CHRISTMAS DAY

Sideswipe's point of view

I came out of recharge early. It was our first real Christmas, let alone that it was our first one with Bella. I didn't waste time as I raced to the rec room to see the tree with plenty of presents under it. Gathered around it were Sam, Mikaela and Tia, who was grinning evilly.

Me: "Alright, I'll bite. What did you do?"

All she did was point up towards the ceiling, where Jazz hung by his aft. He was made to look like a crystal chandelier, that was tastefully decorated for the holiday with garland.

Me: "Tia...I wish I had known you were going to do that. We need to team up at some point."

Tia: "Deal."

She chortled, reveling in her mischief. Hey Jazz had it coming, knowing him, he'd shrug it off and laugh. But the aftermath of this prank would surely start a war. I waited a few moments. How could Tia and I be the only bots up at this time?! After another ten minutes of waiting, Jolt, Ironhide, Sarah and Annabelle quietly strolled into the room.

Me: "Morning! Merry Christmas!"

Hide: "Must you be so loud? Merry Christmas to you too."

Sam: "Hey, I can't blame him. It's like the first real Christmas we've had together, and plus he has a new person to share it with. He should be excited."

Me: "Thank you Sam. Where's Bee?"

Sam: "Rounding up the others and the new arrivals."

Almost on cue, Bee danced into the room with several groggy bots and people behind him, some still in their pajamas.

Bee: "And this Christmas will be, a very special Christmas, for me-hee yeah!"

Mom: "First and only warning; if anyone asks why my head is wrapped, you're liable to be slapped k?"

Sheila: "Whhhhiiiieeee are we up so early? I know this is a military base but dang!"

Lilith: "What time is any way? And can I have hot chocolate?"

Terrin: "As my uncle would say...pardon my French aunt Sarah "It is the ass crack of dawn." Idk bout the chocolate though. Where da coffee at tho?"

She said sleepily. Mikaela guided them to the counter where coffee was pre-made. I watched as Terrin poured a cup and drank it straight. She then waved her hand over her head dismissively.

Terrin: "All righ...lets go, start opening presents and what not."

Me: "You okay?"

I heard a chuckle from behind me I turned to see Bella with a small smile on her face plates. She had braided her cording and rapped it into a bun. She looks so pretty like that, almost like she were a princess.

Bella: "Ah, much like me, my friends and family aren't always morning people. Let the coffee hit their systems, they'll be all right in a moment."

Sarah: "Speaking of family, has anyone seen Will?"

Me: "Not since last night no. Come to think of it, has anyone seen Sunstreaker?"

Everyone shook their head showing that they were not aware of his location. So naturally I poked him through the bond. A moment or two after I did this, a large silver box moved with a bump.

Kyler: "All right, it's early in the morning and I haven't had coffee yet...someone please tell me that I wasn't the only one to see that box move."

He said as he stared at it cautiously. It bumped about again, this time almost angrily. Everyone drew their weapons and pointed them at the box. Something was alive in there and it was not happy.

Terrin: "Really? Ya'll going to just shoot it? Oh excuse me, shoot and stab it, didn't see you're blades there for a sec Sides."

Hide: "Of course! It could be a Con! Or-"

Sheila: "No offense Hide, but let me ask this question...How would a Decepticon or any other threat get onto this base? Let alone past like 15 overprotective robots and a small army?"

Prime: "She has us there old friend. To whom is the box addressed?"

Arcee: "It is to Sideswipe...from Santa. How did-"

Me: "Why don't I just open it? We can theorize about that little detail later."

I said as I untied the bow. I don't want to spoil Santa for Annabelle or the other new arrivals, that would be mean. Even for Sunny and I. The box fell open to reveal a very peeved...oh this is priceless!"

Sunny: "HOW did I wind up under the tree?! WHO DID THIS?!"

We all burst out into gales of laughter as he looked around at us, the red bow on his helm bobbing with each movement. His armor was extremely shiny, almost like he had spent the last two nights polishing himself.

Me: "Okay, that solves one mystery. Who ever did this...thank you I love it!"

I chuckled as I dodged a slap to the head. Hey he makes a great gift, I probably can't live without him.

Sunny: "All I remember is putting presents under the tree, and then... well here I am. Seriously does anyone know who did this?"

Jolt: "Hey! You have a stasis dart in your rear!"

Sunny: "The hel-lo kitty?"

