I'm human!?
The beginning
When Ratchet gets captured by MECH and induced with a chemical that changes him into a human, how will Sirius, his best human friend, help him fit in? Will his thoughts about humans change? Will Ratchet ever be able to change back? How will his thoughts for Sirius change? What will happen next? I am Sirius and this is what happens. This story is mine but I only own Sirius and the animals.
Ratchet was driving back to base from dropping his charge and best human friend, Sirius, home. Ratchet was thinking about taking a drive for a while when he was hit with something and blacked out.
When Ratchet awoke he was strapped to a table and he heard a familiar voice say, "Hello Autobot." "Silas." Ratchet growled. "Smart 'bot. Smarter than the others." Silas complimented. "What do you want with me?" Ratchet growled again. "We are just going to do a test on you. And if the test is a success then we will let you go back to your human friend." Silas said smiling then walked out of the room.
"You better not hurt her." Ratchet growled before Silas shut the door, but wondered why he said it as if he would slice him into a million pieces if he did touch her. Sirius had never been in danger by anything and that had made Ratchet worry about her safety even more over the months.
About 30 earth minutes later a man in a white coat came in with a giant table rolling behind him. On the table was a Cybertronian size vile. The man rolled the table under a piece of hydraulics, flipped a switch, and then walked out of the room. The arm, as Ratchet thought of it, picked up the vile and moved it towards his arm.
Ratchet tried to struggle, but the straps were too tight. The arm then injected the vile into Ratchet's arm which released the chemical inside of him. Ratchet felt pain but fought it as to not let the humans know that they had inflicted pain on him. The arm removed the vile and Ratchet blacked out, but not before thinking about Sirius.
Sirius's place
Sirius had been waiting for Ratchet for an hour and it was now 8:00 A.M. Sirius was surprised when Optimus showed up. Sirius grabbed her bag and got in to go to base and said, "Hello Optimus. What is wrong? Where is Ratchet?" "Ratchet has gone missing. I am deeply concerned that MECH or the Decepticons have captured him." Optimus replied.
Sirius shivered and Optimus sensed this. Using his seatbelt he gently tightened it around Sirius as if in a hug. "Thank yah Optimus." Sirius said with her country accent. "Do you want to talk about it?" Optimus asked fatherly.
Sirius had known the 'bots long before Jack, Miko, and Raf. They were like family to her, especially Optimus. When she was a little girl her step-father would abuse her and her mother had died shortly after giving birth, but had told her something important, who her real father was. Sirius had run away to search for a new life and her real father and had found that life in Jasper, Nevada.
She had accidentally run into Megatron her first day in Jasper, Nevada, but Optimus had saved her. Optimus had been fatherly to her ever since, even though her guardian was Ratchet who was a best friend more than family. But Sirius had even accidentally called Optimus Dad in front of everyone a few times, but he had only smiled and brushed it off. Sirius thinks that Optimus wants to be her father and she wouldn't mind that.
"It's just that Ratchet is my best friend and I don't want him gettin' hurt. He's told me all of his secrets and I've told him all off mine. I care about him and he cares about me. I just want tah see that he's alright." Sirius replied to Optimus who said that he understood. They were silent the rest of the way to base.
When they got to base Sirius got out and went straight to the ladder that she had bought so she could get up to Ratchet's desk and climbed it. She immediately plugged in her laptop from home to the main frame and started to work on what she could of the synthetic energon, and she successfully made it a positive charge.
Ratchet never let anyone help with it except for Sirius which had surprised everyone. Everyone just watched. Everyone thought about how Ratchet and Sirius were alike and how they were the best of best friends. They also thought about how Sirius knew so much about Cybertron, even more than Raf.
They then thought of how Sirius had somehow broken through Ratchet's grumpy barrier and gotten to his nice side. All of a sudden the alarm went off and Sirius immediately knew it was a call from someone they didn't share the base location with. Sirius put on the screen view and growled like a dog. It was Silas.
"I wish to speak with the one human called Sirius." Silas stated. "I'm right here but they're not leavin'." Sirius said, still growling like a dog. Silas hit a button and in a box on the top left hand corner of the screen showed Ratchet in previous hours of recording. "What have yah done tah my partnah?" Sirius said, getting angry because he didn't show Ratchet in the time of now.
"We just did one test on him of which worked out fine. But he is different now. Don't worry; he still has his memories of his little friend, or should I say girlfriend, and such. (everyone could see anger in Sirius's eyes at his saying). He is at your house right now actually. Good bye." Silas ended the transmission and Sirius slid down the latter to Optimus who had already transformed and they sped out of base.
When they got to Sirius's house Optimus transformed, since her house was in the desert, about 7 miles out of town. Optimus looked around and saw a human on Sirius's steps. "There." Optimus said and pointed.
Sirius ran over to her porch and stopped. It was a male around her age, 19, and was a little taller than her. The teen had roan (dark brown) hair, blue eyes, and freckles just like Sirius. (for some odd reason their eyes were the same color as the Autobots for both of them).
He also had Ratchet's medical stripes as a birth mark on each arm? Sirius looked around and saw a note by him. She picked up the note and walked over to Optimus who picked her up so she could read the note to him. It said, in Sirius's words,
Thursdy, Decembah 05, 2013
Dear Miss Sirius,
If yah are wondahin' who this 19 year old human is, he is Ratchet, your friend. This is what the test is supposed tah do tah your friend, or whatevah yah call him. We will do this tah your Autobot friends if they fall intah our hands. We will also do this tah the Decepticons. There is no cure.
Silas
Sirius looked up at Optimus who looked down at Sirius. Ratchet was now a human! Optimus set Sirius down and she walked over to Ratchet. Sirius gently shook Ratchet awake who hit heads with her. "Sirius? How are you as tall as me?" Ratchet asked while they clutched their heads. "Oh, Ratchet!" Sirius exclaimed and threw her arms around Ratchet's neck, he of which had a look of shock on his face.
Sirius let go of Ratchet and he looked around. He looked up and saw that Optimus was standing above them with worry. "Optimus? How are you taller?" Optimus smiled. "Will someone tell me what's going on?" Ratchet asked.
Sirius gently grabbed Ratchet's hand and showed it to him. Ratchet looked up at Optimus, then back to Sirius, and then looked at the rest of his body. "What happened to me?" Ratchet asked. "MECH captured yah aftah yah drove me home last night. They had put yah through a test and this was supposed tah be the results. And there isn't a cure." Sirius said looking Ratchet in the eyes.
Ratchet knew that she wasn't lying and sighed. "Sirius, I would advise that you take Ratchet inside and get him the necessities of a human." "Yes Dad… ah… Optimus." Sirius said and led Ratchet in the house while shaking her head because she had called Optimus Dad again. Optimus smiled and thought, 'If only she were my own…'
After Sirius explained to Ratchet more efficiently about being a human and such things she got him some water and made some food. After she made sure he was hydrated and well fed Sirius took Ratchet up stairs so he could fix himself up.
After he was done they went back outside and got in Optimus to go to base. All the while Ratchet was mostly silent but Optimus and Sirius knew that Ratchet was worried about how the others would react to his change.
Before they went into base, Sirius put her hand on Ratchet's. Ratchet looked at Sirius. "Friends stick togethah and partnahs help each othah." Sirius said smiling to Ratchet who lightly smiled back. Sirius wrapped her hand around Ratchet's in comfort. Optimus smiled inwardly and thought, 'Ratchet will be fine with Sirius helping him.'
When Optimus stopped Sirius let go of Ratchet's hand and got out of the cab. Sirius walked around front of Optimus and Optimus opened Ratchet's door. Everyone stared. "Come on Ratchet. Yah will have tah show yourself soonah or latah." Sirius whispered comfortingly to Ratchet in his ear while running her hand through his hair comfortingly after she sat on the edge of the seat.
Ratchet looked at Sirius and smiled. Sirius returned the smile and hopped down. Ratchet turned in the seat and hopped out after her. "Is that your twin Sirius, and why is he here?" Jack asked. "Wrong question, and 3… 2… 1…"
Jack looked at her confused then looked at Ratchet when she said one and Ratchet yelled, "Jack, you little scraplet!" and started running towards Jack with his arms out stretched. Jack ran. Optimus had transformed and he and Sirius watched and snickered.
