~Five days after~
In a dark room was a mech sat on his berth thinking and letting his feelings out. Five days ago, his little friend Chris passed away. He hasn't talked since then. He made his patrols and surveillance shifts but quiet like a stone. Sideswipe, Prowl and many others tried to have a conversation with him but he asked to be alone. The first days were extremely hard to live for the front-liner. He cried and poured his tears on his pillow. He barely ate and got Ratchet worried. For the first time of his life, he felt like giving up everything. Nothing was of motivation.
"Am I overreacting?" asked Sunstreaker to himself, optics shut in the dark. "Is this how I should react?"
Knockings on his door took him out of his thoughts. His brother was begging him to open the door but got no answer. "Is he gone? Sides'... I need you." he said quietly.
"I'm here bro." said a voice behind the heavy door. "I won't let you stay in that quarters one more day. Except if-" he heard light sobs coming from the quarters and just kept quiet. "Sunstreaker, taking it all by yourself won't be easy. Open our bond. If we are the two of us bearing that grief then it'll be of relief for your aching spark. Let me help you." The red twin placed his hand on his chest, feeling the beat of his spark. "Remember the day your cyber-pup died? Back in Cybertron?" The twin slightly chuckled. "Mom and dad gave us that cyber-pup for our birthday. The last we had before to come here." he stopped and leaned his head on the door, looking at the ceiling. "I remember how happy you got. You always told me you didn't like anything alive except our family but that day, you showed me you were wrong. You called the pup; Rascal. You loved that pup so much. It was more yours than ours but I was ok with that."
"Pfff... You were always fighting about who was the real owner of Rascal." stated the golden bot softly.
"No or maybe. I liked Rascal too. Besides, I wanted it to be named Gummy but who won the argument? You. Always you." The red front-liner heard giggles behind the door and smiled. He finally heard his brother giggle.
"Remember when Rascal bit your finger? You were crying like a sparkling and you accused me of the incident because apparently, I put some pup-energon on your finger so that, Rascal would bite you."
"Yeah... I think I still can see the marks of his fangs." said with a grunt the red twin, examining his finger. "But every happy moment has its end. Rascal got sick all of a sudden. Young cyber-pup yet sick like an old one. Dad had to take off-line the pup for the sake of his suffering body." He waited for his brother's reply but nothing came. He touched his brother's weak spot. "It took you days before to overcome the departure of Rascal."
"Would have taken more if you wouldn't have helped me bro."
Now, that was what Sideswipe wanted to hear. He grinned and waved his hands as signs of victory when he brutally fell on his back, looking at his brother. "Oh hey bro! So you finally opened me the door. Thanks... But you could have told me! That fall on my back hurt!" complained the red bot slowly getting on his feet. He rubbed his back and tried to find his brother in the darkness. "Wanna play hide-and-seek? Well... You don't need to hide Sunny." he quickly touched his brother's chest and slightly chuckled. "Thanks for opening our bond." He saw the blue optics of his brother and pulled him in his arms. "Sometimes, a hug is enough to calm the storm inside you."
Sunstreaker hugged his brother tightly and let his last tears roll on his face. It was time to let Sideswipe help him with the grief. Without exchanging words, Sunstreaker began giving part of his sadness to Sides'. Having a bond was the greatest thing that a bot could have.
"Thank you bro."
"Anytime." replied the red front-liner.
"Now leave my room!" ordered the golden mech pointing the door to his twin with an authoritative finger.
"Why?!" asked the puzzled brother.
"I just remembered mom said you were allergic to cyber-pups and that was the main reason why she wanted to off-line the pup instead of going to a medical bay." he said frowning and glaring his beloved brother.
"Hey! Not my fault. I didn't ask to be allergic. Besides, you were allergic to my fish so I had to eat it!" Sunstreaker's angry face quickly changed to a sheepish one and cleared his vocals.
"Well you know... I- well... Karma!" He said out loud pushing his brother out of the room. They both laughed waving their hands to each other. As he shut the door, the golden mech remembered how much fun Chris had when they were together. Many times, Sunstreaker pushed Chris out if his room with his finger after pulling a prank on Ratchet. He wanted to accuse the little boy so the easy target would easily be found. They spent days of friendship unforgettable.
"Chris..." he said raising his head to the ceiling. "Hope you are happy and running after some angels to prank them." he let out some chuckles and shook his head. "What a kid you were."
