The Ring Of A Bell

Another Day

Alright, new chapter time. Hasbro owns Transformers I don't! Ok? Ok.

Waking up was the worst time of the day. I did not wake up on my shoulder soft berth that I called home to my aching joints after a long day after battling the Decepticons. I woke up in a crib for Primus sake! Of course I would wake up in a crib! I was a sparkling and a newborn from what Ratchet had said. It was very embarrassing. I sighed and started trying I get out of the thick thermal blanket that covered 90% of my body. After a few minutes and with success with getting out of the blanket, I was was trying to get back up on my own two peds. I first got on my hands and knees in what looked like a crawling position, which was harder than I thought it would be. I wobbled, rocking back and forth on my hands and knees trying to get my balance right. After a good five minutes, I finally got balanced and with one step forward... BUMP! I face planted in the side of the crib. Shocked for a minute and not realizing what had just happened, I layed there. My forhelm started to hurt worse for every second that went by as I came back into reality from my shock. I felt some sort of lubricant falling from my optics and I realized that I was crying. Right now I wanted to cry so badly, but I had to resist my sparkling instincts. That didn't last long. I bawled and screamed in pain, much to my embarrassment. Crying and screaming to the top of my vents I heard rushed footsteps coming from someone running up the hallway outside of the room. For some reason I had not paid much attention to the room that I awoke in. The door came open and  the mech or femme rushed in and came over to see why I was brawling. I felt a gentle servo cradle the back of my helm and another cradle my back as they lifted me up to let me rest on there chest. "Shhh, please don't cry Sides. It's okay. Your okay." The mech that was holding me said while rocking me. I suddenly felt a wave a comfort rush over me. After a few minutes of crying for no reason I opened my optics and there in my blurry vision was Sunstreaker. He was smiling at me with love and comfort going through our bond that soothed my cries. "That's it Sides. It's okay." He said soothingly as he rocked me side to side. This for some reason made me feel a little uncomfortable and that reason was because he never was this nice to me. I mean like NEVER. I just pushed that thought down into the pits. After crying made me tired. So... tired.... It was getting hard to keep my optics to stay open any longer. I snuggled into my brothers chest and let out a strange trilling noise of happiness. Now I let my sparkling side take over and fell into recharge.

Sunstreaker looked down at his newborn brother in his arms. The little sparkling was snuggled up in his chest and making cute purring noises as he slept. Sunstreaker smiled at the cute scene before him. He grabbed the blanket out of the crib and swaddled him up in it to keep Sideswipe warm during he rest of the night. He gently set Sideswipe back down into the little crib that was set in their berth room. Sunstreaker sighed as he watch Sideswipe sleep in the crib. "Man, how are we gonna fix this bro? I really wish you could understand me. Your side of the bond seems so empty and fragile and it so uncomfortable. I hope Wheejack and Perceptor figure out how to fix this." Sunstreaker said in despair while he started walking out the doors of their berth room to see how Wheeljack and Perceptor were coming along. He walked down the hallways that led to the lab. It was so quiet. Without Sideswipe's constant, annoying voice in his audio's twenty-four seven it was to quiet. It was like that the walls in the hallway closed on him. He just pushed that down and went on his way to he lab. Getting to the lab was the easy part, but getting in was the hard part. Sunstreaker opened the door and as soon as he did the a big puff of smoke came blowing in his face. "Sorry Sunstreaker. A failed experiment." Sunstreaker coughed a couple of times then walked in the room. "Sure "cough" I could tell." He said as he sat down on a bench while rubbing the black, ashy smoke out of his optics. Sunstreaker looked up to see Perceptor and Wheeljack trying to put out fire. "Get the fire extinguisher!" Wheeljack screamed in a panicked tone. "As you can see Wheeljack I am TRYING!" Perceptor said in a panicked tone rushing to find the fire extinguisher that laid somewhere in the room. When Perceptor found the fire extinguisher, he rushed over to the fire and sprayed it all over the fire, putting it out for good. Sunstreaker just stared for a second at the hilarious scene that was set before his optics. Wheeljack was panting and was covered in black ashes from the fire and Perceptor was cover in fire extinguisher foam while on the floor in shock. Sunstreaker try to sustain his laughter, but that didn't last very long. "HAHA!" He laughed at the top of his vents, rolling on the floor trying to make himself stop laughing. Perceptor and Wheeljack just stared at Sunstreaker, thinking what was so funny. "Ohh this is great! You guys can't even go thirty minutes without lighting something on fire." Sunstreaker said, still laughing hard on the ground. "Well how about you try to find the cure for Sideswipe and see how that goes." Perceptor said as he came over to Sunstreaker, giving a servo out to help the gladiator off the ground. That immediately shut Sunstreaker up. "Oh no you get that dirty servo away from me. It will mess my paint up." He said backing away from Perceptor's servo. "What ever you say, Sunstreaker." Perceptor said, taking back his servo and walking back to the mess that they called an experiment. "Another test failed, Wheeljack." Perceptor said to Wheeljack while helping the black ashes covered mech off of the ground. "Well... you can't get them all right the first time." Wheeljack said as he looked over the black mess on the work table. "I just don't know what went wrong." He picked up the glass tube that was nothing more than shattered glass now. Sunstreaker had been listening to the whole conversation and was tired of all of the science talk. "Enough with the science talk that I don't understand and tell me how it is coming along." Sunstreaker said, desperate for an answer. Perceptor and Wheeljack had a look on their faces that pretty much answers his questions. "Umm... well Sunstreaker I don't think it's going very well as you can see." Perceptor said as he motioned to the black mess on the work bench. "We will find a cure, but it is going to take awhile, so you must be patient Sunstreaker." Sunstreaker just nodded and left the room with no emotion in his face. He walked down the empty halls of the Ark. The silence was never a good thing for Sunstreaker. Right then, as he got to his and Sideswipe's berth room he heard Sideswipe crying again.
