Chapter three

Still trapped in the medbay, I heard a deep sigh from the other occupied bed.

I looked over to her from my own bed. "Something wrong?" I asked, resting my head on my hands.

My sister merely rolled onto her side, appearing to ignore me.

Suddenly, she sat up, her eyes glowing dimly.

"Princess here has switched moods on us."

Kelly let out another sigh.

I soon sat up too. "Greeeaaat." I groaned.

"And why is she not talking to me?" I mused.

"Relax," Sideswipe waved a hand at me. "We figured out a way around it. I just take control for as long as I can." He swings his legs over the side of the bed.   "So that means you're stuck with me~," he sang.

"And because she's an aft when she's depressed." He added

"I don't know which is worse. You being...you, or Kelly being an aft." I said.

It appeared that Side's didn't quite like what I said, and promptly flipped me off, before grinning as he lowered his arm.

"But you wouldn't have us any other way~."

"that's debatable." Sunstreaker mumbled, speaking up for the first time out loud in awhile.

"Hey!," Sideswipe pouts. "That hurts."

"He's kidding!" I assure. "I think..." I add.

Sideswipe waves a hand at her in a dismissive gesture with a grin. "I'm used to it."

"So what's got her down?" I asked. "If I know maybe I could help solve the problem." I explained.

He shrugs. "Could be anything. She has Bipolar two so depression is rather common, but with the help of me she can hide it well enough... Most of the time. Sometimes it gets to the point that even I can't do anything to help her."

"Well let's do something fun. We have paint...wanna prank someone?" I suggested

Sideswipe grins. "I'm always up for a good prank so count me in."

"But Kelly has to do it with me." I added.

Sideswipe barks a laugh. "Ha! Wait a couple days and she'll be all over it, but not right now. Right now she would just get in the way."

Sideswipe suddenly let out a squawk, flailing his arms.

I quirk an eyebrow at the unitelligent squeak from them. Kelly must have just smacked him, hard.

He quickly sits back up with a frown. "What was that for?!"

"That's what you get for being a smart aft to a depressed chick." I said.

Sideswipe levels a glare.

She just shook her head. "That's not going to do anything for you." I said

He shrugs. "Doesn't hurt to try."

The large door to the medbay opens, catching Sideswipe's attention.

I looked to the opening door, peaking sunny's and my owns curiosity.

Two short mechs, one brown and the other green, both covered in dents, walk through the door, trying to be sneaky. And fail.
