(Abigail's POV)
"Will you stop following me already!" I hissed through my teeth, glaring at the yellow Lamborghini that has been following me on my routine Sunday morning jog. Ever since I stepped foot out of the house he has followed me and I got annoyed so I stopped to yell at him. I narrowed my eyes as the passenger window rolled down and he stuck his holoform's head out the window.
"No, it's my duty to watch you so watch you I shall." He said, slightly smirking, and then rolling the window back up. I growled then turned my back to him and facing the alley, and then I got an idea. I glanced at him behind me then ran down the dark alley, laughing as I heard him try to follow and yell my name. As I came up to a fence, I hopped it and kept running, through the alleys. Seeing that he was nowhere in sight, I stopped to take a breath, narrowing my eyes when a black Ferrari came down the street slowly. It seemed to stop right as it saw me, then started to transform, making me freeze in wonder. When it finished, it turned around, and its bright red eyes focused on me making me now freeze in fear.
"Well if it isn't the fleshling I've been looking for. Come here girl!" he said, reaching for me with its long sharp claws. I suddenly snapped out of it and screamed, running the opposite way, gasping as it chased me. I kept turning down alleys and trying to lose it, but it kept up no matter where I went, so I did the last thing I could.
"SUNSTREAKER!" I screamed at the top of my lungs in between panting, I looked back watching the monster, then gasped as I ran into the street and saw a familiar yellow Lamborghini racing towards me. I watched stunned as Sunstreaker transformed quickly, drawing the monsters eyes from me, and then shot him with the guns that suddenly appeared on his arms. I shook my head then crawled away, hiding behind a dumpster, watching as Sunstreaker brought out a sword and cut the monsters arm off swiftly, then ducking as it swung the other arm at him. As the monster brought out his guns I gasped in fear for Sunstreaker, and then calmed down as he shot it with his own gun, making it transform and speed away.
"Abigail? Abigail where are you?" he yelled, looking around for me frantically. I crawled out from behind the dumpster, watching as he sighed in relief and transformed down, his holoform getting out of his alt form and running towards me.
"Are you ok? Please tell me you're ok!" he said, gripping my upper arms and running his bright eyes down my body. I nodded mutely, gasping as he hugged me tightly, and then frowning as he suddenly shoved me away with a scowl on his face.
"I need you to take you to my base, I believe my leader would like to speak with you." He said, strolling to his alt form stiffly then slamming his door shut and opening the passenger side. I nodded again, sighing as he honked for me to hurry up, and then flinching when he slammed the door closed after I got in. After about an hour, it got really uncomfortable so I reached for the radio, flinching when he smacked my hand away.
"No music." He said stiffly, keeping his eyes on the road. I narrowed my emerald eyes, and then scowled.
"But it's too quiet." I said quietly, reaching again and growling when he smacked my hand again. He finally turned his eyes on me, and if looks could kill, I'd be dead and gone.
"I…said…NO!" he spat through his clenched teeth whipping his eyes back to the road. I grinded my teeth, beyond pissed, and smacked the back of his head. Sunstreaker whipped his head back to me in surprise, so I stuck my tongue out at him and flipped him the bird, turning to look out the window.
(Sunstreaker's POV)
Fucking squishie, getting on my nerves, I thought, glancing at her for the third time in the past hour. One more hour to go, then I can get her out of me, just one more. I had to admit that when she escaped me, I was terrified for her safety, and when I saw the Decepticon chasing her I became pissed. Which is unusual for me, and what was even worse was how glad I felt when I realized she was ok, and that just about set my temper off. I was pulled out of my musing as a com came in from my brother.
: Sideswipe to Sunstreaker, are you there Sunstreaker?
: I'm here brother, what is wrong? :
: Oh nothing. I just wanted to see whatcha up to, hehe. :
: Sideswipe? :
: Yeah? :
: Stop being so fragging stupid you idiot! :
: Ok jeez, I just commed you to tell you Ratchet wants to see you immediately upon return to base. :
: Oh jeez, what does the rust bucket want now? :
: A checkup I believe, something to do with you losing a fight to a simple minded Decepticon. :
: I DID NOT! :
: I didn't know that, but I just had to say it, and maybe you did lose! Haha! :
: Fragging idiot, Sunstreaker out! :
I glanced at Abigail again as she shifted, then I realized she was asleep, and I couldn't help but gently wrap my seatbelt around her. After a while we arrived on base, and I stop in front of the main hanger, sighing as I pushed on Abigail's shoulder.
