"Cybertronian"


Ironhide's POV

I was sat in the corner cleaning my cannons, when I looked up as Bumblebee pulled up to the base with the human children I noticed once they got out they weren't wearing the usual things they wear, they were wearing the colours green and red and they all had a pointy red thing on there helms and the femme was humming a tune

"Um femme what are you wearing?" I asked

"Christmas clothes" she cheered

"Criss-what?" I looked over and saw the twins walking in

"Christmas, it's on one day of the year to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus" said the mechling

"What's a Jesus" sideswipe asked but they just sighed and told us a story of this sparkling being born and stuff, I stopped paying attention and finished cleaning my cannons

"Hey guys who's in here?" came the voice of primes daughter

"Me, Sunny, Ironaft, the Hatchet and the kids' said Sideswipe, then I saw Ratchet grabbed his wrench

Three, two, one and... Clang!

"Ow, what the slag ow, stop that Hatch ow, how many ow, oh come on" he was yelling and Ratchet kept throwing wrenches at sideswipe but I agree with him how many does have

"Hey Xena are coming to the shopping centre to get gifts" the annoying femme asked.. wait did she say gifts

"Maybe we don't really celebrate Christmas here, you know the decepticons and stuff" she said

"What you've never had a proper Christmas with turkey and crackers?" she asked and prime's daughter shook her head "That's it we are going shopping and I'm going to make sure you get a proper Christmas with the bots no excuses" she half shouted half said

"B-but" she started to say

"No excuses" Miko pointed her finger

"Fine" she sighed and then Miko turned around and looked at me

"Hey ironhide" what was she up to

"No" I said

"But I didn't even tell you anything" she pouted "Can you take us please" she said suddenly

"No" I said and she pouted again

"What's going on in here?" I looked over and saw my sparkmate walk in

"Hide won't take us Christmas shopping" Miko said

"Whats shopping?" she asked

"Look it up on the internet" Primes kid said and chromia's optics dimmed and then lit up and squealed

"Oh hide you have to take us please" she was practically jumping and I just sighed in defeat

"Whats going on here?" I looked over and saw prime and arcee walk in

"Hide is taking us shopping" Mia squealed then Arcee squealed as well with her while the rest of us just looked at them rubbing our audio receptors

"Dad, don't let them take me" Xena said being dragged by miko to get ready

"I shall go with you Ironhide I need to spend more time with Xena anyway, but here's a warning don't go in a shoe shop" Prime whispered to me and I smirked how bad can it be to take a bunch of femme's shopping


Optimus POV

I feel sorry for Ironhide the first time I went shopping was when I first got Xena, we went out to get her cloths and that was the biggest mistake of my life and lets just say I will never doubt agent fowler's advice on shopping again.

Flashback

"Okay now you've adopted Xena we need to get cloths and other things little girls need" Fowler said I looked over and saw little Xena playing with Ratchet and he was smiling, it was a surprise to me as everyone else Ratchet had attached himself to the child

"Okay agent Fowler where shall we go?" I asked

"We're going to the shopping centre with my wife and I warn you don't let her take you into a shoe shop" he warned but I was confused what was wrong with going into a shoe shop. I shrugged it off and walked to Xena

"Xena" I said and she face me with a smile

"Yeah daddy" I smiled at that, I always wanted a sparkling

"We are going shopping with agent Fowler and his wife would you like that" I asked and she squealed

"Shoppy, shoppy, shoppy" She shouted and was jumping excitedly and I laughed quietly and transformed for her and Fowler to get in

Worse Mistake of my life, I ignored agent Fowler's advice and let his sparkmate drag me and Xena from shop to shop and the shoe shop was the worst, never again was I doing shoe shopping again. Once we were done we went to the food court and got human food and it was quite good, I well had this sweet tooth as the humans say and Ratchet was not happy about that, he wouldn't let anyone eat anything except healthy food. Mrs fowler suggested that we go to a few more shops as before we go. Xena soon got tired and I picked her up and she feel into recharge on my shoulder but I accidently bumped into a women and she stumbled a bit

"I apoligise I should of looked where I was going" I apologised and steadied her

"No harm done" she smiled and walked to a group of women and started whispering to each other unaware that I could hear them

"I would love a handsome man like that" one said

"And a sweet and kind one too" another said

"And great with kids" they all sighed but I smiled to myself and walked to my alt mode and went home with my sparkling

flashback end

"Hello dad?" I heard Xena ask

"Yes Xena" I answered

"You spaced out there are you okay?" she asked and I chuckled

"No sweetspark, I am fine, I was just remembering the first time I took you shopping" she laughed as well

