Rating: PG-13 for one swear word
Word Count: 427
Characters: Sideswipe predominately
Summary: Post-movie. You either get it or you don’t.

Any Autobot would tell you that the word ‘twins’ equals trouble. Not just trouble but the kind that either ends in a fistfight (and much cursing from Ratchet) or a prank everyone knows they did but can’t get the evidence to prove it (with slightly less cursing from Ratchet and more glowering from Prowl).

When it really came down to it, though, most Autobots preferred Sunstreaker’s brand of trouble to Sideswipe’s. With Sunstreaker all you had to do was stay out of his way and don’t even vent your circulator on his paint. Sideswipe pranked anyone and everyone (with the direct exception of Prime though even he had unintentionally been a victim on a few occasions). To make matters worse, ever since coming to earth Sideswipe’s pranks have become all the odder and his words less comprehensible. Sam warned them that picking up everything from the internet could be dangerous. No one believed him until Sideswipe landed.

It started off with random comments like “angry Ratchet is angry,” or “Blitzwing had us pinned and Bluestreak got scared, said your moving with your Auntie and Uncle in Bel-Air.”

Everyone boggled and Sunstreaker said don’t even bothering asking him because he had no fragging clue.

Then it start spilling into battles with Sideswipe jumping Starscream, pounding on the Decepticon’s canopy shouting something about the balls being fucking inert. Then came the random, obscenely long cat and bad-grammar phrases etched anywhere and everywhere.

(Bumblebee asked Sam during a drive if he knew why Sideswipe kept calling him pedobear. Sam spat soda all over his interior.)

He spent a lot of his free time on the internet, cackling and getting ever weirder each time. Whenever anyone asked what he was up to Sideswipe would say something vague about checking up on his ‘eye’.

Everyone figured it was best to just leave the red twin on his own. Until Sunstreaker came in from patrol one day and found his brother looking too proud of himself for it to be safe. He knew he was going to regret it but asked, “What did you do?”

“Me? Nothing, really. Just pointed the way is all. Maybe did a little rabble-rousing.”

“…what?”

They were interrupted by an excited Bluestreak. “Didja hear?” He asked, door panels high, “the Decepticon’s main computer was hacked and crashed!”

Sunstreaker was speechless. Sideswipe’s grin grew and his brother turned on him. “What did you do?”

“Like I said- nothing really.” His grin threatened to eat half his face. “But it’s amazing what a huge mass of humans are capable of.”
