Chapter 7: Sparks within
So so sorry it has been, yet again, a while...my silly kitten decided to cut open her leg and cut a muscle. No idea how she did it, something from outside XC Poor thing, has her cone/collar back on again ._. But she is getting better.

Please review guys! I love reading them to know what you all think!
_
Sideswipe looked down at Charlotte "Wait? You know that guy?"
"Unfortunately. Yeah" She bit her lip, tightening her grip on his giant finger.
"Wait, is that the dude who me and Sunny saw with you? The other day, i think it was"
"Yeah. Jay, the guy who gave me a bike..which is now also crush- Waait, how did...you..know him?"
"Oh...well. I'll say another time. One minute" Sides put up one finger to Charlotte, then put it to his Audio Finn. He was comm linking Optimus. Sideswipe at first rolled his eyes and shook his head, where Prime was lecturing him, before Sides could even tell him why he comm linked him.
Charlotte looked back to Jay and the con, as Jay said earlier 'Starscream'. She frowned, Jay was her friend, and he was with the Decepticons! Does he even know what the Decepticons wanted?
"Okay, Charlotte wait here, alright?" Sideswipe looked sternly at Charlotte "Kept quiet, and don't move!" He gently placed her down on the floor. "Optimus said there is a few bots on patrol, not to far from here. We...well i just have to wait, then i can gank the fraggin con"
Charlotte nodded up to him "What am i suppose do?"
"I just told you Charlotte!" Sides face palmed.
"I meant to help...i cant stand here and watch you guys!" Charlotte frowned.
Sideswipe rose an eyebrow "Shorty, there's not much you can do. That is fraggin Starscream. His like really loyal to Megatron"
Charlotte looked over to Starscream, who was currently examining the cop bot. "Dude looks like a overgrown Dorito to me" Charlotte shrugged.
Sideswipe hade to cover his mouth, so he didn't burst out laughing "Shorty! Don't make me laugh, were in a serious situation right now" He comm linked the patrol, to hurry them all up.
"Alright, who is on patrol?" He asked through the comm. Answering him was Prowl and Arcee. Sideswipe nodded "Just be quick, Starscream could flee at any moment" He moved his hand, looking down for Charlotte. "Charlie?" He looking behind him, then under his legs "Charlotte!?" He whispered a yell. Looking all around him for her.
Charlotte slowly crept behind Jay, her fist clenched, she hated him now. He was working with the freakin' Decepticons, that was worst than anything. She was now standing a few feet away from him, she signed and spoke up "I trusted you..."
Jay tilted his head at Starscream who was knelt beside Barricade, trying to online him again somehow. "Did you say something?"
Charlotte clenched her fist tightening "I trusted you!" She said louder.
Jay blinked and spun on his heel, looking down at Charlotte "Why hello there. Well its your fault for trusting...well me. Oh gosh this is painful" He chuckled.
Charlotte growled. "No, but this will be" She ran forward, kicked her left leg back and aiming for that special little place between the legs.
Jay rolled his eyes at her, easily catching her ankle and twisting her leg around so her back was too him. Charlotte balancing on her one leg "Nice try, but i don't see any pain. Here let me help" He grinned, sticking out his foot, and kicking out her leg that she was standing on.
Charlotte felt her face hit the floor before she could put out her arms. She felt pain shot through her stomach and ribs as it took a lot of impact. "Argh!" She groaned as she tried to sit up.
Jay grinned and turned his attention to Starscream "Starscream, i believe i found something for you. You can have her" He gestured his hand to Charlotte, who was still lying on her front, groaning and clutching her ribs.
Starscream looked up from Barricade "We can just take him back to Megatron, his parts could be quite helpful..." He looked down at Charlotte "Is this the little fleshling?" He grinned, stepping over Charlotte and gripping his hand around her waist. Lifting her to his face "Why its a femme"
"You let me go!" She yelled at him, wiggling her arms and legs, trying to losen his grasp.
"Oh..i think not insect" He grinned tightening his fist, feeling her tense, and feeling her ribs slowly crush in his palm.
Charlotte nearly screamed "I...cant breath! Stop! You have to!" Charlotte closed her eyes, her ribs wasn't broken, she could tell that. But if he squeezed any tighter, they sure well could be. "SIDESWIPE!" She yelled, it was the only thing she could think of.
Sideswipe heard Charlotte call for him. He quickly looked up and saw that fraggin con had her. He knew he was supposed to wait for Prowl and Arcee, but he had to go.
He ran as fast as he could, pouncing on top of Starscream. Pinning him down, he pushed hard on his shoulders "Give me her!" He looked at Starscreams hand, which unfortunately was not letting go of Charlotte.
Charlotte head rolled a little to one side, to her, when Sideswipe pinned Starscream down, must of been like falling from a great height, then Starscream hand hitting the fall and tightening his grasp must have been a big impact.
Sideswipe had to hurry, he transformed his servo into a canon and held it to Starscream helm "Let her go...NOW!" He roared. Just as he yelled, Prowl and Arcee ran into the scene, dashing straight to Starscream and Sideswipe.
Prowl immediately growled "Sideswipe! What was you thinking!? Your suppose to wait!"
"He had her! I couldn't!"
Arcee looked at Jay, who was attempting to flee "I'll get the human" She sped off towards him.
While Sideswipe held an angry Starscream down. Prowl wrenched open his servo, carefully but quickly lifting Charlotte out, and laying her out of harms way behind her. Sideswipe let his gaurd down to look at Prowl, to ask if she was alright, where he received a punch to the helm from Starscream.
Prowl quickly grabbed Starscream arms, while Sideswipe pointed his canon at him.
Charlotte eyes started to open, she looked up to the blurry scene. She saw Jay frozen still, scared while Arcee held at gun at him "Don't move human!" Is what Charlotte heard. She pushed herself to her feet and saw Sides and Prowl, who seemed to have Starscream under control.
Arcee noticed Charlotte and threw her a 45, she found it from Jays pockets. Tossing it towards Charlotte "Make yourself useful" Arcee smiled at her.
Charlotte grinned "You mean..i can help" She ignored the pains in her ribs, and the slight dizziness in her head. She remembered what Ironhide showed her. She quickly turned off the safety and aimed at the cons optics. She breathed slowly and shot. Starscream yelled holding is left optic "My eye!" He glared down at Charlotte, angrily pushing the two Autobots away, and ran towards Charlotte.
"You glitch head fleshling! I'll send you to the pit! Your like a filthy Autoscum!"
"I have no idea what anyway of that meant!" She laughed, happy that she succeeded at her first shoting at a con.
Starscream saw the two Autoscums charging and shooting at him already "Another time fleshy. I'll tear you apart!" He spat before, grabbing Jay from Arcee, transforming, and fleeing from the scene.
Arcee quickly looked too Sideswipe and Prowl "Quickly, which one of you is stronger!"
Prowl and Sideswipe tilted their helms at the femme. "Excuse me?" They both asked.
"The stronger one! Quickly, you can toss me at Starscream, i can easily pull him down. Now hurry!"
