about it.
"Fine. But you owe me. I let your mind decide what!" Astrotrain turned red just thinking about it.
"I'll go look for him and you two can follow at a discreet distance…" Arcee walked off to look for Rumble.
A little while later…
"Hey."
"Oh. Hi Arcee. What did you come looking for me for?" Rumble sounded nervous and unsure.
"Gimme a cuddle." He won't be expecting that!
"What?" Did I hear that right? I thought she had a boyfriend…
"You heard me! Gimme a cuddle." Is she serious? She wants me to do this! Rumble put his arms around Arcee and flushed when she nuzzled her head against him.
"Do you remember when you got dared to kiss me?"
"I think…" Rumble didn't particularly want to remember.
"Well I do and I also remember what you said afterwards, about you being willing for me to be your girlfriend."
"I actually said that?"
"Yes you did. And I think you're really cute too." Arcee was making him more and more flustered.
"Stop it! I'm supposed to flatter you!"
"No you're not, I'm her boyfriend!"
"What do you want?" Rumble let go of Arcee and glared at Astrotrain.
"I want my girlfriend back!"
"I don't think she wants you; she was being cuddled by me!" Arcee hoped that they wouldn't fight over her; though it would be kinda sweet.
"I need to be with my sweetheart…"
"What do you mean?" Rumble sounded nervous now.
"I mean that I'm going to be with my boyfriend now."
"Then if he's your sweetheart why were you letting me cuddle you?" Rumble couldn't figure it out; she was playing him.
"Because I know you love me; you can't love a taken femme and it's gonna drive you insane…"
"I DON'T LOVE YOU!" Rumble turned a deep shade of red.
"Of course you don't. So you can clear off before your clear lack of affection shows you up." Rumble seemed to get the idea it wasn't wise to hang around there so shuffled away quickly. When did she suddenly turn nasty? I'm not sure that I'll be bothering her any time soon…
"Did you have to be that mean Astrotrain?"
"What? You don't like the fact I'm defending you…"
"You're defending me? From what?" Arcee clearly was missing something; though she didn't seem to know what.
"Boys that think I'm not your type and think they would be better suited as your boyfriend."
"Why would they be better suited when you love me?"
"Ask them. How should I know? And you should probably go after him and mention to him that he has to leave us alone." Arcee didn't really want to follow him; she'd probably hurt him enough already but the whole point of her being mean was to get Rumble back for bothering Astrotrain and Blitzwing.
"Hey Rumble!" Arcee hoped that he heard her.
"What do you want? Haven't you hurt me enough already?" Unless she's going to apologise for saying those things…
"You shouldn't have pranked Astrotrain."
"Why are you telling me this?" Rumble didn't seem to get why she would tell him this.
"Because you'll end up in trouble if you do and…" Arcee paused on purpose.
"I wouldn't want my second source of cuddles to get into trouble now would I?" Arcee walked off to let him dwell on what she just said. Now he's going to be really confused!
Meanwhile…
"Are you guys sure this will work?" Bombshell hoped that Jazz wouldn't suspect their plan.
"He doesn't like stuff being put in his locker. Last time it was a slime bucket but this time…" Shrapnel grinned evilly.
"He's really not going to like it!" Kickback hoped they wouldn't get spotted; they weren't hiding very well.
I hope those Insecticons don't figure out that I put those alarm clocks in their rooms… And I also hope that no one has changed the combination for my locker… Jazz seemed happier when he discovered that his combination was the same as before. Let's see, where did I put my science homework… Jazz rifled around in his locker. Did that just move? Jazz checked a sheet of paper; he could have sworn that it was moving. The paper twitched again.
"OK whoever is behind me making the paper move can stop now; it's not funny." Jazz looked behind him but there wasn't anyone standing there. OK. That's weird, how did it move? Then the paper moved and something moved out from under it. A large black tarantula sized spider shuffled out from under the sheet where it was hiding. Jazz backed up a bit. I'm not going to scream; the last time was bad enough, no one let me forget about it for a while. The spider however then jumped out of the locker, trying to grab him. Jazz jumped back but couldn't help screaming this time. The spider didn't seem to be letting up though. It moved towards the robot it was tormenting. "JaZzzZ…" An eerie sounding voice came from the spider. "Yikes! Go away! Go away!" Jazz began backing away from the spider. "Why SHoUlD I? YOu DIsTurBeD mY sLEeP aNd I aM AnGRy!" Jazz then screamed again and ran away from the spider as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Did you guys see him run?" Kickback couldn't help giggling.
