Megan: And So I'm back!! *dadada* From outer space... Never mind that. Okay. I was just in the signing sorta mood. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of incorporating the lovely song Hot, by Smash mouth( Nope. Don't own it! Wish I did. It's about cars!) Into this story, sometime or another. Maybe as part of the last chapter or something. Cuz, it really seems to fit Sideburn really well. Have you listened to it lately? Heck, I'm listening to it right now! *nods* I love it.
Anyways, you get to meet the two other brothers, X-Brawn and Prowl. Well... You sorta met Prowl already, but he was kinda half awake and dreaming about who-knows what. Something to do with tires? Who can tell with a squat car?
Now. Thank you my reviewers!!
Neko Gal: My first reviewer! EVER!!!!! This Bud's for you! *starts to sing* Just for you! This one's for you! For you? Yes... You!!! ((Man, I've always wanted to write something like that.))
Zeheria: Heck yeah. Sideburn is AWESOME!! I mean, who doesn't love a Viper GTS coupe with an attitude? And one more thing. HOW DID YOU GET HIS AUTOGRAPH! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!
ALPAUS: You love Firebolt too? Good for you! There will be more of her attitude. Aw, heck, the fist thing she says is full of attitude!
So anyways... on with the story!!
Disclaimer: See the first chapter. I don't own anything except Firebolt, the psychotic Ferrari F 50.
Full Summary: Have you ever wondered why the heck Sideburn has that intense love for red Sports cars? Well, there could be the fact that his sister is one. SISTER? Yeah! That's right! The case seems to be that he's been looking for his lil' sis, and doesn't even know it. What'll he think of his new lil sis? And more importantly, what will she think of him hitting on her?!?! Told in Sideburn's point of view.

"Wake up! Man, don't make me get a friggin tow truck."
That woke me up out of my daze. I stared ahead of me, and straight into the headlights of the red goddess that calls herself a Ferrari F 50.
"WELL HELLO THERE!" I was jolted out of my sleep, and started to let my engine run. It was purring nicely, exactly like my mood. Yeah...
"Yes. Hello to you. Now why are you hitting on me?" she said.
"I... Uh... I really love red sports cars. Red exotics are even better! And I think you qualify for the exotic category!!" I said.
"Yes yes..." she said and sighed. "You love me. But it's just for my looks, isn't it?"
"Partially... Mostly... Yes..." I said in a dejected voice.
She backed up from me, and then got ready to drive back into traffic. It was just then when I realized that we were still on the side of the Phoenix highways. I also learned that I had a flat tire!
"Well, bye. I mean, nice to meet you. I guess. You are a nice lookin' Viper, but learn to see past the paint job, buddy." she said.
"AHH! NO! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" I yelled. "I can't drive... I have a flat tire... Don't be a jerk!"
"Your problem." she said.
"What's your name! Just tell me that!" I begged.
"Firebolt." she said. The roar of her V 10 engine was heard over the drone of passing traffic, and she drove off.
After making a call to base and having X-Brawn give me a hand, I was just about ready to head off. But...
"Now hold on there, partner." my big brother stopped me with an arm in front of me. I stared at him. "Y'all have some work to do. You went out on your lil' pleasure drive, and shirked your duties."
"But X-Brawn!!" I complained, and fell over, twitching. "There was this red exotic... And she could talk... And she said her name was Firebolt!!! AND I THINK SHE LOVES ME!!!!!!!!!"
"I reckon you were dreaming." he said, and crossed his arms.
"NO REALLY!" I said, and hit him on the arm. "I even recorded her on video through my optics!!"
"Y'all can give me the data and I'll check it out. Now git, to work!" (A.N.: I had a grade school teacher who apparently thought he was Texan and talked exactly like my favy SUV here. So whenever I was in that class and he would start talking I would laugh. And get in trouble...) he yelled at me. I transformed and drove as fast as I could to the other side of the base where I was fixing the training simulator.
