TFP: Alone

Chapter 5: Feelings

Sideswipe's P.O.V.

My brother and I laugh along with the others and continue our training. The look on her face was priceless! My brother and I beat the other Bots in our races and our sparring sessions. We recognized one or two others who also fought in the Pits with us, but we never bother to introduce ourselves. They were the only decent opponents, but we never had a challenge!

My brother and I both feel bored with this entire place! We're old enough to be in Advanced Training, but we never bothered to put an effort into anything because it was all so stupid! We were never going to be able to be out there in the work force because we were 'scum' to the officials. At least when we're in the Learning Center we get energon rations for the day.

Soon it was break time and my brother and I strut through the halls, despite our injured selves. We head to the commons and on our way there, we see all of our favorite freaks.

"Hey! Look at that Sunny. They're best friends! Let's go break up there little party." I nudge my brother. He responses with a sharp smack to the chest and a gruff,' don't call me that'.

"Rack! Ruin! So good to see you. I see you've made a friend." I sit next to the strange femme and my brother sits across from me, next to the other twins.

"'Bout time..." Sunstreaker says lowly.

They all stay quiet and I grin in the awkward silence.

"What about you Legacy? Not too weird for you? Of course not." I laugh. Her optics meet mine for a split second before her eyes flick back down at the table. She had a sealed bottle in front of her that most likely held her energon rations.

"Well, this is awkward, so we'll leave you guys to it." I smirk. I felt my brothers disgust for them. As we passed he grabbed the femme's rations and then his spark flared with anger.

I turn to see her looking back at him, with a tight grip on the bottle. I saw my brothers digits tighten on the other end of it before he broke it open under the pressure.

The remaining engergon spewed all over the femme and my brother and drew the attention of the entire commons.

I bust out laughing and I watch as Sunny's face darkens. The crowd around us started to laugh and they all talked. It was a constant hum of voices and laughter.

Sunny releases the bottle with a huff and storms passed me, out of the commons. I follow him and out of the buzz of all the Bots. Out of he corner of my eye, I see the freak-a-zoid twins and the femme leaving the commons out the back exit.

Sunny stopped in the hallway and went to our shared storage unit. He pulled out an organic cloth and cleaned the energon off of him with an angry expression.

"You wouldn't have had an energon container blow up on you if you had left her rations alone." I lean against the storage units.

"She doesn't need them like we do! She lives in the fourth level. She's probably got stockpiles at home!" He says, baring his denta.

I reach a digit out and I wipe some energon off his chest, leaving yellow streaks through the pale blue. I stuck my digit in my mouth and I taste the energon.

"Eugh! It tastes funny.... That might just be you though." I smirk, making Sunny growl.

He reels back his fist and punches me in the side of my helm. I stagger back and I hold my helm.

"Afthole..." I grumble.

Legacy's P.O.V.

The twins and I all made our way to the rooftop. I went up first and I held the top open for the twins.

We sit down on the edge of the building and I begin to clean off my armor with a rag I kept in my pack.

"It's good you stood up to the twins." Ruins says.

"They're considered royalty here." Rack states.

"I wasn't standing up to them. I have... um.... I don't know the word for it, but I have something in it that might make them sick." I say. I couldn't remember the word for medicine and I was never taught the word for supplements or nutrients. The twins hum in acknowledgment.

"Where are you from?" One of them asks suddenly. Should I tell them? I don't want to be outcasted by them too.

"I was born on a different planet, so I had to learn Cybertronian. But I... That's why I'm different. I'm part organic and I need...organic fuel." They were silent for a moment.

"We weren't made like this. From our understanding, when our sparks split, they were too weak to be too far apart. So we were made into this to keep our sparks from dying." They say together.

So they were little experiments too. I nod my understanding and we sat in silence for the rest of the refueling break.

Smokescreen's P.O.V.

I patrolled the streets of Iacon, the only sound being the rumbling of my engine. I couldn't stop thinking about Emma. She just left. At first, I was so in shock that I couldn't function. I just let her go.

I was so angry! I can't believe that she would just leave me. Emma wanted a break? After 12 years of marriage, we could have worked through this.

Maybe we couldn't have. I don't know.... Why did Silas come after us? I never asked Legacy what happened when she was gone. She was missing for months. I couldn't see her right now. I could hardly stand to look at her. That wasn't my daughter. There was no way....

I remembered a happy girl, with bright eyes, dark hair, with a bright smile. I remember my son with blonde hair that was wild, bright blue eyes, and a grin that would melt your spark. I remembered my wife, with her beautiful eyes, long hair, white teeth, and a touch that would make your skin feel like fire.
