chapter 5

Sideburn was watching TV with his brothers it was cartoon. Not Prowl and X-brawn's first choice of entertainment but they were happy with what Sideburn wanted. As long as they were in touching distance of their brother they were just fine. X-brawn looked around he saw get well cards for Sideburn. Koji sent him one in the shape of a red sports car. The brothers occasionally shared laughs of what was going on the screen. It broke the sound of the beeping of the machines at Sideburn's bed.

Scalpel and Medicare came in. "How are you today Sideburn?" Medicare asked.

"I feel a lot better," Sideburn said.

"Wounds still and still sore from the surgery?" Scalpel asked.

"Hardly even sore from the surgery but the wounds are very sore if I stretch, scratch or if someone else touches them." Sideburn said.

Scalpel nodded. Scalpel looked at Sideburn's chart. "Sideburn just needs a week more in the hospital and then he can go home." Scalpel said.

"That is great news." Prowl said and X-brawn agreed. They would be happy once this nightmare is over.

"At the end of his stay Sideburn is going to see the body work repair artist. He will pound out Sideburn's dents. Scrape of his out his scratches. Then give him a fresh new paint job." Medicare said.

"I like that," Sideburn said. X-brawn and Prowl knew he would.

Optimus and Ultra Magnus came in. "How are you feeling?" Ultra Magnus said.

"A lot better thanks." Sideburn said.

"Yep he's made a remarkable recovery so far. His two month recovery will be up in a week. When we see him next will be for his physical therapy. After four months of that he'll be as good as new." Scalpel said.

"Will I be able to do the things I like to do? Such driving with brothers and my girlfriend?" Sideburn asked.

Medicare frowned. "Sideburn it's true you're almost all better but you need physical therapy before you can go out and do the things you like do. And you've been in bed for nearly 2 months you'll be surprised how quickly you'll tire out." Medicare said.

"Oh okay," Sideburn said. His brothers could tell he was disappointed. But they knew once the physical therapy was over with Sideburn will be ready to roll.

"After the Physical therapy I want to give Sideburn a check up to make sure everything is okay after that." Scalpel said.

"Thank you," X-brawn said.

The trail with Ripcord went fine. Sideburn was still at the hospital. X-brawn wanted to try to even out the score but Prowl held him back he was angry too. Ripcord was found guilty of all charges and was sent to the the prison on Cybertron and will stay there for a long time and was going into a mental hospital afterwards.

The day had come Sideburn was going home. The reporters have left and Sideburn made back home safely. Sideburn fell asleep after arriving home. Medicare told them that might happen.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 okay Sideburn that will due." Strengthen said. He was the medic in charge of Sideburn's physical therapy today was his last day of the physical therapy. Sideburn just finished the last exercise. "Good job Sideburn, you're now officially done with the physical therapy." Strengthen said.

Sideburn's check up went well. He was ready to go on missions.

But his brothers were really worried.
