^Twin Comm Speak.^

PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORD

"AHHH!" the children screamed.

"When did you get here?" Kithra exclaimed.

"Skywarp brought me, what do you think? I flew here." Stormclaw pointed to her wings. "I already know the coordinates to this place. I kept annoying Chromia to tell me." she side smiled to Chromia who was in the group, she had just entered along with Ironhide.

"Well, have you heard her? That femme, she talks too much." Chromia said.

"Wait, when did you get the chance to talk to her?" Elita asked her older sister.

"I have my ways to get things done." Stormclaw smirked.

"I taught you well my pupil." Knockout smiled at Stormclaw.

"Thank you, master." Stormclaw bowed.

"Huh?" Raf and Kithra looked up at Stormclaw and Knockout.

"We've known each other since we sparked." Stormclaw smiled.

"Not really, she knew Breakdown before me. I came with my creators." Knockout corrected Stormclaw.

"Fine, but that doesn't make it any less true that we have known each other for a very long time." Stormclaw said as Frenzy and Rumble both came running in being chased by a very angry Ravage.

"What did you two do?" Soundwave asked, regretting it a minute later.

"Let's just say, you only need to look at him to know." Frenzy said, and he and his brother ran and hid behind Jetstream, and Ravage suddenly stopped, you could see that Ravage was covered in oil, energon and feathers, where they found all that, they might never know, especially the feathers.

"AHH! Don't let that thing hurt me!" Jetstream got tears in her optics and ran for Stormclaw.

"You two will help Ravage clean himself up, right now!" Stormclaw picked up the little sparkling crying at her peds, and then scolded the two mini cons.

"OK." Frenzy, Rumble, and Ravage left for the washracks.

"I'm just going with them to make sure that they don't make another mess." Soundwave left with his three mini cons, Lazerbeak detached and started to play with the two remaining sparklings.

"Beaky!" Jetstream started to squirm and Stormclaw let her down.

"Yay!" Jetfury ran over to Lazerbeak, and pet him.

"Let's let those three play for a while, and you six need to go home." Illusion said, Elita walked over to where the four humans were.

"Kithra! Let's go!" Wasp transformed, and started advancing slowly without her.

"Wait! Don't leave!" Kithra threw the controller she had and ran as fast as she could towards Wasp, but since she wasn't that far from Wasp, she ran into Wasp. "Ow." Kithra rubbed her forehead, opened the back seat door, and got in.

"Come on Jack, you know your mother worries." when Arcee said that, Stormclaw got a small smirk on her face plate.

"Arcee!" Jack ran down and both he and Arcee left.

"Let's go!"

"Alright, Bulkhead!"

"Don't leave without me Bee." said Raf, and the two remaining humans left.

"Oh, I forgot that those two left." Illusion frowned, he sighed and left for his room.

"Yeah, me too." Elita got a tear in her eye and she too left for her room.

"Who are they talking about?" Stormclaw asked, as she separated Lazerbeak from a bucket the two sparklings managed to get stuck on him.

"Well, you see, there are eight humans we know, no wait, plus that other agent and his wife, that's ten. You see, two of the four humans they are talking about are their charges, they had to leave today." Bumblebee explained.

"Oh, are they coming back?" Stormclaw asked.

"Yeah, but they are going to be gone for like four or something months." Wasp said.

"At least they're coming back, right?" Jetstream asked innocently.

"Yes, and does any one know what time it is? I really don't keep track of time." Stormclaw asked as Jetfury yawned.

"It's probably 8:50, Ratchet doesn't like the children to stay very long." Chromia said.

"No one does." Ironhide whispered over to Mirage, who had come back.

"Well, we should get back, you two seem tired." Stormclaw picked up the two drifting sparklings. Stormclaw was about to ask for a groundbridge when a scream came from her comm.

(::Stormclaw! How come I found a data pad on the ground near your room with me drawn on here saying 'loud bucket head'!?:) it was Megatron.

Stormclaw winced. "I'm in so much trouble."

"Stormy, what did you do?" Knockout asked.

