Like, seriously?! Who doesn't like water/water-balloon fights?! XD

No one? Just me? .... Okay, I'll let myself out now.... lol

The early morning sun shone through the lazy clouds and settled onto the base, warming it up. Chromia had woken up when she felt the warmth of the sun on the roof and the cold breeze blowing through the hanger. She left the medical room and strolled down to the hanger doors. The doors were open allowing the cool morning breeze to glide menacingly through the hanger. Walking closer, she spotted Epps sitting on the ground watching the snow fall gracefully onto the quiet and empty tarmac. The look on his face was so full of loss and regret that Chromia decided to sit beside him.

"Hey, Epps. You alright?" Epps didn't reply, so she took that as a no, "Look, Epps...I know you're worried to death about Kairi, but she'll be fine." Epps looked up at the only female Autobot, aside from Kara, with disbelief and surprise written all over his face.

"Can you read my mind or something?" Epps joked, trying to change the subject.

"No, but you know that she will be at the Peri Temple with her team, and hopefully with any Autobot survivors. But on the happier note, I think she sent you something for Christmas." Chromia had secretly gone to the large room that had all the presents and had counted everything and she knew how many everyone was going to get. She had not opened the presents, but she had scanned them. Chromia had got into the habit of scanning anything and everything new, checking for anything that would be dangerous. One time she found a kilo bag of poisoned applies. Let's just say that the person, who poisoned the food, regretted it. Big time.

"And how do you know? Or do you have x-ray vision now?" Epps raised an eye brow.

"I took a guess..." Chromia lied. "Anyway, I believe it's time to open up presents, don't you think?" Chromia smile devilishly. Epps grinned from ear to ear.

"Yep, let's go wake everyone up. Thank you for talking to me, even though we didn't talk for that long." Epps exclaimed, walking towards his room. Epps crept past his sleeping comrades and grabbed the blow horns from their hiding place under his over sized pillow. He exited the room quietly and looked at Chromia, who had followed him.

"Likes do this thing." Chromia smiled, taking one of the blow horns and with that, away they went, to every room. Loudly blowing the horns and shouting at the tops of their lungs. Within 2 minutes, a large number of the soldiers on base and a couple of the Autobots, even the President himself, were following Epps and Chromia, yelling at the top of their lungs and blowing the extra blow horns that were handed out, in peoples ears. Soon, they had everyone awake and chasing after them angrily. Out of the usual number of personal on base, only 20 odd (Not including Obama and his men) soldiers were on base, another 7 were cooks and cleaners.

The crowed of humans and bots, behind Chromia and Epps, stopped when they realized that they were all outside Optimus's and Kara's rooms.

"Don't do it! You'll get us killed!" Lennox hissed. He knew that Prime didn't like being woken up early in the morning after a long night. Lennox was pretty sure that Optimus didn't get to sleep until after 3 in the morning.

"Umm... what happens when he gets woken up like this?" Obama asked, a little nervous, but excited to see what would happen next.

"Well, Kara and I went to go hit Ratchet with two over sized monkey wrenches, right, but got Prime in the face and knee, and he wasn't a very happy bot. He even through a wrench at Kara and it hit her square in the back and he then locked her in her room, after Ratchet fixed her up." Chance exclaimed. Obama looked at Ratchet dumbfounded, who nodded his head.

"Yes, I'm afraid that did happen and Kara wasn't able to move for a couple of days after that. But Chance is lucky that Prime didn't throw one at him or he would have gone...squish." Ratchet shock his head, then realized that Epps and Chromia were not with the group and the door to Prime and Kara's rooms was open. "Oh scrap!"

-

Chromia crept up behind Kara and looked at Epps, who was behind Prime.

"Five...Four...Three...Two...One, Wake up!!" Chromia and Epps yelled at the top of their lungs and set off the blow horns.

Kara screamed and fell out of bed. Chromia quickly grabbed Epps before Prime could land on top of him as Prime jolted awake, falling to the ground. Prime looked at Kara, than at Chromia and Epps, who were both sprinting out of the room laughing their heads off. Prime got up and ran after them, with Kara hot on his heels.