He said being mindful of Annabelle's being in the room. Now's a good time to change the subject.

Me: "Hey look! There's one for you here Sunny!"

Sunny: "It's for you too, both our names are on the tag. Wonder what it is?"

We opened the box and found...

S.S: "PFFFFTTTTT! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! O...OH MY PRIMUS THANK YOU WHOEVER DID THIS! AH-HA-HA-HA-AHA-HA-HAAA!"

Hide: "What's so funny you two?"

Me: "This!"

I said as I took our "gift" out of the box. It was Will, he was dressed in a giant blue onesie with a white bonnet. Around his neck was a bib that read; "I'm a Big Boy!" and clipped to that bib was a pacifier that he was currently suckling on. He was glued into a high chair, and he had red blush on his cheeks, making him look baby faced.

Sarah: "Oh my God!"

Terrin: "Oh, this is so priceless! (Snicker) I...I...good God I need a picture of this!"

Will: "THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"

He said with a pout. He had spit the pacifier out and crossed his arms over his chest.

Annabelle: "It is funny! Daddy you look so cute!"

Will: "I swear to God...if any of you try and blackmail me with this-"

S.S: "Aw take it like a man!"

Will: "So it was you two!"

Sunny: "Couldn't have been. First of all, I was wrapped and put under the tree too, second, neither of us would invade your space like that."

Me: "Yeah, we as a general rule don't physically change our targets, we trick them into doing it themselves."

Will: "Will, someone please get me out of this chair? I'd like to open presents with my family."

Hide: "Okay, come on wittle man. Lets get you changed! Oh my what a big boy you are!"

Will: "Hiiiiide!"

He whined as Ratchet and Ironhide left to remove him from his chair, snickering. As soon as they left everyone, Prime and Prowl included started laughing.

Me: "Please...please someone tell me that you got stills of that!"

Bella: "Oh I got it!"

She said through her giggles. After that we all went forth to collect our gifts. It was fun to watch as others ripped open the paper, and smile at what they got. I look forward to doing this again next year. Everyone seemed so happy with what they got. Especially Ratchet who was given an engraved wrench. Primus help us all.

Third person point of view

Everyone was enjoying their gifts, by the time the surge of people died off, Sunny, Sides, Bella,Tia,and Jolt exchanged their gifts.

Tia: "I want you to open yours first."

Jolt: "Okay..."

Jolt opened his first gift to find a set of silver hammers, the largest was engraved. It read; "To my favorite medic, may these help you with your patients, love Tianna." Jolt looked up at her and smiled. He now had an arsenal to throw at people when they misbehaved.

Jolt: "Thank you! I am going to enjoy using these."

Tia: "You still have one more to go, I know it's not much but I hope you like it."

Jolt unwrapped his next gift to find two passes, to the next comic con in New York.

Jolt: "Tia...these-"

Tia: "I know it's a lame gift but-"

Jolt: "I love it! This is marvelous! I cant wait to go! We gotta do cosplay's! OhmyPrimusthisisgoingtobeepic!Thiswillbethemostepicconyet..."

Sunny: "Wow, didn't know that anyone could talk like Blurr without shorting out."

Jolt: "(GASP) Tia! You gotta open your presents!"

Tia opened her first gift and looked confused. She held up several pieces of armor and a data chip."

Jolt: "Here, let me give you a hand with that. I need to see your wings for a sec."

She obliged and revealed her near armor less wings. Jolt gently put the armor in place and inserted the data chip into her processor. He then replaced various pieces of armor on her stomach,shoulders,peedes,and servos. Tia projected her holoform to see what she looked like. She now had gold details on her armor as well as red.

Tia: "Ooooo, Jolt I like it! Tre chic no?"

Jolt: "Wait til you see what it does. Did you download the new abilities?"

Tia: "Just finished. So what does it do?"

Jolt: "I'll show you outside, trust me. You guys might want to see this too."

He said as they all ventured forth outside.

Jolt: "Okay Engage your battle regalia, then choose your new stealth mode."

Tia: "Okay..."

She did as he said and both Tia and the crowd were stunned to see her levitating. Her armor covered her completely and her wings were fanned out.

Jolt: "Okay, play a song and fall forward."

Tia: "But-"

Jolt: "Don't worry sweet spark, I'll catch you if you fall. I promise."

