After we arrived back on Earth, Sunny, Sides and myself headed for our own rooms to hang our diplomas up on the wall. We were all proud of ourselves for achieving a higher education.
The next day, Prime called me into his office to speak with me. I'm thinking, 'what did I do for him to be calling me to his office this early in the morning', as I looked at my watch. He also wanted me to bring Sunny and Sides with me, too.
As I knocked on their door, Jazz walked up to me. "Hey Wolf. What's shakin'?", Jazz asked. I looked at Jazz and told him that Prime wanted to see me, Sunny, and Sides in his office.
"Sounds serious. You three do something to tick the big guy off last night?", asked Jazz.
"Pfffft, no. After we got back from our graduation on Cybertron, they went to their room and I went to mine. Just cause they're my adopted brothers, everyone thinks that I get in trouble with them. Prowl always dreaded us three coming back every weekend. It's like we're not allowed to come back to see our friends", I said, still knocking.
"Alright! You can stop knocking on the fraggin' door!", Sunny yelled, as he opened the door.
"Don't need to be rude, Sunny. Prime wants the three of us in his office right now. You two didn't do something incredibly stupid after we got back, did you?", I asked.
"No. I went straight to bed after I hung my diploma up. Now, Sides on the other hand, went to the rec. room for a few drinks. In fact, he's still in bed, sleeping off a hangover from last night", said Sunny, pointing to his brother.
"Then we better get him up before he sends Prowl to get us", I said, walking over to Sides' bed.
"Wake up, Sides! Before I drag your sorry, drunk ass out of it!", I yelled. He woke up and noticed that I was in his face. Big time.
"What the slag? It's too damn early to be up", he said, as he pulled the blanket over his head. I pulled the blanket off him and dragged his drunk ass out of it and dragged him down the hall to Prime's office. Sunny was right behind me, laughing at his brother for being really stupid.
"You're not helping, Sunny", Sides said.
"That's what you get for getting drunk last night, bro. You should've went to bed instead of drinking in the rec. room", Sunny said.
"I was celebrating our graduation", said Sides.
"Quiet you two. Wolf, why are you dragging Sideswipe by his feet?", Prime asked.
"He got drunk last night, sir. He wouldn't get up, so I dragged him out of his bed and here to your office", I said.
"Ah. Sideswipe, get up and sit down in the chair. Same goes with you two, as well", said Optimus, as he gestured to the chairs sitting in front of his desk.
After we all sat down, Sideswipe glared at me. Prime noticed this and told Sideswipe that he would talk to him afterwards, as he sat down in his chair.
"I called you three in here for a reason. I got a call from the University late last night. Any idea why the dean would be calling me in the middle of the night?", Prime asked.
We looked at each other, then back at Optimus. "Sorry sir, but I have no clue. After we got back to Earth, I headed for my room. I hung my diploma up, then went to bed. I was asleep 'til you called me here this morning", I said.
"And what about you two?", asked Optimus.
"I went to bed after I hung my diploma up, too. The idiot sitting next to me here, went to the rec. room and got wasted. He had been sleeping off a hangover since this morning", Sunny said. Prime looked at Sideswipe, who was still partly drunk.
"What about you, Sideswipe? What did you do after you left the rec. room last night?", Prime asked.
Sideswipe put his hands on his head and bowed over. "I...I don't know. I was so drunk that I passed out in what I thought was the rec. room", Sides said.
Prime looked at him strangely. "What do you mean what you thought was the rec. room? What was the last thing you saw before you passed out?", asked Optimus.
"Again, I don't know. I was too drunk to notice. I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up in my bed this morning", said Sides.
"I dragged your sorry ass from the front of HQ to our room, you nimrod", said Sunny.
"Enough with the name calling, Sunstreaker. You know how I feel about name calling", Prime said.
"Yes sir. Sorry sir", Sunny said. I looked at Sunny in shock. He's never called Prime 'sir' before. That was odd. Sunny looked at me.
"What?", asked Sunny.
"I'll ask you later", I said.
Then I looked at Prime. "Is there anything else we can help you with, sir?", I asked.
"No. You're all dismissed. I want you to come see me before you turn in for the night, Sideswipe", said Optimus.
"Yes sir", Sides said. He knew why Prime wanted him to come back later.
"I'd like you to stay, Wolf. I need to talk to you about something", Prime said.
"Yes sir", I said.
"We'll see ya later, sis", Sunny said, as he and his half drunk brother left Prime's office.
