Transformers Prime - Our daily life

Episode 5 - Surrounded by idiots

Starscream was leaning on Soundwave who was watching television and Breakdown was playing with a rubric cube next to them. Their lord was sitting in his room and for sure he was making something new to make heir life miserable. Starscream lazily closed his eyes, and then quickly fell asleep. Breakdown noticed it after while and he looked at Soundwave.

"That's like when we were kids." Breakdown smiled and he put away the cube. Suddenly the door smashed open and he with shriek pulled Soundwave and Starscream close. After the while he finally looked over his shoulder and he blinked in wonder. Soundwave managed to look too, and in the door was standing Knockout.

"Doctor in the house!" Knockout called and in the moment Breakdown pulled him tight to his chest. "Watch the paint!" Knockout jerked out, but Breakdown patted him content on the back. He was actually glad Knockout is back. "Ok big guy, put me down, and put me down." Breakdown obeyed and Knockout polished his chassis. "Geez, you must be really bored here without me. Mainly when I look at Starscream, right Sounds?"

"Shut up Knockout..." Starscream talked in his sleep and red mech with grin on his face came close. He chuckled, when he thought what he could do to Starscream like this. But then he just shook head and clapped Soundwave on shoulder.

"So what?" Breakdown sat back on the couch and Knockout sat between him and sleeping Starscream, who was now rather snuggling to Soundwave. Knockout then took out golden paper.

"I've gooot it. I'm again an official doctor of this mad house."

"Oooooh reallllyyyyyy... zzzz..." Starscream snorted and Knockout looked at him. Then he with grin reached with hands for his aft, touched it, rubbed it and then pulled it.

"I'm home Screamyy 3" Knockout winked and in one moment he had Starscream's heel right in his face. Starscream was all red in face and he was pulling heel into Knockout's face even deeper. Breakdown with Soundwave were just watching it.

"Looks like he missed you." Breakdown said and Soundwave was just watching it, leaning on his hand.

"Why you...!" Before Knockout could get on Starscream, Breakdown pulled him back and Soundwave did the same thing with Starscream. They were barking at each other like furious dogs, and Soundwave with Breakdown decided to make them silent, by hitting their heads. They then put two mechs next to each other and covered them with a blanket.

"... They look kinda content now." Soundwave had to nod on this. They could watch it longer, but in the moment Megatron came in. He wanted to shout, but Soundwave made gesture to be quiet. Megatron raised an eyebrow and then came close too. He chuckled, when he saw it, Breakdown wanted to say something, but Megatron made him quiet. They will watch for a while. After a while of starring, Megatron with Breakdown actually laughed, when Knockout snuggled to Starscream and hug him tight. He then began to lick his neck, and they laughed again.

"Soundwave we should stop paying for cable TV, this is so much better and it's free." Megatron chuckled and Soundwave was just watching it, tapping one of fingers on his face. They were standing for next thirty minutes, with big laughter. Megatron was really wondering, how it didn't wake them up. When he realized they have a work to do, they woke up by themselves. Starscream opened eyes, just when Knockout was licking his lips and he immediately with screaming and swearing threw him away. Then he looked furiously around and went all red in the face, when he saw other Decepticons standing there. They were laughing hard except Soundwave. "Ok time to do something useful."

"You are not curious how I managed to get my license back?" They all looked on Knockout and red mech began to talk, when he made himself comfortable on the floor. "Well..."

"On the university I met Ratchet. I made it clear, I don't want any fight. After all I am too beautiful for that. We made a deal. We will cheat together and we will make it fast. It went just excellent I tell you. They were short on us. I tell you, I didn't know an Autobot can cheat so well. And too... When you do everything as best it can be done, chicks go after you." Other Decepticons were quiet, because they knew what he means. Bu he still said it. "Yeah I admit it guys. When we woke up in the morning next to each other, with some drinks, magazines, and plenty of nice chicks, it was nice. Any questions?" They were rather quiet.

"Ok, now when we know this, we can go do something useful." Megatron said it and then pulled them all by arms. He threw them into chairs one by one. They landed with their faces on the table and confused looked around. There was dark everywhere. Only thing what was visible was their optics and lighting stripes on Soundwave's and Knockout's body.

"Knockout..."

"Yes Breakdown?"

"... I feel kinda scared." Starscream had to sigh on this and then a blue light appeared. Megatron came out in its shine and grinned on his soldiers.

"Well well my boys. Because I learned that, you are all total imbeciles!... Except you Soundwave. So I decided you will try this... simple... test." He threw data pads in front of them and they all looked at them. "You will begin now in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Now! And make it all by yourself!" Decepticons began to read and after one minute they actually began to panic inside. Knockout whispered to Starscream.

"Hey Scream... how am I supposed to write my name there?"

"I don't know!" Starscream jerked out and Breakdown made and astonishing sound. "I'll try first question." Starscream's hopes faded away very quickly. There was written "rise a hand". How was he supposed to do this? They were beginning to look at each other nervously.

"Count to seven? What am I? The university professor?" Breakdown freaked out and looked on the next question. „Write a." He put his head on the table and held it tight.

"Draw a line? Oh my Primus!" Knockout leaned back in the chair. This was harder than that exam for his license. They were all beginning to yell and cry in horror, except for Soundwave, who was making just fine. Starscream already gave up and was lying with his head and arms on table. But then he looked with one eye on Soundwave. He shifted closer to second mech and tried to look into his work. Soundwave was ignoring it, but in one sudden moment, Megatron stepped on Starscream's neck.

"WHAT DID I SAY? I said all by yourself Starscream!" Starscream was whining for air and Megatron removed his foot from his neck. Soundwave just looked on Starscream and shook his head. It was next hour, when Megatron finally get al data pads. When he looked at them, they were just sitting there, totally out. Only Soundwave was sitting normally and calm. Megatron had to roll his eyes, he expected this. "Steve..." He said and Eradicon rushed in no moment.

"Yes sir?"

"Take this and give it to my room. And don't look, and make sure no one will touch it." Megatron pointed out and Steve nodded furiously.

"Yes sir." He took data pads and left the room. Megatron just with a deep sigh sat on the chair and rubbed his face.

"Oh Primus. I'm surrounded by idiots, now it's official."
