To the rest of the Bots it started with a flicker of gold which showed the impossible sight of a relaxed Mirage with his feet up on the table in front of him conversing with a waist high holographic projection of the Decepticon Leader, Megatron. He was flirting with the Con which caused the majority of the Bots to freeze in shock. Before they could interrupt, Prime sent a coded message to everyone to pretend they couldn't see him so that they were able to listen to what he was talking to Megatron about to see how badly he had betrayed them.

Mirage was saying that he thought that we need to let the Command Trine in on their secret since they were courting their sparkling.

"Why did we allow our sparklings to choose their own mates again," Megatron growled. "Because you love me and you love them, wanting only the best for them" I replied promptly. The same old song and dance any time one of our sparklings start courting their own mate/s. I mean does he think that they'll never leave the nest with the way he carrys on. So I carried them and he acts like he did all the work. If I didn't love him so much I would beat the slag out of him. Better listen to him complain about Starscream when I just about ready to assasinate him so I wouldn't have to listen him complain about his latest betrayal. Now I can't kill Starscream and half the fun in listening to was thinking about how I was going to torture him to death. Now it looks like I'm going to have to protect him and his trine. Slag. "But why Starscream."Megatron was still complaining. I reply with" I think it was the pretty wings and their are three of them to cuddle with."

"You are enough you know that and that you satisfy me. "Megatron replied trying to sound like he meant it.

I took a chance to say, "I miss our third." He finally replied with "He's dead and it's the slagging council's fault."

"Finally you are willing to talk about our third." "I think I love Starscream if he finally got you to open up about our trine since you forbade all mention of our third."

"It hurt too much to talk about; the slagging council ordered the destruction of the docks and he wasn't even suppose to be working that morning except he always was so independent wanting to help provide for the family." "Now he's dead." Megatron was raging at me.

"Shut up and sit down and LISTEN to ME." "So MONEY can buy anything you want so I kinda got Orion, Dion and Ariel REBUILT."

The look of shocked joy on Megatron's face was worth all the money in the world. He hoarsely asked, "What, he's alive and really not dead."

"Yes," I replied quickly. "Why didn't you tell me;" he demanded so loudly I was glad for soundproofing on both ends of the conversation. "You ordered me on pain of torture: read no more interfacing not to talk about our third; everytime I tried to bring him up."

"Well, how is he? Does he remember us? Where is he?" he demanded, showing how much he wanted an answer to his questions.

"First Orion came through the rebuild without significant complications or side effects other than complete memory loss of his romantic past which means that our sparkbond is in stasis til he remembers or we rebond." I answered.

"So he doesn't remember us at all."

"No, not at all." I replied.

"Mirage I can feel you hiding something from me and hopefully it is some good news. So tell me because I don't want to got into you data banks where your missions are stored. Which is how I know you were able to hide his survival from me but I will look if you don't tell me. It has been over 9 million years that I thought he was dead."

"I tried to tell you but you didn't want to talk about the love of our life."

He answered with "I'm sorry, Please tell me about him."

"He's just the same as he was except he is working a different job which I arranged for him. I'm really surprised that you didn't recognise him; I mean you still flirt with him when you see him probably your subconscience recognised him."

"I've meet him when and where."

"So remember when our logical sparkling decided that infiltrating the Autobots was the way rise to be the Decepticon Heir to the Throne. So he began working under a prominent Bot who began courting him unfortunately he only wanted him for a berthwarmer plus pet to used by his friends. So I organised him to be assassinated and you know the saying "I fall, you Rise". It fitted our third perfectly. Also it keeps our sparkling protected even though he doesn't know."

"That sounds familiar." He commented just then there was a knock on the door. Quickly making the holo invisible he called, "Come in."

Barging in is Barricade causing Megatron to make the holo visible again. "Hello Carrier, keep the twins away from the trine they keep propositioning them while I'm trying to court them,"he demands to his creators.

"Barricade it's lovely to see you, stopping picking on your siblings and since when are you courting the seekers," I asked wondering when he was going to tell me since he didn't want me involved in his courtship. Alas all my children have chosen their own mates with hardly any input from us.

"Barricade your brothers are not courting your trine in any shape or form they are just playing JetJudo which I swear comes from your creators code. The insanity is that I kid you not the twins are in love with Ratchet and they are in the process of courting him. Just think the medic is the most skilled available and probably the most dangerous bot on the ark. I mean think about it; you know how someone is put together it means it is very easy to take them apart. So NO they are not turning into perverts who are always jumping on your seekers to ride into the ground."

"But you love it when I jump you and ride you on the ground. Aren't you due to be sparked up this century the sparkling is certainly old enough."

"Megatron quit thinking of sparking me and remember this is about our daredevil twins who are courting the medic."

"But its so enjoyable thinking of you spread out below me begging me or chained against the wall, riding me or your mouth on me while you are invisible in front of my soldiers during briefings. Beside we usually lose because you have such a beautiful mouth and I forget where everyone is and the battle plan; finally have to call a retreat after fighting Prime. Are sure you not a Autobot spy."

"Like Creator; Like Creations. So much like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe you have lost your patience over the years. Yes, I know the BIG MASTER PLAN and this is just play fun. How many have died on either side lately." He teased Megatron. It seems like most of the bots got the message.

"So has Sunny been painting lately and can you get me some new ones to put on my wall or you can redecorate. I mean my bedroom is in silver and blue colours just like your paint."

"Enough do you remember when we fostered the twins out to Kup because I couldn't handle them; Save our third, protect them from assassination attempts and keep them safe from our own fraction."

"Stop loveling, don't beat yourself up. So we gave them away but we never stopped stalking them; remember how we kept having to stop the other from killing Kup because he got to touch them. You used to sneak in at night a sing them asleep invisibly. I swear sometimes as they grew up he was the babysitter I think they were over 50 vorns and we had to seal their memories for their own safety. You were there all though their childhood as their Carrier."

"I love them and miss them at least when they get captured we can show affection to them by letting them remember their memories till we have to send them back. Usually I'm the rescue party for the last few years they actually kept the memories around the Bots except with the courting of the medic they are sealed because they didn't think he would allow a Con courting."

"You know they always tell you that they love you. When they remember they always choose you over the foster parents and even don't get angry when there are deaths involved."

Silence covered the room from all the revelations between Megatron and Mirage about the twins.

Finding out they were related to Barricade who was courting Starscream's Trine and he was quite put out with the twins for propositioning the trine with their JetJude was shocking for the bots and also amusing to those who had been pranked by the twins. Finding out the Twins had been raised by Mirage and Megatron was not so surprising for some it explained Sunstreaker attitude.
