"Knock Out! Just go away!"

Knock Out flailed as Diana shouted at him, barely ducking under a wrench that she had thrown at him. "What, what did I do?" the mech sidestepped another hurled tool, blinking out of confusion as Diana tore about her tool bench.

"Go! Away!" she shouted again, disappearing behind the curtain that had been strung up in a corner of the room that had been morphed into a makeshift garage for her, a small living area set up behind the curtain. "If you don't I'll key your doors!"

He lifted his hands, backing away at her threat until he was in the hallway, confusion still on his face as he turned away from her garage, her curses still floating from behind the curtain. He trudged his way to the Common Area of the Autobot's base, his dragging feet catching the attention of Miko, Raf and Jack.

"What's eating you?" Jack asked, leaning over the back of the couch in the upper area the children had claimed.

Ratchet barely glanced up from his work, though Arcee and Smokescreen turned to Knock Out, the pair being the only other 'bots in the room.

"It's Diana, she's mad." Knock Out mumbled, rubbing at the back of his head. "She was throwing wrenches at me!" he glanced down at himself, trying to twist to examine his body. "She didn't get me, did she?"

Arcee frowned, setting a hand on her hip. "She was throwing things at you? That doesn't sound normal, what'd you do?"

"Why do you assume I've done something?" Knock Out scowled, tossing a half hearted glare at the femme.

Arcee merely returned the glare with a look that said "Are you serious?".

The red mech sighed. "I don't understand, she was sitting and working on a drive shaft, then she asks me if I think she'd gotten fat, she says she feels fat."

"Oh boy..." Raf murmured, shaking his head lightly.

"I told her that if she was fat, maybe she should eat less." Knock Out continued, "Then she snapped at me, she's never been angry like this!"

While the other Autobots exchanged confused looks, Miko burst out laughing, drawing all eyes and optics to her.

"Doc, there are some things you just never say to a girl, especially when it's that time of the month." Miko grinned. "She'll be over it in a few days."

Knock Out tilted his head to the side. "That time of the month?" he echoed. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Miko laughed again, Jack and Raf suddenly looking uncomfortable as Arcee, Smokescreen and even Ratchet looked to the human girl for an explanation.

"Look up a menstrual cycle, period, Aunt Flo, on the rag, riding the sheep." Miko laughed once more, turning her attention back to the video game that sat paused, the two teenage boys more than happy to focus on their game instead of the conversation at hand.

"Menstrual..." Knock Out repeated, taking a moment to search the internet as Miko suggested.

The other Autobot's had done the same, and there was a collective awkwardness as they all found the answer to Diana's behavior.

"Oh gross!" Smokescreen wailed, making a face and waving his hands. "I did NOT need to know that about humans."

Ratchet only shrugged. "Human anatomy." he mumbled, looking back to his work.

Arcee snickered, folding her arms over her chest. "Lucky you Knock Out, you get a scraplet once a month."

Knock Out groaned, his shoulders falling in a pout. "How do I fix it?"

"You don't fix it, you wait it out." Miko sang from the upper level. "But, chocolate helps!"

The former Decepticon frowned, shaking his head lightly. "I've said it once, I'll say it again, you fleshies are messed up."

"Oh, so I'm messed up now?" an angry voice came from the doorway in the opposite wall, Diana standing there and glaring at Knock Out.

Arcee and Smokescreen winced, backing away from Knock Out as Diana advanced on him, the children trying to sink lower on their couch, though Miko was still trying to hide her laughter.

"If I'm so messed up, why don't you just leave, huh!" Diana shouted at Knock Out, the poor mech lifting his hands and trying to speak, only to have Diana wave a finger at him. "You just get your mechanical ass back in here and help me." with that she turned on a heel, stalking back towards her garage.

Knock Out whined, giving the others a look that begged for help before trudging after his beloved. "But, but you told me to leave!" his voice fading as he moved away.

"Doc Knock, whipped by a fleshy." Miko grinned, lifting her hand and jerking her fist about as if she were cracking a whip.

"Hey, we just gotta turn Diana loose on Megatron." Jack chuckled.

"The war'd be over in seconds." Raf agreed. "But, then we'd have to deal with that." he jerked a thumb towards the doorway, the echoing sounds of banging metal and Diana cursing floating down the hallway.


*hugs all* Hiya guys, I realized I've been neglecting N.F.E., so I decided to put up a one shot! This idea came into me head some time ago, wondering how the Transformers would react to their human friends human needs/issues haha. Just a blurb in between chapters, though I am working on a new one, promise!

I also want to say a BIG thank you to those who read and review! I promise I read each and every review, even if I don't reply! (I usually read the notification via email on my iphone and it pees itself if I try to open FF on it...)

*One shots don't have any set place in my main story, they just occur at some point in the story line, use your imagination. :)*
