Override whips around the last corner, spinning as she turns in an attempt to maintain speed. But what is this? Blockage at the finish line? But Override really is very agile as a car, and she's not yet so overcharged (especially not now, towards the end of this race) that this is no longer true. With a screech, she swerves to the side, shouting, "Transform!" just before she reaches the finish line. She lands on her side, feet first, and continues to shriek forward as metal slides against metal.
She finishes, still laying on her side, and props her head up with her arm, grinning up at the others from her casual position on the floor.
"Hey, boss!" she greets Sentinel cheerfully.

"Oh, pooh, who cares if someone comes by? We're on our own time," Elita says with no small amount of exasperation, "Really Optimus, you were always a bit stuffy, but now- eep!"
She jumps and spins around as Sentinel launches into his tirade, not quite able to keep the guilty look off her face. The guilt is swiftly replaced by anger, however, because the only reason Sentinel is having a fit at them is because he's jealous.
At least, that's how she sees it.
"Oooo, go stuff it up your tailpipe Sentinel! We're off duty and on our own time and not under your purview at the moment. And we don't have PDA violation rules here, because these Autobots understand that maintaining normal, healthy relationships is important!"

Ooookay, Mirage is going to ignore the little love triangle explosion over there. That? That is very much not something he wants to be involved in.
So, rather than answer Sentinel, Mirage waves the flag with an emphatic flourish as Override makes her rather showy pass over the finish line. That should answer Sentinel's question well enough.
"My my, but you do know how to finish in style don't you, my dear?" he says, smirking, "Excellent racing, really excellent."

Optimus Prime's first reaction when Sentinel shows up is to start guiltily. His second reaction is to attempt to yank on the other Prime's shoulder to get him out of the hall. Given Sentinel's luck, he'd probably get run over by Override, and then get run over by everyone else once he dusted himself off.
Now he's in the rather awkward position of partially agreeing with both Sentinel Prime and Elita-1. He doesn't approve of the PDA, but he thinks Sentinel is overreacting. "I take it the race is over, then?" he asks rhetorically, at a loss for anything useful to say.

Sentinel Prime about jumps halfway up the wall when Override slides down next to him. He doesn't even have time to enjoy that handsome tableau before Elita-1 has to go be little Miss Righteous at him. Then Optimus grabs him by the shoulder and drags him out of the way... two jets!? Sentinel Prime promptly ducks behind Optimus and hides behind his big, manly fire truck for a moment, still a-quiver from the scare of a sudden race car and even more sudden jets, plus Elita-1's tirade.
Then Sentinel Prime straightens out and steps back out, glaring. He rants at Elita-1, "You see there, Mirage, with the flag? Mirage has five boyfriends and two girlfriends," Sentinel Prime may just be making these numbers up, "but you never see him necking in public. Because he's invisible," which is creepy if Sentinel Prime thinks about it, that Mirage could be snogging anywhere, anytime, in front of everyone, and they'd never know, "But even more because Mirage understands the value of being classy and professional. That's something you'll understand when you grow-up."
"So you numbnodes were... racing?" Sentinel Prime looks both angry and confused. He understands why Mirage has the flag now, but how Optimus and Elita-1 committing PDA fits into a race, he does not quite know. Is this some kind of bizarre relay race with kissing instead of batons? "Do you have any idea what kind of horrible example you're setting for..." then he slaps the heel of his hand to his forehead as he realises just who those jets are, "...Jetfire!"
He sobers, and he asks very seriously, "Okay. Whose idea was this?"

Jetfire screeches to a halt and transforms as he reaches the group, landing lightly on his feet. He's saved from pouting over his loss by Sentinel's appearance, immediately snapping to attention and looking sheepish.
"Sentinel Prime, sir! We were just... making the training... of maneuvering in close fourths?"
Totally practical and not just about having silly fun!

After Override's flashy finish, can Skyblast do less?
He pulls up in a hammerhead stall, falls a meter or two, transforms, tucks into a ball, somersaults down, and lands on one foot, in an Arabesque. Cheeky as ever, he asks, "The party or the race?"

"The race was my idea!" Override says brightly, rolling back and then leaping to her feet. She sets her left hand on her hip, putting her weight on that leg, her other leg bent lightly as a result.
"I can't take credit for the party, just for improving it."

"We were not racing. We were snogging," Elita-1 corrects. Admittedly, she and Optimus hadn't really been snogging, mainly because Optimus was being a big old stick in the mud. However, Elita-1 is slightly drunk off the really nice energon she's been drinking entirely too quickly.
Speaking of her drink, she decides to finish downing it so that she has both hands free. Free for what, she isn't sure. Yet.
"And Mirage can turn invisible", she repeats, "He could have a full on orgy in the hallways if he could keep it quiet enough. Bad example, Sentinel. You're slipping," she almost giggles.
Elita tries to slip an arm around Optimus. Partially to poke Sentinel. Partially, because she could use the prop to stay steady.

