chapter 7 Baby sitter Jetfire
The minicon alarm sounded. Hot shot turned to Jetfire. "Can you keep an eye on him?' He asked.
"Sure thing buddy." Jetfire said taking the sparkling.
"By the way do not take him flying." Hot shot said.
"Oh alright," Jetfire said. Hot shot left.
The rest of the Autobots left. So Jetfire was alone watching the sparkling.
At the warp gate. "Are you sure it was a good idea leaving him with Jetfire?" Blurr asked.
"Since the next minicon is near a town and Jetfire can't go so I thought it would be fine." Hot shot said.
"Who are you and what have you done with our Hot shot?" Smokescreen asked.
"Very funny Smokescreen." Hot shot said.
"I agree with Smokescreen this seems so unlike you. You and Side swipe have been close but now you two seem to be closer than ever." Red alert said.
"Yes you are becoming to be a bit of protective and doting big brother." Scavenger said.
"I guess your right but think Jetfire will do a good job as long as he doesn't do anything risky. Or he'll answer me!" Hot shot said.
"Now that is more like the Hot shot we know." Blurr said.
"That's enough let's go get that minicon." Optimus said.
"Yes sir!" they said.
Side swipe soon began to stir and woke up. That caught Jetfire's attention. Jetfire fixed up a bottle and gave it to Side swipe. Side swipe took it and began to suck on it.
Jetfire watched to make sure Side swipe didn't drink too fast. Side swipe finished and burped. "Boy you and Hot shot can be very similar. In more ways than one." Jetfire said.
Jetfire poked him making Side swipe laugh. Side swipe covered his head with the blanket. He was going to play peek-a-boo. He lifted off the blanket and said with a giggle. "Jetty, ka-boo!" Side swipe said.
Jetfire was surprised first Hot shot's nickname now his.
This little guy never ceases to amaze. Jetfire thought. He picked up Side swipe but Side swipe squirmed he wanted to be put down. Jetfire sighed in defeat and put Side swipe down.
Once on the ground Side swipe grabbed Jetfire's leg and pulled himself up.
Look at that, he's trying to stand up. Jetfire thought. Jetfire knew that Side swipe probably wanted to stand so he could try to walk. A natural thing for all sparklings to do. He knew because he had a little brother too and enjoyed watching him try for himself. Jetfire hoped Side swipe would get right this time.
Then Side swipe fell down. He landed right on his tush again. His lip formed a pout and he began to sniffle. "Uh oh this is not good." Jetfire said to himself he knew for a fact Side swipe was going to cry. He had to do something before the base became a mad house.
Then he remember what Hot shot did to get Side swipe to stop crying earlier. Jetfire grabbed the rattle and began to shake it. "Side swipe." Jetfire cooed as he shook it in an attempt to help Side swipe calm down. Side swipe stopped sniffling and giggled as he reached for the rattle.
Jetfire handed him his Jack in the box. Then he watched Side swipe work it. Side swipe clapped his hands everytime the turbo fox jumped out . Soon Side swipe was about to crawl off since he was getting a little bored with it. Then Jetfire grabbed him. He shook his finger at Side swipe.
"No wandering off." Jetfire scolded. Side swipe began to bounce in Jetfire's arms.
Jetfire could see that Side swipe was feel pretty energetic right now. Jetfire decided use the one thing that would help Side swipe burn off energy.
Jetfire took Side swipe and put him in his Jumping jack. Side swipe started bouncing right away.
Good he can burn off some of that energy. Jetfire thought. Then he smelled something. It was an unpleasant smell. It was just gross. He picked up Side swipe and smelled. "You stink! Your diaper needs to be changed." Jetfire said and changed Side swipe's diaper.
Jetfire then held Side swipe for a bit and soon Side swipe's tank growled. "Sounds like your hungry again." Jetfire said.
Side swipe nodded he was hungry. Jetfire found one of the full bottles Hot shot left for Jetfire to use just in case Side swipe got hungry.
Jetfire started to feed Side swipe. But Side swipe jerk the bottle with his hands as if the say, "I can do it myself!" Jetfire let Side swipe feed himself. Sure enough he could it. After he finished the bottle he burped loudly.
"Heh, heh. You definitely take after your big brother." Jetfire said laughing.
Side swipe was getting sleepy and fell asleep in Jetfire's arms. Jetfire sat down on the couch and began to watch a TV show called Full house he knew if Side swipe woke up and saw the show it wouldn't scare him.
But soon Jetfire feel asleep on the couch with Side swipe in his arms.
The others had come back after a successful mission the saw TV was on. But Jetfire was sleeping with a sleeping Side swipe in his arms. He was snoring softly while Side swipe was sucking thumb without a care in world.
Everyone was in awe of the cute sight.
Optimus cleared his throat and Jetfire woke up. He was shocked the others saw him like that.
Soon the others came back. "Did he behave?" Hot shot asked.
"Yes but he did try to run off once." Jetfire said.
Side swipe woke up. "Bubby!" Side swipe said.
Hot shot took him in his arms.
"Jetty nice." Side swipe said.
"Yes he is." Hot shot said. "Thanks Jetfire." he said.
"No problem." Jetfire said.
"Ready for bed Side swipe?" Hot shot asked.
"Swipey sleepy." Side swipe said with a yawn.
Hot shot was right Side swipe needed to get to bed. Sleep was important for sparklings.
(Get ready for more sparkling cuteness!)
