This popped into my head while watching the first Transformers movie!

You all remember that X-box bot?
Well, whatever happened to it...

This is going to fluffy family goodness!

Enjoy!

It just followed me home!

------

It started out as a normal day for Tatyana Topaz Witwicky/Prime...it was sunny...not a single cloud in the sky. She loved those days...especially in the fall.

'Thank you!' She said to the coffee girl as she handed her the hot drink.

'Do not even think about spilling that!' Barricade snapped through the radio.

'Starbucks coffee is way too good to spill on the likes of you, grumpy ex-con you!' Tai teased, pressing a button on the radio to her favorite station while taking a long sip. 'Sonuva biz-natch! Hot!'

'My scanners indicate that your beverage is at least over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit...it surpirses me that your glossa has not melted...'

'It's called a tongue...and there are pretty tough, rumor has it that it's the strongest muscle in the body...' Tai muttered, rubbing her tongue on her hand, trying to soothe the burning pain. 'It's tougher then it looks...'

'The Hatchet is not going to be happy when he sees you drinking that again.'

'Ahh..he can kiss my pink, firm butt!' She rolled her eyes...she had disguised her optic to look like the human eye...and continued to sip at her hot coffee.

As they continued on the path to the local Best Buy, Tai insisted she needed an X-box to add to her console collection, Tai did a double take when she glanced out the window. On the side of the road was a perfectly good X-box sitting among old cardboard boxes and old food wrappers. 'Whoa, Cade!' She grabbed the wheel with her free hand. 'Pull over!'

'What?' He asked in confusion.

'Just pull over!' Placing her coffee in the cup holder, she climbed out when he stopped and walked over to the X-box. 'Hot Damn, lucky me!'

'You aren't seriously thinking what I think you're thinking are you?' Barricade voice rang through her bluetooth device.

'Well, you can tap into my head...you figure it out!' She snapped, gently picking up the X-box in her arms. 'Perfect condition...no controllers...oh well, easily purchasable...'

'Purchasable?' Barricade asked, looking up that word.

'Yup yup yup!' Just as she was about to examine it some more, she did another double take. Did it just blink at her? 'Hey...Cade...'

'What?'

'What else did that cube thingy bring to life in Mission City?' She had heard about that incident in great detail, Sam was boasting with male ego when he told it.

'I seem to recall Sam saying a Cadillac Escalade, a soda drink machine, and...what was the other thing?' He pondered his memory circuits, trying to remember.

He started out of his thoughts when the X-box started to squirm in Tai's grip. With a small yelp, she dropped back onto the ground...shockingly, it didn't shatter. The familiar noise of the opening menu played before it started to unfold itself from its form. Tai's eyes widened in amazement. There before her was the smallest robot she had ever seen in her life...and after looking at it some more with a tilted head...it was also the cutest she had ever seen, Jazz notwithstanding...

It had tiny little fingers, about the size of a human infants, big green optics that blinked up at her with curiosity, and white and gray plastic framing. It made an adorable chirping sound and backed away on its tiny little feet, as if it was afraid.

'Whoa...' Tai muttered in amazement. 'An X-box bot...' It backed away even more with a nervous click then hid behind a trash can. 'Oh..no, no, no...it's okay...I'm not gonna hurt you...' Tai then kneeled down and held out her hand, which of course was her robotic one in disguise...after making sure no one was around, she disabled the holographic image of the skin, revealing the wires and circuits of her arm. The little bot's optics got even larger, if that was at all possible, and it started to move slowly from its hiding place. 'Come on, it's okay...see...' She waved her fingers. 'I'm like you...I won't hurt you...'

The little bot looked like it was deep in thought, as if contemplating if she could be trusted, and after a few minutes...it skittered forward on tiny legs and held it's small arms up. 'Awww...' Tai cooed, scooping up the little bot like she would Annabelle and held it close.

'You poor thing...' She said, looking into the bright green optics. The little bot shivered and let out a tiny little cough. 'Come on...' She headed back to Barricade with the tiny bot clinging to her like a lifeline.

'Cade, to the base...'

'What is that?' He asked.

'The X-box bot...I think it's sick...'

'You mean she, right?' He asked again.

'She?' Tai looked down at the small robot, who was curling into her chest, most likely seeking warmth from Tai's small spark. 'It's a she?'

'My scans indicate that she has femme programming...and she is very young...' The ex-con actually sounded impressed. 'And it appears, she has taken a liking to you...' The little bot clicked and chirped and squeaked happily when Tai ran her fingers down her very small head, much like she would to Annabelle when she was upset.

'Click, squeak, chirrup, pree...' She waved her small arms happily.

'In fact, she now thinks of you as her creator...' Cade then let out a small chuckle at his charges expense.

'Creator...like mother, right?' Tai's eye and optic widened. 'Huh...well, Jazz and I were talking about having a sparkling one day...I just thought that day wouldn't be today...'

'Are you going to give her a designation?' Barricade asked, driving down the alleyway.

'Eh?'

'A name, smart one!' He snapped, heading down the road that would take them to the Autobot base.

'Oh...hmmm...' Tai thought about it. 'Definitely something X-box themed...let's see...' She looked down at the small bot, who was still snuggling into her chest. 'What to name you, little girl...Master Chief?' The little femme looked up and made a digital razberry noise. 'No...? Okay...Halo...?' Again, she made a razberry sound and then covered her optic with her small hands. 'Fable?' Her reaction was slightly different, she didn't like the name Fable...but she clicked excitedly at the sound of the game.

