*Christmas music playing in background*

Sideswipe: the prankster meeting is now in session. So, who should we target this month?

Sunstreaker: why am I here.

Sides: sorry, I'm only answering questions when someone raises their servo.

Sunny: *grumbles and reluctantly raises servo* why am I here.

Sides: because you're my bro and you should support me in my endeavors.

Sunny: let me rephrase that. Why am I the only one here.

Sides: ....Miko couldn't make it today.

Sunny: so you dragged me over here instead of having your meeting later?

Sides: .....yeah, pretty much!

Sunny: -_-   I hate you.

Sides: I love you too bro! Now, who's the target?

Time skip, brought to you by sugar cookies.

Miko: *holds up movies* alright! Which one are we watching first?

Jack: I don't know, what one's did you bring.

Miko: let's see. I have Rudolf the red nosed reindeer, frosty the snowman, a Christmas Carol, elf, a Christmas story-

Jack: not that last one.

Miko: why not?

Jack: just, no. Okay?

Raf: we could watch a Christmas Carol.

Miko: sure!

Ratchet: oh for the love of Cybertron. We don't have time to watch children's movies. We have work to do! It's a waste of valuable time.

Miko: We're totally watching a Christmas Carol. *Glares at Ratchet* if only so everyone can understand what I mean when I say Ratchet is being a scrooge.

Sides: What does that mean?

Miko: My point exactly!

Ratchet: *rolls optics* hm.

After the movie

Jack: so... What did you all think?

Ratchet: bah humbug.

Miko: so you were paying attention to the movie!

Ratchet: whatever. *walks away*

Sunny: he really is a scrooge.

Sides: you're not much better bro.

Sunny: shut up.

Bee: I thought ghosts we're a Halloween thing.

Raf: usually they are, but sometimes they get used for other things.

Smokey: like that time we found one in the forest!

Bee: the one you all were screaming about and I ran over?

Smokey: hey! I was not screaming!

Arcee: then what were you doing?

Smokey: I was- well, I wasn't screaming!

Bulkhead: ..right. so what next?

Miko: *grins* well, there's something I want to show you all! Follow me!

Sides: *grins*

Time skip brought to you by Christmas songs!

Jazz: you wanted to show us an empty room?

Miko: no! It's in the room! Everyone in!

Everyone: *goes into the room*

Wheeljack: wait, why aren't you and the twins coming in.

Sunstreaker: just because I refused to help doesn't mean I'm going to fall victim.

Jack: wait what?!

*door closes and locks*

Smokey: it's a trap!

Arcee: no duh, genius.

Smokey: *sticks tongue out*

Arcee: *rolls optics*

Miko: *over the speakers* welcome everyone! To the first annual Christmas music marathon! I'm your host, Miko!

Sides: *also over speaker* and I'm you co-host Sideswipe!

Bluestreak: what do you mean "Christmas music marathon?"

Sides: we're gonna play all sorts of Christmas songs over and over and over and over and over and over again!

Jack: oh, joy.

Miko: that's the spirit, jackrabbit! Now! For the first song!

*all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth plays over the speakers*

Jack: Miko.

Miko: yeah?

Jack: your dead to me.

Miko: I'll live.

Jack: and I'm not getting you a Christmas present.

Miko: *gasp* shoot! I didn't think of that! Oh well, already to late.

Time skip to five hours later with Ratchet.

Optimus and Prowl: *walk into the room*

Optimus: Ratchet. Have you seen any of the others?

Ratchet: no, why? *suddenly stops work* it's never this quiet, something's wrong.

Prowl: it took you five hours to realize it was this quiet?

Ratchet: well I was to busy enjoying it to question!

And now to the others.

Wheeljack: *banging his helm against the wall* make. It. Stop.

Bee: this is horrible, I think everyone's losing it.

Bluestreak: everyone except jazz, look!

Jazz: *sitting with his legs crossed against the wall*

Blue: is he asleep?

Bee: I can't tell.

Jazz: *has his internal speaker turned on and is listening to his own music*

Blue: he's been like that for hours...

*music stops abruptly*

Smokey: thank primus!

Sides: *over the speaker* hey! What are you doing!

Prowl: *also over the speaker* that's enough of that.

Miko: but-

Optimus: Miko, Sideswipe, that is enough.

Sides: aww.

Prowl: I expect both of you in my office in ten minutes.

*door to the room opens*

*everyone except jazz runs out of the room quickly*

Jazz: *stands up calmly, stretches, and walks out* that was great.

*everyone stares at him like he's crazy*

Jazz: *grins and walks away*

Time skip to that night. Brought to you by Christmas trees!

Sides: *sneaking around the hallways* *speaks into his com* this is Santa to elf, I've located the target.

Sunny: *over the com* don't call me that, i don't care, and let me sleep. The only reason I'm talking to you is because you won't leave me alone, Sideswipe.

Sides: code names, bro! You'll blow my cover!

Sunny: I am not calling you that.

Sides: elf, do it.

Sunny: no, heck no.

Sides: do it.

Sunny: no.

Sides: do it!

Sunny: fine...Santa.

Sides: see? That wasn't so hard.

Sunny: I think part of me died inside.

Sides: what, like you're disagreeable nature?

Sunny: no, more like the only part of me that ever loved you and considered you family.

Sides: ;-; that hurt sunny!

Sunny: what happened to, "you'll blow my cover?" And don't call me that!

Sides: whatever, anyway I'm here. *Opens door quietly* if I don't make it back tell the world my story.

Sunny: what is there to tell? That you died because of some idiotic decisions?

Sides: it's how I lived, bro, it's how I lived.

Time skip to the next morning, brought to you by popcorn.

Everyone: going about their normal business.

Optimus: *walks into the room* where is sideswipe?

Ultra Magnus: *reading a data pad* I think he's picking the kids up, sir, why- *looks up* Holy Primus. What happened?

Optimus: *is painted with red and white stripes* I believe that you already know the answer to that question.

Magnus: *nods* right.

Bluestreak: prime? What happened to you?!

Optimus: *sighs* sideswipe.

Bee: oh.

Sides: *pulls into the base and let's the kids out*

Miko:*runs up to optimus* Oh my gosh, sides! You did do it!

Sides: heck yeah I did! *transforms*

Prowl: my office, now, Sideswipe.

Sides: *laughs* whatever happens it was still totally worth it.

Optimus: Sideswipe.

Sideswipe: yes, peppermint prime?

Optimus: I think you need to- ....what did you call me?

Sideswipe: peppermint prime, ya know. Cuz you look like a candy cane?

Optimus: ....

Sides: .....

Everyone: ....

Optimus: I'm going to go to the wash racks.

Sides: see ya later candy cane!

Prowl: *whacks the side of side's helm* move, now.

Sides: still worth it.
