Author's Note: Because I'm bored, I'm switching the POVs again. This time, it's going to be written in Isaiah's POV. May swap back to Riley in a later installment.

Enjoy!

Rule #55: The Wiggles are banned.

(That is me and Riley's childhood right there! Right along with Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, and Barney.)

(I brought it in for Anna since Sarah was running out of ideas. Plus Riley reminded me of it.)

(Anna loved it!)

(Then there was Captain Feathersword.)

(Prowl walked in the moment he came on, took one look at the screen and walked right back out.)

(The local Autobots heard about it and came to see the new show that would possibly get banned over something.)

(They gave us an earful about how pirates wielded swords made of steel and not big ass feather dusters.)

(Damn you, Captain Feathersword. Damn you to the Pit.)

(Back to the drawing board for me. At least Sideswipe didn't find a video to ruin another show I watched during my childhood again.)

Rule #56: Just because you walk in on me and Riley fighting, that doesn't mean our goal is to kill each other.

(Give us a break, guys.)

(We're siblings: we're supposed to go for each other's throats!)

(Riley and I love to roughhouse with each other much like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, Skids and Mudflap, and Metal Storm and Mechafire do, so we go at each other a lot like this and walk away with minor injuries like scrapes and bruises.)

(Optimus and Ironhide happened to walk in on one of our famous roughhousing sessions and physically removed us from the other's grasp.)

(All they saw was me pinning Riley to the floor in a headlock with her legs and one of her arms pinned to the floor and Riley swearing in Cybertronian with her free hand grabbing my hair.)

(Riley wasn't pleased at the fact we were pulled apart and she proceeded to wiggle her way out of Ironhide's grasp and tackle me, screaming her own battle cry and we went on again for round two.)

(Plus they don't really understand the concept of sibling rivalry unless they actually have a sibling. All they knew was that Riley was growling (a playful growl and not her "I'm going to kill you" kind of growl, mind you) and I had her pinned, the both of us covered head to toe in bruises, cuts, and scrapes.)

(Optimus was worried about our behavior, so he called Ratchet in to sedate us and our parents were called to talk to us about our aggressive behavior.)

(Our parents were concerned when they were brought in to see us in the Med Bay but then they were explained the circumstances we were found in and laughed.)

(Ratchet nearly had a come apart when Dad said we do this all the time.)

(He quickly reassured the Autobots we didn't mean harm to each other and we were only playing with each other the way that siblings do.)

(He also told the Autobots they tried to stop us several times before but seeing as we continued on even when we were being restrained, they simply let us keep sparring with one another since it was pointless to try and stop us and we'll stop when we're either tired or simply done attacking the other sibling.)

(Now that that's cleared up, we're free to continue with our roughhouse sessions, but we can't have them in places that Autobots can be found.)

(Or else we get hauled into the Med Bay for examinations and our parents need to explain why they let their offspring try to kill each other.)

Rule #57: Playing air raid sirens in Red Alert's office is cruel and unusual punishment.

(Sunny Brooke teamed up with Sunstreaker to wreak havoc on the poor mech.)

(Sunny only helped because she thought we were making it up that he's super paranoid.)

(Red Alert put the whole damn base on lockdown.)

Rule #58: Attempting to communicate in a language you haven't spoken in before should wait until you actually know what you're trying to say in the first place.

(Guess who got ahold of sugar again?)

(Guys, everyone knows not to give that girl sugar! Who keeps giving her sugar?! Riley is sensitive to sugar and caffeine!)

(We were on an important mission to France and Hyper Riley was running up and down a busy street and tackled a stranger.)

("Bonjour! Je suis un tres grande pomme de terre!")

(Translation: "Hello! I am a very large potato!")

(I managed to cage Riley in Sideswipe's vehicle mode and gave her a Mad Libs book to keep her happy for the time being until the sugar was out of her system.)

(How wrong I was.)

(She broke Sideswipe's windshield and crawled out and ran away before anybody could stop her.)

(Later that day when Optimus was having a conference with some important guy, unbeknownst to him of Riley's sugar induced state, she burst into the room and declared her thoughts importantly in a Scottish accent.)

("I am wiggling my leg. Witness my leg! Everybody! Say it with me as I wiggle! Peas, peas, peas, peas, peas, peas, peas! OH, MY GOD! DAVID HASSELHOFF CAN FLY!")

(Ratchet tackled her and dragged Riley out of the room, scanning her and even made her go through a mental examination before he sedated Riley before she could get loose and wreak havoc on Paris.)

(Riley woke up halfway through the trip back to Diego Garcia and she was given another mental exam once we got back because Ratchet was paranoid the results he got weren't right.)

