This chapter is in honour of the fact that I finally saw "Star Wars: A New Hope" and liked it. I hope you enjoy it.

Jazz supposed it had been a mistake inviting the twins to watch the first "Star Wars" movie with him. But he had wanted to make Arcee feel welcome, and the twins had so quickly attached themselves to her.
And, he had to admit, it was funny that, because of her personality and the design of her helm, Sideswipe had decided to nickname Arcee "Princess" after seeing the movie.
As in, "Looking good today, Princess!"
Or, "Don't bother getting up, Princess – I'll get the energon for you."
Or, "Wanna see how a real mech fights, Princess?" just before getting himself in trouble for picking a fight with his brother.
Even Sunstreaker got in on it, with the occasional, "You better not touch my wax, Princess."
At first, Arcee took it in stride. After all, she liked her helm design, Leia-esque as it was. And the princess had been her favourite character in the movie. Still, she had never found the nickname as amusing as Jazz, even if she knew Sideswipe better than to take it personally. And one day, she decided she'd had it.
As in, "Call me 'Princess' one more time, Sideswipe, and I'll push you down a garbage chute."
