5 things
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers, just Peaches my OC.
My teammates think it's a little ridiculous that I'm in love with an Autobot femme. Her teammates were just shocked to find out who she was seeing but I, Sideways, see 5 things that make me like her a lot...
1. Her adopted human parents passed away so she knows how it feels to lose someone.
I first found this out when I ran into her one night, the first time that I had met her. She was crying her optics out while in her robot mode, not really caring if any humans saw her. Sure, I could have attacked her right then and there but something stopped me; I think it was because she was dealing with a lot of slag right then and adding to it was not the best option. Besdies, she was still in training, from what Soundwave had found out from monitoring NEST's communications.
She began cursing in English and Cybertronian at Starscream, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" she shouted at the end of her ranting.
The orange femme then turned to me and said in an angry voice "What are you looking at?"
"Who do you think you are to talk to a Decepticon like that?" I replied, trying to make myself sound scary, even though I was failing miserably at doing so.
Then I introduced myself and when she said her name was Peaches, I started laughing a little bit.
"Go figure, everyone laughs when I tell them my name but you're not gonna laugh when I tell you why I was crying like that." she replied.
She told me of her human parents' demise; they were going on a plane to visit her at NEST base when Starscream, needing something to take his anger out on, shot down that said plane into the ocean. Just off the coast of Diego Garcia, no less.
"I am not going to talk to Shadow about this, even though she's my friend." Peaches said.
"That elite vampire who lives you Autobots but visits us Decepticons?" I asked.
"Yes, Sideways, that's who I mean." she said, groaning. "You don't know shit about losing someone."
"As a matter of fact I do." I replied, getting angry all over again. "I'm sure you heard about Demolisher and how Optimus executed him on the spot."
She looked me straight in the optics as she said "Yes; Sideswipe told me about that-wait, how did you survive being cut in half?"
"I'll get to that in a minute. Demolisher was my friend since we were both sparklings; we both joined the Decepticon cause because we didn't want to be on different sides. Yes, I was a coward for hiding behind him but 'protecting' me is not all her did." I sighed. "He and I were fighting so that we would have a chance to find our own femmes to be with, thus why I was not fighting Arcee, Chromia and Flareup. Sideswipe missed my spark when he cut me in half so Scalpel built me a new body after the Fallen was destroyed. Since then, Megatron sent me here even though it's Starscream he should be getting rid of."
"Why would he send you here?" Peaches asked, sounding a bit surprised.
"An order's an order, even when a Decepticon is overenergized, or 'drunk' as the humans call it.' I answered her.
I just wanted to forget everything so Peaches suggested seeing a movie. The only Earth movies I had seen, so far, had been mostly superhero movies, particularly the ones about Marvel Comics superheroes. "I've seen the 1st Ironman movie, so how about we both see the 2nd one?"
"Just as long as Optimus doesn't find out I'm doing this-are you asking me out on a date?" she asked surprised, forgetting her sadness completely.
'In a sense, yes. You pay for our tickets and your popcorn and soda though, got it?" I said.
"Deal." Peaches replied, shaking my hand.
That had been the first thing we bonded over, knowing how it felt to lose someone, and later, more than that.