"I know you were so tired from Mrs Fowler dragging you around everywhere that uncle Will had to drive you because you fell asleep on the middle of the road" she said and I snorted let's just say I'm never doing it again then a thought came to me

;Children what are we actually shopping for?; I asked through the comm

;Christmas stuff I can't believe you didn't let Xena have a proper Christmas; I heard miko ranting but I agreed


Xena's POV

Once we arrived dad activated his holoform and helped me out while the others activated their holoforms, I grabbed dad's elbow and he led me with the others into the centre. We went to different stores for different things wrapping paper, gifts, decorations you know Christmas stuff, after that we went to the food court though thank primus that Ratchet wasn't here

"Hey dad, since Ratchet isn't here can order a burger please?" I asked

"Yes you may but only if I can try your's first" he said and I smirked

"Yes" I said

"What's a burger?" Hide asked

"It's better if I don't tell you, I makes it better to eat" I said as we ordered our food and I fell asleep on dad's shoulder again.


I was in a dream again with the primes this has been happening ever since my first encounter, they've been teaching me what things look like and what colours are, all I can say was that it was beautiful after being in the dark all my life

"Hey guys miss me" I said as I walk up to them

"Hello youngling" Vector said and I looked over to Solus and she was practically bouncing and Vector followed my gaze and sighed

"Solus what is the matter?" he asked

"Oh Xena you have got to tell me everything about shopping" she squealed and all of the primes just shook there head

"Um aren't you the one who's supposed to teach me stuff?" I asked

"Pfft yeah but that doesn't mean you can't teach us stuff" she said

"Um I don't really know what to tell you, I don't really like shopping" I confessed and she looked at me in disbelief

"How can you live with yourself?" She asked

"I can't shop to save my life" I admitted then I could hear my dad waking me up "Sorry guys I got to go, see you soon" I said then back to the world of black


I woke up to dad shaking me

"Xena, wake up sweetspark" dad said and I smiled

"Yeah" I asked sitting up

"We're back at base, and you and the kids are hiding the Christmas presents away in my chambers" He whispers, I nod and and get out and we all get the stuff and sneak to dad's room and hid the stuff. We all walked into the main hanger to find prowl and Jazz there

"I still ache from that interface last decacycle" Jazz said in cybertronian unaware I can understand it

"Really, I don't think I did it that hard" Prowl admitted I was very confused, what's interfacing

"Aw slag the kids are here" Jazz said

"Don't worry they can't understand us" what did prowl mean by that

"Hey guys what language is that?" Miko asked

"It's cybertronian" Prowl answered

"Wha' up lil'lady's?" Jazz asked

"Nothing much" I answered

"Oh yeah you guys look up on the internet for christmas cloths for next week" Miko said

"Why wha's 'appenin' nex' week?" he asked

"It's Christmas" She sang

"And before you ask look it up" I said and it went quiet for a second

"It looks okay, but I find it illogical for a femme to get sparked without intercourse" Prowl said and there was an awkward silence

"What's going on in here?" Ratchet asked

"Oh nothing really Ratch" I said

"We were telling them about Christmas" Miko replied and I heard dad walk in

"And what did you think of it?" he asked

"Sir I find it illogical for a female of there species to have a sparkling without intercourse" Prowl blurted out and miko snorted holding her laughter

"Um Okay" he sounded unsure

"Hey dad can I ask you a question but I can't say it in front of the others?" I asked and he picked me up and held me to his to his robot version of an ear to whisper my question and I did, there was a few second pause before I found myself falling and being caught

"What did you ask him?" Ratchet asked in disbelief

"I only asked him a question" I replied

"Well that was some question because you've made him glitch" he said

"All I asked him was what was interfacing" I said and I heard him choke

"Where by primus did you hear that" he sounded unsteady for a moment

"I heard prowl and jazz talking about it when we walked in" I said

"We didn't hear them talk about anything" Miko said

"No, they were talking in cybertronian" I said

"How can you understand cybertronian?" Prowl Asked

"Uh hello I was raised by the bots and I picked it up" I said

"Aw, that's no fair you can understand the bots and we can't, well except from Raf, he can understand Bumblebee" Miko whined

"Hey Prowl?" Raf asked

"Yes Rafael" He replied

"Is Interfacing your version of sex?" he asked and Prowl choked

"I-I will not answer that" he said and walked away.


