Aquablast rubbed her hands while sitting in her room, singing to the tune of ‘Deck the Halls.’ It was Christmas Eve, and she was wondering why humans come up with interesting songs.

“’Tis the season to be freezing, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.”

She stopped for a moment, trying to figure out the next verse. “It is cold… and I am freezing? Hm… needs work.”

“What need’s work?” a voice asked. Sideswipe’s head appeared in the doorway, followed by his brother’s.

“Oh, the song I was working on,” Aquablast replied, standing up. She smiled a little, and added, “It isn’t very far. Only the first verse.”

“Well, how about you take a break on it? We need your help,” Sunstreaker said with a grin. Aquablast nodded.

“What do you need help with?”

Sideswipe grinned too, and the twin’s smiles were as large as a jack-o-lantern’s. “Oh, just a Christmas present for the Hatchet.”

“Oh Primus, what have you two done now?”

Ratchet groaned when he entered the med bay. Hadn’t he told the twins that he absolutely did not want a Christmas tree in his med bay? It was standing in the corner of the med bay, with blinking lights and a star and everything. Maybe Aquablast can help me with target practice, Ratchet thought.

He walked over, and instantly began to lift it out of the med bay when he heard a squeak. He stopped lifting the tree, and Ratchet tried to figure out where the sound came from. He moved the tree again. Another muffled squeak.

Ratchet went pale, and set the tree down. He inspected the pine needles. They were finely crafted, but were actually wire rods. He bent down, and looked at the base of the tree. A stand was around it, and he removed it.

Two brown feet were revealed. His blinked a few times, making sure that it was for real. Then, he became angry. Tearing away at the fake pine needles, he finally found what he was looking for.

Aquablast’s face amongst the decorations, gagged with a piece of ribbon. He untied it, and Aquablast turned a bright red.

“Uh… h-hey, Ratchet,” she said with a embarrassed smile. Ratchet quickly removed the rest of the ‘tree,’ and Aquablast looked at her scratched paint job. “I’m never helping them again.”

“Let me guess, the twins?”

Aquablast nodded, and she asked, “If you’re going to shove some wrenches up their tail pipes, can I help?”

Ratchet opened his mouth, and then a small, devious smile appeared. “Actually… I have a better idea. But we’re going to need some help, alright? So ask some friends of yours.”

“Ask them what?”

“Ask them if they want to get even with the twins!”

After about ten minutes, Aquablast managed to find Dropshock and Sunkat. They all sat in the med bay, listening to Ratchet explaining the plan.

“Alright, everyone got it?”

Sunkat and Prowl nodded, Aquablast gave a thumbs-up sign, and Dropshock was grinning. “This is going to be fun.”
****
Dropshock, after sneaking into the twin’s rooms, returned to the med bay after everyone was in recharge. “Got everything you asked for.”

“Good. Aquablast, I want you to take the paint and ribbon,” Ratchet said with a grin. He handed her the bright red ribbon, pink and yellow paint, and a large paint brush. “Remember to put the things back in the twin’s rooms after you’re done, alright?”

“Got it.” Aquablast giggled to herself as she ran off with the paints, a little crazed. Ratchet watched her disappear, and he frowned.

“I hope this doesn’t go to her head. Okay, next thing is the Christmas lights. Dropshock, you’re taking these.”

“Alright,” Dropshock replied, grinning even wider. He ran off after Aquablast, and Ratchet turned back to Sunkat.

“Okay, and you,” he pulled out a box full of Christmas ordainments, “are taking these.”

“What do I do with them?”

“… Be creative. Where would everyone hate to see them most?” Ratchet asked. Sunkat nodded, suddenly understanding.

Ratchet heard her run off, and he grinned. “Now, just to wait.”

The next morning… (Christmas Day)

Optimus woke up from his recharge, sore and wishing he had a few more hours of sleep. But he could hear arguing and fighting from the rec room. He walked out, and behind his face mask his mouth dropped open.

Prowl, Wheeljack, and Ironhide looked like they were ready to beat the tar out of the twins. Prowl was covered in ribbon, his armor blotched with yellow paint. It was the same for Ironhide, except he was pink, and Wheeljack had both colors.

“What’s going on?” Optimus asked. Everyone turned, and the whole crew went pale, especially the twins. Bumblebee, who was covered from head to toe in Christmas lights, ran and got a mirror.

Someone had painted a dress on Optimus Prime, and added ribbon to look like hair and lace.

“… Can we kill them, sir?” Prowl asked.

Just then, Dropshock, Sunkat, and Aquablast entered. Dropshock had ordainments hanging from him, Sunkat was wrapped in Christmas lights, and Aquablast was covered in paint, a few ribbons tied to her helicopter blades. “… What’s going on?”

Prowl went pale at the sight of Sunkat. “Alright, I’m killing you two.”

“IT WASN’T US!” The two protested. Mass confusion ensued, until everyone could hear slow and steady footsteps coming down the hallway. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker struggled to get away from everyone, having a pretty good idea of who it was.

Ratchet looked as if he was ready to kill them. He was covered in lights, had ordainments handing from his helm, and was painted yellow and pink, designed in unicorns and teddy bears. He was menacingly holding a few wrenches.

“Where are they..?” he growled.

The twins began to run.
****
Later that day…

*Optimus? You’d better come take a look at this.*

“What is it, Red Alert?”

*Just come and look.*

Optimus went to the security room, to see some footage displayed on the screen. Red Alert, still having a few ordainments here and there, was staring at the screen.

On the screen, was still images of Aquablast, Dropshock, and Sunkat running around with the vadilisam supplies. Optimus noted that they would all run back into the med bay to get more, not the twin’s rooms.

Behind his faceplate, Optimus smiled. “Delete the footage.”

“What? But it wasn’t—”

“Let the four get away with it this time.”

“But there were only three!”

“Who do you think came up with the idea in the first place?”

Red Alert stared at the screen, and tried to figure out what Optimus was meaning. Optimus smiled again as he walked out of the security room.

*END*
Aw... poor Aquablast!

Tis my Christmas story, when the pranked get to pull a prank on the pranksters.

Apparently, Ratchet's last straw broke. No one dresses up Aquablast as a Christmas tree.
