Slugbug let out a huge sigh of relief, as his stressful day was over. He had been running around all day. After getting up his siblings, including Kryptonight, to get ready for the day, it was Slugbug and Kryptonight's responsibility to get them all where they needed to go as Hotshot and Starscream were too drunk to take care of all of them this morning. Slugbug dropped Snowseeker and Aquaformer off with Jazz and Prowl while the triplets Minutemade, Redlightning, and Luckycharms were dropped off with Scavenger and Smokescreen. The only one Slugbug did not have to worry about was Izach/Zippy, as Melissa had taken care of him. Slugbug made sure that Kryptonight got to Thundercracker and Skywarp on time to learn more about being a seeker.
And once all those ones were dropped off, Slugbug headed to Optimus Prime and Red Alert's room, to babysit Sideways, Blueblast, Bluebolt, and Lawnmower while Optimus headed to the command post while Red Alert headed to the med bay to help his father Ratchet. And now that Slugbug was there, he was not just a babysitter, but it was his job to help the sparklings learn how to defend themselves. And after teaching many different techniques, Slugbug added one on top of it – learning how to use the twisty tunnels of the base to one's advantage. And after about four earth hours, Optimus returned and Slugbug was off to help the glitchy security director trap Sunny and Sides who had just pulled yet another prank. Without hardly any effort, or so it seemed, Slugbug had them captured and in the brig before the glitchy security director even knew what happened.
And once that was done, which only took about 20 earth minutes, Slugbug was back into his parent's quarters to help them over the hangover. The sad part was this was not the first time that Slugbug had taken care of them after they had over-energized, thought it was not a regular occurrence. And with Slugbug's help, Hotshot got off to his shift on time, though still a little groggy. Slugbug then concentrated more on Starscream, and soon had the seeker up and about though Slugbug called Prowl and told him that Starscream was not going to make it as he was way too hung over. Prowl acknowledged, as Prowl had learned that when Slugbug called, it was a serious matter. And once Slugbug had called Prowl and gotten Starscream safely back in the berth, it had been 5 earth hours, and it was time to gather everyone back up.
Slugbug headed to Prowl and Jazz's room first and picked up Snowseeker and Aquaformer, both of whom were talking all about their day while Slugbug listened as they went to grab the triplets. And soon, they had also picked up the triplets. Aquaformer and the triplets were tired, and so while Slugbug took the biggest triplet and Aquaformer, Snowseeker took the two smaller triplets and the group headed to pick up Kryptonight.
Once they reached where the seekers had been practicing, Slugbug called to Kryptonight, who immediately flew down and took the triplet from Slugbug and the two from Snowseeker, as Kryptonight had a wider arm span. Slugbug then picked up Snowseeker in addition to Aquaformer, and both were fast asleep in his arms. And seeing that everyone was in tow, Slugbug and Kryptonight headed back to the quarters with the sleeping youngsters in their arms.
And since Hotshot was not back yet, and Starscream was still sick in bed, Kryptonight watched the young ones nap while Slugbug made dinner. And as soon as dinner was available, the oldest sparklings fed their siblings and got them ready for bed and placed them in bed. By the time the bedraggled Hotshot came back to the quarters, all the young sparklings were in bed, Starscream had been fed in bed by Slugbug. Kryptonight was in bed. Hotshot saw that Slugbug was in the kitchen and Hotshot went in and found himself served an energon dinner. Hotshot was surprised at just how good a cook Slugbug was, but said nothing as Slugbug was busy cleaning up the quarters. And after Hotshot finished dinner, he headed straight to bed, hoping to sleep off the rest of the effects of the hangover.
And once Hotshot and everyone was in bed, Slugbug quickly finished cleaning the quarters. He changed the "diapers" on all three of the triplets, plus Aquaformer who was transitioning from being "padded" t being "unpadded." And once Snowseeker had finally been calmed from a nightmare, Slugbug was finally able to have time to himself. And so, now that it was finally quiet and peaceful, Slugbug crawled through a favorite tunnel of his and sat on the roof under the night sky with the stars glowing and the moon shining above. Slugbug, tired and over exerted began to shedding quiet little energon tears. He worked hard and tried but never got what he wanted in return – love, love and attention from his parents. It just seemed like he did not matter. He just wanted to disappear, and so he continued crying as he sat on the top of the base.
Optimus, still up, was checking around the base. His mate and family were asleep, but something was bugging Optimus, and something had made the commander check the base. And once the commander finally went up to the roof of the base, he saw the little form of Slugbug curled up and staring up at the sky, leaking energon tears. Optimus quietly approached the small sparkling, and as Slugbug laid there, Optimus gently picked him up and Slugbug just snuggled in. and though Slugbug knew it was Optimus, the hug that he received meant more to him than anyone would realize as was stated before, all he wanted was love and attention, and though this was not from his parents, getting a hug and attention from somebody who cared about him was better than nothing. And with that, the tired little sparkling fell asleep in Optimus Prime's arms. And so ended the busy day.