"Wake up fleshie, we're here." I said, shoving her harder, and then flinching when I accidentally made her hit her head on the window.
"Owe! What the fuck dude!" she growled, opening the door and storming out, not even glancing at me. I rolled my eyes and sighed, making my holoform disappear as I transformed, stretching my gears as I watched her storm inside. I gasped as I felt someone tackle me to the ground, then when I realized it was my brother I narrowed my eyes, pushing him off.
"Whattup brother? I see your charge is a feisty one! I like 'em feisty!" he said, slinging his arm around my shoulders and watching Abigail.
"You have no idea brother, no idea." I muttered, turning as Bumblebee pulled up to us, then drove into the hanger.
"Well it seems it's time for me to find out!" Sideswipe said, winking and transforming down, rolling into the hanger. I sighed and rolled my eyes, muttering incoherent nonsense, whipping my head to my left as Dino set his hand on my shoulder.
"A brother is a brother, Sides'. There aint no if, and's, or but's about it. But your charge is something from what I hear of your complaints." He said chuckling quietly, then patting my shoulder and walking into the hanger to wrestle with Bumblebee. I grunted, pinching the bridge of my nose, looking down as Epps patted my leg.
"How you doing big guy? Still hanging on there?" he said, looking up at me. I shrugged and nodded, getting on one knee to converse with him easier.
"I'm trying, but being near a fleshie is hard work. Especially one like her." I said, glaring in her direction, watching as she stuck her tongue out at me. Epps laughed at that, and then patted my leg again.
"Give it some time, maybe you'll actually end up liking her, your brother along with everyone else does at least." He said, looking me in the eye. I looked away briefly, offlining and onlining my optics, and then looked back at him.
"Maybe, but I doubt it, she's a fleshie and I don't like fleshies…no offense." I said, glancing as Optimus made his way into the hanger as well.
"None taken, but even Mirage likes her, so maybe you should give it a shot. You never know, you might actually really like her." Epps said, walking towards the hanger to go meet the new addition, making me sigh heavily.
"If Mirage likes her, then I'm alone in this battle." I whispered to myself then straightened up and walked into the hanger.
(Abigail's POV)
I smiled at Sideswipe, laughing as he told me about the pranks he and his brother pulled, then gasped as I got tackled to the ground. I wrapped my arm around my attackers head, then flipped us, throwing him off me and sliding away. Then I realized it was Sam and I gasped, sliding to him and hugging him to me tightly.
"Asshole! You scared me! Don't ever do that again!" I yelled smacking the back of his head, causing the people around us the laugh. He chuckled and hugged me back, laughing as I screamed when Bumblebee picked me up by the back of my shirt and put me in his hand, whirring happily as I patted his cheek plates.
"It's great to see you too sexy bot." I whispered, making him whir in laughter.
"Hey what about me?" Sideswipe said, making flex poses as I laughed my ass off.
"I guess you're alright, but Bee's the sexiest bot here, and there aint no doubt about it huh Bee?" I said, giggling when he nodded happily and did a victory dance, making Optimus chuckle as he walked up.
"Hey, I'm pretty sexy myself." Mirage said, flexing a little bit too, making all the Autobots burst out in laughter, some actually falling on their afts.
"Oh God Mirage! Yes you are sexy, but like I said before, Bee's the sexiest around." I said in between laughs, wiping my eyes from laughing so hard. That's when I realized that Sunstreaker was watching with a slight smile on his face, then walked outside and disappeared. I grinned gestured for Sideswipe to pick me up.
"What's up lil lady?" he said, bringing me up to his face.
"Take me to Sunstreaker, he just left." I whispered in his ear canal, and he grinned and nodded transforming and dropping me in him, then speeding out of the hanger as I hung out of his driver window yelling that I'll be right back.
"So why do you want me to take you to Sunstreaker? We both know he's not exactly your biggest fan." Sideswipe said through the radio, his tone dripping sarcasm. I rolled my eyes and laughed then looked out the window.
"He may hate me, but he's my guardian and he deserves to be happy too, and I'll try my hardest to make sure he is. Though he makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes!" I said, laughing and watching everything fly by. After I realized that Sides' didn't answer, I got worried.
"Sides'? What's wrong dude?" I said, lightly touching the gear stick, and then squeaking as the car swerved.
