Title: Through the Years

Rating: K+

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the plot. Hasbro owns everything.

I had realized that I had not update this story in a while and decided to post it here. But that's also because I was watching Transformers Armada all weekend and now I'm completely obsessed with that show. First it was the G1 version, then the movie, now this one. I'm suppose to be watching Energon next, hopefully I won't become to crazy about that one

Anyways, here is the next chapter for Through the Years. It's a little short, but I thought it would be cute to read about.


"NO!"

"Please."

"NO!"

Sideswipe sigh as the little youngling refused yet again to head towards the school. Starshine had her arms crossed over her chest and was pouting at the ground.

Sunstreaker was no help standing next to her, giving very little encouragement to get her to go.

Sides sent an irritated pulse to his twin, making the yellow mech look towards him. He then watched as Sunny knelt down to talk with the little femme.

She looked up at him with her blue optics. "I don't wanna go." She cried.

"I know and I don't want you to go either, but we both know you have too. Remember what I had said yesterday?" he asked stroking her helm softly.

At this a small smile lit up her face. "You had said you would buy me something."

He nodded his head. "Yes. Will you please go?"

Her smile quickly vanished and tears came to her eyes. "I'm scared to Sunny. I don't wanna." Starshine threw her arms around her brother's leg latching on tight to his yellow armor.

Sunstreaker continued to stroke her helm, trying to say something that will make her go. As if to answer his question another small youngling came forward watching Starshine closely.

His blue optics turned to Sunny. "What's matter with her?" he asked looking back at the little femme.

Star stopped crying and peeked her head out at the little blue mech. He smiled and waved, as Starshine ducked her head behind her brother again.

A chuckle came from Sideswipe as a second youngling came over, stopping next to the first.

"What's a matter Wheel?" it asked in a small femme voice.

The blue youngling pointed to Starshine as the little yellow and pink femme looked. "New youngling."

A smile lit up the little femme's face. Sunny watched as she moved forward and touched Starshine's back. He felt his sister latch on tighter as Star tried to get away from them.

"What's your name?" the little yellow and pink femme asked.

Sunny heard Starshine whimper as he unlatched her hands from his leg, bring her to face the two younglings. Sideswipe knelt down next to his brother as his sister tried to get back behind them both.

"Come on tell them your name," coaxed Sides.

Starshine looked up at them with sad eyes, then down at the ground. "Starshine." She spoke softly.

The two youngling's giggled. "I'm Wheelburner," said the blue mech.

"Flamestriker," the yellow and pink femme said.

Starshine looked up at them both as her brothers watched her closely. Wheelburner came forward with his hand stretched out. "Come, we go play." He said.

Star looked hesitantly at his hand and then to her brothers, who both nodded. She reached out her own hand and Wheelburner closed his own over hers. Flamestriker reached out and grabbed Star's other hand as they began pulling her towards the other younglings.

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe watched as their little sister went off with out a glance back.

Sunny stood up first feeling his brother arm wrap around his waist, pulling him close. "She'll be alright Sunny, she's a smart youngling."

"I know, I just can't help but worry Sides. This is the first time she won't be home during the day."

"Don't worry, we'll be here to pick her up later." Sunny nodded his head as the two of them left the school.

"Did you have fun?" Sideswipe asked as he and his brother walked away from the school.

They had just picked up their little sister Starshine, who had been playing with her new friends. Star nodded her head and then went off into an explanation of all that she did since they had left.

Sunstreaker was currently holding her tightly to him, although he had fussed for a good while. Sides smiled to himself at how over protective his twin had gotten over Starshine.

Oh yeah, she definitely had her brother wound around her little finger.

Star continued talking as they arrived back at their home, but stopped abruptly when she noticed something big in the living area. Her optics went wide as she stared mouth open at the thing.

Both Sunny and Sides chuckled at her expression as Sideswipe quickly took a picture. She continued to just stare at it, while Sunstreaker held her in his arms.

"Are you going to go play with it or look at it?" teased Sunny after a while.

She looked towards them both before a big smile broke over her face. "Thank you," she said as she was placed down onto the floor.

The two watched as she began playing with her new toy, glad that they could see her happy.

Author Notes: Not quite the ending I was hoping for but it still works out in the end. Hope you enjoyed and Please review!
