Chapter 12: The Devil Wears Prada

A few days after the whole street racing fiasco, everyone was preparing for the big Sadie Hawkins Dance that was happening the next coming week. Particularly Tiberius, Jack and Miko who were signed up by Sierra to help her and the planning committee of the student council with all of the preparations.

Sounds easy right? Well, life is rarely that simple. Or merciful… As the group was having their Autobot companions drop them off, Tiberius and Miko were riding in Bulkhead because Optimus was busy with something important. The two were both listening to the radio until the blonde's favorite Quiet Riot song: Cum on Feel the Noise came on.

"Oh yeah! I love this song!" The Bioformer exclaimed with a smile as he listened to the music. Right until a hot pink 1959 Buick Classic pulled into one of their usual parking spots. "Whoa holy shit—!" He yelled as he started turning Bulkhead's wheel, causing him to swerve.

"Oh you suck for life do ya?!" The boy said as he saw what was written on a bumper sticker on the car before pulling out a megaphone. "Listen up you unoriginal pink cum dump! You have three goddamn seconds to get your tits out of my parking spot before I—!" He started to yell before a pair of black metal stilettos with pink hearts on them stepped out of the car. "Oh shit. Veronica?" He said in shock.

Miko meanwhile was surprised by the way she had just heard Tiberius speak. The same went for Bulkhead. Both wondered how he even knew the pink clad girl.

Veronica was a girl who was around Tiberius's height with bleach blonde hair, sunkissed skin, long sexy legs, a heart shaped ass, a narrow waist, wide hips, thick thighs, feminine arms and hands, and pink painted lips. Her breasts were also above average in terms of size, being at least G-cup. Lastly she was wearing a skin tight Lycra dress, heart shaped sunglasses, arm length gloves and had a feather boa draped on her shoulders.

"Tiberius." The woman said in disdain after blowing and popping a bubble gum bubble.

"I should have known it was you. I can smell fish for miles, which is odd, because I believe the nearest ocean is—THREE STATES DOWN!" The hybrid quipped, falling out of Bulkhead's window with a yell.

"And I should've known it was you when I heard the Amber alerts." Veronica retorted.

"Oh yeah? I'm surprised they let your fat ass out of rehab. I can see you're still a drunken whore, clutching onto that Bacardi bottle like it's the last cock in Nevada!" the blonde snapped.

'What is going on here?' Miko thought with a bewildered expression.

"They let me out because I'm still famous! And rehab's for sad loser washups." The woman said, flipping her hair while taking a swig from her hidden flask. "So your cousin says hi." She added. Nearby in another parking space, Madame Ruin was in her vehicle form resting a bit as she listened to the encounter. If she were in her robot or human form, she'd have blinked when Veronica mentioned Tiberius' cousin.

'I'm right here, though.' She thought, feeling a little weirded out.

"Why are you parking here?! This is the only parking spot my team has! So take your tampon race car somewhere else!" Tiberius growled angrily.

"Actually prick. It has my name on it." She snapped, pointing at the sign that was put up that reserved it for her. "I'm doing a bit of work with the school to help them set up for this dance, ya know since it's my old school I thought I'd help out for a week to set everything up."

"A WEEK?!" The Bioformer yelled. "Oh no, you are not parking here for a fucking week!" He added.

"Aw, you mad Tiberius?" Veronica asked as she took off her glasses, showing she had full lashes and yellow eyes. "You gonna run off, leaving someone else to pay for the hotel room and—."

"Take your car to run three blocks around and max out your credit card on shitty singing lessons. Goddamn it whore, you will not let that go!" He growled.

"Choke on a sandpaper cock." The woman spat as she walked past him.

"Hey, you better move that pussy wagon right now or I'll—!" The boy started to yell before a shadow fell over him from behind. Behind him, a large man walked by the window Miko was looking out of, causing her to shrink back. "There's someone behind me, isn't there?" He asked. He turned around and was greeted by a large man.

He was a black man who was twice his size, had a broad… everything and looked absolutely jacked. Though the most striking feature about him was the fact that he had a scar on his right eye.

"You'll what?" The man asked in a Texan accent, his voice deep.

"I'll… I'll, uh call the Principal!" The boy retorted… Before all three of them started laughing while holding onto each other's shoulders.

'What even is this?' Miko and Madame Ruin thought in unison, confusion on their minds. The others meanwhile were in shock because of just who their friend was bad mouthing, and their Autobots were just confused.

