Sideswipe walked in. I was trying so hard to stop Sunstreaker from crying. 'Hand him to me.' Sideswipe took his brother and sat down. The small mech stopped crying after some time and relaxed against his brother's chest. 'Ratchet told me there was a problem and told me to visit you... he just didn't tell me this was the problem,' Sideswipe said. 'Yeah, Ratchet will be here in a minute I think.' Sideswipe held his brother in his arms. 'What happened?'

I shrugged, 'I don't know, Sideswipe. He was all under a slime looking substance, took an hour to wash it off and ended up like this,' I sighed. The mech looked down at his baby brother. 'Please be good for him.' He looked me in the eyes again. 'I've always been good for him,' I said. I walked up to the front door and opened up for Ratchet, Prowl, Ironhide and Que. there fell a silence as they saw him. 'He's actually kinda cute, isn't he?' Que asked. Ironhide and Sideswipe shot him a glare.

Optimus walked up to Sideswipe and picked Sunstreaker up 'can you reverse what happened?' Sideswipe asked. 'I don't know.' Que took a look and Sunstreaker started crying again. As protective as Sideswipe was, he picked his brother up again and started to sooth and rock him. 'You need to take care of him Paige.' I glanced at Prime. 'I am not a mom. I don't know how to handle a baby.'

'You do, you're a femme,' Ratchet said. I glanced at Sideswipe. 'I'll help you,' he said. The others left and I was left with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. I sat on the couch with Sunny in my arms. His eyes are absolutely gorgeous. Bright ocean blue. I kissed his forehead. 'Hey Sides?' He hummed and looked at me. 'He uh... smells a little suspicious.' I handed him to his brother. 'Then you refresh him,' he said. 'Me?' I asked. 'Yes, you're holding him.'
'But he's your brother.'

'But you're a femme.'
'What's that supposed to mean?'
'Femmes love babies.'
'What's that supposed to do with this.'
'He's my brother, I am not going to...'

Sideswipe pointed at his twin. 'I am not going to wipe his butt clean,' he scowled and walked off. 'Sideswipe!' I shouted but he sprinted upstairs and slammed the door or his room shut. I rolled my eyes and walked upstairs, grabbing a few things Ratchet handed me prior. I removed his pants and sighed. 'You better don't remember anything of this,' I muttered as I cleaned him up.

Sideswipe was rather amused with me when I spotted him. 'Clean?' He asked. 'Next time it's your turn,' I warned. 'I go far but there's a limit,' he said and grabbed his brother. He laid down with Sunny on his chest. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around the both of them. 'Once in a lifetime moment. Make a photo,' Sideswipe said. I grabbed my phone and snapped a few photos. It was like Sunstreaker was completely aware of it. His bright blue eyes stared straight at me. 'I feel like he's going to murder me and he's a baby.'

Sideswipe poked him earning a grumpy reply. 'He's got an attitude,' he laughed. 'Perhaps his body has shrunken but his mind definitely hasn't. I sighed softly. Sunstreaker got restless and Sideswipe placed him back on the ground. The mech started crawling. I sat on the couch and he pulled me against him. We chatted softly until we heard a noise and Sunstreaker crawled back in the living room, with a knife. I got up and crouched down. 'Give that to me, Sunny.' I took it from me and he started screaming like I was abusing him.
'Sunny, Sunny... hey.'

He kept streaming and waving his fists. 'Okay, okay.' I handed him the knife back and he became quiet. 'Wow, that is just absolutely ridiculous. A baby with a knife.' Sunstreaker looked at his brother. His eyes pure evil and hatred. 'Fine, I am sorry,' Sideswipe muttered. 'Well I guess you were right. Sunshine.' The baby looked at me, angry. 'I don't know who we need to fix this but... we figure something out, alright.' The baby growled. 'This is freaky. Legit freaky. I've never seen such evil baby like him. He would frighten even the toughest mechs. I bet you can handle him your own,' Sideswipe said and got up.

'You're not going anywhere.' I grabbed his arm. 'Can't we kick him up?' He asked. 'No! No, we are not going to lock him up.' I picked Sunny up and he started screaming again. I grabbed the knife off the ground and handed it to him. Sunstreaker was not easy to handle. He looked so evil and angry all the time. Feeding time was tough, he didn't want to be fed. 'I am going to bathe him.'

I got up and took Sunny upstairs. He was glaring at me the entire time. 'I am trying to help you,' he started screaming so I backed off and raised my hands in peace. He looked unhappy. 'I am sorry, Sunstreaker.' He glanced at me. 'You are cute though.' He growled. I quickly raised my hands. I washed his hair under his protest before dressing him up and laying him in bed. He kept screaming in protest for four hours. Sideswipe and I both refused to get him. 'This is crazy,' Sideswipe muttered and rubbed his head. He's not the only one with a terrible headache. 'He's going to murder us both,' he added. I snorted, 'you think?!'

Sideswipe and I both went to bed. It shocked me to figure out Sideswipe had locked Sunstreaker in. Probably scared the mech would change back his original size and and age and that would make him a lot more dangerous than he is.
The next morning, I got Sunstreaker. His eyes were red. He used to be a cute baby but there's nothing cute about him. 'Let's give you all bath,' I mumbled. I nearly dropped him when he uttered a scream. With the little teeth he had, he tried to bite me. I seriously can't cooperate with this mech.
I had to ask Sideswipe to help me. Sunstreaker kept struggling and fighting. '

He didn't want to wear the dippers and he didn't want to be bathed by us. This is ridiculous but what can I do. His spirit definitely hasn't aged or it changed back because when I found him, he wasn't like this. I gave Sunny some food and he became finally quiet. Sideswipe shove his knife away without looking up when Sunstreaker tried to reach for it. I was a little scared to talk out loud because Sunstreaker could hear and understand everything. 

His red eyes kept scanning me and Sideswipe. It made us both feel uncomfortable. 'I think I am going back to base. I bet you can handle our... cute little sunshine over there,' he said. Sunstreaker screamed and I nearly dropped my mug of tea. It sounded hatred and scary like he was possessed or something. 'Give him some crayons, perhaps he'll come down,' Sideswipe said as he got up. I hummed and sat back. Sideswipe kissed my cheek and Sunstreaker uttered another furious scream. 'Behave, little brother,' Sideswipe snapped, tapping him softly on the head. 'Keep him out of the kitchen.' I gave a small nod and watched him leave, leaving me alone with this evil sparkling.
