Chapter22-growing up...
A few years had gone by and everything was perfect, Freefall and Sideswipe were bonded a few weeks after the birth of Nighthawk and Sunstreaker had asked Starshine to bond with him... they were bonded a few days after (XD). The triplets were officially the new hooligans in the base, whereas Nighthawk and Steelshock (Ironhides kid) were basically always in the shooting range... or terrorizing Sideswipe or Ironhide...
"Are you sure about this?" Trailblazer asked unsurely, the triplets had set up a prank and targeted Mr Logic...
"For primus sake stop being a wuss! All you have to do is pull the fraggin cord!" Neon stressed, already at the age of six... she'd learned some very bad words, mostly from Ironhide, whom then got one hard smack in the gob off Starshine for it.
"...Fine," he grumbled and got into position, "when do I pull it?" he asked and heavy footfalls alerted them
"In three...two...one... PULL!" Starlight instructed and he did so as a loud 'ARGH!' was heard. Just then three heads poked out from the corner then shot back behind it with wide optics.
"We...got...Optimus!" Neon panicked and a loud booming voice yelled
"TRIPLETS!!!!!!" Optimus yelled in anger as he was now officially covered from heat to foot with bright hot pink paint from their fathers' art supplies. "OFFICE, NOW!" he bellowed and the three sulking figures made their way to his office. Starshine and Sunstreaker had been contacted by Optimus and were instructed to head to his office right away, when they got there Sunstreaker made Starshine go in first... just in case.
"What have they-" and she cut off there as she stared wide-eyed and jaw dropped at the now pink Autobot Commander "...Fashion statement or not sir, Pink is just not your colour," she laughed and he growled as Sunstreaker peeked in then burst out laughing
"Wow! You three went far and beyond!" he cheered and Blazer grinned "you did something not even me and Sides did... pranked the boss," he laughed and low fived his son.
"Don't encourage them Sunstreaker!" Optimus bellowed
"Why not?" he asked confused
"... Just get out of here," he growled and the five shot out the door laughing all the way.
(12 years after)
Neon was on monitoring duty; she turned around after hearing a voice wen lo and behold the mech she'd harboured a crush on since she was a sparkling came strolling through the doors,
"Hi Neon," he smiled
"H-hi Hotrod," she smiled and he looked her over, when he'd last seen her she'd been only around 10 earthen years old. He winked and smirked
"Lookin good Neon," he grinned and she unknowingly sighed dreamily. Unfortunately for her... he heard it loud and clear...
"Hmm, interesting," he mumbled smirking
"What?" she asked and he raised an optic ridge and grinned "I didn't..." she spoke "...did I?" she asked fearfully
"You did," he spoke slyly "so that crush is still present then?" he asked casually
"Shut up," she rolled her optics
"How's life been?" he asked grinning and she went back to monitoring duty
"Fine, dads still over protective," she sighed and he grinned
"Is that so?" he asked slyly
"Yes it is so," she responded with equal slyness
"Now what would he have to be protective about?" he asked and she smirked and turned to face him
"Naughty little mechs that think they can take advantage of the youngest triplet," she spoke in a sultry voice as she ran her neon blue hands up his chest earning a small moan.
"And what if you take advantage of these naughty little mechs?" he asked as he was backed up against the wall
"My bad," she smirked
"And what about your dad?" he asked and cupped her cheek
"I couldn't care less," she spoke darkly then captured his lips hungrily. Outside the office two pairs of Optics spied on the two inside.
"Blazer...go get dad," Starlight smirked "payback lil sis," she mumbled as Blazer went to get the yellow warrior. A few moments later Sunstreaker arrived with Trailblazer.
"What's wrong?" he asked and Starlight pointed to the room, he frowned then opened the door and saw something he never expected to see... Neon was straddling Hotrods waist atop of the desk, Hotrod had his hands placed securely on her aft as she kissed him passionately.
"...EHEM!" Sunstreaker growled and they both jumped and looked up
"Oooh busted," Neon bit her lip
"Next time... we lock the door." Hotrod mumbled
"You up" he spoke to Neon who jumped off of the mech quickly, "Hotrod; corridor NOW!" Sunny ordered and Hotrod gulped and walked out into the hallway as the doors closed leaving the triplets inside.
