Check out my return! It's been a few days, eh? X'D

Get ready for more clinic duty with Amity! And on the subject of Knock Out, you should check out my new story "Cross Over" if you like him. It mostly deals with him leaving the Decepticons and... well, no spoilers. If you read it, you'll see! I promise you'll like it~

I now have a cover for this story! I made it. I'm very proud of it, and it's colored. Not inked though. Hopefully I'll get to scan it tonight and add it as an image. I think you guys shall like it! It's funny.

Anyway! Hope you guys like!

21. Knock Out and Breakdown are a couple. They are not "buff buddies."

(Obviously, it's not as funny as you think it is.)

(And I thought I finally had a good nickname for them!)

(I mean, I already had to go through several nicknames that they didn't like.)

(Before, during, and a few days after Valentine's Day, I made up theme names. Knock Out was Roses, and Breakdown was, predictably, Violets.)

(Of course, they hated those. So I came up with Sweet Rims for Knock Out, and Shakedown for Breakdown.)

(Because... well, yeah, they're self-explanatory, really.)

(But anyway, I had to think up some new nicknames. It was difficult, because much as you think it would be easy, it's surprisingly... not. I mean, picking one or two words that describe them?)

(That's not enough.)

(Then I realized, between Doc Knock's "knock knock, guess who~" and Breakdown's "Yeah, ha, he had a breakdown!", they actually really love puns.)

(So I replaced one word, and decided to refer to them as "buff buddies." You probably know what the original term is.)

(They can be annoying sometimes with their... affection... but of course we wouldn't want them any other way, no? They're cute. I swear that's all I meant by the new nickname.)

(They didn't take it that way. They thought I was insulting them.)

(Can you believe?! Me, insulting!)

(... I didn't know it would make them mad. I thought they'd think I was being adorable, and, like... give me a lollipop for being such a good girl or something.)

(All this time with the Decepticons, and evidently I haven't learned a thing.)

(When Knock Out heard me say it, he ran to his room, wailing, "Is that all you think I'm good for?!")

(You know that old arcade game, Whac-a-Mole?)

(That's what Breakdown decided to play with me as punishment for making Knock Out cry.)

(Only he used his foot, and I apparently was slower than he expected.)

(I did apologize, and thank Primus I did.)

(I think Doc Knock wouldn't have set my broken leg if he didn't think I was sorry.)

22. Reenacting movies with Knock Out, especially ones like Despicable Me, is not always a good idea.

(I love that movie!)

(So do Knock Out and Breakdown. Knock Out likes Gru and Breakdown likes the girls.)

(I guess it's true when a movie really says "Something for everyone!")

(Knock Out didn't even complain that there was no romance in it, though he did fix that lack by immediately hugging and making out with Breakdown as soon as it was over.)

(Cute for a few seconds? Yes, extremely. For five straight minutes? Not so much.)

(During my next rotation of clinic duty, I was mindlessly shifting through papers when Knock Out suddenly turned away from his computer and exclaimed that according to his records, it was time for my dental checkup.)

(He went - a little too happily - to go get his supplies while Breakdown got me in the chair and prepped my mouth.)

(We both heard a loud drill noise, which scared the frag out of me.)

(I ended up flat in the chair, eyes so wide I'm sure Breakdown thought they were just going to pop out of my head.)

(Finally I looked over at the medical assistant.)

"Breakdown... gulp... I don't think he's a dentist."

(When Knock Out came back, he asked Breakdown to take the laughing gas from him.)

(Thanks to my comment, Breakdown couldn't even do it because he was laughing too hard.)

(Ohh, the irony.)

(A little bit later, while I was trying to recover from the probably unnecessary root canal he'd given me, I got up from my desk. I was in search of something to do, so I could hopefully get my mind off the pain.)

(I walked over and pointed at something on Knock Out's desk.)

"Can I drink this?"

(He gave me a look, but then realized what I was up to, and happily replied.)

"Do you want to explode?"

(I took the reenacting a bit too far when, in my attempt to make him feel the pain he gave me, I kicked him.)

