Thanks to I am Blueberry(yes this is after T1 but with a living Jazz), DamonBamon,Noella50881, Starbee, and Mystical-Mist-Devil for reviewing the last chapter. Enjoy and I own nothing but Tallie and Allie. I'll update again tomorrow, promise!
Tallie's List-Rule 37
Pepper spray is banned from base
Tallie sat on the beach, pencil in hand and her sketch pad on her lap. She was far enough from base to get some peace and quiet and she had pepper spray in her bag just in case. Tallie had no idea what pepper spray would do to a mech but she figured it would be nasty or at least surprising enough to help her get away. As she drew she heard a rustle behind her. Tallie glanced over her shoulder but saw nothing. After a moment she shrugged and went back to drawing the beach in front of her. She heard a rustle again and spun around, dropping her pad and pencil as she glanced around. Still nothing. "Stupid crabs," she muttered and sat down again, opening her pad to a fresh page.
She had made it six seconds into the next drawing when she felt like she was being watched. Instead of turning around Tallie continued to draw. After a moment she reached into her bag as if searching for an eraser and she heard rustling behind her again. Her fingers closed around the pepper spray and she spun around suddenly, unleashing a blast of the substance. There was a yell and Mirage stumbled backwards, cloaking device off now. "Oops," Tallie muttered under her breath tiredly.
Jazz scrambled around the corner to see Mirage on the ground with his hands over his face and Tallie standing blankly in front of him. "This is gonna be an interestin' explanation ain't it?" Jazz asked his young charge who sighed heavily. "What exactly did ya do ta Mirage?"
"Pepper spray," Tallie said blankly.
"What?" Ratchet asked in a deadly calm voice from behind Jazz. Tallie lasted six seconds under the medic's harsh glare before she broke.
"How was I supposed to know it was Mirage and not a 'Con?" The two mechs stared in shock as the human stalked away from them, drawing pad and snapped pencil in hand.
Allie's List-Rule 37
Do not paint on Starscream's wings while he is in recharge
Allie had a plan. She had "borrowed" a container of saffron yellow paint from the art room at school and a paint brush. Starscream had taken night patrol and was still in recharge when Allie got back from school. The girl found him easily enough and got to work. An hour later the proud result was dripping letters that said Defeat is not an option on one side and But retreat is on the other. Allie nodded in satisfaction and went quietly to her room.
She managed to stay there undisturbed doing her homework like a good girl until the alarms went off. The Autobots were attacking. Oh this was just too good. Allie snickered to herself just as her phone vibrated. The text was from an unfamiliar number and when she opened it she saw it was a picture of Starscream's wings. The text underneath it said Did you do this? Tallie; had to be her. No other human could have gotten her number.
Yes. Allie sent back to the goody-two-shoes Autobot adopted girl. Her phone vibrated again almost immediately.
Ironhide says to tell you nice work. Allie stared at the text in shock for a few minutes before busting out laughing. This was just too good!
