Chapter 8: Sweet

Since that night, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker became more close to me. I don't know why though, but they seemed to be more overprotective. They even don't want me to see or talk to Trent anymore. They said if I encountered Trent again, I should just run away from him and hide in the girl's bathroom or somewhere. They were sweet. I couldn't help but, return the favor with something.

So, right now, I was panicking because day light were soon going to be night time. Five minutes earlier, I called Mikaela to help me with something. She panicked as well as she heard me needing her help. I believe that she's going here in light speed because as soon as I said I need her help. She turned on an engine sound and hung up. I raised an eyebrow as she just sound so panicking.

About a minute has passed; I heard a motorcycle's engine coming towards me. I turned my head around and found Mikaela with a blue motorcycle, which is Arcee is disguise. Mikaela took off her helmet and ran towards me while Acree stood there, like she was scanning the area. Suddenly, Mikaela grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into a tight hug. I eyed her curiously, what was going on?

"Jen, what's wrong? Did any Decepticreep attacks you? Where are they? Are they here?" Mikaela quickly asked me.

I gently pushed her away from hugging me, "Um… Ms. Mikaela, I'm not in danger or in any of that situation." I answered.

"B-But you said my name without a 'Ms'! So there has to be a problem! A-And your voice sounds panicking too!" Mikaela shouted as her face showed pure shock. "And I even bring Acree here!"

Was I really in that panic state when I called her?

I chuckled, "Well yes but, not in a Decepticon trouble… just a minor trouble." I answered nervously as I got a sigh from Acree and a glare from Mikaela.

"So? What's the problem?" I heard Acree's holoform asked.

I took a deep breath and sighed heavily, "You see… Today's the 27th of May," The two nodded and I continue. "Well, today's actually is Emily's Birthday and I want to buy her something special, since it's her 17th birthday, a special day for a girl." I explained.

Mikaela face palmed and ran her hand down her face. "Really, Jen? Really? After all she did to you and you still want to buy her a gift! Gosh, if I were you I'll use that money for something else!" She yelled in frustration.

I turn to Acree and she had the same expression, "You know… I have to agree with Mikaela here, Jen. She had done nothing to you but, you wanted to give something to her. Isn't that not fair?" she asked as I just laughed.

I shook my head, "What's important is giving not receiving." I said as we three entered the mall.

We three wondered around the shop, window shopping. I was hoping that I'll find a very nice gift for Emily this year. I want her to feel like a Princess on her 17th birthday. Even though my family hasn't celebrated my birthday for 10 years, I still want her to feel happy. I know my parents will buy her something more expensive than my gift and my gifts always ended up in the trash can or under Emily's bed. I knew that my parents were the one throwing them away. What I bought for her was quiet very nice. Like one time, I bought her a pair of knee-high boots and it kind of ended up in the bin, because the fabric is plastic. I should have known that Emily only wanted to wear leather! Darn, I'm so stupid.

Suddenly, Mikaela and Acree stopped. I turn to them with an eyebrow raised. "Have you ever thought of buying her that?" Acree asked as she pointed a finger at something.

I was curious. So, I approached the shop and saw that Acree was pointing to a very scary dog. I backed away as I saw the two girls want me in amused. I shook my head, "No way am I getting her that! That dog looks like a devil!" I shouted.

Acree laughed and put her hands on her hips, "I would like to see the terrorized face on your sister." She smirks as Mikaela nodded.

I only sighed and smiled. We continue to window shop while looking for the perfect gift for Emily. Arcee suggested that I should get Emily a snake or a bug while Mikaela suggested that I got Emily a cheap perfume and some cheap lipstick. She should have known that Emily HATES cheap items. And Acree should have known that Emily DESPISED bugs and things that crawls or slimy things. I sighed, this was going to be a long shopping night, and I don't even have more time! The party starts at seven! And right now, it's six!