"I think it was funnier that he screams like a femme!" Bombshell seemed to think it was more amusing than the spider was as scary as that.
"Good thing that you know how to control that thing with your Cerebro Shells Bombshell or we wouldn't have made him scream like that." Shrapnel seemed thankful that Bombshell had mastered his unusual talent.
"You think he'll know it was us?" Kickback was the only one who thought of this.
"The fact it was an insect hints it was us but he probably won't realise." Shrapnel seemed convinced that he wouldn't have a clue.
"We'd better not be here if he comes back." The Insecticons went to collect the spider and then walked away from the area so they didn't get wrong.
Later on at break time…
"The first years have got to be getting suspicious of being lead into the woods." Swindle seemed convinced that this idea wasn't going to work.
"No way! They don't talk about these things. He won't suspect a thing!" Vortex was overly convinced.
"You'd better hope so. Or I'll…"
"Brawl! Don't cause any fights! We get in enough trouble for fighting as it is." Onslaught hoped that their target was as gullible as they thought he was.
Meanwhile…
"Hey Starscream!"
"What do you want Blast Off?"
"I think someone took something and hid it up in that tree over there." Blast Off pointed at the tree with the bit of rope under it.
"Any clue what it was?"
"They were muttering something about high grade…"
"Why would they hide high grade in a tree?" Starscream didn't seem to be buying this.
"You'd have to ask them. Anyways don't you want it?"
"Why don't you go and get it?"
"Because…" Blast Off was struggling to think of a reason.
"Well? Why don't you go and get it?"
"Because…" I think one of the second years said he had an oversized ego. Maybe I could play this?
"You're the smartest mech in first year and you deserve a reward." I hope this works…
"You're right, of course!" I guess the second year was right. His ego is oversized! Starscream had just unbeknownst walked right into the trap the Combaticons had set for him.
"NOW!" Starscream felt a sharp tugging motion on his ankle and a few seconds later he was hanging upside down from the tree.
"LET ME DOWN FROM HERE ALREADY!"
"No way! You deserve to be stuck up there." Swindle sniggered; someone said that Seekers looked funny upside down.
"Why are you picking on me?"
"Because you decided it would be a good idea to put all of our work loose in our lockers." Brawl was in a foul mood already, and this conversation was making it worse.
"It was you guys I got! I thought it was some first years…"
"You'd better remember to tie that rope around the tree; we wouldn't want him to escape his punishment…" Onslaught spoke to Vortex who then seemed to get the idea.
"NO! PLEASE LET ME GO!" Starscream didn't seem to be having any luck however; Vortex tied the rope around the tree and then collected something hidden behind one of the others.
"You know what this is…" Vortex was holding a tin filled with paint. Pink paint.
"NO! DON'T DO THAT! PLEASE!"
"I think he deserves payback for what he did to us." The other Combaticons seemed to agree with Onslaught.
"What should we paint on him?" Swindle giggled at Starscream's response.
"LET ME DOWN FROM HERE ALREADY!"
"Who did Astrotrain say your girlfriend was again?" Blast Off had an idea.
"I'm not telling!" Starscream had the impression they already knew anyway; they just wanted to annoy him.
A few minutes later…
"Now you can go." Vortex went over to the tree and untied the rope. It didn't take Starscream long to run away. It was going to be bad that enough that most of the school was going to see the results of the punishment. I hope that not too many people see me like this… it's going to be bad enough if there is anybody in the showers…
"What's with the new paint job?" Starscream couldn't tell who was speaking; there were too many people looking at him.
"Who do you think did it?"
"His Femme probably." Starscream couldn't ignore how many people were hanging around and laughing at him. He began to run faster as if that would make him any less obvious; with the paint job he'd been given it was impossible not to notice.
