Disclaimer: I own nothing but Starshine and the plot, everything else belongs to Hasbro.

Summary: Drabbles of Starshine's life, how she came to live with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.

Okay, so here is my prequel for Incoming Love. I wasn't going to do a complete story, because I can't think of like a day to day events for that. So instead I put it in drabbles and hopefully you will be able to enjoy it that way. I'm sorry if I mess up the age stuff, since I'm still learning all that. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

"WHERE THE FRAG HAVE YOU BEEN? WHAT THE SLAG IS THAT?" yelled Sunstreaker upon spotting his brother walking in the door.

Sideswipe grinned, shifting the little bundle that was in his arm. "Hello to you to Sunshine," he teased his brother. That only earned him a growl and a glare to the bundle still in the red mech's arm.

"What is that?" he asked again.

The grin on his brother's face, if possible widen as he set down a box, he held in his other arm. Sunstreaker watched in slow motion as the bundle was slowly unwrapped and revealed what was inside.

"Take it back," he said as soon as he realized what it was.

The grin disappeared on Sideswipe's face as he looked down at the small sparkling in his arm. "I can't Sunny, I found her on the streets."

"I don't care, it's not staying here," he snapped back eyeing the sparkling with disgust.

"But I can't just abandoned her."

"YES YOU CAN," he yelled very irritated at the moment. "All you have to do is leave it out on the streets and someone else will pick it up."

Sideswipe looked down sadly at the sleeping sparkling in his arm. "Her creators were dead on either side of her, I couldn't just leave her."

"I don't cares Sides," Sunstreaker snapped ignoring his brother's pained look. "That thing can't stay here. I don't want them decepticon's or autobot's coming around. Get rid of it."

The red twin continued to watch the sparkling sadly. "Alright, I'll do it in the morning. Too late to go out now."

Sunstreaker was going to argue, but stopped when he realized his brother was right. "Fine," he growled marching out of the room.

Sideswipe watched as his twin left, closing the door to their room behind him. He knew his brother was right, neither wanted trouble from either faction. Having a sparkling would only cause more, if she stayed longer then a solar cycle.

The sparkling was stirring, starting to squirm in his arm. He brought a smile to his face as she brought her optics online. It looked around trying to take in the place that she was. Her optics snapped back to his and….

CRYING

Sideswipe not prepared for the loud wailing, nearly dropped her. He held the crying sparkling at arms length, just as his brother came running out of the bedroom.

Sunstreaker was yelling, but it was drowned out by the sparkling who was crying louder and louder.

The yellow twin began rummaging through the box Sideswipe brought home. He pulled out a container, opened it up and gave it to the sparkling.

Instantly, silence fell as the little femme began drinking from the cube. Her optics glanced back and forth between the two giving a few happy clicks to the two.

Sunstreaker growled turning to Sideswipe who was grinning like mad. "See you're a natural at this Sunny." He said, only earning him a smack to the helm. The sparkling clicked, but returned to her food.

"Don't test my patience Sides, It still goes in the morning."

"Mmhm," Sideswipe murmured watching the sparkling happily. His brother growled yet again and went back to the bedroom.

The little femme watched him go carefully, turning bright blue optics back curiously. Sides chuckled. "Don't worry, he just doesn't like competition is all."

CLANG

"Ow," he yelled out as something hit him in the back.

The sparkling clapped and clicked happily as he glared down at the metal that struck him. He then turned that glare towards Sunny, but the door was already closed.

"Guess you and I are bunking on the couch tonight, little one."

The sparkling clicked a few times as he took the now empty cube from her, placing it off to the side. Sideswipe then lay himself out on the too small couch, maneuvering the femme a little.

He lay on his back, while she lay directly over his spark chamber. The medic had told him that she would want to take comfort from his spark.

The sparkling moved around a few times trying to get comfortable, and Sides laughed when her little hand brushed against his chest plates. "Can't get comfortable, can you?"

She clicked burrowing deeper into the blanket's that were wrapped around her. Finally, though she settled, blinking blue optics up at him.

Smiling he reached out and stroked her little helm, which she leaned into happily. "I'm sorry you can't stay here. But Sunny is right, this isn't a great place to raise someone as small as you."

Click

"If I could, I would keep you, but I think you would be better off with somebody who would be able to take care of you better."

Click

"Yeah, you would get proper creators, who could love you as one of their own. Hopefully they would be able to get you out of Kaon and into a better life."

The sparkling had fallen into recharge as Sideswipe continued to stroke her helm. He watched her, until his own recharge cycle took over his body, pulling him down.

Author Notes: So there you go the first chapter. Sideswipe finds the sparkling and brings her home. Please review and let me know!