"Alright Ratchet. That's enough. Yah've had your fun." Sirius said after a while. Ratchet stopped, let Jack out of the head lock that he had him in, and came over to Sirius who was smiling and smiled back, and they snickered. "Wait. That's Ratchet?" everyone asked. Ratchet turned his head down.
"Yes, and y'all will be nice tah him. Is that clear?" Sirius said harshly, but looked at Miko, who had a grin on her face, when she said it. Sirius wrapped her arm around Ratchet's shoulders in comfort and pulled him close and Ratchet looked at her a little, smiling, and Sirius smiled back. Everyone nodded.
Ratchet looked back up snickering. Sirius didn't take her arm away. Miko walked to Ratchet who looked at her and looked ready to run, but she only looked at his birth marks. "Why do you still have your medical stripes?" she asked.
Ratchet looked at Sirius, who had now taken her arm away, not wanting to speak to anyone and was still leaning backwards when she nodded. "We believe that it became a birth mark. It is the only logical explanation." Sirius supplied.
"But where will he stay? Who will be your guardians?" Raf asked as Sirius weaved her fingers in between Ratchet's. "Ratchet will stay with Sirius and I will be their guardian." Optimus supplied. Ratchet looked at Sirius and smiled. She smiled back. At that moment June drove in.
"Hello everyone. Has there been any news on Ratchet? And who might this be Sirius? Your boyfriend perhaps?" Everyone snickered. Ratchet and Sirius were standing really close to each other and Sirius had her fingers weaved in between Ratchet's fingers so June thought that they were going out.
Ratchet and Sirius blushed but then Ratchet got a little mad. "Now, now. Yah need tah calm the tempah." Sirius said and brushed his arm with her other hand and Ratchet instantly calmed down and smiled at Sirius who smiled back. That scared everyone. Ratchet never calmed down that fast.
"Miss Darby, this here is Ratchet. MECH captured him and induced him with a chemical that changed him intah a human. They said that there is no cure and now it is that as so that he we be livin' with me and for Optimus tah be our guardian." Sirius said sternly.
Miss Darby looked from Optimus who nodded, to Sirius who nodded, to Ratchet who nodded as well. "I am terribly sorry Ratchet, Sirius; I didn't mean to embarrass you." Miss Darby said and they nodded. "We understand." Sirius said.
Ratchet and Sirius walked towards the latter and climbed up. Sirius told him how to use a laptop and all that and he picked it up quickly. Sirius sat next to Ratchet, on the floor, with her back leaning against his leg and head resting on his lap. Ratchet didn't mind, he was used to Sirius leaning against his leg since she did it when he was a Cybertronian.
Everyone was a little curious about it though that Ratchet would let her do that and that Sirius would do it. They also thought it curious when Ratchet would look down at Sirius or rub Sirius's arm or head from time to time or hold her hand, as if making sure she was there, and Sirius would lean into the touch or look up at him or weave her fingers in between his, but then lean back into his leg.
They thought of it as kinda cute as well, but wouldn't let their suspicion go away. Sirius smiled when the Autobots asked Ratchet to open a ground bridge and he did it correctly without fail. Everything went smoothly. Sirius dosed off after a little bit and Ratchet lightly smiled and kept his one hand in hers. Sirius woke up after about an hour or so.
She found herself now in Ratchet's lap and not on the floor, but didn't mind and shrank into his hold. Optimus wanted for Sirius and Ratchet to leave early so they could go get Ratchet some human necessities, which made Sirius grumpy because she was in a comfortable position.
When they got back home they quickly unloaded Optimus' trailer and let him go back to base. When Ratchet finished putting everything away and walked down the stairs Sirius said there was only 5 minutes left before their dinner would be ready and that he could go out and do something of his pleasure. Ratchet walked out the back door and was surprised to see what humans called a farm in front of him.
There were gardens, barns, animals, and pins. He looked at some of the animals, but didn't touch them, for afraid of their reaction. Sirius had seen him walk out the door and had walked up behind him. When she saw him looking longer at 1 of her 4 favorite horses she spoke up.
"Yah can touch him. He's kind tah anyone who is my friend. But no one evah comes back here othah than me." Ratchet jumped when he realized that Sirius was right behind him, talked to him in her sweet, calming, accented voice of, which he loved, and wrapped her hand around his.
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Ratchet asked while weaving his fingers in between hers. "No one evah asked." Sirius said and giggled, and blushed a little. Sirius whistled and her horses came up. "How did you do that?" Ratchet asked interested.
"Horses are extremely intelligent. They learned different calls and what they mean when I taught them. That's why they're my favorite animal, othah than the fact that they're strong, agile, brave, and beautiful animals." Sirius said stroking the white horse that had rested its head on her shoulder while still holding Ratchet's hand.
"This ones' name is Shilo; he is one of the contributors tah my horse whispahin' powahs, and the lovey one. The roan that yah was starin' at is Flickah; he's the othah contributor tah my horse whispahin' powahs and is also a lovey one. They're also twins. Then there is Midnight Ridah, the black one, and Astraya is the bay." Sirius said and stroked each one on the muzzle, but never let go of Ratchet's hand.
The horses looked at Ratchet and he carefully stroked each one on the muzzle without letting go of Sirius's hand. Flicker rested his head on Ratchet's shoulder. The horses whinnied and Ratchet looked at Sirius but she smiled. "They said that yah's a nice person. They want yah tah be their friend." Ratchet stared at her then smiled. "Of course." Then he looked back at the horses.
"Come on now. Food's gettin' cold and we's need tah wash up." Sirius said and Ratchet nodded and started for the house. Before Sirius left the pin Ratchet saw that the ones she said were Shilo and Flicker walked up to the pin wire, leaned their heads and necks over, and one at a time wrapped their heads around her back as if in a hug. Sirius hugged them back. Ratchet smiled then walked the rest of the way to the house and went in.
After they washed up, ate their dinner, and discussed why the horses hugged her, which they were not trained to but just had a habit of doing it because they were the contributors to her horse whispering powers, Ratchet and Sirius went back out to tend to the animals.
Ratchet was surprised at how much land she had. Sirius said that she owned 70 acres. First they tended to the 4 turkeys, 5 hens, 2 roosters, and 3 ducks that Sirius had in the bird house. They then took care of the 4 horses that they had looked at earlier.
When they walked out of the pin, 4 small animals ran up wagging their tails. "No. Y'all get your food in a little bit." Sirius scolded and Ratchet snickered. They were holding hands again. "These are my dogs, Shiba, Lassie, Thundah, and Germany." Sirius stated. Ratchet bent down and patted them on the head.
The dogs walked with them as they walked and tended to the other animals. They tended to 6 more horses, 6 beef cows, one beef bull, 4 goats, 3 sheep, 1 rabbit, and 5 cats. When they were done they fed the dogs and Sirius said, "Sorry I didn't tell yah that I had all these animals. I don't work nor get any money from the governments so I sell some of the eggs and sell some of the calves and all that. And it's just that people don't understand that I… I have a special connection with animals."
They sat down in the living room and looked at each other. Ratchet looked at her and cocked his head which made Sirius giggle. "How do you have the connection?" Ratchet asked with interest and leaned forward.
"I was born with it. When yah's born with a birth mark that looks like a monarch buttahfly on the back of your neck, it is the signification. Yah can't see it anymore, but at night when I was little and could still see it, I would get out of bed and watch it glow. It glows every night, I know it does because I will be awake but I will see out of the cornah of my eye a little blue glow from it. And whenevah I'm around animals I can feel energy pulse through me. But the energy is strongah when I'm around Shilo and Flickah, since they contribute tah my horse whispahin' powahs that they gave me." Sirius explained.
Ratchet was hypnotized and barley caught what she said. "Now that is quite interesting. I never knew that humans could possess the power to have powers given to them from animals. Or that you could be born with them. Especially you. " Ratchet said amazed and smiled at her. Sirius smiled, blushed a little, and looked down. She had seen his eyes a little out of focus as she was talking and was wondering what he was thinking about.
