I do not own Transformers. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"Tiffani you need to get back to the med bay before you tear your stitches," Ironhide snapped at the still smiling femme.

"Naughty girl," Bumblebee played from his radio even though he held up a hand in front of his mouth like he was snickering.

"I'm fine, anyways I was going crazy in there. I hate hospitals," she pouted up at the big mech even though his hologram was in front of her. "Oh I know, carry me around and that way I won't exert myself," she smirked at him. Now Bumblebee was bent over smacking his knee.

"Fine," Ironhide sighed. His hologram disappeared and his mech form knelt down and placed his hand on the ground by her. He was patient as she slowly climbed up into his palm. He glared at her when she flinched because climbing up pulled her side a bit. "Tiffani, you are too much trouble," he grumbled.

"But you love me anyways, don't try to deny it," she teased him and smiled when he grumbled some more.

Ironhide decided the best thing to do was get Tiffani to Ratchet so he could make sure she hadn't pulled out any of her stitches or hurt herself more. He wasn't going to tell Tiffani what his plan was. He contacted Ratchet, who immediately answered back. Apparently Tiffani had sneaked out of the human's medical bay and everyone was looking for her. Ratchet told him that Sideswipe was heading his way, which made Ironhide grumble more. He didn't want to see that punk.

"Hey Sideswipe, what's up?" Tiffani yelled with a wave as she saw Sideswipe approaching the shooting range.

"Oh just wondering what trouble you're causing," Sideswipe said with a smirk to his new femme human friend.

"You know me so well, so how have you and your brother been?" she asked him while Ironhide started walking towards where Ratchet was, which was in the main Autobot hanger. Even though Tiffani had no idea that Ironhide was about to take her for a scolding out of this world. He would let her be oblivious. Sideswipe already knew what was about to happen though, which is why he couldn't stop his laughter when he saw Tiffani giving Ironhide a betrayed look when they made it to the hanger full of Ratchet, Optimus Prime, and Lexi.

"Sideswipe catch me and run," Tiffani acted like she would jump from Ironhide's hand, but he used his other palm to block her. "No," she pouted as he set his hand down and motioned for her to step down.

"What were you thinking?" Lexi yelled when her friend was once again on the ground.

"Escape," Tiffani said with a shrug.

"You could have pulled your stitches or injured yourself further," Ratchet immediately cut in with his own scolding before Lexi could continue. He glared at Tiffani so she would stay still while he scanned her to make sure she was doing ok. "You didn't pull any stitches, but you have strained your body enough. You still need to be on fluids and pain medicine while the worst of the injury heals," he informed her before he communicated privately with Optimus about keeping the femme in Ratchet's medical bay for better observation and care.

"But I don't like pain medicine and this isn't the worst I've dealt with before," Tiffani said with a sigh. She knew she wasn't going to win when going against Lexi and Ratchet. "Fine, but I'm not going back to that hospital," she snapped and pointed at Ratchet.

"No, you're not. You're going to be staying in my personal medical bay on site for the Autobots," Ratchet informed her.

"Oh, cool, I'm good with that," she replied and ignored the looks of dread Sideswipe was giving her. "It'll be fine," she thought with a shrug.

"This is worse than the hospital, I need freedom," Tiffani shouted from her medical bed on a very high up metal platform, which was used for the mechs. Of course, there was no way she could roll off the metal platform in her sleep, but the heights were terrifying her.

"Do I need to sedate you?" Ratchet snapped since he couldn't do his normal method of hitting mechs with a wrench. He couldn't do that to a human femme.

"Get me out of here, Mr. Moo," Tiffani screamed from the medical bay.

"I bet she's going insane," Lexi laughed as she ate dinner with Will, Sarah, and Annabelle in their family bunker.

"She has to get better, so she needs to just listen to Ratchet," Sarah said with a sigh as she thought of Tiffani trying to do too much too early.

"I feel like Ratchet is going to sedate her before she can ever even think about escaping again," Will snorted.

"Why did Tiffani run away?" Annabelle asked.

"Oh sweetie, she didn't run away. She just didn't want to be in the hospital anymore. Anyways she went straight to Ironhide, so we would have found her eventually," Sarah explained to her daughter.

"Oh yay, we need to plan their wedding mommy," Annabelle said and soon the whole table was giggling at the little girl's wedding plans.

Tiffani and Ratchet were definitely ready to kill each other while she healed. It took a few weeks for her side to heal properly so she could get up and walk around without pain. It would be tender for a while and scar badly, but at least she was alive and able to do what she normally could.

Today was her release day from Ratchet's care. She would be sharing a bunker with Lexi, who was enjoying the day with Sarah and Annabelle somewhere on base. However, Tiffani only had one thing in mind.

She thanked Ratchet, left the med bay, and headed out to find Ironhide. She found him, Sunstreaker, and Sideswipe at the shooting range. No surprise there. "Hey sexy, miss me?" she called out and the mechs stopped firing at the targets.

"Ratchet finally released you?" Ironhide asked with an eyebrow lifted.

"Yup, now who is going to train me to hunt and kill Decepticons? I have a certain one I want to get some payback on," Tiffani questioned with a devious look.
