"Now, now Ratchet. My bro would never let himself get that bad. Would ya, Sunshine?", asked Sides, as he walked in.
Ratchet looked his way. "I thought you would still be on Cybertron, Sideswipe? They let you go?", asked Ratchet.
"Naw, doc. I have a 3 day weekend. I don't go back 'til Monday afternoon. So, what happened while I was gone?", Sides asked.
"Wolf went into stasis lock as of 15 minutes ago. There's no telling how long she'll be like that or if she'll even wake up at all", Ratchet said.
"Then I'll go tell 'Warp and his boys. Someone needs to tell Prime", Sunny said.
"You tell Prime, Sunstreaker. I'll tell Skywarp and his boys. But first, you are going to take a shower. Even if it means I have to drag your sorry aft down there, myself", said Ratchet.
"But...what about my sis?", asked Sunny.
"No buts, except yours down in the showers. Your brother can watch her while we're gone. Can't you, Sideswipe?", Ratchet asked, looking at Sideswipe.
"Yeah, no problem. But let me go tell Prowl that I'm back for the weekend. Oh, and Sunny...", said Sides.
"Yeah, bro", Sunny said.
"2 things you need to know. 1. Your GF left you for another mech. And 2. You reek like centuries old energon. Hit the showers now. Especially, if you're going to go talk to Prime. If smells you, then you know that he'll order you to take a shower. So, just do it before you get yelled at, ok. Hey, sorry about your GF, bro. Tough break", Sides said.
Sunny was devastated when he heard that his GF left him for someone else. But he was more worried about me than his GF leaving him at the moment.
Shortly after his shower, Sunny went to tell Prime that I had gone into stasis lock. He felt better since he took his shower. "Sides was right. I do feel a lot better. I feel like my oldself again", Sunny said to himself, as he approached Prime's office.
Shortly after he walked up to Prime's office door, he knocked. "Enter"", Prime said.
Sunny walked in and sat down in one of the chairs that sat in front of Prime's desk. "Sir, may I talk with you about my adopted sister, Wolf?", asked Sunny.
Prime looked up from his current report. "Is she ok? I heard what transpired in med bay yesterday", said Optimus.
"She, um...she went into stasis lock a while ago", Sunny said, lowering his head.
"I didn't quite catch that, Sunstreaker. Could you please speak up and say that again?", Prime asked.
Sunny looked back up at Prime and said, "she went into stasis lock a while ago. I found out yesterday that she tried to commit suicide. You care to tell me more about that, since you obviously found her with her wrists slit", said Sunny.
"How do you know about that, Sunstreaker? Ratchet doesn't even know that", said Optimus.
"He's the one who said that you found her like that. So, yeah, he does know. The question here is, why wasn't I told right away, Prime? She's my adopted sister and I wasn't told that she was trying to commit suicide! And don't give me the line that you were going to tell me when the time was right! You didn't want me knowing at all, did you!", Sunny yelled.
Prime got up from his comfy chair and walked around to where Sunny is sitting. Or rather, not sitting, but was practically jumping over the desk. "You need to calm down, Sunstreaker. Yes, it's true, I didn't want you to know. I knew that you would blame Ratchet for her trying to commit suicide. Ratchet and I both thought it would have been best that you didn't know what was going on. I'm sorry you found out that way", said Optimus.
Sunny sighed, then apologized for his outburst. "It's quite alright, Sunstreaker. I understand that you're upset. Take as much time off as you need. But please be on call in case I do need you on the battlefield, ok", Prime said.
"I understand, Prime. And thank you for giving me the time off to be with my adopted sister. I hope she comes out of it. She told me before she left for Cybertron, that she was going to go back to school to further her education even more. She was even going to take that job offer that the dean asked her to take. Now she might not be able to if she doesn't wake up", said Sunny.
Then he got even more upset and started throwing things and punching walls. He was so pissed that when Prime tried to stop him, Sunny clocked him square in the face. Prime went sailing into the wall and slid down.
