Optimus reached down and allowed Alaina to climb into his hand nervously. He made sure to walk slowly so that she didn't feel like she was going to lose her balance, even though he wouldn't let her fall no matter what happened. Clutching his hand, Alaina waited impatiently for them to reach the medical bay. Finally reaching their destination, the Autobot leader opened the doors and set her down gently.

"I'm afraid I have to leave you here for now." He told her. Nodding, she waved at him before marching into the Autobot's version of a hospital, which looked more like a mechanic's shop. Two yellow bots, varying in shades, were standing around a large metal berth.

"Excuse me!" She shouted up at them. The brighter, leaner of the two whipped around to glare at her.

"What the frag do you want, squishy?" He growled.

"I'm here to see Sideswipe, asshole!" She sneered. 'I'm guessing this is Sunstreaker's true form.' She thought. 'Only he could be this rude.' "Now, let me up there!" Alaina didn't care that she was being rude as well; all she wanted to do was make sure that Sideswipe was ok. Plus, karma.

"What business do you have here?" He demanded. Wasn't this the human he had seen with his brother earlier this morning? She didn't have any business being here; she was just a stupid, unimportant femme.

"Well," The girl in question put one hand on her hip, thinking of the best answer. "'Sides practically saved my life, y'know." She said. "And therefore I believe I deserve to be here with him; and besides, I have to thank him, don't I?"

"How did he save you?" Sunny scowled at her. Why in the universe would his brother 'save' this puny creature? His job was to fight, not go around saving people.

"We were walking around, talking. He was showing me around the base, then the alarm went off and he panicked, sort of. He dragged me to the safe room and told me not to go anywhere else. If he hadn't been there, I would've been locked in my room, not knowing what the hell was going on, and then the Decepticons could've killed me. So in a kinda roundabout way, your brother saved my life." She told him quietly. The bright yellow Autobot stared at her with his electrifying optics for a few moments before sighing.

"Alright, I guess I'll have to let you up here then." He said reluctantly. Ratchet, who had thoroughly ignored the duo until then, looked up from his work on Sideswipe.

"Then just set her on the edge over there." He pointed to a spot by the unconscious mech's head. "I don't need her getting in my way."

Sighing again in agitation, Sunstreaker bent down and scooped Alaina up roughly, depositing her in the designated spot. "You could've been gentler, y'know." She muttered, standing up and dusting off her pants.

"Just don't touch anything." The medic said.

"Alright, alright. Hey, what's your name anyway?" She asked him.

"I am Ratchet, the Autobot's medic." He introduced himself without looking up from what he was doing.

"Well it's nice to meet you, I'm Alaina." She sat down cross-legged. "So Doc, what exactly is wrong with him?" She questioned, trying – and failing – to keep the worried nervousness out of her voice.

"Nothing life threatening. Just some scratches and dents mainly, but I had to repair one of his main wires that got pulled. That's the reason he is in forced recharge for the moment." Ratchet explained to her.

Giving a relieved sigh, she turned towards Sunstreaker, who was still hovering over his twin. "Hey, Sunstreaker?"

"What?" He snapped, shooting her a sideways glance.

"How are you? Are you hurt or anything?" She asked, not looking at him.

Needless to say, Sunny was extremely shocked. Never, in his extremely long existence, had a human ever asked if he was okay. There was never a need too. Everyone always just assumed that he was alright and unharmed. After all, he was an established Cybertronian fighter; he shouldn't get hurt, right? Especially on this planet, where the only threats were a few Decepticons.

"Umm, I'm fine." He said, double checking over himself just to make sure that none of his paint had gotten scratched. "Those filthy Decepticreeps are no match for me." He said arrogantly.

"Mmkay." Alaina chuckled. "If you're sure."

"Of course I am!" He said indignantly.

"Whoa buddy, calm down." She spread her hands out in front of her. Huffing, he crossed his arms and turned away from here. "Are there any others that got hurt?"

"Nothing but minor dings and dents. Sideswipe was the worse, and even he's not that bad." Ratchet told her nonchalantly. Frowning, Alaina moved closer to the silver 'bot.

"Why did Sideswipe get so injured, anyways?" She asked, running a hand over a scratch in his armor. "I mean, he told me he was a fighter, or something like that, so that would mean that he was skilled, right?" She looked up at the two mechs with worry filled eyes. "So how come, if nobody else got hurt as bad as he did, he's so injured?" She asked the medic. The conscious twin flared down at her with malice filled eyes, causing her to take a step back in alarm.

"If you're so curious, squishy," He growled out, "It's because my idiot of a twin brother didn't want you getting hurt. Throughout the entire fight, you were the only thing he was thinking of. As a result, he acted foolishly."

Alaina couldn't believe it. Why in the seven layers of hell would Sideswipe be that worried about her? She could understand him being a little bit worried about her, that was just the Autobots' nature. But being so worried about her that he lost his focus on the battlefield and got hurt from it? There was just something extremely off about that. Especially because they had just met.

"W-what?" She stuttered. "Why?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Sunstreaker threw his hands in the air in frustration. "It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You're just a mere squishy!" He ignored the indignant look Alaina threw at him, continuing on with his rant. "You're not that important either, he just met you for Primus' sake!" As he ranted, Ratchet turned to the worried girl.

"Don't mind him. That is just one way he expresses his worry for his brother." He told her.

"But I just met Sideswipe, like literally a few hours ago."

"I see…" Ratchet thought for a minute. "Well, if Sideswipe is already as attached as you are implying, then it might be the byproduct of a bond." He said.

At his words, Sunstreaker stopped mid-rant and his head shot towards Ratchet. His opted were wide and his stood absolutely still. "W-what?"

"I said that there is the strong possibility that there is a bond forming between your brother and Alaina." Ratchet said agitatedly, clutching a large wrench in his metal hand.

"B-but, she's human! It's not possible for a Cybertronian to bond with a mortal!" Sunny argued. "There's no way Sideswipe would bond with her." He pointed a finger at her accusingly.

"Hey now, don't go pointing fingers at me! I don't even know what I did!" She said, glaring at him with her hands on her hips.

"What you did?" The angry mech ground out. "What you've done is just sentence my brother to death! I hope you're happy." As he stormed out, Alaina looked at Ratchet helplessly. What was she going to do now?

A/N: Well, it's a little bit too much dialogue, but I kinda like it. Over 1200 words~ Which is actually longer than my other chapters... But whatever. It's an update xD Please, please, please tell me what you think! Please review!

Chapter seven is already being written, so it should be out sometime next week. I'm hoping to start getting weekly updates, but y'know...Life happens.

Thanks a bunch for reading!
