"It seems to me that it would grow rather monotonous. Around and around and around, confined to the roads and the same track. No, flying is much better. There are no roads, no confines, you go where you wish when you wish." Starscream looked smug.

"That's professional racing. And anyway, the competition and the crashes make it a bit more interesting. All the same, though, why do you think I drag race?"Bumblebee grinned.

"Heh, I suppose I see your point. We all need to get our kicks somehow, don't we?" Starscream ran a finger over the baby oil again and grimmaced. "I've got to get this muck off. It's driving me crazy."

"Then go do it."Bumblebee rolled his optics. "No one's stopping you." And my show's on soon, too, he thought.

Starscream nodded, "Yes. And I best get some more rest." He smirked, "I'd hate to disappoint my adoring fans. Goodbye Bumbleblee." He waved and went back into his house and straight for the washrack. Blasted baby oil. It got everywhere.

"Smug, vain Seeker..."Bumblebee muttered, rolling his optics and turning away, returning to his own home. He headed upstairs and turned on the TV, plopping onto his berth to watch.

Things were quiet in the neighborhood once again. And maybe it was too quiet, because silence in the neighborhood normally meant something bad was going down. Not that it was intended - it was never Wheeljack's intention to blow something up and make the entire neighborhood's power go out and get himself in the blast... Uh, oops? 'Jack was suddenly looking at a piece of the ceiling that had been above his head a few moments before, not on it. And there were other parts of his destroyed back yard lab that were poking in maybe too many painful places. It wasn't unusual, but slag... and his commline was down. Double slag.

Red Alert had been jarred from his dreams of conspiracies when the blast happened. Instantly he ran outside, brandishing his weapon and shouting incoherently about Decepticons attacking.
~*~*~*~
Starscream had been in the washracks for ages doing his best to rid his frame of the oil. Yes, that was what he was doing. He had to be through, didn't he? He probed inside his cockpit a bit more. Stupid baby oil...
At the blast, he jumped and not really thinking, rushed outside, dripping wet, to see what had happened.

Bumblebee had been dying to see this episode since the commercials for it. The mech had been lying on his front, scooted all the way to the foot of the berth, staring at the screen eagerly. He had *known* that it was a bad idea for them to let that Ursaring out, but of course the stupid people hadn't *listened* to Ash, and now the kid was cornered by the Pokemon! His optics wide, Bumblebee waited with figurative bated breath to see how this one would turn out - and the screen blacked out, a second after an explosion sounded. Bumblebee yelped and scrambled off the berth, racing outside. "'JACK! Your fragging explosion cut me off in the middle of my SHOW!"he snapped.

There was a muffled snicker from beneath the pile of rubble that was covering Wheeljack. The inventor could still hear Red Alert screaming about Decepticons. "Yea, okay Bee, just YouTube it. Look around near the door of my workshop - if the door's still there. There should be something you can shoot at Red to calm him down, and do so, please. He's making my head hurt."

Bee rolled his optics and grumbled under his breath, "S'not the full effect," before he went over to the general area he knew the door had been in before it had been demolished by the explosion. "Primus, that was some explosion, 'Jack,"he commented, pulling an amazingly-intact dart from the debris. "Is the thing you want me to shoot at him a gray and white dart, or do I drop this thing now and run?"

The chuckle that came out next was a little weaker than the last. "Yea, that's the thing. Maybe I should color-code stuff, huh? I have a lot of grey and white stuff. But yes, shoot him with it, throw it at him if you think you can hit him. And hurry. He gets louder with each passing moment."

Red was still shouting about the Decepticons. A passenger jet passing overhead made him fire wildly into the sky.

"Bumblebee, he's gonna end up hurting humans if you don't hurry up!"

Bee turned, loaded the dart into his cannon, which was carefully set on low power, and shot it at Red, aiming for the neck.

Red slapped a hand to his neck and pulled out the dart. "Ouch! Frag... You....." Optics blinked, went dark and the poor paranoid Red fell to the ground.

"Take it the sound of a body crashing to the ground was Red Alert?" Wheeljack questioned from the pile of rubble, sounding much too cheery to be in his position.

"Yeah, it was. 'Jack, what'd you blow up to make this big an explosion?"Bumblebee was already opening his commline to call Ratchet.

"Good! Now I know the first one works!" The Lancia occupied himself with trying to move the larger piece of the once-ceiling that had him pinned down. "Well, I was working on those darts you just used..."

"Oh...WHAT?! THOSE THINGS EXPLODE AND YOU WANTED ME TO USE ONE ON RED?!"Bumblebee spun to face the direction of Wheeljack's voice. "Did that explosion knock some circuits loose or something??"
