Ok Sparking time!


Chapter Four: New Spark

A few weeks later more bots came to join our team. This is when we began building on to the base.

Also during this time Hot Shot and Rocket came up with a badge all Autobots would wear. It was a red face that looked like my father, who looked a little like I did. Once the mold was finished, we all got it stamped on to us after Red made the pieces.

It took two months for the base to be finished. By this time we had over two hundred Autobots recruited. A few days after complication, Raindown and Coraline's pods where ready to be removed. The bots would be the first to be born during the war.

Both femmies where rushed to the new Medical Bay. Red and Ratchet had Rocket and I wait outside the door until the femmies where done.

Rocket and I waited outside not knowing what would happen or what was going on. Twenty kliks later Red Alert came out saying the bot's had been born…at the same time. We gave him a confused look. Bots that weren't twins that are born at the same time are rare, almost unheard of.

"Come see them for yourselves." He said stepping out of our way.

We walked in and saw our bonded sitting there with these strange gray things in their arms.

'That's what a sparkling looks like?' I thought. I had seen Hot Shot but he was much bigger and a few months old.

"Optimus," Raindown said looking up to me, she sounded tired. " It's a femmie."

I sat down next to her and look at the little gray mass of wires and bolts. She looked up at me and I saw she had the same rare green optics her Creator had. She blinked and gave me a look like she wasn't sure what was going on.

"What should we name her?" I said as the little bot grabbed my finger.

"How about…Starlight." Rain said rubbing the sparklings helm. "Because her optics light up like the stars above."

I smiled at Raindown and kissed her head. "That's perfect."

"Rocket don't hurt him!" Coraline said in a worried and tried voice.

"I won't." He said holding his sparkling above his head.

Coraline looked at us with tired sky blue optics. She seemed to be used to this.

"I hope he doesn't drop Bumblebee on his head like he did with Hot Shot." She said smiling.

"I was dropped?!" Hot Shot said as he entered the room. The poor youngling looked terrified.

"Explains a lot doesn't it boy?" Rocket said handing Bumblebee to Hot Shot.

"Uhh…I don't," Hot Shot tried to say but was forced to hold his little brother any way. "Uhh…hi."

I watched Hot Shot hold Bee in an awkward position which caused Bee to cry out. Bee had tiny door wings that Hot Shot accidently pinched.

"Here you hold her." Raindown said giving me Starlight.

She was heaver than she looked. Star looked at me with giant green optics and chirped. She clicked and cooed as she setteled in my arms. Then Bumblebee and Starlight started to make a strange beeping noise.

"Uhh…what's going on?" Hot Shot said holding Bumblebee away from him agian.

"Sound like their calling for each other." Red Alert said taking Bee from Hot Shot. As he brought him closer to Starlight it got louder until they touched, then they stopped.

"What…what just happened?" I whispered.

"I…I guess since they where born at the same time, they have this connection. The only why to stop the sound seems to be to have them touch." Red Alert said looking confused himself. "Usually this only happens with twins."

When I looked down at the little ones they where holding hands and looking at each other, it was cute. Bumblebee was purring while Starlight just gave him a confused look and warbled.


As we left the Bay and headed back to our bunkers, Rocket come up to me and whispered, "Think Prime, if Bee or Star ever get lost, we can us the other to find them."

This made me think, if one died would the other be able to locate their body or would they be lost forever? I shook the thought out of my processor and tried to think of something happier.


The first night with Starlight was the hardest. She didn't cry much, but she just wouldn't sleep. With those big bright green optics of hers, she lit up the whole room; she didn't let us sleep either.

"Starlight sweetie please, go to sleep." Raindown cooed in a sleepy voice as she picked her up for the millionth time.

"Maybe she's not tired." I said yawning. "Here let me see her."

Raindown rolled her optics and handed her to me. Starlight looked up and cooed again. I started to hum a song that my creator used to sing to me when I wouldn't recharge.

"Never knew you could sing." Raindown said giving me a sly look.

"Never really had the chance too." I said looking at the now recharging Starlight.

"Well at least it worked." She said taking Star and laying her back down.

I smiled and we went back to the berth, now we could recharge in peace.
