This is officially too much fun!

I love one-shots!
Thanks again to my good friend Inspire for this awesome and hilarious idea!

Onward!

Chapter 2

'Pump it up!' Tai exclaimed, running into the Autobot's workout room. She had managed to convince Sam to go to the gym with her earlier that morning, much to the amusement of Bumblebee and Blurr. Tai was still full of energy as she bolted about like a hummingbird while Sam could barely walk without gasping. 'Pump it! Pump it! Pump it!' She continued, punching the air before doing a flying karate kid like kick.

'Hey guys!' She than started laughing at what she saw. The twins seemed to be bench pressing over on the far side of the room, Ratchet was weight lifting, as was Optimus, and by the sounds of explosions and the shaking of the walls, Ironhide was in his shooting range. 'What are you dudes up too?'

'What does it look like?!' Sunny snapped, struggling to lift up the huge weight that was made out of some sort of pipe with two Volkswagen beetles on either end.

'It looks like your hurting yourself.' Tai replied with her usual smart ass attitude. 'But that's nothing new...someone's got to do it, and Ironhide is busy!'

With a grin, she wandered over to where Optimus and the Hatchet were. She grabbed a pair of human sized ten pounders and started lifting them, copying their moves.
'I had no idea you guys worked out!' She laughed.

Optimus chuckled. 'But of course, like humans we have to build up our strength...but unlike humans, it does not take as long.'

'Huh.' She nodded in understanding. Something caught her eye on the other side of the room, and what she saw caught her off guard.

There was her Jazzman, balancing on a huge storm drain pipe while holding a smaller one above his head. 'Hey babe!' He called, almost falling off as he gave her a quick wave.

Waltzing over to him with her pierced eyebrow raised, she crossed her arms over her toned stomach and leaned to the side. 'Question...' She started. 'What in the fragtonic universe are you doing?'

'Ratchet is making me practice my stealth and posture...' He grunted as he continued fighting to keep his balance.

'How's it working for ya?' She asked.

Before he could answer, he fell off the pipe with a yelp and landed in front of her with a crash. 'Not good..' He whimpered out as he sat up, rubbing his head.

She nodded sympathetically and patted his clawed hand. With a grin, she climbed onto Jazz's shoulders and onto the large pipe.

'Tatyana!' Ratchet exclaimed, nearly dropping his own weights onto the unsuspecting Optimus's foot. 'What are you doing?'

'Improving my stealth and posture!' She teased as she stood up with a laugh. Ratchet glared.

'Tai-dye, it takes practice before you can even come close to...' Jazz never got to finish his sentence because at that moment, Tai did something pretty impressive. With fluid like movements, she was now balancing on her hands as she slowly made her way down the long pipe. 'Nevermind...' He grumbled, muttering something that sounded like, 'Show off.'

'I heard that!' She laughed as she than stretched her legs to her front and straightened herself up. She noticed everyone staring at her. 'One of the families I stayed with were gymnasts.' She shrugged, jumping down onto the floor. 'This place is the Bomb!' She exclaimed excitedly. The sounds of pained gasps reached her ears, causing her to glance at the door.

'Oh the triumphant return!' She laughed as Sam limped in slowly. Optimus and everyone turned to see Sam, who looked like he was in pain.

'Hello Sam.' Optimus greeted with a smile. 'Are you alright?'

'Never...better...' He grunted out as he lifted one of his legs in an effort to walk better. Tai couldn't help but laugh at her cousin's pain. She didn't feel much pity, she told him not to push himself too much when he was just starting out. 'Well Sam...I really hate to say I told you so...but...' She than pointed at him and laughed a loud, over exaggerated laugh.

'If I wasn't in pain...you'd so get it...' Sam tried to run to her, but ended up clutching his left hamstring in agony.

'I told you not to lift eighty pounds when you're just starting!' She laughed, leaning against Jazz's leg to support herself. 'Start out small' I said but Nooo...'I'm a man, I gotta do eighty...' She deepened her voice. 'Moron!'

'Oh shut up!' He sat down slowly, before laying flat on his back. 'I want to go home and whimper.'

Bumblebee kneeled next to him, poking him carefully. 'Urrghh...' Sam groaned pitifully.

'Maybe you should take him home.' Ratchet said in concern. 'He looks like he is in pain.'

'Bee...' Sam whimpered, giving a puppy face and holding his arms up. 'Carry me.'

Bumblebee raised an optic ridge and with a shrug, gently scooped up the whimpering Witwicky.
'I'll see you at home, you big wimp...' She called to the two retreating forms. A middle finer appeared from over Bumblebee's hand. 'Aw you still love me!' She called out.