It was only about 8:30 and Sirius decided that she would teach Ratchet how to ride a horse bareback if he wanted. "Hey, yah want tah learn how tah ride a horse bareback?" Sirius asked. Ratchet looked up. "Sure." Ratchet replied. They grabbed some sandwiches and water and walked out to the barn while holding hands again.
They would do this to make sure they didn't get pulled away from each other again. "Shilo, it's time for our ride." Sirius called and Shilo whinnied. Sirius surprisingly whinnied back. Ratchet smiled at her. "So, which horse do yah want?" Ratchet looked at the horses and knew that Shilo was her horse that she was going to ride so he chose, "Flicker."
Ratchet had seen how Sirius led Shilo out of his stall and asked if he could try to lead out Flicker. Sirius nodded her head. Ratchet walked over to Flicker's stall and carefully walked around to the horse's head. Flicker saw this and let Ratchet gently grab his mane and lead him out.
"Flickah completely trusts yah, Ratchet." Sirius said smiling. Flicker rested his head in Ratchet's chest. He looked at the horse then at Sirius. "Like I said, he trusts yah completely. He'll only do it tah the ones he trusts. Shilo does the same." Sirius said and as if on cue, Shilo then did it to her. They laughed.
Sirius then taught Ratchet how to use the mane of the horse and a firm hand on its hip to swing himself up onto the back of the horse. Sirius then did so herself and side by side the horses walked out of the barn.
While riding they ate their sandwiches and talked about how to become a horse whisperer and what you have to do as one when they rode into town. As they rode past the people of the town the people stared.
The 2 had been riding for an hour and was now 9:30. As they rode past the park they heard a familiar voice say, "Leave us alone, Vince." It was Jack. Ratchet, Sirius, and the horses looked over to where they heard Jack and saw that Vince and his friends had cornered Jack, Miko, and Raf.
"Come on, we have tah help 'em." Sirius said and using the manes of the horses, they turned the horses towards the group and galloped over. Surprisingly Ratchet and her eyes were glowing. Vince was about to step forward when the horses jumped over his head and landed in front of him.
"Leave 'em alone Vince and we won't have tah hurt yah." Sirius and Ratchet said in unison as Vince backed up, Ratchet getting the country accent. They edged the horses forward until Vince and his friends ran; half because their eyes were glowing and the other half because of the horses coming near them.
Ratchet and Sirius slid of their horses and walked over to the three. "Y'all alright?" Sirius asked. They nodded their heads and had their jaws dropped in amazement that their eyes were glowing and that they were riding horses. Sirius whistled.
Shilo and Flicker came over. Ratchet and Sirius flung themselves onto the horses and held out their hand. "Come on. It's time yah knew." Sirius said. Miko and Jack rode with Sirius and Raf rode with Ratchet back to Sirius's place.
When they got there they rode back and to the barn to put the horses away. Miko, Jack, and Raf looked on in shock. Ratchet slid off Flicker and helped Raf down while Sirius did the same with Miko since Jack was tall enough to help himself down. The three just stared. Ratchet and Sirius snickered. Raf finally spoke up.
"How did you get all this… where did you get all this?" At that moment the dogs ran in and ran to the three. "I moved here with only a few of these here animals but ovah the years they multiplied and I rescued 'em as well." Sirius replied. "And how does Ratchet know how to ride a horse?" Miko asked. "I taught him." Sirius supplied.
Ratchet walked over to Sirius still chuckling. Sirius took off her jacket she had been wearing all day and set it on the rail beside her. Everyone was watching her intently since there were things they still didn't know about her.
Miko saw a red line on both her arms and that it was slightly glowing red and asked, "Hey, what's that on your arms?" Sirius looked at her then sighed. She was still wearing a long sleeve shirt so they couldn't see the whole design. She rolled up her sleeves to her shoulder and everyone gasped.
On Sirius's arms were medical stripes that looked exactly like Ratchet's! "Where did yah get them?" Ratchet asked with his accent well set in his speech. "I was born with it." Sirius said simply and everyone looked at her. Ratchet walked over to her some more and asked, "Why didn't yah tell us?" Ratchet then realized that he was only a few inches away from Sirius and could feel his cheeks warming up.
"Because I thought y'all would think of it as suspicious that I had the same medical stripes as my partner, friend, and guardian. Yours are also glowin' too, Ratchet." Sirius said while turning down her head. She had done the action because she was embarrassed that she had not spoken sooner and that Ratchet was so close to her.
Ratchet looked down and saw that his medical stripes were glowing. Sirius shuffled her feet and looked up when Ratchet started to speak. "Sirius, we would nevah think that way towards yah. No one would tah anyone in our group." "Thank yah, Ratchet. I understand. I know yah all. I should have thought bettah of my friends." At her words everyone walked over to her and hugged her.
When they let her go they realized that it was almost ten. Sirius and Ratchet hopped on Shilo and Flicker and hauled the others on too. They galloped through the streets and Ratchet and Sirius's glowing medical stripes glowed the whole way while listening to light 'em up. At the last moment they got Jack home right at 10 and right when June got home.
"Why hello. I never knew that anyone had horses. Who are you?" June said. "Hello June. Glad tah see yah." Ratchet and Sirius said in unison and coming forward on the street. They were in the shadows of the street.
"We were just gettin' Jack home so he wouldn't have broken curfew." Ratchet finished and Sirius nodded in agreement. "Oh, well thank you." "No problem." And Ratchet and Sirius rode off. June didn't see that their medical stripes were glowing, nor their eyes.
When they got back they put the horses away and got ready for bed. Until 11:00 o'clock they watched TV. Sirius was leaning into Ratchet's side because of how tired she was and Ratchet had his arm around Sirius. Ratchet noticed the blue light that Sirius had talked about and she noticed it as well. But they also noticed that it was coming from the back of Ratchet's neck as well.
They already knew that their medical stripes were glowing red and smiled at each other. And they also noticed their eyes glowing blue for the first time. "We aren't that different are we?" Sirius asked. "Not at all." Ratchet replied. Ratchet had the animal birth mark too! They said their good nights and went to bed.
Sirius woke up with a start but managed. She walked to her closet and got all the stuff she needed and got dressed in her bathroom. She walked out of her room right when Ratchet walked out of his and they walked down the stairs together. It was 5:15 A.M.; early birds.
Ratchet looked at Sirius and smiled. She was his best friend and she had taken him in when he was suddenly transformed into a human. She had bought him a laptop and all the necessities for humans and taught him so many things already.
He then thought about how he had only let her help with things that he thought that he would never let anyone help with. Then he thought about how she had broken through his grumpy barrier that he had made to hide his nice being and got to his nice being.
Sirius went outside towards the bird house with 2 baskets and a few bottles and he wondered what she was doing so he followed her. She walked into the bird house after setting down a basket and the bottles and Ratchet once again followed. "Sirius, what are yah doin'?" Sirius pulled her head up so fast that she hit the shelf above the one she was leaning over.
"Sirius?" Ratchet questioned. "Oww." Sirius moaned and clutched her head. "Sirius!" Ratchet exclaimed and ran over to her. "Uh… scrap that hurt." Sirius moaned. "Here, let me see." Ratchet said. "I'm fine Ratchet." Sirius said but Ratchet didn't listen. "Please, let me help." Ratchet protested. "Ratchet really, I'm fine." Sirius protested back. They didn't notice how close their lips were.
Ratchet gently grabbed her hand and removed it from her head and started to examine her head. Ratchet then realized that he was still holding her hand. He looked at her hand in his then looked her in the eyes and smiled nervously. They then noticed how close their lips were.
Sirius maneuvered her hand and weaved her fingers in between his. As if knowing they leaned in and kissed. Sirius removed her hand from Ratchet's and wrapped her arms around his neck while Ratchet wrapped his arms around her waist, deepening the kiss.