"Why'd you tell?!" Neon fumed
"You spied on me and told on me... so... payback," Starlight responded simply
"He's gonna be killed for that!!" she exclaimed
"It's his own fault," she responded
"I STARTED IT!" Neon yelled
"Looks like you were enjoying it too," she replied dryly
"As a matter of fact, yes I was," she growled in response. Out in the hallway...
"SHE'S A LOT YOUNGER THAN YOU!" Sunny yelled angrily
"I know, Sunstreaker." He sighed, he was still a young mech, but she was still much younger.
"Then what the frag were you thinking?!" he demanded
"She kissed me," he shrugged
"And you couldn't of just pushed her away?" he asked
"I didn't want to," and Sunny sighed
"Seeing as how Starshine won't let me ban you from seeing my daughter, i'm willing to be lenient. You can see her, date her whatever, but anything more and your aft is mine understood?" he asked and Hotrod blinked in surprise
"What do you mean by 'more'?" he asked
"Interfacing," He replied and Hotrod mouthed an 'oh'
"If she tries anything of the sort... I will push her away," he replied and Sunny nodded
"And remember, a parent knows when their child has done 'that', if I sense it, your dead metal," he growled and Hotrod nodded understanding. Inside the office Neon was panicking
"Dads gonna offline him!" she exclaimed and Starlight shook her head
"I highly doubt it; he wouldn't offline a guy just for gettin up close and personal with ya... Oh wait...yeah he would," she smirked and Blazer frowned
"Stop bein evil sis, she really likes him," he defended and Neon smiled at him as Starlight rolled her optics, apparently she gained Sunstreakers attitude... a few moments later Hotrod walked in with Sunny behind him.
"Hotrod?" she asked fearfully
"All here," he winked and she smiled dreamily then glanced at her dad who smiled and nodded, Starlight had wide-optics and her jaw dropped, 'blazer smirked at her smugly as Neon just grinned
"Yay!" she cheered and glomped Hotrod, Sunstreaker shifted his head to the side quickly as to say 'move it or loose it,' to the other two triplets, whom got the message and shot out of the office. "So, you're actually allowing this?" she asked to her dad who smiled and nodded
"I'm sure Hotrod won't hurt you," he spoke
"I wouldn't harm any Femme, especially when you're her father," Hotrod gulped and Sunny chuckled and shook his head humorously.
"Exactly," He smiled and walked out leaving to two alone
"Soo, how long have you had this crush for?" Hotrod asked smirking
"Erm... that time when I wanted you to pick me up, that's when I got it." She grinned
"Wow...that's a long time," he frowned and she tilted her head to the side in confusion
"Something wrong?" she asked and he smiled and cupped her cheek
"Nothing at all," he grinned and kissed her.
Few days later Optimus received a comm link from a fellow Autobot landing in a few hours that left him almost as frantic as when the twins arrived.
Nobody had been briefed on who it was, but Prowl, Bumblebee and Starlight had been assigned to go and greet the mech. When they arrived the atmospheric entry form was already visible. Starlight remained in alt mode just sat there under a tree for shade. The metal comet came crashing down into the ground a few moments later covering Prowl and Bee in dirt as Starlight laughed silently. The comet slowly transformed as he took the alt mode of a dark blue and white dodge viper with bright yellow tinted lights.
"Oh no..." Prowl groaned
"HEY BRO, WASSUP!?" a young male voice laughed as the car transformed
"What are you doing here?" Prowl asked sadly
"Aww ya know ya missed me," he grinned
"Who's this?" Bee asked confused
"My worst nightmare... my little brother Sideburn," Prowl moaned
"Little brother eh?" a voice asked and they turned round to see the red Lamborghini Reventon drive into the sunlight
"Hello!" Sideburn gawked
"Starlight... I'd drive... now," Prowl sighed
"Why?" she asked
"Red sports car... that talks," he grinned
"Starlight, meet Sideburn, Sideburn, meet Starlight." Prowl introduced and Starlight transformed into her drool-worthy bi-pedal form
"Hey," she smiled
"Hey hot stuff," he winked and she chuckled
"Father's Sunstreaker," Bee spoke in a sing-song voice
"... Hello Starlight it's a pleasure to meet you," he laughed nervously and she giggled
"That's better," Prowl smirked
"She's the oldest of the triplets, Neon, Trailblazer and her," Bee explained
"She's also the only Femme that's a red sports car," Prowl laughed
"Rub it in why don'cha," Sideburn growled as Starlight winked and laughed
"So where's X-brawn?" Prowl asked
"Be damned if I knew, last I saw of him... he was fighting those stupid predacons on that stupid dwarf ice ball Pluto," he sighed "I was tryin to help... but he told me to get to earth." He explained
"Let's get back to the base, Optimus will be wondering where we are, and I was meant to help 'blazer with the security cams," Starlight spoke then transformed and sped off with Bumblebee in pursuit
"So is she really the insane assassins' kid?" Sideburn asked worriedly
"Yes she is," Prowl smirked
"Who'd have triplets with him?" he asked confused
"A femme by the name of Starshine, she assists Ratchet in the med-bay."
