TFP: Youngling

Ch.10~ Vehicle Mode

I sat on the med berth reading my medical school work, this time I was reading up on how to write up a proper medical file and update it. I wish I got to do more practical tests instead of all this reading. Not that I didn't want to be a medic, I could help everyone more if I could be a medic, I can only really run the groundbridge and fight a bit. I need to learn more, I need to be of use to everyone.

"Have you finished your reading?" Ratchet asked, I shot up and looked at him awkwardly.

"Almost, Rache when do I get to move onto practical training?" I responded.

"Well not until you get an alt form, actual now that I am thinking of it I think it is time we got you an alt form. I will look online for a suitable vehicle then ask Fowler to bring one in for you to scan." He rambled.

"I get a vehicle mode! What can I be a truck or maybe a car like Bee."

"You will for the time have to go with a small vehicle."

"Aw…"

"When you get older you can pick a whatever vehicle you want but you are still growing you need a vehicle mode that can grow with you."

"Okay, just try to make it cool like Bee or Opmis' please."

"Hehe, I shall try little one, now finish your school work."

"Will do!"

(Bee's POV)

Star practiced her technique then out of nowhere she jumped up to kick her legs in a splits position. That move looks like Jazz fighting soon she got a set of movements that looked just like Jazz training. Where did she learn this? Did she learn from watching his practice as a sparkling?

"How did I do?" she asked breaking me from my thoughts.

'Good job but where did those last moves come from?' I replied she shifted awkwardly.

"Ja used to do those in my free time I was trying to do them, did I do them just like him?" she pressed.

'Yeah, I can't believe how quick you pick up moves.'

"Maybe it's in my coding my creators were great fighters, right?"

'Yeah, the two of them together seemed unstoppable, Jazz taught me how to fight when I was a trainee.'

"Really? Wow! No wonder you're so good in battle you learned from my Ja, he was so strong, only Megatron could touch him. He wasn't even scared facing Megatron."

'He always acted like he was in control no matter what.'

"Yeah, he always was so cool and I bet Prower was too, from what Jazz told me he is a very strong mech."

'He was but he usually was in charge of plans.'

"Sorry that my plan got you taken over by Megatron…"

'Don't be sorry it was a good plan, we couldn't have predicted what happened, I mean you barely had any idea what a cortical psychic pass worked. Besides I am back to myself, you even were there trying to help me.'

"I know it's just, I feel like I have as Miko say big shoes to fill."

'Just being who you are is enough, now let's test your blocking.'

"Alright!"

(Ratchet's POV)

"I got the motorcycle you requested what exactly is this for?" Fowler called he walked out of the elevator with at the three-wheeled motorcycle I had picked.

"Thank you, Fowler, it's for Stargazer, I was thinking it's about time she got an alt mode and hologram driver," I replied.

"You are giving a child giant robot wheels!" Fowler yelled, by the all spark he could be more annoying than the children humans.

"She is quite capable of handling driving on your primitive roads, normally she would have an alt mode specially made to grow with her at a much younger age. She is perfectly capable of handling this I can assure you." I stated he didn't seem convinced or pleased.

"Ratchet I finished doing the maintenance checks," Stargazer called running into the room with her tool box in hand she turned to Fowler. "Hello, Agent Fowler. Wait, is that gonna be my alt mode!"

"Yes, Fowler if you wouldn't mind stepping back so I can show Stargazer how to scan her first alt mode," I asked he stood aside grumbling something. "Alright now, Stargazer I need you to scan that vehicle like you do when you do maintenance. Once you scan it you should get specs then focus on them to transform."

"Okay!" she chimed she was able to scan the vehicle and soon transformed into the odd motorcycle. "Woah! That felt weird, but now I am I motorcycle thing."

"Now try to un-transform I need to give a program to create a holographic driver for when you go out." I urged she slowly turned back to her robot mode and stumbled a bit. "You will get you used to transforming soon, maybe during your defense training you and Bee can get you used to your alt mode. As for now, I need you to stand in the chamber so I can put you in shut down to download you the new program."

"Aww, I have to be in shutdown mode." She whined.

"Eyepep no whining, if you want wheels you need this program installed." I lectured she nodded and slowly entered the chamber, I adjusted it to her size and put her in shut down mode sending her the program installer.

"She's already doing maintenance?" Fowler asked I nodded looking to the agent.

"Indeed, she is quite bright, she is taken medical lessons, maintenance training, and some self-defense training. She is excelling in them all, soon I will have a bit more work off my shoulders and she will be entertained." I replied.

"Is it all to keep her occupied?" he questioned.

"I would be lying if I said no, but it is not the only reason, she actual asked me to teach her to be a medic," I responded turning back to the console.

"She has grown up quite a bit since she first arrived."

"Indeed, they always grow up so quick."

"Was that sentimental?"

"In war, children are a hindrance, so they are forced to grow up quick so that they can survive. I am being a bit melancholic for the days before the war, but I am an old mech we tend to get sentimental about the past."

"I didn't really know you guys did ages."

"Not in the same way as you humans but we do age but it takes a much longer period of time as we age. I am the last Cybertronian alive when the Prime before Optimus was alive and that was a long time ago even before our war with the Decepticons."

"I learn more about your kind ever visit, I better head back to work and return this motor tricycle."

"Yes, yes, goodbye then."

"You are a lot nicer than normal ever since she came around."

Before I could reply he was in the elevator going up, I vented, I guess she had softened me up a bit. She brought back a certain innocence I have long missed. I remember the old days when I would take care of all those kids in Kaon. I went through similar moments with all of them that I now did with her. Maybe that is why I choose to name her after the Hospital my sister had founded in her name.
