I bit my lip, staring at the window. "Just say it! What is it you want," he sighed. "Some music!" I said. "NO!" he snapped. "Why not, Sunstreaker, why not... come, please. Sideswipe would do it!" I said, looking at my nails. "I may be his twin! But I am not my brother! I don't give a shit about what you do with him!" he snarled. I sighed softly, leaning back in his seat. "I am just a little bored, you're not talkative, and if you talk you only yell and snap at me..." I said. "Will you stop talking if I turn on my radio?" he snarled. "yup," I said, popping the P.

He sighed but turned on his radio. I hummed along with the song, singing a little. I actually forgot I was driving with an alien robot disguised in a yellow Lamborghini. As the song ended, Sunstreaker lowered the volume. "What?" I asked. "You said you would shut up!" he grunted. I shrugged my shoulders "At least you have good vocals," he muttered. "Is that a compliment?" I asked, smirking a bit. "You want me to punch that smirk off your face?" he snapped. I sighed, rolling my eyes. "I am just bored... Sideswipe is very adventurous," I said.

"I know... he's my twin," Sunstreaker grunted. "Now shut up! I am tired from driving for so long and I just wanna enjoy in peace from the landscape!" he snarled. "Are you gonna paint your landscape?" I asked. "I don't paint anymore," he sulked. "Your brother showed me a photo of your work... why aren't you painting anymore!" I asked, sitting up straight. "Busy," was his simple reply. "That's a shame..." I said, sitting back again. Sunstreaker didn't reply to that and kept driving. "Oh, can you pull over in that small town? It's getting dark and we both can use some sleep," I said.

Sunstreaker groaned, but I knew he was tired and needed to recharge. "Fine," he growled, pulling over and came to a stop. I hopped out and looked around, it was still very cold. "Are you coming or what!" I turned around, facing Sunstreaker who started walking. "Wait here!" he demanded. I shuffled and shivered against the cold while waiting for Sunstreaker that just disappeared in the motel we would be staying for the night. I had no idea what he was doing, but I could only hope they wouldn't kill someone.
"Come on..." I turned around, facing Sunstreaker. Suspiciously I followed, looking around. "What did you do?" I asked. "Just put the guy behind the counter to sleep... permanently," he said, tilting his head in the air. "Why?" I whispered. He shot me a glare "cuz he wasn't helping," I said. I didn't reply on that, I couldn't talk to him if he was in this mood and I wanted to prevent he was going to hurt me.

"You sleep on the sofa! I am staying here to make sure you're not leaving," he snarled. I gave a small nod and settled on the small sofa, curling up. "Can I at least have the second blanket on the bed?" I asked. He groaned before he threw it my way. "Thanks," I said, closing my eyes. Before I was even asleep, I heard a change in Sunstreakers breathing, indicating he was asleep. I opened my eyes, seeing him sprawled out on the bed.
I got up, throwing a blanket over his body and watched him for a moment before I returned to the sofa, staring at the dark ceiling above me. I missed Sideswipe, and I wondered what he was doing. Was he looking for me or not...

The next morning, when I woke up, Sunstreaker was still asleep and didn't seem to wake up anytime soon. He must be really tired, he told me sleeping was vulnerable. I got up quietly and headed to the bathroom, refreshing myself. As I exited the bathroom, I bumped in Sunstreaker. The sleep is still visible in his eyes. Even his once icy blue eyes were still a little bit dull. "You stayed?" he asked. "Yeah... I am still here," I said sarcastically. "You could escape and get away from me," he said, following me with his piercing eyes. "Me against a fast and advanced alien robot... how far do you think I come?" I asked. He hummed "Not far..." he replied. "So what's the point of running off?"

"Besides... you're gonna kill me for sure," I said. He huffed but nodded and disappeared into the bathroom. I sat down on the windowsill, watching the parking lot. Just a few cars and Sunstreaker. Sunstreaker marched out of the room, grabbing my wrist and dragged me with him. "We have to hurry!" he stated. "Why?" I asked.
"Somone is on my tailpipe," he growled, having that murderous look in his eyes. "Decepticons?" I asked. "No," it was all he said. From who was he on the run if it wasn't a Decepticon. "Autobots?" I asked. Sunstreaker didn't reply and threw me in his alternate-mode. His holoform disappeared and left some golden sparkles behind. I looked in the rear mirror to see if someone was following me or not. "Why are we running from Autobots! It's your team!" I said. "I don't wanna interact with them! Do you know many humans I killed?" he hissed. "You have to turn around and talk to them! I am sure Optimus wants a solution too! Why don't you tell him what's bothering you?" I asked.
