SN: I don't like children, and wanted to do something different with this prompt. This is the result. Written for cmdrtekk of on LJ. Enjoy.
Playing with Kids
Bluestreak looked up stunned into the optics of his patrol partner. Trailbreaker stood at the top of a short drop, laughing. The Datsun looked around him at the goats around him and then back up at the HiLux. "Trailbreaker what is so funny? I don't understand. Why are all these goats here? I thought..." He was interrpted by one of the smaller animals attempting to butt him with immature horns. The snipe quickly stopped him before he managed to connect. "No, no. Don't do that. You'll knock yourself silly. And that would be bad."
As he talked to the goat, Bluestreak returned his attention to Trailbreaker, who had at this point sat down on the ledge, grinning. At some point he had been joined by a young man, who was also smiling at the sight of the Datsun surrounded by and clamored on by a herd of goats.
"Trailbreaker as much fun as this is, I thought you said we were going to play with some children?"
The human began to laugh.
"Actually Bluestreak I said we were going to play with some kids."
"Isn't that what I said?" the Datsun questioned, looking perplexed.
The boy fell over over backwards, trying to breathe.
"Not quite. You said children."
"I... don't understand."
The human gasped for breath. "You're evil 'Breaker."
The HiLux shrugged. "Well you know what they say about assumptions. They make an ass out of you and me."
Bluestreak glared, as he stopped yet another attempt by the baby goat to charge him. "What is so funny?"
"I didn't mean humans when I said kids."
Bluestreak arched an optic ridge waiting for him to continue. However Trailbreaker seemed to be content to just smile serenely back at the sniper.
Finally their human companion couldn't take it any more. "Kid is the name for baby goat."
As the gunner stared at him in shock, the persistent kid managed to butt the much larger mech, knocking himself silly in the process.