(It's probably a good thing he chases me, though. How else would I be able to stay in shape?)

(About a week later, I had accidentally gone through a ground bridge with him and Breakdown. In the middle of a battle with the Autobots.)

(Knock Out told me to "get out of here" because he didn't need me "screwing things up as usual.")

(After which I found myself being airlifted by a random helicopter that looked sort of like Airachnid's alt mode.)

(Some weird guy had snatched me up, and as I was wrestling with him, I looked down and saw that the Autobots had retreated. To my relief and heart-melting happiness, Doc Knock was running after the helicopter.)

(The weird guy evidently decided that I was of no use at the moment, and dropped me. I managed to grab onto the rope ladder, and screamed for Knock Out to help me.)

(He then custom-quoted probably the sweetest part of Despicable Me.)

"Amity! Jump! I promise, I will catch you - and I will never let you go again!"

(I trusted him, and let go of the rope ladder...)

(... Only to promptly fall on my face, ten feet from where Doc Knock was standing.)

(Dear karma: you're a bitch.)

23. If you value your life, do not compare Knock Out to Grell Sutcliff.

(What?)

(During the boring days of clinic duty - and sometimes on weekends - I like to watch Kuroshitsuji on my iPod.)

(And for some reason I tend to notice similarities between the characters of anything to my giant robot buddies.)

(Megatron: an angrier, meaner Sebastian with a hair trigger temper. And bigger guns.)

(Starscream: a whinier, taller, less girly Ciel. Well... slightly less girly, anyway.)

(Soundwave: A not-quite as talkative Drocell. Because... dolls are creepy, as is Soundwave.)

(Breakdown: A slightly nicer Will with a giant hammer. He kinda tries to keep us all in line.)

(And for some wild-ass reason - cough, with all the reason in the world, cough - Knock Out: Grell. With... with like no changes minus the fact that he's already hooked up and therefore not quite as obsessive.)

(But come on, back me up here!)

(I can't be the only one who sees this.)

(Grell has red hair and red clothes; Knock Out's paint is red.)

(Grell likes to dance; Knock Out likes to gesture.)

(Grell's weapon is a chainsaw; Knock Out's main one is a buzzsaw.)

(Not to mention they're both feminine as all get-out. Grell wants to be referred to as a "she"; Knock Out's hand is on his hip half the time.)

(And let us not forget the old saying: with great power comes great insanity. Grell is clearly mentally unstable; and you can take it from me when I say that Knock Out can be scary as hell when he wants to be.)

(Come on.)

(Villains with a red color scheme, girly mannerisms, effective slasher smiles, and a flair for the dramatic, who are fond of dissecting people?)

(They're long-lost freaking twins.)

(If they switched places, seriously, nothing would change.)

(Well, I mean, people in Victorian London would probably be wondering what Doc Knock is, and Megatron would be wondering how Grell got ahold of his shark teeth. But for the most part, it would be the same.)

(Of course...)

(Don't mention any of that to Doc.)

(He takes so much offense at being compared to a "human" that he broke out the buzzsaw and tried to show me exactly how he is not the same as Grell.)

(He won't listen to me about the fact that Grell is a Reaper, not a human. Apparently if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and tastes like a duck, it's a human.)

(Or a duck.)

(Bleh. Whatever. I lost my analogy.)

(I should probably be thanking him; with all the running I seem to do from him, I think I'm starting to lose some weight.)

(I... still don't want to compare him to Grell again though.)

(Last time I did, he was about an inch away from giving me a nice little haircut with his saw.)

24. Knock Out's syringes are for medical use. They are not toys.

(Well, uh, see, the thing is...)

(Ahhh, screw it. There's really no excuse in the world that could cover exactly how f'ed up I have to be to steal medical equipment.)

(Especially if I'm stealing it from someone like Doc Knock.)

(In my defense, I was trying to learn his craft. By practicing surgery on the headless dolls Starscream got me as a birthday present.)