Prowl hesitated "I can't toss a femme. Its not right" Sideswipe nodded in agreement to Prowl "You'll get another chance Arcee."
Arcee growled as Starscream and the human as they flew out of sight "Urgh Mechs!" She flung up her arms and looked down to Charlotte "Good shot"
"Thanks!"
(Diego Garcia, N.E.S.T. Base)
"What was you both thinking!?"
Sideswipe was stood in the middle of Optimus' hangar, his helm looking downwards, while he shuffled his feet "I..i thought i could take her for a ride. It was all my fault Prime.." Sides signed.
Charlotte was stood on what seemed to be a giant desk. It was probably made by the Bots, so they had furniture in their own size. Optimus' desk was place near the left of the hangar. Charlotte heard Sides words and quickly shouted out "No it was not! Its all my fault! All for a stupid photograph, i could easily got it myself"
Optimus' turned and looked down at the small blonde "I think not, it was safer for you to be with an Autobot. And if you recall, your guardian is Sideswipe. But as you both seem to say its both your own fault, i cannot tell whose it was." He glanced to Sides then Charlotte.
Sideswipe shook his helm "No, don't listen to her! Shes just trying to cover up for me! Which she shouldn't. She sounded sad and depressed, so i thought that receiving the photograph would cheer her up..im sorry, i should have never left base without permission"
Charlotte tilted her head at Sideswipe. Why was her covering up for her, she begged Sides to take her home, so she could get her photo "No..his lying! It was my choice!" Charlotte waved her arms to get Optimus' attention.
The Prime shook his helm, they both was taking blame and saying that each was covering up "Okay, okay. Don't worry. I think its clear you both probably choose to leave. I'm not gonna punish you both. Even though Prowl might have wanted to throw you in the brig, Sideswipe. I'm just going to say this: Please do not leave N.E.S.T premises without permission, or Autobot with you" He looked at them both.
Sideswipe looked up "Can we go now?"
Optimus nodded, opening the door for them both.
Sideswipe walked over to the desk, stepping on his tip toes like a kid, Optimusis a whole lot taller than the other bots, he stood at atleast 30 feet high, so Sides had to reach up. Reaching out his servo for Charlotte, she hesitatingly stepped on and kept her head turned away from him. She wanted to speak to him alone, out of the Primes audio Finn shot.
As soon as Sideswipe was now down the hall a long ways from Primes hangar, Charlotte turned around, crossing her arms at him "Sideswipe! What the hell!? It was all my fault..and you went and took blame?"
Sideswipe shrugged, glancing down at Charlotte "Your my friend, i couldn't let you get into trouble" He said simply, heading towards the main Autobot hanger.
"Yeah, but i should have got into trouble, i wanted..i asked you to take me home. So i get my Mothers picture.." She frowned.
"Yes you did. But i shouldn't have agreed. So its partly my fault as well. Being your Gaurdian, i should have not took you. Okay?"
Charlotte pouted, feeling beat "Fine...i suppose so"
Sideswipe walked into the main hanger, spotting his brother across the room, with a few paces Sideswipe was at his brothers side "Hey Sunny!"
Sunstreaker glared at Sideswipe "Don't call me that! And shouldn't you be in the brig now? I'm sure Prowler would love to toss your aft in" Sunstreaker smiled.
Charlotte signed "Hey! Sunburn! It wasn't your twins fault. It was mine..don't blame him"
Sunstreaker glared down at the human "What did you just call me? And of course its your fault, humans make a lot of stupid mistakes. Then again, being Gaurdian, Sides shouldn't have listened to you. I wouldn't"
Charlotte tilted her head a little "Okay. Well then your an awesome Gaurdian, Sunstreaker!"
Sunstreaker straightened himself "Why thank you, fleshling" He sat down on the giant looking sofa behind him. Sideswipe joined him, placing Charlotte on his shoulder.
"Are you feeling alright Sunny?"
"Of course i am Sides, why wouldn't i?"
"You just thanked a human" Sideswipe laughed.
Sunny rolled his eyes "Whatever"
Charlotte signed, swinging her legs as she sat on Sides shoulder, she put her elbows on her knees, and placed her chin in her hands. Watching everyone around her. She had to admit she was quite tired now. She could do with a rest. She yawned thinking about it. Charlotte sat back up and rubbed her eyes, leaning her head against Sideswipes a little.
Charlotte then noticed two Soilders, arguing a little to each other as they walked into the hanger. Charlotte sat up yet again, and watched them. One was a bit taller than the other, he had brown hair and was large-ish. The other was smaller, and seemed to have a female figure. Charlotte furrowed her eyebrows, she didn't know N.E.S.T had females. The female soilder, had short messy red hair. That suited her perfectly. Charlotte thought that she could do with talking to her own kind for a bit. "Hey Sides? Can you put me down a minute, please?" She stood up, looking down his shoulder.
Sideswipe turned his head to Charlotte "Well, seemed you asked politely" He teased, holding out his servo, and gently placing Charlotte on the floor "Hey, no leaving this hangar. I'll probably will get into trouble, if you get lost"
Charlotte saluted Sideswipe "Yes sir!" She giggled, turning on her heel and walked up to the N.E.S.T couple, so she could greet them.
Sunstreaker raised an eyebrow at Sideswipe as he watched Charlotte "You really like this human, don't you?"
"What?"
"Sides, come on. Don't play dumb, she was resting her head against you! And you allowed her to. Come on, she obviously trust you"
Sideswipe pushed his brother shoulder "Whatever!"
Sunstreaker smirked, and pushed him back. Looking over to Charlotte "Looks like our little femme is making friends. Shall we join her?" Sunstreaker stood and transformed into his , his holoform, stood leaning against his own hood.
Sideswipe copied his brother, but is holoform appeared stood on the roof of his alt mode, striking a pose. Sunstreaker rolled his blue eyes, grabbing his brother and dragging him towards Charlotte.
Charlotte walked up to the soilders. "Hello!" She waved her hand, greeting them "I'm Charlotte" She stuck out her hand.
The brown haired guy, smiled shaking her hand "I'm Jerry." He had dark brown eyes, that made him look cute. He was young, but had muscles. The girl stood next to him had bright green eyes, and dark red hair, she had a small amount of freckles, she was so pretty, but she also looked quite tough. Like she could take anyone down easily.
"I'm Melody" She waved at Charlotte. "Are you a N.E.S.T soilder, too?" She asked.
"On no.. I'm not" Charlotte smiled "I basically had a few run in's with Decepticons..not fun" She rolled her eyes.
Jerry chuckled "Me and Melody are quite new her, we haven't had a chance to smite any Decepticons yet. Well i will anyway" He grinned.
Melody pursed her lips "Yeah, i trained to fly the jets. Not combat, but apparently the one Bot says i have to, because you never know when i need to use a gun"
Charlotte smiled, remembering shooting Starscream's one eye "Oh you never know. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you two?"
Jerry jabbed a thumb to his chest "I'm 24"
"I'm 23" Melody grinned.
