It was a few days (read: two weeks) later when the twins had decided to let go of the small and somewhat fragile "spark" in order for it to return it to its body. Well, Sunny was letting go of the emotional teddy bear while Sides was in the med-bay for his checkup. Ratchet finally came in, grumbling over a file and barely gave sides a glance.
Pausing after something had updated in the file, he glanced at a closed off section before leaving, letting Sides wonder what was going on. Ratchet was nearly never like this unless something major was going on. Usually someone had gone into a stasis lock that made him act like this.
That or he was just plain distracted.
Either way, Sideswipe really wanted to know why the spark behind that curtain felt extremely like the one that he and Sunny were barely bonded to. He had to admit, it was an extremely flimsy bond that could break at any moment, which probably explained why it had disappeared some time ago, but not why it came back when the twin bond was fixed. Personally, Sideswipe was wondering why they had a bond in the first place, but right now was not the time to think about such things.
So a minute after Ratchet had left, he quickly inched towards the curtain and quietly pulled back the curtain.
…
Sideswipe wasn't sure what he was expecting, but a tiny human girl was certainly not was he was expecting. Especially one that looked a little sick.
He tilted his head to side and stared blankly at her.
/Sunny… I… I think that the spark thing that we have… might… I think it might be human.\
Soon after, the girls face turned pained and he felt Sunny freeze in shock, then anger. Sunny's reaction, he was expecting. The girls expression, he felt as if it confirmed it. Her emotions turned a little fearful, a reaction he was upset about but couldn't do anything about, was one that he only expected if she was truly the spark that they had came to know and become fond of.
/This is most unexpected.\ And then Sunstreaker exploded.
Not literally of course, but he might as well.
Sideswipe gently pulled her soul away from him and gently pushed it into her body. Or at least, that was what he was trying to do.
He quickly put the curtain back in place and slipped out of the room. /Sunny, please, don't do anything rash. The bond may go away again.\ he tried to placate his brother.
A quick (and slightly painful) snap sounded between the three, and then
/See, I told you it would go away.\ he ignored the sudden dull and empty pain in order to focus on Sunstreaker, who seemed more and more hell bent on getting violent and killing something.
Sides sighed, and knew that he should've listened to his gut this morning. It seemed to know that today would be a bad day…
Waking up was… rather quick. And painful to say the least. But I guess it had to be done, even if it felt like I just wanted to sleep for the rest of eternity. To be honest, not feeling them… I haven't not felt them like this before. Before when I didn't, I knew that they were alive and I could still sorta… sense them in a way, I guess.
But now? I had no idea. I felt so… so empty.
I think I just laid there for an hour, maybe. Could've been longer.
Or shorter. I didn't have the best sense of time.
Well, whatever. I got up, eventually and grabbed whatever I could find to cover myself. Which was a big ass army hoodie, cargo pants and a baseball cap. Good. That worked. It covered it up.
I absently scratched at my arm and looked to see if anybody was near the door before I made a break for it.
'Gotta get out. Gotta get out now.' I kept repeating inwardly, finding the repetitive thought keeping me from an anxiety attack.
'Part one, complete. Now onto phase two.' I hummed a random, yet oddly familiar tune to myself as I eventually found the hangar. Fantastic.
Better get out quick, before I have a complete mental breakdown in the middle of this place. The hollow feeling in my chest became heavier, making it harder to breath and causing me to lean up against the wall just as one familiar 'Bot walked passed looking oddly upset for some reason or other.
Oh well. Not my problem anymore.
I kept my head down until he passed me.
Oh, look. Theirs's Sam. That's rather… convenient. I smirked and sneaked up behind him and tapped his shoulder, making him shriek.
"Yo, Sam. Mind giving me a lift home? I need to get out like, now."
"U-uh. Mikaela literally just left to go see you in-" I cut him off before he could finish his sentence. Wow, rude much?
"Sam. Home, now." Maybe I was acting like a bit of a bitch? Eh, I couldn't really tell. Anyways, he gave me an odd look.
"Alice? Are you ok- yeah, stupid question. Right, home. Yeah I can do that. C'mon."
I guess I must've blanked out for a little while… Well, that's the only way I could describe showing up at home so quickly. I tilted my head, staring at the very familiar, yet not at the same time, house. Somehow, in my zombie like state, I managed to unlock the door and found myself soon silently crying, wondering what I did wrong.
So Sunny is pissed, Sides is sad, and Alice is pretty much broke. Some soulmates only go one way, and for Alice it seems like it might just be the case for her.
Q) What would be your reaction if the two names would have been the other twins?
Q2) Do you think Sunny will get over the species gap? or will he remain forever pissed?
