"William what is this?" Ironhide ask as his holoform entered the house with Optimus' and Ratchet's holoforms following behind. Bumblebee and Sam were sitting on the couch, which was pushed out of the way.

"setting up my new Oculus Rift." Will said. Ironhide's holoform immediately disappeared quickly then reappeared beside Will, catching the man as the ladder fell out from beneath him.

"try not to break your neck." Ironhide teased. Will huffed slightly and dusted himself off.

"thanks." he mumbles.

"whats an Oculus Rift?" Ratchet ask.

"it's Virtual Reality headset." Sam said. "it's a game." Sam smiled. he explained happily while Will set up the game, with Ironhide's eye's on him. he stepped back and smiled.

"there! done." Will smiled. "Sam thought it would be fun to show Bumblebee VR. you can do it too!" Will grinned. Ironhide gave him dirty look.

"I'm not playing your stupid game." Ironhide huffed, rolling his eye's.

"don't be a kill joy." Will huffed. he picked up the headset and controllers.

"what are you playing Will?" Sam ask.

"anything I want." Will chuckled. "thanks to Bee." he grinned. Bumblebee grinned at him, ignoring the dirty looks from Optimus and Ratchet.

"you going to play a horror game?" Sam ask.

"maybe." Will said, looking through the games.

"whats that?" Ironhide ask. Will paused.

"Phasmophobia." Will mumbled, clicking on the game. "some sort of ghost hunting game." Will shrugged.

"oh! Ironhide you should play with him! we have a second headset!" Sam grinned.

"no." Ironhide huffed.

"I'll play." Bumblebee said, getting up. he grabbed the headset, letting Sam show him how to put it on.

"you hold these and click the buttons on them to pick things up in game." Sam explained. Bumblebee nodded.

"any idea what we do Sam?" Will ask curiously.

"pick a place, ready up, grab the stuff from the shelf and the game will walk you through the rest." Sam explained. Will nodded slightly and walked around some. "hold up the radio and repeat the name from the white board." Sam said. Will nodded slightly, picking the radio off his belt and turning it on.

"Lisa White." Will said looking around. "nothing detected." Will said.

"well you have to find what room she's in first." Sam said.

"here! let me try." Bumblebee said. Will nodded.

"why can't I pass this to you?" Wil grumbled trying to hand him the radio.

"you have to drop it first for some reason." Sam shrugged. Will huffed and dropped the radio on the floor. Bumblebee picked it up, walking around the room in game.

"Lisa White? are you in the room?" Bumblebee said. he shuffled into the next room. "Lisa? Lisa White? hello?" Bumblebee ask. the blonde suddenly stiffened and tossed the radio at Will. "no way! no! no! no!" Bumblebee cried.

"Bumblebee?" Ratchet ask worriedly.

"something whispered death in my ear! it was creepy!" Bumblebee cried. Sam chuckled softly.

"it's part of the game Bee." Sam said.

"what the fuck is that? what the fuck is that? WHAT IS THAT!?" Will shouted. "WHAT IS THAT!? WHAT IS THAT!?" Will shouted backing away. Bumblebee screamed and took his headset off as he was murdered. he panted heavily. "fuck no I'm getting the fuck out of here!" Will said his character running from the building. he took the headset off and sighed.

"I am never ever doing that again." Bumblebee said, running over to Sam and hugging him tightly. Sam hugged him gently.

"it's okay Bumblebee." Sam murmured gently.

"it's a video game. relax scout." Ratchet mumbled. Will chuckled.

"come here Ratchet, I got an idea." Will said. Ratchet stood up and paused.

"you're not putting me in that game." Ratchet said.

"oh no, you're playing a different game." Will assured. Ratchet let him put the headset on and put him into a game.

"where am I?" Ratchet grumbled.

"an elevator." Will said. "just push the plank button." Will said. Ratchet shrugged and pushed the button. he stumbled slightly. "oh yeah you'll get used to that." Will chuckled. as the elevator stopped and the doors open the medic paused.

"and just what the hell do you think I'm doing?" Ratchet ask.

"walk out on the plank." Will said.

"thats it?" Ratchet huffed. he shrugged and headed out for the plank. he felt a sense of uneasiness come over him as he got to it. "oh. I see. Wheeljack would like this. it plays on the brains ability to not be able to tell whats real and whats not." Ratchet said. he stepped out on the plank and wobbled. "very convincing." Ratchet mumbled.

"whats wrong Ratchet?" Ironhide chuckled.

"its actually pretty cool, but there's absolutely no way on Cybertron I'm stepping onto that plank." Ratchet said. Ironhide started laughing.

"just step onto the plank." Will said. Ratchet shook his head.

"absolutely not." Ratchet said. "not happening." Ratchet said firmly.

"just step out onto the plank Ratchet." Will chuckled. Ratchet huffed and inched out onto the plank.

"there I'm on the plank." Ratchet mumbled.

"your goal is to grab that cake." Will said.

"of course it is. humans are weird creatures." Ratchet grumbled inching towards the cake.

"now just pick it up." Will said. "you're doing better than Sam! he crawled to the end of the plank." Will chuckled. Ratchet grumbled and crouched down and grabbed the cake.

"of course I come all the way out here for a slice of cake." Ratchet hissed. "I've got the cake now what?" Ratchet huffed.

"just walk back." Will said. Ratchet paused.

"I have not only dropped the slice I had but I've also knocked the cake off the plank." Ratchet muttered.

