The week following was quiet, boring and emotional. I tried not to talk to a lot of people, I didn't feel like it. I ate lunch at the table with Prowl and Ironhide, but we didn't talk. They'd drink Energon from a water bottle, and let me eat in silence.

I asked Ironhide why they were drinking their blood, only for him to laugh as Prowl explained everything to me.

On Monday, N.E.S.T had people go and bring all my stuff from my house, put it in boxes and put them in my room. I had unpacked everything that day, Prowl did help, so did Ironhide but he was busy 'training' soldiers. I had a feeling 'training' meant 'beating the crap out of soldiers'.

Sunstreaker avoided me a lot, but I did the same. He seemed to have a reason though, every time he saw me, he'd either start talking to someone else, avoiding eye contact, or he'd leave. Where as I didn't have a reason. He just bugged me, and I wasn't up for talking, or fighting, with an egotistical ass. Or aft, as they said.

On Thursday, it was really hot, so all day, when I wasn't working, I sat in Ironhide's truck, the air conditioning blasting cool air in my face. I don't know if I bugged him or not, but he said he was really hot too. I felt bad for him, I didn't know these guys could get hot, and because of his black paint job, I had a feeling he attracted the most heat.

One day, Prowl walked in to the Med Bay, holding, what he called, a 'data pad', and fainted when he saw me holding Ratchet's wrench, swinging my legs back and forth as I sat on the counter.

Ratchet said it was 'glitching' not fainting, and it was because Prowl's brain, or processor, glitches when it cant find an answer to something, and something unexpected can often scramble his processors as well. But, most of the times Prowl glitches when he comes across something illogical. Apparently, his battle and logic 'computer' part if his processor is so advanced, he can't handle anything illogical.

I just thought he died.

I walked into the main hangar, coming from the Med Bay, completely ready to head towards my room and relax. It was my weekend, but hanging around Ratchet was kind of amusing, because we were so alike when it came to work, so I knew when not to bother him.

"Lily!" Sideswipe skipped over, flinging his arm over my shoulders. I looked at him through the corner of my eyes "Watcha doin'?" he asked. I grumbled at him, pulling my hair out of it's ponytail, causing it to fall down my back.

I ran a hand through my hair, brushing it with my fingers.

"Wow, Lily you're hair is long. Is it touching you're legs?" Lennox asked. I yawned, covering my mouth

"S'cuse me. Yeah, it reaches the bottom of my tail bone" I mumbled, bending over at my hip. My hair fell over my head, touching the ground, before I collected it with my hands. I pulled the elastic over all of it, tightening the band when I wrapped it around my hair three times

"Has it always been that thin?" Epps asked "And that color? It's nice"

"Yeah, it's been this thin since I started growing it out in Grade 5. This is my natural color; I hate it" I flicked the ponytail, sending strands of it flying. Optimus chuckled, as did Epps and Lennox.

"So, you wanna hang out today? Sideswipe and Lily day? How's that sound?" Sideswipe asked "We can do what femmes do, you know shopping, beach stuff. I mean, that's what all femmes do... right?" he asked. I looked over to him, as did everybody else. I raised an eyebrow at him, and he glared

"Stop it!" he said, looking away. I smiled at him "Come on! I have an idea" he grabbed my hand, dragging him along

"Bye Lennox, Epps, tell Ironhide I need to see him after I get ba..." was all I could yell out before Sideswipe pushed me into his alt.

His holoform slipped into the driver's seat

"Where are we going?" I asked, raising an eyebrow again.

"Somewhere, say good bye to Sunny" he smirked, rolling his window down. I stuck my head out the window.

"Bye Sunny!" I yelled, waving. His head snapped towards me and he bared his teeth, his alt's engine growling deeply. I brought my head back in the car, settling in the seat.

The seat belt flew out, wrapping around my waist and clicking in spot. I rested my head against the head rest.

"Sideswipe, where are we going? I'm really not in the mood for a lot today" I said, crossing my arms.

He sighed, glancing at me from the corner of his eye

"I know, the week has been stressful for you. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help. We aren't doing anything that strenuous today, just something relaxing. I promise you, Imma cheer ya' up today" he said.

"Don't use Jazz's accent and try to make it work, only he can make it work" I hit him on the top of his head lightly, smiling. He chuckled, patting my leg. He kept it there, but I ignored it.

I reached out, turning the radio on. RUDE by Magic came on through the speakers. I looked out the window, leaning my forehead against the see through glass. I sighed, fogging up the window.

I giggle, bringing my finger up to me a smiley face. I felt Sideswipe chuckle at my actions. Literally, his whole alt. mode vibrated, the seat warmed up.

The smiley face disappeared into the glass, making me smile again.