When they pulled away they stared at each other, and then let each other go. Ratchet whispered to her, "We will finish this latah." Sirius smiled and gave him a quick kiss. She knew that he knew they had to get ready for Optimus to pick them up so they gathered the eggs, went and milked the goats, picked some vegetables for dinner, and left for the kitchen.
They finished their breakfast and waited 5 minutes until Optimus showed up at 6:30; early birds. Sirius grabbed her bag which had Ratchet's and her laptop, ear buds, and computer mice, and they headed out the door. Optimus noted that they were in more of a happy mood and asked fatherly, "And what has happened while I was away?"
"Ratchet's learned some new things." "And what might that be?" "We'll show yah tomorrow, if the othah humans don't tell yet. And if they don't then yah won't have tah pick us up tomorrow." Sirius said simply. "Very well." And they continued to the base.
When they got to base no one else had gotten there yet so Ratchet and Sirius just went to work on their assignments. They had been working for some time when everyone else got back. Jack, Miko, and Raf hopped out/off of their guardians and when they saw Ratchet and Sirius coming towards them they started to say, "Hey there's the H…" They didn't get to finish though because Ratchet and Sirius had run up to them and covered their mouths and told them, "Not yet."
Everyone looked at them then noticed the same medical stripes that were on Ratchet's arms on Sirius's arms, since Sirius had decided to tell them today, as well as flames on Sirius's legs. "How did you get Ratchet's medical stripes and Optimus' flames?" Smokescreen asked as Ratchet and Sirius let go of the humans and everyone perked up at the question.
"About that. I haven't been truthful tah yah. I was born with the marks. None knows why they're there or how I got 'em. But at night, and Ratchet, Jack, Miko, and Raf already knows it, they glows along with anothah birth mark of mine. Ratchet's does as well and he also has the othah birth mark as well. And our eyes glow too. But I am the only one that has flames on my legs."
Everyone looked from Sirius, to Ratchet, and back to Sirius. "I swear they're practically twins." Miko stated. That got Ratchet and Sirius mad, they didn't want to be twins, they wanted to be more. Their eyes started to glow blue. They ran towards Miko, but she ran. After about 5 minutes they caught her after she ran into Bulkhead's leg, examined her, then let her go. They walked over to the latter and climbed up.
Ratchet was working on the synthetic energon when Sirius walked up to him. "Ratchet?" Ratchet's head flew up and his chair fell back. Sirius giggled. Ratchet stared at her with his mouth slightly opened in awe that she had scared him while on his back. "Needs a hand?" Sirius said with her hand out stretched. Ratchet gratefully took the offer and got up.
Sirius pulled a little too hard and Ratchet ran into her, kissing her in that process as well. Everyone laughed. Sirius looked down and Ratchet did the same because of how close they were and that they had kissed in front of everyone. After a minute Sirius asked, looking back up, "How is the synthetic energon comin's along?" "Pretty well actually. I saw that yah had made it from a negative charge tah a positive charge."
"Yeah. Hey, what if all it needs is a negative charge for it tah be complete? Like how a positive charge and a negative charge powahs a light bulb, the synthetic energon could be the positive charge and the negative charge we just haven't found yet and togethah they powah the Autobots." Sirius stated.
Ratchet said, "Sirius yah're a genius! All we have tah do is figure out what the negative charged chemical is. But the only negative charged chemical would be…" … "C.N.A!" they said together excitedly.
"Optimus, we think we found out what the synthetic energon is missin', C.N.A.! All we need tah do is combine the chemicals and have someone volunteer tah test it." Sirius and Ratchet said in unison happily.
Optimus was still smiling that Ratchet and Sirius kissed and smiled a little more because they figured something out together and that they were talking in unison as well as Ratchet having the accent that Sirius had.
"Good work you 2. I will go get the C.N.A. As for you 2, you will take a break. You have been working hard today. I am proud of you." Optimus said fatherly and he walked off to go get the C.N.A. as Ratchet sat down and Sirius leaned against his leg.
After they explained to Optimus how to use the combining system they waited until the synthetic energon was done so someone could test it. When that time came Bumblebee wanted to be the test subject. Optimus nodded and put the synthetic energon in a vile and handed it to Bumblebee who injected it into his arm.
Bumblebee was hooked up to some wires that would measure his energy pulse, strength, and motor functions so that Ratchet and Sirius could keep an eye him. They also tested to see if his comm. link and tracking system worked. Everything was correct and everyone knew that Ratchet and Sirius had successfully created synthetic energon.
"Way to go Sirius, Ratchet. We are forever in your debt." Arcee said. "It's nothin' really." They replied. Everyone looked at them and saw that their medical stripes were starting to glow as well as their eyes and Sirius's flames.
"Hey, do your medical stripes ever glow in the day?" Raf asked. "Only if I get somethin' scientific right." Sirius supplied and looked at her and Ratchet's arms. Ratchet did the same and sure enough they were glowing red again. They snickered.
"It's really strange to see a human… glowing." Jack said. Ratchet and Sirius snickered some more. At that moment June drove in. "Nice to see you all again and… oh my, what is wrong with your arms?" Ratchet and Sirius burst out laughing. "Nothin' at t'all Miss Darby. They'll do that sometimes." Ratchet and Sirius said in unison, still laughing.
June just kept staring. She shook her head and went over to Ratchet and Sirius. "I, Miko, and Raf's parents have to go on a trip. We were voted for Jasper scientist, nurse, author, teacher, and musician. We were wondering if you would take care of the 3 and made sure they got to school and all that. Will you do that for us?" June asked.
"Of course Miss Darby. We will gladly look after them. We will even let them stay at my house if they want. After all, it does have 10 bed rooms. Why I have not a clue." Sirius said and June thanked them both and drove out of base.
At the end of the day everyone went to their separate houses but had planned that Ratchet and Sirius would pick them up in between 8 and 9 o'clock. Meanwhile Ratchet and Sirius were tending to the animals so that they wouldn't have to tend to them while the others were unloading their stuff, but they would come back out to the barn and brush down the horses though.
Sirius had finished watering the horses and turned the water off. Ratchet walked in to grab Astraya and Flicker's hay and oats and saw Sirius. Sirius turned around and saw Ratchet. Ratchet walked forward and Sirius set the oats that she had for Shilo and Midnight Rider down and walked towards Ratchet. They wrapped their arms around each other and started to kiss.
Out of the corners of their eyes they saw that their medical stripes were glowing. "Yah aren't a bad country man, Ratchet." Sirius purred happily and sweetly as they closed their eyes in pleasure and Ratchet deepened the kiss, realizing that he loved Sirius and always had.
When they pulled away they smiled then continued their work. It soon came to 8 o'clock and it had gotten dark. Sirius and Ratchet started to glow. Sirius and Ratchet got Shilo, Flicker, Midnight Rider, and Astraya out of their stalls and hitched a little 4ft x 4ft wagon to Midnight Rider and Astraya. Sirius had made a special hook up to where people could still ride the horses while they pulled the too small wagon.
Sirius explained to Ratchet that since she was a horse whisperer the horses would follow her because they knew they could trust her and as they walked towards town that's what they did. As they walked to the first house, which was Raf's house, Ratchet and Sirius noticed that he was just coming outside and they waved. Raf waved back and together they loaded up the wagon.
Raf rode with Sirius to Miko's house and Ratchet and Sirius again helped load the wagon. Miko road Astraya and handled the ride just fine while Raf rode with Ratchet because he said that he wanted to talk about Cybertron.
As they approached Jack's house they saw that Vince was bullying Jack again so Ratchet and Sirius rode up to them and said in unison, "Leave him alone, Vince." Vince looked up and smiled.
"Hey babe. Why don't you come down and hang out with the popular teens and not the losers." Sirius growled as Ratchet lowly did and Sirius said, "If yah so much as look at any of my friends funny, I will make sure that yah get trampled intah the ground. Now get." And Sirius edged her horse towards Vince who fell on the ground and Sirius made Shilo rear which made Vince scramble up and run in the opposite direction.
Everyone laughed. The horses neighed as well. That made Sirius neigh and the others laugh more. Sirius smiled at her victory and said, "Come on now, we's need tah get back. I still have tah cook dinnah." Ratchet and Sirius got down from their horses and helped Jack with his things.
