A/N: I'm sorry, I know the chapters are short but I want to give you as much as I can in the shortest time possible. And so… I thank you for all the alerts you gave me. And the encouraging comments. Sunny's flattered. So then another chappy. Enjoy. (I so should be sleeping already)

Next time Sunny awoke when his sensors pinged him about pressure over his left leg. and then... "Slagging spark of a pit spawned GLITCH THAT HURTS!" He shouted onlining his optics. Immediately the pain stopped, leaving only an unpleasant tingling feeling.

"Oh you big sparkling" Ratchet grumbled stopping his work. "Your pain sensors are working well." And he padded to a chest searching for something, or putting something away.

"I NOTICED! I knew it was going to hurt. Are you going to put me under again or can I ask you some questions?" Sunstreaker wanted to move right then, either to just move or run away from the tender care of the Autobot medic.

"Ask brat, but I may not answer them," Ratchet said.

So Sunny asked the most pressing question that came to his mind "What are humans like?" Because really, he had all the data but he couldn't quite figure it out without experiencing it himself. "I find the female ones aesthetically more pleasing than male ones but they seem so... wet."

"Wet? Where in the pit did you get that idea?"

"They are over 80% H2O they must be wet!"

Ratchet just grumbled. "Oh glitch you have so much to learn," Ratchet said and decided to give Sunny a quick crash course on humans and what better way then to bring one for Sunny to meet. : Ironhide, bring Captain Lenox here to the bay would you?:

When Ironhide rolled into the med bay Sunny couldn't help but notice that both the Weapon's master and the tiny human walking or rather jogging along were dirty, mud everywhere. "If that's not wet then ... then I'm Perceptor."

"It's called mud." Will said curious about the new-old arrival. Ironhide had warned him about him, about the high probability of being insulted or simply ignored. "Was showing Hide the fun of going mudding."

"Sounds dirty... looks like it too." Sunny commented, "Would never want to get this dirty... it smell awful too."

"He's a bit prissy isn't he?" Will asked Ironhide.

"Tell you something, Imagine the most gayest and vain gay in the world... that's our Sunshine."

"That is so not... what is gay?" Sunny knew he should feel offended only he had no idea why.

Will chuckled lightly. "Well the original meaning is that you're happy, nowadays it means you like and have sex with a person of the same sex. You know two guys, or two girls getting it on with each other."

" Hmm then you can say all Cybertronians are gays, I am just the most beautiful off them all, and deadly." Sunstreaker preened. Considering that Optimus send him a language module with some pointers that they were perceived as males.

"I'll have you know I'm a happily married man with a daughter" Will said. "Care to explain your theory."

"Ewww, you think I'd go for you? What am I a xeno or something... listen you have two frame types Females and Males and we have Mechs, Femmes and Fliers...Mech goes for another Mech and only rarely for a Flier, going for Femme it's like... ewwww, I'd rather do a cassette." He shuddered thinking about it.

Will muttered something under his breath. "And he's going to be staying here?" He asked Ratchet.

"I see that you share our... excitement," Ratchet teased looking straight at Sunstreaker.

"Geez, Epps is going to have a field day with this," Will said.

"You are so going to change your mind when I change my shell-mode... from what Optimus sent me you have really beautiful vehicles here on this planet"

"Prissy, vain, geez just getting better and better." Will said sarcastically. "Come on Ironhide we leave in a couple hours gotta clean up."

"Bye Sunshine" Ironhide called and both him and the human burst out laughing.

"Do not call me SUNSHINE!" Sunny yelled after them... The audacity.... but he was so going to show them...

"Alright enough Sunstreaker" Ratchet said after the two left.

"Slagg you!"

Ratchet didn't say a word, just pulled out his favorite wrench and whacked Sunstreaker on the head with it.

Sunny only harrumphed and wished he was mobile so he could cross his arms; he was not going to give the medic satisfaction.

"Do I have to turn on your pain sensors again?" Ratchet threatened.

"Just... leave me alone."

"You know I'm not going to do that" Ratchet said and rubbed the younger Mech's head gently. "Sunstreaker things are about to change and just remember you can always talk to one of us." Ratchet said. "Now I'm going to put you into stasis again and do some more repairs. You behave and when you wake up Sideswipe will be right beside you." It was a bit evil of him, putting it that way but…

"Sure, turn me offline and do your worst medic!" Sunstreaker pouted "Just get me up and running! I HATE this shell-mode!" Sideswipe. The only thing on his processor was Sideswipe.

Ratchet wanted to say something more but thought better of it, he offlined Sunny and got back to work.

Ratchet was true to his words, the moment his systems restarted Sunstreaker knew… felt his brother beside him. Comforting presence he needed missed so much.

"Sideswipe!" Sunstreaker's movement was still offlined but he really wanted to hold his brother, he wanted to do it from orns. Sideswipe complied with the silent demand of his brother. He knew; he felt the same.

"I knew, you were alive, I just didn't think I will see you this soon. Primus, so good to see you online." They were alone, they didn't need to act, to play, they could be themselves.

"I was alone, I hurt." Sunstreaker was saying what he knew his brother already knew, their sparks - twins co-feeling, knowing, sympathizing.

"I know. How did you manage to come back?" The contact was good. Sunstreaker's spark calming, feeling his twin beside itself.

"Beats me. I had felt an energy and somehow felt I needed to be here. It turned on my propeller. I foggily remember energy influx and your voice for a second later and then I woke up in the Med-bay." His memories were fuzzy, and almost unreachable. It was hard to recall anything.

"The Allspark."

"It's destroyed," Sunstreaker felt the weight of this information, Megatron was dead as well but the destruction of the Cube... felt like loosing the war. He didn't dwell on this fact to much, first because he didn't have time second because his processing power felt still addled.

"It exploded with energy wave when it died. You could have felt that."

The comparing of time proved there was only a miniscule delay between the moment Allspark melted and Sunstreaker feeling the wave. Sunstreaker decided it was strange, but didn't voice his fears. Sideswipe would feel them anyway.

They stayed together, enjoying the time for themselves that was granted by Ratchet. They reconnected in silence, not speaking anything, just being there.

Not many knew just why they almost always fought together. Not many knew just what being the twin-sparks entailed. When you were twin sparks you were only a half without your brother. Half fighting ability half processor, half spark. You needed the rare moments to be close, to regenerate the strength the other half gave you.

Being this close to each other allowed the twins to share their fears, memories, thoughts, themselves through the quantum, invisible link better than any hardware connection would ever allowed.

Ratchet had probably knew some of it because long after Sideswipe fell into easy recharge still holding his brother the medic pinged him before coming back to med-bay. Sideswipe gathered his wits and bit his brother goodbye. Both of them stronger now with the strength of the other one.
