Dreadwing and Thundercracker were pranksters , every con knew that. They are also known as optimistic Decepticons, cheering their friends and family up during a stressful cycle. None of their fellow Decepticons really mind their pranks since they were relatively harmless. But today, none of the cons wanted to deal with the younglings pranks. The cons have just lost a battle against the Autobots and they were all stressed out trying to think of their next course of action.
Since Darkblade and Starscream were called to a meeting with Megatron, that left their younger siblings to stay in the break room. Skywarp was reading a data pad, Skyquake was watching on the counsel in the break room, finally both Dreadwing and Thundercracker were planning their next prank. "What are you doing guys?" Skywarp said looking away from the data pad. "Trying to figure out a prank." Everyone has been so stressed lately, we just think a prank will at least cheer someone up." The middle siblings said as Skyquake walked up to them. "Um guys, I really don't think that's a good idea." "Come on brother! Where's your sense of humor?" Dreadwing playfully smiled at his twin as Skyquake put a servo around his helm nervously. "Okay, but if you get in trouble, don't blame it on us." Skywarp said as he and Skyquake went back to what they were doing.
The two prankster seekers decided to prank their siblings after the meeting in hopes of cheering them up. They put a balloon filled with coolant and put it up by the door in the meeting room. When the door opened, they dropped the balloon on the unsuspecting con, and started laughing. Thundercracker looked up at the con in fear and tapped Dreadwing's shoulder, who was still laughing hard. "Thundercracker? What's wr-" Dreadwing looked at who they played their prank on and chirrped in fear. It was their leader, Megatron, and boy was he mad!
"What the scrap do you think you two are doing?!" He yelled at the two seekers, who kept looking at their leader in fear. "We were just trying to make someone less stressed." Dreadwing tried to explain before being interrupted by Megatron, "WE ARE AT WAR! WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SILLY PRANKS!" "But sir, we-" Thundercracker couldn't finish his sentence as tears started forming around his optics. Dreadwing looked at Megatron in fear as he raised a servo and flinched when he slammed his servo on the table before leaving the room. Both seekers were shaken up by Megatron's outburst and were close to tears when they heard someone say, "Guys? Are you okay?" They turned to see their older siblings, Starscream and Darkblade looking at then in concern before both Thundercracker and Dreadwing ran away in tears.
Darkblade noticed that her brother was really shaken up. Starscream looked at his friend, confused. "Dark? You okay?" Darkblade sighed. "The way Dreadwing looked at me, he looked terrified. Which hasn't happen since we were sparklings." "What are you talking about?" They turned to see Megatron coming back from the wash racks. "When we were Sparklings, our Sire abused me, Skyquake, and Dreadwing. He seemed to enjoy abusing Dreadwing the most. And the look he gave me a few minutes ago, reminded me of how scared he was of our sire." Starscream and Megatron looked at her in shock. "I think I was the cause of his expression." Megatron said sadly. Darkblade looked at her leader just as confused as Starscream was. "They played a harmless prank meant for you two and I got the prank instead. I got mad and yelled at them." He sighed sadly, "I shouldn't have done that."
That night, both Dreadwing and Thundercracker were sitting up on their berths, still shaken up from earlier when they heard their quarter doors open. They looked up to see Megatron walking in with a guilty look on his face. "What do you want?" Thundercracker said tearfully. Megatron sat down next to the young seekers and put a servo on their shoulders. "I would like to apologize for yelling at you both . Especially you Dreadwing. Your sister told me what you went through and that you were crying after I yelled at you. I hope you will forgive me." Dreadwing and Thundercracker tearfully nodded and leaned into their leader as they fell into recharge. Outside their quarters, Starscream and Darkblade smiled as they watched their leader comfort their younger siblings as they went to get some recharge as well.
