Text: " = Conversation, including that of the sparklings who are the only ones who can understand each other. To everyone else they are babbling.
S.S.B: "Text" Sparklings talking out loud in unison.
Warning: Sparklings will be heard time to time in this chapter by the bots. it will be acknowledged when its heard though.
Normal pov
A week at N.E.S.T had passed and the sparklings had loved every moment of it. They had began to cause the usual sparkling mischief, like running around the base and hiding under chairs only to grab the mech or femme's ankle when they got up. Nothing bad happened, no patrol, no reports, no training. Nothing but warm hugs and cuddles for them. The sparklings were so happy with themselves that they had began to forget what it was like to be grown mechs, that is until the morons who had caused it were released from the brig. Skids and Mudflap as the final part of their punishment were to take care of Sunny, Sides, and Bee for the time being until the commanding officers (or any other competent mech or femme) were finished with their assigned tasks for the day. Skids and Mudflap were less than thrilled, that is until they thought of a little payback.
Skids: "Awe, look bro. They're so tiny!"
Mudflap: "An helpless!"
Bee: "Go way!"
Sunny: "Ugly!"
Sides: "Stupid!"
They all said before giving their caregivers a raspberry.
Skids: "Now now! Tha wasn very nice!"
Mudflap: "Ah think tha they need ta be punished for bein naughty."
Skids: "Yer right. C'mere sunshine."
Sunny: "GRRRRRRRR!"
Skids: "Ooo! Some bot's cranky! Lemme fix that."
He said as he began to mercilessly tickle Sunstreaker's tummy. Sunstreaker tried in vain not to laugh but lost the battle, and began to giggle. While Skids tickled Sunstreaker, Mudflap kept himself busy making Bumblebee and Sideswipe laugh. He was switching between tickling their peedes and their arm joints, making them squeal out in laughter. The two kept this up for minutes on end and weren't planning on stopping anytime soon when...
Skids: "OH HELL NAW! That's nasty!"
Mudflap turned to see his brother holding Sunstreaker away from his chassis. Sunstreaker (who was now now growling angrily) had wet himself from being made to laugh too hard. Realizing that the other sparklings could easily do the same, Mudflap stopped his tickle torture. Skids had put Sunstreaker down on his back, staring disgustedly at him.
Mudflap: "Uh...I think he needs a change."
Skids: "No way am I doin it! You do it!"
Mudflap: "Nuh uh! It was yo fault! You do it!"
Skids: "NO YOU!"
Mudflap: "IT WAS YO FRAGGIN IDEA THA GOT US HERE! YOU DO IT GLITCH HEAD!"
He shouted getting up from where he was kneeling.
Skids: "YOU THA GLITCH HEAD! YOU PULLED THA TRIGGER!"
He yelled pushing his twin. The two soon were flailing around on the ground, throwing punches and insults alike. Sideswipe and Bee watched them brawl, betting on who would knock who out first. Sunstreaker however was tired of being ignored.
Sunny: "WILL YOU TWO MORONS QUIT FIGHTING AND CHANGE ME ALREADY?!"
The two stopped, staring at the toddler with wide optics. Sunstreaker simply glared back at the two before rolling his optics.
Skids: "Uh...Mudflap..?"
Mudflap: "Yeah?"
Skids: "Did he jus-"
Sunny: "YES! FOR THE LOVE OF CYBERTRON...CHANGE ME!"
Mudflap: "No way! You...you..."
Sides: "Have our adult processors. Of which you will mention to no one. We like being spoiled, and we don't want that to stop."
Bee nodded his helm in agreement. They were quite comfortable with their predicament. Everyone spoiled them rusted, Optimus included. All they had to do was whine and someone would instantly try to comfort them in any way they could, hugs, toys, sweetened energon, if they wanted it they got it.
Skids: "We are so tellin!"
Mudflap: "Yeah!"
Sunny: "Like they'd believe you! As far as they can tell, all we can do is say small words. Now change me!"
Skids: "This is so wrong."
Sunny: "Just shut up and do it."
