The cool leather seat of Sideswipe helped calm down my spazzing thoughts. Ironhide has probably already woken up and is on the hunt to find us. Sideswipe at the moment is speaking to me, telling me that everything is going to be fine. Pulling pranks is all fun and games until you realize you are pissing off a robotic being that could easily squish you like a bug.
"Gabe it's going to fine, you got us," he reassured. He and his twin are speeding through the desert roads. They don't care if they are way over the speed limit.
"I could care less about her if she got squished by Ironaft," Sunstreaker's voice spoke through the speakers. His tone is cold and careless; I'm use to that type of like that.
"You don't mean that. You like her!" he argues back. The supercar shook in laughter; Sides must have thought that as funny.
"No I don't! I only accept her as a human," Sunstreaker shot back. It felt like an honor to be accepted by the bot. From the time I have been here, he hates humans with a passion.
"Ha! You didn't decline it!" Sides teased. Sunstreaker kept him mouth shut from that moment on. A smile spread across my face: it's funny how the two fight against each other in a friendly manner.
Sides and I made small talk as we all drove around Black Rock desert, which the twins had told me. It's still light out with no clouds in sight. The sun barely holding itself in the sky.
They slowed down to a stop in the middle of nowhere. Sides opens the passenger side door to let me out. The ground underneath my shoes is rocky and dusty. The air is hot and still, no wind to push it around.
Upon getting out, the two transform behind me. Glancing behind me, the two gaze down at me. I'm confused on why they stopped here out of all places. Changing my gaze back to the land in frit of, I started a path into the desert. There might be buried treasure out here, matey,
"We're off on adventure!" I sang while skipping off into the horizon. The ground shakes a little bit as Sides attempted to skip with me. He was mostly kicking sand in my direction. His brother had that resting bitch face; he isn't entertained by his brother.
We traveled far into the desert and by the time we had realize how long it's been; the sun was already touching the horizon. The road couldn't be seen from where I stood and that made me worry a tiny bit.
"Hey, we should start to head back. It's going to take awhile for us to get back," I pointed out. Sideswipe observed me from where he stands. His twin scanned the area, looking for something.
"It'll take about two hours to get back," Sunstreaker spoke up. With sand beneath our feet, the two wouldn't be able to drive unless they want to dig themselves into a hole. We wandered back to the road, which was a long walk back and my legs are hurting from the long journey. The sun had already fallen below the horizon and the stars and moon appeared to take its spot.
The ride back to base is quiet and peaceful, luring me into a light sleep. My dreams are the usual emptiness of nothing. There is the sound of Sides' humming engine to fill the silence.
The noise of the chain link fence rattling woke me from my slumber. I stretch out all my limbs, making my back twist a little and pain sprung through the wound, and make the most normal human noise ever. The sight around me shocked me; we are already at the base.
"How was your nap princess?" Sides teased. I gave him a half-tried growled and attempted to shift around the seat, making sure not to disturb my wound. That doesn't work all as thought since this is a Lamborghini and their seats are tiny so is their cab.
"Someone is grumpy." I not-so-gently kicked his dash board. The seat belt tightened around me. "What did I do to deserve that?!" His door opens and he kicks me to the curb. Standing up and dust myself, I glare up to the bot who had already transformed into his robotic form.
"I don't like to be teased," I answered. The slight frown on his face changed to realization. He kneels down in front of me and gently places his finger under my chin.
"I'm sor-," Sunstreaker interrupts him.
"Incoming!" Both of our heads snap in his direction but stop when I see there are head lights rushing towards us. They sat up higher meaning it's a truck and by the sound of the engines, it's most definitely Ironhide.
Sideswipe scoops me off the ground and starts to run away from Ironhide. With Ironhide on our tail, I knew this time we wouldn't be able to get away.
In our attempts to escape the steaming weapons specialist, we sped through hangers, offices, and almost getting corners. Well then; the twins skid to a stop, the area we were trying to zip through a space between two hangers.
