One of Sky-bytes ideas turned Sideburn into a sparkling how will his brothers deal with it?
Chapter 1 baby brother
Sky-byte had a special weapon ready. "This will be great!" Sky-byte said to himself. Sky-byte caused a ruckus in the city.
T-AI saw what was happening."Optimus Sky-byte is cause problems in the city." She said.
"Who is closest?" Optimus asked.
"The Autobot brothers. I call them." She said. She contacted the brothers.
X-brawn, Prowl and Sideburn were ready. "Okay lets take Sky-byte down!" Sideburn said.
"Yeah let's do it little brothers!" X-brawn said. Then Suddenly Sky-byte pulled out a weapon. It looked "Dangerous" X-brawn and Prowl got out of the way but Side burn tripped. Sky-byte fired the weapon it hit Sideburn. Sideburn screamed.
He was screaming because it hurt and the he began to grow extremely tired and his mind seemed to become younger and he began to shrink. In less than a minute Sideburn was sparkling about 2 days old. X-brawn and Prowl were shocked.
Sky-byte turned to use the weapon on them but X-brawn shot it out of his hand it broke into many pieces. Sky-byte retreated.
Prowl ran up to their little brother. He picked him up Side burn shifted in his sleep and began to suck his thumb. X-brawn came over. "Oh, this happened because we didn't protect him." He said.
"Let's head back to the base and sort this out." Prowl said.
"Good idea little brother." X-brawn said.
They walked into base. Everyone was shocked. Koji got a look at the little bundle. "I didn't know you guys started out as babies like humans." Koji said.
"Yes we do start out as infants but our infants are called sparklings." Optimus said.
T-AI scanned him. "He's about 2 days old. He's just newborn." She said.
Sideburn began to wake up. Prowl looked down. Sideburn looked up at his older brother he opened his mouth and cried. Koji was surprised. "He's got quite a set pipes." He said.
"Oh there, there Sideburn it's alright." Prowl cooed rocking him. Sideburn continued to cry.
X-brawn decided to try. "It's alright your big brothers are here it's okay." X-brawn said in gentle voice but Sideburn kept on crying to show how unhappy he was. Then a sound was heard. It was the growling a hungry fuel tank. Sideburn cried even loader.
Prowl and X-brawn realized the reason why Sideburn was crying wasn't because he was scared, it was because he was hungry. "Lucky we have bottles for sparklings in storage." T-AI said.
Prowl ran off to get one while X-brawn tried to calm down their hungry baby brother. Prowl came back it was full fresh low grade energon He began to test it on his wrist t make sure the temperature was warm enough for Sideburn to enjoy it.
"Nice and warm." Prowl said. He handed the bottle to X-brawn because Sideburn was in his arms. X-brawn lowered the bottle to Sideburns mouth and the teat went in. Sideburn began to suck on it his cries quieted down immediately. Sideburn was sucking on the bottle with out care in the world.
Soon the bots began to chat. Sideburn was almost done with the bottle. It was at the last few mouthfuls. Sideburn finished the bottle. Sideburn began gulp air. Catching his brothers' attention. Both them exclaimed. X-brawn pulled the empty bottle away. Sideburn whined about the loss. Sideburn began to get extra fussy. X-brawn placed him up to his shoulder and began to patted his back. Sideburn felt air being forced up his throat. Then without any warning. *Burp!* Sideburn sighed and snuggled into X-brawn's neck.
"Aw," Koji said. X-brawn moved Sideburn back to his chest. Sideburn let out a yawn.
"Looks like someone is getting sleepy." Koji said. Sideburn yawned again and fell asleep. Sideburn began to shiver. Prowl left and came back with a small blanket. X-brawn wrapped Sideburn up in it. Sideburn's shivering stopped. "He's so cute." Koji said.
"Yes he is, I almost forgot what he was like as a sparkling." Prowl said.
"I remember more you were only three when he was born." X-brawn said. Prowl realized something and came back. He had something that looked similar to a diaper. "Let's put that on him," X-brawn said.
They unwrapped the blanket and placed the diaper plated on him.
"There, that should do it." Prowl said. With blanket wrapped around him once again Sideburn continued to nap but Sideburn began to looked like he was trying to get his arms free from the blanket. Prowl realized his brother was trying to get to thumb. Prowl pulled out pacifier he grabbed and put it in his brother's mouth. Sideburn began to suck on it.
Prowl and X-brawn found a crib in storage they set up in their room the three brothers shared a room. X-brawn placed Sideburn in the crib and set up the sparkling monitor and quietly tip toed out of the room and shut the door quietly. The Build team came in kind of loudly. "Shh!" Prowl and X-brawn said.
"Don't shush me!" Heavyload shouted. Then.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Sideburn cried.
"Is that a sparkling I hear?" Wedge asked.
Prowl ran in saw the pacifier on the ground and picked up his crying brother. "There, there it's okay Sideburn back to sleep, go back to sleep." Prowl said. Sideburn kept on crying.
"I know something that might work." X-brawn said and began to hum a little lullaby. Prowl knew that lullaby their mother use to sing that song to them every night as children. Sideburn began to calm down and recharge was trying to grab him. X-brawn picked up the pacifier and stuck in his baby brother's mouth. Sideburn began to suck on it and fell back to sleep.
Prowl placed Sideburn back in the crib. And both older brothers marched out angry but shut the door quietly. They told the build team to meet them in command center. Once the build team was in the command center. The two brothers lost it.
"We told you to be quiet because Sideburn is sleeping in there and you idiots woke up him up!" X-brawn shouted.
"How can that be Sideburn?" Hightower asked.
"It's long story." Prowl said. They explained.
"I guess we should of been quieter." Grimlock said.
"You got that right now when you are near our room be quiet if you think he is sleeping in there got it?" X-brawn said. The build team nodded.
"What's going on in here?" Optimus asked.
"These idiots woke up Sideburn earlier." X-brawn said.
"Sorry," They said.
"Well I'm glad that is straightened out. Prowl and X-brawn I need you for patrol soon." Optimus said.
"But what about Sideburn?" X-brawn asked.
"Don't worry he'll be okay maybe the build team can make up for their mistake by watching him." Optimus said.
"Sounds good to me." X-brawn said.
"Yes it's the least we could do considering we woke the little guy up." Wedge said. The rest of build team agreed. Prowl and X-brawn left.
( Get ready for more sparkling cuteness!)