Charlotte nodded "Awesome, im..erm 16. But i would love to work for N.E.S.T...somehow"
Charlotte felt a pair of arms, wrap around her. One under her arm, the other under the other arm, lifting her into the air with ease. Charlotte rolled her eyes, seeing Sunny and Sides, in their holoform, lifting her into the air.
"You don't need a job!" Sunstreaker smiled.
Sideswipe stuck out his tongue "Yeah, your job is taking care of your favorite bots!"
"My favourite bot will be Ironhide, if you two don't put me down!"
Sunny and Sides laughed and placed Charlotte down. Sideswipe ruffling her hair.
Jerry scrunched up his nose "Ironhide...how do you possibly get along with him? His so..growly and shouty..."
Melody giggled at Jerry "Ignore him..he just failed to impress the big bot"
Charlotte smiled "You missed your shot? I didn't!" She grinned "Plus, i think it my accent. Very similar to Ironhide's, if you haven't noticed"
Sides reached over and ruffled Jerry's hair "Don't worry, you'll get use to Hide"
Jerry nodded at Charlotte "Yes, British...i defiantly knew that" He rosed and eyebrow at Sides "Hey! Don't touch the hair" he chuckled.
Melody rolled her eyes, pushing Jerry's shoulder "Ignore him, i bet he doesn't even know who you two are?" She pointed at the Lambo twins.
"What? Of course i do. Their obviously fellow soilders"
Charlotte giggled, looking at Sides then Sunny, who was stood either side of her "In way..yes"
Sunstreaker rolled his eyes at Jerry "Pathetic fleshy, you cant even tell the difference from you own kind, to a Cybertronian"
"Wait? your one of the bots?" He pointed at Sunny.
Melody rolled her eyes "Duh!"
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker both disabled their holoforms back into their alt modes, and driving up to the three humans. Circling them, until Jerry got a bit dizzy watching.
"Okay, okay! I see now!" he grumbled.
Melody grinned at the Lamborghini's "Dude, these Autobots have awesome sense, at choosing there car modes"
"Right!" Charlotte agreed.
Sides and Sunny transformed up into their bi-pedal mode, kneeling down to their level.
"And if i remember correctly Charlotte, you called use cutie cars?"
"Hey that was before i knew you was giant alien robots, Sideswipe" Charlotte defened herself.
Sunstreaker turned his helm to Charlotte "Actually were not, as you say 'giant' "
Jerry burst out laughing "But..havent you...You like way taller than any of us. Your bending down right not, to even speak to us"
Sunstreaker grimaced "Don't talk snappy at me! Were are not 'giant'. The human race are just really really small"
Melody stepped forwards "If you don't mind me saying, Sunstreaker. But we have always been this height. To use were not small, we are normal sized beings, and your just really really tall."
Sunstreaker let out sign "You can't win with these humans... Red head!" He called to Melody "We are also normal sized beings, your just a small race. Got it?"
Charlotte raised an eyebrow at Sideswipe "What even is this argument?"
Sideswipe chuckled "I have no idea..."
"Shall we leave them to it? And go...i don't know. Watch a film?"
"What's a film?"
"That isnt possible at the moment! Sorry guys" Lennox voiced joined in.
"Did Epps break the tv...?" Charlotte asked.
"No no, Optimus has just informed me that Director Galloway is coming to base today. Again" Lennox rolled his eyes.
"Director who?" Sideswipe asked.
"No...you say that for The Doctor, Sides"
"Doctor whaat?" Sideswipe asked very confusingly.
Lennox ran a hand through his hair "That means that Stark and you two" He pointed at the twins "Need to go out for a while. Go visit Bee, Sam and Mikaela for a while"
Charlotte raised an eyebrow. She knew Bumblebee, but Sam and Mikaela? "Who..?"
"Oh, Bumblebee is their Gaurdian. Look they know about the Autobots. Actually they pretty much saved the world a year back"
"Alright. Cool" Charlotte smiled.
Sunstreaker turned his helm to Lennox "May i ask Major. But why do we have to go out, and visit the Scout. Because of Galloway?"
"Ah. Yes. Well Optimus also informed me, that Galloway hasn't been told of you two new recruits. Oh and you" He pointed at Charlotte "I don't think he would me happy, to find out...so please. You have permission to leave base" He winked at Sides and the blonde. "Nice going on shoting Starscream Stark" He punched her shoulder lightly. "Now go!"
Sideswipe transformed into his alt mode, opening his door and letting her in. Sunstreaker coping, skidding infront of his twin "I'm leading" He proclaimed, grouchily.
Jerry watched the two bots sped off "Melody. What? Erm.. what do we do?" he asked the red head.
Melody shrugged "I don't know. Wanna watch a movie?"
Lennox raised an eyebrow at Jerry and Melody "Come on! You'll be needed in the main hangar when he arrives." He signed, and turned on his heel to find Epps.
~*Tranquillity*~
Mikaela drove her Moped to Sam's house. He only lived a few streets down, but it was always fun to go see him. His has been awaiting to see if he got into College. His application hasn't even been sent yet. Mikaela signed, his probably panicking in his room right now, not knowing what to write in most places. Mikaela decided to visit to maybe help him, and get the damn thing posted today. She was happy for him, if he got into college that's amazing! But she would miss him terribly. They both was still in their last year at high school, and Mikaela was just planning on staying home, and working with her Dad.
Mikaela parked outside of Sam's house. Removing her helmet and knocking on his house door. Sam's Mum was the one opening it "Oh Mikaela! How lovely to see you!" She said, in her sing song voice "Come in!"
Mikaela smiled "Thank you Mrs Witwicky"
"You can call me Judy, you know that" She smiled "Sam is in his room. You know where to go"
Mikaela nodded a thanks, and made her way up the stairs, knocking on Sam's bedroom door.
Sam embraced Mikaela into a hug "Hey there!" He smiled, pulling her into his bedroom "Okay, im a little stuck..on my application"
Mikalea smiled "I thought you would be. Which bit you stuck at?" She asked.
Sam pointed to a section on the form, which read 'describe yourself in 3 words'
Mikaela walked over to Sam's desk, looking down at the form "Well. How about; Short. Annoying. Dumbhead" She teased him
Sam rolled his eyes "I'm being serious. What the hell am i suppose to put?"
"I don't know. Hero would be one"
"Right, like anyone would believe i helped saved the world"
"Helped? Sammy without you the Autobots would probably have struggled to save Earth. Optimus might have even died." She ran a hand through his hair "I know you saved us. Your Parents do. All the bots do, and Lennox and his team. I think that's good enough right?"
Sam chuckled "Yeah i know. I suppose i could put alien magnet, im sure i wouldn't be accepted then"
Mikaela giggled "Any college would be lucky to have you. You're smart, funny and a great friend"
"That's 3 words! Aha!" Sam wrote down 'Smart' and 'Funny' "Gah i still need a third. They wont care if im a great friend or not"
Mikaela shrugged "Sorry, but that's all i got" She looked out Sam's window "Sam! I think Bee trying to get your attention" She pointed out the window, where Bumblebee was driving out the garage, flashing his headlights.