She reluctantly did so and was pleasantly surprised to see herself floating off the ground, all of the rocks and grass swaying where her speakers were blasting muted sound. She looked up at Jolt to see him grinning.

Jolt: "Now, If you raise your volume, you will go higher, and to go faster, engage the speakers in the heels of your peedes and wings."

Tia took his advice and began to literally fly. She giggled as she watched everyone on the ground gawking at her. She spread her arms and did a barrel roll. Happily laughing at her new found ability.

Prime: "Jolt, what were you thinking?"

Jolt: "That, she would love becoming her favorite anime character. HEY TIA! TRY USING YOUR CANNONS! AIM FOR THE RED AND GREEN TARGETS!"

BOOOOM!

Tia: "BULLSEYE! WHOOO HOOOO!"

She screamed as she flew around the building.

Ratchet: "How is she doing that? She's not formatted to be a seeker."

Jolt: "No she's not, I with the help of Wheeljack, made armor that had magnets that double as speakers. She is using her ability to move objects with sound to propel herself through the air, while the magnets keep her stable."

Mirage: "So why can't we hear her music?"

Jolt: "Because she is in her stealth mode, her sound is muted, this is for when she goes on missions."

Arcee: "So in essence you gave her a jet-pack?"

Jolt: "Not entirely. TIA! DISENGAGE YOUR STEALTH MODE, WHILE ENGAGING YOUR MARZIALE STREPITOSO MODE!"

He shouted up at her. She did as he suggested and sure enough sound poured out of her speakers at a loud volume. Bella, Lilith, Terrin, and Sheila were grinning.

Bella: "A jet pack has flames and needs fuel. Tia is strictly using sound and magnetic waves to do this."

Lilith: "Jolt made her into Nonon! This is beyond epic!"

Tia soon landed and wrapped her husband-to-be in a fierce hug. When she let go, Jolt showed her, her last gift. A multi-purpose guitar that when plugged into her, amplified her sound waves 5 times better than what they usually are. While she continued to dance around happily, Sunny and Sides showed Bella her gifts.

Sunny: "So compared to that spectacle, our gifts seem kinda lame."

He said as he gave her a small wrapped box. She found inside, a silvery bracelet with a single charm in the shape of a heart.

Bella: "I love it! It's so pretty!"

Sides: "Thank you, but there's more to it than that. Come with us pretty please."

Bella followed her mechs to a very new looking building, on the door was a key pad as well as a keyhole.

Sunny: "Okay, so the code is S.A.S And the key..."

Bella: "It's my bracelet."

She said as she took it and pressed it into the keyhole. With a very loud click the doors opened to reveal the single largest greenhouse anyone had ever seen.

Sides: "So, we knew that you wanted to become a horticulturist, and you love long walks through nature, so..."

Sunny: "We thought that you would like to have your own lab. There are over 3,000 species of flora in here, not counting those native to the island or the DNA on file in the lab over there."

He said pointing to a pristine lab where plants could be examined and bred.

Sides: "It's state of the art, Wheeljack made sure of that. You can open and close windows remotely, water different sections, and set timers for watering if you're ever away. And like all the buildings on base it has a security mode, and cameras."

Bella took three steps into the greenhouse and stopped. Her wings tensed, when she turned to the left she saw uneven bars and a balance beam, along with several ribbons for twirling. When she turned back to her mechs she was crying.

Sides: "Oh Primus! She hates it!"

Sunny: "Bella, we're so-"

Bella: "Don't say another word... .IT! I...I had no idea you two knew about my aspirations. I don't know how to thank you two!"

She wept as she smothered the two in a hug sobbing. After a few minutes exploring her new lab, she and the twins ventured back to the rec room, where Jazz had woken up and was playing Sia's chandelier.

Jazz: "WHY AM AH GLUED TO THA CELIN'?! AND WHY CAN'T AH STOP PLAYIN' THIS STUPID SONG?!"

Tia: "I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry. I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier!"

She sang as she did elaborate flips from the bars hanging from Jazz in her pretender mode. She continued to do this while singing until she jumped from one bar to another, losing her footing. Tia fell about 15 feet before she activated her magnets and speakers, still in her pretender mode. She hovered in front of Jazz playing the Ironman theme song.

Jazz: "Okay, Ah think my processors glitched. AM AH THE ONLY ONE SEEIN' TIA FLY?!"

Will: (Snicker) No, you're just late to the party. Jolt basically made her into a stealth jet. Although her flying like this is new."

