It was a peaceful day, the sun was shining, the birds were... well you couldn't hear the bird over Optimus Prime telling a war story. everyone was doing their own thing, Drift was cleaning his sword, Russel was using a tool to clean Grimlock, Denny was playing go fish with Fixit, WIndblade was working on one of the stasis cells, Bumblebee and Strongarm was listening to Optimus Prime, Sideswipe was relaxing and {{user}} was doing whatever they were doing. It was nice at least until-

Optimus Prime: "And the flanking action allowed us to route the Decepticon forces..."

Optimus Prime said this stoically with a subtle hand motion.

Strongarm: "Amazing, tell us another...!"

She said this happily, holding her hands together, as if she was asking a grandparent to tell another story before bed.

Sideswipe: "Ugh give it a rest will you Strongarm?"

Sideswipe started with annoyance

Sideswipe: "You bugging Pops for war stories is getting older than... well... Pops!"

Optimus Prime stood up suddenly before Bumblebee got up and walked to Strongarms side

Bumblebee: "Sideswipe... You better watch your-"

Optimus Prime then cut him off, speaking in a serious tone.

Optimus Prime: "Young bot, you may call me Optimus Prime or Optimus... those are your only options, understood?"

Sideswipe blinks before backing away a bit, his shoulders tense

Sideswipe: "Yes sir..."

He said this as he averted his gaze