Sam run to his window "What's he doing!? Dads gonna kill me if he ruins the 'path' " Sam grabbed Mikaela's hand and ran downstairs, and out the back door. Sam ran to the driver side of Bumblebee "Dude! What you doing!?"
Bee replied through his radio "Galloway...Meet up with...Twins" Bee said, scanning through different radios to find the right words.
"Meet up with twins? The Ice-cream twins? No...hell no!" Sam shook his head "Not them two"
Mikaela rolled her eyes "Their not gonna prank you again."
Bee interrupted them "New recruits...Come on..Sam! They don't...pull pranks..." Bee kinda lied, the Lambo twins did like pulling pranks back at Cybertron, but after everything went down hill, they haven't.
Mikalea tilted her head "New Autobots? Lets go meet them! Come on Sam!" Mikalea climbed into Bee's passenger side.
Sam groaned "I am trying to finish my application-" Sam looked behind him, to see his Dad heading out the back door. He dived into Bee's driver side "Go go go!"
Ron Witwicky shouted at the yellow Camaro as it sped out of the drive "Bee the path! You stupid alien.."
Judy smacked Ron's shoulder "Shhh. Someone might hear you"
"Right. Like someone is gonna believe we have an E.T...or a Rodger living in our garage"
"Rodger lives in an attic"
"What?"
"Rodger. His an alien, who lives with Stan Smith"
"It...it was a metaphor Judy!"
*~Back to Bee~*
"Alright Bee, so did you know these two from Cybertron?" Sam asked, as he allowed Bumblebee to drive himself to said location.
"Yes...They was good...friends." The Scout replied. "And great...at killing...cons"
Mikaela nodded "So..are they nice? Some of the new bots we have met recently..well some are quite grumpy"
"They love...humans...especially Sunny" Bee lied, he silently giggled. He knew that Sunstreaker hated humans. Well not hate like, Decepticon hate. But he's rather not be around them.
"Sunny? That's his name. Sounds girly" Sam chuckled.
"Sun...streak..er" Bee found it hard to find the words, that would sound like Sunstreaker. "His twin...is called...side...swipe"
"Sunstreaker and Sideswipe? Is that what you mean Bee?" Mikaela asked.
"You got it sister!" Bee chirped.
After a few minutes Bee turned up a bit if hill, parking at the top, it showed the city of Tranquillity. It was a nice green area, that Sam and Mikaela recognized. It was where the two and Optimus', Bee, Ratchet and Ironhide stood, after the fight at Mission City. Bee stopped and let them both out.
"Where are they? What do they even look like?" Sam questioned.
Mikaela pointed at a pair of Lamborghinis, a red and yellow one. "Is that them Bee?"
*~Charlotte~*
Charlotte was nearly falling asleep, her feet up on Sideswipes dashboard "How long are they gonna be? I am going to fall asleep soon"
Sideswipe spoke up "I don't know..just have patience"
Sunstreaker voice come through Sides radio "Patience? Are you kidding Sides? I agree with Stark. Bee drives slow for a Camaro"
Charlotte smiled "Thanks Sunny"
Sunny growled "Do not call me that. Only one person can call me that, and its definitely not you fleshy"
Sideswipe seemed to chuckle "Only i can call him Sunny, alright Charlie?"
"Hey!" Charlotte kicked Sides dashboard lightly "Do not call me that!" She mimicked Sunny.
Charlotte heard Sunstreaker laugh through Sides radio "Aww do you not like the nickname...Charlie"
Charlotte pursed her lips "Alright Sunstreaker. I will not call you Sunny anymore, its either Charlotte ...or even Lottie. Not Charlie, okay?"
"Fine with me...Charlie"
Sides felt like he could face palm right now. Or slap his twin around his stupid helm. "Sunny, leave off"
"Alright...im sorry Star- i mean Charlie"
"That's it" Charlotte opened Sides door and ran over to Sunstreaker "I will kick your door! It would be a shame for me to scratch that precious paint job of yours"
"You wouldn't dare, fleshy"
"Then don't call me Charlie!"
"Charlieeee" Sunstreaker teased.
"Alright! That's it!" Charlotte swung back her leg, kicking the driver side door. Leaving a slight scratch on his paint. "Oops" Charlotte glanced to Sides, she spotted a yellow Camaro and two people staring in awe at her. They obviously think shes a tad weird, kicking a car door. Charlotte's thoughts was interrupted by Sunstreaker transforming, and slamming his fist down beside the blonde. "Woah! Calm it Sunny!"
Sunstreaker growled, hitting his fist down, closer to Charlotte this time "Don't call me that!"
Charlotte flinched a little, stepping a few feet away from where Sunny punched the ground "Okay, that was close..." Charlotte mumbled.
Sunstreaker growled "Its like you want a death wish, fleshy!" He hit his other fist, the other side of her. Stopping her from moving back. He looked back at her "What is my name?"
Charlotte jumped a little, defiantly not expecting him to punch the ground ..again. She looked up to Sunstreaker as he spoke to her. "Your name...well its obviously, Sunstreaker. Surely you know that yourself?"
"Don't be clever with me Charlie!"
Sideswipe quickly transformed up and crossed his arms at his brother "Stop! Theres people over there. Plus..stop trying to frighten her!"
"She kicked me..now i have to re-paint.." He knelt down to Charlotte's height, moving his servo to rest it on his knee "Don't call me Sunny. Got it, fleshy?"
Charlotte pursed her lips "Alright fiiiiine. Don't call me Charlie either, got it, Metaly?"
Sunstreaker stood up, and shurgged "Likewise"
"What?"
"I can call you whatever i wish, there's noting a little femme like you can do? Isn't there, Charlie?"
Charlotte let in a long breath, trying to keep in her anger "Whatever shortbus"
"I'm taller than you.."
Sideswipe shook his head "Alright...just shh you two, guys, them two humans are approaching! Were in bot mode! Prime is gonna kill us!"
"Aw slag!" Sunstreaker quickly transformed into his alt mode.
"They have seen you now Sunstreaker..." Charlotte hissed at him.
Sideswipe and Charlotte watched as the couple approached. One was a boy, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He must have been around the age of 18 maybe. Or 19. He was at average height, and he was good looking. The other was a girl, she looked roughly the same age. She had long dark hair, and amazing green eyes. Charlotte thought she looked very pretty, and she felt a teeny but jealous of girls with natural beauty. She noticed that one of them owned a yellow Camaro, with black racing strips. She put a hand to her head, she recognized that car from somewhere. "Sides... I think that's Bee. We met him at base the yesterday, then he left for Gaurdian stuff?"
Sideswipe moved his optics from Charlotte, to the Camaro "I didn't see his alt form at the time. But it could be him."
"So that's Sam and Mikaela then?" Sunny asked himslef, transforming back into his bi-pedal mode. Standing tall and proud.
