Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia
"Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, Miko. Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia."
"Raf, how do you do that?" Miko exclaimed.
"I dunno. Once you say it enough, it's easy," he replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"Sphen-uh, spheni-um...spen-what?"
"Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia." Raf said again.
"Miko, Raf, what are you doing?" Optimus asked, walking up to them.
"Trying to say sen-ugh. Spheeno-I give up!" Miko cried, throwing her hands up in the air.
"She's trying to say sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia," Raf said to him, before turning back to Miko.
"Spheno."
"Spheno?"
"Palatine."
"Palatine?"
"Okay, now put it together," Raf instructed.
"Sphen-sphenopalatine. I did it!" She cheered.
"Ganglioneuralgia."
"...ganglion-uh..." Miko bit her lip.
"Gangli," Raf said, shaking his head.
"Gangli."
"Inner."
"Inner."
"Algia."
"Algia."
"You have it, Miko?" Raf sighed.
"I think so. Ganglioneuralgia."
"Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia," Raf said slowly. "Say it."
"Sph-uh...sphenopalatine g-ganglioneuralgia. Wait. I just said that?"
Optimus shook his helm as he watched the two.
"Hey, Optimus! You try!" Miko said excitedly, looking to him.
This got Jack's attention as he turned around to watch. Optimus blinked.
"You want me to say that?"
"Yeah!" Miko said.
"That."
"Very funny, Optimus. Now say those two words that I don't wanna say again," Miko muttered.
"Those two words that I don't wanna say again," Optimus said, the smallest hint of a smile forming on his faceplate.
"Optimuusss..."
"What?" he asked innocently, which made Miko sigh and Jack laugh. Raf smiled.
"Alright, Miko. I'll say it," Optimus said, then looked out in space for a second.
"Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia," he said, before sliding down his battle mask to keep the kids from seeing him smiling.
"How?" Miko exclaimed. "On the first try!"
"He's just that good," Jack smirked next to her, making Miko facepalm. Optimus smiled wider under his mask, before he started laughing, actually laughing, and it became contagious after the kids got over their shock.
After that, Optimus was more serious for the rest of the week than he'd ever been.

...I wanted to update.
Those of you who requested, I promise I'll get back in my writing groove again. You all have been waiting very patiently, and I thank you all very much for it. :)
This was inspired by my other book, Without A Word. One of the commenters, StormtheAutobot, gave me this idea when she asked if Prime could even say that. Here's your answer! :)
Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. That's worse than supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
And I wanted Prime to laugh. :3
Hope you enjoyed.