He sneered. The twins changed Sunstreaker, and kept their distance from the three. Meanwhile out in the hall, someone heard the whole conversation. Optimus Prime spun on his heel and promptly made his way to the main hangar, letting everyone (save for the Chevy twins) know on his way there that a mandatory meeting was to be held.
30 Minutes later
Ironhide: "I CAN'T BELIEVE THOSE AFT BLASTED, GLITCH HEADED FRAGGERS HAD THEIR ADULT PROCESSORS THE WHOLE SLAGGING TIME!"
Ratchet: "I Believe it. But I will say that I'm surprised at Bumblebee. He knows better!"
Wheeljack: "Well, if it's any consolation, I fixed the device used to create this problem. I can turn them back into grown mechs upon your orders sir."
Prowl: "Sir, what punishment would you suggest for such childish behavior?"
Prime: "None."
"WHAT?!"
Everyone shouted in disbelief.
Prime: "I do not blame them for acting childishly. Bumblebee was raised, and trained to go into war, even the twins were brought to us as younglings and suffered the same fate. They had every right to act childishly, for the simple reason that they never truly had a chance to enjoy their childhood."
Ironhide: "Prime, that still doesn't excuse-"
Prime: "Ironhide, how often did Bumblebee get to play with those of his own age? As soon as he could walk and speak, we raised him knowing that he would eventually join us on the battlefield. The twins were raised in the same fashion. To be honest, would any of us really want to go back to the harsh responsibilities of this war, when we were being taken care of, where we could not be responsible and get to play as much as we wished?"
Everyone looked down at their peedes and boots. He was right, if given the option, many would gladly play the day away if they could. But that didn't change the fact that they had a duty to themselves and as soldiers to end this war.
Prime: "Now, I do believe that we must teach them a lesson."
Will: "How are we going to do that big guy?"
Prime: "Simple, we remind them of the positive things that come with being grown mechs."
He said as he began to explain his plan to the others.
5 hours later
It was evening at N.E.S.T and the sparklings were enjoying their nightly ration of energon when suddenly...
Sam: "Aw NO WAY! The new Need for Speed!"
Leo: "Prepare to lose!"
He said as they picked up controllers and began to play. Sideswipe perked up at the sight of the game and immediately wanted to play. After all, no one on base was better at Need for Speed than him. He had a record and a reputation to uphold. He stretched his arms out to the console indicating that he wanted to play, only to be stopped by Ironhide.
Ironhide: "Sorry Siders, but you're too little to play."
Leo: "Yeah, and you'd probably drool all over the controllers."
Sideswipe pouted. He wanted to play so bad! Sunstreaker seeing his twin's unfortunate situation smiled and patted him on the shoulder. They could always play when they got big again...whenever that was.
At that moment Jazz walked into the rec room carrying a large crate of waxes and polishes. Sunstreaker's face lit up happily.
Sunny: "Mine!"
Jazz: "I know lil' buddy, but you're too young to use 'em. Where should I put 'em Hide?"
Ironhide: "Oh just put them in storage. Perhaps when Wheeljack finishes his device he can use them again."
Sam: "By the explosions I've heard, he doesn't sound close."
Mikaela: "Jazz, I'd toss those. No use in him using expired products in the future. Besides he can buy more when he goes back to normal."
Sunstreaker's face fell. He worked hard to get those waxes and polishes. The amount of races he had to win was astronomical! And those weren't just any waxes! Each product cost an upwards of 500 dollars the most expensive being 1000! He worked his aft off for those and Jazz was going to throw them away. He began to whimper unhappily as the Saboteur waltzed off with his treasure. Not to long after, Prowl and Prime walked up the hall, Prowl dragging the Chevy twins.
Prime: "And what pray tell made you glue all of Ratchet's tools to the ceiling?"
Skids: "Hey! We gotta step up!"
Mudflap: "Yeah! We gotta prove why we the kings o' pranks!"
He cheered as Prowl began to drag them to the brig. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were livid. Those two would never be the kings of pranks! Their pranks were far superior to the Chevy's.
Chromia: "You know, I'm not gonna lie...I kinda miss them in the battlefeild. The con's sure don't. Heck Skywarp nearly danced for joy when he saw that they werent with us last time."