Why did everybody have to be hanging around here? Now I'll never live this down.
"I know you're Elita's sweetheart but I don't think that's quite what that means."
"You be quiet Skyfire! And will you come with me?"
"I don't see why not. You need somebody to fight your cause. You won't be able to sneak past anybody like that." Skyfire was trying not to laugh. Starscream was covered in pink hearts and the biggest one on his back had Elita's name written inside it. It seemed lucky that this paint was going to wash off.
"What's that doing there?" Starscream couldn't help noticing a note attached to his locker door.
The note read:
You will have probably noticed that you have been given a new paint job by now.
We hope you like it as this paint is semi-permanent.
It will wear out overnight but until then you're stuck like that!
We hope you know some good hiding places!
The Combaticons
"WHAT?"
"You'd better see what you like; you'd understand what they mean when they say that you'd better know some good hiding places." Skyfire was happy that it wasn't him for a change.
"No point going to try and get this stuff washed off; it isn't going to. What do I look like?" Starscream knew he wasn't going to like it but thought he should probably see anyway. Skyfire took a hologram of it then showed the hologram to Starscream. The shriek that came afterwards could be heard in the quad.
"Was that a femme?" One of the third years asked.
Lunch time…
"Didn't Skywarp prank one of the first years by dropping water bombs on them?"
"You're right Powerglide. But how are we going to trick him into being the target of it?"
"That's a good question Seaspray. I'm sure that my distraction would work though."
"And if it doesn't?"
"There is always plan B." Powerglide actually looked a bit evil when he mentioned plan B.
"You hide up there." Seaspray pointed at the same roof that Skywarp had chosen to hide on.
"Not before you get this rope tied around the bar between your propellers." Powerglide was right; plan B wouldn't work unless Seaspray had that rope ready. Seaspray transformed then shifted off when Powerglide had tied the rope to him. The only part of the rope now visible was a noose like shape on the ground. Seaspray had to transform to go to hide. He knew that Skywarp wouldn't have noticed the wet paint sign sticking out of the ground.
A few minutes later…
I hope Starscream hasn't hidden too well. Everyone says he's got a new paint job and it's so funny. And I haven't seen it yet!
"Hey Skywarp!"
"Powerglide. Did Moonracer not think you were cute enough?" Skywarp knew that would annoy Powerglide.
"You knew fine well she had a boyfriend!" I could do this now. Bombs Away! Skywarp got a shock when about a dozen water bombs fell on him.
"HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR? GET YOUR OWN TRICK POWERGLIDE!"
"I already did. Now!" Wait what? Skywarp felt a noose tighten around his ankle and then it began to drag him. Straight across the area with wet paint on it.
"Hey come on! No Fair!" Skywarp protested at being covered in wet paint. But it wasn't that which was bothering him; it was where the paint was being put. After the rope had started to move, Skywarp couldn't keep his balance and quickly ended up being dragged along the ground. On his backside. After Seaspray knew he couldn't get any paint on him he stopped and transformed. This meant he didn't get hit by Skywarp. Once the Seeker stopped moving he stood up much to the amusement of Seaspray and Powerglide.
"There is only one way to get rid of that paint." Powerglide smirked; this paint was permanent.
"And you won't like it Skywarp." Seaspray also knew that and knew the only way to get rid of paint like that was with paint stripper.
"So you'd better not bother us again or you'll get the same thing again." Skywarp ran off to find somewhere to hide; it seemed Starscream wasn't the only one that was going to be avoiding people today.
Meanwhile…
"I hope that Seeker doesn't find out we copied his idea." Hook seemed worried about this.
"No worrying about that. He's too busy hiding." Bonecrusher was right; Starscream didn't want any more people to see the hideous repaint he'd been given than those that had already.
"He may have found a good place to hide…" Mixmaster paused; hoping one of the others would catch his train of thought.
"But not before everyone saw that paint job of his!" Scrapper and the others hadn't been lucky enough to actually spot him but everyone had mentioned it so everyone knew about it.
"Are you sure that they will take it?" Hook had to doubt the plan again.
"If we tell them that it will make femmes like them I don't see why not." Scrapper however seemed convinced that the plan would work.
