Sadly the first part was better than this, but oh well...

Sunstreaker isn't sulking at all. He's quite happy. Alone. By himself.

And why do the cartoon dinobots talk like they do. My head hurts now.


Sunstreaker would have been happy to forget the whole thing. Sure he'd possibly been somewhat nice toward the dinobot, little as he'd actually meant it. And that was it, the dinobot had helped him in turn and that meant they were even. That's how those kinds of things worked, right?So why was it that it didn't work out quite like that? Sunstreaker had been quite content in sitting alone in the common room, ignoring everyone. Now he might have chosen a better place than the common room, if he wanted to be alone, but he'd just argued with his brother and their quarters didn't seem like the best of ideas and besides it wasn't like anyone was going to bother him, was it? It wasn't like any of them gave a slag about what he was up to and he was quite happy about that, thank you very much. So there he'd been, alone, in the common room, quite happy, when Swoop walks up to looked up at the pteranodon with a look that quite clearly told everyone to back off and leave him alone. Even the dinobots should have understood that one. But the avian autobot didn't back off, even if he did look a bit without a sound leaving his vocal processor the dinobot sat down on the floor at Sunstreaker's feet, pulled up his knees and turned his optics up towards Sunstreaker.

Sunstreaker supposed that wasn't exactly disturbing him, so he let the dinobot did get an odd look or two, but then Sunstreaker didn't care what all of those fraggers thought anyway. It wasn't as if he wasn't used to odd looks and more. He could have left of course, but that would have meant he was giving up and no fragging dinobot was going to unnerve him enough for that. Fit that into your processors, he thought and continued sitting had been some time before Swoop actually did start speaking, the Lamborghini had almost expected the pteranodon to just stay quiet and sit there until Sunstreaker left, but maybe the dinobot got bored. He knew he was. Stupid glitch of a twin."Us dinobots fight with other dinobots all the time," the pteranodon said slowly. Well, sure, that wasn't exactly news. It wasn't like you could avoid noticing the fraggers when they really got at it. "Slag always fight, him like fighting." Right, and the other dinobots didn't? "Him Snarl not care. Him Snarl not care about anything. Sludge..." Swoop dimmed his optics a bit. "Everyone think Sludge stupid. And him Grimlock," the dinobot seemed to hesitate a bit as if he didn't quite know how to describe his leader. "Him Grimlock leader, but him Grimlock sometimes think him too good." Well that was one way of putting it

And where exactly was this whole thing going anyway? Of course Sunstreaker wasn't about to say anything, because he wasn't actually interested. He just didn't have much else to do at the moment."Autobots think we dinobots stupid. Think we dinobots only like fighting. Them wrong. Me Swoop like lots of other things, but me Swoop like fighting too," the grin on his faceplates seemed slightly vicious. "So me Swoop fight Decepticons, but me Swoop fight with dinobots too. It not the same. Me Swoop know that dinobots brothers. Dinobots fight with dinobots and sometimes fighting a bit too much, but me Swoop know that brothers always help if me Swoop get in trouble." And when did Swoop start making speeches this long anyway? Listening to that would make anyone's processors hurt. It still wasn't as bad as one of Prowl's speeches wasn't like he was all that interested in the inner dynamics of the dinobots (though he supposed it was surprising to find out that they seemed to actually be closer than anyone thought, because from the looks of it the only reason Grimlock managed to stay on top of them was because he was strong enough to beat the other dinobots. So maybe there was a bit more to it than that.) But the point of the story wasn't that hard to understand and that was surprising. He hadn't actually expected the dinobot to realise that he'd been fighting with Sideswipe. Nothing unusual in that really, they did get into arguments a lot of the he might actually feel a bit better after hearing that little story from the dinobot. For some reason the glitch actually seemed to care. That still didn't mean Sunstreaker actually felt like saying anything.