"Run!! Run like all hell broke loose!!" Epps laughed shouted. Nobody need to be told twice, they had already started to run when the spotted Epps and Chromia running out of the door.

"Quickly! In here!" Epps yelled, pushing people towards the rec hanger, of which had all the presents put to the far end and had crates and barrels full of water. Everyone filed in. Ironhide stayed at the door and aimed his cannons.

"What are you doing?" Ratchet hissed, "Are you going to shoot them or something."

"No, I'm going to shoot them with the water balloons in my cannons. So they can cool off." Exclaimed Ironhide, grinning from ear to ear.

Ratchet looked around and saw that everyone else had some sought of devise that would fire water balloons. Chromia ducked behind the crates that Ratchet was behind.

"Here, put these to good use." Chromia exclaimed handing Ratchet a large bucket overflowing with water balloons. Ratchet was about to say something, but then he heard Prime and Kara stomping angrily towards the room.

"They're here! Everyone ready?!" Lennox asked. He was on the yellow team.

"Blue team! Ready!" Chromia shouted on the left side of the room with people wearing blue face paint or blue clothes.

"Red Team is ready!!" Basra called from the right side, as he put red paint on his body and face, same as the humans and bots on his team.

"Yellows are ready!!" Obama exclaimed from in the middle of the room, yellow face paint all over his face and on his clothes. His guards were also wearing yellow face paint too and they didn't look as uptight as when they first got to the base, though they still carried actual guns on their hips and would looking around the large space for anything that could pose a threat. Everyone in the room aimed their weapons (Of which were full of water balloons) and waited for the all clear to fire. Ironhide quickly placed two large barrels, full of water balloons, around the corner, so Prime could have a go at firing. It took Ratchet just a little bit longer to get the whole situation wrapped around his head. Everyone had planned for this morning's event and they had left him out of the loop!! He wasn't to impressed.

-

Prime looked at the barrels that stood close to the door of the rec hanger. He was a little confused as to why two barrels of balloons sat outside the hanger, but merely shrugged it out of his processor and walked into the open door.

"FIRE!!!" Lennox, Chromia, Basra, Obama and Ironhide yelled at the top of their lungs. Prime and Kara were hit from all sides by water balloons. Kara quickly realized why the barrels where beside the door and ducked for cover.

"Dad! The barrels!" Kara exclaimed. Kara quickly got to her feet and grabbed some of the water balloons.

"Load my gun!" Optimus ran over to Kara, changing the settings on his weapon. Kara quickly stuffed her father's gun full of the small water balloons. Prime wiped around the corner and fired the first couple of rounds at the Yellow team. Optimus was okay with firing water at the humans; it meant that he didn't have to worry about accidentally killing them. Obama was hit a couple of times. He wasn't very good at ducking, but he would get better. When Prime wasn't asking for a reload, Kara would grab a couple of balloons and throw them at anyone that decided that they wanted to creep up on Prime when he wasn't looking their way.

Kara tried many a time to hit Bumblebee, but he was too fast! One second he'd be with the red team, and the next you know he was with the blue or the yellow team. He just wouldn't stay still! He seemed to be the only one that wasn't being hit. Optimus also seemed to be trying to hit Bumblebee, as he would growl when the balloon didn't hit what he aimed at. An idea popped into Kara's processor.

"STOP!!" Everyone in the hanger paused mid fire and looked at her. "Gang up on Bumblebee!!" Kara yelled. Everyone stopped and looked at Bumblebee, who was in fact the only one that wasn't dripping wet. Bee looked at Kara.

"Hold up there little lacy!" Bee's radio stated in a western voice, "You wouldn't hit an old man, would you?" An old man's voice came through the radio. Bee even grabbed a large tree trunk that was on the ground and pretended to be an old man, he even wobbled his knees. That was it, the room exploded with laughter. Bee quickly hid behind a large stack of crates at the back of the room and started firing at people while they laughed.