One week later 25Th of December

I woke up really early today because today was Christmas and it was my first with the bots and my friends, I got up and quickly changed and went to my dad's room to find him sleeping still and snoring like the pit, I climbed to the top of his bed and started jumping on his chest plates

"Dad wake up it's Christmas, it's Christmas, it's Christmassssssss" I said waking him up

"Xena what are you doing up at 4am in the morning not even I get up at this time, I don't think Ratchet is even up yet" he said sleepily

"Well what time do you wake up?" I asked

"7" he replied and back to snoring and I giggled and fell asleep on his chest, but kept waking up because of his snoring


3 hours later

I woke up at the same time as dad and I knew it because as I was waking up his snoring got quieter and quieter

"Morning" I said to him

"Good morning did you recharge well?" he asked

"It was iffy but you need to snore more quietly" I told him, he chuckled and picked me up and we set off to the main hanger.

Once we entered I could hear Ratchet over by the controls and someone else

"Prime, Xena" Prowl said

"Oh great another early bot, anyone else" I said with sarcasm

"Not that I know of" I faced palmed

"Sarcasm Prowl, sarcasm" I said and we sat there until all the other bots woke up and Mrs Darby came with the others, heck we even invited Wheeljack. Mrs darby had only put the turkey in the oven when Miko shouted

"Presents" and there was numerous foot steps headed this direction

"Okay, we are going to open the first youngest to oldest in human years" Mrs darby said

"Raf first, Xena second, me next, then Jack, then Bumblebee and I don't know the rest so can you guys like tells us" Miko asked and I heard them all transform and doors open and close

"After bumblebee it would be the twins then Arcee and Chromia, then it would be Mrs Darby, Bulkhead, Wheeljack, Jazz, Prowl, myself and last but not least Ironhide and Ratchet, who are the same age" Dad said and we opened in that order

"I found one for Raf" I could hear Miko under the tree and then I could hear ripping paper

"What did you get Raf?" I asked

"I got a new laptop, thanks guys" he said and something pressed my hands

"You're next" Mrs Darby said and I ripped it open like no tomorrow and traced my hand over it and I came to a Braille section and read it, then I grinned with glee

"What is it?" Ironhide asked

"You got me the entire series of Percy Jackson and Darkside in Braille, you guys are the best" I said but I could hear the twins

"What's Braille?" Sunstreaker asked and a few others murmured in agreement which made the others chuckle. After me Miko had a skateboard, Jack had a new phone, Bee had set of art's and crafts, Sideswipe had a book of 1001 pranks, Sunstreaker had wax, Arcee and Chromia had gift cards for different shops, Bulkhead had a few sports equipment, Wheeljack had a book of different inventions, Jazz had a stack of music CD's, Prowl had a T-shirt even though he didn't need it that said 'workaholic' the other said, dad had a picture of all of us in a frame, Ironhide had a few guns and Ratchet had a new tool box. Once all the presents had been opened Mrs Darby went to the human kitchen to finish cooking dinner while we all check out are stuff

I was sat on the sofa listening to the others when I could hear quiet footsteps behind me and I knew exactly who it was

"Don't even think about it you two" I said and turned around to flash a grin at them and they just groaned

"How can you hear us, nobody ever can?" Sideswipe whined

"Ever heard of sensitive hearing?" I asked them

"Yeah, come on Sunny lets go find someone to prank" Sideswipe said and started to walk away

"Don't call me that, glitch" he grumbled and walked away as well but then I was suddenly lifted off the sofa and thrown into the air and I squeaked

"Come on kid, you can't sit there all day why don't you come hang out with the wreckers" Jackie said and through me over his shoulder and walked off

"You know Jackie you're the only one who's ever sneaked up on me" I said loud enough for the twins to hear and smirked when they started whining in protest and I was put down because they started to fight but everyone stopped when Mrs Darby shouted

"Dinner's done" And everybody started to make there way to the table and sat down for food.

Once we finished eating and pulled crackers which the bots thought was a funny idea, everybody was wearing hats we heard a glass being tapped for everybodies attention

"Now I have your attention, I would to thank you all for this day, even though we are at war, I thank the humans for showing us this good tradition to cheer everyone up, I wanted to thank everybody for the help in the war, the one's who are with us, and the one's who are lost but for today we forget about that and celebrate this great day, thank you" Dad said and we all clapped but then there was a whistle

"Hey guys me and prowl have an announcement to make" Jazz said without his accent "You all know that me and Prowl are bondmate" everybody said yes

"Well we have pleasant news" Prowl said

"I'm sparked" Jazz said