"I was bored, and dad was teaching me how to read real cybertronian writing, and I started drawing, then when I went back to my room, I must have dropped it the last time I left my room." Stormclaw winced again, just imagining what her father will do when she got back. "I'm not online, I'm just not, I offlined a long time ago." Ratchet opened her a groundbridge, and so, Stormclaw, the two little sparklings in her servos, Knockout, Breakdown, and Soundwave left, the mini cons stayed, they had...something planned for the kids the next morning.

LATER, THE OTHER BOTS HAVE COME BACK

"Now, I'm tired, I'm gonna hit the berth." Bumblebee transformed, stretched, and left for his room.

"I'm going to check if Illusion is OK." Wasp left for Illusion's room.

"I'm gonna check on Elita." Sideswipe left for Elita's room too, Sunstreaker followed him.

"Ironhide, quit it!" Ironhide was doing what seemed to be a noogie.

"But, your small, even when standing next to your brother, you two are about the same height." Ironhide teased.

"I thought you were supposed to be more mature then me, I am way younger then you. Your old." Mirage said.

"Why you little!" Ironhide had Mirage in headlock, and Mirage started squirming.

"Let go!" Mirage exclaimed, no one seemed to be wanting to help him, where were those two jet when you need them.

"Ironhide, let him go." Chromia said, walking over to Ironhide.

"Please help me!" Mirage looked at Chromia.

"Ironhide, let go." Chromia said sternly.

"Alright." Ironhide smirked and let go of Mirage, and he fell.

"You sure are nice." Mirage said quietly, he got up from the ground and left for his room.

"Those two brothers go together like energon and blaster fire." Ironhide said, he was about to say something else, but instead got a wrench to the helm.

"Everyone, recharge now." Ratchet said, he had more wrenches next to him, so all the remaining bots ran out to their rooms, like Unicron was on their tail pipe. As Chromia and Ironhide were on their way to their room, they heard a big...

CLANG

"GO AWAY!" It was coming from what seemed around the corner, and that hall was where Illusion's room was. "Leave me alone!"

CRASH

BANG

SLAM

"I'm sorry." it sounded like Wasp's voice, but barely above a whisper, a few seconds of silence and then Wasp's ped-steps could be heard walking towards where the two grown Autobots were. Chromia grabbed Ironhide's wrist, and lead him back to their quarters.

I didn't know that Andy leaving would upset him so much, Wasp thought to herself. Well, the few months he's known her, and visa versa, they have had time to bond, and all that anime talk rubbed off on him. Wasp sighed (or whatever they do). Kithra hasn't been able to break me yet. she giggled. But that girl has a lot of stuff she knows, not just from Mexico, and Japan. Wasp walked into her room, and looked over at her desk, her time that she spent just in her room, before the children discovered her, she had tinkered with some metal slabs that were already there. She had a picture of her, her brother, Illusion, The Twins, The Jettwins, Elita, Arcee, and Chromia. She remembered that day like it head been yesterday.

Flashback

"It's been a while since the 'cons have attacked. I want to keep this memo. Picture time!" exclaimed a young(er) Wasp.

"Who wants to take the picture with us?!" Bumblebee asked, it had been a while since he lost his real voice, everyone was trying not to say anything about it.

"I'll take the pic." exclaimed Ratchet, then maybe they'll be quiet for a second, and I can enjoy it. he thought.

"Arcee! Elita! Chromia! I know you want to join us!" Sideswipe was already next to the yellow and green twins.

"Sis, could we join them?" Elita looked up innocently at her two older sisters.

"You two can join them, but I won't." Chromia said.

"Thank you." Elita grabbed Arcee's wrist before she said anything.

"Hey jets! You wanna pic for a memo of a short peace?" Wasp asked.

"We are gladly joining you." Jetfire said.

"I am liking idea."

"Chromia! Come on, you know you want to." Bumblebee said.

"Alright." Chromia gave in, she knew that they would beg her until she joined, so she skipped the begging and went right over.

"Hey, where's Illusion?" Wasp looked for him, and she ran inside. "Illusion, do you want to keep this short time of peace alive? I'm taking a pic so that we can remember these past few solar cycles."

"Sure."

"Great!" Wasp grabbed Illusion's wrist and ran back outside. The others were waiting for them and Wasp and Illusion settled in the middle of the group of bots.

"Say, peace!"

"Peace!"