Jack rode on Midnight Rider and had no problems at all. When they got home they all unloaded the wagon then Ratchet and Sirius took the horses back to the barn. They groomed the horses but always looked at each other now and then.
When they were done Sirius was about to walk out of the barn when Ratchet gently grabbed her hand and pulled her back and into his arms. "Where do yah think you're goin'?" Ratchet said smiling and passionately kissed Sirius.
When they pulled away they saw that their arms were glowing brighter and Sirius said, "Well that's strange. It's as if we have a bond already. Or it could just be chemistry." Ratchet looked Sirius in the eyes and smiled and kissed her again.
Ratchet knew that he loved her and wanted to tell her, but Sirius beat him to it when they pulled away again. "I love yah, Ratchet." "I love yah too, Sirius." And they kissed again.
When they finally pulled away they walked out and to the house holding hands. Miko, Jack, and Raf had just finished unpacking and were walking down the stairs laughing. "And what is so funny?" Sirius asked the group, still holding Ratchet's hand. "We were just talking about how Vince is terrified of you." Miko said laughing. Ratchet and Sirius started laughing remembering the look on Vince's face.
Sirius started cooking and the teens did their homework. Ratchet watched as his arms started to glow brighter when Sirius approached and fade when she walked away. He would then watch Sirius's do the same thing. Ratchet was still trying to figure out how the medical stripes could know that they were in love, since he figured that's what they're glowing for.
Ratchet then got side tracked watching Sirius and he was hypnotized. Sirius walked over to him and said, "If yah keep starin' at me the othahs will start tah get knowledge about us." Ratchet averted his gaze quickly, but his head was gently pulled back around. Sirius quickly kissed him then went back to cooking.
Sirius sat by Ratchet at dinner and their arms glowed really bright, no one seemed to notice though. "So, y'alls' parents are goin' tah be gone for a month, so when your guardians pick yah up from school y'all goin' tah have tah direct them here. And tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday we're goin' tah ride the horses tah the base and tah school." Sirius said. The teens nodded, but kept shoving food in their mouths, and when they were done said that it was delicious and Sirius smiled. She had heard that from Ratchet as well and he kept saying it at every meal.
Sirius herded the 3 up to their rooms so they could get ready for bed and Ratchet and Sirius followed. When the teens were in their rooms Sirius leaned towards Ratchet and gave him a quick kiss then went into her own room and got ready for bed then started to read, but Raf came in and asked her, "Why did your arms glow extra bright when you sat next to Ratchet at dinner earlier?" at that time Ratchet walked in and heard the question and startled them both when he spoke.
"It is alright, Sirius. He can know. He's trustworthy." Sirius looked at Ratchet then nodded. Ratchet came over to Sirius's bed and sat down by them both. "Ratchet and I are in a relationship, Raf. And for some odd reason are medical stripes glowing when we are near each othah. As if they can sense each othah's energy presence or that we are in love." Sirius said and Raf smiled. "I won't tell and I'm happy for you. Night." And Raf walked out the door.
Ratchet said his good nights and passionately kissed Sirius then went off to bed as well. Sirius then fell into a peaceful sleep.
Sirius awoke when she heard her roosters' crow and got all her things she needed, got dressed, and walked down the stairs. Sirius looked in the kitchen to see that Ratchet was up and looked like he was thinking about something. Sirius cleared her throat and got Ratchet's attention. "Mornin'." Sirius said to Ratchet sweetly. Ratchet returned the greeting and gestured her to sit down by him and kissed her good morning.
Their arms started to glow immediately. "What's been on your mind, Ratchet?" Sirius asked. Ratchet looked up and smiled.
"I've been thinkin' about tellin' yah this for a while now actually. The first time I met yah I thought of yah as just anothah human, but when I realized how smart yah are I had second thoughts. Now that I'm a human I realize that yah mean more to me than the world and that I had always loved yah. My heart would break if yah didn't love me the way I love yah. And I don't care if I can change back or not, because I wouldn't because I love yah. I love bein' a human and spendin' my time with yah, and I hope yah feel the same." Ratchet said and gently grabbed her hand and placed a ruby heart ring with 6 clear diamonds on her right, ring finger.
Sirius looked up at Ratchet and kissed him. Ratchet had the look of shock then pure pleasure and they closed their eyes in pleasure. She kissed him for some time then said to him, "Ratchet I do feel the same for yah, I always have. And yah are brave tah stay a human even if we find a way tah change yah back. I love yah with all my heart and I never want tah see yah leave." And they kissed once more.
Ratchet and Sirius heard footsteps and quickly pulled away from each other. Ratchet and Sirius got up and went to grab the baskets and milk bottles and said to the teens, "Mornin'." The teens answered and followed them out the door.
Sirius gave Raf a basket and said to the three, "Go tah the bird house and grab ¾ of the eggs, but leave the rest tah hatch." They nodded and went to the bird house and did as they were told. Ratchet had the bottles so he walked off to get the milk while Sirius went to the garden to get the vegetables for dinner.
They all met back and went in the door. Sirius started to cook breakfast and when they were done eating went to the barn to get the horses. Sirius whistled her presence and the horses neighed. Sirius got out Shilo and Midnight Rider as Ratchet got out Flicker and Astraya.
Jack got on Midnight Rider and Miko got on Astraya. "I want to ride with you, Ratchet." Raf said and smiled. Ratchet smiled back and helped Raf up. They walked the horses out of the barn and started galloping down the road. They passed several cars but saw Smokescreen, Ultra Magnus, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Arcee too. All of which spun around and started to follow them.
Sirius was in the lead and everybot had caught up to her but what she didn't realize was that they didn't know who she or the others were and that they were following her because she was riding a horse as well as the others. Sirius brought out her phone and put on hero and smiled.
The 'bots tried to speed past her but she edged Shilo faster and hollered, "Eat me's dust!" Ratchet rode up beside her with a laughing Raf and he himself laughing. Jack and Miko rode up behind them. Everyone was laughing!
Bumblebee and Smokescreen pulled forward and blocked the road but Sirius and Ratchet didn't hesitate and jumped over them while Jack and Miko went around them. Sirius and the others saw the base and rode off the road and went in. "SCRAP!" the 'bots hollered, but the humans didn't hear them.
The horses ran into the main room and stopped. Optimus was in the room and looked down. Before anyone could say anything the other 'bots got in and transformed and pointed their blasters at them. "Hi Dad… er… Optimus." Sirius said and everybody put down their blasters while she shook her head.
"WAIT, WHAT?" "Oh, hi guys." Sirius said turning around on Shilo, laid down on Shilo's back, and waved. Shilo whinnied. The other humans did the same except didn't lie down. "So this is what Ratchet learned?" Optimus said and smiled because she had called him dad again.
"Yep. He took tah it instantly. I do believe that he is a western. But he does have the animal birth mark, so the connection tah animals would come naturally." Sirius said and smiled at Ratchet who smiled back. "Wait, Ratchet was riding a horse and laughing. Strange." Bumblebee beeped.
"We were trying to say, there's the Horse riders yesterday, but they covered our mouths before we could finish." Raf said laughing a little. "So, as Shilo and I smoked yah all out on the road I was thinkin' that we should have a day with no work but all play. So shall we do it?" Sirius said and smiled at Ratchet who cocked his head. Sirius laughed.
"I do not see why not." Optimus said. "Wait one question. I and the others saw a shadow behind you and Ratchet. The one behind Ratchet looked like his former alt. mode. But there were 2 behind you. One looked like Optimus' alt. mode and the other also looked like Ratchet's former alt. mode. Why were they there?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"Well it has tah do with our medical stripes. They were glowing I saw so that is how I know. And that's all I'm saying for now." Sirius said.
They walked outside with Miko's speakers and Sirius plugged in her computer. "Do yah know the song blown away?" "Yes. Why?" "That song was made for me. Carrie Underwood had met me and helped me and when I told her of my past she wrote the song about it. Everythin' in the song happened tah me that one day when the twistah came." Sirius said.