"Ah, is she bonkers or something?" he asked
"Actually she's a mechanic. Starscream turned her into a Cybertronian a long time ago... she was a human by the name of Jackie Craft." He explained
"Info overload," Sideburn groaned and held his head dramatically as Prowl sighed, transformed then drove off. Sideburn laughed and transformed then followed his brother back to the Autobot base. When they arrived Sunstreaker frowned remembering the boy and his fetish with red sports cars.
"Optimus," Sideburn grinned at the leader
"Hello Sideburn," Optimus sighed
"Has anyone seen Starlight?" Sunstreaker asked and Sideburn grinned dreamily "stay away form my daughter Sideburn," he warned
"Yes sir" he spoke quickly
"She said she was helping Trailblazer with the security cameras," Prowl sighed then realized "they're planning something," he groaned
"Most likely, now... furthermore, has anyone seen Neon?" he asked worriedly
"She was in the lounge with Hotrod," Optimus answered shrugging and he nodded then sped off.
"What's his problem?" Sideburn asked
"Neon and Hotrod are...involved, he's just protective of his youngest daughter," Prowl explained "so that most probably means, stay away from his oldest daughter... and be careful, she gained her mothers flirting streak," Prowl chuckled then walked off to his office.
"Now report to Ratchet for a check up." Optimus orders and he nodded
"So...where's the med-bay?" he asked confused and Optimus sighed then showed him around. When they reached the med bay Sideswipe ran out with a wrench flying after him.
"STAY OUT OF MY MED-BAY YOU GLITCH!" Ratchet yelled after him as Sides laughed his aft off then noticed the freaked out Sideburn
"Hey Sides 2," he grinned
"Hey Sides 1," Sideburn laughed "is he still insane?" he asked
"More than ever," Sides grinned "Freefall told me to head straight back so, gotta run," he smiled
"Who's Freefall?" he asked
"His bond-mate," Optimus answered
"And mummy to my kid," he grinned
"You have a kid too?" Sideburn asked
"Sure, her names Nighthawk," Sides shrugged
"Colour?" he asked
"NOT Red put it that way," Sides chuckled "she's lilac, but like that matters. She should be in the lounge somewhere..." he shrugged "well, I gotta go," he smirked then shot off.
"He's definitely how I remember," Sideburn grinned and Optimus pointed to the med-bay doors as if to say 'check up, NOW' "ok-ok i'm going," he laughed and walked in cautiously to bump into Starshine stepping on her foot in the process...
"Ouch," she yelped as she dropped the data-pad on the floor and held her foot.
"Sorry," he spoke sheepishly and she looked up and smiled
"Not seen you around, what's ya name?" she asked as she picked the pad up
"Sideburn, i'm Prowls younger brother," he grinned
"Ah. Ratchet is next door at the moment, he's getting some supplies. Maybe I can help, now what's wrong?" she asked kindly
"Optimus told me to get a check-up since I just landed," he grinned and she smiled
"I can help," she grinned and led him to the medical table, he sat down and she turned on her scanners,
"So, what's your name?" he asked
"Starshine, just call me Star," she smiled
"YOU'RE Starlight's mother?" he asked shocked
"Ahh you met her then?" she chuckled and he nodded
"She's red..." he grinned
"Ahh, I've heard about you; addicted to red sports cars right?" she laughed and he grinned
"Love the red," he smirked
"Well I'd suggest you steer clear of Starlight, Sunny just got over Neon and Hotrods relationship." She smiled and Trailblazer ran in
"Mum! Steelshock's after me!" he exclaimed and hid behind her
"Sideburn, meet Trailblazer; the youngest of the hooligan triplets," Star grinned
"Hi," 'Blazer spoke quickly
"So Neon's the middle child then?" he asked
"Unfortunately yep," a voice sighed and they turned around to see Neon walking in with Hotrod, whom had a dent in his head.
