Chapter 6
Third Point of View
Ironhide had just finished his morning shift at the Autobot Base, he got permission from Prowl and Optimus to leave early. Well after he explained that it was Lucinda's first day of elementary school. Optimus was perfectly content with Ironhide leaving for the day and coming back next week, however Prowl was not too keen on this decision!
He eventually arrived at the school building and went inside to speak with the schools headmaster and discuss his sparklings future at the school.
"Excuse me? Ironhide is it?" A White and brown bot asked the weapon specialist. He was about a head or so smaller than him and had was not quite as built as Ironhide. Well if the discussion didn't go to plan…. Let's just say one would be leaving without an arm or leg.
"That's me. Let's just get down to it."
"Ah yes. Well actually I have invited one of Lucinda's teachers of the day to discuss how she is coping in class. Just to ask if she is getting along with the other sparklings."
Well it did make more sense, instead of just taking some bots word about his sparkling and how situation; having a bot who has actually watched her for the day and how she has socialised with others.
"Very well. Where is he?"
"Why don't we come into my office and wait for him there? He shouldn't be long."
After a grunt for response, they walked into a large office (Not has big as Optimus's though) and took a seat while the headmaster walked around the desk and sat across from him.
"Ah. Where are my manners! My designation is Coreyhale, It is a pleasure to meet you Ironhide."
"Likewise" Ironhide grumbled. Even though he had a sparkling of his own and tried to make sure she socialised well. Ironhide? Yeah not so much.
A few moments later Holequake staggered into the office before sheepliy smiling and sat next to Ironhide.
"Excuse my tardiness Sir, there was an accident in the play area. You must be Lucinda's Sire Ironhide?"
Ironhide glanced at him before grunting at the teacher. Realising he wasn't going to get anything out of him first, Holequake began to speak to the bots in the office.
"Well. Lucinda is a very sweet and polite sparkling! She was very eager to learn about our history, such as The Golden Age and she seemed quite comfortable."
Ironhide looked over to the teacher when describing his daughter to him, it made his spark well up in pride when others speak highly of her. She was his daughter, of course she was perfect!
"And from I saw, she already made some new friends which is fantastic! Rhythm seemed to watch over her and even brought him out of his shell more. The twins seemed very happy to meet her, if I am correct the four of them are sat together right now."
"Hmm. Well, how do you think she would cope if she remained her permanently?"
Holequake looked at Ironhide then back at his boss before smiling once more.
"I think she would be a perfect addition to this school as well as an amazing student."
"Well I think that settles this discussion. Would you please fetch Lucinda and bring her outside to meet with her Sire please?"
"Of course" The three bots walked out of the office and began walking away.
"So she is able to remain here then?" Ironhide spoke before folding his arms across his chest.
"Indeed, her teacher seemed more than happy with her progress."
Just then both bots turned their heads to see Holequake walking back, holding little Lucinda in his palm.
"Daddy!"
Sunstreaker's POV
After watching his teacher walking away with their new friend, Sunstreaker looked back to Rhythm and his twin.
"Wow. Who would have thought that Lucinda was Ironhide's sparkling!" Sideswipe said.
"Yeah. Sire complains about him all the time about his attitude and cannons. And then he has someone as nice as Lucy."
Sunstreaker cursed himself calling Lucinda 'Lucy' in front of his twin
"Lucy huh? Ooh seems someone likes the new girl!" Sideswipe teased.
"Shut it Sides!" Though he didn't exactly say no.
What was really on his processor, was that stupid Thundercracker sitting a few tables away from them.
He just couldn't let that jerk get away with bullying Lucy! He was going to make him pay for picking on a sweet girl.
Without listening to his friend's conversation, he stormed out of his bench and walked over to Thundercracker's table and slam his hands on the table.
"If you want to pick on somebot, pick on somebot your own size!"
Thundercracker looked up to the angry golden bot before going back to his energon.
"I don't know what you're talking about goldy."
Did he just call me goldy?!
Sunstreaker snatched his afternoon energon and threw it across the room. This got everybot's attention alright!
"Don't mess with my friends again or next time it won't be energon that goes across the walls."
Thundercracker slowly stands up and stands in front of Sunstreaker (He was a few inches taller than him) while snarls back.
"That thing was your friend? I didn't know you were reducing your friends to scrap-heads!"
OOH!
That jerk is going down!
Before Sunstreaker could say (or do) anything, Sideswipe stands next to his twin.
"If you say anything mean to Lucy or about her, even behind her back….. We'll know! And we'll just get even with ya."
Thundercracker's optics widen slightly. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were not called the Terror Twins for nothing!
The three mechlings stared at each other until eventually….. Thundercracker back down.
"Alright fine"
"And….. Next time you see her you are going to say sorry and tell the teacher that YOU broke all her supplies!"
"What no wa….."
The twins glare hardened
"Sigh"
"Sure whatever!"
Before any more damage could be done, Thunder walked out of the room.
"We still got it Sunny."
Yeah…. No one insults my friends and gets away with it. I'll protect Lucinda no matter what!
Lucinda's POV
Lucinda and her father had just returned home from picking her up from school, talking about her day all the way home.
"I can't wait for next week! Maybe I can paint with Sunstreaker next time! And play with Sideswipe too!"
"Hold on there! You'll fall to the floor at this rate."
Oops hehe!
"Sorry Daddy, I just loved school and learned lots!"
Her father placed her down on the floor near her size dining table and chairs.
"I know sweetspark, and I'm happy you're enjoying it. Perhaps the twins will have their annual creation-day celebration and invite you to it."
A party?
"Really? I've never been to a celebration party before….." Sounding quite nervous.
Ironhide transformed into his vehicle mode and let his holoform appear.
When Lucinda was brought into Ironhide's life, Ratchet was able to make a holoform which looked and felt like an actual human. They were just like a humanoid Cybertronian, but they could appear whenever in vehicle mode. This is made raising Lucinda a LOT more helpful, and she enjoyed getting cuddles from them too!
Ironhide's holoform was a six foot four male around his late thirties or early forties with shiny black short hair, also a noticeable scar over his left eye to his bottom cheek. He was wearing black male tank top with cargo pants and black tie up boots. He looked pretty intimidating even in human form!
Ironhide knelt down to his sparkling and holding her chin up to meet his human optics
"I'm sure you will enjoy it, everybot has a great time at a celebration."
"If you say so Daddy."
"Now, let's see what you learnt today."
Lucinda grinned and ran to the table and pulled out her data pads and began to tell her Daddy everything she had did that morning.
She really loved moments like this!
Authors Note
Here's chapter six!
I think I'm getting better! I'm trying to get some more ideas for when Lucinda gets older. Would love to hear you thoughts?
