Chapter Ten

Sunstreaker sat looking out at the barren desert. Stupid Sideswipe and his stupid big mouth. He thought angrily to himself. Everything was fine until he messed things up. He'd stopped looking for the blue femme a while ago, ever since she virtually yelled at him when he contacted her to ask if she was okay and where she was. She'd never yelled at him before in fact she'd never even spoken one bad word to him since becoming friends. He now feared his friendship with her was lost, something he'd never be able get back and all because his stupid brother had open his stupid mouth.

"I'm sorry." A voice suddenly said drawing his attention. He looked over and growled at the mech, getting up and walking off. "Sunstreaker, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset her." The mech continued. "It's a little late for apologies, Sideswipe." The yellow mech said bitterly stopping and turning to his twin. "You ruined everything!" He snarled.

"Oh and you don't?" Sideswipe retorted annoyed. "Do you know how many times I had to smooth things over because you couldn't control your temper?"

"It's okay for you, everyone jumps at the chance to be your friend to get to know you but do they ever think about me?"

"Of course they do!" Sideswipe said "I make sure they include you in everything."

"Exactly." Sunstreaker told him. "They do it because you tell them to and not because they want to." His hands started to curl into fists "the only bot who wanted to get to know me and not because I was 'attached' to you. Who treated me like I was an Individual not just part of you, was Silverlight. And what do you fragging do? You go and slagging DRIVE HER AWAY!" he yelled his fists now shaking with uncontrolled anger.

"Sunny." Sideswipe said in shocked awe.

"Don't call me that, Slagger."

"I-I never knew you felt like this." The red Lamborghini said still shocked at his brother's outburst. "You should have told me."

"And what would you have done, Sideswipe, hm? Make them 'like' me?" He retorted.

"It is your own fault mechs stay away from you, Sunstreaker." Another voice cut in "they all fear that they may say wrong thing and invoke your anger."

Sideswipe flinched that wasn't what his brother needed to hear right now. "Prowl." He said turning to the Datsun "with all due respect, stay out of this." An annoyed tone in his voice.

The tactician ignored him, "your brother has joined the search for Silverlight even though he knows he was the one who cause the problem. He was also worried about you and would hope that this would be enough for you to forgive him." The red mech looked back over at his twin hope shining in his optics.

"Hm. Not a slagging chance." Sunstreaker said and began to walk off again.

"Then tell me what I have to do. Please Sunstreaker, I can't take this anymore. I just want my brother back." Sideswipe begged.

The yellow Lamborghini stopped turning his head to look at them. "Apologise to Silverlight." He said.

"I can do that." The red twin said in relief thinking it was going to be worse.

"For everything and make friends with her."

The red Lamborghini froze, make friends? With a Decepticon? Was his brother mad?"I...uh..."

"I didn't think you'd be able to do that." The yellow mech said as he transformed and drove off.

"Sun..." Sideswipe began but it was already too late.

Optimus drove out to meet up with Ultra Magnus. Enough was enough it was time to make Silverlight and every other Autobot who doubted her...loyalty that she was every bit an Autobot as they were.

"Where are they?" He asked the car transporter as he transformed. The blue and white didn't say anything just pointed to a cave entrance not far away from them. They watched as Hot Rod seemed to sneak out and drive off somewhere. "Follow him, Magnus." Prime told his friend "I will deal with Silverlight."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"Trust me old friend." He told him. The blue and white mech gave a nod and went after Hot Rod.

Optimus sighed before heading over to the cave and confronting his eldest sparkling.
