Chapter Four

Mirage sat in Prime's office talking about what happened on the mission that landed him in the medbay. Though he wasn't sure if he should mention Silverlight's feelings towards the blue seeker.

"Mirage." Prime said bringing the mech out of his thoughts.

"Hm? I'm sorry, Prime." He apologised.

"Ultra Magnus told me Silverlight was refusing to continue with the mission because of Thundercracker."

That was it, he had no choice but to tell the Autobot leader of the femme's feelings. He sighed, "When Jazz and I went to rescue Hot Rod we found out that Silverlight has feelings for Thundercracker." He began and to his surprise the semi chuckled.

"I don't think we need to worry about her feelings about towards him anymore." The semi said an amused smile behind his faceplate as he remembered Silverlight chase off the three seekers.

"Prime?" Mirage asked completely confused.

"After you got shot Silverlight was so angry that she chased the seekers away." He explained.

"She what?" the blue and white mech asked in amazement.

Optimus gave a nod, "Jazz had told me of Silverlight's feelings when the four of you returned." Mirage suddenly felt stupid for keeping the femme's feelings to himself. "What do you think of my daughter, Mirage?" he suddenly asked surprising the mech.

"Huh?"

Optimus chuckled, "You have feelings for her, do you not."

"Well…I…" Mirage began embarrassed.

"I do not choose who Silverlight falls for, that is her choice. I simply do not want to see her hurt." He reassured.

"Will you hurry up already." A yellow mech said to his red companion.

"Will you relax, she's not bound to be back for a while." The red mech replied.

"I agree with him, you never know when she may return." A feminine voice said surprising the two mechs.

"Silverlight." The red mech said in surprise turning to the voice.

"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker. May I ask what the two of you are doing outside my quarters?"

"Yes, Sideswipe. What are we doing outside her quarters?" Sunstreaker asked.

"These are your quarters? Sunny, why didn't you tell me?" Sideswipe said trying to blame everything on his twin.

Before Sunstreaker could retaliate Silverlight said, "Nice try, Sideswipe, but you're not blaming Sunstreaker for this one."

After getting over his shock the yellow Lamborghini turned to his brother a smirk on his face, "You know, I think I like her."

"Shut it." Sideswipe retorted.

"When you've been around Skywarp as long as I have you get to know pretty quickly who the jokers are." Silverlight began "And Sunstreaker isn't one."

The yellow mech gave a small chuckle, "I'm really starting to like her." Only to receive an annoyed look from his brother in return.

"So I'll ask again, what are you doing outside my quarters?"

"Nothing." The red mech replied walking off annoyed.

"That's what I thought." She said, she was about to unlock her door when she felt someone staring her. She turned to them, "Sunstreaker?"

"You made that up, didn't you?" He suddenly said.

Silverlight chuckled, "Yeah. I saw what he was doing when I turned the corner, though Skywarp did teach me one thing."

"What was that?"

"Always triple lock your quarters if you don't want any 'uninvited guests' while you're out." She replied smiling. Although it didn't stop him from teleporting in, fragger she thought. "No one's ever stuck up for you before, have they?" she suddenly said.

Surprised by the question Sunstreaker asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because of the way you looked when I told him it wasn't you, you were completely shocked."

The Lamborghini shook his head, "No. No-one but Sideswipe."

The femme placed a hand on his shoulder. "Then you have someone else in your corner." Unlocking her door and walking into her quarters.

Sunstreaker stood there for a few moments surprised by her words, when they had sunk in he gave a small smile and walked off.

Ultra Magnus gave a small growl, he had seen the whole exchange between the Lamborghini and the racing truck. He had come to see if Silverlight would like to talk and saw them together. He didn't know why but he felt he had to hide as he watched them. He saw how the yellow mech began to fall for her even if he didn't know it and it stirred strange feelings within him. Ratchet had told him that there was nothing wrong with him but he still felt as though the medic had missed something because he shouldn't be acting or feeling like this.

Ratchet walked into the Prime's office chuckling.

"Care to share the joke, Ratchet?" Optimus asked.

"Seems your sparkling is going to be getting a lot of attention and I don't mean the unwanted kind." Ratchet answered.

Optimus raised an optic ridge at the medic's answer, he put down his datapad and asked "Should I be asking which one?" a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Oh please Prime." Ratchet said slightly annoyed "Would I be here if we were talking about Hot Rod?"

Although Optimus knew the mech was right he decided to tease him a little. "You might."

"Thank you for ruining the mood." Ratchet said sarcastically sitting in a chair and crossing his arms across his chest.

The Autobot leader chuckled, "Silverlight is a femme, Ratchet. She is bound to get that type of attention."

"Well thank you for stating the obvious, Prime. But did you ever think that Magnus would fall for her." Ratchet asked some humour back in his voice.

"Magnus?" Optimus asked surprised, he definitely wasn't expecting that.

Ratchet gave a nod as an amused smile appeared on his face. "He doesn't know it as yet." Optimus gave him a confused look "I just had him in the medbay asking if everything was okay. He told me that he kept feeling 'strange' around Silverlight."

Optimus chuckled. He never would have guessed that his long-time friend would fall for his sparkling. Oh, he was going to have fun with this piece of information.