Sirius plugged in a flash drive and pulled up a particular blown away entry and it said at the beginning, "Sirius if you are listening, this song is for you. I was sorry for your past and made this special for you. I even took the video that you had of what happened and included it in this recording background. This is for you my friend."
The song showed a video that showed Sirius with her hat on when she was younger doing her homework at a table. Her father poured some whisky out of a bottle. "Hey is that history. I was good at history. Maybe I can help." Her father said. "No I'm fine thank yah." Sirius replied quietly but harshly with her accent.
"Really, I am, what subject is it?" her father said and brushed her hand away. Sirius closed the composition notebook and started to walk away. "No hey, hey come on." Her father said and harshly grabbed her arm. "HEY!" Her father said harshly and Sirius yanked her arm away.
Sirius looked mad and her arms, legs, and eyes started to glow. She reached out and slammed her father into the wall without even touching him! Her eyes glowed blue and her medical stripes glowed red while flames glowed red on her legs.
Sirius looked at him and walked over to him. She reached down and pulled him to her face and then slammed his head into the wall. He grabbed his head and looked at her. Her arms and eyes glowed more and she started to speak Cybertronian!
Then speaking English again she said, "I am a top secret military weapon. Do yah think I like it here? I HATE IT HERE!" She pointed her arms at him and they transformed into blasters! She then deactivated them and with the simple cross of her arms made him elevate.
He looked at her and she stared back angry. She pushed him into a wall by pushing her arms out straight at him then dropped him. He got up as she walked out of the room and yelled at her, "HEY, I AM YOUR FATHER YOUNG LADY!" "NO YAH AREN'T! MAMA SAID SO!" she hollered back.
The video continued as the song started to play. The whole time her eyes, legs, and arms glowed and she was crying energon and was angry. Sirius was walking around and grabbing her animals, leading them to the cellar and crated her birds and put them in as well. She then knelt down by a grave and said a quick prayer with one hand to the ground when the song said, "Mama was an angel in the ground."
Sirius ran back towards the house but everyone could see 2 shadows behind her that looked exactly like Ratchet's former alt. mode and Optimus' alt. mode, he has red flames on his blue armor. Sirius ran into the house and sat down by her father who had passed out on the couch and tried to wake him up because she had seen the twister when the song said, "Every tear soaked whisky memory blown away!"
Sirius soon gave up and looked out the window. Then she ran out with 2 boxes to the cellar and again the 'bots and humans could see the alt. modes and she locked herself in the cellar and stayed by the animals, putting the crates and boxes on a horse's back and tying them on it when the song said, "She locked herself in the cellar." They could just hear over the music her say, "Sweet revenge."
They heard wood ripping and a loud shrieking wind. After the wind died down Sirius walked up the ramp with the animals right behind her and they walked out to a shining world when the song said, "Blown away." the third time. She looked over and saw her house ruined and in the middle shards of glass sticking out from her father. Sirius smiled and said to herself, "I'm finally free," they then walked down a road.
Then as the song started up again she hopped on Shilo and galloped away with the other animals behind her, and it flashed forward and showed her come to a sign that said Jasper and she nodded and galloped on.
Then in the picture came a semi, Camaro, hummer, motorcycle, and ambulance that looked exactly like the 'bots' and Ratchet's former alt. modes that started to follow her. Again they saw the shadows that looked like Ratchet's alt. mode and Optimus' alt. mode behind Sirius.
As the song ended it showed her galloping past Jack, Miko, and Raf's house with cops and the 'bots chasing her, and Jack, Miko, and Raf staring at her, but she merely galloped away, but Optimus pulled in front of her but she merely had her horse jump over him while waving towards the humans with her hat in her hand while the other animals went around. She was smiling.
She looked back and saw that Optimus had turned around and started following her with the 'bots and cops right behind her. The animals got behind her again and she hollered happily. She then looked up and saw Megatron's alt. mode flying above her. And right at the end of the song saw the shadow of Megatron transform and Sirius and Shilo stop with the other animals. Sirius staring.
Everyone looked at where Sirius was but she wasn't there anymore. Ratchet walked off and searched for Sirius. 30 earth minutes later he found her crying in his old berth room like she did when he was a Cybertronian. "Sirius?" Sirius looked up and smiled.
"Did that truly happen tah yah? I remembah the last part, when we went aftah yah and yah ran intah Megatron." Ratchet asked and started walking over to her. She nodded and Ratchet sat down by Sirius. "Whenevah I get really mad I can't control it. And if the twistah hadn't have come I would still be in my step-fathah and the military's clutches and not with yah." Sirius said.
Ratchet wrapped his arms around Sirius and pulled her close. Their medical stripes started to glow again and they kissed. When they pulled away Sirius said, "Concentrate on a Cybertronian weapon and force your arms out like this." Sirius said and then concentrated for a minute then forced her arms out in front of her and her arms transformed into Cybertronian energon blades. Ratchet tried and he was successful as well.
He transformed his blades back to his arms while Sirius did the same with her blades. Then Ratchet wrapped his arms around Sirius once again. Sirius still had on Ratchet's ring that he had given her. Sirius leaned into Ratchet's chest and he rested his head on hers.
A few energon tears escaped Sirius's eyes and got on Ratchet's shirt, but he didn't mind. At that moment everyone walked in and saw that Sirius was silently crying.
Ratchet looked up at Miko who was in front of him. Ratchet growled at her and she backed off. Sirius looked up and saw everyone and put her head back in Ratchet's chest. "Sirius that was awesome. I can't believe you are part Cybertronian and that you can maneuver anything that you desire. It's so cool." Miko kept rambling on and Ratchet felt Sirius start to cry again.
He slowly moved his arms from around his love and everyone could see that he was mad. His eyes and medical stripes started to glow brighter and he crossed his arms in front of his love. Miko was instantly hovering in the air. She looked at Ratchet who just stared back angry. Ratchet pushed his arms out strait towards Miko and she went flying into a wall.
Sirius started to glow brighter as well and Ratchet looked back down at her. Ratchet wrapped his arms around Sirius once more and she stopped crying but their arms, legs, and eyes just kept glowing. Miko was holding her head and was approaching the 2 again when Ratchet looked up to her.
Ratchet growled, gently unwrapped his arms from Sirius, and after concentrating for a minute transformed his arms into blasters and pointed them at Miko. "Leave her alone. She has gone through a lot. She has lost her mothah, been treated cruelly tah, and has no family membahs left. Now I will say it once more, leave her alone." Ratchet growled and transformed his blasters back to his arms and once again wrapped them around Sirius who was now looking up at Ratchet when Miko backed up.
Sirius reburied her head into Ratchet's chest but not before saying, "Thank yah, Ratchet." Ratchet rested his head on hers and rubbed her arm in comfort. Everyone just stared. Ratchet started rocking back and forwards and Sirius soon fell asleep in his arms.
Everyone walked out of the room and continued their free day while thinking about how Ratchet had changed. After about 2 hours Sirius woke up and looked at Ratchet who had fallen asleep with his head on hers. Ratchet woke up a few minutes later and greeted her.
Sirius smiled and kissed Ratchet passionately. After a minute they pulled away and went to join the others. When everyone saw Sirius and Ratchet approach they greeted them, but then Miko started running her mouth again.
Sirius and Ratchet got mad and again their arms and eyes glowed as well as Sirius's legs. They crossed their arms and Miko hovered in the air once more. Ratchet and Sirius extended their arms towards her and she flew away from them, but they regained control of her and set her down on the ground.
Miko walked back to the speaker that had her phone plugged into it and selected the song called just the way you are by Bruno Mars. It was one of Sirius's favorite songs. Ratchet and Sirius looked at each other. They instantly started to blush and Sirius messed with the ring that Ratchet had given her.
Sirius looked back up around 30 seconds later and saw that Ratchet was in front of her and everyone was dancing, including Optimus?! Ratchet leaned in, wrapped his arms around Sirius, and kissed her passionately. Sirius wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into the kiss. No one saw this action.
