Transformers Prime: Nahko

School Projects

Nahko's POV

So our project for science are due tomorrow. I already completed mine, a model rocket. I haven't tested it though and can only pray it works. But the other three haven't completed their projects yet. Raf is doing a volcano, Jack is building a motorbike and I am helping Miko finish painting the solar system. Our guardians are helping us. While Ratchet and Optimus are in another room discussing something.

Jack had been building the motorbike for a while. In fact it was gonna be his when he finished. But then Arcee became his guardian. Raf had been studying volcanoes for weeks and has been trying to build one with more power then the paper mache ones we'd make in school. Miko couldn't decide what she wanted to do for ages. Until she heard I was making a model rocket and decided to make a model of the solar system. She has eight planets, she had forgotten Pluto. Though many people forget Pluto.

Suddenly Raf's volcano blew up, making a lot of smoke. Optimus and Ratchet run into the room thinking we're under attack. "It's no attack, Ratchet. It's my volcano. Or was" Raf says sheepishly as his volcano deflates.

"Hold still, Bulkhead. Jupiter needs its red spot" Miko tells him. He is holding the model up for her. She stretches to put the dot on, only to have paint drip onto the tarp I had laid out. "Whoopsie" she says.

"That's why I had you put the tarp down Miko" I tell her.

"What in the all spark is going on in here?" Ratchet asks.

"Our projects are due tomorrow" Jack tells him sheepishly.

"And unlike these three I finished mine" I add. Miko glares at me playfully. "Don't even think about it Miko, if you get paint everywhere you are cleaning it up. Without help" I tell her. She rolls her eyes and focuses back on her project.

"Maybe it needs one of these doohickeys" Arcee tells Jack holding up an exhaust pipe.

"You're a motorcycle, Arcee. Shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?" he asks her confused.

"You're a human, Jack. Can you build me a small intestine?" she asks him. I chuckle.

"Good one, Arcee" I tell her.

"Well, you can't work on these projects in here. You're... Making a mess" Ratchet states.

"No their not" I tell him. "Besides if they do, we'll clean it up" I assure him.

"But the science fair's a big part of our grade" Raf adds.

"Yeah, if Bulkhead doesn't help me finish this model of our solar system. I'm scrapped" Miko tells Ratchet.

"And what does bulkhead know of your solar system, or Bumblebee of your volcanos, or..." Ratchet starts to ask.

"Arcee of our motorcyles?" Jack finishes.

"Precisely, we're not earthlings. And they're not scientists" Ratchet states.

"We're not scientists either Ratchet, we're students and the science fair is supposed to be fun. A chance for us to show teachers what we've learnt" I tell him.

"Besides the autobots are their guardians, Ratchet. Would it hurt to learn more of Earth by helping our young friends with their schoolwork?" Optimus asks him.

"Well, maybe our young friends should try learning more of Cybertron" Ratchet tells him.

"Raf and I want to learn about Cybertron" I tell him. "I said from the beginning I wanted to learn all about your planet, history and culture" I remind him.

"I would like to learn your language" Raf adds.

"Hey Raf, let me help you remake the volcano. Besides Miko is nearly done" I state. He gives me a grateful smile and we get to work on building a new volcano.
