Wazzup peoples! This will probably be the last chapter for "you know you're obsessed with transformers when: "thanks for all the reviews and I hope you like this chapter. The mechs are about to be shocked!
"You know, there was a time when we would take a person like you and beat you to death with a garden hose but now you've got your damn unions and they kill all the fun."
"Good to know that im not going to die by garden hose."
'My friend and I having a random moment at school the teacher gave us the 'what the hell' look.'
Sideswipes POV
Most of the mechs; no all of the mechs had at least read a page of the now famous black binder. To be honest it was really entertaining picturing the humans on base doing some of these things. The humans didn't even know what we were laughing about all the time.
The only ones not happy, no that's an understatement they were downright depressed and they were also very agitated. Sam had asked what was wrong with them and had received a very nasty looking black eye from Syria. Which bumblebee was not very happy about by the way. Oh well we weren't about to give up our new source of entertainment.
I began to read the final pages of the binder in my quarters locking the doors. I would forward the rest to the others simply because if I just passed it around there would be more of a chance that Sera and Syria would notice it.

Sideswipe shuttered his optics as he came to the end of the binder. He was expecting at least another page of humor, but no this was the end. What did she mean by profile? After running a few scenarios he came to the conclusion that this had been printed out from the internet. He closed the binder and returned it to its hiding place before forwarding the remaining pages to the others. Thus he set off in search of Sera.
Sera's POV
I flopped on the couch after a hard day of training. N.E.S.T was cruel to the body. I was still disappointed that the binder hadn't turned up yet; I mean how hard was it to lose a freaking binder thicker than my thigh? Syria flopped down next to me and nursed her water bottle.
"You know its days like this when I could use a good laugh." She began
"Not right now sunny, im depressed." I moped
"When I find out who has it im going to rip their stomachs and feed it to them." Sunny growled
Bumblebee and Arcee walked/rolled in speaking about something, I caught the words hilarious, binder and twins.
*sunny maybe we should interrogate a few mechs in particular.*
*why not just threaten sam.*
*we have to find him.*
"Awesome." We bolted out of the and ran straight for Sam's office.
"Sam?" I called in to the office before knocking
"Yeah what now Syria?" Sam was kind of paranoid around us not that I blamed him.
"Sam we need a favor." Sunny began
"If it's to get you guys explosives, then the answer is no." he retorted his eye still slightly purple.
"As awesome as that would be no we need you for some leverage against bee. They were speaking about a binder and we think that it might be ours." I explained around Sam we didn't need to be soldiers around everyone else however.
"Depends what you mean by leverage." He narrowed his eyes at Syria.
"All we need you to do is stand there and look like you're afraid and in pain." Syria explained.
"Am I going to be in any real pain?"
"None at all prime, none at all." Syria purred using his cybertronian title.
"Fine." He agreed and we slipped out our swords and he followed us.
"I have a feeling that im going to be in pain." Sam muttered.
Sam and I waited outside of the until Syria called for us; apparently bumblebee and Arcee were sipping at cubes of energon still laughing.
'They aren't going to be laughing much longer.' I thought a little sadistically.
"Hey bee, Arcee can I ask you guys something." I began innocently walking up to them.
"Of course." Arcee responded cheerily.
"Have either of you seen a big black binder about as thick as my thigh?" I asked they stiffened before answering.
"Sorry Sera neither of us have seen it; if we do we'll tell you." Bumblebee responded somewhat shakily.
"Cut the bull shit and tell me who has it so I can dismember them as slowly as possible." I growled
"Are you accusing us of lying?" Arcee supposed almost sounding insulted.
I narrowed my eyes. "Does ironhide love his cannons?"
"We don't have it, nor do we know who has it." Bumblebee retorted.
"I know you're lying and if you don't tell me, well it would be most unfortunate for Samuel." Syria walked in with Sam in a headlock with her sword at his throat.
"Are you insane!" bee was about to get Sam but Syria pressed her sword in to Sam's throat and Sam squeaked.
"C'mon bee, just tell us where it is and Sam keeps his head." Syria growled smiling sadistically up at him.
Bumblebee and Arcee were jammed between a rock and a hard place. Though bumblebee seemed about to crack. *apply a little more pressure on him.* I ordered Syria and she squeezed his neck harder making him gag slightly.
"The twins have it." Bumblebee finally snapped.
"Which set?" I questioned
"Lamborghini." Arcee was also worried for Sam.
"Why am I not shocked. Thanks for playing along Sam, it was much appreciated." Syria thanked Sam.
As we walked away I faintly heard Sam speaking to bumblebee. "You were almost willing to let me die for a binder?"
I couldn't laugh about it now, I was too pissed. Though I can't say I was surprised at all, but to deliberately hide it from me and my sister and show it to every mech? No, that would not go unpunished. It explained why the mechs would randomly burst in to laughter or always have a smile on their face plates.
She wore her 'don't-bother-me-im- planning-something' face. *I know that face sides you have a plan.*
"Since they all seem to like that binder so much why don't we redecorate them to match it." Her lips curled in to a sadistic smirk.
