Disclaimer : I don't own it.

Note : Ok, so I got a couple of reviews telling me people didn't understand the last prank. First of all, you want to google high school pranks in general. You'll find a lot of my ideas there. That, or Just For Laughs Gags. This one was inspired by Just for Laughs.

The cow prank is actually done with chickens, I believe. Chickens or sheep. You take 3 chickens/sheep and number them 1, 2, and 4. Then the pranksters sit back and watch the victims go nuts trying to find non-existent chicken/sheep number 3. It's supposed to be mean/funny, because think of it this way. What would you do if you were sure there was another chicken/sheep out there, and spent hours trying to find it, only to find nothing? And then look at it from the POV of the pranksters, who are sitting back, watching people get irritated/pissed off because they're looking for an animal that doesn't exist.

I'm not sure if that helped. I can see it, but it's hard to explain.

Elita One - Oh, they're not in trouble yet. But trust me, revenge is coming. And the chicken/sheep prank, from what I got, was fairly popular in some places. It's the first I heard of it, though, when I googled it.

Jovianokamigirl - Google high school pranks. It's one of the sites on the first page, where it lists numerous high school pranks. It should be mentioned 3 or 4 times, I believe.

LovelyIAmNot - Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them :)

Wolf Mystic - LOL. Glad you liked them. :)

Captain Arianna Trouble - Can you see an Autobot trying to pick up a sheep or a chicken? LOL. I figured, cows = bigger, which = better. LOL. Awww, don't you like cows?? Especially when they're being chased down by an irate Ironhide??

Dragonwitch250 - Oh, I know. It's funny to play on that.

Blood Shifter2 - Glad you had a couple good giggle fits. :)

D. Huynh - LOL I was ready to start laughing at their puns. Annoying to some, but I could just see the clueless look Optimus gives them as he mentally wonders if their logistics routines have faults. And yes, poor, poor Bumblebee. At least he's got Sam and Mikaela to bathe him later. Hmm... I wonder if I should be saying poor Sam and Mikaela instead.

BABY BUMBLEE BEE - Thank you :)

Rubyswordmaster - LOL, so you know the prank? Yeah, I was thinking of an animal stuck on the roof or something. That's...a possibility. Can you just see Optimus' face when they were punning? LOL.

Negimasamurai - LOL.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Sam's POV)

How did I get myself into this, again?

I sighed as I squatted down, trying to ignore the way my legs were burning. It was hot, dark, and crampy in here, but flipping back the small opening in the box, I saw Mikaela's sweet smile and sighed, sitting back down again, and waiting.

Oh, yeah. 'Cause I can't say no to her.

Mikaela was standing against the edge of the corner, talking with Sideswipe's human holoform, a young man with messy dirty blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes. They were trying to play it innocent, but I could hear the occasional snicker escaping them, randomly.

"Oh, hey Epps." Mikaela's voice called out.

Taking my cue, I carefully shifted my weight and got my balance, preparing myself. I heard footsteps approaching, and braced my arms against the walls of my little 'prison'. I could hear Sideswipe asking if he was mailing mail, which obviously the soldier was. Just as the the only opening in the box opend, I darted backwards and began running to my left.

A startled yelp, as well as loud laughter, caught my ears, and I ran.

"Sam! Look out for the-"

BAM!

Ow.

I stood there, my face pressed against the thin metal wall of the box I was hiding inside. A dull ache ran up my skull, and I could make out several people laughing. Then, I slowly fell over backwards, my legs flying out from the bottom of the box, and kicking a little before I lay there unmoving, trying to clear my fuzzy mind.

The laughter increased ten fold, and I thought I heard someone fall over, but with the metallic ringing in my ears, I wasn't sure.

By the time I managed to clear my head, I felt several sets of arms tugging at me, and helping me to my feet, even though the 'mailbox' came with me. I could hear Mikaela struggling to explain to Epps what was going on, despite the fact that Sideswipe was almost crying he was laughing so hard.

"Oh, man! That was classic!" Epps was laughing his ass off. "I mean, it looked like the mailbox ran smack into the wall! I wish I'd had my camera!"

"It felt like the mailbox ran face first into the wall, too." I muttered, causing everyone to crack up even worse. I allowed them to help me back to my spot, and Mikaela even ducked under the mailbox costume to give me a quick kiss and check my face for damage.

"Just don't forget about the wall, this time." She murmured, kissing me lightly before giggling and ducking back out of the box.

Like I could. The bruise forming on my forehead wouldn't let me.

I sighed and crouched back down, more than aware that I was still being heavily watched. Several moments, and quiet a few screams later, I was nursing one hell of a headache, and feeling pretty damn lucky Will didn't shoot me when he thought I was an out of control mech. Then things seemed to slow down for a while. Sideswipe allowed me out of my prison for about a half an hour, where I sat against the wall for a bit, resting my legs.

Then it was time to return to the prank, and I once again found myself wondering how I let myself get talked into this. I climbed back into my costume and sighed. It was silent for several more moments, before I heard the sound of heavy footsteps and felt the ground shaking.

"Perfect, it's an Autobot!" I groaned loud enough for them to hear.

"Oh, crap! Prowl!" Mikaela hissed quietly.

