"Boys to my office now" Optimus's voice cam over the intercom.
"Scrap..." all four hung thier helms low turning around and walking into Optimus's office.
"Come on you four I'm getting how many complaints about your pranking and tricks" Optimus sighed talking to the four young mechs that knew they were in trouble.
"Like come on guys electrocuting energon, who came up with that one, oh wait let me guess, Sideswipe" Optimus complained.
"Aw come on that was funny" Sideswipe whined.
"Yeah hilarious just like the glue bomb in the bathing rooms, look guys I might have bailed you out as sparklings but I'm not going to do that anymore, you guys are mechs now, and you are going to be punished like mechs, understand?" Optimus continued.
"Yes sir..." all four sighed.
"Ok now the old timers will give you your punishments now go" Optimus said shoeing the trouble making mechs out of his office.
"Scrap the old timers, this is going to suck..." Sunstreaker grumbled.
"Yeah well at least we were getting scrap from Optimus and not them" Jazz said as they all walked down the hallway.
"Yeah true enough, put knowing the old ones will want to add onto the rant" Sideswipe rolled his optics.
"True enough" Jazz and Sunstreaker agreed.
Mirage was not one to say very much, he silently nodded and continued to walk with his adopted brothers to the med bay.
"You four still immature as sparklings!" Prowl scoffed standing with crossed arms staring down the boys, mainly Jazz.
"Can't you stay out of trouble for one day?" Hound asked Mirage who looked away from him.
"Well that just means they get to make up for thier immaturity" Ironhide said staring at Sunstreaker.
"Mop bucket, cloths, go scrup every inch of that bathing room" Ratchet growled giving the boys each a bucket of suplies.
"And I better not see any of that glue when you are finished!" Ratchet called after the boys that left quickly.
"You really think thier going to clean it in two minutes?" Hound asked Ironhide.
"They damn well better be" Ironhide nodded.
"Ugh I'm going to see Optimus..." Ratchet rolled his optics.
Optimus perked up hearing a Knock come to his door.
"Come in" Optimus called.
"Hello Optimus" Ratchet greeted sitting in a chair infront of Optimus's desk.
"Hello Ratchet what brings you here?" Optimus asked finishing up a data pad.
"Just getting away from the crazies" Ratchet sighed.
"I understand, Optimus laughed.
"After all these years watching them grow, helping watching them, have you ever thought of having your own sparkling?" Ratchet asked Optimus.
"...yes Elita and I've considered" Optimus answered after thinking for a moment.
"Yeah sparklings are one of the greatest things that could happen to you, no matter how old they get you never stop worrying about them" Ratchet sighed to Optimus.
"No matter how much trouble they are, you always love them" Optimus smiled at Ratchet.
"And that's the truth right there, and I'm a mech that can prove that" Ratchet chuckled.
"Well I better let you get back to your work before the boys get called back in" Ratchet sighed getting up from the chair.
"Thanks Ratchet, I hope I don't have to call them back" Optimus chuckled.
"Yeah we can all have dreams Optimus" Ratchet laughed opening the door.
"Oh and when you decide if your having a little one, you'll tell me first right?" Ratchet asked.
"Yes Ratchet don't worry, I promise you will be the first" Optimus smiled going back to his work.
"Good" Ratchet nodded leaving Optimus's office.
"Look out!"
"Comming through!"
"Look out dude!"
"Boys!" Ratchet yelled as all for mechs ran past him into the rec room.
"The fu..."
"Hey Arcee!" Sideswipe greeted jumping over the couch landing beside the navy blue femme.
"Yeah hi Arcee!" Sunstreaker laughed jumping over the couch and kicking Sideswipe down to the ground and sitting in the same spot.
"Beat you Mirage ha ha woah!" Jazz laughed getting tackled over the couch knocking Sunstreaker onto Sideswipe, all of them ending up on Sideswipe.
"Hello boys busy morning?" Arcee laughed.
"Yeah, get the hell off!" Sideswipe struggled from under everyone.
"Mirage dude ok you win!" Jazz whimpered from under Mirage.
"Alright glad you agree" Mirage laughed rolling off.
"Let me guess you're all running from the hatchet?" Arcee asked with a chuckle.
"Yyyyeee...no not at the moment" Sideswipe answered with a laugh as he sat beside Arcee with his brother.
"That's a first" Arcee laughed.
"Aw come on we're not always on the run" Sunstreaker sighed.
"Ok fine..." Arcee rolled her optics.
"Can you believe Megatron finally went crazy and started a war" Jazz said.
"Yeah I mean we're fighting a war now it's only been a few years since the wars started but it's still mind blowing" Sunstreaker added.
"Dude can't we talk about something not depressing and sad" Sideswipe complained.
"Alright, hey guess what my sis just told me" Arcee excitedly asked getting the boys attention.
"What?" The boys closely waited for Arcee to tell them what seemed,ime exciting news.
"Her and Optimus are thinking about having a sparkling!" Arcee squealed.
"That's great, do they know there's a dangerous war going on!?" Sideswipe and Sunstreaker happily said with giant worried smiles.
"Yeah I don't know what they're thinking" Arcee also answered happily, and as if on que Optimus walked in.
"Optimus are you awesomely insane!" Jazz asked grabbing hold of Optimus.
"Jazz...what are you talking about?" Optimus asked with great confusion.
"The sparkling, is it true you're thinking of having a sparkling during a war!" Mirage asked in a worried tone.
"Yes... but..."
"Are you insane, don't have a sparkling during a war, change your minds!" Jazz shook Optimus.
"I'm afraid it's a little late to change our minds" Optimus sighed.
"Aw man!" Jazz jumped away from Optimus.
"Did not need to hear that!" Sunstreaker shook his helm and whacked it against the couch.
"I'm instantly repressing that image!" Sideswipe said holding his helm and closing his optics.
"La la la la I'm not listening!" Mirage held his helm and walked in circles.
Arcee sat there with the most stuned look on her face and did not move.
"What the hell happened in here?" Prowl and Ratchet asked walking into the rec room standing beside Optimus, watching the boys and Arcee acting oddly.
"I broke them" Optimus chuckled leaving the room.
"Broke them... what?" Prowl raised an optic ridge.
