Wheeljack woke at 8:30 in the morning, feeling quite refreshed. "Wow, maybe Ratchet was right. I feel so much better" he said, to himself getting up and walking over to the energon despencer. He spent the next half an hour preparing for a day of doing nothing. This will be my first day off in last three million years... Cool. He said to himself.
Suddenly Ratchet came in, not expecting Wheeljack to be awake. "Hey, I told you to recharge 0900, no earlier" Ratchet said, watching the inventor finish his energon.
"Yeah, I'm sorry Ratchet. But I couldn't spend another minute on the berth" Wheeljack said, placing his cup near the despencer.
Ratchet walked up and scanned Wheeljack. "You are looking a lot better from last night. How do you feel?" Ratchet asked.
"Fine. I feel a lot better" Wheeljack said.
"Good, I guess the day's yours" Ratchet said, turning to leave the room.
Ratchet got to the door, but was abruptly stopped. "Wait" Wheelajck said, ratchet turned to face him. "I don't know what to do. I have never had a day off let alone near a week. What do I do?" Wheeljack asked.
"Anything you want... Within reason" Ratchet said, Wheeljack smiled and nodded. Ratchet finally left and walked back to the med bay.
Wheeljack spent some time cleaning up his room, then decided to go down to the rec room. When he got there, he was surprised to find it fairly empty. "Hey Wheeljack" Bee said, as he walked in.
"Hey... Where is everyone?" Wheeljack asked, as he sat down.
"There doing their jobs, and daily routines" Bee explained. Then he looked at his internal clock.... "Come to think of it... I got to go. Sorry Wheelajck, maybe I'll see you later" Bee said, walking out.
And I'm surpose to do this for a week. Wheeljack thought to himself. He spent most of the morning in the rec room, before walking out to go to the firing range. When he got there, Ironhide was there practicing. Not saying he needs all that much practice. Wheeljack thought. "Hey Ironhide" he said, as he took the bay next to Ironhide.
"Hey Wheeljack" Ironhide replied. Ironhide watched as Wheeljack started shooting at the targets, but missed most of them... Got to feel sorry for him. Ironhide thought to himself. "Needs some help Wheeljack?" he asked, watching as Wheeljack continued to miss the targets.
"If you don't mind" Wheeljack replied politely.
"No, course not" Ironhide said, as he walked behind Wheeljack. He took a lok and realised that Wheeljack had the stance wrong. "Well for starters, instead of being straight on. Move this leg back" Ironhide said, patting Wheeljacks left leg. "Then move the right one forward. Even out the weight between them... And drop your centre of gravity" Ironhide explained, helping Wheeljack get the correct stance.
"This feels uncomfortable" Wheeljack said, but still doing what Ironhide asked.
"It'll take some time, to get use to it... But eventually it'll become second nature" Ironhide explained. "Stay there for a sec" he said, as he ran off. When he came back he had ascope in his hand. "Here this will help" he said, as he fitted it to Wheeljack weapon. "Now, look down the scope, and make sure that the target is in the middle of the scope. Now don't rush the shot... Give it a try" Ironhide said, taking a couple of steps back, giving Wheeljack plenty of room.
Wheeljack let off a few shots and was surprised that he actually hit the targets. "Wow. Hey thanks Ironhide" he said, turning back to the weapons specialist.
"Glad to help" he said. "Hey, you can keep that scope for a while" he said, turning back to is own targets. Wheeljack left the firing range, and decided to go down to the training room.
When he got there, he found Jazz and Prowl practicing. "Hey Wheeljack" Jazz said, as Wheeljack walked in.
"Hey Jazz, Prowl" he replied. "Mind if sit and watch?" he asked.
"Of course not" Prowl said, as they continued to practice. Wheeljack sat down and watched the 2IC and 3IC spar.
Eventually they finished, and looked at the inventor. "Hey Jack. You wanna learn a few moves?" Jazz asked.
"Um... I... Sure why not" he answered, unsure of what to do.
They both picked up on Wheeljack nervouness. "It's alright Wheeljack. You're fine. You're learning from the best" Prowl said, trying to calm the yound inventor.
Wheeljack listened to everything they had to say. Them they helped him with his stance and taught him three general moves. When they had finally finished, Wheeljack was trilled as to what he had learnt. "Thanks guys".
"No problem... But unfortunately I must go. Goodbye Wheeljack. Jazz"
"See ya, Prowl" they both replied at the same time.
"Anyway. I got to go to. Optimus is gonna be calling for me soon" Jazz said. "See ya Wheeljack"
"See ya Jazz" Wheeljack replied, as he walked out behind Jazz. As Jazz turned right to go to the command centre. Wheeljack turned left to head down to the med bay.
