Leon hummed, strolling into the hanger where Optimus was waiting. An open can of blue paint hung from her left hand and a red one from her right.

With her sights set on the Peterbilt, the mechanic crossed the hanger just as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker roared into the bay. Leon lifted an eyebrow, making her past the twins…and tripped.

Paint flew over the gold Lamborghini and the silver Corvette.

Twins wails sounded, and Leon flinched, smashing her head against the floor.

"MY PAINT!" Sunstreaker yelled, transforming and ruining his 'hard work' more.

"I am so sorry, 'Streaker!" Leon groaned. "I'll wash and wax you!"

"Don't touch me!"

Sideswipe grumbled, shooting her a mix between a glare and a sympathetic look before following after his brother.

"One step at a time….Singing in the rain….he's blue, da bah dee bah da." Bee snickered, earning a glare from the female.

"Thanks Bee, that's such good help." Leon rolled her eyes. Bee fixed her with a serious look and began playing the 'Jaws' theme song. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I believe he's warning you about Sunstreaker's and Sideswipe's habit for pranks." Optimus hummed, laughing lightly.

"I'm so screwed…"

"Yeah, I'm screwed." Leon sighed, wiping purple goo from her eyes. She focused her gaze on the twins rolling on the floor and then Bee, who looked concerned but didn't want to touch her.

"You look a little purple, Lion." Sunstreaker howled, clutching his middle. Optimus sighed, knowing whatever outcome that was brewing was not going to be good.

Leon fixed the twins under a blank gaze and strode calmly over to Optimus, who offered her a hose. Once she was clean –and soaking wet- Leon glanced around.

"I don't see anything for me to do. I'm going for lunch."

Sideswipe glanced at his brother.

"I expected her to freak out." The gold mech frowned.

"It's odd that she didn't." Optimus hummed.

"But they ain't seen, boys, the cruelest thing I do."

The twins shared a nervous look.

"Leon, where are you going?" Ellie asked, looking up from her book.

"Revenge prank." Leon muttered, shutting the door behind her.

"Don't let this get out of hand." Ellie sighed, returning to the novel. Leon snickered, sneaking through the hallways like a ninja and tiptoeing into the kitchen. She pushed several rolls of something into her backpack with the excessive amounts of sticky notes she had found.

"They are so screwed." Leon snickered, darting to the Autobot hanger. The silver Corvette and Lamborghini sat quietly in the corner. Ironhide shifted as she entered, and his holoform appeared leaning against the door.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing you need to worry your pretty little head over." She grinned, patting his hood. The holoform fixed her with a serious gaze. "Revenge prank."

"Then, I'm leaving you alone." The holoform fizzled out.

Leon grinned, pulling out her weapons of revenge before getting to work.

"Good morning, boys." Leon smiled pleasantly as she strode into the main hanger. "How are you?"

"I am well." Optimus smiled down at her.

"Mama Mia! Master of the house, doling out the...trouble." Bee sighed, staring at the twins in the corner, who were just waking.

"Where's Leon?!" Sideswipe began panicking. "There's something on me! Is it an Earth disease? LION!"

Leon strode over, examining him for a moment, before shrugging.

"I don't see anything wrong with you." She turned towards Bee so she could hide her sly smile.

"But there's something on me!" Sideswipe insisted.

"Well..." The mechanic coughed, not even trying to hide the pathetic attempt for laugh. "There is one disease...coloratus-quadratorum. It's very rare and very contagious. I think the last stage before someone dies is thinking that they're covered in colorful squares. Am I right, Bee?"

"Doctor, doctor, gimme the news!"

"Dude! I can't move!" The gold Lamborghini shook. "Lion! Help!"

"I don't see anything wrong with you either. You should be able to move just fine." Leon frowned, staring at the car wrapped completely in plastic wrap.
"Although, patet folliculus operuit sounds like what you have. I'm afraid you can't eat anything for the day and the Autobots will have to spend the day outside. You can't go anywhere near the sun or water...or Energon. That would be bad. Just...don't move."

"Autobots, roll out." Optimus pointed to the concrete pad leading outside and around the corner.

"I'll come check on you later." Leon promised, stepping onto Bee's hand before the yellow bot nearly ran out of the hanger.

Ironhide and Ratchet fixed her with a look once they were out of sight.

"What?" She looked at him innocently.

"Colored squares and clear wrap covered? Those aren't real diseases." The medic snorted, crossing his arms.

"I know that, you know that, Mirage and everyone else knows that...But Sides and 'Streaker don't. Let's see how long they last. In the mean time, try to relax a bit. I'll see you later."

"Sunny-"

"Don't call me that!"

"Do you think we've been pranked?"

"No this sounds serious." Sunstreaker insisted, going quiet a moment, before roaring. "That glitch! She totally pranked us!"

"I just said that. Can you move?" Sideswipe asked, transforming. The little colorful squares cascaded off him.

"No."

"How about now?" Sides ripped the plastic wrap apart.

"We have got some serious planning to do." Sunstreaker growled.

Leon, bent over in the engine of one of the military jeeps, suddenly got a very bad feeling. It had been nearly a week since she had pranked the twins, and nothing had happened.

So she was expecting something soon. Very soon.

Unfortunately, she didn't know how soon they were going to do it. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had their plan ready, and had executed it the moment she fell asleep.
