So... some of you may recognise this story. Bit rest assured, it is not the SAME story exactly.

This is a redo of my first ever transformers story, and hopefully it will be better. I mean, I started this when I was 12 years old and I honestly think I've improved at least a bit since then. This may mean that the plot may make a few drastic changes and my writing style may be a bit different. I've just finished year one of creative writing so hopefully I've picked something up.

I've upped the rating of this to Mature because I know I will be using more swearing than I did in 2012.

There will be canon divergence obviously with new characters participating.

You can go back and read my original version of this if you haven't already, but you won't need to in order to enjoy and understand this because different things are going to happen but with the same general outcome. Make way for more shenanigans!

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. I only own my OC's. (PM me if you wish to use them)

This is going to be fun. Enjoy!

No one's PoV

Many of the humans had already retired for the night, having training in the early hours. The Lennox and Epps families had eventually joined the other soldiers with their little ones exhausted from the day. Even the now grown up Annabelle Lennox was not awake at the late hour. The Autobots however, did not have the privilege of their younglings being tuckered out and ready for recharge. Instead, the three younglings Slipstream and Red Cross, led by oldest Halo were buzzing through the room playing a concoction of hide and seek and tag. The adults were conversing easily, all keeping an eye on the troublemakers. And for once that wasn't Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. The twins had learnt the hard way that the number of pranks had to decrease. Especially after Ratchet realised his creation was starting to imitate them.

"Mearing told me that the President is going to be present at the next inspection." Lunalight was saying as she and the other four femmes in her troop were sat. "Wants to see the younglings apparantely."

"Well looks like Ratchet and Ironhide are going to have to intimidate Wheeljack enough that he doesn't go into his lab during the visit." Athena Prime laughed.

"Or I could just weld him to a med berth." Lunalight partially joked. "Though we could just let Brightstorm on him. She'll keep him in line."

"The pit is that supposed to mean?" the sparked femme exclaimed.

"It means you are one scary bitch." Swift Kick drank from her energon cube, her Earth lingo still slipping through.

"Hell hath no fury like a sparked femme." Ironhide cut in. A few of the mechs had drifted over to where the femmes were. A mixture of sire, mate and sibling coding still influencing them to keep close to the femmes and younglings. After all that had occurred in their time on Earth it was no surprise. Shit had been hitting the fan as long as the femmes had known the autobots and had never stopped. If it wasn't an alien civil war, it was trying to raise sparklings and younglings around humans that they could easily squish. Imagine the paperwork involved in that.

"And this sparked femme," Brightstorm smiled wickedly. "Has no problem with locking you out of our quarters and sending you to the twins if you keep those comments up."

"Now that'd be a story to hear." Darkstar smirked.

"A story? Grandsire, are you telling another story?" Halo jumped up excitedly by Optimus Prime, her grandsire.

"Halo sweetspark, we weren't actually-" Athena tried to distract her creation from her sire.

"I wanna hear! I wanna hear!" Slipstream sat in the midst of the adults, eagerly waiting. Meanwhile, Red Cross had snuck up on his sire and started crawling into his lap, curling into his frame. Ratchet wrapped his arm around him for support. Being the youngest of the three younglings, he was much easier to tire out than the other two. Lunalight couldn't help but smile fondly at her two favourite mechs.

"Keep looking at him like that, you're asking to get sparked up again." Brightstorm teased, nudging her.

"Shove off. I can ogle my bondmate if I want to." Normally she could let teasing roll off her, but her sister knew exactly how to get under her plating and irritate her.

"It seems the younglings want a story." Bumblebee chuckled as he picked up Halo from Optimus's leg and sat her down next to her brother. "Have you three been good today?"

"Uh huh" Slipstream nodded enthusiastically. Red Cross quietly clicked – the language sparklings used. Lunalight had to quickly dampen her emotions over the creator bond to hide her sorrow at the sound.

Despite being the youngest, Red Cross should have started speaking a while ago. However he continued using the most primitive form of communication and barely using that either. While Ratchet continuously told her that this could be normal and each sparkling developed at their own pace, she couldn't help but worry about her creation. She knew Ratchet was starting to become concerned along with some others on the base. She couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her baby.

"Okay you can have a story, if you scurry off to berth when it's done." furious nods responded to Athena. "Now then, which story should we tell?"

"The body switching one is always a fun memory." Swift Kick suggetsed.

"Hmpf. Let's not scar them just yet. I'm still getting my processor through that one." Ratchet rejected the idea quickly.

"What about Egypt?" Jazz suggested.

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one." Athena quickly shot that one down before Halo could request hearing about the exotic lands. Athena didn't really want to explain to Halo and Slipstream that their grandsire had been murdered there. She still struggled with acknowledging it.

"What about when you first came to base, Athena?" Bee thought.

"Um, I guess so. Not too long a story. Filter out the bad words. Yeah that should work - I'm going to be stuck with narrating most of it anyway. Lunalight, Brightstorm, would you two take over your parts of the story when they come up?

"You betcha."

"Okay then. You three remember that the five of us used to go by different names? I'll be using those."

"When you were human?" Halo gasped excitedly.

"Yes. When we were human."

obviously this is already different to the last version of this story already. You must be wondering who the hell all these new characters are so I'm going to just do a little diagram for you here about who's who as I will be using their human names in the story. Hopefully this won't be too confusing for you. They'll be human apart from the prologue, a mid chapter and the end chapter:

Athena Prime = Amelia Evans Prime (mate of Bumblebee and daughter of Optimus Prime and Natalia Evans)

Lunalight = Cassidy Cloetta (mate of Ratchet and sister to Brightstorm)

Brightstorm = Skylar Cloetta (mate of Ironhide and sister to Lunalight)

Darkstar = Mikaela Banes (mate of Mirage)

Swift Kick = Maggie Madsen (mate of Jazz)

Halo = N/A (daughter of Athena Prime and Bumblebee)

Slipstream = N/A (son of Athena prime and Bumblebee)

Red Cross = N/A (son of Lunalight and Ratchet)

Hope you all are looking forward to a better version of my first story and I hope I don't make it worse. There will be mistakes because I am not a robot and I'm not perfect.

Leave a review and let me know what you think :)