Rule #59: Yelling at cows is not normal behavior.

(I was saddled with Prowl for a patrol of a new NEST base they set up in Alabama.)

(The road we had taken made us stop every two seconds because it also served as a cattle trail.)

(Cows! Cows everywhere!)

(I got frustrated after being stuck inside Prowl's cab all day and rolled down the window, leaning my entire upper half out of it and shouted, "Hey, you! Stop eating grass! This isn't some kind of grass eating place where you can eat grass! Hear me! I am da law!")

(I thought it was humorous.)

(Prowl didn't.)

(He actually got worried.)

(Prowl turned right back around and took me straight to Ratchet for a mental test. Again.)

Rule #60: Don't reprogram your fellow Autobots for pranks after a source of caffeine is confiscated. It doesn't matter if it was yours or not, just don't do it.

(The twins, it doesn't matter which set.)

("I will dismantle you two and sell your parts on eBay!"— me, after finding out Sunstreaker and Sideswipe took the stash of tea.)

(Being the Southern backwoods rednecks that we are, Riley and I practically live off that blessed liquid infused with sugary goodness. Nobody messes with our sweet tea, DAMN IT!)

(Plus it's caffeinated. XD)

(Ratchet found out that's where Riley was still getting caffeine from.)

(He took it from the twins and burned it.)

(After that, it all went downhill from there.)

(I snapped at anybody that asked me what was wrong and stormed around the base and glaring at anybody that got in my path. Riley did something very similar, but ten times worse.)

(She nearly broke Leo's neck when he bumped into her in the hallway.)

(Ratchet had to be called to sedate and restrain her.)

(We were eventually given our tea back after the base suffered through our tea depravation for a week, but it's decaffeinated.)

(It was a compromise, but at least we got it back.)

(Not two hours later, we were deployed to take care of a Decepticon that popped up in Scotland.)

(Riley was on top of the Decepticon before he knew what was going on.)

(Apparently, Cybertronians aren't strangers to looking down on femmes (their slang term for a female as I've learned after watching Ironhide call my sister that so many times before) and he began ranting at her about how his death would be humiliating being ended by a femme.)

(So Riley said to the guy "As if." And she shot him.)

(Riley continued like this for about thirty minutes before Prowl approached her and asked, "Feel better now?")

("Yep. Wanna get pancakes?" :D)

(One week later, a new guy named Smokescreen arrived on Earth. Said he's Prowl and Bluestreak's big brother.)

(So I naturally, I went to Ratchet to ask if Prowl really has two brothers.)

(Ratchet confirmed it before making me leave to tend to injured Autobots from the fight in Scotland.)

(I didn't even realize Prowl had relatives on Earth! Hell, I didn't realize he had relatives at all!)

(But looking at all three of them together in one room, you can really see the resemblance between them.)

(It didn't take me long to make friends with Smokey since he's new on Earth and all. Plus I found out he has a strong affinity towards gambling and we always somehow find ourselves in a no holds barred game of poker and Texas hold 'em after getting me out of an hours' long session of mindless chatter with Bluestreak.)

(Seeing the perfect opportunity to mess with them, I reprogrammed a recharging Smokescreen.)

(Smokescreen came out of recharge at one in the morning and sounded the alarm signaling a Decepticon attack.)

(Mass panic. Autobots were running all over the place trying to figure out who sounded the alarm and where the attack was...)

(... Until Smokescreen's voice came over the intercom system, shouting, "Attention, NEST base! ATTENTION, NEST BASE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! CODE RED! AMBER ALERT! BLACK DEATH! BLUE BALLS! PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR THIS SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!")

(Then for a while he stopped talking, but then an upbeat preschool song began playing over the speakers.)

("I'm a little teapot short and stout! Here is my handle here is my spout!")

(As it turns out, Ironhide is as grouchy as Riley is when woken up so rudely. He was out lusting for blood and ran for the communications room to find Smokescreen locked himself in there and reinforced the door so that not even an irate Optimus could kick it down.)

(Smokescreen continued singing merrily away over the intercom for the next day, singing "I'm A Little Teapot".)

(Naturally, Ratchet thought it was me as payback for destroying my caffeinated tea.)

(We can go with that...)

(...)

(Yeah, let's say that.)

(I blamed Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.)

(Nobody questioned it since they're infamous for their prank sprees.)

(Poor Prowl glitched.)

(Bluestreak cackled like a maniac and recorded the entire thing on video and posted it on the Internet.)

(A month of brig time for the twins and they didn't do anything!)

(That's an added bonus for me!)

(Don't tell them I set them up to take the fall for me.)
