Tallie's List-Rule 17
Do not under any circumstances attempt to skip school
Tallie had decided she had taken enough crap from Allie this week and she was skipping school. She waited inside the school until Jazz left and then darted off and made her way down the street. She made it an hour without detection but a cop finally found her hanging out at a crumbling overpass in an almost abandoned part of town. Then when she saw the inscription on the side of the mustang her eyes widened. To punish and enslave. She screamed as the cop car transformed into Barricade. The screaming would have worked if she was on base but out here in the middle of nowhere it helped no one. Barricade picked her up easily before she could run only to be blasted in the back.
Tallie went tumbling through the air only to be caught by someone and placed on the ground. Jazz transformed, door open for her to climb in. "Get in." Tallie gulped at his tone of voice and did as she was told. They zoomed by Ironhide who was still blasting Barricade and she sat in silence as Jazz ranted about how stupid she'd been. Her fingers clenched around her backpack straps and her jaw was sore from clenching her teeth.
What was only minutes later but felt like hours the door flung open and Tallie slid reluctantly out, knowing she would get the same lecture from at least Ratchet now. She stood there rather dejectedly while Jazz raced off to see if Ironhide needed any help (not likely). "What's wrong?" Will Lennox, commander of the humans at NEST, asked.
"I attempted to skip school and almost got killed by Barricade," Tallie said with a heavy sigh.
Lennox glanced around and then whisper conspiratorially in her ear," I think you're getting away with skipping school."
Tallie giggled until an all too familiar voice from behind her asked, "Just what are you doing back here this early in the day?" Prowl. Tallie let out another heavy sigh and turned around to explain what was going on. This was going to be a very long day.
Allie's List-Rule 16
Never ask Barricade where he was at Mission City
Allie was bored, which was a normal occupation for the seventeen year old. It also meant trouble. When Allie was bored bad things tended to happen. "Hey Barricade," Allie said.
"What?" the mech asked warily. He knew as well as the rest of them that bad things happened when the young human was bored.
"Where were you during Mission City? I mean everyone else talks about it but they always mention that you're never there. What's up with that? Did you glitch or something?" Her rant was cut off by a shriek as she was picked up and promptly thrown through a wall where she landed dazed and groaning on the floor. Moments later there was a massive bang and Barricade came flying through the wall to land next to her. Allie had only one thought circling her brain before she passed out. Hook was not going to be pleased about that.
Just before everything faded to black she heard Barricade snarl, "Slagging human." Then the world went black.