At the middle of the song they pulled away and saw that everyone was still dancing except for Raf who was smiling at them. The song came to the describing part and Ratchet started to sing along. Everyone looked at him but then started to dance again.
Sirius blushed, smiled, and turned her head down. Ratchet lifted her head back up and he kept singing to her while smiling. At the end of the song Sirius kissed Ratchet for the longest time. no one saw this action, still.
Ratchet let her go when she was done and took Miko's phone and put on wake me up by Avicii and started to sing to Sirius then also dance with her as well. Everyone looked on in shock. Ratchet swung Sirius around and around and they were having the time of their lives. Sirius smiled and so did Ratchet as they looked into each other's eyes. They started to laugh as well.
The others started to join in and all the beings fell because they were doing a country dance and Sirius and Ratchet laughed so hard that they almost fell to the ground. Everyone tried again but kept failing so they just watched as Ratchet and Sirius challenged each other to dance, of which they went faster and faster and faster, but kept in pace with each other, and everyone was blown away that Ratchet could keep up with Sirius's pace.
Ratchet and Sirius looked over as they were dancing and started to laugh at the looks on everyone's faces and face plates that Ratchet could keep up with Sirius and that Ratchet could even dance.
When that song was over Sirius put on till the world ends by Britney Spears and the other humans decided to dance this time as well as the 'bots while Sirius danced and sang towards Ratchet and threw in a little country dance moves as well. When the song went to the second verse Sirius started to dance around Ratchet who watched her, hypnotized by her movements, and she would touch him some too.
When the song started on the, oh, part of the second verse, Sirius dragged Ratchet in to dance with her and they sped up the dance to where no one could keep up with the movements and fell down. Ratchet and Sirius laughed at this and kept dancing as they danced and the beings watched.
The 2 changed the movements to pure country and everyone watched excited to see if Ratchet would fall down, but he didn't, he was too country.
And finally after that song Sirius put on come and get it by Selena Gomez and once again sang. But this song was almost completely true to the core if their hearts. Sirius started to shuffle her feet side to side one foot crossed either in front or behind the other when she sang, "When you're ready come and get it." And while she was singing the other parts would dance around Ratchet who just watched her fluid movements, hypnotized, and smiling at her.
Everyone watched as Sirius danced around Ratchet and him watch her. 'A talented woman indeed.' Ratchet thought evilly while smiling at his love and would shuffle his feet as well when Sirius sang, "When you're ready come and get it." In front of her with the same pace. Everyone watched as Ratchet danced with Sirius and would then watch her dance around him.
When the song was over Sirius saw a look in Ratchet's eyes that of which was lust for her. Sirius walked over to Miko's phone and found blown away and cranked the speakers as high as they would go. Sirius said before turning on the music and programed the phone to replay the song over and over, "New plan. We're now playin' tag no tag backs and Ratchet's it. And Autobots can't use vehicle modes either. GO!" and Sirius turned on the music then ran with the shadows behind her.
Sirius looked back and saw that Ratchet had surprisingly went after Optimus who was surprisingly playing like how he was surprisingly dancing earlier. Sirius stopped and laughed. She ran back towards everyone else and silently watched as Ratchet ran after Optimus. Optimus didn't realize that he went into a canyon and that Ratchet had gone up on the side. Ratchet had caught up to Optimus.
Ratchet jumped down from the side of the canyon and jumped onto Optimus' chassis when he sat down for a few seconds. Ratchet laughed and Optimus laughed as well after he hollered because Ratchet had come out of nowhere. Sirius then blew her cover and laughed. Sirius quickly covered her mouth, but the laughs were heard.
Optimus got up and started walking towards her. Ratchet ran out of the canyon and Sirius ran after him but Optimus caught up to her in 6 minutes and swooped her up in his servo. Sirius laughed and said, "Okay Dad, yah got me. Now I got tah get Smokescreen. He deserves it right now… I mean Optimus." Sirius smiled nervously when she corrected herself. "It is alright. I actually would like to be your father. Call me father for now on. Now let's go find Smokescreen."
Sirius nodded excitedly, smiling happily, and they went in search of Smokescreen. Optimus saw Smokescreen and set Sirius down. He then ran off to hide from Smokescreen. Sirius tagged Smokescreen and ran off. And you know how tag no tag backs goes.
It went on and Sirius decided to rest her legs for a bit. Sirius had heard from Arcee that was the last one to be it that she tagged Ratchet and heard him say that he was searching for her so Sirius had herself on high alert.
Sirius listened to the music then saw Ratchet. Ratchet saw Sirius. Sirius started to run but Ratchet just ran after her. Everyone was hiding so she couldn't hide behind anyone and make Ratchet tag them. Sirius kept running but saw that Ratchet was slowly gaining. Sirius ran around the base and to the other side.
Ratchet was about 10 feet away from her now. Sirius looked around for another opponent to hide behind but there was no one. Ratchet was 3 feet behind Sirius and gaining. Sirius found some extra energy and pulled away from Ratchet by a foot but Ratchet had more energy. All the while the alt. modes were visible. They had been running for 10 minutes.
Ratchet was 1 foot away from Sirius and she was 20 feet away from the base outer wall. Sirius was cornered. Sirius turned around and Ratchet pounced. Ratchet landed on Sirius and they flipped over each other and Ratchet landed on top when they stopped rolling. They breathed heavily and stared into each other's eyes smiling. Ratchet leaned forward and kissed Sirius passionately. Sirius kissed back the same.
Sirius wrapped her arms around Ratchet's neck and they deepened the kiss while Ratchet slid his hand under her butt. Sirius squeaked at the contact. Ratchet bit Sirius's neck and she moaned in pleasure. Ratchet growled in her ear, "MINE." "Yours." Sirius moaned pleasurably. Ratchet got up off of Sirius and helped her up. "Togethah we will tag them." "Yes." Sirius said and kissed Ratchet. They walked off and together tagged everyone.
"Not cool." Smokescreen said to Ratchet and Sirius who were laughing on the ground. They had cornered him in front of everyone and tagged him together as the last one to tag. "What's gotten into you, Ratchet?" Smokescreen asked. Ratchet just looked up to him and smiled.
Smokescreen took 2 steps back. Sirius walked up to Ratchet and they looked at each other then smiled back at Smokescreen who was looking at everyone else and when he saw them smiling at him, stepped back more, and Sirius and Ratchet once again laughed.
Ratchet and Sirius walked off and everyone stared. Ratchet looked back at them then, then wrapped his arm around Sirius's shoulders. Sirius leant into the hold. Everyone was in shock. 'Was Ratchet in love with a human?' Everyone thought. Everyone looked at each other then back at the 2.
When Sirius and Ratchet were out of sight Ratchet pulled Sirius in front of him and kissed her passionately. Their arms glowed as bright as ever and they kept kissing. When they pulled away they stared into each other's eyes and just stared. They heard footsteps and quickly pulled away and saw that everyone had followed them.
Ratchet and Sirius looked at them intently and wished that they would leave, but that wasn't their intention. "Hey Ratchet, can we talk to you for a minute?" "Sure. What is it?" Ratchet replied. Everyone looked at Sirius, but Ratchet looked at them intently, wrapped his arm around her shoulders to where Sirius leant into his side, and said, "She's not movin'."
"What is happening to you Ratchet? You are different now. And what was that when you wrapped your arm around Sirius's shoulders, like now?" they asked. Ratchet looked at Sirius who nodded. Ratchet leaned forward and kissed Sirius passionately in front of everyone and their arms started to glow really bright again. Everyone gawked at them.
When Ratchet pulled away they looked at everyone and hit the ground laughing. Everyone had their mouths open and was staring at Ratchet and Sirius except for Raf who was smiling. Raf walked over to Ratchet and Sirius and gave them both a high five. "Raf, you knew about this?" Jack asked and Raf nodded.
"They told me when I saw that their medical stripes were glowing brighter when they sat by each other during dinner last night." Raf stated. Some of the 'bots glitched then. Sirius and Ratchet walked over to them and kicked their helms while still laughing. When that didn't work they climbed onto the 'bots and kicked them in the helm again. They tumbled off of them, but at least got them up.
