The Ring Of A Bell

Agony then Relief

Ok. I am so happy that Christmas is around the corner. I am sorry to say that I will not be writing another chapter until after Christmas. So.... it's gonna be awhile

So, at this point in my life, everything just got worse. The burning sensation that rolled through my frame was agonizing. I gave out another cry of agony as the burning got hotter and hotter. I could barely hear anything, for all that came out of my audio receptors was ringing. I could feel Sunstreaker holding me down on the floor, but that did not stop me from screaming. I heard someone crash through the door and screaming at the top of his vents. "What in holy Primus is going on in here?!" Man... that had to be Ratchet. That moment was suddenly the worst of all. My hot, burning body now felt like I was really on fire. I screamed even louder. So.... much.... agony. So... much.... pain. It had to stop. I felt a small prick in my neck. My body felt tired all of the sudden. Though, the pain started to fade as my world faded to. I felt the gentle touch of a servo on my forhelm. "Just relax. Your going to be okay. Don't try to move." The voice was soothing, but did not belong to Sunstreaker. Everything was getting darker and that's when I finally gave in the comforting darkness of unconsciousness.

"....................?"
"How...........this...hap.....?"
What was that sound? What was that voice?
"Sid.......?"
Was the voice talking to me?
"Bro?"
That was Sunstreaker! Okay, just need to wake up. I forced my optics to open. Looking around, I see the figure of someone above me. Wait, why was everything bigger? My vision cleared and the figure came to look like Sunstreaker. He was.... so BIG! Why was he so big?! I tried to talk to him, but all that came through my vocals was a chirp and a squeak. Sunstreaker looked up and to Ratchet as he came in. "How did this happen?" Sunstreaker asked Ratchet. Wow, I can't believe that Sunny was worried for me. Ratchet came up beside the berth and checked a monitor that was attached to me. "Well, it seems that this was caused by an unknown energy surge. The highest probability would be a after affect of that blast Megatron hit him with. I will make sure to have a talk to Perceptor and Wheeljack to make a way to reverse this predicament." Ratchet grumble. I was getting tired of getting ignored, so I started trying to get someone's attention. I tried to talk once again, but still nothing came out without it being a chirp or a squeak. It did the trick though. Ratchet and Sunstreaker looked at me with.... concern? "Do you think he remembers us?" Sunstreaker asked Ratchet, worried for his brother. "The best answer I can give would be a no. In his state, I would not think highly of it. He liklpNewborn sparklings are not very conscious of what goes on around them. All they do is sleep, eat, and well.... go to the restroom. He will need to be taken care of and you will not always be there to watch him. You have you duties to fulfill on the ark." As I listened to them speaking, it was getting bored. So yeah, I am a sparkling. I just got a great idea though. They did not athink that I remembered them, which means that this would be a great time for a prank. I smiled and chuckled at the thought of being lots of trouble. "So, at the moment Sunstreaker you will need to finish your patrol duties. You also have guard duty for tonight. I promise that I will find someone to take care of him at the time being." Ratchet said as he pushed Sunstreaker out the medbay doors. Ratchet turned around and came up to me. "Now what am I going to do with you? For now I guess I need to get you feed and in a diaper." Ratchet said as he walked over to the counter near the berth I was sitting on. He grabbed a sparkling diaper, Primus knows where he got them, and came over to me and flipped me over onto my chest. Wait, was I about to get diapered?! Oh no he will not do this to me. I kick and struggled on the berth and I only heard him chuckling at me. I glared at him. What was so funny. "Well now, we will have non of that Sideswipe. You may be a sparkling, but you will behave." Ratchet said as he started to put the diaper on. Holy Primus, this was so embarrassing. I still did not give up my struggles to get away from this embarrassing moment, but even after all of my struggles he still go it on. With that out of the way Ratchet picked me up and wrapped me in a thermal blanket. No! I will not be treated like some sparkling! I struggled even more in Ratchets arms, but he kept a firm yet gentle grip on me. I knew I wanted to be trouble, but this was a little to much. It was so embarrassing. Ratchet grabbed a energon bottle, which I have no idea how it got there, and sat down on the berth that I woke on. I felt him snuggle me into the crook of his arm and held the bottle up to my face, gently forcing it into my mouth. As if it was just instinct, I quickly latched onto the bottle. I suckled on the sweet energon that went down my throat and into my tanks. I looked up at Ratchet and what I saw was creepy. He was.... SMILING! Ratchet looked down at me, he had not seen living sparkling in millions of years. Seeing one alive, even though it was Sideswipe, brought warmth to his spark. I finally finished the bottle and and Ratchet put it down on the counter where he had got it from. As much as I hated Ratchet, he was like a father to me and Sunstreaker. We were almost dead on the streets of Cybertron and he took us in. I snuggled into the blanket that cocooned my body and gave out a big yawn. "Well little sparklet I think it's time for you to rest. Tomorrow we will spread the news about how.... this happened. Right now you just need to rest and let us take care of it." Ratchet said. I really don't care at the moment. All I want to do is sleep. Yawning, I nuzzled my head into the warm chest plate of Ratchet. I felt him rock me in a soothing motion and that just made me feel sleepier. Not able to keep my optics open any longer, I slept.

Ok. So what do you think. A little Christmas chapter for the holidays. Sideswipe is going to be little bit of trouble in the future, but that's what we all expect from him. Right? I hoped you enjoyed and merry Christmas! It's time for me to take a break from my stories and have some time with my family and you should to.