Charlotte nodded "Must be" She looked up at the twins "Wait here, okay?" She walked up to the Guy and the Girl before the twins could respond. "Are you Sam and Mikaela?"
The boy arched an eyebrow at Charlotte "Yes. Well I'm Sam, that's Mikaela..how did you know that? We was told we was just meeting them two" He eyes shifted up to look at the two bots that stood behind her.
"Lennox informed us that you would be with Bee. I am assuming that's him" Charlotte nodded her head to the Camaro who finally decided to transform. He couldn't of that done that earlier, and made things much simpler.
Mikaela nodded "Yes it is. So who are you? I ..well we don't recognize you"
"Oh sorry. How silly of me, Im Charlotte" She smiled "Im currently living in N.E.S.T base because i apparently stumbled apon some...Energon. Then a huge scary con decided to track me down. Then these two saved me." She pointed at the twins "Then Ratchet said i should see him everyday, because he is un sure of what- Oh..."
By then, Bumblebee made his way over to the group, standing beside Mikaela and Sam "What's a matter...Charlotte?" He asked.
"I was kinda suppose to check in with the medical bot..."
Sideswipe chuckled a little "Aw don't worry, you got me Sunny and Bee with you. We can see if anythings going to happen"
Sam rolled his eyes "Its alright Charlotte, Ratchets not that bad. Besides you said Major Lennox sent you out here"
"Yeah just blame him" Mikaela smiled.
Sunstreaker huffed "You can not blame Lennox, Director Galloway was the one who arrived at base, we had to leave because he hasn't been informed of me and Sideswipe, oh and the youngling here" He pointed at Charlotte.
Sam and Mikaela both made an "Ohhh" Sound. Sam then spoke up "Wait, so you found some energon? What happened?"
"I picked it up. Then i suppose, like it had a mind of its own. It flew inside me, straight through my eyes. It felt weird.."
"I don't think ...its energon" Bee said.
Sunstreaker growled "And why not Bee? Are you saying that Hatchet is wrong?"
"No...of course not. But surely...it would kill her" Bee changed through several radio stations.
Mikaela agreed with Bee "Energon is harmful to humans, if they take in to much. Maybe it isn't Energon, like Bee said."
Bee chirped happily because Mikaela agreed with him. Sam shook his head, getting a little frustrated like he normally did when in situations like this "So..maybe. Maybe it is something else. It could be, part of an Autobot or Decepticon, right? Like something that isn't their blood. Maybe...like erm, a soul?"
Charlotte tilted her head "A soul? Are you sure. That would be weird to have a ghost inside me. Would have to call the Winchesters" Charlotte giggled to herself.
Everyone tilted their heads, or helms "Who?" They all asked in unison.
"You guys never watched Supernatural? Well atleast you have Mikaela. They got the two cutest guys ever...no?" She felt her cheeks flush red "Okay...nevermind."
Sam chuckled a little "No i haven't heard of it..but why don't we give the Ghostsbuster's a call, yeah? Everyone has heard of them."
Mikaela smiled "If theirs two hot guys in it, in defiantly gonna watch it now." She raised an eyebrow at Sam "Ghostbusters? Really Sam?"
Charlotte giggled "Who ya gunna call?"
Sam sung "Ghostbusters!" He blushed.
Mikaela shook her head "On no, Charlotte. Your not a nerdy geek like Sam are you? Not like its a bad thing" She smiled.
"You mean, Sam's an Fangirl?" Charlotte laughed.
"I think its more 'fanboy' "
"Doest sound as good as 'Fangirl' " Charlotte teased.
The three Autobots shared glances and spoke through Comm Link "What's a Ghostbuster?"
"Fangirl?"
"What does Winchester mean?"
"Is Sam and Charlotte science genius'?"
No one of them could answer eachothers questions. So they all looked down at the young humans.
Sideswipe spoke up to them "What...is a Ghostbuster?"
Sam Mikaela and Charlotte burst into giggles.
Sunstreaker huffed "What are you giggling about, it was just a question!" He seemed to get angrier "No one laughs at my brother!" He punched the ground infront of them three.
"Woah! Woah!" Sam jumped back, holding Mikaela behind him, protectively. Charlotte stood beside Sam rolling her eyes slightly "This..again, don't worry. I don't think Sunny here will actually squish you"
Sunstreaker growled "Don't call me that fleshy! We already discussed this!"
Sideswipe put a hand on his twins shoulder "Its alright Sunstreaker, just...ignore her" He suggested.
Bumblebee jumped in, playing a song through his radio "If theirs something strange dun dun, in your neighbourhood dun dun, Who ya gunna call? Ghostbusters! Dun dun. If theirs something weird dun dun, and it don't look good dun dun, who ya gunna call? Ghostbusters! -Insert little bit of theme solo here- I ain't afraid of no ghost"
Everyone's eyes or optics turned to look at Bee.
Bee shrugged, sheepishly rubbing the back of his helm "What?"
Everyone just laughed, the awkwardness now ended. After that everyone decided to go out into town. Mikaela suggested shopping, but Sam just moaned. So they all went to get some snacks, and hang out. After a while Mikaela managed to persuade the bots and both Sam and Charlotte to explore the nearby shopping mall. After Sideswipe, Bee and Sunstreaker parked and activated their holoform's, they all made their way to the entrance doors. Sam was just hoping for some food.
Charlotte stopped staring at awe at a randomly parked car. It was a red Ford Mustang. Charlotte blinked looking at the number plate. It read:
J17Y D4K
Charlotte signed, it had to be that resignation plate. Charlotte knew this was Jay Darks car, she could recognized it from anyway. If it was only a different resignation, it would obviously be someone else.
Bee turned around after Sam stopped complaining about why he agreed to Mikaela's shopping spree. His holoform was young, he looked around his early 20s. He had a mass of light blonde hair, and like all other bots, he had bright blue eyes. Like Sunny and Sides he had a dog tag around his neck, with the Autobot symbol printed on. He tilted his head at Charlotte "Are you okay?" When in his holoform he could speak normally, not using radio. No one exactly knew how this worked..but it just did.
Charlotte shook her head from her daydream and turned her head to Bee "Oh..yeah i am fine. Just remembering some memories."
Bee walked over to Charlotte's side "Whose car is that?"
"He used to be a friend. I recently found out he works with the Deceptions.." She signed " His been my friend for a year or so now. Why would anyone work for freaking Con?" She turned to Bee "Do you think that's how Barricade found me? Because of him" She said 'him' in disgust.
Bee's face saddened "I don't know why he does work with the con's, but i think we should get away from here"
"What why?"
"Because he could inform the Cons, and we cant cause a scene in the middle of Tranquillity.." Bee tugged her shoulder "Wait here, I'll tell the others" He jogged over to the twins and the brunettes.
Charlotte stared at the Mustang, having the slightest urge to kick it. Or throw a stone at the window. She felt a presence behind her. She turned around to see Sam, Mikaela and the bots "Oh...hi guys" She gave a small smile, rubbing her arm a little.
