Title: Summer Wishes

Prompt: Dandelion Seed

Disclaimer: Wish I did own Transformers. It would have more sparklings.


Galaxy sat with her legs crossed, plucking at the grass and dirt with her claws. It was summer, and the younglings had been taken on an outing. It was just a field, a sea of tall green grass spotted with wild flowers, but it was such a drastic change from the desert it seemed like a wonderland. Even under the watchful gaze of Arcee and Nova, the little ones were in a world of their own.

Cloudjumper broke away from her game of tackle tag with Bunkerbuster and Striking, which Galaxy had refused to play because both mechs were significantly larger than she was and Striking would throw a fit if she scratched him, and made her way over to the Seeker. She dropped down in front of Galaxy, who grinned at her.

Cloudjumper smiled back, and snatched up a dandelion. She held it up to Galaxy's face and said brightly, "Jack told me once that if you blow away all the seeds and make a wish, it'll come true!"

Galaxy blinked her optics. "Really?"

Cloudjumper nodded enthusiastically, so Galaxy smiled wide and blew until the little stem was bald. "Then I wish that we'll stay friends forever."

And they sat, firstborn of the Autobots and the Decepticons, and watched the summer breeze carry their dandelion seeds away.


I'm gonna have to make an effort not to have all of these shorts revolve around these two. I can't help that they're my firstborns - first emerged? - too.

Bunkerbuster & Striking are twin mechs, sons of Breakdown & Knockout. Can you guess which sparkling takes after which creator? They're sparklings three and four, and were complete surprises. Think "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" except with alien robots.
