Chapter Text
[Scavenger was really happy, because Swindle proposed him a date, when they were doing the second weird game of Vortex. But in fact, Scavenger didn't know when it was, or where... Oh, he was really stupid! Scavenger spun around the room, before seeing Scrapper enter]
Scrapper: Are you okay?
Scavenger: Oh? Yes! Yes! Everything is fine!
Scrapper: ...?
[Scavenger didn't want to tell Scrapper that Swindle had given him a date, because if there was one thing Scavenger knew very well, it was that Scrapper hated Swindle. Although he couldn't understand why, Swindle was the most gorgeous and awesome mech in the world]
Scrapper: Well, you're very dynamic.
Scavenger, embarrassed: Oh uh... Too much?
Scrapper: No, no! If something makes you happy, I'm happy about it.
[Scavenger wonders then, if Scrapper would accept the information better, if he said what currently makes him happy]
Scavenger: Even though what makes me happy is the date I'm going to have with Swindle?
Scrapper: ...
Scavenger: ...
*Long silence*
Scavenger, disturbed: Uh... Scrapper?
Scrapper: Hmm? Oh! Too bad about your date, we're busy this day.
Scavenger: II didn't even say when it was.
Scrapper: Whatever, we're busy all month ahead! Too bad!
Scavenger: *Sad*
Scrapper: ...Don't be sad Scav, the unexpected happens. You want to do something? Tell me what you want to do.
Scavenger, sadly: I want to see Swindle...
Scrapper: ...Other than that.
Scavenger: Stay in my room...
*Scavenger sadly drags himself to his room, before closing the door, very quietly, while giving Scrapper a dejected look, then closing the door*
Scrapper: ...
[Later, in Hook's medical bay]
Scrapper: Hook? Am I a horrible person?
*Hook turns questioningly to Scrapper*
Hook: ...I don’t know, you're a Decepticon, that should answer your question.
Scrapper: I'm serious, Hook.
Hook, adamant: If you're a horrible person, then we might as well destroy the universe, and start all over again.
Scrapper, rolling optics and smiling: You know what to say to comfort.
Hook, falsely displeased: Comfort? You insult me.
Scrapper: Ha! Ha!
Hook: Okay, what's bothering you?
Scrapper: ...I... I don't want Scavenger to become the sparkmate of Swindle.
Hook: That's not being mean, it's helping someone unconscious.
Scrapper: But Scavenger really likes Swindle... Much to my dismay...
Hook: Well, that doesn't change what I said. You're helping a total oblivious... I mean, Swindle clearly wants to rip off Scavenger.
Scrapper, grimly: He wants to completely rip her off. This little glitch can't even realize what a lovely person Scavenger is, he's so obsessed with greed!
Hook: ...
Scrapper: ...
Hook: Wow! You can get mad?!
[However, in the Combaticons district]
Swindle: Guess who gets to date Scavenger?! Me! *Claps hands together, happily* Aaah! I can't wait!
Vortex: When will your date be?
Swindle: Simple, I'm coming to Scavenger.
Blast Off: You didn't give him a schedule?
Swindle: For what? We all live in the same ship.
Vortex: It makes me laugh so much, because before you wanted to scam him, and now you've been scam!
Swindle: Shut up! Me at least it has a chance to succeed, not like you with Hook! Who clearly hates you!
Vortex: You’re wrong, he loves me!
Blast Off: Define the word "love"...
Vortex: Gnyah! Gnyah! I'm less weird than Brawl, which squarely embraces an Insecticon. And not just any! Nope! The one who can do mind control!
Brawl, getting angry: Why it’s weird?!
Blast Off: Please, Brawl! Isn't it obvious?! An Insecticon, a mind controller. Two totally alarming things that should make you not even approach him!
Brawl: Why the fact that he's an Insecticon is a problem?!
Swindle: Did you hear the part, "mind controller"?
Vortex: Shrapnel and Kickback are cool, but Bombshell...
Blast Off: Yeah...Megatron was stupid letting him do the ship's psychologist. This is the best way to allow him to manipulate everyone.
Brawl: He would never do that!
Swindle: How can you be so sure? We don't know anything about them!
Blast Off: We can't trust them, but you insist on doing it.
Vortex, mocking: I know why! It's because Brawl is in love!!!
Brawl, blushing with anger: N-NO! IT'S- IT'S NOT TRUE!!!
Swindle: Ha! Ha! Nooo! Seriously?! It’s really weird! But okay!
Blast Off: Wow! Really stupid! Didn't you think he was manipulating you, not even needing his Capacity?! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Brawl: Stop! It's not true!!!
Vortex: Brawl is dumber than the idiot we said he was!
*Brawl puts his hands on his audio receivers*
Brawl: Shut up! Shut up! I hate you!!!
*Brawl runs away from the Combaticon district*
Vortex, still mocking: Oh nooo! Don't go Brawl!!! Come on! Ha! Ha! Come back!
Swindle: Ha! Ha! Ha!
Blast Off: What an idiot!
Swindle: Well, after this good laugh! I will go see Scavenger!
Vortex: Ha! Ha! Good luck, scammed scammer!
*Swindle sticks out his tongue before leaving*
Vortex: ... *Turns to Blast Off*
Blast Off: ...What?
Vortex: Which of the two do you want us to follow?
