A couple hundred miles away in the farm lands of Cybertron….
Bulkhead and his two older brother walked to school, passing the fields as they went talking about the big school lobbing game that was coming up on Friday. "Bulk you and Jackie are like the best players on the team! What are you so worried about?" Tailgate asked. "I don't know" Bulkhead responded slowly, "I guess I'm just worried about facing that team that's coming from Tiger Pass, they are a huge team and word is their top guy Megatronus is really rough." Rocky laughed, "Dude hes got nothing on you! Besides I hear there's going to be a lot of schools from around Cybertron coming to see this event, which means lots of pretty femmes!" Tailgate grunted, "Yah like you could ever get a girl Rocky, not with your walking mug shot." Rocky retaliated with a punch to his brothers arm, "Bulky who is the 'prettiest' out of us two, me Rocky the most glorious, beautiful, handsome bot to ever walk cybertron? Or him the walking, living, breathing, mug shot?" Bulkhead laughed, "You two have a way of cheering me up, but that still doesn't mean I don't think that our team is gonna get crushed."
"You didn't answer my question?"
"how can it be any of you when we all know that most handsome one is me?" Both brothers looked at Bulkhead, "Oh yah Tailgate" began to chase Bulkhead with Rocky trailing behind.
After running for a bit the brother arrived at the school out of breath, "You can't touch this!" Bulkhead shouted. Everyone looked over to see the ruckus some shook their heads, others laughed. "Dude look" Rocky shook Tailgates shoulder, "It's her." Tailgate watched as the most beautiful blue femme he had ever seen walked across the school lawn into the building, "Shut up, Rocky I don't like her."
"Uh Yah ya do, I've seen you giving her cow eyes in class, watching her walk, dude you like creep on her."
"I do not! I just think she's pretty! Besides id never have a shot with her, she is like a top A student in every class, not to mention she is on the honor roll. Me? mom and dad are threatening to take away privileges if my grades don't come up." Bulkhead rolled his eyes at the conversation and began to walk away, "hey Arcee!" he shouted at the blue femme stopped in front of her locker. "oh hi Bulkhead. Excited for Friday?"
"Nervous is more like it." Arcee laughed, "Don't be ya'll are gonna kick them city folks butts." Bulkhead laughed and walked Arcee to her next class, "Hey just a little insider gossip for you, I know you girls like that but my brother Tailgate is way into you." Arcee smiled and kept walking. Bulkhead looked confused, Didn't she care? "Ar…Arcee."
"I heard you Bulkhead, and I know. I've seen him look at me" Arcee snickered, " I find it cute." Bulkhead laughed, "Hes gonna kill me when he finds out I told you."
"I wont tell him it was you."
"You have a date to the game?"
"Not yet, you?"
"I have a girl in mind but maybe I can get my brother to ask you. He's shy."
"You do that." Arcee laughed, "This is my class."
Bulkhead walked away from Arcees class and toward his own, now to get Tailgate to stop being a wussy and ask her to go to the game with him.
Tailgate nervously played with his pencil, he was walking to his next class which was the one where he sat next to Arcee, at least she made the class interesting. It was history and Tailgate wasn't big on history while Arcee was a history buff. Bulkhead had caught him between classes and told him that if he didn't ask Arcee to the game one Saturday rumor was that another bot was gonna. He had to ask her now. Now or never. Tailgate kept his composure as he sat next to her, "Uh Hi Arcee. Nice um weather we have today." Arcee cocked an eyebrow, "Um sure." Tailgate bounced his legs, "What I mean is umm well, would you… I mean do you …. Are you…uh" Arcee turned and looked directly at Tailgate. "Yes I would love to go with you to the game." Tailgate let out a huge relieved sigh, "Glad I asked!"
Later After School on the field….
"HEY BULK OVER HERE BUDDY!" WheelJack called to Bulkhead, "Ready to cream a team on Friday?" Bulkhead laughed as the two chest bumped, "you betcha" .
"Alright everybody fall in, we got a lot of practicing to do and…wait wheres Lake" Everybody looked around, "nope don't see him" "I haven't seen him coach." The coach shook his head, "Lake is never late, im gonna call…"
"COACH! COACH! Im sorry im late."
"Where were ya"
"My mom called she is um…she is…"
"Well spit it out Lake!"