We are at the back of the base, there's a small space between the chain link fence and the hanger to allow us to sneak through. Ironhide closes the exit and slowly drives his way towards us. He's taunting us, playing with his prey.
When the predator bot gets about fifteen feet from us, he transforms into his robotic form. His face is wrenched into a glare, ready to kill us all. He continued to stalk his way over to us.
Sideswipe opens his door and kicks me out. I timidly get out Sideswipe car form and stand with me head. The heat from Ironhide's glare made me want to stalk his way over to us.
The twins transform and step in front if in a protective way.
"You can throw as many punches at us just don't hurt Gabby," Sideswipe stated. My mouth dropped a little in surprised and disbelief. I step past the two 'protecting' me and gazed into my guardian glare.
"No, it was a group effort. If you put them in the slammer, I go to," I shot back to him. A smirk grew on his face and steps the few steps over to me. He scoops me off the ground not-so-gently and makes his way probably to the brig.
The twins follow us all the way to the brig without saying a word. It's oddly quiet between all of is, no words have been said since we got caught.
We made it to the brig and Ironhide drops me about five feet from the ground. I wasn't ready for the drop and fell onto my hands and knees, scraping them. Standing back up and dusting myself off, I turn back to face him and cuss at him in German. It takes him a moment to realize what I had said. He takes a threatening step forward. Before he could do anything else, the twins step in front of me to stop the big bot.
The two follow me into the cell and Ironhide turns on the bars to keep us from escaping. We all sit down and sit in silence for awhile.
"You want to play a game?" Sides offered. Confusion is written all over my face and I gaze up at him with a tilt like a confused dog.
"What kind of game?" I questioned. A smirk appeared on his.
"It's a game that we use to play on Cyberton where we were bored," he answered. It must be a fun game.
"Sure, why not. We are going to be stuck here for awhile." He taps the side of his head and a projection of a board game with walls protruding from each other. Two sets of Red and Blue pawns are at the bottom in an X pattern.
Sideswipe motions for me to come closer to him. I follow his instructions over to him. He places his hand down and I climb on. He sets me down on his shoulder to watch the game easier. His plating on his shoulder is split making it easier for me to stay on.
Sunstreaker starts the game by moving a piece over on one of the walls. They trade turns, each moving their pawns to hopefully win the game.
In the end, Sideswipe somehow won the game. He probably cheated or something on the lines of that. Sides turns to me with a bright smile.
"You want to have a turn," he questions. Looking back down at the game in front us, I thought for a moment and shook my head.
"Nah. Do you have any games like Uno or Rummy?" I declined. He thought for a couple of seconds before tapping the side if his head again. Cards appeared in front of us. He and his twin are given cards their size while cards my size floated in front of me. I grabbed the set of cards and carefully scanned over them. It seems we are playing Uno.
We played Uno until the door to the brig opened and Prowl and Ruby strut in acting like they own the place. They stopped in front of the cell that we are in. Ruby has her eyes into me with a heated glare. Since I have been here for so long and hanging out with the twins during that period of time, my bravery has gotten stronger. Ruby barely scares me anymore. Prowl had his eyes locked onto the two other bots in the room.
"What has gotten into you Gabby!? You weren't this bad before we came here," Ruby protests. I roll my eyes at her and motion for Sides to set me back down onto ground level. My feet carry me until I was about five feet from Ruby.
"Does it look like I care? I'm fun for once in my and you're not going to take that away from me," I defended myself. She scoffs and rolls her eyes at me.
"You should care! And that's not fun, you're going to get yourself hurt or even killed by playing those stupid pranks of yours," she pointed out. I gave a resided bitch face to her and turned back around with my back facing her. Both of the authority beings started to talk about this and that. It went in one ear and out the other; they should learn by now that we don't give a shit.
The two kept us in here for extra measure.
Later on, Optimus and Charlie came by to check up on us but left quickly when she saw I'm not in a good mood.
