Title: High-jacked
Continuity: AU
"Skywarp!" Victoria snapped. "What do you think you're doing?!" Just moments ago, she had been casually strolling down one of the paths near their house, when her favorite, purple-metal bundle of chaos had scooped her up, transformed, and rocketed skyward.
"Jeez, Vicky! You make it sound like I'm going to dump you into that nearby lake."
"Well, you haven't said you wouldn't. Plus, you haven't done that particular scheme yet, and I certainly wouldn't put it past you."
Laughter rolled through the cockpit around her. "Relax, Vic. I just want to show you something pretty. Don't worry; I'll bring you back either after ten minutes or when you say so, whichever comes last."
"Humph." With that final complaint, Victoria slumped back into the pilot's seat with a pout and proceeded to ignore Skywarp's deliberately irritating attempts at conversation for the next several minutes.
"You can open your eyes now."
Rolling said eyes, the woman sarcastically rejoined, "Very funny." Skywarp just laughed at her, and as she watched, the cockpit glass faded from opaque to clear.
"Oh, wow," she breathed. Spread out before her lay the night sky arranged into a sparkling vista. Brilliant patches of gleaming yellow shined up in patches on a brown background, all connected with lines like veins of gold. Rippling against both brown and light, water assisted in outlining both colours, and off to the left, what appeared to be a blanket of clouds prevented her from ascertaining exactly what part of which continent(s) she was viewing. When she finally managed to pry her gaze from the shining splendour, she saw the atmosphere straight ahead. It glowed with quiet strength; red swept through the whole layer, but a tiny blanket of green stretched over the top of the highest part.
"Thank you, Skywarp," she eventually continued softly. "I don't appreciate being kidnapped, but this is so absolutely gorgeous and so, so worth it."
Victoria could feel the smile in his voice as he answered. "My pleasure, Vicky. I thought you deserved to see one of my favorite things in the universe. Ready to go back down now?"
With a sigh, she nodded reluctantly. "I guess we should."
As the seeker prepared to head back down through the clouds, she took one last, wistful glance at the panorama. A moment later, her stomach leapt up to her throat. Her errant ride had not just "headed back down;" he had plunged with all of the glee that a mischief-maker possesses whilst sowing chaos.
"SKYWARP!"

"Target acquired?"
"Affirmative. When will the missiles be ready to launch?"
"T-minus sixty seconds until barrage. I'm coming upon you now for loading."
OoOoO
One minute later, Prowl, Ironhide, and Blaster were deluged by the Twins' enormous water balloons, with the hooligans whooping all the way.
OoOoO
First: Important: Victoria is NOT my character. I received permission from her creator, LeaderPinhead, to use her and Skywarp in this short. The stories that Victoria is in are "Pint-Sized" and "A New Version of Reality" on FanficNet. Both are excellent, if very long, stories, and I highly recommend them. Please note that this short is not set in her universe; I'm just borrowing them.
Additionally, I do not know how long it would take a Seeker (or any space shuttle, for that matter) to exit the atmosphere, so I guesstimated/fudged. (What?! 'Guestimate' is considered a real word, but 'symbiote' is not? How rude!)
Second: Why Blaster? Because I wanted him to get splooshed for some reason, that's why.
