A dare from Fire_AssassinXx

I dare OP and Ratchet to race against each other >:3

~

Author: *straight up busts out laughing*

Smokes: *snickering*

Bulk: *trying to hide his snickers*

WJ: *doesn't care how loud he's laughing*

OP: *stunned*

Ratchet: *also a bit stunned* Why on EARTH would we need to accomplish something like that?!

Author: *between laughs* So that.. the readers.. can enjoy it, LOL!!

OP: *still surprised* We have to.. race?

Bulk: *snickers again* Seems more like Smokes or Bee's thing.

Bee: *nods*

Ratchet: *flustered* I'm an emergency vehicle, not a sportscar! I'm not meant for thrill rides!

Taylor: *giggles* I'm sure you'll do just fine, hun! You don't have to win, the dare says you just have to race!

Ratchet: *groans*

Smokes: Were would they race without drawing too much attention?

Bulk: Yeah, Fowler sure wouldn't be happy to learn that two of the most controlled bots on the team went out for a joy ride.

Bee: <A race, Bulkhead.>

Miko: *raises hand excitedly* How about around the base? It's pretty large anyway.

Raf: *nods* Yeah! Optimus and Ratchet could race around the outside of the base, say, ten times? I think that would be enough.

Ratchet: That would be plenty, thank you very much.

Author: Alright, then, let's go!

OP: *reluctantly follows*

Ratchet: *defeated* Primus...

*outside the base*

Miko: *holding a flag* AAAAAAAND GO!!

OP & Ratchet: *nyoom*

Raf: *holding his glasses to keep them from getting blown away* WOAH!

Jack: And imagine if they were Smokes or Bee..

Smokes and Bee: *grin*

*first lap*

OP & Ratchet: *zoom*

Smokes: Optimus is in the lead, of course!

Bulk: But Ratchet's not really far behind.

*second lap*

OP & Ratchet: *vroom*

Bee: <Optimus is still in the lead!>

WJ: Ratchet's gainin tho.

Smokes: What, he's actually trying?!

*third lap*

OP & Ratchet: *nroom*

Bulk: Optimus really can go fast.

Taylor: *worriedly* Ratchet's starting to lag behind*

*fourth lap* 

OP & Ratchet: *nyyyyyrrooom*

Bee: <Optimus is getting father ahead.>

WJ: He's not slowing down at all.

Raf: Ratchet on the other hand...

*final lap*

OP & Ratchet: *racing noises, etc*

Smokes: Optimus is waaaaaay in the lead.

Taylor: Ratchet's still pretty far behind.. I think he's just barely staying on the same lap as Optimus..

*a few minutes later*

OP: *screeches to a finish*

Smokes: Way to go Optimus!

Taylor: *looks for Ratchet*

Ratchet: *finally makes it*

OP: *transforms* Are you alright, old friend?

Ratchet: *transforms and doubles over* Primus... frag... it.. *gasping*

Taylor: *jumps to her feet* You are not  okay!!

Ratchet: *gasping* I told you.. I wasn't built for racing.. that was too much.. even for me.

OP: *concerned*

Ratchet: I think my... ventilation systems are.. burning out...

OP: Let's get back inside. You should get some rest.

Taylor: I'm so sorry! If I had known this would happen I wouldn't have encouraged you to do it! *teary eyed*

Author: Yeah, honestly I feel kinda bad too, now.

Ratchet: *waves servo dismissively* A dare's a... dare.. at least it's over now. *takes one big vent*

Author: Welp, that's it for that. Thanks for the dare, even though it tired out poor Docbot. I'm sure he'll be fine tho, now worries! Until next time!