'Right...not Fable, so a name from Fable...is that what you want?' Tai asked, tickling the femme under her tiny chin. She clicked happily and nodded. 'Hmm...Oh! I got it...How about Sparrow?' The little femme clicked happily and clapped her tiny hands excitedly. 'You like that? Well, Alright then...Sparrow it is!'

'Sparrow?' Barricade asked, fighting back another chuckle.

She whacked the dashboard and smiled when the little femme fell into recharge in her arms. 'Well, this'll be fun to explain...'

------

'Alright, Sparrow...' She gave the little femme a kiss on the head. 'You wait here while I tell everyone...mainly you're future Grandpa and Daddy...' The little femme whirred sadly but nodded. 'Barricade, look after her...'

'Yeah, yeah...' He drawled sitting down against the wall and turning on his radio. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her bag. Psyche came running out to her owner and jumped up, placing her huge paws on her shoulders. 'Psyche Wychie! Did you miss me!?' She gave her dog a big hug and kiss before making her get down. 'Let's go see everyone!'

Little did Tai know, a pair of tiny feet were skittering behind her.

Optimus Prime groaned when the two ice cream truck twins were once again arguing over who would stand a chance with his daughter...'I swear to Primus, everyday with the same argument...' Jazz was clearly feeling the same way, except he looked like he was about to beat them until even Ratchet couldn't do anything about it.

'She likes me more, bro...' Skids snapped, smacking his brother upside the head.

'Nah-huh, she likes me more...' Mudflap snapped back, tackling his brother.

'I don't like either of you!' Tai then snapped, walking in with Psyche behind her. 'I like Jazz way, way more!

Optimus smiled at the sight of her. 'Hello, sweetheart...how was your shopping?' He knew that human girls...or half human girls in this case...loved to do that activity.

'Hey, you went shopping without me?' Mikaela called from where she and Sam were watching a cartoon on the bot couch.

Tai jerked slightly. 'It went...fine...'

'But where are your purchases?' Her father asked again. He knew that whenever Tai went shopping, she would always have numerous amounts of bags with her.

'Oh...uhhh...layaway...' She then cleared her throat. 'Anyway, uhh...Dad, I need to tell you something...something critically important...you too, babe...'

'What's up?' Jazz asked sitting next to his 'girlfriend.'

Before Tai could say anything, she nearly fell over when she felt something collide with her legs. Looking behind her, she groaned when she saw it was Sparrow in her X-box form...sneaky little thing.

'Is that what you bought?' Optimus asked.

'Sweet!' Sam exclaimed. 'An X-box!' Before Tai could say anything, Sam snatched it up off the ground and held it by the top. She winced slightly. 'Careful...she's very sensitive...'

Sam raised an eyebrow. 'She?'

'Uhh...yeah, everyone would assume the X-box is a dude thing...but seriously, why not call it a she?'

Sam gave her a look of confusion but he let it go. 'Touché...' The X-bot then stuck out a small leg and kicked him hard in the shin. 'OW!' He yelled out, dropping the X-bow to the concrete floor. 'Oops...'

Tai slapped a hand to her forehead. 'So much for subtlety...' She groaned. The X-bot then let out a loud squeak and then, much to Tai's horror, transformed and shrieked at the sight Sam. 'Ahhh!' The boy shrieked and ran over to Bumblebee, latching onto his leg tightly. 'What is that thing?'

Sparrow then caught a glance up at Prime and her optics got even bigger. This bot was enormous compared to her and he was very intimidating. 'Eee!' She squeaked, turning and running in the opposite direction. But she ended up running in circles around the pillars in the base. When she got back around, she saw Optimus again and squeaked again, then hid behind Tai. Tai glanced down at her in confusion. 'What're you scared of?'

Sparrow pointed a tiny finger up at the towering commander and squeaked softly, her frame quivering slightly. 'You're scared of my Dad? Oh, come here...' She picked up the small femme and cuddled her. 'He won't hurt you...he's really nice...' Sparrow glanced at her as if to say...'No way, José.' She clicked curiously. 'Yes...he is very nice...not like the big, mean pointy one...' She shuddered at the thought of her little Sparrow meeting that guy. 'This is my father...and that sexy, silver one is my Botfriend...'

Sparrow glanced over at Jazz, tilted her head and let out a little squeak. Jazz, who had always had a soft spot for little Sparklings, waved his digits at her with his own head tilted. 'Hey little gal...' The Sparkling giggled slightly.

'Come on, honeybunny...' She cooed to the small bot, placing her down at her feet. 'Say hi.'

Sparrow watched as Optimus knelt down, even then he was very tall. 'Hello, little one...what is your name?'

Sparrow's small frame visibly relaxed at the tone of his voice. It was deep and soothing. She then concentrated very hard before opening her mouth. 'S...Spa...row...'

'Sparrow?' He asked with a kind smile. 'That is a very pretty name.' The little femme nodded with an excited squeak, before turning to Tai and holding her arms up. 'Where did you find her?'

Tai laughed as Sparrow buried her little face in her neck. 'On the side of the road next to a McDonalds bag and two rotten oranges...why she decided to stop there is beyond my comprehension of understanding.'

Sam, who couldn't believe what just happened, just shook his head in amazement. 'This gives X-box live a whole new meaning...'

Tai then turned her gaze to Optimus.

'Sooo...can I keep her?'

Who thinks I should continue this?
Should Jazz and Tai adopt Sparrow the X-box bot?

Just let me know!
