Disclaimer: I own nothing but Starshine, Hasbro owns it all.

Everyone kind of remembers their first day of school, right? Yeah, neither do I. I only remember my first day of high school and glad I'm not there anymore. Enjoy!


"No, I don't wanna."

Sideswipe sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. He, Sunstreaker and Starshine were sitting in his and his brother's old Headmaster's office.

The Headmaster remembered the two of them well, from all the trouble they used to get into. Of course they were only here because Sideswipe suggested it.

The Headmaster had accepted Starshine into his school, except the only problem was… she didn't want to go.

Sides looked down at the little femme curled up on his lap, before turning his optics towards his brother. Sunstreaker was also watching her a slight frown on his face.

Blue optics then turned towards him. "Maybe we should wait a little longer."

Sideswipe could not hold back his astonishment and it seemed neither could the Headmaster. Sunny was not siding with Starshine on this.

"She needs her schooling Sunny," hissed Sides. "Don't let her control you."

Sunstreaker glared. "She is not controlling me." Sides gave his twin a 'are you kidding me' look.

Ever since Starshine has lived with them, Sunny has done nothing but spoil her. Whenever something happened to one of his paintings or something around the home, Sideswipe would get the blame. He wasn't even near those things to begin with.

Oh yeah, Starshine had her big brother wrapped around her tiny little finger.

"She's going Sunstreaker and you are going to be the one to persuade her." With that Sideswipe picked up the femme and placed her in Sunstreaker's lap.

The yellow mech looked quite scared at the moment, looking between the two mech's for help.

Sunstreaker still wasn't sure about letting her go to school yet, despite what Sideswipe had told him. It's not that he didn't want her to go, he really did. It was the idea of her not being at home, for most of the day, where he knew she was safe.

He could feel Sideswipes irritation across their bond and knew this had to be resolved. Bring up his hand he stroked a finger down Starshine's check. Instantly, her optics came up, from when she was pouting.

Star looked up at him, her face still in a pout. He smiled down at her, still stroking her cheek. "I don't wanna go Sunny," she cried.

"I know, I know," he whispered as she buried her head into his neck, arms wrapping around his neck. "But Sides is right, you have to go to school."

"NO."

He placed his hand on her back. "Please Star, don't argue with me on this. I promise to come get you myself if you don't like it here."

She pulled back her head with a few sniffs. "You promise."

He smiled touching noses with her and getting a giggle out of her. "I promise to do that and buy you something special."

A groan came from next to him, but they ignored it as her own smile lit up her face. "Really, can I have that toy that I showed you?"

He chuckled tickling her sides making Star giggle. "We'll see. Will you go to school for us."

Star nodded her head once, before burying her head into his neck once again. Sunny turned to look at his brother and inclined his head.

Sideswipe nodded before they turned back to the Headmaster. "Very well you two, I shall expect her at the school tomorrow. Have a nice day." He said.

The two stood up, Starshine still clinging onto Sunny's neck as they left the Headmaster's office. They walked through the hallways, other mech's and younglings moving aside to let them past.

What they didn't know was that Starshine was looking behind them, her optics looking at each youngling. One youngling in particular watched as she left and just before the youngling was lost from sight, Star waved. The youngling waved back and Star smiled before burying her head once again into her brother's neck.

Author Notes: Yay, Starshine still has her brother Sunstreaker wrapped tightly around her finger. Give him a puppy dog face and he'll give her anything she wants. He's way to gullible. Review please!
