Rule 103: Do Not Frame Sunny and 'Sides
Sideswipe had it coming. Dani had been thinking of ways to pay him back for reminding her, complete with near identical reenactment and results, of the spider incident. One thing kept coming to mind and she smiled evilly as she began to plot. It was too bad that Sunny got caught up in the scheme; though it ended up making the revenge that much sweeter.
After donning a pair of plastic gloves that she had swiped from the med bay, Dani crept into their adjacent rooms and snagged the special cans of paint that they painstakingly covered themselves in and crept back out. Halfway down the hallway a new idea hit and she grinned deviously as she turned and snuck back into their rooms with their paint cans. This would be good!
Later on the twins returned from a particularly grueling day of training with Ironhide and went straight to their rooms. Dani snickered silently as she watched from a prime hiding spot that she had scouted out earlier. The teen knew that they were going to touch up their scratched pain jobs, as they usually did after a battle or training session.
Suddenly a pair of almost feminine screams echoed throughout the base, startling everyone. 'Sides and Sunny ran out of their rooms, clutching their paint cans with horrified looks on their faceplates. As everyone rushed over to see what they were screaming about, including Dani as she slipped out of her hiding spot to join everyone else, they stopped dead in their tracks. A brief moment of silence filled the air as they stared at the scene before breaking out into hysterical laughter.
Sunny had cherry red spots covering his scratches, while 'Sides had sunshine yellow over his. The two mechs took one look at each other and shouted "YOU" before lunging at each other. Each was intent on beating the slag out of the other for mistakenly believing that they had deliberately messed up each other's paint jobs. Everyone was too busy laughing to even try and separate the two cursing mechs, Dani included.
Knowing that she was in danger of giving herself away with her almost hysterical laughter, she hastily composed herself and slipped away to avoid arousing suspicion. A smirk blossomed on the teen's lips as she left the sounds of the chaos she had created behind. Previous pranking experience and avoiding the blame paid off well. So did watching all of those crime shows on TV.
