Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
The changing world hadn't done much to impact Rumble, aside from Sweetie Belle constantly giggling whenever he was nearby. Flying was cool, sure, but it didn't get homework done and Coach Will did not approve of flight, whether it was in gym class or at track meets.
As such, he was checking MyStable when his phone rang. He answered the call without even looking away from his monitor. "Hello?"
"What did you do!?"
Rumble blinked and checked the caller ID. It just showed a number, and the voice has been too angry to make out. "Who is this?"
"Sweetie Belle. What did you do?"
"Uh..." Rumble looked around. "Liked an image of some statue Chipcutter posted on—"
"Not that! Whatever you did that threw off my entire shipping grid! Or maybe you didn't do it yet, and now you have to or I'm going to get the worst migraine and..." Sweetie gave a sound that was half-groan, half-shout, then hung up.
Rumble just stared at his phone. It lit up with another call from another self-proclaimed "Crusader." He gulped and connected. "Hey, Scoota—"
"What did you do!?"
"Uh, talked to Sweetie Belle."
"That little—" Scootaloo cut off her own near-growl. "Okay, whatever she said, ignore it. It's not true, it didn't happen, I said nothing."
"What?" said Rumble.
"Never you mind!"
Rumble's hackles rose at the venom in Scootaloo's voice. "She just yelled at me for no reason!"
"Then why am I mad at you!?"
"How should I know!?"
"Fine!"
"Fine!" Rumble hung up and found himself floating a few inches above the floor, huffing and puffing with each breath, the back of his neck tingling and a faint crackling sounding from his wingbow.
Thunderlane opened his bedroom door. "Heard you all the way from the kitchen, little bro. Everything okay?"
After a few deep breaths, Rumble said, "I have no idea."
Thunderlane nodded. "Sounds like someone had his first fight with his girlfriend."
Confusion helped cool Rumble's adrenaline rush. He landed and said, "I don't have a girlfriend."
"Sure you don't," said Thunderlane, rolling his eyes for some reason. "Well, I suppose now's about the time you gotta start worrying about that time of the month. They cover that in health class yet?"
The back of Rumble's neck prickled again, but this time he was sure anger wasn't doing it. "Could we not talk about this? Ever?"
Thunderlane leaned down, ruffled his hair, gave a wide smile, and said "No."
Apple Bloom gave a low whistle as she saw Rumble trudge into homeroom. Bags hung under the boy's eyes, while his hair was more messed up than Twilight Sparkle's after the more explosion-prone sort of experiment. "The heck did you do last night?"
His gaze transfixed her, his pupils nearly pinpricks. "I. Don't. Know."
It's not easy being the human analogue of the episode's antagonist. Especially not when your she's-not-my-girlfriend is privy to all personally important current events.

I suppose this will make more sense once I catch up on season 7

I doubt it. But it's still hilarious

It actually will; it's inspired by yesterday's episode.
Why'd they have to name him after one of Soundwave's Minicons? I keep hearing the phrase "weak-ass mix tape" whenever they refer to him by name thanks to Seth Green.
Heh.
Life ain't easy when your girlfrind is one of the Norns.
I believe that Roseluck summed up Rumble's experience in the best possible way:
"The horror...! The horror...!"
FWIW, Rumble, as he finally turned out to be, wasn't that different at the end of Marks and Recration from the way I've seen him portrayed in lots of fanons.
Only the title's a Transformers reference but not the chapter itself... Darn. Still funny, BTW
Kinda reminds me of this