The bots had all gone back to what they were doing by the time Tai turned back around. She than decided to have some fun with them for a while. She whipped out her phone and texted Blurr, who she had made stay at home to have a rest.

Staying at base for a while. Don't worry, I will call later.

She placed it back in her bag and watched them all work out for a couple of minutes, especially Jazz.

Not wanting to be left out, she skipped joyfully over to Ratchet and tapped his leg. 'Hey Docbot...down here!'

Ratchet looked down at Tai with a look of confusion. 'What?'

She waved her hand, beckoning him closer. 'Mind if I join?' Ratchet gave another look of confusion before placing down his barbells and lifting her up by her outstretched hand.

'What is it you would like to do?'

'Help you!' She laughed as he placed her next to the huge barbells. She than climbed up onto them and held on as he lifted them up. 'You call that lifting!?!' She yelled, getting everyone's attention. 'I've seen old ladies lift better than you!'

Every mech in the room couldn't believe she was talking, no screaming, at Ratchet that way. Apparently neither could he, his optics turned a dangerous dark blue as he glared.

'Excuse me, young lady...' He said slowly. 'What do you think you are doing?'

'Motivating you!' She chimed in with a grin. 'Is it working?' She than cleared her throat and once again started yelling at the top of her lungs. 'You notice how clean the floor is? That is because you SUCK!!! Lift! Lift! Lift! Feel the burn! Come on you big wimp!'

It seemed to work, because Ratchet started doing more lifts than his previous time, being careful not to fling Tai off as he did. Her laughter echoed around the work out room as she went up and down over and over again.

'Whoa...this is fun! This is fun!' She shrieked with glee when she was lifted high up again. 'Hi Pops!' She called to Optimus as she waved. He started in alarm and quickly rushed over to her.

'Ratchet! Tatyana! What are you doing?' He asked, quickly reaching up to grab Tai from her precarious situation.

'Aww Dad!' Tai whined as she swung her legs. 'I was being careful!'

'Prime, you know I would never intentionally hurt her.' Ratchet tried to explain. Optimus just shot a glare in his direction.

'That's comforting!' Tai called, drumming her hands on Prime's enclosed fingers. 'I'd hate to think of what you do 'accidently'.' She made quotation marks with her fingers. 'Don't throw tools at me!' She laughed, ducking her head down.

'Although her odd motivational help seemed to have improved my numbers...' Ratchet continued, stretching out his large arm.

Tai smirked up at Optimus. 'See? I know what I'm doing...' She shifted her eyes away from the look of 'Yeah, right.' on the leaders face. 'Sort of...' And of course, her 'help' didn't stop there.

The next thing she knew, she was in the shooting range visiting with Ironhide, who of course was blowing stuff up left and right.

She danced right in to some music that was playing in her head, and immediately saw the Weapons specialist cleaning off his cannons.

She bolted over to him and jumped onto his leg. 'Heya Hidey!'

He started and looked down, before grinning slightly. 'Hello, Tai.' He greeted with a nod of his head. He than grumbled as went back to his cannons. Tai quirked an eyebrow at his random mood swing.

'What's up with you?' She asked.

'My aim...well, between you and me...is a bit off...' He muttered, looking embarrassed. 'I don't know what's wrong with me.'

'I seriously doubt anything is wrong with you.' Tai said reassuringly. 'I'm sure you're just having an off day...happens to everyone!' She patted his giant leg.

'I have never had an 'off day' in all my life...' He than sighed. 'I guess I must be losing my touch.'

Tai gasped loudly and dramatically, her hand on her chest. 'Don't ever say that!!' She than thought about it. 'Maybe what you need is a different target...' Ironhide than got a very peculiar look on his faceplates as he stared down at Tai with a growing smirk. Tai blinked and looked up at the weapons specialist. 'Why are you looking at me like that?'

Her blue eyes widened when she saw him power up his cannons. 'Oh! No no no no! I didn't...I didn't mean...Oh shit!' She than took off, screaming.

'HIDE!!!!!'

In her whole life, she had never run so fast as she dodged one small explosion after another. Ironhide wasn't really aiming for her, but apparently she made it easier for him to eat the giant cut outs of Decepticons behind her. Optimus and Jazz, hearing even more explosions than normal from the workout room, poked their heads in to see what the ruckus was about. They carefully approached the large black mech.

'Hello Ironhide.' Optimus greeted. Ironhide grunted back, obviously too busy to say a proper hello. 'What are you doing?'