Tia: "Jazz, first let me say that I am the one who did this to you. The reason why is because, of how you treated me. If you wanted to dress me down, you could've just done it without getting "creative" and humiliating me while also driving me insane. Not only that but I don't know if Ratchet told you, but the reason why my speakers acted up was because of a temporary glitch that Jolt and I shared. As far as I'm concerned the glitch is gone, and we're even. Please if you have a problem with me just tell me to my face, don't mess with me while I'm in recharge."

Prime: "Tianna-"

Jazz: "Hold on there Prime. Tia, let me say well done. Ah didn't think you'd be tough enough to take your punishment, but ya proved me wrong. Ya found your info, an ya acted as ya should in this field by neutralizing the threat. Ah gotta ask though...how'd ya get me up here if ya just got to be flyin' today?"

Tia: "I'm sorry, but that is classified information. I am not at liberty to share such details."

Jazz chuckled, the saboteur as usual, took everything in stride. He wanted to see how Tia would react to his little prank, and couldn't have been happier with the results. While Ratchet and Jolt tried to remove Jazz from the ceiling Bella presented her mechs with her gifts.

Bella: "I Don't know how my gifts to you will compare, but I hope you like them."

She said as she directed them to two large boxes. Sideswipe opened his first, optics gleaming with excitement.

Sides: " ! HOW DID YOU?! Where did you?! Ahhhhh! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Oh my Primus!"

He squealed happily. Bella had done what was perceived to be impossible. She had gone to every factory and got the newest game consoles. Most of which would not be launched in the states for some time. She also got him some games to go along with them. She grinned at him, she had done well.

Bella: "C'mon. Open yours Sunny. I wanna see what you think."

He smiled gently as he opened his gift, to reveal a professional detailers dream. There were expensive waxes and polishes, all of the labels were in French or Italian writing and to accompany it there was a brand new buffer, and detail brush set.

Sunny: "Bella, how did you get these?! This had to have cost a fortune!"

Bella: "Meh, early shopping has its privileges. And the price wasn't a problem, finding the manufacturer and putting in an order for a two year supply was a challenge though."

Jolt: "Two years in normal time or in Sunstreaker time?"

He joked. Bella only smirked.

Bella: "Sunstreaker time. I made sure."

S.S: "Thank you sweet spark!"

Bella: "Wait, there's more!"

She said as she pulled out a data pad for Sideswipe, and a huge paint set for Sunstreaker.

Bella: "I love you two very much, and much like you do, I remember the early parts of our relationship. You two should focus more on your hobbies, as they are a part of how we met, and one of millions of reasons why I love you."

Sideswipe grinned when he turned on the data pad to see the title; 10,001 Pranks. The two couldn't stop grinning, much to the delight of Arabella. They tackled her in a hug making those in the room coo awws. The rest of the day was spent as most usually spend Christmas...playing with their gifts. Tia and Kyler played music together and everyone else chatted aimlessly about whatever until dinner. Everyone sat down at the table ready for the feast that Mrs. Brinks had prepared, when suddenly the alarms went off. The Decepticons much as Arabella had predicted were attacking, and they made sure to have plenty of Con's out there to do damage, Megatron himself was leading the mayhem. Optimus stood up, Will following soon after.

Prime: "Major Lennox, please do not deploy your men with us."

Will: "But the alarm-"

Prime: "Today is a holiday, where time should be spent with friends and loved ones, not risking your life out on a battlefield."

Will: "Prime, you guys are part of my family. And you're a part of everyone else's family on my team. It would be wrong if we did not do this as a family."

Prime: "But your fam-"

Sarah: "Optimus, we trust you to protect them. Just go, kick butt, and come back. You'll probably get done faster with the help."

Prime vented a sigh, realizing that as usual his allies were adamant about going with him. After apologizing to Mrs. Brinks and telling Jazz to stay behind for protection, Prime and his team rolled out. The battle as usual was brutal. Everyone was busy keeping the Decepticons at bay, trying to drive them back. Tia decided to do some aerial blasting while Arabella, Sunny, and Sides practiced their Jet Judo. The team had decided to stream their battle back to base for their new friends to see. Prowl and Arabella had decreed that there would be very few casualties from this fight, so long as everyone played it safe.

Terrin: "So this is what you guys do? Its so..."

Sheila: "Fascinating. I had no idea that you guys had so many weapons."

