Hello, readers! It's really amazing how an apple and your cat can strike with the lightning of inspiration. Plus, I was tweaking really hard. I don't own TFP but I do own Miko's prank.

Who's ready to rumble?

"Miko, what in the world do you think you're doing?"

I winced. Scrap! I've been discovered! I looked back at Ratchet, trying really hard to look innocent. I was pulling one of Ratchet's wrenches away from his ginormous tool box.

"Uh... nothing?" I said, still hunched over the end of the wrench I had a hold of.

"Waiting until I had my back turned to try and take my favorite wrench isn't nothing. What did you plan on doing with it?" Ratchet glared down at me. Scrapscrapscrapscrap! Come on, think! I am so dead if I don't think of something soon!

"I was gonna fix something." I inwardly kicked myself in the head. Great, now I really won't get outta this mess. All he did was raise an eyebrow... optic ridge... whatever the heck you call it.

"Something really big," I tried. His face said 'Are you fucking kidding me?' I sighed. Resistance is futile.

"Okay, fine. I wanted the wrench so I could make a skateboarding ramp. Happy now?"

"I'm never happy." The big stick in the mud crouched down and took the wrench from me and put it on a really high shelf. I pouted. Party pooper. I glared at his metal back as he turned back to that monitor.

I will exact my revenge on you. Just you wait.

Later, Bulkhead drove me to my host parents' house and dropped me off. I said hi to my host parents and went up to my room. I plopped down onto the bed and stared at a picture of my two cats- Wait. I smile formed slowly on my lips. The kind of smile that scared my host parents.

I know exactly what I'm gonna do to you, Doc Bot. Yeah... all I have to do is convince Optimus...

...

"Please? Please? PLEASE?" I begged. Come on, Optimus! I can't pull this off without you! He arched an eyebrow at my pleading. Jack stopped and watched both of us, but I ignored him. I gotta focus on persuading Boss Bot.

"Why do you so strongly wish to stay at the base over this weekend?"

"It'll be fun! Plus, you guys do kinda need a day off from worrying about the Cons."

Optimus considered my words. "The Autobots do need some stress relief, me included. You can invite Rafael and Jack, if you like."

"Yes! Thanks, Boss Bot! So, Jack, you in?" I turned and looked at the black haired guy.

"Well... I don't have anything planned for this weekend, so why not?" Jack shrugged. I pumped my fist. This is gonna be awesome!

"I'll make sure to have Mom get your host parents to think you're at our house." Oh, yeah, them. They don't know about the Bots. Suddenly, I heard an excited gasp somewhere behind me.

"A sleepover? Awesome! Bee! We're coming for a sleepover tomorrow!" Before I could even look to see the kid, he was running down the hall to tell Bee. I guess that's a 'yes' for Rafael. I inwardly smiled. This is gonna be delicious. But, first, I need a partner in crime... Optimus is completely out of the question for obvious reasons. Bulkhead will go all parent mode and scold me. Jack is out. Arcee-no. I'd have to be really stupid to even mention this to Ratchet. That leaves Raf and Bee...

...

"Bumblebee!" He beeped in response and looked up from whatever he was doing on that datapad. Thankfully, I've been around him enough to kinda sorta understand what he's saying. I looked around the main room. No one but us here.

"I need your help!" He whirred, making it sound like a question. I looked around and down the halls again and motioned for him to come closer. He crouched down to my level and leaned in close. I brought my voice down to a whisper.

"I need you to help me..." I whispered my master plan into Bumblebee's audio receptor. He couldn't stop making this snorting sound when I finished up. There was a huge smile in his optics.

"So, you in?" I looked up at him. I can't so this without him, either. He nodded vigorously. I gave his face a quick hug.

"I love you, man. I can't do this without you!" I'll make sure he doesn't get in trouble, though. Now, all I need to do is go to the store...

...

