"You alright buddy, you were drifting into recharge just a few moments ago?" Sideswipe said, crouching down infront of the heavily breathing, almost panicked younger mech.
"Sorry if I woke you, I know you were just starting to drift off, I let you rest..."
"I'm fine amico" Mirage sighed, staring off at the open hanger door.
"Tired?" Sideswipe said, seeing the young spy's, tired droopy, deep sky blue optics.
"No not really..." Mirage yawned, turning his helm to face Sideswipe.
"Really, cause the guards said you up all night, until just a few moments ago" Sideswipe smiled, sitting next to the racing red Ferrari.
"Qualunque cosa" Mirage rolled his optics, playfully shoving Sideswipe, throwing the silver mech off balance.
"Alright Mr. energy, you have patrol with Bee, thought I'd tell you" Sideswipe chuckled standing back up, beside the red youngling.
"Thanks..." Mirage sighed, as Sideswipe rolled away as Bumblebee approached.
"Ready to go amico!?" Bumblebee chirped through the radio, standing with a big bright smile.
Mirage rolled his optics giving a groan, hopping to his peds, standing face to face with his fellow youngling.
"Good you two are ready too go" Ratchet walking over to the two, smiled through his usual gruff voice.
"As ready as we can get doc!" Bumblebee chimed fluttering his doorwings.
Mirage just rolled his optics looking the other way, Mirage usually was easilly annoyed at the overly cheerful scouts bubbly attitude, Mirage had no reason to be but somehow it did, perhapes it was because Bumblebee got all the attention, and praise, for being a good youngling scout, meanwhile Mirage just got scolded and yelled at for being his own youngling self.
"Mirage I expect that you will try to hold back on racing this time, I don't want any news of you causing anymore accidents with the humans" Ratchet scoffed his warning to the racing red youngling.
Before Mirage could sarcastically reply, Bumblebee cut in "Don't worry doc, I'll keep him under control" Bumblebee winked giving Ratchet a thumbs up, making the medic give a small smile and chuckle.
Mirage infuriated, not being able to tolerate the yellow scout, Mirage quickly stormed towards the hanger door, past Optimus and the wreckers.
"He's a little cranky, just a warning, he didn't get much recharge" Sideswipe mentioned wheeling up a flabbergasted Bumblebee.
"Wish I got that warning a few minutes ago" Bumblebee scoffed, before catching up with the transforming red mech.
Mirage revved his engine impatiently, as Bumblebee took his time with his transformation, before calmly driving out of the base.
Mirage was the complete opposite, he did a small burnout, before peeling off after the camaro.
"I thought you spoke to him?" Optimus asked, turning to the ancient medic below him.
"I did, Bumblebee'll smarten him up" Ratchet replied with a shrugg as he welded the platform Optimus held.
"I hope you're correct old friend" Optimus sighed, continuing to hold the platform up for the medic.
Out on the freeway, Bumblebee struggled to keep up with the Ferrari, with Mirage weaving in and out of traffic.
"Slow it down speed racer!" Bumblebee called, finally on a clear lane, Bumblebee pulled up behind Mirage.
Mirage then unexpectedly slamed on his breaks, causing Bumblebee to slam his breaks on, slowing himself somewhat, as he rear ended the Ferrari.
"Slow enough for you?" Mirage retorted to the yellow camaro.
Bumblebee steaming with annoyance and frustration, was so tempted to transform and toss Mirage off the Freeway, the racing red youngling was clearly in the mood to annoy him today.
"To slow, lets go!" Bumblebee peeled off, seeing a semi truck flying up from behind.
"Merda!" Mirage quickly hit the gas and sped off after Bumblebee, missing getting struck by the semi truck, he passed Bumblebee and went back to racing down the freeway.
"This is patrol, not a speed race!" Bumblebee growled, pulling infront of Mirage and slowing the Ferrari down.
Mirage responded by changing lanes, but Bumblebee reacted right away, swerving into the same lane, Mirage then swerved beck into the other lane, causing Bumblebee to do the same.
Mirage seeing an exit off the freeway, revved his engine abruptly, and quickly cut across the lane into the exit, escaping and losing the yellow camaro.
Mirage snickered, hearing the squeel of Bumblebee's tires coming to a hault, and the honks and yelling from the traffic that he had stopped.
Bumblebee couldn't just turn around in the insane traffic lined up behind him, he had to find the next exit, and find a way to get to his fellow trouble making youngling.
Bumblebe quickly accelerated, and sped off down the freeway, searching for the next exit, during that he called back to base.
"Bumblebee calling for back up, Mirage took off on me" Bumblebee's radio came over the commlink.
"Great, Mirage is going to get us kicked off this planet for good" Ratchet facepalmed in annoyance.
"I'll get him, I'm on my way Bee!" Sideswipe replied to the others, transforming and racing his way to Mirage.
Sideswipe sped past traffic on the freeway, and flew down the exit Mirage took that Bumblebee missed, onto another freeway, he sped past traffic, until he could see and hear the sound of a familiar, Ferrari engine.
"Mirage pull over!" Sideswipe yelled in a firm tone, making Mirage slightly jump.
Mirage obeyed and veered off onto another exit leading to a lone road, where he pulled over into an abandoned old building, with Sideswipe closely behind.
Mirage and Sideswipe made sure there was no one around, before transforming.
Mirage knew he was in trouble, by the dissapointed look on Sideswipe's faceplates, Mirage drooped his doorwings, and waited for the older mech to ring him out on what he did wrong.
"Mirage, things don't have to go this way if just obey the rules given to you" Sideswipe sighed rolling over calmly to the red youngling.
"You don't always obey rules, you always say, rules were meant to be bent!" Mirage scoffed at Sideswipe.
"Ok ok, I do say that but not all the time, and I only bend the rules when necassary, at least now I do, this planet is nothing like ours, it has a lot of fragile things, and whole lot of more rules" Sideswipe replied, watching Mirage peek out an opening on the building.
"I hate this planet, and I hate the beings that infest it, I wish we could go home..." Mirage sadly replied fixing his gaze on the glass and rubble infested concrete floor.
"Mirage I know your homesick, we all are, clearly you're a little more then the rest of us but we have all adapted to our surrounding here, even the wreckers" Sideswipe told the spy, as the sound of a rumbling engine came with in earshot.
Bumblebee rolled in, transforming in an annoyed and angered way, walking straight up to Mirage.
Mirage backed up slightly, as the angry scout aggressively came at him. "Who do you think you are, driving around like a lunatic!?" Bumblebee snapped, pointing a fingure at Mirage.
Sideswipe stepped in, trying to prevent a fight from sparking between the two younglings. "Bee...come on lets not start..." Sideswipe called, trying calm Bumblebee down, his attempt to prevent the fight, failed to comply with the two.
