Well I suppose I'm pretty close to being back in a groove for this. Thanks you guys for reviewing and sticking with this after so long of not updating, it really means a lot! Credit to these rules goes to Skyress 98 for the first one (I hope it's okay, it's the best I could do), Riyappe Paws for the next three, and myself for the last. Enjoy and drop your suggestions as you think of them!
….
#66 Don't introduce the bots to 'Jaws'
(Seriously, they've got enough on their plates with Megatron and his schemes, the last thing they need to think about is a giant, crazy mechanical shark)
(I dragged Optimus, Bulkhead, and Smokescreen with me to watch that old 80's movie...)
(bad idea, but not quite in the way I thought)
(apparently there's something on their planet, or one near it at least, that's populated by things called 'Sharkticons'. Smokescreen visibly shuddered, describing their foot long metal teeth and huge size, not to mention a spiked tail. Bulkhead chimed in with their piranha-like nature, and Optimus even threw in a terrifying story when he'd been attacked by a bunch of Sharkticons.)
(You know how people wouldn't go in the ocean after watching Jaws?)
(I guess I'm not going to Cybertron now)
#67 Sarcasm is not a language Soundwave understands
(Like, at all. The intelligence officer takes EVERYTHING literally)
(which can be good...but most of the time it works against me since I speak fluently in sarcasm. Most of what happened was Doc Knock's fault)
(Hanging out with the cons after my oh so fun mouth surgery, Knockout insisted he check on me, even though I wasn't on my painkillers any more)
(I was walking down the hall when he caught me, and Soundwave was walking by as well as the good doctor and I were... deliberating. I didn't even notice the mute one walk by, he was so quiet and his color kinda blends into the walls)
"Are you really sure you aren't taking anything else Aurra? Your mental function seems impaired still and..."
(this is when he threw a wrench at me and it smacked me in the shoulder, where I promptly yelped)
"..Your reaction time is slow."
"First of all, OW. Second, what do you think I'd do? Hide a video camera in Soundwave's wash racks so I could listen to him sing along to dubstep in the shower?"
(faster than I registered, something grabbed the back of the hoodie I was wearing and pulled me about twenty five feet off the floor, starting to march me down the hallway. I twisted around to see Soundwave's blank face, and it almost hurt the way his long fingers were twisted into my jacket)
(I tried to ask what was his malfunction, but he just turned into what I figured was his quarters, walking to the entrance of his wash rack and lowering me to about seven feet from the ground before just dropping me)
(I wasn't ready for it and fell right on my butt, and I think I've got a bruised tailbone for it too...)
(no way I'm letting Knockout get near me with a ten foot pole on that one...)
(but anyway, he just silently pointed into his shower and stood there like he expected something of me. I rubbed my backside and held up my hands in a 'what do you want me to do' gesture, but he just pointed again)
"What do you want? For me to clean your shower? That's gonna be kinda hard when you just broke my ass."
(Soundwave dropped his hand and replayed my own voice saying "Hide a camera in Soundwave's wash racks" he thought I actually did it.)
(I kid you not it took fifteen minutes of cajoling him just to get him to sort of believe me)
(do you know how hard it is to explain sarcasm?)
(Anyway, he himself had to scan his entire wash rack up and down, and when he was satisfied, I got a pretty unceremonious expulsion from his room.)
(He shot out one of his tentacles and wrapped it around my foot, lifting me in the air and walking to the entrance of his quarters. Without so much as a glance, he flicked me like a bug down the hall in the direction Knockout had been.)
(Oh, don't worry, I didn't fall on my butt again, I needed to keep it even, you know? So...I just skidded on the metal floor in a total scorpion until I came to a stop with my feet bent backwards over my head. When I managed to twist around, Knockout was laughing so hard he couldn't even talk and I had a bloody nose and a busted lip from bashing my face on the ground)
(ow)
#68 Don't call Starscream attractive
(at least in audio range of any of the Decepticon higher ups)
(on second thought... don't call him that within earshot of ANY cons)
(It's not for the reason you might think. Oh, he LOVES preening over himself and getting complimented...just...not quite in the way I did it)
(I suppose for a seeker he looks nice, but hey, what do I know? I happened to make the passing comment that I was curious how he didn't twist his ankle since he wears those hooker boots for heel struts)
(This...happened to be loud enough for all to hear in the middle of the bridge, where Megatron, Knockout, Soundwave, and Dreadwing were talking. Not to mention Ca-r1 and St3v3.)
