Title: Take Over

By: Moonlit Sea

Summary: (sequel to Jealous Sides) Starscream intended to use her as a spy within the Ark, but he hadn't counted on a pair of Lamborghini's ruining his plan.

Almost a year had passed since Sam and Sideswipe had got back together and yet the red mech couldn't help but feel caught between Sunstreaker and the female. He didn't know how much more of it he could take and Sam's treatment of his brother wasn't helping either. Sideswipe had noticed that Sunstreaker was starting to avoid him, the mech wouldn't return to their room until very late at night, he had asked for shifts opposite to him and Sideswipe had also noticed that Sunstreaker would walk out of the rec room whenever he walked in. The last straw came when Sunstreaker walked into their room, saw him with the female and promptly walked back out. Sideswipe bolted towards the yellow mech and grabbed his arm before he could disappear out the door.

"Sam, I need to talk to my brother."

The brown-haired female shrugged, "Sure Sides. I'll see you later, yeah?" she asked with a smile.

"Maybe." He replied. The smile instantly vanished from female's face and she walked out. Sideswipe looked over at his brother, "Sunny…" but before he could continue Sunstreaker yanked his arm out of his grasp and headed for the door. "I'm breaking up with her."

The yellow Lamborghini stopped and looked back at him. "Why?"

"Because she's breaking us apart." Sideswipe explained with a sad tone in his voice.

Sunstreaker looked at his brother in amazement, he was willing to give up his happiness for him? "You…"

"I may love her but I can't stand what she's doing to us… to you." the red mech continued.

"That is a good idea, Optimus. Do you have anyone in mind for the position?" a chestnut-haired man asked.

"I do. She has helped us countless times over the months." Optimus replied. He saw the male smile and give a nod knowing exactly who the Autobot leader meant.

"She is good at what she does." He said. He thought for a moment before saying, "Consider the position hers. I'm assuming you would like to let her know."

"If that is what you wish." The male chuckled ending the communication with a nod.

Sunstreaker drove through the desert thinking about the conversation he had with his brother before he left. Did Sides really mean what he said? Would he really break up with Sam because of what was happening between them? Should he let him even consider breaking up with the female? After all it was not Sideswipe's fault that she broke up with the two of them in the first place, it was his. Why should his brother have to suffer for his mistake? Hadn't Sideswipe suffered enough through the years with all his bouts of anger and unsocialness? No, he would not let him do this, he would not let his brother sacrifice more of his happiness just because of the things he had done. It was time he thought of Sideswipe for a change instead of Sideswipe thinking about him.
