AN: If you haven't watched Unnatural History that used to be on Cartoon Network, or read Real Bout High School (manga), then you won't know where I got the cold sleep trick and the blood illusion idea from.
"What are you guys doing?" asked Carly.
"We wanna see if we can scare Sandra!" said Cliffjumper.
The Autobots were setting up some weird contraption just so they can see Sandra get frightened when she sees it.
Why even Optimus and the Hatchet joined in the trick was beyond anyone's knowledge.
"But isn't that kind of cruel and unfair. You know, because it's like a bunch of you guys against a human?"
"Aw don't be such spoiled sports! We're just givin' her a li'l and if it's too much fer her to handle, we'll stop." said Ironhide.
"Still downright mean if you ask me." muttered Sparkplug.
That's when Sandra's cousins walked in.
"Hey, guys! What are you doing?" said Calvin.
"They're all going to do something to give Sandra a scare." said Spike.
"Yeah, that's really not a good idea." Debbie smirked.
"Huh?" The three cousins began whispering into Spike, Carly, and Sparkplug's ears, once they're done, the other three had evil smirks on their faces.
"Ooooh, this is going to be interesting!"
Sandra sighed as she began to walk towards the hallway. After those long hours of training, and studying, she just wanted to go into her room and rest.
But as she walked in the hallway, she kept hearing strange noises.
"Hello?" she said as she turned.
There was nothing.
"Huh, that's strange." She said. But she continued walking across the hallway to her room.
But something was off, the hallway was starting to get darker and the noises just got louder and louder.
"Okay, this is getting weird. What the heck is going on?"
Instead of just turning away like a person normally would do, Sandra began following where the noise was coming from, pulling out a flashlight from her bag as it just grew darker.
Until the noise stopped and she was in front of the door to a room.
She entered. The room was pitch black and it was quiet.
Too quiet.
"Okay...I'm currently in a completely dark room which is absolutely silent and I have no idea what's going on. So-"
"!"
The room was filled with a high pitch spine-chilling scream and a small light suddenly turns on.
In front of Sandra was a highly disfigured girl with the most creepiest eyes and smile you could ever think off.
Sandra jumped back in shock, giving off a little "scared" noise.
That was when the lights turn on completely and the room was filled with laughter from the Autobots. The other six humans, on the other hand, just gave her a smile, knowing what's going to come next.
"Man, you should've seen your face, kid!" laughed Brawn.
"I know! You were just talking to yourself and then suddenly we did our trick and then..." Bumblebee stopped talking when he realized that Sandra wasn't moving, her eyes were still wide and her mouth was slightly open.
"Little one? Are you alright?" asked Optimus, clearly worried.
No answer.
"We didn't scare ya too bad did we?" asked Jazz.
What happened next made every bots' spark clench in fear.
Blood. Blood began trickling down Sandra's face. Once it flowed all the way down her face, Sandra began to fall backwards to the ground. Her gazeless eyes facing the heavens.
The six humans began to rush to Sandra's side. Spike started to hold her wrist to find a pulse, he then leaned in to hear if Sandra was breathing.
Nope. No pulse and no sign of breathing.
"She's not breathing and she doesn't have a pulse."
"WHAT?" The Autobots shouted in shock.
"You heard me! She doesn't have a pulse and she's not breathing!"
Ratchet immediately raced up towards where Sandra was lying and began to run scans along her both.
His optics grew wide with fear.
"No...no! It can't be happening!" He frantically shouted.
"What are ya talking about Ratch?" asked Ironhide.
"Her heart...it's not beating."
Carly then turned towards the Autobots.
"Great job, you guys! You succeeded in literally scaring her to death!" she shouted.
"We didn't mean to! All we wanted was just to give her a scare!" said Hound, clearly horrified like the rest of the Autobots.
"Yeah, but it didn't mean you had to go and scare her so her heart would stop beating!" snapped Spike.
"I know, what'll we do?"
"What are we going to tell her parents?"
"What'll the humans say when they hear about this?"
"Slag, we should never have done this!"
"We're murderers! Just like Decepticons! I can't believe it!"
The six humans just simply stared in amusement, until Debbie bended down toward Sandra's body.
"Sandra, it looks like they learned their lesson, you can stop now."
Sandra immediately sat up, with no blood on her face, shocking the Autobots to thy kingdom come.
"Well, okay then." She said.
"Oh no! It's a zombie! We have to kill it!" shouted Red Alert, clearly starting to glitch.
"Red, you really have to stop watching those human horror movies. She's not a zombie, but she's not dead either."
Ratchet scanned her body again.
"Her heart is beating normally." Ratchet looked at Sandra, clearly scared at what had happened. "Care to explain what happened?"
Sandra laughed, "Easy! I just did the illusion of blood trickling down my face and the cold sleep trick!"
"The cold what?"
"Cold sleep trick. It's when our heart stops beating, but we are able to restart our heart to beat again. When you're a beginner, you need some special items to stop your heart. Once you've mastered the trick, you are capable of voluntarily stopping it yourself."
"Dat is just scary, man." frowned Jazz.
"Well, it serves you right for trying to scare me in the first place." Sandra retorted.
"What? What do you mean by 'trying'?" asked Cliffjumper.
"Don't you guys get it? You can't scare Sandra. But she'll scare you if you try scaring her." said Nelson.
"They explained the trick to us, so we decided to not talk you guys out of it." Carly smiled.
"Now, don't you think you shouldn't have tried to scare her?"
All the Autobots simply nodded. After what just happened, it scared them to the living Pit when they thought they killed Sandra.
But they all had a laugh about it at the end of the day, joking about it with Sandra.
And they immediately made Sandra promise to tell them when she was going to do the trick again.
After all, what they thought would scare Sandra resulted in them getting scared instead.