I slapped my forehead as Mikaela and Acree, both pointed their finger, showing me a small caterpillar. Wait- why are we in the pet shop again? I sighed and drag them both out of the pet shop and began to window shop again. I wonder how we even got into the pet shop in the first place anyway. As I was searching from store to store, Acree and Mikaela stopped for a moment.

"Jen… I still don't see why you have to buy her a gift. What has she done to you to deserve a gift?" Mikaela sighed heavily.

I turn to her with a small smile, "She's the reason I'm still alive. I mean, a big sister's job is to protect her younger sister, right?" I asked as they both exchange looks.

"True but, what have she done to you?" Mikaela questioned again.

I stayed quiet. I guess Emily hasn't really done anything to me. I sighed and heard Acree coughed. "This proves it, let's go home." Acree said as she turned her heal around to the exit.

"Wait! Can you guys just please help me? Please, it's for me not her." I said as I pleaded.

Mikaela and Acree sighed deeply, "Fine." The two grumbles.

I smiled at them and placed my hand on their shoulder, "Thanks guys."

We walk around again for half an hour and its fifteen minutes to seven! And still I haven't found anything for Emily and we were sitting near the fountain! Then Mikaela sighed looking over to the shoe store. "Why don't you just buy her the new purple leather boots?" She asked.

I shook my head, "She has those already."

Acree pointed out to the clothe shop and on the window, stood a manikin with a red dress, "What about that dress?" She suggested.

"She already bought that last week." I answered.

"What about a big teddy bear?"

"She got plenty."

"A tiara?"

"She have one already."

"A Baby-G from G-shock?"

"She already has four."

"Um… A Barbie doll?"

"She got a whole closet of it."

"Um… A clock?"

"She's kill it." I sighed as that IS the last one I am going to answer. "Look guys, I want her to feel like a Princess for tonight and those things you've suggested, she already has all of those. So, any other suggestions you girls have?" I asked.

"Um… A necklace?" Mikaela suggested. Actually, that isn't a very bad idea. It's a brilliant idea!

"Ms. Mikaela! That's perfect!" I exclaimed.

Arcee raised an eyebrow, "But, are you sure that's not too expensive?"

I nod, "No, Mrs. Solstice, I actually have the money to buy a necklace." I said while smiling.

We three headed towards the jewelry shop. I glanced at some of the cheapest but they were still expensive, I found a perfect one. A necklace with a small dark blue stone, I grinned as I found the necklace. I pointed to the necklace I wanted to the salesman and he wrapped it up in a fancy wrapper. I hummed happily as I still got a few minutes to spare. I found another store, like an army store. I smiled as I entered the store.

"What are you doing? You already bought Emily a gift." Mikaela stated.

"It's for Mr. Swipe and Mr. Streaker, they have done so much for me and yet, I've done nothing." I replied and I told the salesman to carved Sideswipe's and Sunstreaker's names on the metal army necklaces.

Both Arcee and Mikaela smirked as they saw me having a soft spot for Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Well, I might have a soft spot for my step twin brothers... As I pay for the items, I turn to them with a confused look as the two were snickering at me. I shrugged with my shoulders and sighed, "You like them…" Mikaela smiled.

"Like them who?" I asked.

"So… Is it Sides or Sunny?" Acree asked amused.

"Huh?"

They both shook their heads. "You're so clueless." Acree sighed as she placed a hand on my shoulder. "Now, c'mon… You have to get to that party on time right?" She asked as we three went to the parking lot. I nodded as Acree's holoform disappeared and her alt-mode revved her engine.

Mikaela took the front while I took the back. We both rode on Arcee back to my home. Turns out, when I called Mikaela, she was working with Arcee's engine. I laughed as Mikaela told me that Arcee panics and almost transformed into her bi-pedal mode because she heard me panicking as well. Acree grunted and drove faster as we both squealed. Acree chuckled at us while we glared at her.

