Hello, my fellow Autobots! It is I, Alpha Prime! Not many people commented on which couple I should do, so I decided to go with what I liked best from the one that did; OC X Sunstreaker and OC X Sideswipe! Now, on with the show!
"What're we even doing, Ember?"
"Be quiet, Lightning!"
The blue femme rolled her optics. Her twin had been making her wait for a whole earth hour now, and her legs were getting sore from crouching behind a couch in the rec. room for so long.
Topspin then walked through the door, but as soon as he did, a bucket fell from the doorway and onto his head, the bright pink paint inside spilling itself all over him. He then slipped on the paint and fell onto the ground, the bucket stuck on his head.
Ember started to laugh uncontrollably, and Lightning allowed a small smile onto her lips, seeing as how no one could see it behind her mask. Then, standing up and stretching out her legs, she said to her sister, "Come on, before Prowler gets here and we're thrown into the brig."
"Good idea, sis." Ember grabbed her sister's hand, and pulled herself to her feet.
"Did you two do this?"
The femme twins flinched, and Ember muttered, "Ah, slag..." she turned around with her hands in the air. "Alright, yeah, I - Sideswipe? Thank Primus! I thought you were Prowler!"
The red mech grinned at her, saying, "Good thing I'm not. I don't think I could handle being such an uptight mech!"
Lightning looked past the two, and saw Sunstreaker behind his red brother. "Hello, Sunstreaker."
"Hey Lightning. Ember pull you into a prank?"
"Pretty much."
"Didn't tell you about it?"
"Yeah."
"Gonna avoid Prowler for a cycle or so?"
"Along with Blacklight."
"Pretty much every day with Sideswipe."
"I can imagine. Ember and I have heard about your guys' history in pranking."
"Frag!" Ember yelled, grabbing the attention of everyone currently in the room.
"What?" Lightning and the Terror Twins asked her.
"Lights and Prowler are on their way! Scram!" Ember exclaimed, grabbing Lightning's servo as she tried to run through one of the other exits that wasn't currently blocked by Topspin.
"Wait!" Sideswipe exclaimed as he and his golden twin gave chase. "How do you know they're coming?!"
"Do you really think I would go through with a prank without first hacking into the security cameras?!"
"You hacked the security cameras?! Oh, we are so dead!" Lightning murmered, clutching her helm with her free hand.
"Why didn't we think of that?" Sideswipe asked his twin, to which Sunstreaker merely shrugged.
"We need somewhere to hide until they calm down!" Ember said, running down the hall and past several confused mechs.
"Aren't you two Wreckers? Can't you hide with them?"
"Lights is a Wrecker too! She'd know the second we went to them!"
The two mechs shared a glance. "Well... we know a place you can lay low for a while."
"Thank the Allspark! Where is it?"
"This is the worst hiding spot ever." Lightning's optic twitched as she observed the room.
It was in terrible disrepair, the paint on the walls starting to peel with parts of the ceiling either hanging by some old wires or crumbling on the floor in a rusting heap.
"What? It's a great place to hide!" Sideswipe countered, sitting down in a rather new looking chair.
"There's no security cameras here, and the walls were apparently designed to hide spark signals on the inside from anything on the outside." Sunstreaker explained, lounging in another chair and calmly picking up a blank canvas along with painting supplies.
"So you mean that even if a bot were standing in front of the door, they wouldn't be able to tell that we're in here?"
"Nope." Sideswipe pulled a comic book out of his subspace, and he started to flip through the pages.
Lightning blinked, but then sighed in defeat. "Alright, might as well get comfortable."
Sunstreaker watched as she pulled a datapad and stylus out of her subspace, and his curiosity got the better of him. "What you doing?"
"Hm?" Lightning looked up briefly. "Oh, just writing."
"Cool." Sunstreaker put down his painting stuff, scooting his chair closer to her. "You like to write?"
"A little. Though, I'm not exactly the best..."
"Nonsense! Here, let me see what you've got so far."
Lightning blushed slightly behind her mask, looking at Sunstreaker's outstretched servo. After a nanoclik, she hesitantly put the datapad into his servo.