"Why did I have to be built last!! This isn't fair! It's always, "Go check this out, Sideburn!" Or, "Go fix that, Sideburn." It's never, "Go relax, Sideburn, you've earned it!" NOOOO!! It's not FAIR!!" I yelled, as I transformed again and waved my arms around in anger. I started having a little fit for two reasons: I didn't wanna work and I wanted to go out and find that Firebolt girl!
I picked up the wrench, then stared at it for a total of seven minutes. No thoughts ran through my head, just plain stare at the wrench. Total awe of the wrench.
"I'm sure that if you were not inanimate, you would complain about having to work all the time." I told it.
I was faintly aware of the heavy foot-falls of three Autobots coming up to the door, but my conversation with the wrench was very important right now.
"Yes, that is true, you have to work. And I know I have to work also." I said and held it up to my face. "But it seems all I do is work! And whenever I'm on the verge of meeting a new hottie, bang! We're attacked! Or Boom! I have to come back to base and do something."
"..."
"That's right, wrench. I do the work because I hope I can get rewarded with red glory."
Just as I was about to say something else, there was a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Optimus standing there and looking down on me. I jumped up and saluted him.
"Sorry sir!! I didn't mean not to be working... I was just about to get back on the job!!" I said in a hurry. I looked behind him and saw my two brothers staring at me. In fact, X-Brawn seemed pretty fascinate with something on my forehead... I looked up and saw I was saluting with the wrench.
I twitched. "Shut up, big bro." I said, as I put the wrench down.
"Sideburn, your brother showed me your data on this new car that you just met. Now, I'll exempt you from more work right now so that you can go out and find her." Optimus said.
"REALLY?" I yelled, and decided to attack X-Brawn with a huge hug, and knocked him down to the ground. "YOU'RE NOT AN IDIOT!! OOOH THANK YOU!!" I yelled at him.
"Calm it down there, cowboy." he said, and pushed me off. I sat on the ground and smiled blankly at all of them.
"Sideburn, aren't you gonna head out and find her?" Optimus asked.
I nodded. "In a minute. I think I have to get over the shock of this... Me... Not having to work!" I picked up the wrench.
"Did you hear that!" I said to it. "I get to find the love of my life..."
"..."
"Are you okay?" Prowl asked. I looked up at him and nodded a few more times. "Then why are you talking to that wrench?"
"It has been a great help for letting of some steam. It listens to me!" I said, as I got up. I held it to his face. "There we go. You can talk to him while I'm gone!!"
"And do you know where you're heading to?" Optimus asked. I stared up at him and gave him a big smile.
"No." I said.
"You're lucky you have such good brothers." he said, while shaking his head. "Prowl noticed that you caught her licence plate. And with that, he can use that data to track her."
"Oh." I stared at the ground. "So. Where is she?"
"That is why your brothers are going with you." Optimus finished. I let out a yell.
"BUT THAT'S NO FAIR!! I do my best flirting when they aren't around!!" I said.
"You seem to pretty good even when we're with you." Prowl said. I made a face at him, then the three of us headed for the highway network, and when we were just outside of the entrance, we transformed.
"You two stay a good 100 feet back." I said in a low voice. "You two are gonna embarrass me, you know."
"Oh. We won't." X-Brawn said, and let out a laugh.
What's up with him? I thought, as we raced along. He's hiding something... A big something!! OOOH! Maybe he knows the exotic, and he's gonna get me with her!! OOOH!! Okay, Sideburn. Be nice to your brothers!!
I looked at them through my mirrors and laughed.
"Never mind about that, bro." I said. "I was just kidding about the restraining order!"
They both looked at me. I swore I could just see huge sweatdrops rolling down their hoods.
"What the... What the hell is gotten into you!" Prowl blurted out.
"Oh. Nothing." I said.
"Yer scarin me." X-Brawn said. "I knew ya had prablems when ya was talkin to that wrench... But now... Just plain scary."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot! When we transform, lemmie give you a hug!" I said.
"HELL NO!!!!!!" Prowl suddenly screamed at me. He fired up his turbos and got as fast as he could. X-Brawn was just as bad. He fired off a grappling hook and latched onto Prowl's back bumper and got help from getting away from me.