"your loss." Will shrugged.

"yeah, such a loss." Ratchet said sarcastically. Will laughed and looked at Ironhide. the man was unimpressed and Will winked at him, making a shoving gesture. Ironhide shrugged and stood walking quietly over to Ratchet, he gave the man a shove. "slag! thats not funny!" Ratchet said landing on his ass. he yelped looking down. "I splattered on the ground!" Ratch hissed getting up. he took the headset off, glaring at Ironhide. "you splattered me on the ground!" Ratchet hissed. Ironhide laughed at him.

"and you were scared!" Ironhide laughed. he went back over to sit beside Will, who snickered.

"alright tough guy, you want to play?" Will ask.

"I already to you I'm not putting that on." Ironhide huffed.

"I'll try." Optimus shrugged, getting up.

"what do we let him play Sam?" Will ask looking at him. Sam paused.

"it'd be funny to see him play Job Simulator, in the slushie shop." Sam said. Will nods slightly and sets the game up. he handed the set to Optimus and watched him put it on.

"this game literally talks you through it." Will smiled. Optimus nodded slightly and played the game.

"this isn't bad." Optimus said.

"well it's not a horror game." Will shrugged.

"hey! I got a scary game." Bumblebee pouted.

"you volunteered for a scary game." Will corrected. Bumblebee pouted at him and Sam chuckled slightly, playing with the holoforms hair happily.

"its okay Bee. Will said we could come over and play the games whenever we like." Sam chuckled. "we'll come play a game thats not scary." Sam murmured. Bumblebee cuddled him and nodded a little. Ironhide rolled his eye's watching his leader play the game. he wasn't finding this amusing, though Ratchet and Bumblebee's reactions had been pretty funny. Will sat beside him and smiled slightly, patting the holoforms legs. Ironhide huffed slightly, propping his legs up onto the table, arms spread over the back of the couch. Ratchet and Optimus tensed.

"Prime we need to go." Ratchet said.

"I know." Optimus said quickly, taking the headset off and setting it down carefully. he and Ratchet took off immediately. Will looked confused.

"Hide whats happening?" Will ask. Ironhide shrugged.

"some sort of emergency at the base. Prime said he didn't need me or Bumblebee." Ironhide said.

"okay, wanna play the game?" Will ask.

"no it looks dumb." Ironhide huffed. Sam chuckled.

"hey Will, let him play Duck Season." Sam said.

"oh yeah! he'd love that." Will said, getting up an changing the game.

"I don't want to play." Ironhide huffed.

"you'll like this game. you're shooting guns at ducks." Will said. Ironhide perked up some, eye brow raised. Will smiled at him and held the headset out to him. "come on Hide, I know you want to check it out." Will smiled. Ironhide huffed slightly but got up. he let Will help him with the headset and controllers.

"now what?" Ironhide grumbled.

"the game will show you how to play." Will assured. Ironhide grumbled and went through the game.

"this game is stupid. I can't get the shot gun shells." Ironhide hissed.

"yeah that part of the game is a little bugged, just keep trying." Will assured. Ironhide huffed and reached again for the bullets.

"stupid thing." he mumbled as he finally got the shot gun loaded.

"you can change it in the settings to auto reload." Sam said. Ironhide grumbled and fired at the ducks, shrugged slightly. it wasn't that shitty of a game, he just wanted to complain because he didn't want to play in the first place. Will smiled watching him play.

"good idea Sam. I never even thought about this game." Will smiled. Sam smiled at him.

"why is that stupid dog dancing? Ironhide ask.

"he's just part of the game." Will said. "just shoot the ducks." Will added.

"the aim in this game is awful." Ironhide mumbled, adjusting himself to hit the ducks. he was doing pretty good, only missing two ducks as he adjusted to the game. he was already entering round two and seemed to actually be enjoying the game. "so this is the whole game?" Ironhide ask starting round three.

"pretty much." Will said.

"you're lying to me." Ironhide huffed.

"you scanned me!" Will ask. Ironhide huffed in amusement, then paused.

"why is there a commercial on the tv? that dog is odd." Ironhide muttered.

"its a commercial for the game inside the game." Will said. Ironhide grumbled and started level two.

"that dog is pissing me off." Ironhide huffed.

"shoot him." Will shrugged.

"I fragging will." Ironhide hissed, emptying his shot gun into the dog. "it just keeps coming back!" he hissed.

"he's part of the game. just reload and start already Ironhide." Will chuckled. Ironhide grumbled but started the level. he stopped right before starting the third level and took the headset off.

"okay I'm bored." Ironhide grumbled. Will laughed.

"you two can go a head and play." Will smiled at Sam and Bumblebee. Bumblebee and Sam got up and immediately started up a game. "Jazz would enjoy Beat Saber." Will murmured. he doubted Bumblebee and Sam could hear him over his laughing. Ironhide seemed to be looking the game up.

"he would." Ironhide mumbled after a few minutes. Will smiled at him and leaned against his side.

"don't be a party pooper. I know you enjoyed the game. you don't have to be an asshole all the time." Will mumbled.

"if I wasn't how would you know I cared?" Ironhide ask, holding him. Will smiled slightly and chuckled, patting his leg gently.

"you're right. I'd never know you really cared if you weren't an asshole." Will murmured. Ironhide huffed an affectionate chuckle, turning his attention back to the two playing in the living room. he'd play the game more later and maybe even a game with Will if he could convince him to play the ghost game again.
