Hello everyone!

I've been wanting to do this one for a while.
Who here loves Mythbusters?!

Chapter 6

'Tai, I'm not sure about this.'

It was a cold winter day in December, snow covered the ground in a thick white sheet of white, ice covered the roads like an ice skating rink, and that meant both Sam and Tai were stuck at the Autobot base for a few days.

Which was alright.

Optimus had decided that the roads were not safe, not even for a Cybertronian. Especially after Bumblebee had nearly spun out and went off a cliff. That had nearly gave the leader a spark attack. So, he had insisted that the two human teens stay with them until the ice was taken care of by the snow plows. Barricade had arrived from his mission, snow covering half of his exterior. He grumbled as he trailed the white substance into the base and shook himself off, getting snow everywhere.

'Oh come on, Sam...' She laughed, placing the bottles of Diet Coke she had purchased and the packs of mentos down. 'This'll be fun...besides, the bots find human elements and reactions fascinating!'

'But diet coke and mentos?' He asked picking up a tube of mentos and looking it over.

'Oh, come on....don't pretend you haven't thought about trying it!' She smirked as she carefully placed the bottles on the human sized table, which was on top of the Autobot sized table.

Sam than grinned and nodded excitedly. 'Yeah...okay!'

Tai than started to work on the mechanism that would drop the mints into the bottles of diet cola. She made sure the tubes that were attached to the top of the bottles were sealed so none of the carbonation would escape. 'Man Tai, are you the next Kari Byron?'
Tai scoffed. 'Hah, I wish...all I need is a labcoat and red bikini...but sadly, it's minus 95 degrees out there.'

'Actually Tatyana, it is thirty five degrees Fahrenheit.' Ratchet explained, walking in carrying a few tools. 'And steadily decreasing.'

'Yeah, yeah...smart aft Docbot.' She muttered, going back to building her contraption. Optimus then walked in, tilting his head in fascination at what his daughter was doing.

'That is a very impressive project, sweetheart.' He commented, sitting in one of the chairs. 'What is it?'

'Well, Sam and I are practically obsessed with this show on the Discovery channel called Mythbusters, and this new show called Time warp...they were experimenting with this fun little experiment involving Diet Coke and Mentos. So since, we're going to be here for a couple of days...and the contraption they were using didn't look to difficult to replicate...I'd figure instead of just showing you the show...' She turned to everyone in the room. 'Why not show you first hand?'

Ratchet and Optimus glanced at one another. 'That sounds interesting...should everyone be present?'

'Not nessesery, but it would be more fun...' She muttered, attaching the last tube to a bottle and placing four mentos in each container. 'Lot's of fun.'

A few minutes later, all of the other Bots had gathered in the room. Bumblebee, Jazz, and Barricade had front row seats. They didn't know if this was going to be a good thing or a bad thing.

'Hello Gentlemen, I hope you all are ready for a human science lesson.' Sam stated. 'And here is your Professor..Miss Tatyana Topaz Witwicky-Prime.'

Tai than walked out wearing what looked like a white Doctor's coat and pair of fake glasses, while carrying a clipboard and a pen. 'Good evening everyone.'

Optimus shook his head with a chuckle and rested his head on his hand. Sunny and Sides glanced at one another in confusion while Ratchet and Ironhide simply looked bored. The three mechs up front were chuckling in amusement.

'Thank you, my dear assistant.' She smiled. 'Now, Diet Cola and Mentos...how does it work you ask?' She picked up a spare bottle of the soda and a mento. 'How does something so small and delicious become a phenomenal experiment that can cause major Ant infestation? The answer is simple...chemical reaction. It was discovered on Mythbusters that the chemicals; caffeine, potassium benzoate, and aspartame contained in the diet coke and the gelatin and gum Arabic in the mentos all contribute to the 'jet' effect.' She then took a big mouthful of the liquid and popped the mento in her mouth. What happened next shocked the Autobots. Brown foam erupted from the cyborg girls mouth, which formed a puddle at her feet. She simply laughed and spat the mento out and wiped her mouth with her sleeve. 'That is only a small demonstration...now for the real thing.' She headed over to her contraption. 'Sam...care to assist me?'

Sam nodded excitedly, putting on his own white coat.

'Alrighty...ready whenever you are...' He said, standing next to her and holding onto his own pulley string.

'Alright everyone...anyone made out of metal may want to stand back a few meters.' All of the mechs backed up, keeping their optics on the two humans and the contraption.

'3...2...' Both of the teens chanted at the same time. '1.' The effect was instantaneous. The mentos dropped down the tubes and into the soda...which than caused what looked like twelve mini geysers made of brown foamy liquid to shoot up thirty feet into the air.

Optimus's optics widened at the display, as did all of the others. This was amazing...the reaction of the two food products were incredible.

'Fascinating.' Ratchet muttered.

The twins just stayed as far away as possible from the sticky liquid.

The liquid than rained back down on the two teens. Tai closed her optic so it wouldn't get in there. They both laughed and yelled when the liquid reached them, soaking them through completely. 'Oh my god! Oh my god!' Sam laughed, slipping and falling onto his side. Tai's hair was covering her face and her makeup was running down her face, but she was laughing just as hard.

'And that my lil' darling's...is science.' She pushed her wet hair out of her face while high fiving Sam. They both than smirked at each other and turned to all of the mechs.

'Who wants a hug?' They both held out their arms, which were dripping wet with diet coke. Barricade, Bumblebee, and Jazz glanced at each other and then bolted out of the recreational room as fast as they could, with the two teens right behind them.

Optimus shook his head while smirking.

'Hey!' Ratchet called after them. 'Whose going to clean up this slag?' Ironhide and the twins glanced at one another and quietly slipped out of the room which only left Optimus.

'I'll get the hose.' The leader grumbled. Ratchet smirked as he walked away.

Like father, like daughter.

That was fun!