19:10

I glanced over to my watch and saw that I was only ten minutes late, thank goodness it's only ten minutes. My house was filled with people, mostly the popular kids and my families. Acree and Mikaela decided to tag along while I searched for Emily; they suggested that I should get out as soon as I gave Emily her gift. I agreed on that one because I know that Trent would be attending her party. I searched for the whole living room but, didn't find her. I decided to search at the second floor.

First I checked out her room and my eyes widened as I saw Trent and Emily doing… something. Feeling awkward that I'm watching from the door frame, I coughed. They both stopped and glared at me while I only scratched the back of my head. Emily growled and grabbed her teddy bear. She threw one at me but I dodge it and grabbed the bear.

"Emily," I sighed her name. "You're sixteen turning seventeen. You're not allowed to do that until you're married." I said as I throw the teddy bear back to her pile of dolls.

Emily sighed, "I-I'm sorry… I f-forgot!" She stuttered as I just smile.

"That's alright, just promise me not to do it again." I said to her and she nodded. I turn to Trent with a glare. "And you," I pointed my finger to him. "-keep your hands to yourself." I finished with a death glare.

Emily turned to me with a smile, "So? What are you doing here?"

I grinned and grabbed the small box, "I bought you this… Hope you'll like it." I said as I placed the box beside her.

She raised an eyebrow and opened the box. She gasped a little bit but soon gave me a really big smile. She jumped to hug me as I embrace her with open arms. "Thank you Jen! Thank you! I love it! It's beautiful!" Emily cheerfully stated.

"You're welcome, Emily. By the way, have you seen mom and dad?" I asked.

Emily shook her head, "No, I haven't seen th-," She was cut off by a loud engine.

We three, Trent, Emily, and I look outside the window and our eyes widened. Trent's jaw dropped to the window frame as I only stared in disbelieved and awe. On the other hand, Emily was squealing like a little girl. In our driveway, there's a new model of the expensive car, a Porsche Turbo 911. From the passenger's and the driver's seat came out our parents, waving their hands to Emily.

Emily squealed one more time before rushing out of her room, pushing Arcee and Mikaela out of her way. Trent followed after the sudden outburst of Emily. We three stared at where Emily and Trent dash out. I shrugged and as so as Mikaela and Acree. Mikaela and I went out of Emily's room but Arcee stayed behind. She bends down to grab something.

"Jen…" She said as she handed me the necklace I gave for Emily. Mikaela gasp and gave me a frown, I smile sadly and sighed. I grabbed the necklace and shoved it into my pocket. "C'mon, Jen… let's go to Sam's house. I'm sure Bee is there with Sides and Sunny." Mikaela added as she grabbed my shoulder and dragged me out of the room while Acree followed.

I nod and started to walk away towards Samuel's house. I heard Emily was squealing with delight as she revved the powerful engine. I turn my head and saw Trent went in the Porsche with her. She started to drive, trying the Porsche for a quick spin around the neighborhood. Mikaela and Acree pushed me gently again as we crossed the street. Acree knocked the Witwicky's door; we waited for either it was Judy or Ron or Samuel, or Bumblebee to answer the door.

After four minutes, Judy finally answered the door. "Oh! Hi Mikaela, Jen, Arcee! Sorry I didn't answer sooner! It's that damn loud music across out house! Gosh… it's so noisy!" She yelled.

I laughed nervously, "I'm very sorry for the loud noises coming from my house, Mrs. Judy. It's my sister's seventeen birthday today and she wants to be a Princess for tonight." I answered.

"Oh sweetie, it's not your fault. C'mon in! Sammy's inside his room with Bee, Sides, and Sun!" Judy chirped happily.

I smiled as Judy called Sunstreaker, Sun. He's very sensitive about his name. Call him Sunny and you're dead, except you're his twin. He doesn't mind if I call him Mr. Streaker, which is weird though. I will mostly likely get killed by him for calling him that. But, lucky that he didn't killed me. Actually, it's the other way around; they actually want me to call them Sides and Sunny. Usually, Sunstreaker didn't like anyone calling him Sunny but, now he wants me to call him Sunny. Weird, right?