Sideswipe approached Charlotte a little, putting an arm around her shoulders "Hey, Bee told us what's up. I guess you feel annoyed, he was your friend" Charlotte agreed, she was annoyed. And he was her friend. "Hey, i got an idea!" Sides grinned. Pulling out of his pocket was some cars keys, with them little tab things to out photos in.
Charlotte took them from his hands, looking at the tab. "You don't have a photo.." Charlotte smiled a little at him. "Do you want me to show you how or something?" Charlotte looked at him.
Sides chuckled "Well yes, you could. But i thought that, that Ford could do with a few scribbles and dents?" He suggested.
Sunstreaker laughed "I agree, but don't you ever think of ever doing it to me, if i ever un-friend you"
"You saying were friends, Sunstreaker?" Charlotte put her hands together dreamingly.
"What? No.." Sunny pushed her shoulder playfully. "Here" He tossed his keys to Sam, who thankfully caught them before dented his face.
Bee searched his pocket and gave them to Mikaela "I'm sure you want to help Charlotte ruin an use-to-be-jerk-of-a-friends car?"
Mikaela and Sam both nodded in agreement "It would be a pleasure to" Mikaela smiled.
Charlotte knelt at the drivers side door, holding Sides car keys in her hand. She slowly pressed the end of the keys against the paint of the car, slowly making a vertical line from the top of the door to the bottom. It making a long screeching noise, like chalk on blackboard.
Sunstreaker winched "That poor paintjob" He wiggled his nose.
Sideswipe rolled his eyes "Come on, the dudes a jerk" He bent down beside Charlotte and let the air out of the front tyre, throwing the cap away. He watched Charlotte slowly scratch the car, her lines was surprisingly straight and quite neat "I'm sure when Jerky see this, he will think 'Atleast they drew straight lines' " He laughed.
"Shut up, Sideswipe" She pushed his shoulder gently, and randomly made lines all across the car, walking around the it, she come in contact with Sam, she quickly just ducked under his arms, and around Mikaela as they drew random scribbles on his car. Charlotte eyes widen at Sam drawing "Sam..that's rude. While do guys always draw...there own private parts" She rolled her eyes.
Mikaela nodded in agreement "Right? I've always wandered that"
Bee slapped Sam behind the back of his head "That's a rude thing to draw, especially infront of two young Femmes"
Sunstreaker decided to help his brother with the tires. When he heard a shouting from behind them. It sounded like "Don't vandilise that car, kids! Vandalism is a crime!" Sunstreaker looked to the owner of the voices, seeing two bulky men in strangely dressed uniforms.
Mikaela eyes widened "Shit...shit cops!"
Sunstreaker being the oldest, quickly stood up and spoke to Bee and Sides "Grab Sam and Mikaela, and follow me!" Sunstreaker pulled Charlotte to her feet by her arms. He easily lifted her up and over his shoulder "Hold on!" Charlotte gripped the back of his jacket, as he made a quick dash around loads of cars, and down some nearby allies. Charlotte looked behind her to see Bee pulling Mikaela by her hand, and Sides holding onto the scuff of Sam's neck, pulling him, for him to keep up. While the cops seemed to not follow anymore, the three bots continued to run forth, following Sunstreaker.
"Hey Sunny! I must be really heavy. Can't i walk?"
Sunny grunted "Its Sunstreaker to you, Charlie" He shrugged his shoulder, accidentally on purpose.
Charlotte grunted as she was pushed up quickly and landed on his shoulder. It wasn't a comfortable position to be held. But apparently easy for the carrier, maybe that's why Firemen carried civilians that way.
When they finally reached the bots alt mode, which they had to wait for the cops to leave, then return to said car park, and find themselves. Sunstreaker placed Charlotte down on the floor. Charlotte wanted to hug and kiss the ground, but it didn't look very sanitary. Sam and Mikaela turned to look at Charlotte.
"This was fun" Mikaela smiled "I hope we could do it again sometime. Sounds like we was on a date or something" Mikaela laughed.
Sideswipe grinned "Triple date! Sam and Mikaela, Me and Charlotte. That's leaves Bee and Sunny to be together"
Bee and Sunny made an 'eeww' Sound in unison.
Sam Mikaela and Charlotte shared a laugh "Anyways" Charlotte smiled at Sam and Mikaela "Yeah, it was fun. I hope we could hang out another time." She nodded at them "And Bee, your so adorable!" She ruffled his hair.
Sam stepped forward and shook Charlotte's hand "See ya around, fellow geek" He nodded then stepped into Bee's alt mode. Mikaela nodded a smile at Charlotte "Its been fun! We should go shopping. Just me and you! No boys...or mechs" She glanced at the Twins.
Charlotte smiled "That would be great!" She wouldn't mind some girl time with another girl, she wasn't a huge fan of shopping, but she didn't mind to from time to time.
Bee's holoform strode up to Charlotte and embraced her with a tight hug "I'll see you at base. I have to visit from time to time" He let her go, nodding at her before he fuzzed then disappeared. The Camaro, driving out from his parking spot and speeding off.
Charlotte smiled and waved at them. Sunstreaker tapped Charlotte's shoulder "Optimus said that Galloway hasn't left yet. His says about and hour he should be gone"
Charlotte turned around, facing the twins "Right. Well i don't know about you, but I am kinda hungry."
Sideswipe nodded "We could take you out! We don't eat human food obviously, but we could get a...urm what's it called? A take-away! And all eat together, somewhere where we can't be seen, so me and Sunny can be in our normal modes."
Sunstreaker raised an eyebrow at Sideswipe "Alright, but its not a date.. Got it"
Sideswipe waved his hand "Sure...sure. Lets go!"
Charlotte climbed into Sideswipe's alt mode as he drove, until he found a McDonalds. Charlotte stepped out and looked up at the giant yellow M. "Don't tell Ratchet i ate here."
"Why?" They asked in unison.
"Well its not exactly healthy food. But it tastes so nice, and KFC..oh my god, they have the best chicken ever" Charlotte laughed. Running in McDonalds herself, she ordered a cheese burger with fries (I usually say chips, because that's what i call them. But McDonalds call them fries here in the uk anyway xD) and a large Coca Cola. She payed and walked outside, putting her food in Sides alt mode "Wait here" She found a small store next to McDonalds and adventured inside. She looked around the small store to find what she wanted: Haribo's. She loved these sweets. She picked up the sugar coated ones, because she liked getting all giggly aferwards. She also picked up some other sweets: Strawberry Bon Bons, Moam's, Mars bar and more Haribos. She also picked up a small bag of sugar. She hopped back into Sides alt mode, after she had paid.
Sideswipe groaned "Why'd you take so long? Also, that is alot of un-healthy food"
"Shut up, it doesn't matter for one day, aslong as you don't eat un-healthy food constantly"
Again Sunstreaker lead the way to a destination where they could transform freely. Sunstreaker choose the place where they met Bumblebee, because by the time they eat and drive back to base, Galloway should be long gone.