~Hours after~
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I am, Prime." said with confidence a mech.
"Very well. If that's your desire, so be it." The leader stood up and asked Teletran-1 to make a call. The two mechs were standing in front of Teletran waiting for the phone to be picked up.
"Foundation Make-A-Wish, how can we help you?"
"Optimus Prime here, I would like to talk to your director, please."
"Yes, just wait a moment please." Said a feminine voice on the phone.
They waited for the director which didn't take long. The leader of the Autobots faced the mech standing next to him and asked him; "Are you certain of this?"
"More than certain." stated the mech.
"Director of Make-A-Wish foundation, how can I help you?"
"Optimus Prime here, I talked to you or one of your subordinates two weeks ago. A child's wish was to spend his last week with us, Autobots and-"
"Ohhh yes! I remember now. I heard the news. You did a very good job."
"Thank you sir. About that, we-"
"Oh Prime! Now that I remember. We received another wish similar to the one you just went through. Would you accept the child?"
"Of course! Bring all the children you want!" answered the other mech with joy.
"Excuse me, who is talking?" asked the man on the phone.
"Sorry. One of my men is here with me."
"I guess it must the one who took care of the child all the week." said the man with a content voice.
"You got it right. He is willing to make wishes reality."
"Very well Optimus Prime. You will be on my list of wish-hosts. Thank you very much for you kind action and your love toward those kids."
"We enjoy having those little soldiers among us. Feel free to send us one whenever you want. Just notify us before."
"No problem. Have a nice day you two and be blessed." said the director ending the conversation.
The leader thanked the front-liner for his decision and let him get back to patrol.
~ A Month later~
"Wow! Look at them mommy! They are giant and so colourful!"
"Yes they are my little princess." replied the mother kissing her child.
"I must be dreaming! They are here! They- Daddy! I-" the young child squeaked of joy and jumped on her feet. "Hey you! You!" she called pointing one of the autobots standing in front of her. "What's your name?"
"Mine?"
"Yes!"
"Sunstreaker." said the mech with a loving smile.
"You know, I'm a princess and I love your colour because princesses are crowned with tiaras made of gold and princes are most of the time using golden on their royal suit. Is that black thing on your head your crown?" asked innocently the girl.
"Well... Hm... I can't say it."
"Why?!"
"Because only princesses who- wait... You are on a battlefield right?"
"Yes sir! Fighting leukaemia and you shall be my prince!" said the little girl running to Sunstreaker. The giant mech took her in his hand and bowed to her majesty.
"What does my princess would like to do?" asked Sunny with a royal voice.
"Tell me about you, oh great and handsome prince!" said the girl playing the game. She giggled and stretched her arms. "Come here you prince! You need a kiss from your princess to become as charming as... Uh... As you are!" she said with giggles. The front-liner approached his face to the young kid and received a kiss on his cheek. "Now! Look at that beautiful prince you are!" She clapped her hands and smiled at him.
"She will be in the greatest hands ever." said Optimus to the parents watching the scene with tears.
"Thank you Optimus Prime and thank you to all your men. Call us if anything happen."
"It's a pleasure for us all. Mostly for Sunstreaker. We will let you know how your little girl is doing daily." The parents thanked once again the leader and said their byes to their child thanking Sunstreaker for taking care of her. They left with a smile knowing she would be fine with them.
"So tell me my princess, how should this handsome prince call you?" he slowly walked away from the others.
"Call me Princess Alanna." She said with a huge smile.
"Then my princess Alanna, I shall show you all this castle so you won't get lost if this prince leaves to find a treasure to give."
"I never thought he would accept more children here. He is such a soft-sparked." said Sideswipe smiling at his walking brother.
"Sunstreaker... I love your name. I love when I can see the sunrise. Makes me feel stronger and beautiful."
"But you are a pretty princess!"
"But I don't have hair." Replied the girl with a sad face.
"I don't have either and yet, I'm handsome."
"Ohhh that's trueee! Let's both enjoy a sunrise with chocolates, flowers and a white horse before the little angels take me to God. That would be perfect for a princess like me!"
"Your prince will do anything his little protégé asks him to do. Come on, let's start here." He opened a door and turned on the lights. "My lady, this place is where all your guards rest after battling an ice-dragon. They fight with their guts and don't stop until they win. One of them, took the dragon by his tail and tried to eat it but it was so big and bitter that he just hit the giant flying monster."
