thinking about the offer

The next day, at the base, Sideswipe woke up and got up out of bed. It was hard for him to sneak back home last night without Fracture or Airazor or Divebomb knowing he snuck out.

Though, once he was awake, he was sitting on his bed, thinking about last night and how he not only made 3 new friends, but sang with them on stage. And they were given an offer to become  a band for Trent’s night club.

The red Autobot had to admit, it was a good offer, but it seemed a little bit too much. And he didn't know what to think. Did he really want to make his life better by being famous?

“What should i do?” he asked himself, as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. “Do i want to take the offer? Or should i not? Is it worth being famous to end the pain? I don’t really know.”

Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted when he heard the door to his room open which made him fall to  the floor in shock. He looked over and saw Fracture standing near the doorway with an angry look on his face.

“What are you doing you lazy Autobot?!” he asked angrily. “You were supposed to start the chores the second you were awake! Get to it! Or else!”

“Ok Father.” Sideswipe said, slightly scared as he walked out of his room to do what he was told. But the thought still stayed in his head.

Over at Crown City High, Jetstorm and Slipstream were in the library doing their homework, while they kept their distance from everyone, like they always did. But as they were doing so, they also had the same thought as Sideswipe did.

‘Performing with Sideswipe and HotShot was actually kind of fun.’ Slipstream thought honestly as he and Jetstorm thought about it. ‘And they both seem very nice. We have not actually made friends with anyone since Olive and Olympia rejected us.’

The twin minicons let out a sigh as the offer came to their heads. “Still…. To be a band and perform…. Do we want that or not?’ Jetstorm thought in confusion. ‘We do not want to be liked if we  become famous but…. Maybe it is more than that? We do not know.’

Over at Griffin Rock High School, HotShot was going through the his usual routine as well. Being bullied and hearing the insults from everyone that he walked past as he tried to ignore them.

But at the same time, he was also thinking the same thing his 3 new friends were thinking. The offer to be a band and perform.

‘Be a band?’ he thought curiously. ‘That does sound like fun. But very risky. Yet, during that night, i got 3 new friends. Something i never had in my life.’

The red and yellow autobot stopped at his tracks and looked at the floor. “Maybe this is what i want?” he asked himself curiously. “I don’t know.”

Though they were separated, Sideswipe, Jetstorm, Slipstream and HotShot let out sighs as the thought ran through their heads. “Maybe this offer can fix my life and chase away these blues i have everyday.” they said at the same time. “These bad days.”

As they said that, music began to play and they began to sing, even though they were far away,

Jetstorm: Where is the moment when we needed the most?

You kick up the leaves, and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue sky's faded to gray

They tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carrying on

Slipstream: Stand in the line just to hit a new low