"Anyway, this is my new bodyguard. Vincent Torez, or Vortex. Unlike a lot of people he does his job well." Veronica smirked, walking away. "Ta ta fuck stain." She added, flipping him off.

"Oh I wasted so much time with a bag of holes like that." The blonde sighed, right before everyone jumped out of their vehicles.

"You know Veronica Midnight?!" Sierra asked in shock.

"Oh her? Yeah, we dated." He nodded.

"Was that before or after she became a pop star?" Jack asked.

"You dated a pop star?!" Raf said in surprise after Sierra finally unplugged his ears.

"Why are you guys treating this like a huge shock?!" The hybrid huffed.

"Uh because it's Veronica Midnight?" Sierra asked.

"It's you?" Jack added.

"I just… is she blind? Suffering from some sort of brain damage?" Raf asked.

"Okay, you guys are making this into a way bigger deal than it needs to be. I don't pry into your stupid personal lives." Tiberius said as he folded his arms.

"You do that all the time!" They all yelled.

"What was sex with her like?" Sierra asked, causing Miko to blush.

"Sierra!" Jack gasped.

"What? It's a pop star. You'd wanna know what sex with Michael Jackson was like." The cheer captain retorted. Jack tried to come up with something but couldn't.

"Touche." He said.

"Okay let's just drop it. Arcie, Bulkhead, Bee, go find another parking spot. Guys, let's go handle this shit." Tiberius growled as the vehicles drove away and the kids headed inside the school, which was vacant save for the planning committee.

(Elsewhere)

Madame Ruin meanwhile drove off and then transformed into her human form. As she continued to walk around the streets of Jasper, she decided to try looking for a way to entertain herself.

It was at this point that she saw a strip club, one of the 'bring your own condom' variety.

'That'll do nicely.' Jenova thought as she licked her lips. Without any other thoughts, she went inside.

(Elsewhere)

Back with Tiberius and the others, they were just told just how closely they'd be working with Veronica and her crew to set up things for the dance. Which turned out to be because the pop star wanted to use it as free concert fair for herself.

"Oh no ya don't biiiiitch." Tiberius growled.

"Okay, as much as I'd rather not ask, what did Veronica do to make you so mad at her?" Jack asked cautiously.

"I saw her cheating on me with, let me see if I'm remembering this correctly, five other guys." The Bioformer told them. "It's why I stole her car and maxed out her credit card."

"... Okay, I hate her now." Miko declared angrily.

"Yeah, I haven't been in a serious relationship with another girl since." He sighed. "Anyway, let's just get this over with."

So this went on for several days, until one day, Miko decided to go to Sierra. "This Veronica chick is starting to piss me off." The rocker girl said, referring to how she had been bossed around by her all week and how she was acting like a total diva/bitch.

"Yeah, I know how you feel. This bitch really needs a reality check." Sierra muttered in agreement.

"Come on, I say let's go give her a piece of our minds." Miko suggested. Sierra reluctantly shook her head.

"As much as I'd love to, I don't think we'll even get her to listen with how self absorbed she is." She sighed. Miko groaned in disappointment.

"Ugh, you're right. What did Tiberius even see in her…" The rock girl groaned. Then she got an idea. "I know, if we can convince the principal to let us do our own music, she won't be able to do it and she'll leave."

"That should do the job." Sierra nodded with a grin. "Though we may wanna stay away from heavy metal though." She noted.

Though as they were walking past the lockers, Veronica could be seen coming out of the dark hall. "Okay bitches, if that's how you wanna play it, then game on." She said angrily.

(Later)

"And that Mr. Demicles is why we think that for this dance, it'd be a much better idea for us to choose our own music as a group." Sierra said to their principal, who was a heavyset man with a combover.

"No offense to miss pop star, but I think we can all agree that it'd be easier and cheaper if we just had our own music." Miko added.

"Hm… I can see your point. It would be far cheaper." The man nodded.

"Not to mention easier to set up." The Vice Principal added. "Thank you girls, we'll be thinking about this for the time being."

"Good to hear." Miko nodded before she and Sierra left. However as they were walking down the halls to the cafeteria for lunch, they were cut off by Veronica. The pop star cocked her hip to the side as she glared at the two girls.

"Trying to cancel my performance, huh bitches?" She hissed.

"Uh yeah, you got a problem with that?" Miko questioned.

"You haven't been pleasant to be around at all so far, so yeah. We don't want you here." Sierra chirped.