I felt my eyes widen, even as Sides began to laugh heartily. "Keep up with the plan!" He hissed to me, snickers breaking through.

Hesitation hit me hard. What if Prowl thought I was a Decepticon and attacked me? Shaking a little, I crouched down and prepared myself. Even with my doubts screaming for me to run like hell, the prankster in me desperately wanted to see how an Autobot would react to the prank. Just...as long as I didn't get shot at, in the process.

Why am I doing this??

"Hello Mikaela, Sideswipe." Prowl's tone was pleasant when saying Mikaela's name, and wary, almost suspicious when saying Sideswipe's. "What are you two up to?" the footsteps paused briefly.

Just get up and walk away. I blinked as an image of a mailbox getting up and walking away hit me hard, and I bit my lip to keep from laughing. It was even worse than if I'd gotten up and ran off. I debated on whether or not to walk or run when the prank was initiated. Then I mentally slapped myself. I should just stop this.

"Nothing." I could hear the sweet smile in Mikaela's voice. It was amazing how the voice alone was my undoing. "Did you have mail to send off?" She sounded honestly curious, and it took everything I had not to look. I mean, Autobots had mail? I thought everything was automated with them, or done electronically.

"Yes." There was a single footstep, and a single metal digit slid into the opening, pulling it down. As I saw the tip of the envelope, I mentally cursed what I was about to do, before turning and taking off down the hall at my fastest speed. I tried to remember exactly how far the wall, but a sound distracted me.

"Prowl!"

"Decepticon!"

Aw, crap! Forgetting about the wall, I sped up, standing at my full height and running for all I was worth. Loud laughter rang in my ears, and I heard Mikaela screaming that it wasn't a Decepticon. I managed to remember last second about the wall, and took a sharp turn.

"Sam!"

Oh, God, what now??

CRASH!

Ow!

"What the frag?!"

I stumbled back, tripping over my own two feet and falling over onto my back. Shaking my head a little, I blinked to clear my vision before looking down. Huh, well, at least this time I didn't run into a wall. I thought, seeing the large yellow foot. Considering the language, I also knew it wasn't Bumblebee. That meant it was one of two Mechs, and for the sake of my skin, I hoped it was Ratchet, considering there was a nasy looking scratch across the paint of the metallic ankle.

"Sam! Are you ok?"

Considering I was alive, yeah I could honestly say I was ok. My head was pounding, but I wasn't being stomped into a sticky pile of mush, so I figured I was fairly safe.

"Frag, incoming!"

I ducked the best I could, considering I was already on the ground, and kind of stuck where I was.

CLANK!!

I blinked and slowly slid down, worming my way out of the mailbox costume I was in. Once I was out, I noticed Mikaela was standing halfway down the hall, staring in horror back the way she'd come. Then I noticed Sideswipe literally rolling around on the ground, laughing hysterically.

The next thing I noticed was Ratchet swearing colorfully, and making his way to a currently offlined Prowl, who was lying face down on the ground.

"What happened?!" I slowly stood up, massaging a kink in my neck, and trying to watch the bruise I could feel forming around my nose. "Ratchet??"

"What's wrong with him?!" Mikaela's eyes were wide with horror.

"His logistic routines have an error." Ratchet almost growled, glaring at Sideswipe's human holoform. "And you are going to get your real body, come back and help me carry him to the med bay, or so help me I'll stick you with inventory watch for the next two Earth years!"

Sideswipe smirked as he looked up at Ratchet, but seeing the serious look on his face, the smirk faded, and he sighed befor vanishing into thin air. Then Ratchet turned to us. He took a single look at my 'costume' and then sighed. "I can only imagine what went through Prowl's processors when he saw a mailbox get up and run away." His tone was dry. "Especially when he saw it had human legs."

I blinked. "You mean the prank set him off??" I shared a horrified look with Mikaela. "Pranks can set him off?!"

The medic nodded and sighed. "I assume the twins never told you?" When I shook my head, and Mikaela followed the gesture with a guilty look, he nodded. "Well, thankfully it's not dangerous. He suffers no lasting damage, and he'll awaken soon. I'll still have to report this to Prime, though, as I'm sure he'll find out through..." Ratchet paused and seemed to search something up on the internet.

"The grapevine?"

He looked to Mikaela before nodding. "Yes, and you'd best both be with me, so he can hear your versions." Standing, he walked over and lifted the light metal costume with two fingers. Then he smirked. "I admit, I can see the humor in this." He hit a button on the side of his helm, and a holographic image appeared.

It looked like a still shot of a mailbox in mid run, with embarrassingly skinning male, human legs. Then it began to move. It ran down teh hall surprisingly quickly, and seemed to swerve only moments before hitting the wall, only to run smack dab into a large metallic leg, and fall over backwards, the legs kicking a moment before lying still.

I couldn't help it. Despite the seriousness of the situation, I couldn't help but laugh. I even heard Mikaela joining me.

We both stopped laughing, however, as a pair of heavy footsteps hurried down the hall, and Sideswipe soon showed up, looking bummed. He helped Ratchet lift the fallen Autobot, and the two of them disappeared down the hall.

Once he was out of sight, Mikaela and I exchanged a look and busted up laughing again.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
