A/N: So..ITS BEEN A WHILE. I'm sorry guys, I've been busy with school and got so distracted DX Soo much has happened though in the TFP universe, including a new character. So, since I've returned to try and write weekly/daily again, we're going to use the newest Autobot. I'm a bit rusty, so bear with me xD
"Smokescreen….."
The Autobot froze, the small winglets on his back twitching as he pivoted around to face the human known as Jack, grinning sheepishly. Both the human and mech were standing a few miles away from base, Smokescreen having insisted on Jack tagging along. Now Jack had been clueless at first, guessing that Smokescreen maybe wanted to learn a bit more about planet Earth. Of course, he had been wrong.
"Whaaat? I'm not doing anything wrong. Yet" Smokescreen lowered his vocalizer at the last word, causing Jack to snort.
"We're hiding behind a large rock watching the road like a hawk. What are you waiting for anyways?" Jack's eyes drifted around the barren wasteland known as the outskirts of Jaspar, Nevada. The landscape out here sported little vegetation, though every once in a while you might find a bit of grown protruding out of the ground. Nevertheless, Jack could not find any reason as to why they would be out here at this time of day waiting for whatever Smokescreen wanted.
"Well, Optimus is going to KILL me if I get spotted again. And Ratchet? He'll weld me to the ceiling. That's why we're hiding. I wouldn't think I'd have to explain this to you Jack" Smokescreen teased, Jack snorting in response again.
"I know that much Smokescreen. What I don't know is what you want out here. There's nothing around" Jack chuckled, sighing and running a hand through his hair. They had waited here for what seemed like forever, Smokescreen refusing to give any hints as to why he dragged Jack out here. Honestly, Jack could not see what could pipe Smokescreen's interest out here in the middle of nowhere. A few racers sometimes sped down this road, but not usually at this time. He glanced over at the young mech, watching as his small winglet's perked up a little, optics widening and a grin forming on his faceplates.
"Alright! Come on Jack, its time!" the mech transformed quickly, Jack jumping backwards in surprise. Smokescreen popped his door open for the human, honking loudly when Jack failed to move. Blinking, Jack quickly gathered himself together and dove for the vehicle, flinching as the door slammed behind him and locked tightly.
"Smokescreen, what's going on?!" Jack shouted, jerking back a little as the mech tore out from behind the boulder and racing down the dusty road. His tires squealed as he took off, though the sound was drowned out by the high pitched sirens blaring from behind them. Jack whirled around, eyes widening as he realized it was a patrol car.
"SMOKESCREEN!" Jack shouted, holding on for dear life to the seat as Smokescreen sped down the road, laughing excitedly.
"See? Isn't this great? Miko told me you guys had these enforcers around who would chase you if you went to fast. I wanted to see if this one could catch me" Smokescreen would have grinned if he could, instead honking his horn and speeding up. The patrol car behind them somehow managed to keep up with their pace, sirens blaring and flashing as it tailed the Autobot and human.
"You're not SUPPOSED to make them chase you. If we get caught, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble" Jack squawked, heart beating faster than Smokescreen was moving. While he was worried about the consequences of being caught, he was more concerned about his life as Smokescreen skid a little, taking a turn a bit too fast.
"Ah, we're not going to get caught! This human can't keep up with me! See, I'll lose him on the way to base" Smokescreen snorted, slamming on his breaks as he took a sharp turn, Jack slamming against the side and groaning. The mech laughed as the patrol car behind them sped on by, unable to stop fast enough to continue following them. Nevertheless, Smokescreen continued to speed along the dirt path, making sure the human enforcer was no longer following them. Once he was certain of their success, he slowed down to a stop, allowing Jack to stumble out as he transformed.
"Man that was so much fun. We've GOT to do that again" Smokescreen laughed, optics bright with amusement as he looked down at Jack. Jack coughed a little, looking back up at Smokescreen for a split second, finally laughing with the mech. As dangerous as that was, he could not help but admit that t was fun.
"You won't be doing ANYTHING for a while Smokescreen" The familiar growl of a certain medic caused the winglet's on Smokescreen's back to flare up a little, grinning sheepishly as he slowly turned to face the mech. Jack was slowly inching away, well aware of the medic's tendency to use wrench's as a weapon. Smokescreen, however, was not.
"Ratchet, I was only having a bit of fun. I didn't get caught or anything. It's nothing to worry about, really" Smokescreen laughed, slightly nervous due to who he was talking to. He had hoped that someone else would come to his rescue, but this hope was soon dashed as he realized they were not near the base at all.
"You could have gotten yourself injured, or worse, CAUGHT! I don't have time to waste on repairing you because of your stupid stunts" Ratchet snarled, optics darkening. This new Autobot had proved to be quite the risk taker, always doing things that resulted in a lot of work for him.
"Well..I didn't get caught. Or injured! So..I guess I'll be going now" Smokescreen grinned, transforming quickly and pivoting around in place, taking off as soon as he could. Ratchet narrowed his optics, retrieving a wrench he had always kept on him.
Smokescreen could not help but laugh, noticing the gesture through his mirrors. There was no WAY Ratchet would be able to get him with that. He knew he would have to deal with the medic later, but for now he could rejoice in his triumph. Of course, being the new Autobot, he was unaware of Ratchet's impressive aim.
The wrench whizzed through the air at impressive speed, ramming in to the bumper of the unsuspecting newbie. Smokescreen let out a high pitched squealing, swerving as the wrench made contact. He promptly stopped, transforming and howling in pain. He was soon cut off as another wrench flew through the air, making contact with his helm and causing him to collapse. He groaned before his optics off lined, falling in to stasis.
A/N: I was going to come up with some kind of ending better then that, but unfortunately I'm a bit pressed for time and really could not think of anything. Hopefully you guys enjoyed 3 Don't forget to leave reviews and suggestions for new chapters. I could really use the help since its been so long xD
