TFP: Youngling

Ch.21~ Siblings

We had all settled down, I was watching a new cartoon with Raf, Miko and Jack it was about a duck family who went on cool adventures. Sunny was in the corner working on his art. Sides and Bee were in the training room with Bulk and Jackie playing lob. Arcee was out scouting and Carrier was on the monitors and Sire was with him typing away. Seems like we had all adjusted, I looked at the clock everyone would be heading home soon.

"We got time for one more episode." Raf stated, I nodded as he set up the next episode.

"Wish we could have a sleepover here." I muttered, Miko spun to look at me her eyes filled with determination.

"That sounds awesome." Miko chimed, I smiled as she giggled. "Optimus could we have a sleepover!"

"A what?" he asked still working.

"A sleepover you know we all stay here for the night." Miko explained.

"I doubt your guardians would appreciate that." He stated, but he seemed to think. "Maybe with a bit of planning we could do that."

"Awesome you are the best Optimus!" Miko called, I smiled that sounded nice.

"Soon time for bed Star." Carrier stated, I nodded.

"I know." I replied.

"Ow!" Sides whined, I saw him being led in by Bee who was shaking his helm.

"What in Primus' name did you do Sideswipe?" Carrier demanded; Sides held of one pede which was turned backwards from the knee joint. "How in scrap did you do that?!"

"Fix it now Sideswipe!" Sunny bellowed not even looking up from his art.

"Aww Sunny had to ruin it." Sides whined twisted is leg back looking annoyed.

"How did you manage this?" Carrier questioned.

"Um… Sunny help me here." Sides pleaded, Sunny subspaced his datapad and walk over.

"Living corpses." He stated, wait a Terrorcon.

"A Terrorcon!" I called racing over to them worriedly.

"A wha?" Sides inquired.

"Did they have a purple glow?" Sire asked, they both nodded.

"Yeah, they were kinda everywhere." Sides replied, "We figured Shockwave was experimenting again."

"That isn't Shockwave's handy work, it is Megatron's." Carrier stated, he sighed and crossed his arms.

"Seems we were mistaken…" Sire stated.

"About what sir?" Sunny asked.

"Megatron revived all the corpses on Cybertron to become his army we destroyed the bridge they were coming to and we hoped that destroyed them all." Carrier explained.

"All of them…" Sides muttered and Sire nodded. "So that one was really was…"

"Who did you see Sideswipe?" Carrier demanded.

"Ironhide, I thought I was mistaken it was him who did this to my pede." Sides answered, he looked upset.

"I see, now let me fix your pede so this prank will never repeat."

"Optimus sir did you see… nevermind…" Sides muttered, I looked at him confused.

"No, I did not Sideswipe." Sire replied; I wonder who they were speaking of.

"So, what do we do with them?" Sunny asked, I saw him looking more serious than normal.

"For now, nothing." Carrier stated as he worked on Sides.

"Optimus sir we can't just…" Sunny began but Sire shook his helm. "Why did Megatron revive them and how?"

"Using Dark Energon the life blood of Unicron, it has toxic effects on us but can reanimate the dead, but they are mindless violent beings. He has used the substance on himself." Sire stated; I gritted my teeth.

"I see that face little feme." Carrier teased, I smiled at him as he motioned me over.

"Oh scr… sorry." Sides stated and Sunny nodded as Ratchet scooped me up.

"It's okay, it's kinda confusing." I replied, I felt Optimus pat my helm.

'I can fill in more later.' Bee suggested my brothers turned to him nodding.

"Thanks Bee, I want to hear all the trouble you got into without us." Sides teased and Sunny folded his servos.

"You're the trouble maker out of us three Sides you moron." Sunny teased and Sides pouted out him.

"Rude!" he whined, I giggled as Ratchet set me beside Sides on the berth.

"Now shut your trap so I can do my work bitlet." Carrier ordered, Sides nodded and grinned at me.

"Jackie!" Bulk called, I jumped off the berth and Sunny put me on his shoulder.

