The Reprimand

*Fast heavy pedesteps approach as two Dinobots run through a door. The two princesses, Bluebell and Primrose, are riding the chariots.*

Primrose: haha!

Bluebell: Faster, you beasts! You run like mules! *She looked at the walls etched with paintings before she looks ahead.*

Primrose: hey, Bluebell! How'd you like your face carved on a wall?

Bluebell: someday, yes!

Primrose: How about now? *She groaned as she pushes Bluebell's chariot into the wall. The tire screeches and scratches against the wall.*

Bluebell: *grunts and yells as she regains control of her chariot. She looks at Primrose.* You almost killed me!

Primrose: oh, come on. Where's your sense of fun?

Bluebell: oh, it's fun you want? *She yanks the reigns back, causing her Dinobots to try and ram into Primrose's Dinobots. Primrose quickly pulls the reigns and the Dinobots back as they roar and their claws skid against the floor. Bluebell runs ahead of Primrose and her Dinobots skid down a slope.*

Bluebell: *laughs then yells* whoa! Aah! *The Dinobots skid to a halt. She looks around.* Primrose?

Primrose: whoa! *Her chariot leaps over Bluebell who ducks as Primrose's Dinobots run ahead and Bluebell is quick to follow.*

*The two sisters run through the town, knocking over someone's game. Bluebell is ahead of Primrose and her chariot is above hers.*

Bluebell: Come on, Prim. Admit it! You've always looked up to me!

Primrose: yes, but it's not much of a view! *she laughs as the Dinobots run. Bluebell's chariot falls down in front of her but Primrose manages to pull back her reigns as Bluebell runs ahead of her.*

Bluebell: second born, second place!

Primrose: not for long!

*The two sisters race up the wooden stairs. Primrose quickly yanks the reigns back and the Dinobots roar as they quickly turn the corner and Primrose's chariot rams into the railing. Her Dinobots quickly yank her up and forward as they start running again. They unintentionally knock over a ladder that someone is standing on and when the ladder falls, so does the painter who mistakenly draws a line over the statue. The rest of the construction slowly falls down and breaks the nose which begins falling through the stairs as Primrose and Bluebell run.*

*The nose falls towards Primrose who quickly yells for the Dinobots to jump and once they do, they land beside Bluebell's Dinobots and the two sisters quickly pull back the reigns to keep them from falling. Their Dinobots screech to a halt.*

*Primrose and Bluebell looked at each other, panting before they start to laugh... until they hear rumbling. Sand starts pouring and the two sisters look at each other. They yell in surprise as they ride their chariots down the huge sand-slide, knocking down Starscream, Shockwave and their entourage.*

*Cheering and laughing, Bluebell and Primrose ride the sand-wave through another hallway before they make it out and begin riding their chariots back to home.*

Bluebell: You don't think we'll get in trouble for this, do you?

Primrose: No, not a chance.

*The scene changes to the Pharaoh holding a striped gold and blue crook.*

Pharaoh: why do the gods torment me... with such reckless, destructive, blasphemous daughters?

Bluebell: Father, hear what I-

Pharaoh: *turns to her and Primrose* be still! Pharaoh speaks. I seek to build an empire, and your only thought is to amuse yourselves by tearing it down! Have I taught you nothing?

Shockwave: you mustn't be so hard on yourself, your Majesty. You're an excellent teacher.

Starscream: it's not your fault your daughters learned nothing.

Shockwave: well, they learned blasphemy.

Starscream: true. *He and Shockwave leave.*

Primrose: Father, the fault is mine. I goaded Bluebell on, and so I am responsible.

Pharaoh: Hmm. Responsible. Do you know the meaning of that word, Bluebell?

Bluebell: I understand, Father.

Pharaoh: And do you understand the task for which your birth has destined you? The ancient traditions. When I pass into the next world, then you will be the morning and evening star.

Bluebell: One damaged temple does not destroy centuries of tradition.

Pharaoh: But one weak link can break the chain of a mighty dynasty!

*Bluebell looked down. The queen placed a servo on the pharaoh's shoulder, making him look at her then he looked at Bluebell before he sighed.*

Pharaoh: You have my leave to go. *turns away.*

Bluebell: Father.

*The queen lifts her servo to stop her. After a moment, Bluebell turns and storms out of the room.*

*Primrose watched her sadly before she turned to the Pharaoh and took a deep breath.* Father? You know it was really my fault. Must you be so hard on her?

Pharaoh: Primrose, you will never have to carry a burden like the crown I will pass to Bluebell. She must not allow herself to be led astray, not even by you, my dear.

Primrose: all she cares about is... is your approval. I know she will live up to your expectations. She only needs the opportunity.

Pharaoh: Maybe. Maybe so. Go now. I shall see you both tonight.

*Primrose nodded and with a small bow, she walked away.*
