I do not own Transformers. I only own Jade.

Story Start

"Hey Jade, how is work going?" I heard Mikaela's voice yell from outside of the jeep that I was currently working on.

I did get the job at the military base since it made the most sense and it was easier for me to be protected. Sadly I was not allowed to work on any of the Autobots yet, but I had met Ratchet, boy was he interesting. I haven't been threatened with one of his wrenches yet, but I could see it happening eventually. He did say that I would eventually be helping him with the Autobots once more started arriving, which would be soon.

I got out from under the jeep and smiled at Mikaela, who just laughed when she explained I had stuff all over my work clothes and my face."Hey Mikaela, the job is going great, as you can see," I said while pointing to my face. "So what's up?" I questioned as I set down my tools and wiped off my hands. After a look from her, I wiped off my face as well.

"Well I thought you might want to take a lunch break and come meet some of the new guys that just landed," she told me and she laughed when I practically ran with her towards the main hanger.

I had been hearing for days now that we would be meeting new Autobots soon. I had already met all the others, and we got along great so far. Bumblebee and Ironhide were my favorites so far. Bumblebee because he is adorable and reminds me of a younger brother, and Ironhide was one of my favorites because of how serious he was about weapons and protecting everyone. He even started teaching me about some of the weapons so I could help him repair them. Of course, he swore me to secrecy so the government wouldn't steal any of their weapon intelligence, since that would spell the end of the world.

"Hello Jade, glad you could make it," Ratchet said with a polite nod, but his face quickly turned into a frown when he saw a red and yellow Lamborghini driving into the main hanger along with Ironhide and Bumblebee. "Not those two," he grumbled and his hands clenched at his sides.

"Sam, Mikaela, Jade, I would like to introduce you to Sunstreaker and Sideswipe," Optimus said as the two Lamborghini transformed into their bi-pedal modes. "Glad you two are here, safe," Optimus then said to the two new Autobots, who were the same height and looked pretty much the same.

"Are they twins?" I muttered, which drew attention to me from the new guys. "Hi," I said when they kept staring.

"Hi, I'm Sideswipe, this is my brother, Sunny. We're twins. Who are you?" the red one said as he leaned down to get a better look at me.

"A dirty flesh-ling," the yellow one, Sunstreaker said.

One of my eyebrows went up at his comment, but I decided to just give him a nice little bird before smiling at Sideswipe. "I'm Jade, Sam's cousin, and one of the mechanics here, nice to meet you," I introduced myself and laughed at the curious look from both twins from me flipping Sunstreaker off.

"What does that mean?" Sideswipe asked before a look of understanding crossed his face. "Sunny, be nicer to her and she won't do that to you," he said to his brother, who was growling at me. "Sunny," he said again but his brother just looked away.

"Well anyways, nice to meet you too Sunstreaker, but don't call me a dirty human again or you might be missing some paint. Not kidding either," I said before linking arms with Sam and Mikaela. "Come on love birds, I'm starving, let's go grab some food and maybe bug Ironhide," I said.

"Don't bug me," I heard Ironhide call out from further back in the hanger, which just made me chuckle.

After we all finished eating, the three of us were walking towards the main hanger. Sam and Mikaela wanted to go spend some more time with Bumblebee and Optimus before Bee had to take them back home. However, I was on a mission to go bug Ironhide. I wasn't joking when I said that earlier. If he wanted to treat me like a little sister, then he better be ready for my pranks. I had a playful side when I wanted to show it. I didn't feel comfortable playing pranks on the other mechs, especially not Ratchet, but I would do it to Ironhide. I might even prank Sunstreaker if he kept being a jerk.

"Oh Ironhide," I called out teasingly as I walked up behind the mech, who seemed to be growling at Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. I'm guessing he wasn't the biggest fan of the twins either. "Ironhide," I snapped when he didn't acknowledge me.

"What?" he growled as he looked behind him and saw me. His growling stopped when he saw it was just me. "Oh Jade, how was lunch?" he asked as he set down his hand so I could hop into it and he could raise me to his eye level. I was also eye level with the twins, who I waved at, and I resisted the urge to flip off Sunny again.

"It was good. How goes the training?" I asked as I sat down in his hand and looked from him to the twins. I smiled when Sideswipe gave me a happy look while Sunstreaker just scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Same as usual, except now I have to deal with these two," he said.

"Oh they can't be that bad," I said and he just gave me an unimpressed look. "Well how about I watch you guys spar and we'll see how they do against the great Ironhide?" I suggested and laughed at the answering smirk on Ironhide's face.