"Oh so you skanks think you can do music better than me, huh?" Veronica said as she sauntered up to Miko. "Like seriously, a punk rock loving cocksleeve like you? DJing a dance? Ha! What're you gonna play? That shitty screaming trash you call music? Gimme a break, bitch." She scoffed, pushing her slightly.

"You think it's all about you, don't ya? Well how about this: At the dance we have a little competition." Miko challenged, getting the pop star's attention.

"Oh yeah? And what's the game?" She asked, right as Tiberius came in earshot of the conversation.

'The hell are they up to?' He thought as he stopped at a corner to listen in.

"At the dance, we have a sing off. Whoever the rest of the students likes more, gets to do the whole gig. We win, you leave and don't charge the school a dime. You win, you get to do the songs however you want." Sierra told them.

"And if we win, you have to apologize to Tiberius for cheating on him." Miko added, her arms crossed. Tiberius, meanwhile, felt touched that Miko would go this far for him.

Veronica started chuckling as if she thought the bet was hilarious. "Oh, you're serious." She said, leaning down to Miko's eye level. "Game on. Bitch." She added before she smirked.

"Ya know, I really should warn you about Tiberius." She said as she started walking away. "He likes to switch roles from time to time. If you're on top, he'll worship you like a goddess. But if he's on top, well… I hope you have an extra bed frame, cuz you'll need it." She said before leaving. Miko blushed beet red at the thought of being worshipped, finding the image oddly enticing. Sierra's left eye twitched in irritation. She didn't see Tiberius that way, dammit!

"Hey girls, what's going on?" Tiberius asked as he approached them, deciding to ignore what he just heard. Miko meanwhile yelped and nearly jumped out of her skin, her face still red.

"We hopefully just resolved this whole mess." The cheer captain replied.

"Really? Thank god." The boy sighed before turning to Miko. "Hey Miko, mind if I talk to you for a second?"

"What's up?" The Japanese girl asked as they went to a different part of the cafeteria.

"After the dance, I want us to go to Lover's Ridge." He told her, making the girl look at him in surprise, her pigtails going up. "I have something important I need to tell you." He continued.

"U-um… Alright." She nodded, blushing slightly. The blonde smiled as he pat her on the head before leaving her alone.

(Elsewhere)

Back in the strip club where Jenova currently was, she was busy grinding herself against the rod of a male stripper who she had just paid to have sex with her. However the thing was that he was handcuffed to the bed, gagged and she was currently injecting him with some of her own blood… and it was starting to transform him into a Terracon Bioformer!

"This'll be something worth researching." She mused with a grin as she watched the transformation happen.

The stripper groaned in agony as his body began rapidly changing at a cellular, genetic and atomic level. Jenova smiled as she stroked his chest.

"Aw you poor little thing, is there something you want?" She asked him. The man nodded vigorously as his gag was removed.

"Your womb, I want inside your womb!" He moaned as the transformation reached its climax.

"Since you've been such a good boy… Sure." She purred before she slammed herself onto him. The man moaned in bliss as he was finally transformed into a Terracon Bioformer, and Jenova grinned as she bounced herself on his cock like a rabbit, moaning at his above average girth.

(Later)

It was the day of the dance and Optimus was currently driving Tiberius home from the dry cleaners to pick up his suit.

"Are you sure that you do not need me to accompany you?" The Prime asked.

"Nah, I already have a pick up service bring us there. And Bulkhead agreed to pick us up. So there's no need for you to do anything." The blonde explained.

"Very well. I will keep on optic on your parents while you are away." Optimus told him.

"Thanks." The boy nodded. After he got home, the Bioformer then started to get dressed and looked at himself in the mirror.

His suit consisted of a blue sport coat, blue pants, a navy blue vest, a white button up shirt, blue loafers, and lastly a navy blue tie.

"Man, I look good." He said to himself. Once he was through getting dressed, he quickly ran down stairs. "Alright guys, I'm off to the dance." He told his parents.

"Have fun, sweetie!" Serena called after him. Right as he stepped outside, the driver he had called arrived. Getting in they then went to Miko's host house, where the girl was waiting in her dance outfit.

Miko was wearing a short poofed out hot pink dress with a purple chest and a purple ribbon and bow tied around her waist. The top of the dress had frilly pink lining around the collar area/neckline which was low enough to show most of her neck and collar areas. She also wore grey stockings, pink heels, dark pink fingerless gloves, a black silver buckle choker collar, and lastly she had a pink and red flower pin in her hair.

"Thanks for picking me up, Tibs." She said as she got in the seat next to him, making sure her dress wasn't caught in the door.

"You're welcome. You look great by the way." The Bioformer told her as she scooted next to him.

