"You know I'm pretty much useless besides deceiving people like I'm a decepticon or something." The young medic to be, Sparks, sighed out tiredly, as if she had said the same statement many times before. In fact she had.
"Oh please, youngling, you wouldn't last five kliks with the Decepticons. You weren't created for battle purposes anyways. Now pass me that welder." Ratchet, the chief medical officer for the autobots, replied nonchalantly. Sparks complied with the grumpy medics wishes and passed him the welder.
"Heh, yeah, you were created to sit on your aft all day in the med bay, forced to listen to an ancient medic go on abou…OW!" Sideswipe hissed in pain as Ratchet "accidentally" hit a sensitive wire in his arm.
"At least I don't have a sibling who enjoys ripping my arms off." Slparks replied dryly leaning against the far med bay wall.
"Well, at least I can read the human language, English!" Sideswipe shot back at her.
"ow .. that hurt, right here!" Sparks replied pointing at her spark chamber. "Besides there are too many letters to remember. Plus I'm also learning their anatomy. Humans are going to have to choose! Do they want a medic or somebody who can read English?" Sparks continued.
"I would hope my medics know how to read English." Sparks turned around to see Major William Lennox and Sgt. Robert Epps standing in the med bay doorway each having their own smirks on their faces.
"Too bad you can't have both. And I'm pretty sure you'd choose the medic." Sparks replied her own smirk appearing on her face.
'"Yeah, because you're just the right size to fix humans, aren't you, SHORTY!" Sideswipe teased.
"I was going to ask how Sides was doing, but I can see he's fine. Oh , and Optimus wanted me to remind you about the meeting in about ten minutes, Ratch." Will informed Ratchet.
"What does he think I am? A sparkling?" Ratchet shouted.
"Can I leave yet Ratchet?" Sparks asked tired of the pointless conversation that didn't involve her any.
"Yes, that's fine. Just remember to be here bright and early tomorrow. Wheeljack is starting a new invention. Primus help us." Ratchet answered her with a sigh.
"Okay, nothing I haven't handled before. Bye Ratchet! Bye Sideswipe! Bye Epps! Bye Will!" Sparks yelled while activating her skates.
"Bye Sparky!" Sideswipe yelled after her, using her nick name.
"WHEEE! Thunk. WHEEE! Thunk. WHEEE! Thunk." At the moment Sparks was currently attached to the TIC ,also her current crush, pede as he ran down the hall.
"Alright, Little femme, ah know ya like ta ride on mah pedes, but ahs gots a mettin' to get ta. Sorry but ya gotta get off." Jazz told Sparks, who was latched on to his pedes only moments before.
"Before you go, Jazzy, do you think it's a bad thing I'm only the size of a human?" Sparks asked her best friend. He crouched down, and gave her one of his signature smiles. A smile that always calmed her nerves when she saw it.
"Naw, its probably just to show big things come in little packages, but we can finish this after the meetin and ya can tell meh wha' brought tha' question on. Kay?" He replied giving her enough of a boost to last until after the meeting, his smile never leaving his face.
"Hmmm? Kay! Bye Jazzy!" Sparks yelled up at the mech.
"See ya lil femme!" Jazz yelled back, now running as fast as could down the hall, so he wouldn't be late for his meeting. With a sigh Sparks continued her journey to the recroom. Sparks thoughts kept drifting back to when she first landed on Earth after she heard Optimus Prime's message.
Being a pretender she is very small, about five feet and three inches, so on the humans primitive technology they couldn't tell what fraction she was from, so when Sparks climbed at of her crater she was greeted by tanks and Cybertronian cannons pointed at her. The first bot to talk to her was Prime. He explained that the Autobots were the humans allies and they were not to be harmed. Of course if you asked her what exactly he said she wouldn't be able to tell you because truthfully she was more entertained by the silver and gold mechs wrestling behind Prime to really concentrate on what he was saying.
Sparks didn't actually become aquanted with the two until a month later when Sunstreaker brought Sideswipe in one hand and an arm and leg in the other right into the med bay. "Oh, hey it's the femme who made the pathetically small crater." Was the first thing the two had said to her.
Sparks was brought out of her thoughts when she reached the recroom. Not very many bots were there, so she figured most of them were at the meeting.