All of a sudden they heard a chopper and looked to see Silas coming over to them. Sirius and Ratchet growled and their eyes and medical stripes started to glow in their anger as well as Sirius's flames. Silas spoke. "Ah and how is my mutated daughter doing today? And her partner that I put to great use in my test? Or should I say boyfriend?"
"What are yah talkin' about? And we're happy yah did the test." Ratchet and Sirius growled in unison. "You mean you don't remember me code number 567439? That hurts my heart. Now you're coming back to Oklahoma with me, child. I forgive you for using your powers on me and leaving me for death." Silas said and Sirius's eyes opened really wide.
"Get away from me yah son of a glitch! Yah gave me tah the military! I'm surprised yah are still alive! I swear you're the devil himself! Now get away from me!" Sirius said and transformed her left arm into her blaster.
Silas's men shot at her but she stopped the bullets with the flick of her right arm. She crossed her arms with her left arm still a blaster and made the men hover in the air. She pushed her arms out at the men and they went flying. Silas was the only one left. Everyone watched Sirius and Silas.
"Now that is no way to treat your father young lady. But do you remember this; I AM YOUR FATHER YOUNG LADY!" Silas said and Sirius started to cry energon tears. "NO YAH AREN'T! MAMA SAID SO! Remembah that? Yah made me a military weapon, do yah think I will go back tah yah. I prayed that yah would die! When I saw your body with glass in it I almost shouted in joy! NOW DIE AND STAY DEAD!" Sirius said and started to shoot at Silas.
Silas dodged the fires and ran back to his chopper. "I will get you back yet, Sirius. And if you're wondering why your name is like mine, it's because you're my daughter." Silas yelled and flew away with his troops. "NO IT'S NOT! MOTHAH NAMED ME SIRIUS BEFORE SHE DIED BECAUSE I HAD THAT BRIGHT SHININ' STAR ON MY BACK AS A BIRTHMARK YAH FRAGGAH! AND SHE TOLD ME THE NAME OF MY REAL FATHAH WHICH IS THE OTHAH REASON SHE NAMED ME SIRIUS!" Sirius screamed.
Sirius ran off yelling her head off in Cybertronian crying energon tears and from what the 'bots face plates and Ratchet and Raf's faces looked like, the other humans could tell it wasn't good. Ratchet and Optimus ran off after her and the others just looked at her. Ratchet knew where she was going and ran into base with Optimus transformed and right behind him. Ratchet ran into his berth room and just as he expected, found Sirius where she was earlier, crying.
Ratchet ran over to Sirius and sat down by her. Optimus walked in shortly after. Sirius leant into Ratchet's chest and their medical stripes started to glow. Ratchet rocked back and forward and Sirius stopped crying. Optimus kneelt down in front of them and looked at the 2, concerned deeply for Sirius who said that she was fine with having him as her father.
Sirius looked up at Optimus and smiled a little. She then spoke. "I thought that he was dead. I didn't realize that he was Silas, my step-fathah Silas. I didn't even think of the possibilities that he could be my step-fathah. I knew there was somethin' familiar about those scars on his face." Ratchet looked at her concerned and held her close. "He won't get yah back. I promise yah that. If he tries I'll blast him intah the next dimension." Sirius looked up at Ratchet who had said this and smiled.
All of a sudden they started to glow brightly all over. Sirius looked at Ratchet who looked at her and they both had worried looks on their faces. Optimus stood up and backed up. Ratchet and Sirius started to rise and they looked at Optimus concerned. Optimus just stared back.
The light surrounded them and they could only see each other. They thought of the worst and they leaned in and kissed, thinking it would be the last time they ever would. They kissed each other as passionately as they could and as long as ever.
When the light died down they looked at each other and looked around. They saw Optimus then saw something spectacular. They were just 5/6 feet smaller than Optimus! They looked at each other and smiled. They were Cybertronians! They ran up to Optimus and hugged him.
They all looked at each other and all smiled. "Wait, how are we Cybertronians? Can we transform back tah humans?" Sirius asked. "Let's see." Ratchet said. They didn't think about it but just spun around as if going into their alt. modes and turned into humans.
Ratchet looked at Sirius and was instantly being kissed by her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and Ratchet wrapped his arms around her waist. When the pulled away they looked up to Optimus who was smiling. Ratchet and Sirius transformed back to Cybertronians and Sirius said to Optimus, "Dad, yah have a Cybertronian, human, daughtah."
Optimus hugged Sirius and Ratchet both. Optimus let go and Sirius jumped into the air while yelling, "YES!" While Sirius was in the air a blue light glowed around her and when she landed on the ground she looked exactly like Optimus with his flames after looking like Ratchet. "So this is why those shadows were there. They were my alt. modes." Sirius said and smiled.
"Hey let's go terrify everyone and walk out in our Cybertronian selves." Ratchet said. Sirius and Optimus smiled evilly along with Ratchet and they all walked out of the room.
Everyone was waiting patiently and didn't see that Ratchet, Sirius, and Optimus were spying on them. "Okay, so yah walk out in front of us then we'll walk out when everyone is distracted after yah walk past them. I know they'll keep their eyes and optics on yah because they will want tah know what is goin' on. Just don't tell them anythin'." Sirius said as Optimus walked out into the open. Just as Sirius thought, everyone watched Optimus and he kept quiet.
Ratchet and Sirius walked out into the open and up behind the others why holding servos. "Is Sirius alright? What's wrong with her? Please tell us she's alright." Everyone said. "Why don't yah ask her?" Optimus said, surprisingly with a country accent, and motioned behind the others smiling.
Everyone turned around and 20 feet away they saw Ratchet and a femme that looked like Optimus with his flames. "Ratchet! You're back to normal! But who's the femme? Why would you cheat on Sirius?" everyone asked. Ratchet looked at Sirius who looked at him and they nodded.
Ratchet and Sirius spun around and when they stopped they looked up at the 'bots and straight at the humans. Everyone's jaw dropped except for Optimus' when they saw that Sirius and Ratchet were Cybertronians and humans.
Ratchet and Sirius looked at each other then laughed so hard that they fell on the ground. Every human ran over to them and pulled then back up and hugged them. Ratchet and Sirius then transformed and the 'bots hugged them.
"How did you change back? And how did Sirius change?" everyone asked. "I think I know. When I showed yah the video y'all saw the shadows. They are my alt. modes. And when I and Ratchet are in a state of our powahs they will appear. My and Ratchet's love must have triggahed somethin' deep down in our powahs tah let us transform. Scrap. I knew deep down there was somethin' I didn't know about myself." Sirius supplied. Everyone gawked at them then smiled.
"But wouldn't that mean that either your father or mother would have to be a Cybertronian?" Arcee asked. "My mothah. Primus, my mothah! My mothah said tah me before she died, and I was just 1 day old at the time and didn't understand, she said tah me that my fathah's real name, my real fathah, was Orion Pax. She said that he was a loyal man. That's the other reason that she named me Sirius, because Sirius is Orion's daughtah that was changed intah a dog by the story of the constellations in the night sky. This must be what she meant. I am originally Optimus' daughtah." Sirius said smiling happily.
"Sirius, what was your mothah's name?" Optimus asked. "Artemis." Sirius said. Optimus froze. "Optimus, what's wrong?" Ultra Magnus asked. Optimus ran over to Sirius and lifted her into the air in a big hug.
"Oh child. Yah are right; I am your birth fathah. Artemis helped me when I was injured in a fight with Megatron. She helped me and we fell in love. When I lost her I thought I would nevah meet my child." Sirius hugged her biological father and didn't let go for some time.
When Optimus put Sirius down he turned around to everyone else and said, "My daughtah is finally here!" Everyone cheered and Ratchet smiled at Sirius who smiled back. 'I finally have all that I want. The love of my life and am once again a Cybertronian.' Ratchet thought. Ratchet walked over to Sirius and passionately kissed her. Sirius didn't hesitate and kissed him back.
Everyone cheered. "We'll have our alone time back at home." Ratchet whispered to Sirius then kissed her again.