"Whoa lil lady! Watch where you touch doll! Unless you did it on purpose, hehe." He said, making me gasp and hit the steering wheel, blushing madly as I realized what I did.
"Shutup Sides', why didn't you answer?" I asked quietly, looking back out the window.
"I was…thinking…is all. We are almost there." He said quietly, going a little faster, and then skidding to a stop. I got out, seeing Sunstreaker's alt form glistening in the sun, then sighing and thanking Sideswipe as he pulled away to park somewhere else. Taking a deep breath and putting my hair in a ponytail, I walked up to Sunstreaker's alt form, looking at the window.
"He…hello?" I said quietly, tilting my head and knocking on the window, then stepping back as the door opened and his holoform stepped out.
"What do you want? I came here to be alone, not so some fleshie could follow me and disrupt my peace." He growled, glaring at you, making me feel a stab of pain as I winced and glared back at him.
"I just followed you because I didn't want you to be alone! I thought that maybe…." I started then glared as he waved his hand dismissively as he cross his arms across his chest.
"I don't need your company fleshie ok? Just leave me alone, I don't want you here, you're just an extra burden that I hate carrying around." He yelled in her face, scowling deeply and pushing her away. I gasped as I felt hurt by his words, then blinked as I realized I was crying, so I backed away from him.
"I just…I just thought that I could make you have a good time too!" I yelled back in his face, tears streaming down my face as I ran away from him as fast as I could, trying to watch where I was going as I searched for Sideswipe.
(Sunstreaker's POV)
: What in Primus' name did you do to Abigail Sunstreaker! :
: I just told her like it is! :
: You're an asshole you know that! She was just trying to make you happy jerk! :
: I don't care! I don't need a fleshie to try to make me happy Sideswipe! :
: Oh my fragging Primus! You are so pathetic Sunstreaker! She's just trying to be your friend and you're pushing her away! Do you know how sad that is? It's fragging stupid the way you're acting! And so fragging messed up! I can't believe I'm your brother! :
: …. :
: Look the way you're acting Sunstreaker…it's sad…it really is. :
: Sideswipe…I just…. :
: No, I don't want to talk to you right now, you're a jerk. Sideswipe out. :
I growled and shut off my holoform, transforming and hitting the nearest tree, pulverizing it until it fell to the ground. Why did I act like that? I hurt her, Primus I'm such a jerk I thought as I fell back onto the ground looking up at the sky. I'm just so confused, I like her but I'm not supposed to. I'm supposed to hate fleshies, but I can't help but like her.
: Optimus to Sunstreaker, Sunstreaker come in. :
: Sunstreaker here, what do you need sir? :
: What in Primus' name did you do to the child? :
: I just told her how I felt…to be honest I did do it a little harsher than necessary. :
: Sunstreaker, this child is in tears, and do you have any idea how angry everybody is with you? :
: I'm sure they are all upset with me sir, I did not mean to harm the girls feelings, but you know how I feel about fleshies. :
: Sunstreaker, they are just like us, with feelings. They feel pain, they feel happiness, they get mad, and they love just like us. You must take this into consideration when you talk to one. Especially when they are just trying to be your friend, as Abigail was. :
: I'm sorry sir, I'm just not thinking straight. I'll try to not let it happen again sir. :
: Very well, get back to base Sunstreaker. Optimus out. :
Primus help me when I get back to base I thought, transforming and speeding towards base. As I pulled up to the hanger, I was attacked, making my alt form fly into a wall. I groaned quietly as I transformed, realizing it was Bumblebee that attacked me, and his optics where alight with fury. As I stood I held up my hands, trying to calm him down before he attacked again.
"Whoa Bee, calm down please, there's no need to fight." I said quietly, trying to look harmless. Bee rushed me, pinning me to the wall and literally growling, slamming me against the wall painfully.
"You hurt Abigail you fragging jerk! For no reason! She was just trying to be your friend you asshole!" Bumblebee hissed in his real voice, making my optics widen in surprise.
"I didn't mean to, I honestly didn't." I tried to reason, but he wasn't listening.
"Of course you didn't! I know you Sunstreaker! You like hurting people and you never care what it does to them! You're a heartless idiot and you don't deserve to be called my friend!" Bumblebee yelled, letting go of me as Optimus put a hand on his shoulder. I noticed Abigail behind Optimus, and I locked my optics with her tear-filled eyes, then Bumblebee picked her up and took her inside before I could say another word.
