Megacycles later the sun rose on a new day.
"Ehhh!" the voice of a young mech echoed as he strained himself upwards.
Stealthblade flattened his back to a wall that was his room, trying to push himself up as much as he could.
"Come on come on today's the day..." he said then biting his glossa as he stretched up more. Then with a swift motion of his servo he used a marking sick to mark the wall. Stealthblade stepped back to look.
"Whoo hoo!" he exclaimed jumping. He looked at all the marks on the wall. The newest one was definitely higher than the last. He grinned and ran to a mirror.
"Well hello there, I'm Stealthblade," he said smiling. He then paused and thought.
"The name's Stealthblade," he said coolly.
"My name? Tell me yours first... Elita? Nice name, mines Stealthblade" he said kindly.
"The names Stealthblade, don't wear it out"
"Stealthblade! Time for breakfast!" Mercystar's voice floated into his room, cutting Stealthblade away from his decisions on introducing himself.
"Coming mother!" he said running out ad climbing up to the table. It was made for adult bots, which made things difficult for Stealthblade, as he was still smaller than a servo at 4 feet. Therefore it was a great climb. However, after megacycles of practice he was able to get up rather quickly.
"120 nanoclicks, you can do better," Stealthblast scolded.
"Sorry father," Stealthblade said.
"Eat up son," Mercurystar said to him softly, but sternly.
Stealthblade looked at the tanks of energon before him. He nodded unsurely and started to drink.
"I am so excited for today!" he said between drinks as he started another.
"Why is that?" Stealthblast asked as he looked at the news.
Mercurystar took in a shaky breath.
"It's the first day of school!" Stealthblade exclaimed.
"H-how did you know about that?" Mercurystar asked shakily looking around shiftily.
"Cousin Steathstiker told me about it when he came over," Stealthblade told them. "Sorry... It was a surprise wasn't it?"
"Son, we need to talk," Mercurystar said.
"You are going to go to school this year," Stealthblast said.
"Why? All the other bots get to go!" Stealthblade whined a bit stomping a foot.
"We were thinking we wait till you got taller," Mercurystar said softly.
"But I have grown! Really I have! Come look at my wall I keep track!" Stealthblade argued, his voice filled with plea.
"No Stealthblade, and that's final," Stealthblast said sharply.
"I want to go to school and cousin Stealthstriker gets to go..." Stealthblade said lowly and sadly.
"I said that's final! No more talk of it! Finish your energon," he said his voice rising angrily.
Stealthblade looked over at the 4 other tanks of it with a pained expression.
"I'm full..."
"You know the rules," his father snapped.
"It always hurts!" he argued.
"Please son... You want to get big don't you?" Mercurystar said softly.
Stealthblade frowned then stared to drink, ignoring his body's complaints. After which he sat holding his belly in pain.
"Now your mother and I have to go to base. Stay here, and I want the tanks of energon we left for you gone before we get home," he said standing and going to the door with Mercurystar.
"I love you." Stealthblade said to them. He only received a slam of the door as his parents left. He sat on the table sadly looked to his left, no one; he turned to the right, no one. He was alone, like always.
