Meeting First Aide
After losing her adopted father Starlight took what credits she had and went to find a medic that would upgrade her into her first frame. She had no luck for as soon as the medic saw her optics they would throw things at her or worse try to hurt her. The lens the Yoketron had given her had broken a long time ago when she was involved with a fight.
The sparkling curled up against the wall in an attempt to get some warmth back into her systems. She was tired and hungry. She had tried all the medics she could find but had no luck in finding one that would help her. She would try one more medic and if not she would go home and find Warpath he was always taking care of her despite his weird ways of talking.
Starlight weakly walked up to a small clinic and knocked on the door hoping that someone would answer. The door opened and a red and mostly white mech came out and as soon as he saw her optics grabbed a laser scalpel from on of the trays by the door and held it in front of him.
Starlight hung her head as tears threatened to fall from her optics. She knew that she had better leave as she wasn't wanted. As she walked down the walkway tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably. Master Yoketron, Warpath and Nightbird were the only ones that saw past her optics.
Starlight had reached about halfway down the walkway when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw the medic with a smile on his face and turned her so that she was heading back to his clinic. Once she was inside the medic gave her a cup of low grade energon. Starlight was so hungry that she forgot her manners and just grabbed the cup and gobbled down the liquid in one gulp.
The medic went to his storage cabinet and pulled out to small bright red energon cubes and placed them on the table where Starlight also gobbled them down.
"So what a little sweetspark like you doing out so late and alone?" The medic asked softly.
Starlight just looked at him not trusting him that much. She had been hurt by medics that said they would upgrade her and instead tried to take her apart.
"I need an upgrade. If you don't want to do it I'll understand." She said in soft voice.
"I'm a medic I made a promise to help anyone that needs it. I'm sorry for the way I treated you before. You surprised me. Let me call my girlfriend Medic Alert and see what we can do. But first let's get you a bath. My name's First Aide what's yours?" First Aide said
Medic Alert was a femme that was mostly red instead of white and had a gentle face. When she arrived she took one look at Starlight and picked her up and headed strait for the wash racks to get her cleaned up. The femme medic was appalled at what Starlight looked like when she got done with her bath. Starlight was so underweight that before the two medics would do anything she would have to gain some weight.
First Aide told her that he would upgrade her for free if she help him around the place. The truth was that he and Medic Alert had grown fond of Starlight. She was willing to learn anything and who knew how long it had been since someone held her.
During the time that Starlight lived with First Aide she was taught how to read and write something that her mentor was going to teach her before he went offline forever. First Aide had come to think of Starlight as a little sister as did Medic Alert. Many times Medic Alert would come over and find Starlight curled up on First Aide's chassis and both of them sound asleep in recharge.
Then the day came the both of the medics never wanted to come. The day when Starlight would be upgraded. The frame she had chosen was a small yellow mech frame. She chose that frame because it was small and fast and great for scouting or spying something she was good at. Plus mechs weren't harassed much as femmes not that she couldn't take care of her own when need be.
The two medics with heavy sparks upgraded the femme that they had grown to love into a mech. Starlight decited to remain nameless until she got into boot camp where she would get her new mech name.
First Aide and Medic Alert got a holo-letter every week from Starlight who was now called Bumblebee by Sentinel Minor. Even though Starlight said that everything was all right in boot camp First Aide could tell that she was lying about things. When medics found out about Starlight getting kick out of Boot Camp because she stood up for a friend Medic Alert had to drug First Aide with a huge amount of sedatives to keep him from marching over to where the boot camp was and killing Sentinel. First Aide never did like Sentinel one bit. The big chinned mech always thought that he was better than everyone else.
When Starlight went missing the two medics literally stormed Metroplex and demanded that the High Council send out a search party for her and her team. The only reason they didn't end up in the brig was because they were still high ranking members of the Elite Guard. That and the Alphas and The current Magnus were scared of them due to stories that were told about them.
Sentinel ended up in pieces thank to Medic Alert when the afthead said the Cybertron was better off with out a bunch of scrap metal.
They were over joyed when the found out the Starlight had been found and was alive. But when she came back to Cybertron alone a little bit later after being found they wanted to kill her former team.
Starlight came up with the idea of disappearing and with the help of some friends stage a attack from a rouge Decepticon where 'Bumblebee' was killed in. That would give Starlight the chance to start over and she did. First Aide and Medic Alert upgraded her into a femme and she joined the Elite Guard.
Next chapter will be about Starlight in Boot camp and how Sentinel got his aft handed to him by a femme.
