A/N: Hello! Welcome back to another chapter of the Adventures and Misadventures of Soundwave!

I had just went back to school a few weeks ago. Eh, its ok, I need it, can't be a Scientist one day without it. But, I will not be updating as frequently as I usually do because of homework, TCAP, blah blah blah...

Disclaimer: I hate these things…

Sick Days

No one had seen the Lambo twins for a few days. They were starting to get a little worried. Could they be hurt? Or worse, dead?

'Naw.' Soundwave thought. 'One of them must be sick or something.' Soundwave's thoughts were interrupted when he heard what sounded like someone screaming and panicking. He got up from the stoop he was on and followed the sound. When he finally arrived, he saw his close friend Starscream being beaten up by a few insecticons and one predacon. The insecticons' names were Zipline, Delta, and the leader, Hardshell. Hardshell was a very well-known criminal who managed to escape from a very high secriuty prison. Delta and Zipline were his lackeys. Brothers, in a sense.

The Predacon was the leader of all the Predacons. He was Predaking. Most femmes or mechs didn't usually mess with him. Unless they had a death wish. Soundwave wondered what Starscream did to deserve this. He was going to regret this later…

"Hey, let my friend go!" Soundwave warned.

The insecticons and predacon turned to the slim bot.

"And what if we don't?"

"Then I'll just have to beat you myself!"

"Oh come on, a mech like you can't seriously do any damage, right?" Delta asked.

"Oh, try me." Soundwave challenged.

"Is that a challenge?" Hardshell snarled.

"Yeah, it is!"

"Alright No-Face, if you beat me, my lackeys, and Predaking, I'll let your friend go. But if you don't, we'll beat him AND you to offline. Deal?

Soundwave knew he was making a very risky deal, but he couldn't just walk away from them like nothing ever happened! Plus, his friend Starscream's life could be in jeopardy. Without any more thought, he made his decision.

"Deal."

Without any warning, Delta and Zipline charged for Soundwave. Soundwave immediately brought out his tentacles and blocked every punch and kick the two insecticons brought. Zipline managed to get in a few punches. One of them hit Soundwave square in the visor, cracking it. Soundwave then wrapped his tentacles around Zipline, lifted him up off the ground, and shove him into a nearby wall. He was out cold. He then struck Delta with electricity coming from his tentacles. He soon lost all consciousness.

Turning to Predaking and Hardshell, he beckoned them to come forward with one of his slim digits.

Hardshell and Predaking both charged forward to Soundwave. They were quick, but Soundwave was quicker. He teleported behind the two. He hit Hardshell hard in the head. Hardshell was sent to the ground. Luckily, for Hardshell, he wasn't knocked unconscious.

Suddenly, something big was blocking the Sun. It was Predaking. Without turning around, Soundwave kicked Predaking in the nuts and bolts, downing Predaking.

Soundwave put his pede on Hardshell's chest plate.

"Do you yield?"

"No way in pit!"

Soundwave brought his tentacle out threateningly and charged it with electricity. He held it near Hardshell's face.

"Ok, Ok! I-I yield!"

"I'm sorry I don't believe I heard you. Can you say it again, loud and clear?" Soundwave teased, bringing the tentacle closer to Hardshell's faceplate.

"I SAID I YIELD!" Hardshell had, at this moment, began to shed lubricant.

Soundwave brought his pede off Hardshell and put away his tentacle. Hardshell, who was still shedding lubricant; and Predaking, who was still holding his crotch; got up and ran as far away from Soundwave has they could.

With a triumphant smirk, Soundwave walking over to Starscream. He knelled down next to him and observed his condition. He had a blacken optic, many dents and scratches, and energon was dripping from the side of his mouth.

Just then, Starscream began to stir. He onlined his still good optic and looked up to see Soundwave.

"S-Soundwave?"

"It's me, Screamer."

Starscream then noticed the unconscious forms of Delta and Zipline.

"What happened to them?"

"They had a meeting with my tentacle."

"Oh…"

Anyway, Can you walk?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's get the frag out of this alley before more people decide to beat you to scrap-metal."

"Ok- Hey wait, what happened to Hardshell and Predaking?"

"Long story short, Hardshell was crying and Predaking may have crotch-aches."

"Painful."

"It was, for them. Screamer, you never told me how or why they were beating you up."

"Well, they said I 'had stepped on their turf', and they told me to leave. 'I said that I can roam freely'. Then they said, 'Oh, yeah?' And I said 'Yeah!' So, that's when they beat me up."

"Interesting."

"You call that interesting?! I could have been killed or worse, RAPED! DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING THEN?!" Starscream shouted.

"Relax, Starscream. I was just kidding." Soundwave said.

"Hmm…" Pouted Starscream.

"Well, I was just heading over to the Lambo's house. Well, before I saw the fight. Do you want to tag along?"

"Sure. Is Bee already there?"

"What makes you think Bee would be coming with me?"

"Well, based on how you two always spend time with each other, I wouldn't be surprised if you two were a couple."

"What?! Just because we spend time with each other doesn't mean we are dating. It means we are best friends!"

"Riiight…"

"So, where did you hear about the –you know – couple thing?" Soundwave asked.

"Curious are we? Or are you hoping that we will say you guys are a couple."

