~"Look who it is. It's the Femme freak." The older Red Mech said as he and his friends began to surround me. "I thought I told you to not come back here you freak. Or are you just that stupid?"

The red Mech asked me as two of his friends lifted me up my arms. "W-where else am I supposed to go?" I asked very much terrified of the older Mech. "I don't give a Frag! Just as long as you're not in my neighborhood. But since you failed to listen the first time, I'm afraid I have to teach you a lesson."

My spark began to race; I knew from experience that when this Mech made a threat like this it was never a good. "P-please, I'll leave a-and I won't come back. Just let me go." The Mech chuckled menacingly and placed his servo under my chin, making me look him in the optics.

"But if I let you go without a punishment, you wouldn't have learned anything." He slowly raised his servo into the air and I trembled violently knowing very well what was to come.~

Shoot up from the berth, I gasped as the painful memory faded away. Memories like that would always happen when I went into recharge. And they always had the exact same thing in common; someone was always causing me pain. At the time of this memory I was only a young sparkling and the damage that was done would always haunt me.

"I see that sedative is out of your system." A voice spoke softly and I could feel a servo being placed my back. Looking up, I saw that it was an older Mech by the dull light-green glow his spark was giving off. "How are you feeling?" the Mech asked me as he slowly pushed me back down at the berth.

"Little groggy but much better." I answered which was not too far from the truth but I still felt bad. "How are your optics feeling?" I blinked a few times seeing that everything was still blurry but they weren't in pain. "Fine, I can't see anything clearly though." The Mech nodded and turned away from me to what looked to be a computer. "I sent a few of our team to go look for your optic screen a while ago. They have yet to find it but I have ordered them not to return without it."

I blinked in surprise at how he already knew about my condition. "How do you know about that?" I asked. "They way you reacted when you were brought gave me the idea. I proved my theory right when I had the lights turned off." Looking around, I noticed that everything natural to me. Everything looked like it did when I had my screen on.

"Isn't it a little difficult for you to see if the lights are off?" I asked, noticing that he was moving around slowly and with caution. "I am quiet alright. Until we have your optic screen, I have ordered that all lights are to remain off." I smiled; this Mech was very carry in his own way. "Thank you very much … you'll have to forgive me, I don't know your name." The Mech chuckled and turned back to the computer pressing a few buttons on it. "You can call me Ratchet. Would it be alright if you tell me yours?"

Just as I was about answer Ratchet's question a burning light came from behind him. Giving off a startled scream, I fell off the berth with a thud landing on my aft. "We found that screen you were asking for Ratchet. Little thing wasn't even in the river, it was …" the voice stopped for a moment before Ratchet spoke up.

"Shut down the ground bridge now!" listening closely, I could hear somebot's pedes running and then a loud noise came with the burning light being turned off. Slowly I opened my optics and I saw that Ratchet's comforting green light come into view. "Are you alright?" Ratchet asked me as he helped me up. "Yeah, that light just took me by surprise." As ratchet placed me back on the berth, three more bots came into view.

There was a Femme with a bright red-violet spark color, a large Mech with a solid green color, and one other Mech with a baby blue color. "Sorry about that. I guess we should have called ahead saying we were coming in. That remote control ground bridge really does work Ratchet." The large Mech spoke with a little bit of a boom but I could sense the care in it.

"That's good. Was her screen damaged severely?" Ratchet asked as he left my side for the small group. "Not too much, it just has a few scratches on the sides." The Femme answered Ratchet as she handed off, what I guess was my optic screen, over to him. "Will you be able to reattach it Ratchet?" I asked gaining the attention from the group. "Of course, just give me a few minutes to buff out the scratches and then I can place it back on."

As Ratchet walked off to a different part of the room, after bumping into a table and giving off a few choice words, the three other bots came over to the berth I was on. "So … you have sensitive optics." I nodded as the green Mech tried to start a conversation. "Yes, I do." Again the room fell silent until the baby blue Mech spoke up. "So what's your name?" I was a little surprised that this young Mech was speaking like this instead of speaking right out.

"My name is," "I have your screen fixed." Turning my attention to Ratchet, I saw that he was back and he had something in his servo. "If you'll just hold still, I can weld your screen back to your hearing processors." I nodded and Ratchet placed the screen over my optics. As a few sparks flew around me, I noticed that everything went dark. "There you go. You can go ahead and activate it now." Nodding my head, I mentally clicked on the screen but I noticed nothing but blackness.

"Uh Ratchet, I can't see anything." "Oh, yes. I forgot to turn on the lights." After a few moments Ratchet turned on the lights and I finally got a good look at everybot. There was a Large green Mech standing next to a small blue and pink Femme and a Yellow and Black Mech. "So that's what you look like." I said with a smile. The Femme returned the smile and nodded. "It's good to see that your screen is working." Turning to where Ratchet had walked off to, I saw him clearly for the first time.

He was white and orange and he had a soft smile on him. "I still need to run a medical check over you just to make sure that everything is working properly." I nodded my head and turned back to the rest of the group. "I noticed that there's two missing from here. Are they somewhere else?" I asked. "The other two will be informed of your awakening shortly." Ratchet said as he pulled out some medical tools.

"Name's Arcee, and these two are Bulkhead and Bumblebee." The blue Femme spoke and pointed to the other two Mech beside her. "It's very nice to meet you." I said as I took the servo that Arcee offered. "So, what is your name? You were about to tell us before Ratchet came back." Bulkhead asked as I took his servo in mine. "yeah, what is your name?" Bumblebee asked as he rapidly shook my servo.

"My names Skylight." As soon as I had said my name, a loud clank came from Ratchet's tool table. "Your name is Skylight?" Ratchet's voice was giving off a worried vibe to it, not to mention his spark was spilling out with shock. "Yes, why?" I asked. "Oh, it's nothing. It's a very nice name." Ratchet quickly said as he began to give me a full look over. Ratchet was hiding something, that much I could tell. But I decided to ask him about it later. No need to make him jumpy while he's near me with sharp tools.

Review please! i enjoy Happy viewers.