(Well, they weren't headless when he gave them to me. That's just how I feel about Barbies. And Kens.)

(And Lord help him if he ever tries to give me a Lots-O'-Huggin' bear. I will tear into that thing with a knife, torch it, and toss it off the side of the ship to see if it's still on fire when it lands.)

(He should know those kinds of things aren't appropriate for an 18-year-old of either gender.)

(Anyhoozle, I wanted to see whether I could do as good a job of surgery as Doc Knock does.)

(So of course my test subjects were my dolls. And before I could even think about doing surgery, I had to give them an anesthetic.)

(Don't give me weird looks! Would you want your doctor operating on you without putting you out like a light?)

(No, I didn't think so. So I'm going to have to ask you to SILENCE!... yourself.)

(Unfortunately, while I was able to grab some of Doc Knock's syringes, it turns out they were in that bin for a reason.)

(Apparently so I couldn't get to them.)

(While I was injecting my dolls with the energon inside, it... got all over me as well.)

(Did I neglect to the mention the rather large gashes and cuts all over me from when I jumped out of a helicopter and landed on the ground instead of into Knock Out's waiting arms?)

(Yeah, well, I had to take the bandages off my hands to play surgery with my dolls.)

(And of course my hands got doused in energon. Thanks for not sitting still for your shot, Rock Star Barbie!)

(The last thing I remember after that was getting dizzy, and I think I passed out.)

(When I woke up, I was in Med Bay, hooked up to a bunch of monitors and IVs.)

(...)

(Turns out energon is poisonous to humans.)

(Knock Out called me every name he could think of, gave me the longest speech in the history of ever, and then let Starscream loose on me.)

(I think Starscream seriously considered increasing my pain medication just so he wouldn't have to listen to my excuses.)

(I'm just grateful Breakdown was there to block all the wrenches and shit Doc Knock was throwing.)

(It, uh, may seem odd, but...)

(That's just their way of letting me know they'd care if I died.)

(Still, the list of places in Med Bay where I'm actually allowed is getting smaller and smaller.)

25. Knock Out's energon prod? He can use it on whoever he likes, whenever he likes.

(I can't remember what I messed up in Med Bay, but I must have screwed something up.)

(Because I got punishment by prod.)

(I'm not kidding, Doc Knock chased me around the Med Bay for like three minutes yelling that he was going to brand me with the 'Con symbol.)

(So everyone would know my ass belonged to them or something. Like people don't already know that.)

(But yeah, I couldn't sit down for over an hour after that.)

(So of course, what did I do? Go whining to Starscream as usual.)

(However, he wasn't able to help me this time. He was sick of my "high-pitched shrilling", plus he said Knock Out has free reign over who he prods and when.)

(I couldn't believe that, so I went to Megatron.)

"Are you seriously letting that mad doctor run around shocking people with that stupid prod whenever he wants?!"

(I was really upset, mostly because my backside was still sore.)

(I asked if he wanted to see the scar Knock Out had given me with that thing, but he said he didn't.)

(He also said if I didn't get my little organic aft out of his throne room in the next five seconds, I'd get the prod again.)

(Sigh.)

(It's hard living with the Decepticons sometimes.)

(But the good news, thanks to Knock Out's chasing me with that energon prod, I can finally fit into that dress for the annual, erm, Nemesis Prom.)

(...)

(No, my date isn't Steve!)

(Shut up, it's none of your fragging business!)

Hehehehe. Denial. Who's betting she actually IS going to the "prom" with Steve? C'mon. Steve needs love too. Him and Amity are freaking adorable together, no?

Next chapter is going to be some general rules. You don't have to send suggestions if you don't want to, I have enough for the next... if you want to, by all means, go ahead! But after next chapter will be some "theme" chapters. Like these! But I won't reveal till next chap~

Also, the "weird guy" in the helicopter? We haven't seen the last of him. Any guesses who he is? X'D Or did I make it too obvious? X'D

Welp, I guess that's it for this chapter! Hope you liked.

Thanks for reading! ^^
