"What the frag just happened?" Sunstreaker snarled as he lifted himself off the ground.
Sideswipe moaned next to him. "No idea, but my helm hurts, Sunny."
"Don't call me that!" the yellow Twin growled.
"Whoooooaaaaa," a high-pitched, squeaky voice interrupted. "I've never seen Toons like you before! Where'd you come from?"
A white rabbit wearing baggy, red overalls jumped in front of them. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker stared.
"Hey! Eddie!" the rabbit called. "You ever seen anytoon like this before?"
A slightly portly man peeked around a set of crates. "No, I haven't."
"Sunny?" Sideswipe started, eying the human. "Um... Is this... I think... Are we...?"
Sunstreaker closed his optics and cycled a long draft of air through his vents. "I think so. Doesn't make any sense, but I think so."
"Are you what?" the rabbit asked, blinking up at them with wide, blue eyes.
"In your world. See, we're from a different world, where, well, there aren't any Toons, except for on TV."
The rabbit and the human stared at him for a moment before they burst into laughter. "Imagine!" the rabbit cackled, the laughter making his squeaky words even harder to decipher. "A world without Toons!"
"Well, wouldn't be the strangest thing I've ever seen," Eddie said, shaking his head. "Anyways. How'd you end up here?"
Sideswipe shrugged. "Dunno. We watched your movie last night, and today, during the battle, Megatron whipped out his most recent Weapon of Doom, and there was a bright flash, and here we are," the red Twin said, smirk slowly spreading across his face.
"That is how it usually happens," Sunstreaker said, venting heavily as he pushed himself to his feet.
"You mean this's happened before?" the portly human said, blinking rapidly.
"Yep. Well, we haven't come here before, but all of us have been zapped somewhere strange at one point or another." Sideswipe shrugged. "Anyways, we always get back. Wheeljack, Perceptor, and Skyfire'll figure it out soon, and we'll be back home before you know it!"
Sunstreaker rolled his optics. "Right. You'd think it were scripted, how regularly it happens."
"Yeah, well, you never know," Eddie said, shaking his head. "Well, as long as you're here, you might as well have some fun."
A wicked gleam filled Sideswipe's optics. "Well, if we are where I think we are, I think we're going to have a lot of fun."
Sunstreaker raised an optic ridge, and Sideswipe snickered again.
"Take a look around, bro. Acme everywhere. You remember some of the stuff that was in here, right?"
A low groan filled the room as Sunstreaker slapped a palm over his face. "You have fun, Sides, and leave me out of it. I don't want any part in this."
"Fine, fine," the red Twin sighed, then gleefully skipped over to the nearest set of boxes. After a moment, he turned around, a tiny, orangish object in his hands. "Sunny! Extendable hammers!"
Sunstreaker just vented again and sat down, leaning against the wall.
"Ooh! Portable holes! Ha! Squeaky shoes! Wow! Anvil! A ten ton anvil! Isn't this exciting, Sunny?"
"Don't call me that."
Sideswipe mimed his brother for a moment, rolling his optics and flapping his hand next to his helm. "Whatever. Hey, Eddie, right? Mind if I keep some of this stuff?"
The human shrugged. "Go ahead. None of it's been sorted or cataloged yet, so as long as I don't see it, it didn't happen."
Sideswipe smiled at him for a second before turning back to his brother. "I like this guy," he said. "When they figure out how to get us back, can we take him with us?"
"No, Sides."
"Aw. Come here and help me decide what to keep."
Venting heavily, the yellow Twin pushed himself to his feet and walked over to his brother.
After stuffing their subspaces with all manner of Acme products, the two bots went and sat down against the wall. Eddie came in a some time later and sat down next to Sideswipe.
"Well, Roger is off with Jessica, and I've got the night to myself. I was just curious, you said someone'd be able to get you back?"
The red Twin nodded. "Yup. Like I said, this happens with alarming regularity. I doubt we'll still be here in a week. Though I have been wrong before, and there are worse universes to land yourself in." The last sentence was said with a happy twinkle in his optics and a warm smile.
"Agreed," the human said, nodding. "Well, I mean, I've never been transported to a different dimension, but I'd imagine that there are worse places to go."
"There are," Sunstreaker said, venting heavily and closing his optics. "Trust me. We've been to some of them."
There was a loud crack, and a bright light flashed through the warehouse.
"What was that?" Eddie shouted, jumping to his feet.
Sideswipe and Suntreaker also rose to their feet, and Sideswipe chuckled. "That, my friend, is most likely our ride home. Now, to find... Ah!"
A crate rattled, then tumbled from its position on the top of a large stack. A muffled, "What?" could be heard, and the Twins exchanged grins.
"Wheeljack!" Sideswipe called as a helm was stuck through a dark hole in the air.
Audial indicators flashed happily in place of the masked grin. "Sideswipe! Sunstreaker! There you are!"
The Twins grinned, then glanced back. "Well, Eddie," the red half of them said as he knelt down and held his hand out. "Looks like this is goodbye. Thanks, and it was nice meeting you!"
The man shook the offered finger and grinned back. "Of course. It was nice meeting you two, too," he said, and smiled as he took a long breath. "Well, you'd better be getting back home."
"Yup," Sideswipe agreed, standing. "Let's go, Sunny."
The last thing Eddie heard as the two climbed through the hole was a grumpy, growled, "Don't call me that."