"What happened to him?" Starshine asked confused
"Dad saw us kissing, so he hit Hotrod in the head," she shrugged
"I'll talk to him," she sighed and Ratchet walked in
"What happened?" he asked dryly
"Sunny hit Hotrod for snoggin Neon and Sideburn is in for a check-up... I think," Trailblazer explained and Ratchet nodded
"Ah...wait... SIDEBURN!?" he cried
"Hehe, I see you know him." Star laughed
"He's in the med-bay more than the damn twins because of his immature and stupid ideas," he sighed and Sideburn laughed nervously.
"He has one smoking alt mode though," a female voice laughed, they turned around to see Starlight leaning on the door frame "he's in here Steelshock!" she yelled and a big black mech walked through with a dangerous glint in his optics
"AHH!" Trailblazer yelped as twin shockwave cannons pointed at his head
"PUT THE CANNON DOWN OR I DISMANTLE IT!" Starshine snarled angrily, nobody pointed a cannon at her son and got away with it. Steelshock gulped and lowered the guns.
"He painted my dad yellow!" he growled
"Well then let Ironhide take it up with me, I'll see if he's so brave then," she growled and Steelshock backed up as Nighthawk ran in
"Is it getting crowded or is that just me?" Neon asked
"Oh shush cuz, is saw Steel chasin Blazer, I wanted ta see the big fight," she grinned
"Well i'm sorry Nighthawk but there will be no fight today, or any other day; do I make myself clear?!" Starshine asked with authority
"Yes ma'am." She spoke quickly as Sideburn stared at Starlight
"It's too bad," he sighed
"What is?" Starshine asked
"That she's Sunstreakers kid," he spoke and Starlight grinned
"Aww the poor widdle mech has a crush," she teased
"He loves red sports cars," Ratchet sighed and Starlight grinned then winked at him and walked out swaying her hips seductively, if he could, Sideburn would have been drooling...
"It's official, she's got ya," Trailblazer laughed
"She gets the flirting streak from me, it's a fun thing," Star grinned "well, you're all fit and healthy, now go on, i'm sure you can find something to do." She smiled and he jumped off the table and sped out the room. He found Starlight in the sparing room with an energon shake. He lent on the door smirking.
"Can I help you?" she asked suddenly, shocking him since she was faced away from him.
"Erm..." he spoke
"Robo-cat got ya glossa?" she smirked as she turned to face him
"How'd you know I was here?" he asked
"Well for one, there was only one bot in here until you came in, also I sensed ya energy sig," she grinned "wanna spar?" she asked smiling and he thought for a moment then grinned 'one way to get her on her back' he smirked
"Sure," he smiled and walked over. They both got into a fighting position, Starlight smirked 'I should have told him I've never been beaten... but oh well' she thought to herself and the fight began. A few minutes after she was back down on the floor under him; both panting.
"Wow, nobody's beat me before," she smirked as he grinned charmingly
"Things change," he smirked and she pulled him against her
"Hmm, yes they do," she smirked and he moaned slightly as her talented hands rubbed a few rather sensitive wires beneath his blue armour. Being provoked; as he was, he immediately gave in and kissed her passionately then moved his hands over and between her armour making her gasp and moan. Unfortunately...
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?" A rather pissed off voice yelled, they both looked up to see Sunstreaker, with a VERY annoyed look and Neon smirking at them from behind him.
"Busted," Neon spoke smugly
"I warned you Sideburn," Sunny growled
"We were just sparing," Starlight spoke quickly
"Sparing eh? Don't make me laugh," Neon spoke "more like on the verge of interfacing," she spoke inspecting her cat-like finger nails.
"Oooh i'm gonna get you back Neon," she growled
"Starlight, room, NOW!" Sunny ordered and she slipped out from beneath the blue mech and was out the room before anyone could say 'busted',
"What's going on?" Starshine asked her daughter as she bumped into her
"Dad's gonna kill Sideburn," she sighed
"Why?!" Star asked shocked
"Neon was spying on me and Sideburn sparing and it got... ehem, adult rated... Dad walked in before anything happened..." she explained and Starshine sighed and walked into the sparing room where Sunstreaker loomed over the scared mech.