Sideswipe rubbed his thumb back and forth on my jean pant, before removing his hand. He didn't put them on the wheel, he didn't have too. He was the car.

"Did you hear about the new arrivals?" he asked all the sudden

"More of you? Oh great!" I sighed. He laughed out loud, his voice coming from his holoform, but the seat shook again.

"Yup, more of us cutie" he laughed, placing his forearm against my shoulder. I looked at him and a small smile crept up


"So, what now?" Sideswipe asked, holding a bag in his right hand, his arm flung over my shoulder.

In the bag was two pairs of jogging pants, a pair of red Nikes, courtesy of Sideswipe because I 'need more red in my wardrobe', a yellow shirt (that we were going to tattoo a red 'Autobot' sign to in the middle) and leftover Spaghetti from lunch. For the first time since arriving to Earth, Sideswipe tried human food. The look on his face was priceless!

He finished all his lunch, but I didn't, I wasn't that hungry.

"I don't know! I was content with going to my room and sleeping all day! This is Sideswipe and Lily day, not Lily and Sideswipe. You have to come up with something." I laughed as he drew his brows together.

"Hmm, well I don't think you want to shop anymore" he cringed, probably remembering my whining when we did shop "How about... How about we head back to base and play video games?" he asked. I looked up at him and nodded

"Sure" he smiled down at me "If... you give me a piggy back!" I smirked. He sighed, tossing his head back. He thought for a second, then crouched down.

I smiled, going up behind him and jumping onto his back. He straightened up, handed me the white plastic bag, then hooked his hands under my knees. I laughed, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Ok, let's go" he laughed as he began walking. There was a laugh which caused me to look that way. A woman, probably in her late 50s, early 60's. She smiled at me, then nudged the man, who looked about the same age, and pointed to us.

I looked away, not really wanting to feel obliged to wave. I stuffed my nose into his neck and inhaled deeply. When I released the air in sigh, he shuddered.

Sideswipe reached his alt. mode, letting me slip down. Before I could reach out to grab the door, it swung open. I slipped in, feeling the seat belt come out. I placed the bag on the floor, then leaned back.

His holoform slipped into the driver's seat, and, without touching anything, the engine started up in a growl. The wheels rolled forward, and he steered out of the parking lot.

Instead of taking the highway, he veered around the back roads until we came into the middle of the town.

"Sideswipe! Stop here!" I gasped. He quickly applied the brakes, seeing as no one was behind us, and turned into the parking lot. I jumped out, slamming the door behind me. The line was empty, and everybody looked bored.

The elder lady that had taken my order when I was with Prowl smiled at me. Her name tag read Elizabeth

"I love your name" I smiled at her

"Why thank you deary, what's yours?" she smiled back, turning the screen on "Same thing as last time?"

I was shocked that she remembered my last order, but nodded "Yes please; my name is Lily" I reached into my back pocket, pulling out Dad's old wallet. I handed her a ten dollar bill, to which she smiled. She tapped the order into the screen, then pulled the required change back. I put the dollar bill in the tip jar, slipping the 50 cents into my back pocket.

"Here you go." she handed me my stuff, and smiled "Have a wonderful day Lily"

"And to you Elizabeth: I smiled as I exited. I heard her laugh and walked over to Sideswipe's car. I stepped in, the seat belt coming out to meet my waist. It clicked shut, and he looked at me, raising his eyebrows

"Tim Hortons? Do you really need that?" he asked

"Ironhide asked the same thing" I muttered "Yup!" I smiled, tipping the straw towards him. He leaned forward, wrapping his mouth around the straw. He drank some of the Iced Capp, before he straightened back up.

I saw his Adam's apple bob up and down as he swallowed, before his eyes widened.

"Holy Primus! That's good" he said, starring at the extra large drink I was holding. I laughed, held the drink out to him, and smiled when he dropped his, taking a large sip.

When he finished, his alt. mode drove out. I rubbed the tip of the straw clean, then took sip, before taking a bite of my muffin.

He laughed and sometime later, turned down N.E.S.T's road. I finished the muffin, but my Iced Capp was an extra large, so there was plenty left. Sideswipe did help drink it though, I think he was hooked.

He pulled to a stop, before he deactivated his holoform and reactivated it at my door. The seat belt flew out, into it's holster, and Sideswipe's holoform opened the door for me.

I smiled at him, bowing

"Why, thank you kind sir" I smiled. He bowed back.

"It was my pleasure" He laced his arm through mine, like a father would for a daughter at a wedding. He smiled at me, then dragged me into a room.

There was a huge couch, the perfect size for an Autobot, then there were 3 couches, human size. There was 2 TVs, one human sized, one robot sized, and 2 coffee tables, again, two different sizes. There was a giant Xbox, and human Xbox, and tons of games.

