The Unity Of Two

20: Oops

"Now what?" I asked.

"Didn't they pull a lever?" Primus asked.

"Oh yea!" I looked around.

"Where would you be without me?" Primus grumbled.

"Eating worlds."

"Uncreated." I muttered and pulled down the lever, the ground bridge opened, then violently fuzzed out of life. "Um..."

"Maybe you did something wrong?" Primus suggested.

"Yea, just maybe."

I looked at the monitor and tried again. It fuzzed out again, steam coming out this time. "That's not good..." I paused, waiting for something to happen.

"Odd." Unicron said after a while, "I thought it was going to explode."

"Guess not." Primus muttered. "Maybe the power supply is low." The ground bridge fizzed again, and a tiny pop catapulted some plating off. "There's your explosion." He snickered.

"I think, best to abandon this thing."

"Yup, Ratchet will have a nice surprise." Unicron giggled, "Anyway..." He started, as if trying to remember.

"Oh, it's not so hard, we revised for my sake!" Primus was flustered.

"Yea, yea." He said, getting even quieter, "Sorry for being so insensitive." He muttered.

"Was that an apology?" I asked, his ego was really going places.

"Yes." He pouted, "Although you could just walk it off." He snapped.

"We didn't revise that." Primus stated.

"Fine I'll walk it off." I huffed and went for a stroll. A painful one, full of agony. "Ow." I complained. trying to guilt trip someone who can't be guilt tripped. "Ow."

"Ah ha" Unicron muttered. "Wanna hear a joke?"

"Sure." Primus said and I shut up.

"'I'm sorry' and 'my bad' mean the same thing... Unless you are at a funeral."

"This is from firsthand experience, isn't it?" Primus muttered.

"Of course it is! I'm original." He said smugly.

"Oh, I got one." Primus said, "Some Earth humor. You guys know what an exorcism is, right?"

"Yea." Unicron and I said as I continued to wobble down the halls.

"Do you know what a reversed exorcism is?" Primus said, we stayed silent, "It's when the Devil tells the Priest to get out of the kid."

I didn't get it.

"Humans are dark." Unicron started giggling. "But I'm still going to kill them when I have the chance." Unicron laughed.

I stopped, Optimus came out of nowhere, we had a stare off.

"I regret knowing you." Primus said.

I froze, "Oh shit."

"Language." Primus warned.

Optimus seemed to be utterly shocked, "What?"

"Ahh..."

"Was that Optimus?" Unicron asked, Primus let out a squeak of shock.

"Who was that?" Optimus asked.

"You hearing voices?" I asked.

"It came from your chassis." He stuck out a digit, faceplate unreadable.

"Oh yea..."

"Think of a lie fast!"

"That's carrier." I blurted out as I slouched a bit.

"Fragging idiot." Unicron muttered, "I'm so ashamed. You might as well be forward now." Unicron muttered.

"Yup." Primus said meekly.

Optimus recoiled slightly and I hesitantly took him out.

"That's energon-" Optimus started, confused.

"Yea, but it's my carrier." I told him.

"Hi." Primus said awkwardly, the crystal flashed as he spoke.

"Your carrier is a talking energon crystal?" Optimus asked in shock, perhaps seeking conformation. "No. Bumblebee spiked my drink again."

"Again?" I asked.

"Start of the war." Optimus shock his helm.

"Cool, but this is real." I nodded.
