SOrry it took so long. I would have done the replies to the reviews but I was in a hurry to post this so I will do that next time. :)
...
"Sideswipe why don't you take Hope to her room to get some rest." Bee suggests.
"B-but aren't y-you gonna a-ask me what happened?" I ask through my slight whimpering.
He rubs my helm soothingly as he says, "I will; after you've had some rest. You need a chance to calm down first before I start asking you anything?"
Without warning Sideswipe picks me up bridal style and carries me towards my "room". "I can walk Sides." I say.
"I know, but I like carrying you. Plus, I don't want you overexerting yourself. I'm sure you went through a lot when you were with the Cons." He replies.
"You have no idea." I think to myself.
We make it to my room and Sideswipe sits me down on my berth. He goes to leave when I grab his arm. "Are you leaving?"
"Well I figured you'd wanna be alone so you could rest." He replies softly.
"I was alone with nothing but Cons for company for two days. Will you stay with me, please?" I ask pitifully.
He smiles and says, "You bet." He then sits down beside me and wraps an arm around my shoulders. I then lean my head in the nape of his neck and rest my servo on his chest. "I missed you."
"I missed you too. Didn't stop looking for ya." He replies hugging me tighter.
"...I'm never going against Steeljaw again." I mutter.
"I shouldn't have let you take him on the first time. If I would have took him on you wouldn't have been nabbed." He replies.
"Don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault. I told you I could handle it...guess I was wrong." I state.
"A good mechfriend is supposed to protect his femmefriend, and I keep screwing that up." He says.
"Don't do that. Your a great mech friend. Ok?" I argue while rubbing circles into his chest.
"I'm glad you think so. Not so sure your creators would agree with you." He states.
I'm silent at the mention of my creators before I say, "I think they'd love you."
"Ya think?" He asks.
"Yeah I just wish I could actually introduce you." I reply.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought them up." He states.
I smile and say, "Your such a sweet mech. My creators would without a doubt love you."
"I'm glad you think so. I can't wait to meet em."
I'm silent for a bit before I ask, "Do you wanna know what happened when I was with the Cons?"
"Do you wanna tell me?" He asks back.
"Yes. I-
"Then you can tell me later. I'd rather you rest for a while first." He insists.
"Ok." I struggle into his chest and fall into the best recharge I've had in days.
When I wake up I find myself in much better spirits than yesterday. I also notice that SIdeswipe is no longer here. I get up and leave my room. As soon as I do I run into Sideswipe, whose holding two cubes of energon. Without warning I hug him. "Good morning Sides!"
He laughs. "Morning to you too. You look happy."
"I'm back with you guys, so of course I'm happy."
"I'm glad. I brought you a cube. Figured you were hungry." He says holding one out for me.
I accept it. "Your such a sweet mech."
"Well, I try." He says returning the hug that he couldn't before.
"So where is everyone else?" I ask.
"Everyone's here except for Strongarm and Bee. Strongarm was buggin about going on a solo mission, so Bee let her." He explains.
"so wheres Bee then?" I ask.
"My guess is that he followed her." He replies.
"Sounds like him. So, listen I know I just woke up but I really wanna get what happend off my chest. It'll make me feel better."
"Are you sure? I don't want you feeling like you have to." He asks.
"I'm sure. I wanna get it out in the open." I say. We take a seat and I start. "All I ask is that you don't freak out ok?"
"No promises, but I'll try my best." He replies.
"Ok. Well for starters they were good to me, except for Underbite who obviously hated me."
"I guess thats one point for them. What else?" He asks.
"They pretty much left me to myself, except for Steeljaw. He was a frequent visitor. He didn't bother me much until..." I pause.
"Until what? He didn't hurt you did he?" he asks worridly.
"No. Nothing like that. He just...said something that I didn't wanna hear. He said he...liked me."
Sideswipe looks as serious as I've ever seen him. "Likes you? And he just said that?"
"Yeah, but thats not it. He also, um...remember not to freak out." I remind.
"Hold up. He didn't...take advantage of you did he?! I'll scrap him!" SIdes yells angrily.