"I'm a one man army! WHOOO!!!!" Bee exclaimed. Lennox, Epps and Obama all ran to Prime and Kara.

"Prime! Your turn big fella! Go kick his ass!" Grinned a very drenched Obama.

Optimus nodded his head and held his gun out to Kara so she could reload it, while the others kept Bee busy. Kara didn't just load her father's gun, she over stuffed it, so there was like twice the amount of water balloons than the last couple of times. Giving her father the thumbs up, he then took off towards Bee. Prime charged across the hanger, dodging ever single water balloon that Bumblebee shot at him. Optimus was about 10 meters away from Bumblebee when he jumped onto a nearby thick metal crate and shoot up into the air and grabbed hold of one of the girders that supported the roof, monkey bared his way closer to Bumblebee, while Ratchet distracted Bee with rapid fire.

Prime curled up his legs and swung himself forward, towards the crates that Bee was hiding behind. Prime twisted, took aid mid-air and fired everything he had at Bumblebee. Bee didn't have a chance to move or protect himself from the string of water balloons coming from Optimus's over loaded gun. Prime landed behind Bee and held his gun to Bee's face.

"Do you give in?" Prime asked, a challenge in his voice. Bumblebee held up his hands, eyes wide. He hadn't seen Optimus do that for a long time. Prime smiled and shot Bee in the face with the last balloon. Bee jumped in surprise and shock, before he fell backwards onto the mount of crates behind him. Optimus nodded to himself, put his gun on his shoulder and put his foot onto Bumblebee's mid-section.

"I have defeated this wee bug and I declare yellow team the winner!" Optimus exclaimed, a grin pulling at his face plates. The yellow team erupted into cheers of victory, and the other teams clapped good-heartedly. Prime held his pose for some of the soldiers who pulled out cameras and phones, so they could take a photo. Lennox was about to take a photo, when a large over sized water-balloon-thing came hurling overhead, hitting Prime square in the face. Lennox looked back and saw that Obama, Kara, Chromia and Ironhide, all stood around a large catapult like contraption, laughing. Lennox looked back and saw Prime pulling at the bits of balloon on his face.

Bumblebee seeing this as a good time to get away, got up and ran to a nearby water barrel. He picked it up and walked all the way back to Prime, who was still trying as hard as he could to get rid of the remains of balloon stuck to his face. Prime had half his face clear, when Bee dumped the barrel of water onto him. Prime ripped off the rest of balloon and grabbed Bumblebee before he could get away. Bee beeped in protest, trying to find a way to loosen Prime's grip. Lifting Bee up higher, Optimus put Bee over his shoulders, his back cables, wires and hydraulics clenched and readjusted to take on the additional weight. Prime jumped a little to readjust Bumblebee into a more comfortable position.

"Ratchet!" Prime called to his best friend.

"Yeah?!" Ratchet answered, jogging over to Prime, Kara following hot on his heels.

"The decontamination, is it functional?"

"Yes...Why do you ask, Optimus?" Ratchet asked, a questioning look on his face plates. Kara looked at her best friend, as he dangled over her Dad's shoulders.

"I think your screwed Bee." She stated matter of factually.

"Yeah! – You think?" Bee exclaimed, struggling to get out of Prime's iron grip. Optimus nodded his head, before he headed for the hanger doors. Causally strolling down the tarmac, Prime headed towards the roaring ocean that wasn't too far from the large runway. The ocean slapped and mocked the snow as it tried to freeze the oceans wild untamed nature. Optimus stopped short from the ocean and dropped Bee to the ground. Bee scrabbled out of Primes reach, but he edged closer when Optimus didn't try to get him.

"You are improving, Bee." Prime clasped his hands behind his back and looked out over the roaring ocean as it turned and churned wildly. "You are a very skilled scout and I'm happy that you are with the Autobots. I could never want another scout, because he would not be as skilled as you. You managed to stay dry for the longest, which is extraordinary." Prime turned and clasped a hand on Bee's shoulder. Bee's spark swelled with pride for himself and for his leader.
