Chapter 4
Third Point of View
One Week Later
"Now you have all requirements for school? You haven't forgotten you pad with the uploaded homework Rhythm?" A black and white mech Prowl looked down on his son while having a soft but stern look on his faceplates.
"No Sire! I double checked honest!" A little black and silver mechling chirped to his father. Rhythm was a quiet mech for his age his parents thought, but then again having Prowl SIC to the Autobots could have some effects on his only child eventually. However, he did love to play and learn all new sorts of history from his parents, this is where he got his energy from his father Jazz.
"Come on Prowler! Give him some space. It's not like he hasn't gone there before." Prowl blushed slightly on his mate calling him by his so called nickname, it was embarrassing! Especially with this son right there! Jazz had just finished his morning energon and was just about ready to take Rhythm to school.
"It may not be our child's first day, but it is Ironhide's. Lucinda may be a Prime but she is still very vulnerable to others. I need to know that she will be looked after."
"And she will be! We got little Rhythm watching over her, she'll be fine."
Jazz walked over to his mate and creation and crouched down to optic level with Rhythm before speaking to him.
"Now buddy, we don't wanna put any pressure on ya but we need to ask a huge favour. Your mission is to watch over Little Prime alright? Just be friendly and make her feel welcome."
"Yes Dad…" Rhythm said slightly hesitant. Talking to his family and his friends he had no problem, but to new people and important bots like Primes! It was scary….
"You'll be fine Rhythm."
"Yeh! She's a little darling. If anything, I think she could be a really good friend to ya."
He knew that the Little Prime Lucinda was tiny compared to him and every other bot he knows, and yet he still felt unsure about the whole situation. Of all bots in the entire school, he was chosen!
BEEP BEEP!
A sudden comm call snapped Jazz out of his discussion and answered, knowing who was so urgent to get in touch with him this early.
:Jazz where are you? I need to get to base before Ratchet blows a gasket:
Jazz chuckled at the thought of old Hatchet glitching over overdue check-up.
:And a good morning to you to Hide. I'mma on my way now with Rhythm:
:Fine:
Jazz looked back at his family as they were saying their goodbyes for the day and off to work.
"Come on little mech, lets head over the Little Primes pad."
As they left their quite spacious pad they transformed into their vehicles and set their coordinates to Ironhide and Lucinda's pad. Jazz turned into his regular silver Pontiac Solstice GXP, while Rhythm changed into a smaller version of a black and silver Polo car. He was still in his youngling frame and wouldn't grow out of it for a little while yet.
Lucinda POV
Today was my first day of school with other bots my age and I'm so excited! Daddy didn't want me to go at first, but then after a lot of begging and pleading…. He said yes!
I was always brought up to be polite, friendly and always help the needy; that's what my big brother Optimus always tells me. I'm grateful for everything my Daddy and brother does for me and rarely ask for anything, but learning and getting an education like everyone else was something I've always wanted to do.
I don't know any other bots my age but Jazz said his son will be in my class, that's one friend!
Their coming to take me to school since Daddy has to go to work, but he's picking me up later at lunch time. If today goes good I can stay all through the day next week.
"Lucinda! Jazz and Rhythm are here." Lucinda's sire called up to her.
"Coming Daddy!" Looking over herself through the mirror in her little bathroom she double checked she didn't have any morning energon on her dress. She was wearing a light blue dress with a pink collar and short sleeves; she also wore pink leggings and soft brown and white boots. Her hair was in a neat plait with little curls on her face.
Lucinda ran out of her bathroom and grabbed her new backpack she got last week. It had everything she would need for her classes, all miniature her Lucinda's size thanks to the Autobots and their funding's. (Pads, data notes)
As she arrived near the giant door (well to her it was!) she saw her sire talking with Jazz a smaller but still quite a bit taller mechling, this must be Rhythm!
They all turned to her when Ironhide picked up his daughter and held her close to his spark chamber, she gave him a quick hug while he quietly purred as a response.
"All ready to go Little Prime?" Jazz asked while holding his hand out for her to climb on.
"Yep!"
Lucinda swiftly climbed over to Jazz (well she had a lot of practise!) and sat on the palm of his hand all prepared to go with her backpack sat on her lap.
They all walked out from the pad and all transformed to their vehicles ready to head off, not before Ironhide spoke over Jazz's radio so Lucinda could hear him too.
:Now I'm warning you now Jazz, make sure my daughter gets there safe and sound….. And in one piece!:
Both Jazz and Lucinda chuckled at Ironhide's warning, Rhythm didn't respond since he didn't really know the mech well enough to comment…. He could defiantly be intimidating, even when he's not even trying to!
"I'll be fine Daddy!"
:Yeh Daddy she'll be fine!"
:Don't push it Jazz: Ironhide growled back at him.
Ironhide drove towards to south to the Autobot base, while Jazz and the sparklings went to the east to the Cybertronian education building.
:Hi….. I'm Rhythm:
Lucinda didn't except a straight conversation while they were traveling down, but still she could sense he was a little nervous and shy so she smiled and continued a conversation. Jazz decided not to interrupt the sparklings and let them get to know each other before getting to school.
"Hello Rhythm! My name is Lucinda. Thank you for looking after me today…. I'm a bit nervous."
:Oh it's okay. Do you know any other bots at school?:
"No, you're the first bot my age I've met before."
:Wow! Well I'm glad to be the first! And hope we can be…. Friends?:
Lucinda giggled at Rhythm's nervousness before speaking.
"Oh course! I'd love you to be my friend."
They carried on having little small talks about themselves and their hobbies, then Jazz told them they had arrived and all transformed on the school grounds.
The building was almost as big as the Autobot Base! It was very beautiful and full of the Cybertronian colours. (Blue, gold and purple) It really was a master piece!
Jazz knelt down to the sparklings
"Well have a great day kids! Hide's picking you up after lunch Little Prime and I'll come get ya after ya finish Rhythm." With one last wave he transformed once more and drove to the Autobot base.
Rhythm looked down at his newest friend and noticed her uncertainty and offered her his hand, she slowly climbed on and let her friend take them to the new building.
"You said you liked painting right? Well I have friend who is amazing at art! Actually we have it today so maybe you could make another friend!"
"Really? Do you think other bots will like me?"
"Once they get to know you they will" He gently smiled down at her.
"Just try not to disturb him when his painting, he prefers being on his own. Unlike his twin."
"You know twins?"
Twins on Cybertron is very rare and it is quite uplifting when meeting them.
"Yes. There's Sideswipe who's the all red mechling and his twin Sunstreaker who is all gold. Their pretty different in personality though."
"Wow!"
RING RING!
"Well let's get going, we don't want to be late on your first day."
And off they went into the building with smiles on their faceplates.