"You don't look so bad yourself." She replied as she looked at his suit, and had to admit, he looked really handsome.

After a while of waiting for their ride to drive them to the school, the two arrived and they entered the gymnasium together with the metal junky's arms wrapped around her date's arm.

"Hey, you two!" Jack's voice called, prompting them to turn and see him with Sierra.

"Hey guys, when'd you get here?" Miko asked.

"Arcie brought us. Which was easy since I didn't feel like wearing a dress." Sierra replied. It was true, she was in a more casual outfit, medium length pink skirt, a dress shirt, and a jacket with a pair of heels on. Really not much to write home about.

"You don't really look like the type of girl that enjoys dresses, not gonna lie." The black haired teen nodded. He was dressed in an equally casual outfit consisting of a plain black shirt, blue jeans, and some dance shoes.

"You don't look like the type for suits, either." Sierra nodded before she gestured to Tiberius and Miko. "These two, on the other hand…" She smirked.

"Up yours!" Tiberius retorted, not being in the mood for any teasing right now.

"Alright, I'll back off." The cheer captain said placating before looking at Miko. "You ready for the big event?" She asked. Miko grinned, knowing what she was getting at.

"You know it." She nodded.

As if on cue, Veronica came out onto the stage. "What's up everyone? You ready to have some fun tonight?!" She called into a microphone. The audience cheered loudly in response.

"Then let's go!" She replied as the music for "Just Dance" started playing. "I've had a little bit too much, much (oh, oh, oh) All of the people start to rush (start to rush by) A dizzy twister dance, can't find my drink or man. Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone (oh, oh, oh)." She started to sing, which everyone started to dance to. Except Tiberius and Miko who facepalmed.

"Seriously? That's what she's going with?" The Japanese girl muttered to her hybrid crush. "That's such an obvious choice."

"Makes me wonder what the hell I saw in her." Said hybrid muttered in agreement. Sighing, he decided to just say screw It and move on. "Come on." He told her as he pulled Miko towards the punch bowl and started pouring them two drinks.

"Thanks." She nodded as she took a sip.

"Miko, I was wondering, do you… Have anyone you're dating back home in Japan?" The boy asked her. She looked at him in surprise before shaking her head.

"No. No one back home ever caught my eye that way." She replied.

"Oh." He nodded, looking away as he continued to drink from his cup. "... Anyone here, then?" He continued after a minute.

"Well… There is one." Miko admitted.

This made Tiberius start to slowly die inside. 'Shit, she's already got someone in mind.' He thought dejectedly. As if sensing his turmoil, Miko listed some key features.

"He's blond, has green eyes, is insanely smart..." She listed before deciding to give him a flirtatious look. "And is absolutely gorgeous." She added. In other situations, the guy would have had these hints go over their heads. Tiberius, however, isn't normal since he caught on and felt his heart skip a beat.

'Hooooly shit, she's talking about me!' He thought in surprise as he nearly did a spit take. However before this conversation could go any further, Veronica finished her song, meaning it was their turn. Tiberius smirked as he walked alongside Miko.

"I got a song in mind for us. I think you'll like it." He said before whispering the name of the song to Miko. When she heard it, she had an ear to ear grin.

"Let's do it." She nodded. Sierra then came onto the stage with Jack. Miko then whispered their song of choice to them. When they heard it, they grinned.

"I can handle the drums easily." Jack nodded.

"I got the guitar." Tiberius added.

"I'll handle the bass." Miko nodded. "Sierra, think you can help me with the vocals?" She asked.

"With a song like this one? That's not even a question." The redhead smirked confidently. Jack started off by tapping his sticks together four times before he and Miko started playing before Tiberius joined in. The tune sounded like the music for "Move Along" by All American Rejects.

"Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking, When you fall, everyone stands. Another day, and you've had your fill of sinking. With the life held in your hands are shaking cold, these hands are meant to hold." Miko started singing, causing everyone in the crowd to start dancing to it.

When the time for the first chorus came, Sierra joined in. "Speak to me. When all you got to keep is strong. Move along, move along like I know you do, and even when your hope is gone. Move along, move along just to make it through—Move along, Move along." She and Miko sang as the boys started a brief solo, and they were starting to get more applause than Veronica did.

"So a day when you've lost yourself completely. Could be a night when your life ends. Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving. All the pain held in your hands are shaking cold. Your hands are mine to hold!" Miko sang.

