Vortex glared at his younger Gestalt brother, who now slept - quite peacefully, judging by his relaxed and content expression - in the so-called "drivers seat" of Astrotrain's shuttle alt. After they had ripped off three of his four rotors, Hook had decided that, and he could quote; "If your just going to get them ripped off and come complaining to me to fix it when you brought it on yourself, I'm just going to remove them." And had then knocked Vortex out removed his rotors. Needless to say Vortex was pissed, Hook was deaf to him, and Swindle spent the few hours he was awake after convincing Astrotrain to take them to his "planet fair/black market" being guilt tripped by the Copter- former copter- former. Or would it be half copter? His alt was still the same, just rotor-less.

Either way, Swindle easily fell into a peaceful recharge despite Vortex's complaining. He blamed it either on his still healing damaged, or the fact that flying seem to just know him out. He did have a habit of falling asleep while flying, it's been proved time and time again while being carried by Vortex. Flying just seems to lull him into recharge. It would normally be cute, but not right now. Not while he had to sit alone, in silence, with an anti-social smart aft triple-changer. Unable to move around or fly. Swindle wasn't awake enough to talk to, it got boring.

This is all boring.

He's so bored!

Vortex and bored don't mix. Bad things happen. And Swindle would have woken from the feeling of "disaster" in the air if he weren't such a slagging deep sleeper! Astrotrain was awake though, and could feel the increasing sense of dread in the vastness of space. It made him tempted to dump the flyer, but he would dump Swindle too, and so far the Jeep-former had yet to get on his nerves. In fact, he'd acted overly friendly today.

Another reason he felt uneasy. But a sleeping Swindle is a harmless Swindle...unless you wake him.

"I'm bored." Vortex grumbled, earning nothing but a flash of various lights and buttons as a reply from Astrotrain. It didn't better his mood. Not. At. All. Damn Swindle for his falling-asleep-while-flying problem, and Astrotrain for his I'm-better-than-you-and-too-awesome-to-talk ego. He glared at the console, pretty much the only think he could think to glare at aside from cameras. But glaring at those would require him to move, and he didn't feel like moving.

Lazy aft.

He could just hear Swindle laughing. He turned to glare at his sleeping Brother, who's lips twitched a bit, Vortex half expected him to smirk. Instead he just mumbled something incoherent and turned his back to his brother. Again, that would be cute if he weren't so slaggin' bored! He slammed his fist into the console in irritation and boredom, Astrotrain let out a squeak and tumbled off course a bit, throwing Vortex out of his chair.

Swindle didn't budge, slaggin' Jeep apparently was smart enough to buckle up. Being in space Vortex had seen no reason in it. "What are we gonna need 'em for? Just in case we hit a space bump?" Had been his reply to Swindle when he warned him about buckling up once they had taken off. He glared at the Jeep from his upside down position across the room against the door leading to the deck.

With a grunt, he slid to the side and landed painfully on his hip. He shuffled and stood, and walked back over to the console.

Astrotrain finally got his head back at that, deciding to finally let it be known he was - in fact - able to speak.

"The Pit, Vortex!" He snarled. "Don't do that! Do you want to knock us off course and have us crash into something?" Vortex seated himself without reply, buckling himself in. "Are you insane? No wait, stupid question! Of course you're insane!" Fastening his seat-belts, and checking them twice, a devilish smirk crossed over his faceplate, hidden by his mask. He tuned out Astrotrain's scolding, and leaned over the console, eying a particularly shiny, large, red button...

Swindle chose that time to slowly online, he groggily sat upright and looked around. He looked to Vortex and shuttered his optics and few times.

The last thing Astrotrain or Swindle computed was Vortex's gleeful cry of; "What's this button do!"

And the sound of their own screams over the grounded flyers cackling.

Author: Thanks for the reviews everyone! I really enjoy reading them! I'm going to go through later chapters soon and fix all errors, feel free to point them out! It helps, and I won't bite! Promise! About the story; Let this be a lesson to you, kids! Don't push the BIG RED BUTTONS! Always trouble. I am so, so sorry about this chapter. Everyone has their "off" days, when muse is low and writing becomes strained and makes no sense. Mine was when I wrote this, I will try and make the next chapter make up for this one. Also, I note this has a lot of plot holes. Sorry about that, I'm not exactly the most experienced writer out there...Also, this may get confusing soon. I'm going to have a...eh..."scene cut" so to say. We're going to be leaving Swindle, Vortex, and Astrotrain for a teeny bit. Just a warning! Hope you enjoyed the chapter so far.