'Target practice.' The weapons specialist stated simply, taking aim and letting loose another missile from his cannons.

'Uhh..yeah, I can see that...' Jazz than cleared his throat pipes and than asked, 'Have you see Tai?'

'She's the target!' Ironhide said with a very scary smile.

Optimus's and Jazz's optics both widened in horror. 'WHAT?!?' They both shrieked.

And at just the right moment, Tai literally flew in their direction and dove at their feet as another missile went off behind her. 'Holy...Mother!' She shrieked with laughter as she just laid on the ground, panting heavily. 'You jerk off!' She pointed up at Ironhide and than let her arm just fall back to the ground.

'I did not hit you, did I?' Ironhide asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

'Nope!' She continued to laugh, standing up. 'I'm just out of breath...but on the plus side, I made excellent time...and I still have all my appendages!' She jumped up and down excitedly, doing a few punches and kicks.

'And you have improved my shooting.' Ironhide sounded very pleased.

Tai gave a thumbs up. 'Well...glad to have helped...wasn't exactly what I had in mind but...whatevs!'

Optimus than kneeled down so quickly that when Tai turned around, she nearly collided with his ginourmous face. 'Jesus flipping Christ!' She exclaimed.

'Are you sure you are alright? Everything functioning correctly?' The towering commander asked.

'Gee...lemme check...' Craning her neck to look behind her, she did a complete turn before facing Optimus again. 'Yep...everything present and accounted for!'

Optimus nodded in relief and than went to give Ironhide a stern warning as to why humans should not be moving targets, no matter if they volunteer or not.

'I don' think I've ever seen 'Hide so happy...' Jazz muttered, leaning casually against the wall with Tai on his shoulder.

'Well any chance to shoot something that's running; he'll just go for it...' Tai laughed, giving Jazz a friendly flick on the side of his head.

Jazz chuckled as he tried to avoid more flicking and than an idea hit him.

'Hey, you up for driving the older guys nuts?'

'Is the sky blue?'

After fetching a huge stereo from Jazz's room, and a whole crap ton of downloaded music, they headed back into the workout room.

Everyone was busy doing their own thing so it was perfect for the two of them to plug in the music player, and Tai squatted down to look through Jazz's humongous collection of CD's.

'Hmm...Flo rida, DMX, Black eyed peas...God, do you have anything in here besides rap?'

'In the back!' Jazz called, working on the stereo.

She squealed in delight when she came across a section that was marked: 'Tai's music.' It consisted of techno, rock, Indie rock, Classic rock, hard rock, Celtic music, and some Pop.

'Lets' see...Ahh, here we go...' She picked out a CD and placed it in the player. 'Ready?'

'Plug your ears.' Jazz warned, holding up two extension cords. Tai immediately stuffed her fingers in her ears with a grin.

Jazz than plugged in the music and the sound wave was so intense that Tai flew onto her back with a high pitched yelp. 'Arg! My audio receptors!' Optimus yelled out in pain as he hands held the sides of his head. 'What is that noise?'

'It's Elvis Presley!' Tai yelled at the top of her lungs. 'The king of Rock and Roll!' She and Jazz started dancing along to the music, becoming completely oblivious to everyone else.

Even though the music was way too loud and it was killing everyone else's hearing, they couldn't help but find Tai's dancing impressive. She seemed to dance like a professional, doing what the bots found out from surfing the internet, a dance called the twist.

Jazz was trying to copy the moves and of course, he learned it quickly as he slid his feet from side to side easily.

'Ridiculous...' Sunny muttered. 'Right Sides?' He turned to look at his red twin and started when he noticed he wasn't there. 'Sides?'

'Sorry Sunny...' The red twin laughed, his own foot tapping. 'This is my song...' He grinned, dancing over to Tai and Jazz.

Sunny groaned and slapped his hand over his optics in embarrassment. Ironhide poked his head in at the music and rolled his optics in annoyance at the loud noise. Will always played loud music whenever they had to go somewhere, one of these days, he swore to take the radio out of him.

'Turn it down!' Ratchet yelled, his hands covering his audio receptors as well. 'Turn it down!'

'What!?' Tai, Jazz, and Sideswipe all yelled.

The next they knew, their fun was cut off abruptly when a missile hit the stereo, incinerating it into little pieces.

'What the hell?!' Jazz yelled out in anger, picking up the busted woofers. 'Hide!'

After recovering from the initial shock, Tai just started giggling. 'Oh well...it was fun while it lasted.' She patted Jazz's leg comfortingly. 'No worries, I'll get you a new stereo...'

Okay!