When they arrived Charlotte grabbed her food, and her Coca Cola, stepping out of Sideswipe alt mode. She laid the food on the floor, and stretched her arms and legs.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe both transformed into their bot modes, stretching more that Charlotte did "I hate being in alt mode to long"
They sat down crossed legged either side of Charlotte. As she aslo crossed her legs, sitting on the grass. She started on her cheese burger "So you guys. I feel weird eating while your not"
Sunstreaker chuckled "Fear not. We have are own sources" Sunstreaker pulled out a cube looking thing, filled with a glowing blue stubstance.
"Is that the Teseract? Oh dear, Loki really wants that"
"Teseract? Loki?...this is Energon Charlie" Sunstreaker informed her "Its what we fuel up on"
Charlotte ignored the fact he called her Charlie "Ohh. Awww i wanted to meet the Avengers, they would come looking for the Teseract, and then i would be like 'Omg Steve!Tony! Thor! Bruce Banner! Romanoff! Barton!' Oh well"
Sideswipe raised an eyebrow ridge, scooping Charlotte up and kept his optics on hers "You feeling okay?"
Charlotte giggled "I'm fine, they are Marvel superheros. They are totally awesome. Their comics and action movies. Then in one movie they all work together and its awesome!"
Sunstreaker smiled "Sounds interesting, we should watch it with you sometime, Charlotte" He patted her head gently with one giant finger. Sideswipe nodded in agreement, placing Charlotte back on the ground.
"What is it anyway?"
Sideswipe placed his energon cube down beside Charlotte, it was about the same size of her. Charlotte noticed the top was open. "This your'e energy sources?" Charlotte asked.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe both nodded.
Charlotte grinned and grabbed her bag of sugar "I bought this to add to tea. Because Lennox told me that Ratchet doesn't allow sugar with tea. I think it doesn't taste quite right without sugar. Anyway" She stood up on her tip toes, and spilled some sugar into both their energons cubes. "Now you can get hyper!"
Sideswipe raised an eyebrow "Hyper? That's isn't a bad thing, is it?" He picks up his Energon and held it to his face.
"Well i don't know if it will actually work on bots..maybe you shouldn't. I changed my mind! What if it..doesn't send you to giggles"
"Don't worry Charlotte, I'm sure human sources wouldn't harm us" Sunstreaker said, while pouring sugar into his energon aswell.
"Oh god, I've changed my mind. You shouldn't.."
Sideswipe shrugged "Oh well" He picked up his energon drink and put it to his mouth.
"If you dare say 'YOLO' I swear to the old Gods, and the new. I will gank you" Charlotte nodded at him.
The both raised an eyebrow ridge "YOLO?"
"You honestly don't want to know" Charlotte opened her Haribo's and ate a few "Yummy!"
Sunstreaker took a swig of his energon drink "Hmm. Tastes sweet."
Charlotte giggled "Okay, well i hope it doesn't harm you"
About an half an hour later, Charlotte and the twins were all in giggle fits. Laughing at the most silliest things. Charlotte was starting to feel a tiny weeny bit sickly after eating all the sugar sweets and chocolate "Oh gosh! This was not a great idea" but she mostly ignored it. Right now she was watching the twins play fighting, well she hoped it was. They both claimed that they could easily take the other down, Sunstreaker said his older so he could. So their trying to prove who would win.
Sideswipe just threw Sunstreaker to the ground, and went for a jump attack. While Charlotte was stood up on her feet cheering him on "Sideswipe, Sideswipe you are great! Stick that sword into that snake!" She quoted the Genie, from the Disney film Aladdin, but changed Aladdin to Sideswipe.
Sunstreaker raised his legs, and pushed them onto Sideswipe's chest, sending him flying backwards. He then shot a glare at Charlotte.
Charlotte signed and picked up her Moam bag with a stick, to make a flag, and sung "Sunny, Sunny his our man, if he can't do it GREAT!" She flung the 'flag' behind her.
Sunstreaker raised an eyebrow at Charlotte. "Are you on my team or what, Charlie?"
Charlotte nodded "Of course i am.." She run up to Sideswipe and kicked his leg "OW SLAGGER!" Charlotte covered her mouth "I don't even know what that means.." She clutched her foot, giggling "I don't even know what that means!?" She repeated giggling still.
Sideswipe looked down at Charlotte after she kicked him "If it helps, that didn't hurt, one bit, but if Sunny wanted to hurt me, he shouldn't send others to do it" Sides glared at his brother.
Charlotte pouted "I am fine by the way. Just fine, kicked a robot freakin' metal leg, because that wouldn't hurt" Charlotte mumbled, walking back to her spot and picking up some more Haribo's "Yeah! Ring!"
Sunstreaker stood up "Guess i win little brother"
"I'm younger by a few minutes, Sunny!"
"Aaand don't you forget it"
Charlotte sat down on the soft grass beneath her. She put her hand in the candy bag, pulling out the egg sweet. She wrinkled her nose. She never like this flavour one, she didn't know why, she just never ever liked it. She glanced up to the twins, who were arguing about something, but you could tell they were just playing. They kept laughing and flicking each others forehead's...or forehelms's. Charlotte blinked as the sun was slowly starting to set behind the trees, she didn't know what time it was now. She didn't really care, this was her second day with the Autobots and she seemed to love it. She have met a few other Autobots, like Ironhide, Bee, Optimus, Ratchet, Hound. But she seemed to like the twins the best. She knew your not suppose to pick favourite's when it comes to friends, but these two were great! Even if, so far her and Sunstreaker hasn't got along to well, they have had a little friendly moment here and there. Charlotte saw a shadow go down her eyes then back up again quite quickly. She blinked, looking up now paying attention. She realized it was Sunstreaker's hand waving infront of her face "Oh sorry, was daydreaming away" She laughed.
Sideswipe grinned "About what?"
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"
"Teenage what?" Sunstreaker questioned.
Charlotte face palmed, do you have to explain everything, and everything geeky to these guys? Yeah. "Their four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who live in the sewers in New York City "
Sideswipe blinked his optics "But Mutant's aren't real? Are they?"
"Of course they are" Charlotte giggled "I wanna go to NYC just to meet Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo"
"That's strange names" Sunny laughed.
"No there not!" She giggled "What and Sunstreaker isn't? And Sideswipe? Mudflap?" She laughed.
Sunstreaker growled "My name isn't funny, Charlie!" Sunny started to laugh "Bwhahaha Charlie...what a name"
Sideswipe rolled his optics, transforming his hand into a canon and shooting at his brother.
Sunstreaker did a dramatic gasp and picked up Charlotte to shield his newly painted faceplates.
Charlotte giggled "I'm not a great shield you kno- Argh!" She screamed as Sideswipe's bad aim flew past them anyway, hitting into a tree and blowing up "Oh god, your gonna be in trouble Sides!"
They all burst into laughter. Before Sunstreaker suggested returning to base before they made anymore damage. While driving back the sugar wore off quickly on the twins, but Charlotte, where she hadn't had loads of sweets for a while, still was having random giggles at weird looking people waking by. Or when the stirring wheel of Sideswipe's turned by itself when turning a corner. Charlotte still didn't feel comfortable riding with Sunstreaker, she was afraid of ruining his interior, or his constant complaining, now his back to his normal self.
