13sTaLk13: I was drinking coffee and listening to re-mixed Disney music when I wrote this so I blame that.

Epic Fail

Sam watched the screen fade out and blinked. "…That's…um…weird…" He said slowly. Bumblebee shuttered his optics quickly, and then tilted his head, and then shook his head.

"Why do I look so …bulky?" He asked Wheeljack, the inventor of this large screen hooked up to a large generator with many wires. Wheeljack rubbed his helm.

"I don't know, 'Bee. This is an alternate reality." Jazz sat down by Prime and Ratchet.

"Why was Sam called 'Spike'?" Mikaela asked from her perch on Chromia's shoulder.

"Why's it in the past?" Jazz added to the question list, indicating the screen. Wheeljack shrugged, because he didn't know the answers.

"Again, it's alternate reality." Wheeljack turned a dial and the screen came to life again. The screen showed a mountainous region and Optimus with a very small robot. After a few minutes the screen dimmed again.

"What the heck was that small robot and why were we after it?" Ironhide asked as Will climbed onto his hand with Annabel and Sarah. Wheeljack sent him an, 'I-don't-slagging-know' look and turned the dial again.

It lit up to show a girl with brown skin and red triangles for hair with a glowing key-thing. At the end the entire group burst into laughter. "She-she-" The laughter cut Mikaela off.

"That was," Sam laughed, "a pretty good joke! Honestly!" Everyone pretty much agreed with that and Wheeljack could safely dub this experiment a failure.

"I really thought It would help us use strategies we'd come up with in alternate realities." Wheeljack said, dejected. He reached to turn the thing off and was an inch away when it exploded.

The Autobots waited a minute before letting their human charges out from under their hands or away from their body-shields. After a few seconds, everyone was laughing again.