"Hey girls!"

We heard Sideswipe yelled from the floor. Acree, Mikaela, and I stared down at them all. They all seemed to be bored. Sideswipe was lying on the floor beside Sunstreaker, Bumblebee was near under Samuel's bed, and Samuel was on his bed; lying on his front and a pillow above his head. Yep, they were pretty much bored here. I decided to sit on the chair while Acree sat on the desk and Mikaela sat on Samuel's bed.

"UGH! DAMN IT! The party across is so LOUD!" Samuel yelled.

I gave him an apologetic look, "Sorry… My sister's having her sweet seventeen. Please forgive her." I said as he nodded.

Sideswipe sat up right while Sunstreaker was still lying on the floor. Sideswipe turned to me with a grin, "So… why aren't you in that party? You ARE her big sister right? Surely you ARE invited."

I was about to answer but, Arcee beats me to it, "Sides. She DIDN'T invite Jen into her party. She even threw away the gift Jen bought her." She explained.

Bumblebee jolted up but, he ended up bumping his head to the bed frame. He groaned as Sunstreaker sat up beside his twin and Samuel pretty much fell off of his bed. "She did WHAT?!" They all yelled in union except Acree, Mikaela, and I.

I blocked the sound with my hands while Mikaela and Acree did the same. "Yeah, and it was a pretty expensive necklace too. It cost like two hundred bucks!" Mikaela sighed heavily. I pulled out the necklace from my pocket and sighed heavily as they just stared wide eye at the item in my hand.

"Well… Ms. Mikaela, you can have it." I said as I throw the necklace to her.

She caught it with ease but gave me a look, "Jen! You know that you could get a refund!" She scolded and I just shrugged.

I shook my head and smiled, "Nah… I bought it and Emily apparently doesn't like it. So, it's for you. You look good wearing it." I gave her a big grin.

"But-,"

"No buts, Ms. Mikaela. It's for you and that's final. Think of it as an early birthday gift." I said as I pointed a finger at her.

"Thank you." She finally said.

I smiled as I rested my head on the desk. This is going to be one long night. I look up from Samuel's window and saw Emily with Mom and Dad. They look so happy. Emily stepped out of the Porsche and hugged Dad. Mom was leaning against the door as she was crossing her arms. Dad stopped hugging Emily and gave a kiss on her forehead, as soon as Emily was done with Dad. She hugged Mom. I stare blankly to the three as I couldn't help but, felt left out… a lot.

And then, Emily hugged Trent. I just wish that Emily would pick a better guy that him. Maybe Nick or Mike, they both are smart and very respectful of her. Now, why couldn't she pick one of them? Sometimes I even wonder… what DOES she sees in Trent, other than his popularity and the wealth of his family, of course.

"Jen! Cheer up!" I heard Bumblebee shouted.

I turn to him, "I'm not sad Mr. Bee… I'm just tired that I kept hearing loud disco music at my house." I groaned as I slammed my head to Samuel's desk.

"Well… Let's go to somewhere!" Sideswipe grinned.

"Like where, Mr. Swipe?" I asked.

"Anywhere's good." Sunstreaker answered.

I shrugged and followed the twins. I saw Mikaela and Arcee was snickering, don't know why though. I decided to ignore them and continue to follow the twins. As soon as we were outside, I saw the party was getting started and I heard Judy and Ron yelling for them to turn the volume down. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker snickered as I just smiled. I entered Sideswipe and we drove off.

I decided to enjoy the peace and quiet.

I smiled as Sideswipe turned on soft jazz for me. I could feel the amused look on his face as he was tapping with the rhythm. I yawned and crossed my arms as I let sleep took over. I felt the seatbelt tighten a bit to keep me in place. I smiled again as we were still driving.

