Title: Matter of Perspective (Chapter 4 - The Perfect Prank)
Author: sideswipe_tf
Verse: G1
Rating: PG
Characters: Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe
Warnings: none



A/N: I thought I would challenge myself and try to tell a story about Ratchet and the twins through a series of drabbles. Each character has one drabble per chapter (three drabbles per chapter) and each chapter focuses on a specific idea or event. I am also sticking with the interpretation of exactly 100 words per drabble. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

(I do not own Transformers.)

Sunstreaker:

Sunstreaker generally did not like helping his brother with pranks. However, when he told Sideswipe he had seen the medic smile, he knew he would be helping with "the perfect prank." They had to wait for the right circumstances. Now Sideswipe stood guard while Sunstreaker quickly but neatly painted. As he worked he had to admit this was a fantastic idea. He wasn't too happy about having to do his task in the medbay but it was the only way this particular prank would work. Once done, he subspaced his paints and brushes and hid in the corner to watch.

Ratchet:

Ratchet stepped out of his office to check on Prowl and Jazz. The two officers had been seriously damaged in the latest battle against the Decepticons. He walked between the two medberths thinking about upcoming repairs to them. Suddenly he stopped and reset his optics. He slowly backed up and looked at his patients. After a few moments of shock, a smile formed on his lip components. The silence of the medbay was then broken by a chuckle which quickly turned into hysterical laughter. "Sunstreaker! Sideswipe! Get out here!" He had to tell them it was the best prank ever.

Sideswipe:

Sideswipe watched as Ratchet exited his office and walked over to the recharging forms of Prowl and Jazz. He was perfectly still as the medic stopped and then took a closer look at the officers. He gave a small gasp at seeing the smile that crossed Ratchet's faceplates. He shivered at the sound of laughter. He had never seen nor heard anything so beautiful. He was thrilled to hear the medic praise him and his brother for the prank. Sunstreaker may have done the actual work but it was Sideswipe's idea to reverse the colors on the black and whites.