Click

End of flashback

I miss those days. Wasp sighed again, she set the frame down, and went to her berth, but didn't get much recharge, but a few hours before she had to go pick up Kithra, she fell into a light recharge, and a single energon tear slid down her faceplate.

NEXT DAY, THE CHILDREN ARE AT SCHOOL

"Hey, we're back!" Wasp exclaimed as she transformed, there was nobody there, except her, Bee, Arcee, and Bulkhead.

"Is anyone here?" Arcee exclaimed, as she too, transformed.

"I'm gonna check the med bay. Maybe Ratchet is there." Bulkhead went ahead to the med bay.

"Bulk, I'll come with you." Wasp said.

"Alright." Bulkhead and Wasp walked to the med bay.

"Ratch, are you here?" Wasp knocked on the med bay door.

"Doc?" Bulkhead opened the door to see only an empty med bay.

"Let's go check with the others." Wasp said, she started to walk back when she thought she saw something move out of the corner of her optic. Maybe it's just my imagination. she thought.

"Hey, we're back." Bulkhead announced.

"I'm going to check on Illusion. I didn't see him this morning when I left." Wasp left again. "Illusion, I know you got mad at me yesterday." Wasp knocked on Illusion's door for another minute more, and gave up. Where is everyone? We were not gone that long, maybe they went to the Nemesis. Wasp got lost in thought, she didn't realize that someone was calling her.

"Who is this?" Wasp was still half in thought.

It's Andy. I tried calling Illusion, but he wouldn't answer. I thought I'd try his girlfriend. she said over the line mockingly.

"If you were here I would-"

Back to the real topic, is Illusion there? I need to talk to him, I know he was upset, but I just want to talk to him.

"Well, Bee, Arcee, and Bulk, and I got back and the base was empty, I'll call you when we find everyone else, kay?" Wasp asked.

Yeah, oh, and tell Elita and Illusion hi from my brother and I. We just barely got here.

"I will."

Ciao! and with that, the call ended.

Wasp, stood outside Illusion's door, she hadn't noticed that she hadn't moved, she took stood still for another second or two, then turned around, and went back to where she knew the three others were. "Guys, Andy called me."

"Gotcha!" Wasp suddenly got tackled by a blur of blue and black.

"I surrender!" she exclaimed as she landed on the ground with a loud thump.

"When did Andy call?" Illusion asked, he was seated on top of Wasp, with her face to the ground.

"Just a few minutes ago, she said she couldn't get to you, so she called me." Wasp said as she attempted to stand up.

Illusion pushed her head down. "Well, can I call her now, but wouldn't she be in school?"
Wasp got more annoyed. "I don't know, she barely just got there."

"Well, I'm gonna call her." Illusion grabbed Wasp's arm and ran to his room.

"Help!" Wasp exclaimed as she was dragged away. Bumblebee just stood there, confused, for everything happened fast.

"That's solves where Illusion was, but where are everyone else?" Bulkhead asked.

"Here." Mirage appeared.

"But, what about everyone else?" asked Arcee.

"The Twins, and Starscream's sparklings were driving Ratchet crazy, so he went out for a drive in the desert."

"And?" Bumblebee asked.

"Stormclaw caught those three being bad, and took them back to the Nemesis, Knockout, Breakdowns and Soundwave are also on the ship."

"And everyone else?" Arcee was starting to get annoyed.

"Well, Optimus is discussing something with Megatron. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker went with Stormclaw to pull some pranks, the Jets went with them to. Elita is with Chromia, Chromia is with Ironhide, and Ironhide is in an energon mine, helping the minors. Chromia made him." Mirage left without another word.

"Why does he always leave when he's finished talking?" Bumblebee asked no one in particular.

"I don't know, well, but I'm going to my room, I'm going to take a short recharge nap while the base is still quiet." Arcee stretched and left for her room.

"I'm going with with my sister and Illusion." Bumblebee, also left, which only left Bulkhead there.

I'll just go to my room, I know when to pick up Miko. Bulkhead thought.

"So, how's Utah?" Illusion asked.

It's cold, and I saw real snow for the first time. Andy giggled. But I'm being signed up for the school here, but I can't go until next week.

"Really? But, it's only Tuesday." Wasp said.