Bringing it to optic level, the golde mech asked the blue femme, "So, what's this about?"
"It's about this femme that has to grow up in the slums of her city until she reaches what the earthlings call her 'teen' years. She has to learn how to survive on her own, who she can trust, and who she can't."
"Sounds like a great story. I bet I'll enjoy it." Sunstreaker replied, and his optics started to scan the datapad.
While Sunstreaker was reading and Lightning was patiently waiting, Sideswipe looked over to Ember to see that she was molding something between her digits. Pointing at it, he asked, "Hey, Ember, what is that stuff?"
"Something Sonic had made. We learned a lot about earth through radio signals that managed to reach our ship, and I took an interest in clay sculpting. So, Sonic had whipped some chemicals together, and made me my own clay! It remains moldable unless heated to extreme temperatures, which then makes it indestructible."
"Awesome!" Sideswipe got out of his chair and sat right beside Ember, their arms barely touching. "What you making?"
Ember could feel her spark speeding up, but she managed to keep her cooling fans off... but just barely. "Eh, I've got no idea. I just tend to move a lump of the stuff around in my digits when I don't have anything else to do."
"Well... how about you make it look like me?" Sideswipe asked, a grin on his lips.
Ember was suddenly very glad for her red color scheme, because if she didn't have it, he certainly would have seen her blush. After trying to calm down her rapidly-pulsing spark and controlling her heating fans, she squeaked out, "S-sure, why not?"
Sideswipe smiled, and made a pose for her. He had pulled his blaster out of his subspace, holding it on his right shoulder as he placed his left hand on his hip, with his feet set apart slightly.
Ember got comfortable in front of him, and she started to mold the clay.
An hour later
"Alright, I've finished it!"
Sideswipe moved from his position, putting his gun back in his subspace. He then started to strecth out his sore limbs, a crack being heard every now and then.
Ember handed the sculpture to Sideswipe, a nervous expression on her face. "Well, do you like it?"
Sideswipe carefully took it from her, and started to look it over. After a few agonizing seconds for Ember, he finally stated, "It's great! Man, you even got the chips in my paint!"
Ember sighed in relief, and was glad once again for her red color scheme.
While the two red trouble-makers were talking about the sculpture, Sunstreaker handed the datapad back to Lightning, stating, "It's pretty good."
Lightning blushed behind her battle mask. "Y-you really think so?"
"Yes. I would love for you to show me more as you go along."
Lightning's blush grew deeper, and she feared that it was showing through her mask. Looking away quickly, she muttered, "Th-thank you..."
"No problem."
Lightning risked looking back up when she felt her blush subside somewhat, but she could feel it return and increase when she found Sunstreaker's face next to her own, close enough for her to kiss him if her mask weren't up.
Ember took her sculpture from Sideswipe, placing it gently on the ground. As she was reaching into her subspace, she noticed Sunstreaker and her sister staring each other in the optic, making her smile. Then, turning back to the task at hand, she pulled out her flamethrower and pointed it at the sculpture, and before Sideswipe could say anything, blasted it with a jet of flames.
The other two were oblivious to their respective twins, their faces inching closer and closer. It wasn't until Ember called to her sister through their bond that the two snapped out of their stuppor. Almost immediately, the two shot away from each other, a deep blush forming behind Lightning's mask.
::Lightning and Sunny, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!::
::Oh, shut up!::
Ember merely chuckled to herself, a devious gleam in her optics behind her visor.
"Hey, how much longer should we stay in here?" Lightning asked the other set of twins, trying to ignore her own twin.
Sideswipe checked his internal clock, and stated, "Actually, it might be safe right now. C'mon, let's go see."
Sideswipe opened the door, and the other three carefully followed him out.
"WHERE THE FRAG IS EMBER AND LIGHTNING?!"
The femme twins flinched at Blacklight's booming voice.
"Oh dear Primus!" Sideswipe exclaimed, looking around. "How close is she?!"
"Nowhere near this place, thankfully." Lightning replied, quickly backing into the room.
"Then how-"
"She gets real loud when mad." Ember interrupted, following her sister.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker shared a glance, the golden twin raising an optic ridge. The red twin shrugged at him, and the two followed the femmes back into the room.
