3 years/stellar cycles later...
Bulkhead...
"Ok Bulkhead be a good little mech while me and daddy go to work. I love you." Bulkhead looked up at his creator.
"Ok mommy. I love you too." She smiled and kissed his helm. Bulkhead stood up from sitting on the ground and toddled over to a box of blocks.
"Hey you!" Bulkhead turned around and met the optics of bigger gold and red mechlings.
"Those are our blocks! Move it!" The gold one kicked him and pushed him away. He tried not to cry and went outside. There was few things to do but it was quiet. He stayed out there the rest of the day and each time he came back the gold and red mech would bully him even more. He became mean and angry at everyone except his creators and some of their friends.
Several months/orbital cycles later
Bulkhead sat outside once again but this time there was another little mech. He was white and had red and green stripes on his chest. Bulkhead stared at him. The other mech was playing with a toy car but he looked sad. The green mech walked over to him.
"What are you doing?" The white mech looked up at him with scared optics.
"J-Just playing."
"This my place to play! Move!" Bulkhead picked him up and threw him a few feet away. He started crying.
Wheeljack...
When Wheeljack was picked up that day his carrier asked why he was crying.
"A big mech threw me."
"Why did he do that?"
"I don't know. He said that where I was playing was where he played and then he threw me." Wild Flame growled.
"That was mean."
"Yeah and I hurt my leg." Wheeljack picked up his leg and showed his creator a large cut in his armor that was still leaking energon.
"I'll fix that when we get home. Ok?"
"Ok." Wheeljack rested his helm on Wild Flame's shoulder.
Ironelle...
"Glitch! I told you to get rid of that Primus Forsaken Sparkling!" yelled Wheelburner
"Wheelburner just listen to me."
"I didn't want that sparkling, Glitch!" Ironelle looked through the bars of her crib to see Wheelburner throw her carrier into the wall.
A few days later
Bulkhead and Wheeljack...
Bulkhead was once again outside sitting where the white mech was playing. He watched as the little white mech was sat over the fence by his creator. His creator kissed him on the helm and then left. The white mech looked around and when he spotted him and walked to him.
"Hi." Bulkhead didn't reply. The white mech sat next to him.
"I'm Wheeljack. What's your name?"
"...Bulkhead..." Wheeljack scooted closer to Bulkhead.
"I like your name."
"I like yours too."
"Do you have any friends?"
"No. Nobody likes me...they're mean to me..." Bulkhead felt a servo hold his. He looked over at Wheeljack who was holding his servo in his two tiny ones.
"Can I be your friend? I'll be nice to you. I don't have friends either. You can be my first."
"You would still be my friend even though I threw you?"
"Yeah...you're lonely...I understand...I am too. My creators don't care about me...I wish they did." Bulkhead frowned and looked at Wheeljack.
"I'm sorry...I do want to be your friend." Wheeljack looked up at Bulkhead.
"Yay! You're my first friend!"
"You're my first friend too." Wheeljack smiled. Bulkhead smiled too; he liked this little mech. He finally had a friend.
Ironelle...
Moonjumper held Ironelle and she ran. She didn't know where she was going. The only thing she knew was that Wheelburner wanted to offline Ironelle and she couldn't let that happen. Moonjumper's energon levels were running low. Who could she go to and save Ironelle and herself. She had left all her friends and family to be with Wheelburner. They were right about him all along. She would just have to go try to find her friend, Moonracer's house.
-later-
Moonjumper knocked on the door and tried not to let tears fall. A light green femme answered.
"Moonjumper? Is that you?"
"Yes. Moonracer it's me. Please you've got to let me stay with you. Wheelburner wants to offline her."
"Offline who?"
"Her." Moonjumper unwrapped Ironelle from the blanket.
"Our daughter. He wants to offline her. You were all right! He is a terrible mech."
"Come in. I'm sure my mate will let you stay."
"Thank you so much Moonracer."
