Ratchet POV
I was sitting in my office, when the med bay doors burst open, I grabbed my wrench and was ready to throw it at who ever came into the med bay like that.
I saw Sideswipe, and he saw the wrench, "Wait, wait, wait!" he shouted trying to hand me something. I looked at it, I dropped the wrench and grabbed what was in his servo's.
"What happened?" before he could answer me the med bay doors flew open again.
Only to reveal a worried Jazz, Prowl, Ironhide, and Bumblebee, but a very happy looking Sunstreaker.
"SSS….She...ff-fixed," Jazz tried but couldn't get it out, they all were venting heavily venting everyone except Bumblebee, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.
"She fixed my voice," I looked at him in shock.
"How in the name of Primus did she do that?!" I ran every scan through her. I cursed silently her heart was going to slow, she could barely breathe.
"Ratchet will she be okay?" I looked at Jazz, and the others.
"I do not know, she's isn't looking too well." I put an Iv into her arm, and grabbed a breathing tube.
"Well okay we know the creature is going to offline, can we go now?" I almost dropped my tools hearing him say that, calling her a creature Sunstreaker was getting on my last nerves.
"For that comment Sunstreaker you can go to the brig." he looked at Prowl shocked like he didn't do anything, I growled.
"Sunstreaker get out of my fragging med bay! I don't want you in here unless you our astro seconds away from offlining!" he looked at me and scuffed, but he turned to leave he grabbed Sideswipe, but Sideswipe pulled away.
Sideswipe glared at his brother and pushed him out the door, Prowl went after him to make sure he was heading to the brig. As soon as Sunstreaker left Shelby's optics opened groggily.
She had a smile on her face, we all frowned before anyone could say anything she glared at us all.
"No." how did she know what we were going to ask.
"Hatchet she's with you too much." Sideswipe laughed, I glared at him, but Shelby laughed.
I smiled at her along with Jazz, Sideswipe smirked at Shelby, I looked at Shelby then to Sideswipe.
Normal POV
"Can I go Ratchet?" he growled, I gave him my kicked puppy look. He turned away from me, he finally growled in defeat.
"Fine," he gruffed, and stormed to his office.
"I a m'ssion see ya Tiga." I looked shocked, Jazz only smirked and left.
"Come on let's go." I got into Sideswipe's servo I held on to my Iv pole.
"No Sparring!" Ratchet yelled, I laughed at him.
"Okay." I told him Sideswipe placed my on his shoulder.
We went to the rec room, it was empty the way I liked it.
"Why do you like Ratchet as your sire?" I shrugged, I guess I never really thought about it.
"I don't know I just do." I have no idea why we were talking Kaonian, but we were.
"There has to be a reason, there's a reason for everything, right?" I looked at him, and shook my helm at him.
"No. Sunstreaker hates me for no reason, I saved Jazz for no reason, I fixed Bumblebee voice for no reason, sometimes you don't need a reason for why you do something." I stared at him for a minute, I like that answer I had some pretty good reasons to.
"I guess your right you don't need a reason for everything" I nodded at him.
"I'm fragging bored." I whined dramatically Sideswipe laughed.
"Well you want to go for a drive?" I looked at him for a long minute.
"As long as you go fast." I chirped I took out my Iv, and hopped into his alt mode, and we left.
Sideswipe sped out of the base, I had a smile on my face chanting for him to go faster, and he would do just that. I laughed with Sideswipe.
"Why is speed so funny?" Sideswipe asked me.
"I don't know it just is." I giggled, I frowned seeing the bright flashy gold paint.
He drove right into front of us, Sideswipe had to hit the brakes hard sending us spinning, my heart dropped beating painfully fast. My eyes watered in pain, I knew if it didn't slow down soon I would get a blood clot and die.
Luckily Sideswipe came to a stop just in time, "Are you okay Shelby?" I pulled on the door.
He opened it I fell to the ground and clutching my chest, in pain trying my best to slow it.
Sire was my only thought.
~What is the matter Shelby?~ I flinched 'bond' I nodded.
~ Sunstreaker just drove in front of Sideswipe heart going too fast…..hhh….hhhurts.~
~Prowl is on his way.~
I looked at Sideswipe in pain, I tried to sit up but that was not happening I looked to Sideswipe with pained eyes, I turned to look at Sunstreaker with a glare.
"Sideswipe your…...fun and all….. but I don't think…...we should be friends…...not with him…...always near you." I said in pain. Sideswipe blinked at me for a minute he let his helm hang low.
"I understand." I gave him a pitying look.
"Hey but if you know he won't be around then we can hang out as much as you want," I smiled he smirked and nodded. Prowl came speeding down he transformed setting a glare on Sunstreaker.
"Are you okay Shelby?" I nodded.
"I just need to rest that's all." he nodded he grabbed Sunstreaker and dragged him away. I smiled at Sideswipe one last time before I headed towards the base.
I went into the empty Rec room, I decided to watch some of my spars to improve my fights. I couldn't even manage to watch even one without feeling like a monster.
An idea popped into my head, if I couldn't spar to relax I would listen to music and maybe sing a little. I looked through my playlist searching for the perfect song.
I smiled down at my phone perfect.
~The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged
but I can't control it
So stay away from me
the beast is ugly~
This song was perfect for how I was feeling, I found a microphone and started to sing in the mic. I ricked my helm to the beat, a frown on my face. I shut my eyes, ever one of my spars running through my mind, and it added to the feeling.
~It comes awake
and I can't control it
hiding under the bed
in my body
in my head
why won't somebody come
and save me from this
make it end
I feel it deep within
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
feel like a monster~
Hot tears poured down my eyes, that's what I was a monster and it was slowly taking over me. I let the chorus play by itself
~I hate what I become
the nightmare just begun
I must confess that I
feel like a monster~
I didn't hear the door to the rec room open I was too lost in the song, so I was shocked to hear Sideswipe and Jazz backing me up. I turned to look at them as Sideswipe took it away.
~My secret side I keep
hide under lock and key
I keep it caged
but I can't control it
because if I let him out
he'll tear me up
break me down
why won't somebody
come and save me
from this make it end
I feel it deep within
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that
I feel like a monster~
Me and Jazz jumped in for the next verse, we all sang in unison it sounded perfect.
~I hate what I've become
the nightmare just begun
I must confess that
I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that
I feel like a monster~
The karaoke version I got sung this part for us, I tapped my foot to the beat waiting for my cue to start again.
~It's hidden in the dark
its teeth are razor sharp
there's no escape for me
it wants my soul
it wants my heart
no one can hear scream
maybe it's just dream
maybe it's inside of me
stop this monster
I feel it deep within
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess~
The awesome growl ripped through the speakers sending a smile across my face. Sideswipe and Jazz were jamming out with me, I laughed as they listen to the growl of a monster.
~I hate what I become
the nightmare just begun
I must confess that
I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that
I feel like a monster
I'm trying to lose control
here's something radical
I must confess that
I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster~
We end the song together, I smiled yeah I felt much better.
~It's better than you sparing and killing yourself.~ I shook my head.
I looked around for a bit, there was new bots, Jazz must have, had a recon mission. I put the mic back down and headed to the med bay, I wanted to discuss something with Ratchet.

Subject AN...
Opening transmission-
I love Skillet I really do. Who's curious about her dying I know I am? Funny how she has become one of Sideswipe's friends only him to lose her because of his brother. I believe there is now tension between the two now. It's only going to get worst in the next chapter so much worst. Just to tell you this is a romance story well it will be, eventually.
More Family though, you will soon see what I mean.
Well R&R