"My mom's pregnant!" Everybody began to laugh and snicker, "Dude you're a freakin Senior, your other siblings are like in college and isn't Wasp married?" Lake looked at everyone, "come on guys its not that weird…Ok yah it's a little weird but if my Dads still got it at his age chances are I will too that's all im saying!" Laughter rose on the field, the sounds of "ooh" "dude" and "burn" were heard clear across the field.
The lobing team practiced for a few hours as spectator students came and watched, among them Bulkhead spotted his brother Tailgate with Arcee, "studying" as they say. "Hey Jackie check it out." Bulkhead whispered and pointed to the grandstand. Wheel jack looked and began to snicker, "that's cute right there." Bulkhead shoved Wheeljack playfully, "alright eyes back in the game and leave the two love birds alone."
"Oh come on Bulk! I say we take the bucket of water there and throw it on them." Bulkhead cringed, "Naw Jackie we.."
"Come on Bulk! Its only a prank!"
"Ohh alright but only this once." The two friends waited till after practice and "volunteered" to bring the water tub in, Tailgate and Arcee were still on the bleachers talking when Bulkhead and Wheeljack snuck up on them, "Kiss in the rain!" Wheeljack shouted, as the bucket tipped on top of them.
Arcee screeched, as Tailgate tried to protect her from the unknown threat covering her and jumping to punch the threat away. "What in the pit do you think your doing?" He shouted at the two laughing lobe players. "You should have seen your face" Wheeljack laughed, "Priceless." Arcee growled! "You boys are so immature! Like you have nothing better to do! Come on Tailgate you can walk me home." Tailgate glared at his brother, "You'll pay for that." Bulkhead held in a snicker. "Sure."
FRIDAY NIGHT GAME TIGER PASS HIGH Vs. POLY HEX HIGH
Locker Room #1: Tiger Pass Team.
Megatronus stared at the wall as the coach gave the team its hundredth pep talk. "This is the big one boys! The two best high school teams of the whole planet are facing of today, and we are one of them! So keep your heads on straight and remember the most important thing is fun and teamwork. Oh and if your thirsty your energon boy Megatronus will be here." Everyone laughed except for Megatronus, he just glared, "Coach you should let me play I'm the best one on…." The coach just glared, "Well maybe you should have thought about that before you went and prank Orian Pax." Megatronus sank lower on the bench, the last thing he wanted to hear was another one of coaches you should be a star student and a good little boy. "Make your you keep the boys hydrated, you're lucky I could talk the board into letting you come along and use this as part of your community service. Don't even roll your eyes. Now let's go."
Locker Room #2: Poly Hex Team.
"Are we ready?"
"YAH!"
"We are here to today mechs facing off against one of the most toughest, hardest teams on all of Cyberton. But don't let them get into your heads! We are here for fun and teamwork! Now word is that Megatronus will not be playing today because of some…incidents that happened in the Tiger Pass High School. So go out there and make the school and your families proud!" Everyone cheered as they ran out the locker room door toward the stadium.
Stadium Right Center Bleachers: Tiger Pass School Fans
Stadium Left Center Bleachers: Poly Hex School Fans
SilverStorm rubbed her hands together, as she and Orian sat in the right center bleachers with Ratchet, "Its chilly." Orian commented. As the teams came running onto the fields and the crowd went crazy cheering. Orian was probably the only one who remained seated when the teams appeared. Sports weren't really his thing, he only along because SilverStorm drug him along. Ratchet slapped Orian on the shoulder bringing him out of whatever daze of thinking he was in, "hey Orian they about to sing the planets song." Orian came to a standing position as everybody began to sing, unfortunately for Orian neither SilverStorm nor Ratchet had singing voices. After the anthem ended and what seemed like endless cheering everybody finally sat down and the competition began. Orian looked around watching the Mechs throwing a huge metal ball at each other. Orian was not much into things that could hurt others, "Lighten up" SilverStorm jabbed him, "you don't have t like the sport but think of the support we are giving the school by being here." Orian smiled, "your right." Ratchet cocked an eyebrow, as if saying. "You gonna tell him?" SilverStorm twitched uncomfortably, "So Orian Dad got a call for me the other day and well I guess this is a perfect time to tell you that…"
"Alpha Trion called and ask if you wanted to work at Iacon and you said yes." SilverStorm looked with surprise at Orian. "Umm you know?" Orian laughed a little, "Yah Alpha Trion isn't one for family secrets. I mean if you tell him something he's not gonna tell the world but he doesn't like secrets to come between families." Ratchet let out a sigh, "That's a good boss." Orian nodded "Sure is."