Lilith: "Why are we hearing Taylor Swifts Blank Space though? I wouldn't think you'd set something so violent to something so...you know, it makes sense now that I think about it."

Jazz: "Ah'm not doin' that. That's Bella, she's usin the song ta distract her opponents."

And sure enough Bella was doing just that, while at the same time wounding her opponents. Her friends could see everything she could, including the mech's happy smiles as she bounced about in her regalia, before she would knock them out or execute them. She was holding her own against one mech when she heard it. A cannon blast followed by a very pained scream. She turned to see Sunstreaker fall to the ground clutching what was left of his leg. Sideswipe ran up trying to move his brother out of the range of fire only to have his arm blasted off. The vision on Arabella's feed went dark, almost fading out before it snapped back, with a dull purple hue to it.

Jazz: "Oh Slag."

Terrin: "What's wrong? Why is death metal playing?!"

Jazz: "Ah think she jus' entered her gladiator mode."

Arabella: "WAIT! I'm coming undone! IRATE! I'm coming undone! TOO LATE! I'm coming undone! One looks so strong, so delicate!"

She sang, voice echoing each word. Her friends jumped back from the screen in fear.

Lilith: "The hell's wrong with her?!"

Jazz: "Look at that screen there. See look at her optics, they're black indicatin' that she's in her gladiator mode, but...the purple ring is new..."

Terrin: "Which means?!"

Jazz: "I think she's flown off of the proverbial handel."

He said while witnessing Arabella strangle one mech and then pull off his helm, killing him. Arabella had done the one thing Stormbreaker warned her of. She lost what was left of her temper. She stalked towards the mech who harmed her loved ones, feeling nothing as she was stabbed in the side. All she did was decapitate all those in her way, which fortunately were Decepticons. Soundwave deployed Ravage, who was met with an instant mortal wound as Arabella transformed into her beast mode and ripped out his throat, making sure to puncture any energon lines. She continued to stalk her prey only to find that it was Megatron himself who had shot her mechs. Ignoring her wounds and seething with rage, Arabella pounced on the tyrant knocking him to the ground. Quick as a flash, she severed his arms and legs, ensuring that he could not escape. She then took her two swords and stabbed him in the sides. She began to choke him out singing sarcastically, after he stopped fighting with vigor, she took two of her arbela's and removed his helm, wires still attached and then planted it firmly back on, facing backwards. She laughed madly as she saw the fear in his optics. Behind her a mech tried to shoot and pull her off of him. Arabella got up, removed her swords and proceeded to slice the poor soul in half, vertically. Megatron upon seeing this ordered a full retreat. Arabella in turn shot another mech in the face as he ran off. The only thing that stopped her from chasing him was Sideswipe, who laid a servo on her shoulder. She immediately calmed down, and broke down at the sight of his wound. The feed was cut as they returned to base.

Terrin: "What...what was that?"

Sheila: "Pardon me when I say that, that was some serious shit that just went down."

Jazz: "Yeah, slag got real, real fast."

He said as he took a shot of high grade. Everyone in the room stood staring at the screens, unable to speak. They had seen one of the nicest femmes loose her procssor and kill at least 7 mechs. They all agreed to only speak of this if she brought it up...they didnt want to have a repeat of what thy just saw. Meanwhile in Medbay, Arabella was still crying as she helped Sunstreaker into the room.

Ratchet: "I'm going to need to build you a new leg, and Sideswipe, you're going to need a new arm."

Bella: "Will they (sniff) be okay?"

She asked the medic, with very watery optics. He smiled kindly at her.

Ratchet: "They'll be fine. They have survived worse. Please stop crying."

Bella: "Cant...(sniffle) hurts too much."

She said pointing to the dagger in her side and her broken wing. Ratchet smiled gently as he helped her to a berth. It was a long night, but finally after some serious surgery, the three were fixed and were peacefully recharging. They would enjoy the feast with their loved ones tomorrow, when they could fully enjoy themselves.

Author's note: Ah...Praxian cycles...I think we've seen most of her symptoms, which only means one thing...*Evil laughter* It's almost time for Bella to turn the tables and get creepy with the twins. Hope you all liked this chapter, only 7 more to go... maybe less depending how I write it. Pretty please Rate,Review,Follow, and Favorite if you can and want to!

Lack of Peace, plenty of love, and long live the terror twins for causing the first two sayings!

CLYL! ❤💛💙