"You are an evil genius." I agreed looking over what she wanted to do to every mech on base.
We skated to our quarters and of course the accursed Lamborghinis were waiting for us. I was promptly glomped by sideswipe. I hugged him back keeping the anger off my face; Syria was kissing sunstreaker quite passionately.
"Whats wrong?" sideswipe asked pulling me up the stairs along with him.
"Nothing sideswipe, im still kind of bummed that the binder hasn't shown up." I answered as truthfully as I could.
He tensed slightly but showed no other reaction to the mentioning of the binder. Though just by stiffening he proved his guilt, if there was any guilt.
"You'll find it Sera." He reassured pulling me on to the couch and flicking the television on.
"I hope so." I responded.
(Two days later; time: 8:00; Sera's POV)
After two days of preparation we had all we needed to pull our little revenge tactic, we had the paints, the glitter, the photos, even the getaway cars for later. Every human on base knew what was about to take place and had set up multiple cameras to capture the bots faces when they came out of recharge.
Syria typed furiously in to her laptop initiating the base wide lockout. Basically the mechs would end up sleeping in their alternate modes tonight in the main hanger making our job much easier but first we needed them to come out of their quarters.
A small alarm signaling decepticon activity sounded around base and the humans looked back at us for reassurance. I gave them thumbs up and right on que the mechs thundered in and Syria locked all of the mech sized room, even the med bay and changed the access code while turning off the alarm all in a few minutes while the chaos was happening.
"What happened?" A few mechs questioned.
"The alarm was tripped but there was no signal anywhere on the planet's surface." Prowl noted.
"Perhaps there is a glitch in the system."
Syria nonchalantly slipped her laptop back in to her bag and stood up next to me. I held back a laugh as they walked away from the monitors to their quarters only to find themselves locked out and unable to access the rooms in any way.
"Fraggit!" was the most common word used by each of the mechs.
Well all except for optimus and prowl since they were trying to maintain some dignity in this situation. I held back laughter as the humans dispersed and the bots tried to figure out where they were going to recharge now, since their rooms were blocked off to them.
After an hour of bickering though optimus ordered that they would try again in the morning and that they would all recharge in the main hanger with their alternate modes. Big mistake prime!
..Midnight..
All the bots were now in a deep recharge including our initial targets the twins. If you are wondering why we are doing this to all of them… well they all read it so quit questioning me!
Syria hacked in to their processors from a wireless uplink on her laptop and induced them in to a medical comma that would last until she decided to get rid of it or until we were far away enough to have a chance at escaping.
She gave me the go ahead sign and our friends came in with multiple paint cans and photocopied pictures from the binder. We began with optimus since he was the largest therefore the most time consuming. After about fifteen minutes though the once red and blue semi was now pitch black with various stickers on him all from the binder itself.
We then broke up in to two teams, autobots and decepticons and split the remaining bots in half. We got sunstreaker and sideswipe of course and we went to town on their paint jobs. In the end though all of the bots well accept Ironhide who was already black had a new paintjob. Along with some new decals Syria was now hacking sunny and sides room so I could retrieve the binder and hide it again hopefully where no one would ever see it again!
"Thanks for the help guys." I said as they all got in to their cars.
"No prob, guys just call us if they ever get a hold of it again." Meagan said with an evil smile closing the door of her Cadillac CTS.
We waved at them until they drove off in to the night leaving us to make preparations for our escape. I gathered the binder from sideswipes messy side of the room. Walking out with the binder in hand I saw Syria prepping our getaway cars, the red Ferrari 458 Italia for some autobot, and sideswipes old alternate mode the Chevy Corvette Stingray or Centennial which ever you preferred to call it. Either way both cars were orgasm worthy.
"How far do you think we are going to have to go?" I asked handing her the binder.
"I would say a state or two, maybe just flee the country for a good six months." She mused
"I think Los Angeles is far enough." I added.
"Let's think about that later right now we need to get out of here, I already unlocked their stasis so they should be waking up soon.
As if to answer her the sound of grinding gears could be heard in the hanger. We jumped in both sports cars and drove off gunning the engines as we did. Though we didn't miss sunstreaker scream
"MY PAINT!"
*think it was worth it?* I questioned over the bond as we hit the highway at top speed.
*oh yes, yes it was.*
Sideswipe's POV
In retrospect he should have seen this coming but of course it still kind of pissed him off that she had actually gone through with it. He knew someone had ratted him out and was determined to find out whom! The paint no matter how hard he tried would not come off. He needed to ask her where she got it and what other colors they had because this was really high quality.
Then there were the images… what could he say each one of them looked like the binder cover had thrown up on them and then proceeded to do it various times. The image of sera on his wrist joint was mocking him he just knew it. Somewhere off in the distance he could almost hear her laughing her aft off at them. Pit she probably had taken pictures of her handy work and was keeping them as blackmail.