Meanwhile, outside of Optimus' office, Ironhide was walking by, when he heard yelling and other noises. He bypassed the command code to Prime's office door and rushed in. He noticed Prime laying on the floor, out cold. Sunny was still throwing and hitting things.
"Hey now, Sunstreaker. Settle down now!", Ironhide yelled, as he tried to restrain Sunstreaker.
Prime was just coming around, when he saw Ironhide trying to restrain Sunstreaker. He noticed that Ironhide was having no luck at all. Ironhide heard Prime moaning, which meant that he was coming around. "Glad to have you up and around, Prime. I could use some help with the yellow psycho right now", Ironhide said, as he ducked his head. He didn't want to get decked by Sunstreaker. At least, not again.
Ever since the day he was thrown into the Hole (solitary confinement) by Ironhide, Trailbreaker and Brawn, Sunstreaker really hasn't been himself completely. He had been tried for attempted murder on a fellow Autobot. The charges were dropped if he sincerely apologized to the Autobot and did what he was told without questions.
Everyone knows how dangerous Sunstreaker is if he's provoked or has his back against the wall. His twin brother is the exact same way. The only one who can keep them from either killing each other or another Autobot, is me. Prime saw the attitude adjustment in both of them shortly after the twins adopted me as their sister. Sideswipe has been pranking less and Sunstreaker has been less of an egomaniac. Which is surprising to everyone. But everyone is glad that he finally grew up after taking the medical class.
Now, he's back to the way he use to be before I showed up. A total psychopath. Ironhide called Sideswipe to Prime's office to help restrain his brother. If anyone can do it, it's Sideswipe.
Shortly after Ironhide cut the comm. link with Sideswipe, did he burst through the door. He couldn't believe what his twin brother was doing. He felt it through their bond that they share, but he didn't think it was this bad.
Unbeknownst to the 3 mechs there, Sideswipe had a young human boy with him. This boy was different from their human friend, Spike. This boy had dirty blonde hair and drop dead gorgeous sky blue eyes. He was wearing a red T-shirt, blue jeans and blue Airwalks. He looked to be about 15 or 16 years of age. This boys' name is Chris Stratos. He was rescued by Sideswipe shortly after he had gotten off duty. The Decepticons had attacked the school that Chris was attending. Chris is the second human to attend school on Cybertron. He's rather smart for his age. Which isn't surprising due to the fact that he had grown up on Cybertron.
"Stay back, Chris. I don't know what my brother will do if he gets free from their or my grip. And I don't want to take that chance, either", Sides said.
"Ok, Sides. Just be careful", Chris said.
Sideswipe nodded, then proceeded to try and calm his twin brother down. "Sunny, it's me, Sideswipe. Come on bro, take it easy. Wolf wouldn't want to see you like this, would she? I don't wanna see you like this. You've controlled your anger for so long, don't lose it now", said Sides, as he restrained his brother.
Sunny calmed down and looked at his twin brother. Sideswipe noticed the look in his brother's optics. He was sad, angry and full of all other emotions. "It's ok to cry, bro. I know you're upset about her. I felt it in our bond. I feel the same way, but I'm not lashing out at everyone and everything. Before I left our shared room, I thought I saw her move a bit. Maybe she's coming out of stasis lock. Why don't we go find out, huh?", Sides said, as he lead Sunny out of Prime's office. Chris was right behind them.
"Hey Prime, did you notice that young human with Sideswipe by chance?", Ironhide asked.
"Yes, I did, Ironhide. I'm going to make it a point to find out who he is. In the meantime, could you give me a hand here? Sunstreaker made quite a mess of my office. I'm glad that Sideswipe was able to calm his brother down. I really didn't want a repeat of what happened before. And I certainly didn't want to send him down to the Hole", Prime said, as he picked up his plaque that had some of his medals.
"I know what you mean. That was a mess. He was crazier than before after we brought him out of there. Trailbreaker and I were lucky that Brawn was with us when we brought the yellow psycho out of the Hole", Ironhide said, as he picked up the digipads from the floor.
