AN: How long has it been since I've updated? *checks* Since early November, huh? Sorry; haven't had much time to get this done. It really seems like everything is trying to stop me from writing this chapter. When I don't have a ton of homework, I have to help around the house all day. And when I don't have to help around the house all day, I have a ton of homework to do. Not to mention that yesterday I burned my right hand so bad I can't straighten it, much less hold a pencil or type. *sighs* Guess I'm left-handed for now.
Well, enough of my griping – onto the rules!
Just so we're clear, I don't own any of the songs mentioned in this or any future chapters.
Rule # 81: The Lion King is banned from the Nemesis, for now and for posterity. (By CoalTreasure)
(It's not the movie; it's the songs in it.)
(And due to my using the Luau song while running from Airachnid after an incident involving a blowtorch and my switchblade, the movie is banned.)
(It doesn't particularly help that I played Be Prepared during a mission briefing, which nearly caused Lord Megatron to blast me…)
(Yeah, Knock Out's still mad about that.)
Rule # 82: In conjunction to Rule 81, any Disney songs and movies are no longer allowed. (By CoalTreasure)
(What can I say to not make this as bad as it sounds?)
(Oh, I got nothing.)
(I tricked Laserbeak with a file labeled Important Classified Information, who in turn gave it to Soundwave. And when the communications officer opened it, in the middle of the Bridge, random songs from various Disney movies started to play.)
(And they wouldn't stop.)
(In their respective movies, the songs are great, but playing in a random, endless loop, they're torture.)
(So as of now, Disney is banned by order of Commander Starscream.)
Rule # 83: Michael Jackson songs are officially banned. (By Undiscovered Poet)
(Did I learn nothing from the Thriller incident? The better question is: did Lord Megatron learn nothing from the last time he actually took my advice?)
(Guess not.)
(Long story short: I was bored, feeling cheeky, and wanted some amusement. Turned out Bucket-head was in the same mood. I showed him Man in the Mirror on the main screen and he was hooked. We spent hours looking up Michael Jackson song after Michael Jackson song.)
(They ended up stuck in both our heads for the next week.)
(I couldn't focus and accidentally scratched KO's finish.)
(Lord Megatron was distracted and consequently ended up having the slag beaten out of him by Prime.)
(Guess who was blamed for that?)
(So now Michael Jackson is forbidden.)
Rule # 84: The game 'Truth or Dare' is banned. That's final. (By Starcee138)
(I'm not going into detail, but you can imagine how this went down.)
(Dreadwing is now one step away from ordering that I can't teach the troops any more human games)
"Go ahead, lapdog! Just try it and watch how fast that rule gets broken!"
Rule # 85: Under no circumstances are you to play 'I'm Sexy and I Know It'. (By Starcee138)
(Knock Out loves that song. Abso-fraggin'-lutely loves it. He played it seventy times straight once.)
(Breakdown, on the other hand, can't stand it. He smashed the console it was playing on just so he didn't have to hear it anymore.)
(I used to like the song, but hearing it over and over again doesn't exactly endear one toward it.)
"Sorry, KO, but this time you have to follow my rule."
(I have Breakdown's backing on this one.)
Rule # 86: For all intents and purposes, 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman!' is forbidden. (By inkdragon13)
(Care to guess why I'm not allowed to play this song anymore?)
(Yep. Because of Starscream.)
(He looks like a femme! It's those heels of his, and everyone here agrees with me.)
(The first time I played the song, the Vehicons couldn't hold back snickers – even Shiv, and he's Screamer's most loyal supporter! The second time, Lord Megatron actually smiled.)
(I have a feeling if Starscream hadn't banned the song there and then, Lord Megatron would've let me play it over and over again just to annoy the scrap out of the gray seeker.)
Rule # 87: The song by Rebecca Black known as 'Friday' is banned. (By inkdragon13)
(It was Friday! Could somebody please tell me why it's so wrong to blare the song over the intercom in a never-ending loop?)
(I thought it was perfectly fine, but apparently Hardshell didn't think so.)
(He kidnapped me and demanded I turn it off at once.)
"Stupid bug. I can't turn it off if you won't put me down."
Rule # 88: Under no circumstances are you to watch the trilogy known as the 'Bayverse.' (By inkdragon13)
(You would not believe how horrible everyone looks! And they didn't even include Knock Out or Breakdown. Not to mention the fact that Megatron was killed by a human or that Starscream got his head blown to bits by said human.)
(The one good thing about it is that Megatron does actually snuff Prime.)
(But does the fragger stay offline?!)
(NO! The same human who killed Megatron goes on some quest to bring Prime back to life!)
(Tomorrow Breakdown and I are going to have a little talk with Michael Bay. I hope Rumble'll give my switch back before then.)
Rule # 89: As ridiculous as it sounds, popping chewing gum is also banned. (By inkdragon13)
(I forgot how sensitive Cybertronian hearing is.)
(Popping a bubble sounds like a gunshot to them.)
(Believe it or not, I'm not actually upset by the fact I can't blow bubbles anymore. It was my fault in the first place for not thinking about how the noise would sound to the 'cons.)
(Took being held upside down for an hour by Airachnid for me to figure it out, but live and learn, I guess.)
Rule # 90: Unfortunately, pranking a certain seeker with furry rodents is not allowed. (By inkdragon13)
(Said furry rodents being mice, of course, and said prank being locking Starscream in a room with a bunch of 'em.)
(I feel no remorse. None at all.)
(After all, what's better blackmail than a ten-minute recording of a so-called 'mechly' seeker screaming like a femme and running into things?)
(Nothing, that's what.)
(Screamer certainly earned his name that day.)
Responses to Reviewers:
Undiscovered Poet: Thriller did turn out badly, didn't it? A very wise suggestion.
Starcee138: How did I know somebody was going to use that song for Knock Out? Anyways, sorry for the long wait.
Inkdragon13: As always, I thoroughly enjoy your sense of humor. And popping chewing gum annoys me to no end also.
Mayday200: Rule 71 has to be my favorite too. Prime was asking for it, having a frame like that!
Dream'sRealm: Optimus probably won't kill 'Bee, but he'll be furious when he finds out.
Fanficsakara: Thank you very much; I do try to make the rules amusing.
Naughtia: Youtube is a wonderful tool for making the 'cons glitch, ergo, it must be banned. Thanks for reviewing.
Hawky: Indeed, even though I feel kinda bad for teasing such an important Autobot.
Jara257: I cannot say how happy your review makes me. Seriously, I'm at a loss for words, and that almost never happens. Thank you, and thank you again.
Havbot: I might do a Halloween chapter later, so rest assured, your request is noted and filed.
Taboo22: The same here; it really brings out the rule and makes it twice as funny.
Wredan: Do you know you just gave me an idea for a little fic about a prank war between bots and cons where Shiloh fools Bulkhead with fake scraplets?
Mrs. Knockout: I agree with you all the way. KO's awesome, but Prime still has great hips.
PixelusPrime: Shiloh: You should have seen him; he was livid. Took him about six days to actually put me down and a month to let me go somewhere without him.
Elhini Prime: You have no clue how much I agree with you. As a little kid, the song's okay. Now, it's pure torture.
CrazyGlitch: Makes perfect sense, even Bucket-head already having a sparkmate.
Guest: Um… I don't actually know what Spongebob is, so I have no idea really what you're talking about…
IMPORTANT: For now, I will not be able to take suggestions. I would, but as of this moment, I already have three chapters of banned songs/activities and don't think I should do any more than three consecutive chapters on a single subject, but later in the writing of this story, I will come back to this topic. I will let you all know when thing are back to normal and I can take suggestions once more.