"Let's investigate cutie." Sunny stated and we began to walk down to the workout room.

"Bulky! Jackie!" I called as we approached.

"Be decent!" Sunny hollered as we walked in.

I saw Bulk standing in the room, where was Jackie? Sunny set me down and walked over to Bulk putting a hand on his shoulderplate. Did Jackie leave? I saw Bulk rub a servo over his face, I guess he must have Bulk never cries.

"Left again?" Sunny stated.

"Yeah." Bulk answered.

"Remind me to kick his backside then."

"Heh, I really should have seen this coming."

"He is the worst at sitting still, bet Optimus scared him off."

"Heh, always preferred Hide's leadership."

"You mean the lack of that."

I turned on my scanner, I could detect a signal from the back of the base. Turning I raced to catch the runaway Wrecker, I skidded into the room and saw Wheeljack digging through parts. Clearing my vocaliser, I smirked before yelling boo he jumped falling into the pile.

"Nice try Jackie." I teased, he turned and saw me a weak smile.

"Jeez make me jump out my protoform kiddo." He stated.

"Good."

"Harsh."

"Well it got your attention; did you really think you can just leave again."

"Huh?"

"Stay with us for a week."

"Direct much."

"Bulk would love it plus if you leave now, I will kick your aft next time you come back."

I looked at him and he looked shocked then broke out into laughter leaning his helm back. I giggled too, sitting up again he smiled at me and put his servos up.

"Got it kiddo deal, sounded just like Jazz there."

"I am his creation Blinky."

"Got that right, let me guess the twins are back up."

"I don't need back up."

(Sunstreaker's POV)

I was walking with Bulk searching for Star where did she run of to, turning I saw her dragging Jackie down the hall. A smile grew on my face as I walked over and whacked his helm and picked her up kicking him into Bulk. Looking down Star giggled as the two laughed awkwardly, reminds me of Jazz and me when they fought.

"Nice work Star, we make a good team." I stated, she looked up at me grinning.

"Can't have Blinky leave so fast." She hummed; I kissed her helm.

"You now me and Carrier did the same thing back in the day. They fought we each took one and shoved them together" I informed, she pushed back her visor optics sparkling.

"You gotta tell me all the stories." She pleaded, I nodded as I began to walk back to the main area.

"Maybe I can talk Ratchet into daily story times." I joked she giggled.

"No convincing necessary there." She replied and we both chuckled as we returned, I saw the humans were gone.

"Good timing you two, bedtime Star." Ratchet called Star nodded as I set her down.

"We need a room for them?" she pestered pointing to me and Sides.

"Already sorted bitlet nice try though but young bots need recharge." He teased and scooped her up.

"Wanna see!" she whined he chuckled.

"Alright, come on double trouble let's get this done." He called and me and Sides followed the grumpy medic.

"Wow looks like we are on our own." Sides whispered I nodded the others' suites were on the other side.

"Alright here this will be you're habsuite." Ratchet stated we looked in to see the empty room.

"Wow you two are lucky you get Optimus's old suite." Star chirped we turned to her, his suite.

"Did he piss you off Hatchet?" Sides teased and I dodged as a wrench connected with his helm.

"Haha!" he grumbled as Sides grinned up at him. "This little one can't let a secret stay secret."

"You are too obvious." She teased and he poked her cheekplate.

"Cute." He stated.

"I mean she's not wrong?" Sides stated and I chuckled as Ratchet kicked him into the suite. "Ow!"

"This is why you are the trouble twin." I mocked.

"You two have a good sleep." Star stated I turned to her smiling.

"Wait Hatchet!" Sides cheered and took Star from him. "We can put her to bed tonight!"

"Yelling makes me so confident…" Ratchet muttered not convinced.

"Come on Ratchet let us try, if need be, I will muzzle Sides." I pleaded he smirked and sighed.

"Alright." He relented.

"Yay!" Star cheered, Ratchet chuckled.

