Raf's New Family :: Rewriting::

Awkening and Surprise

Raf woke up and looked around. Where was Ratchet? Raf climbed off the berth easily thanks to the latter Ratchet installed and made his way to the med bay. Ratchet was inside, working on someone.

"Who's that?", Raf asked.

"This is you. I figured I'd surprise you.", Ratchet lifted Raf up onto the berth and watched as Raf inspected the Cybertronian.

"Whoa. This is better than I thought I'd be. Thanks, Ratchet.", Raf smiled.

The twins came in to the medbay a few minutes later and the three of them got into position. Ratchet turned on the transfer modulator and the three kids' minds were transferred to their Cybertronian bodies. As soon as the twin girls woke up, they got up and practiced walking.

Raf got up as well and started walking easily. When the girls got the hang of walking again, Ratchet took the three of them to the main part of the base. As soon as they heard them entering, Bumblebee and Ashley looked toward the three younglings. Their optics widen.

"H-hey guys.", Raf smiled.

"Surprise!", the twins yelled and started laughing.

Ashley and Bumblebee walked over to their younglings and hugged them. They were so happy to be reunited with their younglings. Raf looked over at Ratchet and watched as the older mech walked back to the med bay. He got out of his best friend's hold and followed Ratchet.

"Oh, AirRazor. I've missed having you around.", Raf peeked into the medbay and seen Ratchet holding a picture frame upon further inspection, Raf realized the younger mech in the photo looked exactly like he did, "Now, you're here again and you don't even know it. I knew it would never work."

Raf decided to walk in and pretend he didn't hear anything.

"Hey, Ratchet.", Raf smiled, "So, I thought about it and I want AirRazor as my name. What do you think?"

"I think it fits you.", Ratchet smiled, though Raf could see past him.

"You okay, Ratchet? Please, don't tell me you are because I can see that you aren't.", Raf - AirRazor closed the door and set a servo on Ratchet's shoulder plating.

He jerked back when he got shocked. Ratchet looked at him as if asking if he was alright. AirRazor smiled his signature smile. The one that always excited Ratchet. But not this time. AirRazor sat down next to Ratchet and tried to ignore the pull in his spark.

"Alright. Back on Cybertron, I met a bot. Someone that always seemed to know how to make me smile. I met him when he came in for a check up. His normal physician was out. After I checked him over, he asked if I wanted to go out for Energon when my shift was up. I said yes and didn't think anything of it until later.", Ratchet explained Bee walked in shortly after he finished talking.

"Raf, I'm heading out with your sisters to get them their first vehicle mode. You coming?", Bee asked, Raf looked at Ratchet.

"Go on. I'm not going anywhere.", Ratchet smiled and was caught off guard when AirRazor hugged him.

"I'll be back soon, don't worry.", AirRazor smiled back and left with his sire.

Ratchet attempted to calm his spark down. He grumbled in annoyance when his cooling fans kicked in.

Meanwhile, AirRazor and his twin sisters were getting their alt modes. AirRazor had already scanned his. He chose a Dodge Dakota. AirRazor watched his siblings.

"Sire?", Bee hummed in acknowledgement and looked at his youngling, "What does it mean when your spark pulls toward someone?"

Bee's optics widened and he looked over at AirRazor.

"What makes you ask that?", Bee asked as he watched the two girls.

"I'm just curious.", AirRazor answered.

"Well, it's called spark calling.", the two girls listened to their sire as he explained, "Spark calling happens only when a bot has found his or her mate. You're meant to be together."

The girls scanned Lamborghinis and the four went back to base. AirRazor went to his berthroom and thought about what his sire said. He found his mate already? He'd only been a Cybertronian for a few minutes. AirRazor sighed and fell into recharge. He'd figure everything out in the morning.