"No! No! Primus no!" I reply.
"Oh, good. Don't scare me like that. If its not that then what else could it be?" He asks.
"He kissed me." I blurt out.
'That fragger! I'll scrap him!" Sides yells getting up.
I grab his arm. "Don't! Please don't go looking for a fight. It's not that big a deal."
"Not a big deal?! He kissed you! That's not okay!" He exclaims.
"Believe me, I know. But there wasn't much I could do at the time. I was in shock. If it matters I told him to stop and he did." I state.
"I'm sure he didn't as for permission to kiss you so that doesn't matter much." He hisses.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted you to know." I reply.
"I'm glad you did cause now I have a good reason to pound his face in." He says.
"Please don't be reckless. I appreciate your willingness to do so but theres no need." I try to soothe.
"Babe, I'm your mechfriend and a mechfriend is supposed to protect his femmefriend. Not only did I screw that up, but the Con that nabbed you confesses feelings for you and then kisses you.
That's the perfect reason for me to scrap him." He explains.
I hug his waist and say, "I just don't want you to get yourself hurt."
He hugs me back. "Thanks for worrying and don't worry I won't do anything reckless."
"Thank you, and thanks for listening. I feel much better." I state.
"Anytime. Now may I kiss my sweet, beautiful, and amazing femmefriend?" He asks sweetly.
"I'd be offended if you didn't. Come here big mech." I reply while wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Gladly. "He puts one hand on the small of my back and the other behind my head. We lean into each other and share a kiss.
I can pratically feel how much he missed me and how worried he was. His kiss is rather frantic, almost like hes afraid that I'll dissappear. He keeps pulling me closer until theres no space between us, without breaking the kiss. Even though it is slightly frantic its still a gentle and sweet kiss and I can't help but smile in the kiss.
"Kid in the area." Russell announces.
We pull apart quickly and look down and see Russell looking at us very smugly. "You two sure looked cozy." He teases.
"Don't make me squish you." Sides retorts playfully.
I swat his arm playfully before turning my attention to Russell. "Was there something you needed?"
"Actually I just wasnted to see if you were okay. You we're pretty upset yesterday." He replies.
I smile at his thoughtfullness and say, "I'm much better than kyou. Especially now that I'm back here."
"Good." He then rushes up to my leg and hugs it as best he can. "I'm glad your okay. I missed you."
I kneel down and use a servo to lightly hug him. "I missed you too kiddo."
He pulls away as he asks, "You know what I think you should do?" "What's that?" I ask him.
"I think you should stay here for a few days, so you can lay low. That way you can relax and the Con's will have forgotten about ya." He replies.
"Oh don't worry. She'll be doing just that." Sideswipe answers.
"Did I just have an out of body experience?" I turn back to Russell and say, "I completely agree."
"Good. Now you and me can hang out." He replies.
"Sounds good. So is Fixit not good company then?" I ask.
"He's not as cool as you are. No offense to him." Russell replies.
"Can't say I disagree." Sidedwipe adds while rubbing his servo.
"Something wrong with your servo?" I ask.
"Just hurt it is all." He replies.
"Doing what?" I ask.
"He was helping my dad with something." Russell says.
"Oh, well lets go have Fixit take a look at it, just incase." I say.
"I don't need looking at." He argues.
"I wasn't asking." I say in a sing song voice.
"Oh is that so? Well I would hate to anger you." He says playfully as he walks to where Fixit is.
"Good mech." I say sweetly.
Fixit scans his servo as Sideswipe says, "It was Dennys idea to turbo charge our spark plugs."
"You shouldn't be helping Denny with technology he doesn't-
A crash interrupts Fixits rant. We look and see Denny under some of the stasis pods. We walk over and Fixit looks down at Denny. "What do we have here?"
"Coming through." Grimlock announces before lifting the stasis pods keeping Denny pinned.
"Denny Clay, I sincerely appreciate your efforts to improve upon your limited resources, but Cybertronian technology is simply too advanced for the human brain." Fixit states.