"What? NO WAIT! I WANNA MEET THE F 50!!" I yelled, and raced off after them.
~*~*~*~
"Why is she in California! I liked Arizona better." I said, and pouted.
"So, you want to go back home and wait for her to go to Arizona?" Prowl said. I nearly crashed.
"NO!!" I yelled. I took a good look around at the ocean that lay before the three of us. Yes, it was beautiful. I see why she was here.
"So. Where is she, Prowl?" I asked, and, and looked around. "She in the city, on the beach?"
"She's over by dem mountains. Alone." X-Brawn said. I looked at him, and then over at the cliffs that over-looked the sea. Then I saw a flash of red.
"THERE SHE IS!" I yelled, and raced off.
"WAIT! SIDEBURN! DON'T GO YET!!" Prowl screamed. I ignored him, as I raced off as fast as I could.
The wind rushed over my streamlined body, as I praised Vector Sigma for giving me such a fast form. Within minutes I was at the top of the cliff.
I looked around.
Suddenly...
"Hmph. You again?"
I peered up at a Transformer. She stared down at me. She was in her transformed robot mode, and that alone nearly made my systems crash again. She looked a lot like me, with the same two pieces of the car body that rose up from her back. Her spoiler from her car from was now a piece of armor on her arm and was as sharp as a sword. She had two metal ponytails on the side of her head that seemed to be detachable. In fact... She seemed to look just like a mix of me and Prowl...
"Hey! I was right!" I said, as I shouted out my transformation. I looked at her straight in the eye.
"Right about what? And stop that!" she shoved me backwards and I fell down onto the ground.
"Stop what?" I asked innocently.
She turned her back on me and walked over to the edge of the cliff. Then she sat down. I ran over and sat next to her.
"Why are you stalking me?" she growled, and scooted over away from me.
"Aw. I wanted to find out what you were like." I started to say. Just then, my brothers drove up and transformed.
I put my arm protectively around Firebolt, and looked back at them.
"Go away." I said, "I'm doin real good here!"
"SIDEBURN YOU IDIOT! THAT'S YOUR SISTER!!!!!!!!!!" Prowl screamed at me. I looked at Firebolt, who brushed my arm of her shoulder and crossed her arms.
"I knew that I didn't want you hitting on me." she said.
I gaped at all of them. Then I jumped up and grabbed X-Brawn.
"WHAT THE HELL?????????" I screamed at him.
"Yeh, that's right. Yer sister." He said. Then suddenly, he burst out in laughter. "YOU WANTED HER!! HAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
I dropped him as he fell to the ground and burst out laughing.
"That's not FUNNY!" I complained and kicked him in the leg.
Firebolt was now staring at the sky. She was very intent on watching the sky at the moment.
"Firebolt, I'm your big brother, Prowl." I watched him introduce himself. She held out her hand, but still stared at the sky.
"Nice to meet you bro. Tell me one thing then. Who's that ugly dragon thing in the sky?" she said, and pointed with her other hand.
My head snapped up and I looked at the sky.
"Firebolt... That's Megatron!!" I said. I stomped on the ground. "AW CRAP!!"
She simply stared at him as he came to a rest in the air before her.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here!" he growled. "An Autobot gathering. Were you planning on trying to find our base and attacking us? And what do we have here? A new femme bot?"
He transformed and placed one of his nasty fingers right on my new sister's neck.
Firebolt glared at him.
Oh god! Lil sis!! I... I want to do something!!! I thought, and went supercharged.
Suddenly, my sis held up her hand.
"I'm sure you'll love to see this bro. Just hold on for a Mazda minute**." she said.

Megan: WOO! What's Firebolt got to show the brother trio? Man, don't you feel so sorry for lil Sideburn. Just as he was about to work his mojo ((ya know. Like Austin Powers?)) on her, BANG! He finds out that she's his sister!!
**Mazda minute: I use this a lot now and days. It's saying "I'll show you in a second." It just sounds better!!
