Short random thingy. Wanted to figure out how the cousins Gadg' and 'Che would meet.

Ironhide and Ratchet belong to Hasbro.

Gadget belongs to Ice-Ninja

Ricochet belongs to me.

Soon after Ironhide had called him, Ratchet travelled to him to meet Ricochet. The medic was understandably surprised at gaining a niece so suddenly, but he was happy none the less.

However, Ratchet's son Gadget seemed less so.

Gadget was only a month older than Ricochet but he still didn't understand the concept of 'cousins'. To him, his uncle 'Hide for some reason had a random sparkling with him.

Ratchet picked up his little mech and carried him over to where Ironhide was sat with his daughter. Gadget was sat on 'Hide's left knee while his cousin was resting on the other with her dad's arm holding her there.

"Gadget." Ratchet began in explanation and stood beside them. "This is your cousin Ricochet."

Gadget frowned in confusion. His little mind couldn't comprehend it. He only barely understood the concept of parents and uncles at such a young age.

"Couswin?" He asked unsurely.

'Hide nodded. "You're your dad's son, and she's my daughter. That makes you cousins."

Little Gadget still seemed confused. But specific family details could be explained when he was older. Right now they could explain it like this:

"Ricochet is family, and I betcha she's gonna love you Gadgy."

Gadget nodded with a small "ah". He kinda understood the word "family".

Up until that point little 'Che had been napping contently, but now she was curious to what was happening around her. Her optics fluttered open and the first 'bot they saw was Gadget. She looked at him with great interest, a cute smile forming on her faceplate.

Gadget stared back at the femme, then reached forward and poked her ped lightly. Ricochet giggled, and Gadg' smiled a little. It was a really sweet moment.

And there were plenty more to come.

*Poke*

(About Gadget's age - I was going by how old he was in the fanfiction, which would have made him about a year older then Ricochet.)

[Edit - Ice told me he's actually a month older. Fixed that.]