"We won't be lying." Long Haul again thought that one of the others would realise the train of thought and respond.
"We just won't be telling them the whole truth!" Scavenger seemed to think the plan would work too.
"Come on let's go give them this before they realise what's happening!" Bonecrusher ran off looking for the twins leaving the others behind.
A little while later…
"What do you guys want?" Sideswipe couldn't help pondering if they hadn't suffered enough humiliation already.
"We have something we thought you might like…" Mixmaster hoped that they wouldn't be too suspicious.
"What is it? Something that will blow up on us?" Sunstreaker didn't like the sound of that.
"No. It makes femmes like you." Bonecrusher answered; he did run off to find the twins, it only seemed right that he should mention this to them.
"But they are all taken." Sideswipe didn't seem to like this fact much.
"They'll still like you, even if they have got a boyfriend!" Hook was the only one to mention this fact.
"Do we just drink this pink stuff?" Sunstreaker thought that was too simple.
"That should do it." The Constructicons grinned when they spotted that the twins had grabbed the bottles of fluid and quickly drank them. The twins then wandered off looking pleased with themselves.
"We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see the results of this." Long Haul stated the obvious.
"I hope that they aren't very observant…"
"Do you have to doubt everything Hook?" Scrapper seemed to think that Hook doubted too many things.
"No. I'm just good at finding faults in the plans you come up with."
Later on…
"How on Cybertron are we going to get away with this?"
"I wish I knew."
"This was your idea! How come you don't know Blaster?"
"Because I know what we were thinking of doing, I don't know how you're going to get away with this."
"You think that I would prefer to be surrounded by mechs? There are less femmes Blaster and they aren't going to jump you."
"How are we going to get Frenzy to follow us?"
"You convince him, I've got to set this up…" Aquabolt ran off leaving Blaster to ponder how he was going to get Frenzy to follow him into the femmes shower area…
A short while later…
Frenzy couldn't help pondering what Blaster was doing hanging around near were the femmes would be. Unless… He must be planning on… No! He wouldn't! Frenzy couldn't resist following which was exactly what Blaster wanted to happen. Hey wait. Why is he going in there? Frenzy didn't like the idea behind that. I'm not sure if you could actually just walk in there… Frenzy couldn't hear any chattering so he assumed that there wasn't anybody about. When he opened the door it seemed surprising that there was nobody in. Where did Blaster disappear to? He's got be in here somewhere… Why do I have a bad feeling about this…?
"Hi Frenzy!"
"Where were you hiding Aquabolt?"
"I was wondering how you knew about us…"
"What do you mean?"
"Those rumours you were spreading…"
"They're true!" Frenzy seemed to think so when Aquabolt went quiet.
"I ponder if all of you mechs look the same." Aquabolt seemed to be in a rather mischievous mood.
"What do you mean?" Frenzy was getting nervous now.
"Under that armour of yours…"
"Hey! I'm not showing you!" Frenzy began backing away in case she went for him.
"Either you remove your armour or…"
"We'll do it for you!" Frenzy had hoped that the other femmes weren't in there yet.
"Alright! Alright! But you femmes better not look…" All of the femmes shrieked when he said that.
"What? You never saw a mech without any armour on before?"
"Some of us have." Aquabolt answered, she was trying not to smirk; the femmes all squealed on purpose.
"Who did you get?"
"Swindle. He was the last mech stupid enough to come in here." Aquabolt knew that wasn't quite true, but Frenzy didn't need to know that.
"What happened?" Frenzy then thought it was a bad idea to ask that.
"He was spying on us." Violet spoke first.
"But we caught him and dragged him in." Sky seemed amused by the memory.
"Then we asked him to remove all his armour too." Blaze kept quiet after speaking; Blaster was sneaking up on Frenzy with a bucket in his hands.
"He wasn't as compliant as you. The worst bit happened when he didn't have any armour on." Aquabolt hoped he'd ask what that was.
"What was that?" Frenzy sounded worried; he was at that stage now.
