25Hey everyone! I know, I know, I haven't updated this or my other one in a while BUT I will explain in my bottom bit at the end. So so SO sorry for the lateness but I've had major writer's block for this, along with plot bunnies for future chapters that wouldn't allow me to write anymore of this chapter. Oh and in the prologue I put that it was 100% original and it is but in future chapters, I'm thinking of using episodes from G1.
Bluefeather4299 – Aww thanks! And she is adorable, isn't she?
Starlight236 – Here you go and thanks for saying please.
grandprincessanastasiaromanov5 – Why thankyou your majesty.
Anyways, I've made you wait long enough. I give you, Chapter one of "Life with Transformers"!
It had been almost 5 years since they found Aster and the young 7 year old couldn't be happier than she was with the Autobots. Sure, she couldn't hug them properly or go out in public with them and do family stuff, but she didn't mind. She loved her family and they always made up for it. Speaking of family, she was currently peeping out of the med-bay, looking to see if anyone was coming. "Are you sure Uncle Ratchet will like this?" Aster asked softly to the two beings behind her, one red and one yellow. The yellow one smirked at the little girl and continued putting up pink streamers while his red brother bent down and patted her head. "Ofcourse! Didn't you know he secretly likes pink?" Aster shook her head as she looked up at her big brother, Sideswipe. "Well he does, so we're redecorating for him." He replied with a cheeky grin, one that grew bigger as his little sister fell for it.
"But," his yellow twin, Sunstreaker, cut in, "don't tell him we did this." A look of pure confusion fell upon her face.
"Why?"
"Because…" Sunny started and looked to his twin for help.
"Because we don't want Hatchet to hug us."
"Ratchet." Aster reminded him.
"Right. But if he knew Sunny and I did it, he'd hug us and we thought you'd like a hug. You like it when one of us hugs you, right?"
"Yeah, ofcourse! I love you guys." She shouted eagerly. Her family's hugs were the best!
"That's our little sis'." Sideswipe proudly stated as he ruffled her hair with one digit.
"He-He-Hey! Stop it, it makes me look funny when you do that." She giggled while slightly pouting.
"You hearing this Sunny? She takes after you, always wanting to look good." You could practically hear the smirk in his voice as he teased his twin.
"Yeah, yeah," the yellow twin sighed, "and don't call me Sunny! Only Aster gets too. But besides that, we should get out of here before the Hatchet returns to his lair." Sideswipe nodded in agreement and picked Aster up.
"Welp, see you later Little Star, and remember, don't tell Uncle Ratchet." Sideswipe then gave her a big kiss on her forehead, placed her on a medical berth and the terror twins booked it like petro-bats out a the pit.
Aster waved excitedly at their retreating forms and smiled largely when she heard the sound of pedesteps getting closer to the med-bay, along with her Uncle Ratchet's voice accompanying them. She sat anxiously as the sounds grew louder and the distinct voices of her Uncle Optimus and Uncle Wheeljack could be heard as well. I hope he likes it, we've been working on this for ages and ages! She thought, feeling energy building up inside her small body. Finally, the large, orange doors slid open and to say Ratchet, Wheeljack and Optimus were shocked was an understatement. Pink streamers decorated almost every piece of furniture, one wall was painted pink, everything was coated with pink glitter and Aster was sitting in the middle of it all with a big smile on her cheery face. When they didn't immediately smile, her smile slowly fell. Was there not enough pink stuff? Aster didn't know but was broken out of her thought bubble by her Uncle Wheeljack laughing and using the wall to keep himself up. Aster giggled, she liked it when one f her family members would laugh, especially the ones that didn't laugh a lot. She thought they had the best laughs in the… in the entire universe! She looked up and stopped giggling at the sight of her Uncle Ratchet giving her a stern look.
"Aster…" he began, "what is this?" He was trying to be calm and patient for her since he would never yell at his niece intentionally.
"Well we, I-I mean I, was told that you liked pink, so w-I made it pink for you." If Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were here, Aster knew they'd be face palming just like the first time she did a prank with them, although she didn't know it was a prank.
"Really? And who told you I liked pink?" the red and white medic questioned, having a suspicion of who really did it. "Were they the same ones that helped you? Because you couldn't have done this all by yourself."
Aster looked down at her feet and absentmindedly rubbed her arm. "Umm… they told me not to tell you." Ratchet just smirked.
"Sunstreaker and Sideswipe?" he said knowingly.
"How did you know?!" She gasped in amazement.
"I'm a mind reader." He answered sarcastically. Ofcourse, being 7, she didn't know what sarcasm was.
"Really?! That's so cool!"
"No, wait, I didn't actually mean-" he was interrupted by a comm. from his leader, Optimus Prime, who hadn't said anything before now.
::Let her think that for now Ratchet. It won't do any harm for now.::
Ratchet sighed and looked at his niece who was sitting there patiently. "Yes, I'm a mind reader, especially when it comes to Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. I can almost always tell when they're making trouble."
"Awesome!... Wait, so do I get my hug now?" She held out her arms and Ratchet gave her a deadpan look.
…
"Did they bribe you with hugs again?"
"…Yes." And as if Wheeljack wasn't laughing hard enough before, he was laughing even louder, as he thought the entire situation was hilarious. He was soon silenced by a well aimed wrench to the helm. Nodding in satisfaction, Ratchet looked back to Aster to see her looking upset.
"Aw, come on now sweetspark, don't be upset. Your Uncle Wheeljack's just got a few loose screws in his processor." There was an indignant cry from the inventor but he was ignored. The CMO hugged his precious niece. "There. Now, do you want to watch your old Uncle Ironhide and I put a few dents in their helms for tricking you?" She nodded timidly but added,
"Remember, not too hard. You know I don't like you guys getting hurt."
Ratchet smiled down at her, loving how she cared so much for them even though they weren't her real family. "Ofcourse sweetspark, ofcourse." And with that, he picked up one of his favourite wrenches and left with a smiling Aster on his shoulders.
"It's good to see Aster so cheery and smiling all the time, isn't it Prime?" the white, red and green mech stated/asked.
"It is Wheeljack, it is. I just hope that she never stops being so happy. She really keeps us all together." The Prime responded and, although no one could see it, he was smiling fondly.
WOO! There, I did it. A little fluffy, I know but I think it's absolutely adorable. Feel free to review, follow or favourite, it's up to you.
Now, on to why I haven't updated this or my other story in a while. You see, especially with the other one, I'm having some writer's block. I don't get how people can watch something, pause it, write down the things that happen if it is a main part of the storyline or what not, play and then repeat. I salute you. I also have more rehearsals because we are taking our show overseas to perform in…. AMERICA! XD It's my first trip overseas and I'll be there for the whole of January and I'm going to the Transformers Ride at Universal, so excited! But yeah, that's what's been distracting me and I probably wont be updating until next year, within the first 2-3 months. Please don't hate me but I thank all of you who have stayed with me throughout it all. Thankyou, my faithful readers, emzydatffan signing off.
