A/N: I borrowed the idea for the second prank from DarkLadyIreth's fic, 'Magic and Metal', which is under Hideout Writer who is keeping it warm for her.

Chapter 15

Halo definitely did not like Galloway. He was rude to the others, he acted like he was better than them, like Lucius Malfoy did, he despised her family and he looked at her and Draco like he wanted to experiment on them. Which he did. No, she definitely did not like Galloway. In fact, she despised him. Her first meeting with the man hadn't gone well. He'd not disguised the fact that he'd seen her and Draco as experiments, and that had led to many threats of violence from both the Autobots and the human's who had their weapon's pointed at the man, who didn't take it well. He threatened to have the Autobots thrown off the planet, and the N.E.S.T team disbanded, and the soldiers dishonourably discharged. Though, Remus had managed to get everyone to cool down, thankfully. Halo was sure that when he meant that the Autobot's would be chucked off the planet, he didn't mean Halo and Draco as well. They had been so concerned over what he could be planning, none of them had told him what Halo and Draco had been called. Instead, Optimus told him that the two were still to receive designations, as they were still young, and hadn't received a name.

The day after Galloway's arrival, Dumbledore died, and some of the soldiers buried him far away from the base, in an unmarked grave. They would see no more trouble from that old coot. But it did seem they had traded one evil in for another, when Halo considered Galloway. She never changed back to human though. And she had no intention to either, while he was on base. That was, until she decided to mess with his head.

Halo quickly passed her plan along to the others on base, so they'd go with it, and then, she changed in one of the camera blind spots, before throwing her invisibility cloak over herself, and hurrying to another blind spot, where she took her cloak off, and stuffed it into one of her pockets. She then set off to find Galloway. When she spotted him, he was talking to Lennox. He caught sight of her and she waved.

"Who is that? She can't be authorised personnel, who is she?" Galloway asked.

"Who?" Lennox asked.

"That girl!" Galloway said.

"I don't see a girl, sir." Lennox said, and he made a show of scanning the area. "Well, there's Tonks over there." He pointed, in the other direction.

"Not her, I've met her, her. The girl with the black hair, and green eyes!"

"I don't see a girl like that sir, honestly." Lennox said.

Galloway charged towards Halo, determined to prove that she actually existed. Halo ducked round a corner, and pulled out her cloak, throwing it back on. When Galloway came round the corner, she had to clap her hand over her mouth, to stop herself from laughing. Lennox came round after him.

"She's gone." Galloway said.

"There was never anyone there, sir, perhaps, you should go lay down for a while?" Lennox asked, acting concerned.

Galloway eyed the area warily, before nodding. "Yeah, yeah I think I will." And with that, he walked off. Will flashed her a thumbs up, and walked away after him. Halo did the same thing seven more times, when different people were around, until he had a break down, and she thought that was the last they had seen of the man, but it wasn't to be.


The others had gone to a meeting one afternoon, that Halo hadn't wanted to go to, so she had been able to pass it off- she was supposed to be an infant after all, and infants didn't go to meetings like that, it helped that she did have the mentality of an infant a lot of the time now though. So, she hadn't gone to the meeting. Draco had, he didn't mind them for some strange reason. But the others had left her with paints to have fun, and she was currently painting a wall of the Rec room. She was meant to be painting the canvases provided for her, but like any infant, the best canvas was the walls.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" a snide voice asked. "One of the un-named sparklings."

Halo looked round, and saw Galloway. She frowned. She thought he'd left the base for good after he breakdown she'd caused.

"You've been painting on the walls? That's probably going to get you into trouble with the others. That is, if you were here to be in trouble. By the time they find your art work, you'll be in a lab somewhere." He smiled viciously.

Halo smirked evilly, and twirled the paintbrush in her hand. There was a reason no one should mess with a second generation Marauder- or Maraudette, in her case, she reasoned. She waved her hand at him, and he was floating in mid air, and then she got to work.

The others were heading for the Rec room, Defense Secretary Keller with them, and just as they reached it, they heard angered shouts.

"You put me down this instant! I swear you are going to be in so much trouble for this you little freak!"

They entered the room, to see Galloway suspended in the air, covered in paint, and only wearing a pair of briefs and a vest. He was covered in paint of many different colours, but on his back, written in neon green, which the wizards and witches claimed they had only ever seen on Dumbledore, were the word's 'I'm a' and then, on his neon purple, again only ever seen on Dumbledore, briefs, were the words 'Macho Man'.

Unable to contain himself, Bumblebee began blaring the song 'Macho Man' and everyone began laughing at Galloway's misfortune at the hands of Halo. Galloway saw the others, and realised his humiliation, but that just caused his anger to rocket to new heights.

"That's it; you'll all be off the planet for this! But not her she can stay so we can use her for spare parts when we have all the information we can get from her!" He growled as Halo put him down.

"No such thing will happen, Galloway!" Keller roared. "If anyone should be locked up, it should be you!" What followed next was a very long lecture for Galloway, which ended in him loosing his job in such a way that he would never, ever, get any job in politics again, and only the lowest paying, dirtiest jobs would probably ever higher him. His career was over, and he was escorted from the base, rather roughly and told never to come near it ever again. However, before he left, he turned round, and Halo changed back to human, smiled and waved. He pointed, and mouthed word's that wouldn't come out, and he reminded her of Marv, from Home Alone two, when Kevin was throwing bricks down from the roof, and Marv was trying to warn Harry. When he was gone, she changed back to being a sparkling. She knew he was heading for another break down, and this one would be bigger.

"Oh man, someone tell me that was recorded!" Fred said.

"Oh definitely." Jazz said, tapping his helm. "I got the whole thing!"

"I'm pretty sure that the president would do anything, so long as he was provided with a copy of that recording, and on that matter, so would I." Keller said to Jazz.

"I'll get right on it." Jazz said.

"Oh man, I wish that could be uploaded to YouTube." Sam said.

"That would be great." Mikayla agreed.

Halo walked over to Ironhide, and held out her arms for him to pick her up, which he did. "He's lucky I didn't blast him apart." Ironhide said, stroking Halo's back, but still laughing.

"I wouldn't have blamed you." Keller said. "Sometimes I want to shoot the man myself. But something tells me he wont need a job, he'll be going straight into a psychiatric ward because of Halo."

"Oh he definitely looked like he was heading there." Epps said, chuckling. "I am going to remember this for the rest of my life."

"You can tell she's a Marauder." Remus said, smiling up at Halo.

"Now all she needs is the nickname." Fred said.

"Yes, but what?"

"This is going to take some time."

"Do I have to?" Halo asked, dreading what those two could come up with.

"Well, if we came up with a new designation for you, it would be the one we could give to other human's that meet us that are like Galloway." Ironhide said.

"Fine, but I dread to think what those two will come up with." Halo said.

"We'll think of something you like." Barricade said, running a finger over her head, soothingly.
