Supposed to be a 2 part story, turned out 3... For the moment... Can happen to be more.

This was funny to write and let imagination fly, thus I had to include it.

Anyway, Enjoy!

Part 2

The group had been deliberating for a while now about a good lesson to teach their rookie. A pair of ideas crossed their minds, but yet again non of them suited them. It wasn't easy, neither simple to be carried them out. It was frustrating!

"Ok, ok, team. Why don't we chill down?" The green wrecker tried to talk them down. The plans the former 'Con was elaborating were way too much for a young mech like Smokey. "Are you sure you wanna go this way?"

*Bulk's right.* Bumblebee admitted. *I think we're getting a little bit... Convoluted.*

"Smokescreen needs to learn." Ratchet intervened this time. "I recognise Knockout is getting maybe too creative, but I don't see any other option."

"Hey, don't blame me! I'm just giving ideas..." The younger medic fussed.

"Getting Smokey lost in an isolated forest, with no clue where he is, is not a good reprimand, Knockout, it's a punishment." Arcee replied firmly. "Maybe Megatron had his ways, but you're not within Decepticons anymore. You're now with us. You should go make your mind up about it." She let the information sink in his processor. "We don't use violence here. We want to make the novice to learn, reflexing by himself. Understood?"

"Yes, commander..." The red mech responded unwillingly. "Anyway, Megatron's punishments were much worse than what I suggested..." He silenced for a moment before his optics shone in excitement again. "Hey, Ratchet, when did Smokescreen pass his last medical check? We take advantage and tight some loosen bolts in place..."

"No, definitely no." The old doctor's words were sharp. "We are not doing that. Knockout, you better stay in silence. Every idea you provide is worse than the previous one."

The red mech was about to come back when Bulkhead cut him off. "Hey, guys, guys! Why don't we ask..." He stood still as he received a message. "Ah... Miko..." He rubbed his face, sighing. "Not now." He sighed.

"Miko? What is it with her?" Arcee inquired.

"No, it's just that she sent me a video of some humans doing some sort of silly things..." He dismissed it, taking his data pad out and tending it to her. She played it while Bumblebee and Knockout poked their helms over her shoulders. "It has nothing to do with this. I was just gonna say that..."

*Hey, you think...?* The yellow scout looked at the former 'Con, who didn't hesitate to return the gaze.

"Yes, it could work for us..." Knockout commented while grabbing the data pad and observing, focused. "It really could..."

"Ok, what are you two up to?" The commander said, looking at both mech by her side. Knockout passed the data pad to the older medic, who reluctantly watched it. "I've seen exactly the same yet I don't get it."

*The idea is simple.* 'Bee started. *We could change this idea on our favor and use it to teach Smokescreen...*

"And it's not risky, nor complicated, nor... Too creative" The younger medic smirked again, satisfied.

"I always thought humans waisted their intelligence doing such things... But this particular one, adapted to our situation..." Ratchet admitted. "... Is just perfect."