Mirage does not have three boyfriends and two girlfriends! He has one boyfriend and one sort-of-girlfriend, and a few prospects that he enjoys flirting with. Of course, he now has a date with Override on his calendar, which could change any of those standings- or none of them.
"Let me assure you both," the spy drawls as he shoots Elita and Sentinel an arch look, "that I would never be so crass as to engage in invisible intimacies in so public a place."
That said, Mirage reaches out to Skyblast and pulls the tiny jet up and into a very passionate, very hot embrace and kiss. The kiss done, Mirage smirks.
"After all, what's the point of having an audience if they can't properly appreciate the spectacle?"
OOC: Snogging Skyblast with permission, natch.

Optimus resists the overpowering urge to facepalm. Here he was, trying to keep things in check with a soft touch, and Sentinel has to come in with a sledgehammer.
He lets Elita-1 put an arm around him, though he uses his own arm to keep it above the waistline. "Things are getting pretty heated here. Why don't we take a quick drive, Elita?"
//She's a little overcharged, don't take it personally. I'm going to see if I can't get her to burn off some energon, sir,// he transmits privately to the other Prime.

Sentinel Prime blurts, "You were partying? And I wasn't invited?" He thinks about that, and his expression hardens. Some of these Autobots, he doesn't know too well. Some of them, however, he knows extremely well. His gaze pans from Elita-1, to Jetfire, to Optimus, and he says slowly, "So... not one of you thought, for a moment, that I might like to enjoy myself sometime?" Sentinel Prime thinks, that right now, he ought to be feeling hurt and betrayed. Slag them, he's been putting real, genuine effort into this! Not necessarily for the best reasons, but he's been trying! Sentinel Prime let Optimus just have the girl without a fight. He tries to patch things up between them, and this is what he gets? Sentinel Prime has tried to reach out to Jetfire and even played on of those stupid video game things, and this is what he gets? Elita-1 hurt him in a place that no one sees but leaves him walking wounded every day, and she just has to drive the knife in further? Why does he even bother with these people? He tried. They haven't even bothered. He should lash out in an exceptionally petty way, he thinks. That is a reaction within his normal parameters. So Sentinel Prime decrees, "Tomorrow, that ropes course we were going to do? Forget it. We're studying Vogon poetry instead." Also, Mirage is not helping, and Optimus just rubs rust into the wound with something that sounds awfully wink wink nudge. Sentinel Prime snarls back, just as privately, //Yeah. You two do that.// Sentinel Prime turns smartly on one heel and snaps, "Enjoy your party now." He moves to head out. "I'm going to go check on my real friends." Maybe Botanica will have some free time in the biosphere and can help him out with this weird bump on his bonsai tree, a weird bump that is surely the end of the world. If not, maybe Kup or Impactor is off duty, Sentinel Prime sure wouldn't mind a fight right now... - - - OOC: Will hear any replies and can be stopped.

Jetfire wilts as Sentinel gaze moves over him, chiding them for not inviting him. He feels even worse when Sentinel leaves to go see his real friends. Jetfire isn't sure he counts as one of Sentinel's friends, but he still likes him well enough in a subordinate to commander sort of way. He quickly jogs after him. "Sentinel Prime, sir, wait please!"
Trying to move in front of Sentinel Prime, he offers up some of the energon goodies he had stashed away for Jetstorm. "I was not knowing you were not invited. I thought you had just deciding not to come..." He sends a frown back at Elita. "But you could perhaps be partying now if you are wanting?"

Skyblast continues to conclude that Elita-1 is a bit of a jerk, no matter how pretty she is. Mirage's kiss knocks any such contemplation out of Skyblast's head, however. He smirks back at Mirage and nods slowly. Yes, that was egregiously hot.
A slight frown touches his face over Sentinel's flouncing. Really, Skyblast was invited to the Elite Guard party and Sentinel Prime wasn't? Skyblast knew he was amazing, but that's a bit much! He says lowly, "Wow. Unpopular."

Override winces faintly (Vogon poetry? ugh!), then shrugs. "If that's the way it's gotta be, boss, but I wouldn't take it personally. Some people just have a hard time relaxing when the man in charge is around, you know?" Something Override is all too aware of, even being as laid back a leader as she was.
It's tempting to point out that she didn't even send out the invites, but hey, you don't snitch like that.