(Six pairs of optics turned to me in curiosity themselves, and one glowing red glare from the mech in question bored into my soul. Apparently Starscream's stilettos are his own business.)
(Said Seeker grabbed me off the floor and marched into the hallway with his grip so tight I couldn't breathe, then did something I wasn't expecting that was quite painful)
"Let's see what you think of my 'hooker boots' now, fleshling!"
(with that, he released his hold and as I was falling to the floor, he freaking drop-kicked me)
(halfway down the hall I might add)
(luckily the med-bay isn't far from the bridge...)
#69 Arachnid isn't amused by silly string
(at all)
(Unlike Miko, I have no fear of spiders, and to amuse mostly myself, I bought two cans of silly string and duct taped them around my arms so I could still reach the trigger and spray 'web' like a spider)
(Who better to try this out on than the spider-lady?)
(I laid in wait in her quarters, feeling so ninja-like while I crouched in the shadows. She was NOT expecting it when she opened the door and I let loose with my silly string frenzy right in her face, hissing like a retarded cobra. She backpedaled a few steps and quickly swiped the string off her optics, which in turn narrowed when she saw it was me. I admit...having the queen of sadists glaring at you from under pink and green silly string is more terrifying than you might think.)
(ten minutes later... I was wrapped in a sticky cocoon of her webbing with all but my face wrapped up)
(did I also mention I was stuck upside down on the bottom of the Nemesis while it was cruising in the sky?)
#70 DEFINITELY get Predaking on your side
(I'd heard rumors of Shockwave's new pet/ experiment)
(a bit more intimidating seeing a massive robo-dragon that could and would easily rip you to shreds in person, but I was more in awe than anything at the huge black and orange beast)
(I hadn't spent a lot of time with Shockwave, but he seemed decent enough, he kept to himself and I suppose he liked me enough to let me near Predaking)
(Actually, when you got to know him, that dragon was like a big dog)
(who liked to play rough, but that's beside the point.)
(I found out I'm small enough to reach spots that he really likes to be scratched or rubbed, as in, I can get my hand in between his plates of armor. Now it's to the point Predaking will lower his head when I get close just so I'll scratch a spot he loves right behind his jaw. I also love his big yellow optics, soft towards me, but behind it is the fierce intensity of the predator he was programmed to be.)
(Okay, so one day I was on the deck Predaking was usually kept in, even though I wasn't really supposed to be on the upper decks after my flying attempts.)
(After Dreadwing helped me, Megatron kinda just let it slide)
(Anyway, I was strolling around, enjoying the breeze in my face and the air cold enough I was wearing a jacket, then someone grabbed my hood and pulled me into the air, choking me a second before a pulled the material off my throat. I could've guessed who it was)
"Starscream...What do you want?" I asked, irritated.
"You aren't supposed to be up here, squishy."
(with that, he tossed me into his hand and he drew back to THROW me into the inner decks of the Nemesis.)
(Afthat)
(All the time though, I couldn't help but wonder where Predaking was. I got my answer when I was shot straight up in the air and Starscream disappeared from under me. I kind of pedaled in the air as I came down but I didn't fall far before I landed on something hard and metal. I looked down to see slick black metal and a bright yellow optic looking at me in concern. Predaking had caught me on the top of his head and lowered me with a great gentleness to the ground, where I gratefully hopped off and scratched under his chin, earning a deep guttural growl of satisfaction from the dragon.)
(I went inside, and Predaking went back to his new silver chew toy that screamed when he bit it.)
…
I know these weren't the best, okay I suppose, but not my best. I personally have an affinity for Predaking, so if you can think of any of those on top of the others I'd definitely write it! Keep the suggestions coming and thank you all for your continued support!