"Good luck she is wound up now." He called walking away.

Star broke out of Sides arms and raced and tackled Ratchet and gave him a kiss and raced back to us. He chuckled as he walked back to the main area. I scooped up Star and she directed us to her room. It was the furthest back.

"Kinda plain." I mumbled as we entered.

"Where is your blanket?" Sides asked, odd no thermal blanket.

"I don't have one." She stated as I set her on the berth.

"Be right back!" Sides cheered and raced off.

"Where is he going?" Star asked.

"He went to grab ours." I answered and she looked at me confused.

"Was in our pods supplies." I clarified, she nodded and smiled at me as she sat down.

"No one here has one." She informed.

"Not surprised there, when we were your age Ratchet would yell at us if we slept without ours." I reminisced.

"Sunny do you think our creators would be okay with me calling Rache and Opmis Sire and Carrier?" she stated, I smiled down at her worried face.

"I am sure of it, me and Sides felt the same, but they told us our real creators would be happy to see us close with mech's who wanted to raise us for them." I soothed.

"Did you know your creators?" she asked I smiled.

"Not really all I know was that they were two femes miner I think, don't really know much else." I stated.

"I bet they were awesome." She hummed.

"You are too precious." I cooed poking her chubby cheeks.

"Back!" Sides called I looked as he slid into the doorway.

"Don't make Ratchet beat you." I stated as he realised how loud he was.

"Fastest wheel here ya know." He joked and smirked before tackling us with the blanket. "Got you."

"Pftt subtle." I snickered as Star stuck her glossa out at him.

"You are super silly Sides, but this blanket is nice." She teased and began to wrap herself into a tight ball.

"Now what story should we tell?" I mused; Star looked up at us her face filling with a grin.

"I want a good story about you guys when you were close to my age." She chimed.

"Hmm oh I got one." Sides beamed I smiled.

'Which one?' I asked he smiled.

'The time we kept trying to sneak into the medbay to see Bee who was sick.' He replied, I smiled and nodded.

"Secret speak?" she quipped we looked at her confused. "What you were doing?"

"I guess it kind of is, as twins we get a way to speak over our bond kinda neat." Sides beamed, Star nodded and grinned.

"Now lay down little bot and we will tell you the story." I stated, she flopped back down and looked at us eagerly.

"Alright we were about seven stellarcycles when this happened, Bee had gotten sick with Cyberflu which meant quarantine. But we couldn't understand that, so we began to plot. How do we get into the medbay and play with him. First we hide behind crates, but Ratchet could see us like he had trackers on us." Sides began I chuckled at the memory.

"He very well might have." I added; Star giggled sweetly.

"Anyway, we were in our room trying to think of a great plan, so we thought of a plan. We knew a rush was coming to the med by so we hid in a corner. Once the bots started pouring in we snuck in and back to Bee." Sides explained.

"Nearly got stomped on in the process." I stated, Star giggled.

"Bee was so happy to see us and we talked for hours, we actually ended up falling asleep in there. We got a scary wake up with Jazz and Ratchet looking down at us. We go into so much trouble." Sides laughed, I smirked.

"We kind of deserved it."

"I guess, we were pretty young…"

"Young and dumb you haven't changed at all then."

"Hey, it's a talent."

"Hehe you two must have worried them bad." Star said I nodded as Sides sulked.

"Yep, we weren't as mature as you." I added and both of us chuckled.

"I do that stuff to, I mean I got in big trouble for picking a fight with Knockout and Breakdown." She stated, I froze and looked at her. "Was playing a game with Bee heard them and hide, they found me so I picked a fight to get Bee's attention. Kinda dumb I know, worked though."

"She is our sister." Sides beamed I smacked his helm.

"Tomorrow you have to show us your moves." I stated she nodded. "Alright time for sleep."

"Okay, can you guys sing Ja's Lullaby?" she asked, I smiled and kissed her helm.

"Of course but we suck at singing." I said in a teasing tone.
