Disclaimer : I don't own it.
Note : Not one of my best, but here's Optimus...getting it again. LOL. Also, I have to inform everyone.... I just lost the game -.-'
*Watches Bumblebee race past, holding a huge bag of sugar and singing the chorus to 'Gimme More' by Britney spears, being chased by Darklight8121* .....Awwww...Bee...*Dies of cuteness overload*
Wolf Mystic - LOL I've heard that before. I know, Prowl's going to lose it one day soon...completely.
Warrior Queen 21 - Thank you. :) Here's the next chapter.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
(Normal POV)
Sneaking out of his quarters, the large mech stalked as silently as a giant metal being could, while walking along linoleum floors. Slipping along, he wandered through hallways, pausing when he heard a sound. Looking around the corner, his optics narrowed as he took in Sunstreaker and Sideswipe creeping along equally as quietly, towards the main hangar.
Now what are those two up to? Frowning, Optimus felt his optics narrow. 'Optimus to Prowl, come in.'
There was a second's silence before the slightly groggy response from Prowl returned. 'Prowl here, sir. What's the emergency?'
Raising an optic ridge, Optimus transformed and kept his engine as quiet as possible as he snuck after the twins, keeping to the shadows as he followed them right off the base. 'It seems reports were right. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe have been sneaking off base in the middle of the night. I'm in pursuit at the moment, requesting you join me.'
'Understood, sir. I'll be there momentarily.'
'Understood. Oh, and Prowl? Let's remain quiet. I want to see what they've been up to.' With a narrowing of his optics, Optimus rolled after the twins, pausing at crucial moments, and wishing he'd had more spy training. I'm getting too old for this. He thought, rounding a corner and turning off his engine quickly, as a half asleep soldier stumbled along the darkened hallways towards the men's bathroom.
"Ugh. Damn Autobots and their lite-brite eyes, lucky scrappers." He muttered, scrubbing at his own eyes, before turning to walk into the bathroom. Bang! "Ow. Who the hell put that wall there?" Rubbing his face, the young man stumbled a step to the left and almost fell through the door.
Optimus' engine was almost stuttering with his laughter, as he silently sat there a moment. Then, half transforming, he turned his back end into his legs and began creeping along the hall.
Hey, it was quieter than driving, and he was just going to transform right back anyways.
Sam stepped out of his room, and he and Optimus both froze. Shaking his head, the boy rubbed at his eyes. "Man, these dreams have got to stop! Semis, with legs?" He laughed a little and stalked into the bathroom, leaving Optimus to make a mad dash down the hall before his cover was seriously blown. Imagine that, a semi cab with legs, running down the hall as quietly as possible. By the time he was outside, Prowl was there, and they had to take off pretty quickly to keep the twins in their sights.
He was just lucky he transformed back before Prowl saw him.
'Is it me, or are they...heading towards the former 'Autobot Fair'?'
Optimus sighed. 'How much do you want to bet, they didn't dismantle everything, like they were told?'
With a slight bounce on his axels, Prowl cycled his vents. 'They did have a point. This 'Fair' would make an excellent weapon against the Decepticons. If only we could survive it.'
Thinking to himself, Optimus smirked a little and transformed as they neared the fair, which, as they'd predicted hadn't been taken down like ordered. The rides were running, and the thrilled voices of the twins...and a few surprise guests flew through the air.
"Is that...the Arcee triplets? And Skids, and Mudflap?" Seeing a little yellow 'bot run around, Prowl shuttered his optics. "And Bumblebee??"
With a slight laugh, Optimus shook his head. "It makes sense. The younglings enjoyed the fair a great deal. Perhaps I was hasty." He walked forward. "After all, this would be an excellent way to boost morale, and it isn't actually damaging to our units." His optics narrowed. "When the rides work as they should."
They watched as everyone froze upon seeing them, but Optimus held up his hands in a sign of peace. "We were wondering where the Corvette twins were disappearing off to late at night. Imagine our surprise to find they aren't the only ones." Sending Bumblebee a pointed look, Optimus raised an optic ridge. "Although you should know better. I don't mind you sneaking off to have fun, but you have a charge to look after, and you can't do that if you don't recharge properly."
Bumblebee's head hung low, a little.
He watched as Skids and Mudflap watched him from their spots on the open gravitron.
"I suppose that was my fault, however. I can see this is fun for you." He looked at his troops, who were standing before him with their heads down. "Have at it, Autobots." When their heads shot up, he chuckled. "It's a good thing Wheeljack found the fault in the ride, and that there were no others. The rides should be fairly safe. But, you are not to come running to me, if you get damaged and Ratchet becomes upset."
Prowl raised an optic ridge and crossed his arms over his chest. 'Are you sure this is a good idea?'
'Can't you remember being their age? We've been at war for so long, this is a chance for them to sit back and enjoy their youth. Yes, I am certain this is a wise idea. They deserve a chance to relax and act their age.' He grinned as the Arcee triples whooped and joined the twins on the gravitron, and Bumblebee wisely chose to remain on the ground.
Sideswipe high fived his brother, before turning to the two eldest 'bots. "So, you guys gonna give the rides a shot?"
Blinking a moment, Optimus hesitated.
'It's a morale booster.' Prowl's smirk could be heard.
Frowning at his second in command, Optimus turned to the others and nodded before climbing onto the gravitron. He took in the others, and copied what they were doing, before holding on tightly as the ride closed up and began to spin. I'm going to regret this. He thought, hearing the younglings whoop, and feeling a sense of utter dread run through him.
As the ride picked up pace, he was suddenly hit with the image of Ironhide on this ride, and quickly latched on to the handle bars on either side of himself, shuttering his optics when everything spun too fast for even his advanced eyesight to keep up with. He could feel the force of the gravity slamming him into the mat behind his back, pinning him in place, even as the ride picked up in speed, increasing the pressure all over his body. Scans showed he was still safe, even as he felt himself starting to get nauseous.
However, as Prime, he stubbornly refused to ask them to stop the ride. Ironhide had survived the full time, and so would he.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the ride began to slow. Opening his optics, Optimus blinked when he saw multiple versions of everyone. "Ohhhh." He groaned, shaking his head a little as he felt the ride stop. Unfortunately, though the ride stopped, it still felt like the ground was moving. Undoing his safety belt, Optimus stumbled forward, before turning to his left. He saw three Chromias in front of him, and tried to carefully push past their excited frames as they waited for the others.
Unfortunately, the Chromias he tried to dodge weren't real, and the lack of the expected contact threw him off balance. Confused? He was, too, even as he stumbled to the side, and right into the real Chromia, the two of them going over in a big heap.
"Oof!" Chromia ended up stuck under the all but dead weight of her boss, and rolled her optics at her laughing sister. "Listen, Prime..." She shoved his arm and struggled to pull herself out from under him. "This is all...good...and...but I'm with Ironhide." She pulled harder. Glaring at her sisters, she growled. "A little help?"
"Oops, sorry. My bad." With a groan, Optimus rolled over and promptly offlined himself.
I'm never doing that again.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Note : This was for those who wanted to see Optimus getting on the gravitron. Not one of my favorites. My favorite part was the half asleep humans ;) And no, Prowl isn't stupid enough to try any of these rides after what the others went through. LOL
Hope you like it.
R+R please.
Thank you.
