Sideswipe and the Autobots

chapter five: a sudden meeting

It took him a while to make sure his adopted father and adopted brothers were asleep, but Sideswipe managed to sneak out without them knowing. And just like that, he has arrived at the music club.

"This must be the place." he said as he looked at the building. "Wow. The place sure looks big. Must be pretty popular too."

The red Autobot soon walked into the building and gasped at the sight as well. It was a lot bigger on the inside and there were already a lot of people there.

"Whoa." he said in amazement. "This place is unbelievable!"

As he walked in, he took a seat at an empty table and admired the sights. He saw there was a band playing and people were either dancing or having snacks.

"Excuse me sir." a waiter with a few drinks on a tray in his hands said, getting his attention. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Just a water please." Sideswipe simply said as he nodded his head.

The waiter gave him a glass of water before he walked off. "At least i get some time to myself." he said before letting out a sigh. "Without Father or Airazor or Divebomb having to treat me like a slave and being jerks to me."

"Um... excuse us? Are these seats taken?" a voice asked from close by.

The red Autobot looked over and saw 2 little twin minicons standing close by. It was none other than Jetstorm and Slipstream.

"Oh no." he said quickly. "Go ahead. You can sit here."

"Thank you very much." Slipstream said gratefully as the twins sat down. "We just really needed some time to think and get away from the bad stuff happening in our lives."

"Yeah, me too." Sideswipe said as he played with his water for a bit. "It's been pretty bad for me. So i snuck out for tonight to get away from it all."

"You snuck out?" Jetstorm asked in shock when he and Slipstream heard that. "Not really a good sign in my opinion."

"You have no idea what it's like back home" Sideswipe said as he felt tears form in his optics. "My adopted father and brothers have been jerks to me ever since they adopted me. They've been treating me like a slave. And i'm tired of it."

"At least you did not get rejected by two girls you have loved for so long in the most cruelest possible way." Slipstream said as he and Jetstorm also felt tears in their optics.

"Oh." Sideswipe said in shock when he heard that. "I'm so sorry. That's gotta be horrible for you."

"You have no idea." Jetstorm said as his voice cracked a bit.

"Hey, look who else decided to show up?" a voice said from close by. "It's old Lame-Shot!"

The three autobots looked over and saw a few kids from a small high school laughing at a red and yellow autobot with a blue pendant who had just come in. it was none other than HotShot.

"Who is that?" Sideswipe asked in shock when he saw him.

"I do not know." Slipstream said in confusion. "But i do not like what those kids are saying to him."

HotShot who was trying to find a place to sit just walked away from the kids he knew from his school, laughing at him as tears ran down his face. He wanted to come here to get AWAY from the bullying. Not be bullied even MORE.

"Let us ask him if he wants to sit over here with us as well." Jetstorm said, giving a suggestion.

"Good idea." Sideswipe said nodding his head before he looked at HotShot who was about to walk away as he walked past. "Hey kid. You wanna sit with us?"

HotShot looked at them in shock when he heard that and stared at them for a bit.

"Really?" he asked a bit hopefully.

"Sure. go ahead." Slipstream said as he patted a seat on the other side of him and Jetstorm. "We do not bite. It is ok."

The red and yellow autobot was still a little bit hesitant but he took the seat next to the twin minicons and sighed. "Thanks."

"We heard what those kids just said to you." the red autobot said with a frown. "That wasn't right at all."

"It happens." Hotshot said trying to act like it's no big deal. "To me it just.... Happens all the time."

"But that is wrong." Jetstorm said angrily. "Why would they ever do that?"

"It's a long story." Hotshot said sadly as he did his best not to cry so much. "I just wanted to come here and get away from all the pain i feel everyday in my life."

"Same here." Sideswipe, Jetstorm and Slipstream said at the same time, nodding their heads.

At that cue, the 4 autobots looked at each other in shock and disbelief. They only just met and they already found they all had one thing in common. They have been through pretty bad lives and it's hard to push on from them.

"I guess it looks like the four of us have the same thing in common." Sideswipe said in shock as he looked at them.
"Yes. Who knew?" Slipstream asked as he let out a small chuckle.

"Maybe the Great Energon Maker in the sky?" Hotshot asked, trying to take a crazy guess.

This instantly caused the four of them to laugh at the little joke. They were instantly getting along very well.

"Oh, i haven't introduced myself yet." the red Autobot said as he looked at the other 3 autobots. "I'm Sideswipe."

"It is nice to meet you." the red minicon said as he shook his servo. "My name is Slipstream, and this is my twin brother Jetstorm."

"And i'm HotShot." the red and yellow autobot said with a smile.

"It's nice to meet all of you." Sideswipe said with a smile on his face. "You know, i have a feeling that this is gonna be the start of a new kind of friendship."

The other 3 autobots nodded in agreement, as the 4 of them had continued talking for a bit. Little did they know was that this sudden meet was going to become a start of something that will change all 4 of their lives forever.