In Charlotte's early years of her life, when her Mum was still living, everything was fine. Her relationship between her Father was a lot better, they had fun, watched movies. Ate tons of sweets while watching them! But as Charlotte got older, a few years before her Mother died, he changed. He got angry all the time, never spoke to Charlotte alot, even got violent against her Mum. She tried to hide it from Charlotte, but Charlotte could see.
Sideswipe turned another corner, Charlotte burst into giggles "Your stirring wheel...is moving..again!" She laughed.
The twins pulled into base, Charlotte stepping out of the red Lamborghini. She looked around the main hangar, at all the other Autobots who was doing their own little thing. Charlotte turned to Sideswipe "I'll be right back" She turned in her heel, and made her way over to Ironhide "Hey! Ironhide!"
The Topkick GMC turned around, looking down at Charlotte "Hello there Charlotte. How are you doing?" He was currently cleaning his canons. His left one transformed back into his hand, he then stretched his hand out.
Charlotte but her lip, and started giggling "Your hand...it..was a canon" She continued laughing.
Ironhide made an confused face "Well yes, you've seen it before. How is it possibly funny?"
"I don't know..." She laughed "I...i better go" She waved and quickly walked off.
Ironhide placed a servo infront of Charlotte, stopping her from walking off "I better take you to Ratchet"
Charlotte eyes widen, Ratchet could probably be able to tell she has loads of sugar and from what most people have said, it doesn't sound fun to get caught. "No no no no no, im fine. I am fine. I don't need to" She reassured him.
Ironhide picked her up gently, and held her in his servo "Im not convinced. I'm taking you to the Medbay"
"Nnnfggmm fine.." Charlotte signed, biting her lip to look around for the twins for an escape.
Sunstreaker elbowed his brother "Hey, where's Hide taking Charlie?"
Sideswipe shrugged "I don't know. Shall we follow?"
"I thought you was done stalking?"
"Shut up"
Charlotte crossed her arms, looking up at Ironhide "I really am fine. Just tired, i need rest. Yeah, so just find me a bed"
Ironhide chuckled at her "Your not getting away that easily, perhaps you picked up a cold or something"
Charlotte hit her head against Ironhide's middle finger "I. Am. Fiiiine"
Ironhide smiled "Too late little femme, we are here" Ironhide punched in the code to the Medbay, quickly ducking as a giant wrench was thrown their way. "Ratchet! Its me you fool"
"Sorry Ironhide, i thought you was those bloody Chevy Twins again" He grumbled, looking at his palm "Ah Charlotte. You're here for you scan, yeah?"
Charlotte nodded "Yeah..." She pouted.
Ironhide placed Charlotte on a giant berth, where Ratchet walked up to her holding a giant looking pad. Both bots stood either side of the berth. Charlotte felt even smaller than usual, Ratchet and Ironhide was roughly the same size, around 20 feet tall.
Ratchet scanned Charlotte a few times, he furrowed his eyebrow ridges. "Hmm strange"
Ironhide looked at Ratchet "What? What is it?"
"Charlotte's glucose levels, seem to have risen"
Charlotte tried to look really innocent "Are you sure? Glucose..i haven't ate any sugars today" Charlotte bit her lip "Why do people call you Hatchet...Hatchet" She burst into giggles, covering her mouth.
Ratchet looked down at Charlotte "Have you been eating un-healthy foods. Do you know how bad that is for your body"
Ironhide clicked his fingers "I knew there was something different about you, Charlotte"
Ratchet would normally give a lo g lecture to anyone who ate too many bad foods for their body, but the scan picked up something else. He looked at Ironhide "Can you get Prime for me please" He showed his electronic giant tab to Hide. "Its not her Glucose levels..look"
Ironhide optics seem to widen "I'll be back" He rushed over to the door, as he opened it Sunstreaker and Sideswipe fell in, landing on their fronts, then quickly standing up.
Ratchet growled "What are you two doing here? Out, now!"
Sunstreaker pleaded "We just come to see if Charlotte is alright"
Ratchet looked at Charlotte "Are you okay?"
"yeah..."
"She's fine, now out!"
Sideswipe fluttered his optics "Please Ratchet. We'll be quiet and all"
"Fine, stand there and zip it"
Just then Ironhide returned with Prime. Optimus immediately walked over to Ratchet and looked at the tab "I thought it said energon yesterday. Was the readings wrong?"
Ratchet repiled "Not entirely wrong Optimus, just not precise. Now they seem to be very clear"
Charlotte started giggling again "Haha Optimus. Kinda sound like octopus...Octopus Prime! Octopus Lime!" Charlotte coughed awkwardly looking back up at them "Continue?"
Optimus realized that Charlotte may have ate some high in sugars candy. That could be the reason for her giggling at serious times. He looked down at her "It may not have been energon that i detected for the twins. It may not be energon inside you."
"What do you mean?" Charlotte, the twins and Ironhide asked in unison.
Ratchet signed "Its a soul, and it seemed to be attached to you."
"I have a soul inside me! What? How is that possible? Is it living off me, like Voldemort. How do we get him out?"
Ratchet spoke again "Actually its a she. And if you pick out a suitable car for a disguise, her soul, well technically her spark, might attach to it, making a new body for her. But i would have to find someway to online her after wards, fear not. I will find something"
Charlotte rubed two fingers on her temples "Okay...im just thinking that through. Its not sunk in yet.."
Sideswipe jumped up "We can call the Ghostbuster's! Sam said earlier that if their is something strange, you call Ghostbusters"
Sunstreaker signed "But we don't have their number"
Charlotte tried not to giggle, did they not realise that Ghostsbuster's aren't real. Its just a movie. She looks back up to the three bots infront of her. Ironhide then Ratchet then Optimus "Yeah?"
Ironhide spoke "Well, since your the femmes carrier. What car would you like us to find?"
Charlotte quickly choose like it wasn't a hard decision at all "1967 Chevrolet Impala, Black" She smiled.
Optimus nodded at them "I didn't think this was possible, but energon is more dangerous that a femmes spark. It seems the energy inside Charlotte isn't harming her at all, just change her facial features. I am glad it is not something serious"
"So do you know who it is?" Charlotte asked.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe started to push each other, trying to see Charlotte from the 3 taller bots stood in their view.
Optimus glared down at them "You two! Your getting in the way, please could you leave"
They both would normally have argued with who bot ordered them, but its Optimus so they nodded and walked out. Waiting outside the door for Charlotte.
Charlotte looked back to Optimus "Do you know? Who it is, i mean"
Optimus and Ironhide looked over Ratchet's shoulder, their optics seemed to widen. Then they nodded their helms.
"So who is it...?" Charlotte asked.
Okay guys! I need some Femme names! Have you guys got any good ones? I have a few, but i would like to see what ideas you have :)
Sorry it took awhile, yet again...i still love you though!
Hmmm...3 reviews for next chapter? ;)
