"WoOoOoOoOo." Bud said, a sheet draped over his body.

Ratchet 'blinked'. "What in Primus's name are you doing?"

"Just messing around in the spirit of halloween."

"Hallo-what?"

Bud stared up at him in wide-eyed horror, a look he always used when one of the Autobots didn't know about something he considered important. "You don't know what halloween is?"

"No."

"Well, look it up!"

A few seconds later Ratchet frowned. "You humans go around in ridiculous outfits to get candy?"

A wide grin. "Yep!"

"What is the point of this... event?"

"I think there's a story behind it all, but I'm not sure. But most kids do it just for the candy. Some do it just for the chance to dress-up and have fun."

"That's ridiculous."

Bud shrugged and turned around. "Maybe. But we're having a party after we go trick-or-treating at Lennox's house since it's fairly secluded. Trick-or-treating starts at six, party at nine. Come if you want." He walked out of the room.


Ratchet pulled up to the house, not surprised to find everyone there. It also wasn't a surprise that Bluestreak, Wheeljack, The twins, Bumblebee, and Jazz had their holoforms out, costumes in place. Ironhide was slightly surprising. The biggest surprise, however, was Optimus and Prowl.

Ratchet activated his holoform and walked up to Optimus. "A jedi? Seriously?"

Optimus grinned. "Everyone else was going in group costumes, and the Lennox's didn't want me to feel left out."

"How did they convince 'Hide to dress up as one?"

"He says because Mrs. lennox forced him, but I think it's because of the lightsaber."

Ratchet snorted. "It would be just like him to dress-up just for the weapon."

"I did not do it just for the weapon!" Ironhide protested.

"Liar."

"Damn it Mojo! Get back here with my lightsaber." Mojo ran out of the house, Will in hot pursuit.

"You brought your dog with you?" Ratchet asked Sam.

He grinned sheepishly. "My mom kinda made me..."

Ratchet looked at his costume. "And what are you supposed to be?"

"Me and Mikaela are pit crew. ' 'Bee's a race car driver."

He looked around. "And everyone else?"

"Eh, Wheeljack is a mad scientist, Blue is his assistant. Coby, Lori, Colonel Franklin, and Professor Suzuki are an ER team, Suzuki the doctor, Lori and the Colonel the nurses, and Coby the patient. Bud is a vampire, the mini-cons his zombie slaves. Fig refused to dress up, so Maggie convinced Epps to dress-up as the Devil's side of Fig's conscience while she dressed-up as the angel side. and, let's see... Oh! Prowl is a prison warden trying to catch Jazz, and the twins who are, of course, dressed as escaped convicts. And last, but not least, Sarah, Will, 'Hide, and Optimus are dressed up as Jedis' and Annabelle is Yoda."

"Of course..."

Lori appeared at his side. "What are you going to be?"

He shrugged. "I do not know."

"Well... you could join are ER team. Wanna be our paramedic?"


"This is ridiculous."

"Ah, come on Prowler, it isn't that bad."

"Shut up Jazz..."

"Come on guys," Sarah said. "It's halloween, time to relax, have some fun."

Sunstreaker chuckled. "It seems you haven't been informed. Prowl doesn't know what fun is."

Ratchet hit him in the head.

"Ow!"

Sarah shook her head in amused exasperation.

"Just... everybody get in the car."

The holoforms melted away, the humans heading toward their favored Autobot.


Sideswipe cackled gleefully at his bucketful or candy. Unfortunately (Is you ask anyone concerning the twins) their holoforms could consume food (Or candy). And the candy (Again, unfortunately) had the same affect on them as it did children. Ratchet sighed. This was going to be a long night.

"Candy, candy, candy, candy!"

A very long night.


"This holiday is insane." Ratchet grumbled.

"Aw, you liked it, admit it." Mikaela teased him.

He walked into the Lennox's house. (his holoform, of course) "Doesn't make it any less ridiculous."

"Well, no."

"Please tell me that's all the crazy things we're doing for the night."

"Well..."

"Hey, anyone up for a horror movie?" Sam yelled from the living room.


Haha, two hours until midnight and then it would (technically) not be halloween anymore, but I (barely) made it! Happy halloween people.

And, yes, I don know this sucks. But I wanted to put it up before midnight and halloween ended, so... yeah. I might come back and redo it.

(I'm deleting the 'Hurricane Ike' A/N's from all of my stories. Since I've obviously got computer and internet back, there isn't much point to it anymore.)

*Thinking about the last sentence* Hmm, that might be an idea for my next one-shot...