"Yeah. Only big brains like ours can understand complicated stuff...like this." Grimlock says while holding up something.
"Grimlock, thats a kazoo." Russell says before blowing into the thing, making it produce a strange noise.
"Agreed. I'm no expert in Cybertronian technology but I'm a pretty handy guy and I can be of a lot more help to you than just providing room, board, and a cover story." Denny says.
"Well if you really wanna help Denny Clay please fix the freaky lip-sneaky clip- leaky drip in your labratory. It is frying my delicate auditory circuits." Fixit says before rolling away.
"Why do I get the feeling this is going to get ugly." I ask Sideswipe.
"Cause your probably right." He replies with a chuckle.
"Hey guys, you wanna watch a movie?" Russell asks.
"Sure." We agree.
For the next half hour we all sit in front of a big t.v. Grimlock lays on his belly and SIdeswipe sits up with his legs out so I can rest my helm on his lap. Denny is currently working on something. It pretty quiet until we hear Fixit say, "I believe we had a discussion about you and Cybertronian technology."
"It wasn't a discussion. It was your opinion, which I strongly disagree with." Denny argues.
"I am well versed in human emotion, and based upon my viewing of a certain doctor on your televisions he would say you have an unhealthy need to prove yourself." Fixit retorts."He would also say to tune in every afternoon at three."
"I have a need alright; to get things done. You've been working with this gizmo, not to mention the weapons Strongarm found, for weeks and you've made zero progress." Denny argues.
"Well I'm in the analyze the problem phase. Pelacrome was not built in a mileneum you know." Fixit says.
"Uh huh. I'm no tv doctor but I think its you whose insecure about his abilities and fear of competition. SO how about you tune in at three." Denny states while going back to work on the Cybertronian device.
Fixit snatches it and stutters as he says, "That"
"Hold it. Looks like theres coorosion. A little scraping might do." Denny says as he prepares to scrap the device.
"Fire in the hole!" Russell yells while running away.
The rest of us make quick work of getting away as well. Its just in time too because the thing blows up. Fixit growls about it and then proceeds to take a Decepticon hunter device and hide it. "Fixit, what are you doing?" I ask.
"I am simply preventing Denny from messing with technology that he doesn't understand." He replies.
"Don't you think you two are being immature?" I ask.
"No maam. If anyone is being immature its him." He says before rolling to the command center.
I sigh. "Good grief." I mutter.
I feel someone hug me from behind me and hear Sidedwipe say, "I don't know about you, but I'm finding this very entertaining."
"Oh, I bet you do." I reply while patting his arm.
"While their bashing it out how about we go spend some time to ourselves. We could finish watching that movie?" He asks.
"Sounds nice, but we should watch it on this one just incase we have to do damage control." I reply.
"Or we need better entertainment by watching those two." He adds with a laugh. He then picks me up bridal style and sits down and places me on his lap.
"You know; your lap's pretty comfy." I state.
"Oh is it? Well I'm glad. Does that mean you'll sit there more often?" He asks.
"Perhaps." I reply jokingly.
Russell comes over and says, "Guys dad and Fixit are at it again."
"Doing what?" I ask.
"Dad's looking for something that Fixit hid apparently." He replies.
I sigh and get off Sides lap. "Damage control."
Sideswipe groans in aggrivation. "Those two are cutting in on our relaxation time together."
We walk over to where Denny is rummaging through his stuff. "Dad, why would Fixit hide the Decepticon hunter from you?"
"Because he's jealous. He saw me fix the blaster and he's worried I'll work my majic on the Decepticon hunter too." He replies.
"Search all you want Denny Clay. It's sweing well hidden." Fixit says. He then realizes he said the wrong thing.
Denny runs over to sewing machines and starts moving them around until he finds the Decepticon hunter. This just makes Fixit grab the other end and the two start playing tug of war with it. "Admit it; I'm better with tech than you. I have a very organized approach."
"ORganized? Have you ever looked at this place? In fact as a favor to you I will reorganize this scrapyard according to Cybertronian principles and design." Fixit replies.
"Stop!" Denny yells while running after him. He drops the Decepticon hunter in the process.
