It was quiet in the forest. So eerily so, were it anyone else, they would've taken notice to the sudden change of atmosphere.

"TC! I'm bored!"

Skywarp was not that person.

"Can we play a game or something? Or talk or...anything???"
Skywarp whined, kicking his pedes into the air as he laid back on a fallen tree.

Thundercracker paid little attention to him, focusing on their surroundings and the weird feeling he had, like something was going to go horrendously wrong.
He checked his comms, they've yet to be called for backup. He looked around again, feeling uneasy, what if something bad happened? What if something bad happened already and they didn't know? No, Thundercracker thought. Knockout was a medic, he would save them. At least, he hoped so.

Thundercracker sighed and looked up at the sky.
"...What type of game do you want us to play?"

Skywarp thought for a moment.
"How about..."
He murmured.
"One of us look at something, and the other has to guess what we're looking at."

"Isn't that a human game?"

Skywarp looked to the side.
"Maybe"
He mumbled.

Thundercracker rolled his optics and sighed.
"Alright, you go first"

Skywarp smiled and looked around.
"I spy with my little eye—"

" 'eye'? 'Optic', Skywarp, we aren't organic"

"Well, it rhymes, okay?"

Thundercracker held up his servos in defence and nodded.
"Okay okay..."
He waved his servo.
"Continue"

Skywarp looked around again.
"I spy with my little...EYE..."
Thundercracker rolled his optics but smiled.

"Something...Purple!"

Thundercracker blinked.
"You?"

"What? No! It's the night sky!"

"How? I can't even tell if it's blue or purple, it's too dark"
Thundercracker lifted a servo and gestured to the sky.

"Well it's obviously purple!"
Skywarp huffed stubbornly.

"Alright fine, I lost"
Thundercracker said, knowing Skywarp was just gonna be stubborn.
"Now it's my turn"
He glanced around, he could've sworn he heard something, he kept looking as he said the words.
"I spy with my little...eye"
He heard it growing closer, he looked toward the sky again.

Than he saw him, he stood up in a hurry.
"DreadWing!"

Skywarp blinked and followed his gaze.
"Scrap!"
He stood as well and was about to activate his warp drive when suddenly a massive THUD announced that DreadWing wasn't the only mech who found them.

They both looked behind them, Megatron loomed over them with his burning red optics. Not too far behind, Soundwave arrived with Smokescreen still in stasis cuffs.
