TFP: Alone

Chapter 47: Missing You

Sideswipe's P.O.V.

Today was the day of Legacy's graduation. Sunny was right here with me in my mind. It had been a few weeks since he went in and now he was in solitary confinement. He was getting into too many fights and now that's where he had to stay.

Legacy had gotten her armor redone and polished for the ceremony and was up there with some of the other graduates. She stood in the row, fidgeting with her servos and biting her lip nervously. I sat in the stands, next to her sire, who was not all that pleased that I was here.

::I think she's next.:: Sunny said. I focus my attention on her as they call her name. Her optics brighten and she steps toward the administrator of the Vos Learning Center with a smile on her face. He gives her a kind smile with a datapad and a pat on the shoulder before moving to the next Bot. Legacy exited the stage and went through a door in back and I was curious as to where she went, not even focusing on the rest of the ceremony.

::Wow... She came from another planet and come up among us as one of the best.:: Sunstreaker hummed in amazement.

::Yeah.:: I respond. Legacy always tried her best at everything she did. That's why she's so great. Her sire looked so proud and I give him a small smile before I rise with the rest of the crowd, going off to find Legacy.

Well, she actually found us. I hear her voice, speaking in her language, and she leaps into her sires arms with an enormous hug. He hugged her back with a wide smile on his face. I caught sight of the scar on his cheek that my twin had given him and I briefly feel bad, then I remember he's the one who tried to turn him in.

::He's Legacy's father. Try to be civil.:: Sunstreaker said. I noticed that since my twin has been in prison, he hasn't had his normal angry flare. It was unusual and I missed the poking and punching in our bond. I suddenly felt a hard pinch and I wince.

::How's that?:: Sunstreaker asks. He'd be rolling his optics right now if I could see him.

::Great.:: I respond sarcastically.

"Sides!" Legacy jump on me, wrapping her arms tightly around me neck and I hug her waist, earning a glare from her sire as I kiss her cheek.

"You're so amazing." I say into her ear.

::Tell her I'm proud of her too.:: Sunny says.

"Sunny thinks so too. He's really proud of you." I tell her. She pulls away with an adorable grin.

"Let's go see him." She says. Her sire came up and spoke to her in the Earth language and I'm assuming trying to convnce her not too, but Legacy is stubborn as ever. She handed her sire her datapad and took my servo.

"Keep an optic on her please." Her sire said. "And no funny business." He added, his optics flicking between us.

"No promises." I say. Legacy blushed and dragged me away from her sire and out the front entrance of the building. The ceremony had been held in Kaon so it wouldn't take too long to get to the prison.

Legacy and I swung our servos in between us and we both had smiles on our faces. I dipped my helm down and met her in a sweet kiss that felt like it could last forever. Sunstreaker was right there with me in my mind, sharing the moment. I'm sure Legacy knew that she was kissing both of us.

We arrive at the visitor entrance, going through the long process of getting checked in. We were brought to a visiting room that was made for the more 'excitable inmates' and we waited for them to bring in Sunstreaker.

When they finally brought him in, he was looking pretty rough. He was restrained by stasis cuffs. His paint was chipped and dull. There was a code that they had put on the right side of his chest not too long ago to scan him and his Decepticon symbol stuck out on his yellow paint job.

"Legacy, you look so beautiful." He leaned across the table, kissing her forehead. They didn't want him kissing her lips anymore, afraid that she'd slip him some contraband through the kiss.

"Aren't you going to say anything about me? I got all dolled up just to come and see ya." I say sarcasitcally, making him chuckle.

"Whatever. So, when are you starting at the museum?" He asks Legacy.

"Opening day. That's next week. It's been decided that I'll be a curator for one of the collections. I don't know which on yet." She said excitedly.

"How did you end up liking History?" I ask.

"Well, I already learned about Earth's and Cybertronian history is pretty interesting." She said with a coy smile.

"Tell us one of Earth's greatest histories." Sunny said. He was never really interested in history. I think he just wanted to talk.

"Oh... There's so much. Good or bad?" She asks us.

"Good." We say together.

"Well the first time human's ever walked on their moon wasn't all that long ago. Or model T cars. Those were a big thing way back when. Or when the Wright brothers made the first aircraft that was maneuverable and could run on fuel." She rambled on about some of Earth's accomplishments and we listened to her voice, not exactly what she was saying.

"That's pretty cool." Sunsteaker hummed.

"Compared to Cybertron's feats?" She chuckled. "Humans haven't built a spacebridge yet. And when they do, then I'll start comparing." She says with a small smile.

I'm surprised that she as acclimated so well to Cybertron in her short time of being here. I would still be missing home.

::You know she has to be. Her room is covered in human art.:: Sunstreaker said. I agreed with him.

What she's feeling must be what the Bots on Earth felt, during the Great War. They were on a strange new planet that they were forced to live on. They had to be missing home.

It was late by the time we had to leave. I hugged my twin and Legacy and Sunny kissed when the Enforcer wasn't looking. His spark filled with mischief and I smile. Then, he was escorted out of the room and taken back to his cell.

Legacy and I were led out of the back of the prison and to the visitor center. We were the only ones there and we took each others servos before walking out the door. The night air had a certain coolness to it and I pulled Legacy close to me when she shivered.

I walked her to her house and I kissed her goodnight before I headed back to the barracks, thinking about Sunny. He was dreaming about us. Me, him, and Legacy. We were be the cliff and he was painting. She was watching me dance to some Earth music and all was right in the world.