They found Lightning sitting on one of the fallen pipes, with Ember hanging from the ceiling.
"Any ideas on what we should do?"
The femme twins looked at each other, and Ember smiled before proclaiming, "Pokemon Battle!"
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker both smiled as well, and Sideswipe asked, "Which game version?"
"Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire."
"Rules?"
"Hm... Three Pokemon each, all will be reverted to level fifty, and each of us will choose one type to use. But no telling the others!"
They agreed to these rules, and pulled their game systems out of their subspaces. While Ember had a red 2DS and Lightning had a blue 2DS, Sideswipe had a red 3DS and Sunstreaker had a pure black 3DS XL. Ember and Sunstreaker both had Omega Ruby, while Lightning and Sideswipe had Alpha Sapphire.
After a while of choosing, they all said they were ready, and started the four-way battle.
::I'm gonna smoke you, Lightning!::
::In your dreams, Ember.::
::You don't stand a chance, Sunny!::
::Don't call me that, and don't get your hopes up.::
After the trainer animations, they each sent out their first Pokemon.

"How did you do that?" Sunstreaker asked Ember.

"That's what happens when you knock out my baby and puppy." Ember said smugly as the battle finished.
The four put away their game devices, and Lightning stifled a yawn.
Sunstreaker checked his internal clock. "We should probably get some energon, then head to recharge."
"Let's just hope Blacklight has calmed down by now." Lightning said sleepily, her optics half shut.
The four of them stepped out, listening for anything. When they didn't hear the screaming of the femme SIC, they relaxed and went to the lounge for some energon.
Lightning slowly drank the delicious blue liquid, her systems revitalizing.
Sideswipe leaned forward, a smile on his faceplates as he asked, "So, you two have anything planned for tomorrow?"
"I start training with Ratchet tomorrow." Lightning replied calmly, her optics closed.
"I'm gonna start working with Ironhide." Ember replied, frowning behind her visor. "Would the day after work?"
"We have patrol then. How about after that?"
Ember and Lightning both checked their internal calendars. "We have to help the other Wreckers check their supplies in the morning, but afterwords we're free."
Sideswipe's smile grew. "Alrighty! Seeya in three days!"
Lightning nodded her helm to the mechs, before quickly finishing her energon and standing up. "Goodbye, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. It was fun hanging out with you."
"Bye Swiper! Seeya Sunny!"
"Don't call me that."
Later that night, as the femme twins were trying to recharge in their shared quarters, Ember said, "Lightning? You up?"
"I am now." Lightning replied grumpily, rolling over to look at her sister from across the room. "What?"
The red twin was having trouble with her words for once. "What... do you think of them?"
"The other twins?" Lightning asked, pushing herself to rest on one elbow.
Ember could swear Lightning saw the blush on her faceplates despite her color scheme as she feebly nodded her helm.
Lightning laid herself back down before she said in response, "I think they're nice. Sideswipe reminds me of you, and Sunstreaker-"
"Has a nice aft?" Ember interrupted with a wide grin, staring at her sister.
Now it was Lightning to feel positive that her blush was showing through her mask. "I-I don't know wh-where you got that, but-"
"Lightning and Sunstreaker, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Oh, shut up!" Lightning yelled, throwing a wrench from her subspace.
Ember dodged, it, and laughed loudly at her twin. "You don't need lessons from Hatchet! You've already got his wrench-throwing down!"
Lightning laid back down with a huff, then smiled mischieviously behind her mask. "So, you and Sidesw-"
"Totally have a crush on him."
Lightning frowned. "Frag it, Ember! Why can't you just let me enjoy myself once in a while too?!"
Ember continued to laugh, and eventually Lightning started to smile behind her mask. ::Night, Kayla.::
::Goodnight, Tracey.::
And there you have it! Sorry this is so late, I had to get over writer's block for this chapter. But, I already have the next one planned out, so it should be out soon! In the next one, we see the Decepticons when they got back to base, and find out just a tad bit more about Ark!
Till All Are One,
- Alpha