Sideswipe sat me on the couch, then walked over to the Xbox

"You play?" he asked over his shoulder

"Only Halo, played that for a long time, before ... you know" I said, picking up a remote.

"You see the new one? Halo 4?" he inquired, to which I nodded a 'no'.

"That-"

"Sucks" someone cut him off. My head snapped towards the door, to see Sunstreaker in his 'bipedal' form.

"Hey Sunny" Sideswipe waved a hand. Sunny growled at his brother, walking over to the big couch. The floor shook when he walked by, and I watched the couch's spring squeak when he sat down.

He looked at me, but quickly looked away. I scoffed, shaking my head.

"What is your problem?" I asked "If it isn't being egotistical, it's being ignorant." he looked over at me, his face blank for a second, before he growled, his ey-optics changing to a darker blue.

I scoffed, shaking my head "What's my problem? Squishy, your species is disgusting, you're not that good of a mechanic. I'm surprised you haven't been fired yet. If I was Lennox, you'd be gone." he snarled the last word

"I know I'm not impressive. I'm aware of that. Hell, I've only worked at one mechanic's shop, but maybe I will quit. I'm working my ass off, for you and your stupid alien species, and all it's done for me is nothing! Maybe, I will leave, and you can clean yourself, and everybody else." I glared at him. He went to go talk, but I spoke before him

"I understand, Sunstreaker, you lost your family, your friends, hell you lost your planet. I've only lost my parent, you lost your planet. But you're on my planet, you'd think you'd be thankful. If humans didn't agree with you being here, your stupid metal ass would be floating in space." By now, Sideswipe was staring at me and Sunstreaker in his holoform, gaping

"If we wanted, your whole species would be extinct, you'd be dead" Sunstreaker growled, leaning down and putting his fist close to me on the ground

"You know what, you're right. You could kill me. And you know what, I hate you, you hate me, it's a surprise you haven't done it yet. Maybe you can go join those Decepticons. Then you'd be morally allowed to as well. Wait, you don't have feelings, or a conscience, so never mind. Do it." I glared at his optic, seeing as I couldn't look at both "I dare you" I hissed through my teeth.

His whole body jerked back, surprise was obvious on his face

"Lily, I didn't mean that I wanted to ki-" he started, which surprised me

"Just... shut up." I closed my eyes, lifting my hands to my head, and shoo them there a little, turning around. I walked over to Sideswipe, who was still watching us wide eyed, mouth agape, and I kissed his cheek

"Thanks for today Sideswipe. I'm going to my room. I'm not in the mood for games anymore" I turned on my heel, and leaving the room.


"Sunstreaker" Sideswipe said as he transformed into his bipedal mode "What was that?" he asked his twin, who was watching the door, almost like if he stared long enough, Lily would return.

"I..." he almost trailed off "I don't know"

"Sunny, I know she makes you angry, but why? Why do you do stuff like that?" he asked, looking at his brother's face

"Sideswipe, I don't know. I just- she makes me- ah" he rubbed the back of his helm, gritting his dentas together

"Sunstreaker, I'm your twin. Your other half. I can feel what goes on through your Spark. Don't you think I feel it too when I'm around her? Why don't you just... become her friend? Or, at least, be nice or polite to her. Look, today I took her out to help her relax. I mean, you know what it's like to lose someone, we know what that's like. Can't you just-"

"I was there Sideswipe" he grumbled, rubbing the back of his helm

"What?" his twin asked "What do you mean?" he asked as he sat next to his twin.

Sunstreaker sighed, looking at the floor.

" I mean, the night her female parental unit offlined, around 3 in the-" he paused to find the right word "morning, she walked out of the base. I thought she as just going for a walk but... I don't know, I wanted to follow her. When I did find her, she was, what do they call it, um crying! That's what they call it. She was crying. It sounded like she yelled before, unless Ironhide roars in his sleep. I..." he paused again.

It was hard for him to admit all of this. He was Sunstreaker. The cold, heartless mech that didn't, ever admit feelings. He hated humans, so why this one was so different, he didn't know

"I comforted her. I don't know if she knows it was me or not, but I felt like I needed to do it."

"Why didn't tell her?" Sideswipe tried arching a brow, but only managed to get both of them up.

"Because... I don't know" he sighed "I just, didn't tell her. I don't regret it though. Something weird is going on"

"Tell me about it" Sideswipe said "Every time I'm around Lily, my Spark sings, almost. Should we tell Ratchet?" he asked, looking at his twin

"I don't know. Ah, I hate humans, and Earth" Sunny grumbled, leaning his forearms against his knees.

"Well, maybe you should hang out with her. Like, today that was what I did with her today. And it felt good, like physically it felt good." Sideswipe smiled when he remembered giving her a piggy back; when she blew into his neck, then took another breath in, only this time it was into his neck. Yeah, that felt good too.