"Speak to me! When all you got to keep is strong. Move along, move along like I know you do, And even when your hope is gone. Move along, move along just to make it through—Move along—(Go on, go on, go on, go on)—When everything is wrong, we move along—(Go on, go on, go on, go on)—When everything is wrong, we move along

Along, along, along, along!" Sierra joined in with the boys for the next line.

Then all of them started to play softer as the rest of the students started to join in. "When all you got to keep is strong. Move along, move along like I know you do. And even when your hope is gone—Move along, move along just to make it through—!" They sang before picking up the pace. "When all you got to keep is strong! Move along, move along like I know you do. And even when your hope is gone. Move along, move along just to make it through!—When all you got to keep is strong—Move along, move along like I know you do (Know you do)—And even when your hope is gone. Move along, move along just to make it through!"

Everyone started to chant "go on" as the song continued. "Right back what is wrong. We move along! (Go on, go on, go on, go on) Right back what is wrong! We move along! (Go on, go on, go on, go on) Right back what is wrong! We move along! (Go on, go on, go on, go on) Right back what is wrong! We move along!"

With that, the song came to an end and the entire audience cheered loudly for them at a higher volume that easily surpassed what Veronica got. Speaking of which, the pop star looked at them with a gobsmacked expression on her face.

Growling, the woman took a deep breath and turned to her bodyguard. "Come on Tex, we're leaving." She told the man.

"Right behind you." He nodded. Meanwhile, the gang waved as the students cheered for more. It was gonna be a good night.

(Later)

After the dance was over Bulkhead picked Tiberius and Miko up and brought them to Lover's Ridge just like the boy had planned. As the bot put himself in park, the Bioformer then turned to face the girl next to him, both of their faces flushed.

"Y-you wanted to tell me something?" Miko stuttered slightly. Tiberius nodded as he took a deep breath and then looked at her as seriously as he could.

"Miko, you know how I told you that I haven't had any serious feelings for anyone else ever since my break up with Veronica, right?" He asked her.

"Yeah… Why?" The girl asked.

"Well… That's changed recently." He told her. "Rather recently actually." He added.

"Really?" Miko asked in surprise. "Who's the girl?" She asked with the faintest trace of hope in her voice.

"Well, she's spunky, free spirited, and is a serious thrill seeker." He listed. "She's a big fan of metal and pop culture, and doesn't really understand the concept of a 'personal filter'." He added jokingly. Miko's heart began to soar at his words.

'IT'S ME!' She yelled in her thoughts in delight. Tiberius then moved in close and slowly undid the girl's pigtails, causing her hair to go down.

"She's also here from Japan." He whispered to her as he got in close to her neck. "Sound familiar to you?" He asked.

Without even hesitating or thinking, Miko kissed Tiberius on the lips, much to his surprise before he returned it. Both teens moaned in pleasure as they started to make out, the Japanese girl crawling into her new boyfriend's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck and running her hands through his hair while he put his on her waist.

'He/She has amazing lips.' The two teens thought in unison. As they separated briefly for air, they both looked into each other's eyes as they breathed heavily.

"I love you." The two panted at the same time. Tiberius then decided to take things a step forward and started kissing Miko from her jawline to her neck, and then to her collar bone area. Before settling on her neck and started sucking on it. Miko let out quiet moans as she held his head to her neck, wanting this to last.

… However the giant four hundred ton hunk of metal muscle they were currently snogging in decided now was the time to be the third wheel and clear his throat right as the windows started to fog up from how steamy things were getting.

"*Cough*" The wrecker coughed, causing the two to freeze as they realized what they were doing before getting back on their seats with red faces.

"So… Who's hungry? I hear KO Burgers is having a date night special. Half off every combo for two with a free drink and shake." The Autobot suggested awkwardly. The teens suddenly felt their stomachs rumble, making them remember that they hadn't eaten anything at the dance with the performance they had put up.

"That performance has worked up an appetite." Miko mused.

"I say we go for it." Tiberius nodded. With that, the two sat back and let their ride do the driving, with the wrecker being kind enough to put on some mood music to get the atmosphere back again.

All in all? Not bad for a first date if they said so themselves.

Dragon Emperor0: And there it is people, Miko and Tiberius are officially a thing now. Which means, Jack and Sierra won't be too far behind.

ThermalsniperN7: Yep. We also got to meet Tiberius' apparent ex… If you recognize what that bit was based off of, you are awesome.

Dragon Emperor0: Yeah, this is why I never fawned over pop stars as a kid. They all tend to be colossal bitches IRL. With a few exceptions, mind you. Anyway, see you next week.