"Swindle ended up with a cold shower. Because of a bucket of water." Aquabolt then motioned her hand downwards and Frenzy shrieked in response to what happened next. He felt slime running down his skin. Slime felt bad enough when you had armour covering you up but the skin was much more sensitive. Frenzy looked around to try and find out who poured the slime on him.
"BLASTER!"
"You didn't think I'd do a disappearing act did you? Me and Aquabolt had this all planned out."
"You knew I'd follow you?"
"I wasn't completely sure but…" Blaster then heard what sounded like footsteps and he went to hide.
"Where are you going?" Frenzy asked Blaster but Blaster wasn't stupid enough to answer.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" Frenzy looked around then blushed. Comet was standing at the door; she'd come to find out what the noise was.
"Which femme are you trying to impress?"
"I'm not trying to impress any…" Frenzy didn't sound convincing; some of them knew he had a crush on one of them.
"You shouldn't be doing that in here."
"Doing what?"
"Running around naked." Frenzy couldn't help turning redder when the femmes all started sniggering.
"You can spend a day in the Unit tomorrow for being in here, and an extra day for exposing yourself like that." Comet then stormed out the door.
"How come you didn't get caught?" Frenzy sounded annoyed with Blaster when he came out of hiding.
"I hid before she came in here. You should have done the same." Blaster liked the fact the femmes all found this funny. It seemed Frenzy was going to be in the unit for the next few days.
The next morning…
I wonder if that potiony thing that those Constructicons gave us worked. Sunstreaker was too busy wandering towards the door to notice his reflection or his brother. I hope the femmes think we are irresistible. Sunstreaker went off to look for the femmes.
"Hey Moonracer."
"Are you new here?"
"No way." Why isn't this working? Should I try something?
"Has any mech ever told you that you're cute?"
"I have been told that by my boyfriend yes."
"Are you guys sure that you are a good match?"
"I don't need love advice from a new femme!"
"NOOOOOOO!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm not a femme am I?"
"You are. Did you only just notice?"
"I can't be a femme! You're supposed to find me attractive."
"You are quite pretty for a femme. What do they call you? You know I think you look a bit like Sunstreaker. Sorry if that offends you!" No. Wait. This is Sunstreaker. He took some of that feminiser liquid that Skywarp took and it made him into a femme.
"SUNNY!"
"Sideswipe, call me by my full name, I don't call you Swipey now do I?"
"You're a femme too! It must have been that potion those Constructicons gave us."
"Bonecrusher said that stuff will last until break time."
"Break time!"
"We can't be seen like this!"
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker however were going to have to go to first lesson just like everybody else…
The Unit…
"Why did we get punished? Those Constructicons must have been in the science cupboard!" Sideswipe didn't like the fact that he and his brother got put in the Unit for being pranked.
"I'm in here because I got pranked too! It's not fair! The Combaticons got away with it!" Starscream didn't like the fact he was in the unit either.
"I got put I here for skipping lessons too. I'm glad none of you saw what my armour's base colour was; I had to use paint stripper to get the paint off me." Skywarp didn't like being made to sit in the unit either.
"What'd they get you for Frenzy?" Sideswipe asked.
"I was in the femme's showers."
"Trying to see what the femmes look like without their armour were you?" Starscream sounded amused.
"Trying to find out what Blaster was doing in there. And he didn't get caught!" All of the others in there seemed as annoyed as Frenzy now.
"The head teacher put us in here because someone scrawled 'Chromia heart Shockwave' on the walls outside." Chromia was annoyed but she at least had her boyfriend to keep her company.
"Mine is more annoying! I ended up running into Valium after I'd…" Jazz then remembered why he couldn't tell them what happened; it was too embarrassing.
"And then Valium put me in the unit because I knocked all his stuff flying."
"I got put in here because Arcee requested that I give her a cuddle. And Valium saw me do it."
"That is why you don't prank third years!" Blitzwing sniggered at the door; the ones in the Unit groaned; they were probably going to be visited by all the others who got away with it too.
AN: That was a long chapter! I can't believe I wrote that much! But I also can't think of anywhere to split this chapter so it shall have to remain that long… Also it appears that it was a complete secret about Starscream's repaint. So naturally the whole school knew about it!