"I- I, Sideswipe would that be a good idea? I mean, every time we talk together, we always end up fighting." Sunstreaker asked, looking at his twin's optics

"Well, you can at least try." Sideswipe shrugged, picking up the big game remote as the Cybertronian TV turned on, the video game coming online.

The video game started, the credits rolling over the screen.

"Well, I guess, bu-"

"Good. Now pick up a controller. I'm going to whoop your aft in Assassin's Creed" Sunstreaker smirked, grabbing the controller from his brother, and waiting for the screen to change


I sat in Ironhide's alt. mode again, the A/C blasting in my face. Last night I hadn't returned to see Sideswipe or anybody else, I stayed in my room for the rest of the night. It was Sunday and it was hot. Ironhide hadn't even transformed up since he woke up. He claimed that, when he transformed, it could get really hot, because of the plates rubbing together, and everything moving at an extremely fast pace.

My feet, which sported blue ankle socks, were propped up on his dash board, my hair in a high ponytail, as always. I wore a black tank top, and a pair of white, stretchy shorts. My shoes, the red ones Sideswipe bought me, were on the floor.

Ironhide grunted, causing me to look at the radio

"What?" I asked. He rolled the window down, and Sideswipe's smiling face, accompanied by Sunstreaker's scowling form, stood there.

"Can we help you?" I asked, taking my feet off the dashboard.

"Yes. Ironhide, can we steal Lily?" he asked. I heard Ironhide growl a little

"No. I'm enjoying her company." he responded

"Come on 'Hide. We'll give her back later" he pouted, his bottom lip sticking out a bit. I gotta admit, he looked cute!

"Fine" Ironhide's door swung open, hitting Sunstreaker accidentely. Sunny growled at him, but didn't say anything. I slipped on my shoes, hopping out.

Sideswipe smirked when he saw my shoes, winking at me. I laughed a little, and patted Ironhide's hood

"Thanks Muscles" I muttered. Sideswipe went to grab my hand, but I pulled my hand away "Piggyback"

Sideswipe sighed out loud, more like a heay breath of frustration

"I did it last time! Sunstreaker! Give her a piggyback"

Sunstreaker's browd creased at the middle "Piggyback?" he asked

"Yeah, she jumps onto your back, and you hold her there by-m you now what, just Google it" Sunstreaker's eyes seemed to almost, distance, before he blinked and looked at me

"N-"

"Sunny" Sideswipe's voice was warning, but remindful. Sunny rolled his eyes, then crouched down. l quirked an eyebrow, and jerked back.

"Are you getting on or not?" he asked impatiently. I looked at Sideswipe, who smiled. I shrugged, then walked oer and crawled onto his back. He gripped my knees, and stood up.

"Ok, let's go" Sideswipe walked towards the room we had gone into last night

"Sideswipe, it' hot out today, I'm hot today. I don't really want to do anything." I sighed, temporarily forgetting it was Sunstreaker who was giving me a piggyback. I rested my head on his shoulder, and, doing what I did to Sideswipe yesterday, taking a deep breath in.

When I released the breath, instead of shuddering, like Sideswipe did, he leaned his headd towards me, before shaking his head up and walking forward again.

I closed my eyes, trying not to get too hot today. We passed a couple of soldiers in the hall, who gave a surprised expression to Sunstreaker. He growled at them, and I wondered how they survived. I was in shorts and a tank top and I was still hot. They wore pants, and some of them wore jackets, and they weren't dying.

How, I don't know.

We entered the room, using the small door, and walked over to the couch. Sunstreaker let me down and Sideswipe sat on one side of me. Sunstreaker boxed me in, sitting on the other side, and Sideswipe handed me a remote.

"We didn't get to play yesterday" he smirked, the TV coming on. I smiled at him, seeing Sunny grab a controller in the corner of my eye. Oh yeah, I was going get my butt kicked


And, done! Please review, favorite and follow, plus vote on the poll if you haven't already!

So there you have it! Feelings have started, just a matter of time before huggies and kissies start happening, but that is still long ahead

And, Zipitnow, yes, my Mare (female horse) is getting tired of the babies. Just the other day, one of them, the little boy, was running, and he hasn't learned to stop quickly yet, so because he couldn't 'brake' in the field, he ran under Mom's stomach, then jumped around and kicked her in the bum. She wound up squealing at him, it was quite the show! And, the little girl has taken a liking to screaming at the top of her lungs when Mom tries to take her afternoon nap. Sometimes she'll step over her neck to wake her up. But, their still little, so they want to have fun, the other day we went for a walk. Well, My mare, Gabby, and I went for a walk. The babies went for a run. And they both got to meet their Dad, to whom they too liking too. Mom's very protective though, she loves them. They're just bratty!
