Chapter 3

Optimus came in. "Hey sir," Side swipe said sitting in the bed.

"You know Hot shot feels really bad about being so cross with he is really quite fond of you," Optimus said.

"Really?" Side swipe asked.

"Yes really you to will start talking whether it is about TV or the weather or something else you might see he is the same guy you looked up to maybe even better," Optimus said.

"Okay Optimus," Side swipe said.

The next day Hot shot walked into the rec-room and got himself an engeron coco-cola. His favorite along with many of the other bots. "Hey Hot shot trying to unwind?" Starscream asked.

"Yeah," Hot shot said. Then Side swipe walked in and sat across from Hot shot.

"Hi Side swipe, Want an energon coke?" Starscream asked.

"Yes please," Side swipe answered. Starscream walked off to get Side swipe his because Side swipe shouldn't be overusing that hurt shoulder of his. "Hey, Hot shot," Side swipe said.

"Hey I hear that the kids went out to buy the movie inside out because it just came out of theaters and they want us to see it with them." Hot shot said.

"Yeah they sure did." Side swipe said.

"Yeah the weather has been pretty nice lately." Hot shot said.

"True very true." Side swipe said.

"Listen I'm very sorry I had been cross with you," Hot shot said.

"Oh that's okay," Side swipe told him.

"This wouldn't have happened if hadn't got wounded in the first place," Hot shot told him.

"Ah man that wasn't your fault so quit feeling so guilty about it," Side swipe said.

"Hey Side swipe can you start calling me bro again?" Hot shot asked.

"Sure bro," Side swipe said. And both began to enjoy their soda.

Hot shot came in with something for Side swipe as he was sorting the mail. "Hey Side swipe I think Optimus is getting sweet on you," Hot shot said pulling out medal.

"Hey that's a purple spark," Side swipe said.

"Yep if your parents and uncle were here they would say you've grown up." Hot shot said pinning it on Side swipe's new medal plaque. The two of them hugged and Side swipe saw him as the best brother a guy could ask for.
