Summary: Prompt/Rules: Put your entire music collection on shuffle, hit play, and write. Write for as long as each song plays and move on to a different writing when the song switches (even if it's mid-sentence). Go for ten songs (or five). If nothing comes, it still counts. If you're listening to a comedian, you can skip it.
*Drabbles have been cleaned up a bit for posting. (some punctuation, spelling and no mid ending sentences)
Boot Scootin Boogie – Brooks and Dunn – (Ironhide & Autobots)
Ironhide entered the Rec room to a scene he had truly not seen in the entire time they had been on earth. Couches, tables and chairs pushed aside, six mechs were currently in a line doing some sort of a dance. Now, Jazz, Blaster and Sideswipe were not really a surprise. Even Ratchet could be explained as the CMO was certainly known to enjoy a good time when the high grade was flowing. However, tonight, the high grade was not. Yet it was the final two that had Ironhide staring. The first was Sunstreaker and the second Prowl. And all six were doing the most interesting things. For the most part, there appeared to be a pattern, but all of the mechs were…improvising as various lines of the song came up.
The Old Man – Clint Black - (Kup)
"….down the road, who knows how many he's been down before, all the years he's come to know… hanging on to yesterday, till to many tomorrows are today….." Kup listened to the song he was picking up off the humans radio. How was it that these humans, with their short lives could truly understand what it was Kup knew to be true? But this human singer, young for his species, and his song, spoke of feelings in his spark. Yes the day had come, he was the old mech now, he had lived that long, and it was tough sometimes to realize that you were vorns upon vorns older than the rest of the mechs you taught and fought alongside. Experience, he no longer wondered about the 'if's' this human sung about.
Iron Eagle (Never Say Die) - King Kobra – (Thundercracker & Skywarp)
Thundercracker was racing through the sky, pushing his engines to the max. Seeking escape. Escape from what, he wasn't sure. So he lost himself in the feel of the pressure pressing against every surface of his body. He pushed his engines harder, reaching for maximum speed as he shot across the desert, a mere 50 feet above the ground. Above him, Skywarp pushed his engines to the as well, keeping an optic on his wingmate. On a whim, Thundercracker flipped himself over and Skywarp flipped as well, their positions reversing. Another twitch by Thundercracker and the two seekers pulled up in a vertical climb, this time spiraling in a corkscrew maneuver around each other. Now Thousands of feet up they split apart, looped around meeting again and continued the corkscrew as they raced towards the ground. Then they were pulling out of the dive to race again along the surface of the planet, flipping and reversing their positions around each other. It was precision flying, the kind that was needed from a long term partner whenever Thundercracker had to flee what was in processor.
I Think I'm a Clone Now – Weird Al Yankovic – (Autobots)
It was unusual only in that the result had not been born of an explosion. Still, the result was not what anyone in Wheeljack's Lab had been aiming for. Not Wheeljack, nor Perceptor, nor the tactical planning unit, nor the twins who had been brought in to test the gizmo. The result standing before the gathered Mechs optics had been enough to crash both Red Alert and Prowl. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were currently bristling at mirror images of themselves, except without the mirror.
"Well congratulations 'Jack. According to these readings, these are full 100 percent copies of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Right down to the shared spark, and I really don't know how to explain that one. So, I suppose you could call this a success, after all you did manage to double the twin's strength. But I'm pretty sure that Prowl and Red Alert, if they were still online would agree that two Lamborghini twins, one with sociopathic tendencies and one extremely prank prone were plenty. I don't think the ark can handle four lambo twins."
Hawaii Five-O – The Ventures – Instrumental Magic Disc 1 – (Sunstreaker & Sideswipe)
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were playing with the cop. It was a day off, and they had headed out of the Ark to check out some of the local highways. They hadn't actually been speeding that much. A mere 125 MPH on the interstate out in a non populated area between cities and towns. Then they had picked up the cops radar gun zapping the few cars well ahead of them. It had not taken more than 2 seconds for the twins to simultaneously increase their speed up to 200MPH. Together they raced towards the highway patrol's location and his waiting radar gun. They knew the moment they were tagged, and seconds later were skidding to a perfect stop right in front of the cop and his car. A teasing flash of headlights and the two accelerated back up to 200.
Johnny Freedom – Johnny Horton (Autobots)
It was times like this that Prime marveled at the various Mechs that made up the Autobot Army. The battle had been a draw; the only thing either side had won was high casualties. As he walked the rear lines where the medics had set up shop, he saw bots of many different backgrounds working together. Differences set aside for one thing, freedom from the tyranny Megatron was offering.
I'll Make A Man Out Of You – Donny Osmond – (Disney's Mulan) – (Ironhide)
Ironhide sighed at the recruits lined up before him, he was sure they were getting younger and younger. Not that you could tell by looking, but by behavior, and how they talked. Yes that was the tell. Not that older bots arrived with any real knowledge of battle or what they were getting into. Not unless he was lucky enough to have Toughline models in the line. But, even there, he had problems. Namely, discipline was a serious issue. Toughline's, were built for fighting, and that's what they wanted. To a Toughline, every situation was fight or flight, and they always chose fight. No matter that the other Autobot in the army usually chose flight when facing a Toughline model.
Ironhide brought his processor wanderings back to the line of mechs in front of him, no Toughline's this time. "OK, listen up, everything you think you know, you don't. You don't have a clue. Listen to what I tell you.
Super-cali-fragi-listic-expialidocious - Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke – (Disney's Mary Poppins) – (Sideswipe and Prowl)
Edited 10-11-2011: At some point between original post and now won't let the word be posted unless it is broken up.
"Super-cali-fragi-listic-expialidocious."
Prowl would have quirked an eyebrow if he had had the ability. As it was his optics glowed briefly. He could not have heard correctly. "What?"
I said "Super-cali-fragi-listic-expialidocious."
"And what kind of answer is that?"
"It's what you say when you don't know what else to say."
"And why don't you know what to say?"
Well, Prowl, I may have done a lot of things, I'll freely admit to you I bend the rules a lot. But I have never ever lied to you. And this time, I really don't know what to tell you so ."