Ironhide: "I kinda miss having high grade with them. Even though Prowl forbids it...they brew a pretty decent high grade."
The two began to whimper. They missed doing Jet Judo, and pranking their comrades. They definitely missed the flavor of high grade.
Mikaela: "Oh, shit! Sam we gotta leave soon."
Sam: "Huh?"
Leo: "(Sigh) She's right...today was our last day of spring break. We have a flight to catch."
Sam: "But what about Bee? I can't go back without him!"
Will: "It's okay. We can send you back with a military vehicle."
Prime: "Actually, Major Lennox, I have arranged for Sam to have a new guardian. Jolt is prepared to leave with you."
Sam: "No offense Optimus, but it won't be the same. Bee's my best friend."
Mikaela: "We can come visit him. And we'll call everyday. Right?"
Ironhide: "That would be fine. But unfortunately it is time for him to recharge. Say bye bye to Sam Bumblebee."
That was the straw that broke the retro camel's back. Bee began to bawl, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker following soon after. Prime cradled Bee, rocking him to calm him down, while Chromia and Ironhide did the same with Sunny and Sides.
Bee: "SAAAAAAAAMMMMMM! DON'T GOOOOO!"
Sides: "I WANNA BE BIG AGAIN! I MISS PLAYING VIDEO GAMES AND BEATING UP CONS!"
Sunny: "ME TOO! I WANNA JET JUDO STARSCREAM AND WAX AGAIN!"
Bee: "I DON'T WANT MY BEST FRIEND TO LEAVE! YOU'RE MY CHARGE!"
Sides: "WE'RE THE KINGS OF PRANKS! NOT THOSE OTHER IDIOTS!"
Sunny: "I MISS BEING A MECH!"
S.B: "ME TOO! ME TOOOOOOO!"
They wailed. Their caretakers smiled as they put them down. Prime un-subspaced the gun Wheeljack had altered and shot them, turning them back. The three looked at each other and began to calm down. They were grown mechs again!
Sides: "Wha? We're Mechs! We're grown mechs!"
Sunny: "Primus! I..we...THANK YOU! JAZZ!"
Jazz: "Relax, Nothing was thrown out."
Bee: "SAM!"
He yelled as he wrapped his charge in a hug.
Sam: "Bee...can't breathe...too tight!"
Bee: "Sorry!"
He apologized as he hugged him close gently. Prime cleared his throat, making the three former sparklings look at him.
Prime: "Is there anything that you would like to say?"
Ironhide: "Like why you made us suffer with your dirty diapers?"
Sideswipe smiled. They all did.
Sides: "Well for starters...thank you for taking care of us..."
Ironhide: "And?"
Sunny: "We had our adult processors the whole time, but we weren't able to control our bodily functions, or talk till the end of last week."
Prime: "That explains a lot. Anything else?"
Bee: "Sorry, for not telling you...and for being brats."
Will: "I think we all would have done the same if we were in your place."
Prime: "I agree. You three have been punished enough...what with having to be changed in front of or by everyone here. The embaresment alone is punishment enough. Not to forget to mention that you're training will be rather rigorous and no doubt a challenge, since you haven't done so for a while. But for now... you're dismissed."
Bee: "Thank you sir. I..appreciate your taking care of me and the twins."
Prime: "Consider it nothing, I'm sure you would do the same for anyone here. Now I believe you have a flight to catch."
He said with a warm smile. Bee smiled back, as he picked up his charges and walked off. He said his goodbyes as he boarded the plane, and they took off heading for Sam's college. As they flew back he warmed his interior, making sure that Sam, his friend, and his girlfriend were were some things about being a grown mech that made it worth it. Having a best friend, and being able to protect said best friend were at the top of his list.
The End
A/N: And there you have it. The mediocre end to my first stand alone fluff fic. I wont lie I'm sad that my plot bunny died, but at least I got 5 chapters out of him. Now I must move on and cultivate one story, write the beginnings of another and re-write one. I hope that all who reads this is well, and I hope that this short fic brought joy to your day. I wont blame if you don't, because you have every right to be mad at me...but if you absolutely want to...review and favorite the story. Thanks again guys for encouraging me to continue the story.
CLYL!