I don't know, it was something to do with some stuff they need to give me, and putting me in my classes, and all that stuff.

"Have you seen Ale yet?" Illusion asked.

Even if I did, you won't know how she looks like until I come back. I want to surprise you all.

"Well, fine then." Illusion pretended to be insulted.

Hey, is Elita there? it was a male voice, most likely Alex.

"No, sorry. We'll tell you when you guys came back." Wasp said.

But we won't be coming back until July. It was Andy again.

"Well, too bad." Wasp said mockingly.

We're not going to find out much while we're gone, aren't we? Alex asked.

"You'll know stuff, just not a lot." Illusion said. Illusion was about to ask Andy something, but was suddenly hugged from behind. "AHH!"

"I am a ghost, give me your energon goodies, and no one gets hurt."

"Mirage!" Illusion and Wasp both exclaimed at the same time.

We have to go, but I'll call tomorrow. Ciao! Once again, she ended the call.

"Don't do that again Mirage!" Illusion exclaimed angrily at his brother. He does stuff like that a lot, that sneaky bastard. he thought.

"Well, you two have fun, I'm out." Mirage left.

"Huh?" Wasp wondered what was up with Mirage, he usually wasn't loud, especially when any one besides his brother was around. This time she was there, and she could sense Bumblebee was close. "Bee?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you here?" she asked, she had a smile on her face-plate.

"I was bored, so I thought I would join you guys." Bumblebee stayed by the door.

"Well, Andy had to go, so do you want to play video games?" Illusion said.

"Sure, I'll race you!" Bumblebee said, then he and his sister raced to the rec room. Illusion also ran, but with less effort then the other two.

"I beat you! Hahaha!" exclaimed Wasp.

"Well, I beat Illusion." Bumblebee said on his defense.

"I wasn't trying, you know?" Illusion said as he walked in. "So, who wants to race for real, not in video games?"

"Us!" Wasp and Bumblebee exclaimed at once.

"We're in! What ever it is." Sideswipe said, walking out of the groundbridge that had just opened.

"Alright, we're racing, but not the video games." Illusion said.

"Can I participate?" asked Knockout.

"Sure!" Wasp exclaimed as she hugged him.

"Watch the paint." Knockout said threateningly (lie, he laughed!).

"Alright! What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Sideswipe and Sunstreaker transformed and raced out the base into the desert.

"Let's go before any one sees them." Illusion said, and the rest of them followed, and by the rest that means the rest that were racing.

Wasp had been worried for Illusion. But after they both talked with Andy, he had been calm, and Wasp was happy again. I'm glad he's not mad at me, like he was yesterday.

"Hey, Wasp, are you coming?" Illusion asked.

That snapped Wasp out of her thoughts. "Yeah." She advanced slowly, then transformed and raced off to follow the others, Illusion was right behind her.

"Alright." the bots that were racing lined up. They all transformed to robot form and stood as if they were ready to run.

"Let's this interesting, who ever get there first wins something." Sideswipe suggested.

"Like what?" asked Illusion and Wasp in unison.

"How about..."

ME: Cliffhanger! I couldn't think of much in this chapter, so here you go.

Miko: This chapter was boring.

ME: Shut up!*tackles her to the ground*

Kithra: Can I say something?

ME: *looks up at Kithra* Sure *goes back to fighting with Miko* Ow! She bit finger!

BB: Should I separate them?

Wasp: Do you want to lose a servo?

BB: *now scared* no!

Illusion: You two boys are too scared to separate them? Let me do it. *grabs the two girls by their shirts*

ME: Why?

Miko: I was winning *side smiles*

Andy: Am I going to appear more?

Me: Yes, but not that often. maybe every other chapter, and I said maybe.

Andy: Your mean!

Me: This is how it's going! So be quiet.

Andy: Make me * she said mockingly*

Illusion: I just pulled you and Miku apart! Don't even thing about it! *threat stare*

Me: Alright, enough of the babbling, I'm going to finish a sketch of Illusion and then write the next chapter, and hey I drew Stormclaw! If you want to see her, go to my profile and in my gallery she will be there! Since I can't draw robots, she looks like a human with armor, just use your imagination for the rest! Ciao!