It was already late in the night and Jack, along with Raf are out cold in their sleeping bags. We have watched a bunch of movies with the bots. Even Optimus stuck around to watch. Ratchet was not a happy camper when he heard that we were staying over for the weekend. He got a little huffy and went off to his bed- uh, berthroom. I looked at Jack and Raf, slowly climbing out of my black and pink sleeping bag. Ratchet has to be knocked out by now.

I tiptoed down the dark hall. I figured that Optimus was a light sleeper, being a guy fighting in a war. The last thing I want is Boss Bot foiling my plans. Bee's door was slightly open. I slipped in, careful not to touch the door. Don't want that to creak. The room was really dark, but Bee cut on his headlights to help me see our supplies. He carried the heavier stuff while I grabbed as much as I could and headed over to Ratchet's room. I grinned devilishly.

Let the fun begin.

... Ratchet's POV...

I slowly came out of recharge. I haven't slept that well in orns. I sighed quietly and stood to go grab my cube of energon from storage. Warnings were flashing before my optics, telling me I was starting to run low on energon. I may as well get on monitor duty while I'm up. Either that, or drink my energon and go back to sleep. I headed towards my door when got the powerful urge to look myself over before I left my berthroom.

I looked and screamed.

I screamed loud and in a very unmechly way as I looked at myself, horrified. Throwing the door open and racing down the halls to the main control room, I yelled loudly, demanding to know who did this to me. They are guaranteed to get a very hard wrenching!

"WHO DID THIS?! I SWEAR BY PRIMUS, WHO EVER DID THIS IS DEAD! DEAD, I TELL YOU!" I raced into the light of the control room to see everyone in the room, backs to me. Everyone except Miko.

"We were just talking about you, Ratchet." Miko smiled. I have learned that when she gave that smile, she did something she had no business doing. I pointed at her angrily.

"You! You did this!" It suddenly became silent as everyone, bot and human, turned to look at me. Everyone just stared at me.

"Wow. Didn't know you were into cats, Ratchet." Bulkhead muttered.

"What?" Something's going on here that I don't know about... and I certainly don't like it.

...Miko's POV...

"Merr-row?" I had to bite my tongue really hard to keep from laughing my butt off. Bumblebee's doorwings were shaking hard. He's having trouble, too. I can't believe it worked!

Ratchet was painted mostly black with white hands and feet. White whiskers were attached to his face and a black nose was painted on. Metal cat ears were put on Ratchet's head and a fluffy feather boa tail was on his backside. Overall, he was a black and white kitten.

"Meowreow merr..." Ratchet glared really hard at me. Everyone just burst out laughing. Well, except Optimus, of course.

"Didn't know you could speak cat, Ratchet," Arcee said. Bulkhead laughed so hard he started wheezing. Bumblebee was laid out on the floor laughing up a storm. Rafael had taken off his glasses trying to wipe his eyes. Jack covered his mouth and kept snorting.

"Grrr... Mowmowmow reow!" I couldn't hold it anymore. I laughed till nothing came out. He sounds just like an angry cat!

"What is wrong with Ratchet?" Optimus said behind that battle mask. That smile I heard in his voice can't hide, though. I stepped forwards. If I get in trouble, Bee won't get in trouble with me.

"It was me. He wouldn't let me make a skateboard ramp out of his wrench and I did a revenge prank on him. I have to tell you, that was so worth the money I spent!"

"What made you turn him into a cat? I thought he'd be more like a badger." Bulkhead said.

"Mer-reow?! Grrr!" Ratchet growled. I cannot take him seriously like that!

"So, do I have to change him back?" I looked up at Optimus. He gazed down at me, a very serious look in his optics. Oh, no. I am in so much trouble right now. I am so gonna get in trouble. May as well not come back here again.

"No, you don't."

"MEW!"

So how was that? I'm considering continuing this... Should I, folks? I stared at my cat all day, then that came to me. Had to get it out, man! Peace!

P.S. Everyone, can you please leave a kind word for my mom? Her aunt just died an hour ago. She's not taking it too well.
