Okay, I have a lot of updates to do, so I'm posting as quick as I can with these stories I have. Be patient and each one will be updated in time!

Italicized is the twins speaking over their bond


Sideswipe was first to notice how quiet Starshine was, when Sunny and him picked her up from school.

She was walking in between the two of them, holding each of their hands in one of her own. Star was old enough now to walk on her own, since her last major upgrade. Though still young enough to be considered a sparkling still.

The red mech looked down at her, to see that her optics weren't really focused on one point. He was sure that if neither of her brothers were holding her hands, she would be walking without seeing where she was going.

Sides felt a questionable pulse in his spark, turning his glance to Sunny.

"She's quiet." He said as Sunstreaker glanced down at her.

"I noticed. Do you think she's ill?" The yellow mech asked back over their bond.

Sides looked down at her again and shook his head, feeling his twin relax slightly. "No, I don't think she's sick. But we should ask her as soon as we get home."

Sunstreaker nodded as the three continued on, coming upon their home a few kilks later. Starshine walked into the apartment, heading straight for the couch, by passing her toys completely.

The brothers exchanged worried glances before following, sitting down on either side of her.

"Starshine, what's a matter?" asked Sideswipe.

Finally, Star looked at something as she turned to him and then looked towards Sunstreaker. She was quiet for another few kilks before her mouth opened and words poured out.

"Where do sparklings come from?"

Both mechs stuttered, pulling back slightly from their sister, completely shocked she had asked that.

"Sides, what do we do?" Sunstreaker asked over his and his brother's bond.

Sideswipe shook his head. "I have no idea."

Starshine was watching the two of them carefully, wanting to get her answer. The mech's exchanged a glance then turned back to her.

"Why do you want to know Star?" Sides asked first.

"Because Wheelburner said that he's getting a baby brother or sister." She explained.

"How do you purpose we explain this one?" asked Sunny.

Again all Sideswipe could do was shake his head. "Why is it you want to know Star?"

A small smile came upon her face. "Because I want a baby sister or brother." She spoke happily.

Both mech's could only stare at her as their mouths dropped open. Honestly, neither of them was expecting this kind of thing coming from Star.

After sometime of no talking Sideswipe cleared his vocalizer. "Well…. ah…. who wants energon goodies?"

Starshine instantly smiled completely forgetting about her question and heading straight for the kitchen area. There she jumped up and down by the cabinet as Sideswipe followed. He could feel the thankful distraction from Sunstreaker, but both knew this was far from over.

Author Notes: Okay, this chapter didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but the next one will make up for this one. I promise.