"Leave him alone babes," Star sighed and put a hand on his shoulder
"You didn't see what he was doing," he growled
"I heard, still not a reason to kill him... in all fairness, our kids need to grow up. You let Hotrod stay with Neon, why not let them two?" she asked and he frowned
"I don't wanna be a grandfather so soon," he responded and Sideburn frowned
"Like I'd have a kid," Sideburn spoke
"Anythin could happen," Sunny growled
"Just let them Sunstreaker," Starshine sighed
"Fine, but i'm not babysitting if that happens," he sighed
"Wait... so does that mean I can do that with Hotrod?" Neon asked hopefully
"I really don't feel comfortable talking about this," Sunstreaker sighed and Starshine smirked
"Of course you can Neon," she grinned as Sunny frowned "oh come on Sunny she's 19 in three days!" she spoke with an annoyed tone as Neon gave him the cutest puppy dog optics ever,
"Ugh! On her nineteenth birthday, fine, but not yet," he sighed and she cheered and glomped her dad then shot off to find her main mech. "get out of here Sideburn, and it's the same for Starlight, at nineteen, then I can't stop her; she's of age. Now get lost," he growled and Sideburn was out the door before he could say anything more.
Three days had gone by and they were celebrating the triplets' birthdays, Neon was well... playing flirt with Hotrod whilst Sideburn just oogled Starlight whilst Trailblazer just flirted with multiple femmes.
"Don't you just love parties?" Neon asked slyly as she ran her hands up Hotrods chest as Sunny tried his hardest not to shoot him as Starshine had promised something fun if he left them alone...
"You know...we're not allowed," he strained as her hands rubbed a few sensitive spots under his armour
"Hmm, is that so?" she smirked knowing her dad had said they could... but she didn't tell him that; just to see how long he lasted.
"You... need to stop... that." He groaned and she smirked and pulled him out the room,
"Am I being a bad little girl?" she spoke seductively as she pressed him against the wall
"Uh huh..." he gulped and she nipped at his neck earning another groan as she smirked.
"Are you going to punish me for my naughty behaviour?" she asked slyly and he growled and switched their positions as she grinned up at him,
"No, I was told not to give in..." he sighed and she groaned in dissatisfaction
"You're really gonna follow that aren't you?" she asked dryly and he nodded with an apologetic look across his faceplates "my dad said I could do whatever I wanted on my nineteenth birthday," she sighed
"You serious?" he asked and she nodded
"I didn't tell you cause I wanted to see how long you lasted," she winked
"How do I know your not just trying to get me to give into your naughty behaviour?" he smirked and she shrugged and played back what her dad had said. "Hmm, in that case," he grinned and kissed her hungrily as he mimicked the actions she used on him then pushed her into his room then locked the door.
Starlight had decided she wanted to finish what her and Sideburn started and rather quickly ended up in her quarters in a heated game of 'tonsil hockey' (if they had tonsils). She just touched his spark casing once and he let out a growl as she grinned slyly.
Trailblazer was just plain lovin his night, final.
Neon awoke with two strong arms wrapped around her thin waist; she turned around slowly and snuggled up to his chest with a soft smile on her face. As she did his optics turned on slowly as he grinned down at her charmingly.
"Morning babes," he winked and she giggled
"Mornin," she smiled and he cupped her chin and kissed her softly
"Mmm, never thought I'd be recharging next to you," he smirked
"You're just lucky I guess," she winked as he chuckled and hugged her closer
"Extremely lucky," he smiled and kissed her forehead making her giggle.
Trailblazer... well... put it this way, he had two sets of arms across his chest as he grinned down at the TWO Femmes on either side of him, both recharging with smiles on their faces, oh yeah... he was Sunstreakers kid alright.
Sideburn just grinned down at the recharging red Lamborghini Femme. It was about time he had some fun with a red sports car. His grin turned into a small smile as she sighed and snuggled up to his chest.
"Staarrrliight?" he called quietly and she groaned as her optics slowly came online
"Morning," she smiled
"Good morning," he smirked and she reached up and kissed him passionately "what was that for?" he asked grinning
"For the best half an hour of my life," she winked and he chuckled
"My pleasure," he winked making her laugh.
Starshine however was still recharging after four hours of complete bliss. Sunstreaker was sat in a chair next to the berth smirking as he randomly sketched what he saw, obviously... it came out more detailed and almost perfect, just like he saw her. A small lock of shimmering synthetic blue hair fell over her dimmed lilac optics, a dim light bounced off of her armour making her shimmer. He smiled and brushed the stray hair away from her face then continued drawing his beautiful bond-mate as she slept peacefully. He knew one thing, life... just couldn't get any better than that.
