Ratchet's Sparkling ? Transformers Prime [Officially Discontinued]

Muffin Maniac (Pt. 2)

June chuckled before going over and shaking the medic gently. "Ratchet?"

Ratchet hummed as he tiredly opened his eyes. "What?"

"It's bakesale day." June said, making Ratchet's eyes snap wide open and sit up, looking incredibly determined. 

"Then let's prepare for war."

June, Ratchet, Comet, Jack, Miko and Raf (after all having showers and driving to the school with Ratchet's alt filled to the brim with muffins) set up their stall in the hall purposely across from Vincent and Veronica's. The bully and his mother glared competitively at Ratchet's team, and the medic glared back with a smug smirk. They had made way more cakes than their rivals.

The bakesale began and buyers flooded in. There were a good many other stalls selling treats but Team Ratchet had the most cakes. And thanks to Ratchet's obsessiveness with detail the decoration was immaculate. Whereas Veronica's looked messy. Distasteful.

"She's nervous. Knows we're going to win." Ratchet said with a smirk, observing the people that went to Veronica's stall and grimaced when tasting what she'd baked. Ratchet chuckled and held Comet in his arms. "We've got this on the bag." Comet giggled and clapped happily. 

Over at the bully's stall, Veronica growled lowly. "We have to find a way to sabotage that strange man, and those kids."

Vince glanced over at Team Ratchet and smirked, having a wicked idea. "Don't worry, mother. I''ll take care of it."

Some time later, Ratchet and June went off to inspect the other stalls, or 'competition' as Ratchet had put it. Miko had gone off ages ago, so Jack, Raf and Comet were left manning the stall. Vince saw them go and grinned, going over. While Jack and Raf served their customers, Vince sneakily switched a batch of their best cakes with burnt ones. He smirked victoriously.

"What ywou dwoing?" A innocent little voice asked the older boy suddenly.

Vince froze and looked down to see Comet staring up at him.

"Thowse our muffwins!" He said, pointing at the tray in his hand.

Vince glared with a cocky chuckle. "Yeah. So what?"

Comet looked upset and made grabby hands for the tray. "Owr mwuffins.."

Vince simply smirked and pushed Comet back roughly, making him fall into a sitting position. "Shut it squirt. Or I'll shut you up myself."

Comet whimpered lowly with tears in his eyes. Vince grinned and turned to leave, but was shoved against the wall by an angered Ratchet by the collar, the medic glaring at him with darkened eyes.

"Touch my son again and I'll snap you in half." He growled defensively, his face right in his. "You got that?!" 

Vince yelped and struggled against Ratchet's grip but for an old 'bot, he was strong. They had managed to catch the attention of the rest of the people in the room, who gasped. Veronica rushed over wide eyed, glaring at Ratchet in shock. "Get off him! I'm calling the cops on you, freak!" 

Ratchet glowered at her, then glanced at the horrified crowd, then finally at Comet. His sparkling had tears streaming down his face, and that angered his Sire. 

So, he picked up a well-frosted muffin, and shoved it right in Veronica's face. "I made that one especially for you."

The entire room gasped, before bursting out laughing. Veronica wiped green frosting from her face with a horrified expression as Ratchet grinned and scooped Comet up, cuddling him comfortingly. Vince didn't dare do anything against Ratchet, shaken from his threat. 

And with a victorious smirk, Ratchet picked up a box of their cakes, and strolled off with his son.

--

All the Autobots, excluding Optimus were waiting to hear how it went when Ratchet's alt pulled up inside the base. Ratchet's holo let Comet's out of the back, and they both transformed, looking rather pleased.

::So? How'd it go?:: Bumblebee asked and cuddled Comet happily.

Ratchet in response grinned smugly. "We beat that awful woman hands down." 

"Nice one." Arcee congratulated, as Comet adorably offered her one of the cakes from the box they'd brought back. She took one carefully, knowing she'd have to eat in holo. Bulk and Bee did the same and Comet looked around for Optimus to give him one too. "Oppy?.."

"Optimus has gone away for a few days." Arcee informed Ratchet. "But the Groundbridge broke due to an... Accident so he's driving there."

At that, Ratchet immediately glared at Bulkhead. "BULKHEAD!"

"I'm sorry!" He yelped back.

Ratchet just sighed. "Where's he going?"

Arcee shrugged. "Some island called 'Griffin Rock'."

Ratchet hummed and glanced down, frowning when he saw Comet was gone.

"Comet?" He called, concerned.

But Comet had managed to catch Optimus just before he left, and decided to hide in his trailer and surprise him with a muffin once they stopped. 

The Prime had no idea that Comet was accompanying him on his trip to Griffin Rock.