"Should we go break it up?" Grimlock asks.
"Uh, should we sit and watch?" Sides retorts.
He and Grimlock grin and sit on the ground, staring at the two bickering. So for the next hour Fixit moves around Dennys stuff while Denny messes with the command center. Grimlock walks over to Fixit's latest moving project and asks, "Hey, this is where I had my work out area. Where's all my gear?"
"Moved it." Fixit states.
"Where?" Grimlock asks.
"Don't remember." Fixit replies.
"Hey, I can't find my armour polish. Denny said he moved it under the alien thingy but to him that could mean anything." Sideswipe asks.
"This is getting ridiculous." I tell Russell.
"Your right. This is officially out of control." He picks up a megaphone and says, "Both of you stop what your doing and get over here right now."
The two walk over and Russell continues, "You are both important members of this team and if we need something and can't find it because you moved it that could jepordize the whole mission! So stop worrying about your turf and work together. Share your expertice!"
"You moved my snowsledes next to the microwaves?! What kind of system is that?!" Denny asks Fixit.
"Alphabetically. Cybertronian alphabet." Fixit replies.
"These are all going back where they belong." Denny states.
"Oh trust me. Whatever you did in the command center is about to be undone." Fixit yells back.
"Theres either fun coming or a whole lot of damage." Grimlock says. "Or both."
"I vote damage." I say.
Russell picks up the discarded Decepticon hunter and says, "Maybe not."
"Sounds like you have a plan." I say.
"Sure do, and heres what it is." He replies. He then proceeds to tell us the plan and it is brillant.
"Great idea Russell." I praise.
"Thanks. Now lets get those two to stop fighting." He says.
After messing with the device Russell takes it over to the fighting pair. "We were just messing with it and it starting making noise."
"Might be a frequency anomoly." Fixit suggests.
"Or a systems overload." Denny adds.
"Could result in a catastrophic explosion." Fixit states.
"It needs to be disarmed." Denny says.
"To access the Decepticon hunters motherboard the outer casing needs to be removed. The Decepticon hunter must remain completely immoble. I cannot do it myself." Fixit says.
Denny nods and the pair immediatley start to work on the device while the rest of us watch knowingly. "It's going well." I say.
"Let's just hope it stays that way." Russell replies.
Fixit removes the back plating on the device and the pair peek inside. "There's somthing lodged in there." Denny says.
Fixit reaches in very carefully and pulls out the kazoo Russell put in there. "What is it?"
All of us immedately start laughing. "What kind of crazy stunt-"
"The kind that worked." Sideswipe interrupts.
"It made you stop arguing and start working together." Grimlock adds.
The pair look at each other and smile knowingly. Then Denny says, "Fixit, shouldn't that cable be-
"Attached to that terminal? Yes. Hold it very still." Fixit reaches in and reattaches the wire and then reattaches the back plating. He then turns to Denny. "Now, try thinking of a weapon."
"Ok. How about a flail." He replies while touching the device. When he does it producing the weapon he suggested. "You did it!"
"We did it." Fixit corrects. "Perhaps we should work together more often."
"Agreed. In fact the first thing we should do is-
"Duplicate the Decepticon hunter so that everyone on the team may have one." Fixit interrupts.
"Well I was gonna say put the salvage yard back the way it was, but I like your idea too." He replies. The two then go to work on said project.
The boy and mechs do a fist bump. "Good job guys." I praise.
"All in a days work." Russell says.
I go over to Sideswipe and kiss his cheek. "Good job."
"Aww. Well, you know." He says sheepishly.
"Now that they have made peace how about me and you go and finish that movie." I suggest.
"Sounds like a plan, and while we do how does a shoulder rub sound?" He replies.
"For you or for me?" I ask jokingly.
"I meant you, but I wouldn't say no if you turned it down." He replies playfully.
"Well it only seems fair to return the favor, but you rub my shoulders first." I say.
"Yes maam." He gives me a quick kiss on the forehead. "It's good to have you back."
"It's good to be back." I reply.
Hope yall enjoyed. Until next time!
