Disclaimer: You've all heard this before; I don't own the Transformers, blah blah blah! However, I DO own the Elementacons and Dash/Becca.

ceestar: Geez thanks for the reviews guys! BoobytheSeeker, your review is one of the best that I've ever gotten since I became an author! Thanks! Ok, chapter 4 is up!

It was exactly the same. Being hidden and all, the base couldn't get dirty. It'd been three years, and the base looked exactly the same, just the way they left it.

"Oh, and kids, I've got some "friends" that want to see you." Red Alert pointed at a doorway, where three figures stood.

"Highwire!"

"Grindor!"

"Sureshock!"

Chapter 4: Just For Fun

Everything was as if the Decepticons were still up to no good. Just like three years ago, it felt great!

Jetfire was just roaming around the halls, thinking, and checking what the others were up to.

Blurr and Hoist were training, they wanted to be ready for any attack, and plus they had nothing better to do.

Scavenger, he was, well, he was, MEANT to be training with Blurr and Hoist, but he uh, kind of, fell, asleep, ^^*.

Red Alert found it fun, to go through the entire base's programming, to, make sure it was running properly.

The kids were chasing the minicons, but riding their own, they called it exercise.

Sideswipe teamed up with Dash, they were trying to trap Hot Shot, who wasn't finding it much fun, but the other two were loving it.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!"

"What the?" Jetfire turned around and saw Hot Shot running down the hallway.

"YOU BETTER MOVE JETFIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He quickly jumped to the wall as Hot Shot skidded around a corner.

"What was that about?"

"Hey Jetfire!!"

"Now what?"

This time, it was Dash and Sideswipe.

"Do *puff* you *puff* know *puff* where, Hot Shot, *puff* went?" Dash slammed her back again the wall, the three of them had been around the entire base already, SEVERAL TIMES!

"Um, he went. That. Way." Jetfire pointed in the opposite direction, knowing those two would find Hot Shot sooner or later anyways, might as well give Hot Shot a break for, about a minute, ten at the most ^^*.

"Hey, thanks Jetfire. Let's do this Dash!!" Sideswipe got up from the ground and ran off.

"Right!"

The two bots ran off towards the training center.

"Hey, thanks Jetfire. They've been chasing me for hours!" Hot Shot came slowly out of the corridor he had run into.

"No problem, they're going to find you in a minute, I say you get a head start before they find out I've lead them on a wild goose chase." Jetfire smirked.

"Hm, good point, well, I'm gone!!" Hot Shot said those last two words in less than a second and then ran off the same way he had come.

Jetfire's POV

I watched Hot Shot run off. I continued to walk, the same way that Dash and Sideswipe went, I've got a feeling I'm going to run into them again.

I needed to clear my head.

Everyone seems to have it calm but me.

Everyone's just letting it hang loose, having fun, but I'm so tight up.

I mean, come on, I'm the one that's always running loose, well, maybe apart from Hot Shot sometimes, but he's young.

Maybe, no, but just maybe. I shook my head.

Maybe the Matrix makes you act tight up, you never saw Optimus running around the base, for fun. He's always making sure everyone's getting along, everything was running smoothly, makes me wonder if he ever wanted to just, let it all go, and just have fun, like there were no boundaries, no rules.

"*Sigh*," I looked up at the ceiling as I walked.

"Optimus, why'd you give me the Matrix? I can't take the job of Autobot leader." I muttered to myself out loud.

I looked back in front of me; my mind was all mixed up. I didn't know how I was feeling, I didn't even know WHAT to feel, was there something I'm meant to be feeling?

Hot Shot keeps on telling me that I should be happy that I'm leader. Well, why wouldn't I be, I mean, I am, kinda.

Something's just inside, bugging me, but what? What's driving me nuts like this?!

Hot Shot's POV

I slowed down to a walk. It'd hopefully be a while before Dash and Sideswipe catch up with me.

Jetfire won't let up the fact that Optimus gave HIM the Matrix, man, that guy's really got to let go and move on!

"If I got the Matrix, well, I rather not remember that."

I thought of that time, that time Optimus sacrificed himself for us, and for the Earth.

I went berserk! Nothing seemed important to me. I guess I just didn't want to accept the fact that Optimus was gone. At least he came back, but being leader wasn't easy.

I smirked at myself

I kept seeing Optimus everywhere, I even mistook Jetfire for him.

"HHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BBBBBRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I froze, and slowly, clock work like turned my head around to have Dash and Sideswipe running closer and closer to me.

"Oh no, not again!!"

I ran, ran for my life!

But I started running too late, within seconds, I was tackled down by the two.

"HA! GOTCHA!" Dash said, wile sitting on my legs.

"What's going on out here?" Hoist opened the door to the training center, and looked down.

"Hiya Hoist!" Dash waved at him, still sitting on me.

"Um, hi guys. Watcha doing?"

"Chasing bro!" Sideswipe let out.

"Riiight, um, I'll just go back to my training now." He closed the door.

"NO WAIT! HELP!" I yelled to him, but Dash just smiled.

"Sorry Hot Shot, you'll have to get yourself out of this one!" I heard Hoist's laugh behind the door.

"What's going on out there?"

"Nothing, Dash and Sideswipe are trying to catch Hot Shot again."

"I take they succeeded."

I heard Blurr and Hoist laugh.

"Did Scavenger sleep through all that?"

"Yeah."

Scavenger was still asleep, no surprise, the guy hardly trains anyone, just sleeps. I ought to know, I was his first student.

"Ok, Dash, when are you going to get off of me?!" I turned back to my present problem.

Dash's POV

" Well, I don't know, that depends." I smiled and winked at Sideswipe. He laughed.

"Depends on what?!" Hot Shot seemed desperate.

"If you can beat me and Sideswipe in a 2 on 1 match."

"Sure I can, I'll beat you no problem, let's get started!"

"Nuh uh! Not in a fight, in Battle Ships!"

Sideswipe and I laughed at Hot Shot's annoyed face, but he sighed and gave in. This wasn't anything serious, it was all, just for fun!

ceestar: Ok! Next chapter, the baddies are coming in! They got dumb names, THE ELEMENTACONS, yeesh!! Sorry, but I can't think of anything else :p. Ok, hope you liked this chapter.
