Now onto this chapter!

Elita was frustratedly tapping her pen against the desk during homeroom.

"You okay?" Jack whispered.

Elita shook her head in silent reply. Jack sighed.

"Optimus is gonna be fine. They can't expel him." Jack spoke. "I'm sure he must have some sort of perfect record or something right? Plus he's in the Prime Program they can't expel him."

"Maybe." Elita replied.

The day had gone on and no one saw Optimus, however, they had all figured out that it was probably him who dyed the Cons hair and everyone saw the results.

Starscream's previously red streaked brown hair was now light green with a yellow steak replacing his red one. He walked around the school with a bandana that only covered half of his colourful head. Apparently the Con SIC was so arrogant that he didn't own any hats, and his hood kept falling.

Breakdown and in turn Knockout had both been given bright purple hair. Breakdown walked around with his baseball cap on and although he seemed to mind it he was coping fairly well with the situation. Knockout on the other hand looked like he was ready to explode with anger and take down the entire school with him. It was no secret that he took great pride and commitment to his appearance. His natural hair colour was red so he wanted everything to coordinate with each other so most of his wardrobe was comprised of warm, fall colours. He had nothing to go with the cold winter colour that now occupied his head and that's what had him seething with anger. He didn't look his best and he hated everyone for it. He had to borrow one Breakdown's baseball caps and that didn't help his mood either.

The Dreadwing's hair was now a dark magenta. He walked around with a hat on his head and his twin at his side. The two of them deflected any insults that were thrown at them.

Since Soundwave always had his hair covered anyways, no one actually saw it, but rumour had it that his hair was now pink like Megatron's. He ignored every Autobot he passed by, which wasn't all that different from how he normally was either.

The Vehcs had been given blue hair, and while their compatriots were either embarrassed or felt humiliated, they were happy because they were finally the centre of attention. All of their cousins and even some Neutrals were questioning them. When did it happen? When did you first notice? Does it feel different? The three Vehcs answered them all excitedly...at least until Megatron came over and ordered them to stop. Steve let it be heard that even though he felt humiliated didn't mean that everyone else was or had to be. His cousins nodded in agreement...until Megatron stuffed Steve into his locker.

Speaking of which, Megatron was still seething. He growled and yelled at everyone. He was humiliated and embarrassed and he could not let that stand. He had to get back at the Autobots, and he knew how. He just had to be patient and wait till the right moment when he would bring in his special asset...

The day ended and there was still no sign of the Autobot leader, so Ultra Magnus, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Elita, Arcee, and the three freshmen decided to go check if he was still at the main office.

Lo and behold, he was. Optimus was sitting in one of the chairs just outside of the council meeting room twiddling his thumbs. When he noticed his friends by the window he gave them a reassuring smile and waved.

They waved back.

"Has he really been here all day?" Wheeljack wondered.

"Probably. Especially if the council is deciding his punishment." Magnus replied.

"Punishment? He didn't do anything wrong...really." Miko exclaimed.

"He choked Megatron. Usually that's something teachers punish students for." Ratchet spoke.

"I just hope that his punishment won't be to bad." Elita said.

"Yeah, it wasn't even his fault. Megatron provoked him by insulting you." Arcee said.

The older girl shrugged and continued to look inside at Optimus. They all waited for a few more minutes before Halogen walked out the room. Optimus got up on his crutches and looked at the principal in anticipation. Then Halogen spoke and Optimus sighed in relief, allowing his friends outside to sigh in relief as well. However, Halogen continued on and Optimus gasped and shook his head. Halogen crossed his arms at the boy. Optimus hung his head. Halogen reached his hand out expectantly. Optimus reached into his pocket and handed him something. Halogen nodded, said something else, then turned and walked back into the council meeting room.

Optimus shook his head some more as he limped out of the office. When he was out the Autobots surrounded him and fired their questions at him.

"What's wrong?" "We're you expelled?" "What did he say?" "How bad was it?"

Optimus took a breath before answering. "I'm not expelled–"

"Great!...there's more isn't there." Arcee exclaimed quickly.

Optimus nodded. "But they put me on academic probation for a month.

"What does that mean?" Jack asked.

"They're kicking me out of the Prime Program for said month." Optimus answered.

"What? They can't do that!" Ratchet exclaimed.

"They can. And they did. Halogen took my Matrix Pass and everything. I'm outta the Program until next month." Optimus replied.

"No. Way. You earned your spot in the Program they can't just take it like that!" Ultra Magnus exclaimed.

"It's okay you guys. Really. It's just a month, and doing what I did wasn't very Prime like. However, I don't regret it." Optimus said. "I did it for you Ellie. Guess I wasn't really thinking though."

Elita looked at him with her arms crossed, and then slapped him.

"Elita! Uncalled for!" Ultra Magnus spoke.

"Hm. That was for being an idiot, and getting kicked out of the Prime Program." Elita explained.

Then she pulled on his jacket and brought him down for a kiss. Their little audience's jaws dropped.

"But you're my brave idiot. Thank you." She spoke quietly.

The freshmen watched the scene with smiling faces.

Yes, Jack thought. His friends were most certainly worth fighting for.

What is Megatron planning? Will Optimus be okay? Find out next time! Same Bot time! Same Bot place!...I'll stop now. ;)