"Jen… Wake up. We're here."

I heard Sunstreaker said. I stretched my arms and yawn silently. I stepped out of Sideswipe and their holoform was seen in front of me. I glanced around and saw that we were at a park, a park that I never been to. It was beautiful, the fountain on the middle, a bench, and a lot of street lights. The gentle breeze hit our skins as the wind flows with the leaves and flower pedals.

"Where is this place?" I asked.

"From now on, this is our secret hideout!" Sideswipe exclaimed happily.

"It's a small abandoned park not far from your house, a fifteen minutes drive. This place is near the coffee shop called Starbucks at Road Eve." Sunstreaker explained.

I nod as I just stared in awe. I can't believe that a place this beautiful is abandoned. I saw Sideswipe and Sunstreaker sat down at the bench. I smiled and approached them. I sat in the middle while they both closed their eyes and leaned their heads back. I leaned my head back but found something soft to lean on. I turned my head and saw it was Sideswipe and Sunstreaker's arm. I sighed but smiled.

We continue to enjoy the peace and quiet for another five minutes before something was shoved to my face, something really cold. I yelp in surprised and pressed my hand on my cheek. I saw it was Sideswipe with three drinks. Two with blue liquid and one seemed to be hot liquid.

"Mr. Swipe, what is that?" I asked as I pointed my finger to the blue liquid.

"It's high-grade Energon, sweetspark." Sunstreaker said as Sideswipe gave him one.

"And here 'ya go!" Sideswipe gave the hot one to me. I eyed it suspiciously. "Oh c'mon, Jen… it's not Energon. It's coffee." He grinned as he and Sunstreaker gave me an amused look.

"Oh…" I said as I took the coffee from Sideswipe.

I drank it slowly and I heard Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were snickering. I raised an eyebrow while eyeing them. "What's so funny, Mr. Swipe? Mr. Streaker?" I asked, raising my voice a bit.

Sideswipe pointed to his own cheek, "Well yeah dude, you have a mustache." He said, still snickering.

I blushed; okay… this is so embarrassing. I wiped the cream off of my face and sighed. I turn to the boys and give them a look, saying 'is it gone, yet?' they both answered with a laugh. I huffed and sighed with a smile. Then, I just realized… the army necklace! I reached inside my pocket and found the two necklaces. I stood up and they both raised an eyebrow.

"Close your eyes." I said smiling.

The two shrugged but did as told.

I placed the cold necklace around their necks. They shivered a little because of the cold metal touch. I laughed a little. I was done and gave a proud smile. "You can open your eyes now." I said and they both did.

"What is this?" Sunstreaker asked.

"Hey! It has our names written on it!" Sideswipe grinned.

I nodded, "Like it?"

"Like it? We love it!" They both exclaimed.

"But… why did you buy this for us?" Sunstreaker asked.

I only gave a laugh and answered, "Well… You guys were really sweet to me. I need to repay you somehow."

I saw Sunstreaker smiled and as so as Sideswipe. "But-," Sunstreaker moved closer, really closely. He leaned very close to my face, his electric blue eyes shining and I just raised an eyebrow at his acts. "-you're much more sweeter." He said and licked my cheek.

I let out a small gasp and blushed as I heard Sideswipe said, "Beh… I can do better." And he rolled his eyes.

I look over to Sunstreaker and he licked his thumb, seeing cream on his lips, I couldn't help but blush. Was that cream on my face the whole time? Ugh, I'm so embarrassing! I groaned as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker raised an eyebrow. I mumbled a sorry but they both smiled and scooted closer to me. Looks like they realized that I'm cold, I smiled and closed my eyes. I leaned my head against Sideswipe's shoulder and went to sleep. Before that, I felt Sideswipe kissed my head and leaned against my head while Sunstreaker against my shoulder.

We three fell asleep under the starry night.

A/N: Aw… I had that scene on my head for awhile now… I just have to write it! Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the chap!
