"Wee-ooo, wee-ooo," Frenzy said as he, Rumble, and Ravage waited outside the Cadillac 5. It was a very obvious sign that he was bored. But Rumble and Ravage, though it was annoying them, said nothing. The Autobots who had passed through the last time they had gone to the movies were back and waiting with them. It was quite apparent that it was irritating them as well and, if it was bugging them, it was worth putting up with.

"Could you cut that out?" Brawn griped.

Frenzy stopped, looked at him and promptly said, "No. Why would I want to?"

Rumble bit a chuckle back at that. His younger brother was now taking cues from Autumn. He just hoped Frenzy wouldn't get into trouble for it.

"Why you little . . ." Brawn started just as Carly said, "She's here."

Everyone looked but did not see Autumn's black Ranger. They saw her but she was behind the wheel of a silver Ranger. And she was turning in to the public parking lot across the street. Curious, Rumble and Frenzy walked over to her quickly as she parked and climbed out.

"Like my new toy?" she grinned.

"New toy?" Frenzy echoed.

"Well, it's new to me," Autumn said.

"It's an extended cab!"

"Yep," she agreed cheerfully. "More room for all of us. No more squishing together!"

They chuckled at that. Autumn locked the doors and they joined the Autobots on the other side of the street.

"What do you want to see this time?" Carly asked as they walked inside.

"Three of them. The Core, Chicago, and Dreamcatcher."

"Three of them?" Glyph questioned. "Why not just go on different days during the week?"

"Because I'm on spring break and I don't want to drive into Cadillac like I have been since January. It's a pain driving into town seven days a week. Not to mention a drain on my gas. My mileage is different now that I have a different truck."

"She has a point," Carly chimed in. "Her truck isn't exactly fuel efficient."

"It'll be better once I get those sandbags out," Autumn said fervently. "And I can't until I can. That's 240 pounds less to carry."

Once inside the theater, the manager and clerk, after hearing what movies they wanted to see, tried to come up with a line up to help them out. It was settled on Chicago, Dreamcatcher, and The Core. Since Chicago was starting within a few moments, Autumn got her drink and popcorn as well as a box of Butterfingers and a large nacho. They went inside and sat down, Spike and Carly on one side next to Autumn and Rumble and Frenzy on the other. The lights dimmed and Chicago began.

The movie was set during the 1930s, when jazz was king and vaudeville was big. In the center of the glam and desperately wanting to be a part of it was mousy Roxie Hart, portrayed by Renee' Zelweger. Little Roxie wanted to be like her idol, Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones), who had been arrested for shooting her husband and her sister. Five to ten minutes into the movie Roxie herself was being arrested for shooting her lover. Her only hope was in a high-priced lawyer named Billy Flynn (Gere). The entire movie was filled with music, dancing, and outright hilarity. Kelly and Hart were found innocent of their crimes, though they were guilty, and joined forces in the end to get what they wanted. Autumn and Frenzy were still chuckling about the movie as they walked out of the auditorium.

"I can see the Dinobots singing and dancing to that one," Autumn commented with a grin. "Especially with Mr. Cellophane."

Rumble, Frenzy and Ravage, who was in his cassette mode, chuckled at that, as did Spike and Carly. The rest of them just groaned and shook their heads.

"There was too much singing and dancing," Brawn griped. "Not enough action."

Autumn and Carly just gave each other a knowing look and grinned.

"It's based off of a Broadway musical," Autumn said.

"What do you expect?" Carly asked.

"It was funny," Autumn added. "I liked it."

"So did I," Carly echoed.

"It was okay," Frenzy shrugged. That comment earned him a playful swat from Autumn and just grinned.

"We've never seen a musical before," Rumble added.

"We'll have to watch my favourite one," Autumn said. "If I can ever find the tape that it's on."

"Which one is that?" Carly inquired.

"Annie," she replied. "But the one with Carol Burnett and Tim Curry. Forget that lousy Disney remake. I won't even watch that one. I know they've tamed it down."

"Tamed it down?" Frenzy gave her a questioning look.

"In Annie, Mrs. Hannegan is a drunk," Autumn explained. "It goes with the time period, which is the mid to late 1930s. Chances are, Disney did away with Mrs. Hannegan being a drunk and that was the fun part of Annie!"

Frenzy just shook his head, saying nothing.

"That's really neither here nor there," Rumble interjected. "We're talking about Chicago, not Annie."

"And we'll be talking about Dreamcatcher soon. Right now, I'm thinking about some food. I'll be right back."

With that, Autumn left the three Decepticons in the theater and walked across the street. Carly was right behind her. Intent on staying out of trouble and conversation with the Autobots, Rumble and Frenzy went to the crane machine to wait.
