Prowl woke up, unsure where he was, he felt someone next to him, but that was not what he was interested in. Prowl looked over to see who was next to him and was surprised when he saw Lockdown. Prowl was irritated, as he wanted nothing to do with the ornery bounty hunter, but something seemed strange and out of place. Prowl scanned the room, only to find oversized furniture as well as metal bars standing in his way. Something was caging him in with the disgusting bounty hunter. Prowl was exasperated and hated what was going, on, but rather than open his mouth, he decided to try climbing up and over the bars, as there seemed to be an opening at the top.

And with not even a second glance, Prowl somehow found his legs, and climbed out of the "prison" only to land on a soft mat on the floor. Prowl was happy to be out of the cage, but now, as he tried to cross the room, he found that his legs were not strong enough to allow him to walk, and so, frustrated after having fallen on his aft too many times, Prowl reluctantly decided to try and crawl across the floor. But as Prowl started across, he heard a strange sound that caused him to stop, and it came from the "cage" he had been in.

(loudly) SCREECH WAIL LONG MOAN GROAN GROWL BEEP BEEP SQUEAK SQUEAL fart belch CLICK BEEP BEEP SQUEAK SCREECH LONG WAIL LONG SCREAM

Prowl was confused as he could here Lockdown's familiar vocal sounds, but no words came out. But what worried Prowl more was the steps he heard coming toward the door. Prowl quickly crawled away and hid, as he was not sure what kind of "creature" was going to come through the door. And so while Lockdown continued to cry and try to swear, Prowl remained silent and ever vigilant.

Soon enough, a figure appeared in the doorway. From his hiding spot, Prowl could tell that he was in an orphanage, a place where sparklings were abandoned and left under some random bot's care. And as Prowl continued to watch, he saw something he did not expect, as Yoketron entered the room and picked up little Lockdown. Prowl still did not want to come out of his hiding place, as he was not sure exactly what was going on. But wanting to try and understand, Prowl listened to see what he could hear.

"Shush, my little Lockdown. What are you screaming about?" asked Yoketron until he observed the black and gold blanket laying next to Lockdown, "Ah, I see, your little friend has disappeared. Shall I go look for him?" Prowl could only watch as sparkling Lockdown shook his head "yes." Then Prowl realized what exactly was going on as well as the reason he was unable to walk real well – he was a sparkling that had been left in the care of someone else as apparently his parents were either dead or did not want him. Fearing the truth, Prowl tried to hide better in his little hiding spot and tried not to give himself away, trying to use the old "processor over matter," but unfortunately, due to being in a sparkling body, there was little he could do as he realized that Yoketron and his sparkling self had played this game many times and Yoketron always seemed able to find the young bot.

And as soon as Prowl saw that Yoketron was heading toward his hiding place, he tried to keep quiet, but his sparkling body had other ideas as it released a huge exhaust fart out. Prowl silently cursed to himself as the expelled exhaust fume led the older bot right to him. Prowl tried to remain as quiet as possible, but it was not long before the large hands soon found him in his hiding space and soon he was high in the air being carried. Prowl hated not being in control, and though he did wanted to get away, his body did not want to listen. And soon Prowl found out why, as Yoketron, the older bot, brought out a bottle full of energon. Prowl was appalled, but nothing he did changed what his sparkling body did.

And once Prowl was fully fed his energon, Yoketron placed the crawling bot back on the ground before picking up Lockdown and feeding the little one. Prowl, finding the door wide open, soon crawled out into the hall. Prowl continued down the hall and tried to find something or someone familiar. And so the cheeky little sparkling peaked into one room only to find Jazz and Bumblebee as sparklings sleeping in the crib. And since they were sleeping, Prowl left and continued on, trying to figure out what was going on. And in the next room, Prowl had to laugh as he could here two little sparklings fighting, and when he peaked in, all he could see was Optimus and Sentinel fighting. Prowl laughed and his laughter attracted Optimus's attention, who soon crawled out of his crib berth and the two continued on visiting various rooms until they ran into 2 bots, Ultra Magnus and Ratchet and while Magnus went after Optimus who crawled off in one direction, a young Ratchet began to chase after the sleek little bot know as Prowl, cursing and swearing as Prowl was thwarting his every attempt to be caught.

But after a while, Prowl was tired, and Ratchet soon caught the sparkling while Magnus had already caught Optimus. And even though the two sparklings were angry that their fun had come to an end, they were tired and it was time to lay them down for a nap, and as Prowl tried to fall into a nap….

….A full grown Prowl woke up suddenly and began to shake his head, trying to shake the weird dream or nightmare depending on how one looked at it from his memory. Prowl quietly snuck through the Autobot base, and found that everything was as it should be. And with everything as it should be, Prowl went back to his room and went back into recharge, hoping to have a better dream this time.