The main hanger doors were closed due to the less than dignifying appearance of their leader. Actually when they had all come out of recharge various soldiers were taking pictures of each of them especially sunstreaker.
Sunny had gotten it bad, he even had the cute little pink bow on his roof which translated to some armor on his helm. As you can bet he did not take it well and to add more fuel to the fire Sera and Syria had left their signatures on him as well as a few entries from the actual binder on his arm plating.
Nobody was taking pictures of each other after all they all looked ridiculous and this probably wouldn't go away for a while but looking at himself and his brother he noted that out of all the mechs they had it the worse.
A sweet little note had been found in the center of all the chaos written by none other than the culprits.
'This is what happens when you steal; we'll be in Alaska by the time you read this so good luck! Oh and this was just a baby prank to what we could have done. If I had it my way I would have tied you all up and hung you from the golden gate bridge and start to take potshots at all of you with a rocket launcher but alas this was Sera's ideal prank.
After all if you liked the binder so much, why don't you take on its appearance?
P.S I want that bow back!
P.S.S this is what happens when you mess with the Queens of Pranks. '
He had an inkling that she was lying about the location, but he could believe that she would risk exposing them if it meant taking a few pot shots at them.
Shaking his helm he tried to tune out his brothers profanities and attempted to contact sera for the umpteenth time this morning. The dial tone rang in his head three times followed by sera's chipper voice telling him to leave a message after the beep. Of all the things he wanted to say all he could manage was a 'call me back as soon as possible.' Before hanging up and trying to pry off a few of the pictures she had pasted on him with little success.
"Stupid glue." He grumbled before giving up and looking towards his brother.
Sunstreaker in vein tried to rip the bow off of his helm with little notable success. Optimus had managed to pry off most of the pictures and decorations except for one stubborn one that remained pasted to his fore helm. Prowls door wings were covered in pictures as was his chevron and most of his legs but he was making progress at getting it all off. Ironhide being the lucky mech that he was simply had to peel off the pictures which he was doing as of now. Ratchet was mad that was all he was going to say and was taking it out on him and his brother once he managed to get himself back to his normal colors. Jolt was much the same, he had never seen the mech so peeved at him specifically since he was sp quiet but the first thing he said when he caught a glance of himself was
'I blame the twins for this.'
Arcee was silent not voicing her complaints which didn't surprise him at all seeing as she and bee had simply black paint and one picture with some bedazzles on them and that's it. They looked guilty making him pretty sure they were the ones who ratted him and his brother out. He could hear the humans outside laughing and resisted the urge to tell them to frag off and go find something better to do.
It would only give them the pleasure of knowing that it did bother him that a female outdid him in a prank and pit did it bother him. Especially since sera had made it clear that pranks no longer interested her and she needed something more… stimulating. He also remembered what that specific conversation led to.
A resounding beep sounded from the monitors signaling that contact had been made. Both of their faces popped up on the larger monitors.
Sera wore a large grin on her face, while Syria was having a full out laugh attack.
"Hey douche bags whats up?" Syria greeted a wide smirk on her face.
"I believe you know whats up." Optimus gestured to every mech in the room.
"Yeah, you know you look better than I thought it would turn out." Sera had a pensive look on her face.
"I told you the bow was necessary." Syria commented snickering as sunstreaker snarled at her.
Of the few times he had ever been more than mildly annoyed with her this was the first time he had actually seen him snarl at her after they had agreed to date.
"Hey don't be so angry about it, after all it's your own fault." Her eyes narrowed at seemingly everyone in the room.
"I can understand the twins but why everyone else?" jolt commented.
Syria shrugged "You all read it, so we figured that you should all get punishment."
"After the first thing we said to you all was to not come in to our rooms without permission and you broke that rule which also credited for the punishment." Sera explained.
"So now you care about rules?" prowl asked well more like growled.
"Only our own prowler, only our own." Syria laughed.
"You are to report back to base immediately." Optimus ordered.
"Prime, we are crazy but we are not suicidal besides we have reservations in Alaska for some fun."
"We'll see you in a week!" they both cackled evilly and the screen went black.
Well they were fragged if they wanted all of this off them before they got to them. Besides even when they managed to pry all the stuff they had pasted on to them off they would be (if they really meant it) in Alaska.
A text message popped up on his HUD from none other sera, curious he opened it and read the three short words.
XJetJudoApprenticeX: Revenge is Sweet, babe.
Authors note: eventually the girls were dragged back unwillingly by their botfriends and thoroughly given the cold shoulder. Not that they cared after all IT WAS SO WORTH IT to quote Sera.
Im sorry this took so long! Don't hate me! I know the ending sucks but I have been focusing on the rewrite of TaU and haven't had much time for this. Along with the slight writers block on how I wanted the bots to get punished.
Anyway the ending was half assed and I was planning to go a little further but eleven pages is a lot to me and my finger have started to hurt.
Oh yeah numbers 149- 154 were inspired by Wrena Wolfkin I just tweaked them a bit to fit.
anyway, review and tell me what you thought… im sorry it's so late!