"It's out of curiosity!" Soundwave shouted.

"Well: Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Megatronus, Orion, Shockwave, Arcee, Wheeljack, Smokescreen, Bulkhead, Knockout, Breakdown, Dreadwing, Skyquake, and Starklight all know."

"EVERYONE IN ON IT?!"

"Basically."

"Let's just go to the Lambo Twins' house already.

The walk to house was awkward. Well, awkward for Soundwave anyway. After Primus knows how long, they reached the mansion of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. It was huge, like most mansions in Iacon. It had two pools, one round, and one that was an unidentifiable shape. It was much larger than the round. There was also a garden. It was very large. It almost had very flower on Cybertron. Next there was a tennis court, a trampoline, and there was a large creek. Unfortunately, there were no fish. But what really caught the mechs' attention was the house in general. It was probably one of the biggest mansions on Cybertron. It had many windows. There was also a gate that had a very long, marble path that led to the front door. The gate had one big golden letter: L. There were also bushed that were trimmed to look like different animals.

The house was a very creamy color. Garden tenders, Maids, and butlers were holding various objects.

"Whoa." Soundwave and Starscream said in unison.

Just then, the voice box that was attached to the gate began to crackle and a voice was on the other end.

"Hello, mechs. Who are you and what do you need?" The voice was rude or demanding. It was just asking a simple question.

"Um, we are Sideswipe and Sunstreaker's friends and we were wondering where they were. We haven't seen them in a while… sir?" Soundwave said.

"Master Sunstreaker is sick and Master Sideswipe has been aiding him until he gets well again."

"Oh. Well may we see them?"

"Indeed you may, just don't get too close. We don't anymore sick bots around here.

"Thank you."

The soon opened and the two mechs walked to the door. They noticed that the door had very large knockers.

"So… do we knock or…?"

"Seems that way." Soundwave answered.

Soundwave knocked on the door. No one had answered. So he knocked again. Still no answer.

"Well, third time's the charm. Right?" Starscream stated.

Before Soundwave could knock a third time, I femme about in her early to mid-thirties opened the door. He was the same color as Sunstreaker. She had head-fins just like him as well. She had cyan eyes.

"Why Hello. I'm Sunshine, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's Carrier. Are you friends of them?" she asked.

"Yes, ma'am. We heard from the person on the voice box that Sunstreaker was sick, so we wanted to come and check on him." Soundwave stated.

"Ah yes, Lenny. He is our best butler. Anyway, come in, come in!"

"Thank you." Soundwave said

"No, thank you. Sideswipe will be so happy when he sees the femme of his dreams here!"

"Femme….?"

"Yes, your friend right here. She is a femme, right? Starklight?"

"No. This is my friend Starscream. He is a mech."

"FEMME?! I'M NOT A FEMME!" Starscream yelled.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you."

"It's fine, everyone calls Starscream a femme when they first meet him."

"I'm very sorry. Look, Sunstreaker's room is up stairs to the left, third door. Sideswipe's room is the fourth door to the left.

They then made their way the stairs and found out that there were four doors on each side of the wall and one in the middle. They opened the third door to find tissues all over a bed. The bed's yellow striped covers were barely noticeable because of it.

"Uhh…. Sunstreaker?" Starscream asked.

"S-Screamer? I feel so-soo cooold…"

"We just wanted to check on you, Sunstreaker." confirmed Soundwave

"That's soo nice of you… Guys listen… if you ever need a place to stay, you are welcome to stay here…"

"Thanks dude."

"Soo, where's Sideswipe?" Starscream asked.

"He's in his room… but beware, it's a war zone in there."

"Thanks for the tip." said Soundwave

They exited the room and closed the door. Then they walked to the room next door. They noticed that the door was open ajar. Pecking inside, they couldn't believe what they saw. Sideswipe was holding a picture of Starklight, monologuing over it.

"Oh Starklight, my beautiful, beautiful Starklight! How your curvy body puts me in a trance! I just want to hold you tight and never let go! I want you to have my sparklings. One day will grow old together! And offline while holding each other's servos."

"What a lovely monologue." Starscream said sarcastically.

"Oh Slag! Guys don't scare me like that!"

"Ha, what kind of slagging monologue was that?"

"The kind that will win over Starlight's spark."

"You do realize that she loves Bumblebee, right?" said Soundwave.

"Which is why I'm writing this monologue so I can win her over."

"Good luck with that." Soundwave muttered.

"What do you know?!" Oh yeah, I have Bee!"

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Don't!"

"D-

"SHUT THE FRAG UP! WE ALL KNOW THAT SOUNDWAVE HAS A THING FOR BEE, AND BEE HAS A THING FOR SOUNDWAVE! SO WHY DON'T YOU BOTH SHUT YOU FRAGGING MOUTHS?!"

"Damn Screamer. You sure are mad."

"Well I'm still mad about you mom. She thought I was a femme."

"Well… you do." Sideswipe said.

"Shut. Up."

"Ok, Ok. Let's go. I have to give Bee his wheel polisher back."

"Wheel polisher?" asked Soundwave.

"Yeah. You polish your wheels. Maybe it'll give you a chance to talk to your boyfriend."

"I don't like Bee!"

"Do!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Primus please help me!" Starscream pleaded.
