25Alas! I have returned! And I come bearing a chapter for you! I know it's late but I had half of it finished last year but I just didn't know how I wanted it to end but I figured it out and now it's here! Finally!
Bumblebee-the-Dork: You'll find out soon but yes, you get a hug from 'Bee!
1234Devyn: Fine, take it. 'Bee doesn't mind, all the more hugs for him! But yeah, thanks and I know but I hope I make up for my suckiness (probably not even a real word but whatever).
Dragon of Yin and Yang: Thank you so much! It always makes me smile when people like my stories
Autobotlover56: Thanks and I have finally gotten off my lazy butt to give it to you.
Guest: Here you go! And thanks, it means a lot to me
Right, so, as you all know, I don't own Transformers or anything else I mention in any of my chapters like other TV shows, songs, artists, you get the picture. I own my OC's (in this chapter Aster and Hammerbound, I made up his name and I don't think there has ever been one but if so then my mistake) and the plot for this story.
WARNING: There are cybertronian swears. Just in case any younger kids are reading and aren't comfortable with reading swear words of any kind.

Wait-What?!
3rd Person POV
The twins were dead. No, more than that. They were so dead that even the Allspark wouldn't be able to revive them. The red twin shared another look with his brother.
"What do we do?"
The yellow mech had to think for a second before he bent down in front of the little girl and said,
"It doesn't matter, just don't say that word, ok?"
"What, frag?"
"Shh! No! – Wait-Yes! Don-"
"Frag."
The twins winced.
"Frag frag fraggity frag!"
Oh yes. When the others heard, they were definitely goners. What the two didn't realize was that as they started to argue over their bond that Aster had run off to show all of her uncles and other brothers the new word she had learnt.

Trailbreaker, Windcharger and Brawn were in the rec-room having a few energon cubes. The room was bare of any other occupants but it made it easier for them to hear the story being told.
"So then I picked that no good Deceptiscum up and threw him over the canyon cliff."
"Geez, Brawn," Trailbreaker said, taking a quick sip of the life fluid, "I knew you could do some heavy lifting but chucking Hammerbound? That mech was one of the biggest brutes on the 'cons side!"
"Yeah well-"
"Uncle 'Breaker! Uncle 'Charger! Uncle Brawn!" The three aforementioned 'bots looked over at the entrance to see the little 9-year-old running towards them.
"Hey there, kiddo." Windcharger picked her up off the floor and placed her on the table. "What's got you so excited?"
The girl was practically bouncing with excitement. She loved to tell new things to her family to show them that she was smart like them.
"I learnt a really cool sounding word! I don't know what it means… but it sounds cool!" When the mechs asked her what it was, they weren't expecting anything like that. "So what does it mean?"
"…"
"Uh…"
"Well-"
"Why don't you ask someone else?" Trailbreaker cut in, silencing Brawn from explaining.
"Okay!"
And with that, she slid down the fireman's pole on the side of the table and skipped of to find her next victim. Silence reigned over the trio. A multitude of looks were passed between them.
"So," Windcharger began, "what's the bet that it was one of the higher ups that accidently let it slip?"
The other two mechs choked out laughter, the green and yellow minibot lifting his cube before saying, "I'd pay to see them get found" and downing the fluorescent pink liquid.

[/I'm telling you Sunny-\\]
[/Sides.\\] Sunstreaker tried to say.
[/-Hatchet'll find out-\\]
[/Sides.\\]
[/-and then we'll really be dead mechs-\\]
[/SIDES!\\]
[/What?\\]
With a simple point of his digit to where their human sister had previously been, the red troublemaker let out an anguished cry of defeat.

It had been a few hours since this incident had all started. Aster had asked about half the base already about this mysterious word and it was just pure luck that no one had discovered who, exactly, had told her. Most of the 'bots were now in the command center, having been called in when their favourite show had come on. It was currently playing ads so everyone was relaxing, discussing what had just occurred before the break. Aster came in and to say she was annoyed was putting it lightly. Nobody would tell her what it meant! And she was nothing if not stubborn when she set her mind on something; a trait she had gained from her family members. She looked at those in the room whom of which she hadn't yet asked.
"Uncle Optimus?"
The mechs that knew about her search for "the truth!" as she had once put it, froze and many optics darted to their leader.
"Yes, youngling?"
"Will you answer my question honestly?"
The commander of the Autobots looked puzzled at her statement. His teammates' expressions only furthered the Prime's confusion.
"What is your question?"
"What."
Some mechs began recording.
"Is.
Others just watched in anticipation.
"Frag."
Optimus had to recalibrate his optics and play it back in his processor.
"…You wish to know?"
While the child nodded eagerly, his fellow Autobots were shocked. The Optimus Prime was going to explain what frag meant to a sparkling?!
"It is… a Cybertronian word that is similar in meaning to one of your human curse words. It can mean many things but it is not nice to use it and you could get in trouble if you were to say it later on since you now know that it is inappropriate."
"Oh. Ok then! Thank you Uncle Optimus!"
A collective sigh enveloped the room. That was Optimus for you. He knew how to word things just the right way. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe mentally high-fived each other at not being discovered-
"Now, where did you hear this word?"
"Huh? Oh, just from Sunny and Sides."
Nobot had ever seen the two terrors run quite that fast before then.
