"Hey Sides," I said,dangling my legs down the side of Sideswipe's vehicle mode while licking a icecream cone. "How many Decepticons are out there?"

"Reasonable guess; a hundred," Sideswipe said. "Now get off my hood!"

"I won't get off until I am done licking this old girl," I said.

"Just because you turned seventeen a couple days ago does not mean I can't force off," Sideswipe remarks.

Let's count.

2007,2008,2009.

I have spent 3 boring years in the Bayverse. Well, not really boring. In the three years that have passed I have gone foster home to foster home until this widow seemed just right. Black hair with a silver streak in it, gray eyes, and skin that compliments her appearance. She wears dark clothing and sometimes complimentary ones. She works as a role model or whatever you call those people who walk on the catwalk lacking those rails showing off what sexy attire.. I have used the time to annoy what Autobots I can.

Sideswipe's hood flips over.

Yet I gracefully land on the ground licking my icecream cone.

"I have complementary orders from the king of complementary!" I declare.

"No, you do not," Sideswipe said.

"I have orders straight off the television screen!" I add.

Sideswipe sighs.

"I am not falling for that trick, again," Sideswipe said. "You are not a child anymore."

I get up.

"Being childish does great for the mind when in devastation," I said.

"To be frank you are annoying," Sideswipe said.

I throw my icecream cone into Sideswipe's vehicle mode then ran back to the house feeling tears coming out. I may be a tough cookie but being called annoying is one of my weaknesses. I still have not mastered that emotion to feel upset when someone has said 'You are annoying'. I just tried to be funny and look where that got me? I don't always show this negative side in fear people will say 'Stop faking it'. Maybe it is all because of the time I broke my leg, I was young and crying, and my teacher refused to do a thing thinking I was crying over nothing.

I fell from really high monkey bars. It hurts to be adventurous. From then on, I have been really scared to show my negative feelings. Remember the widow I told you about? Her name is Cari Sladen. 3 years and not one Decepticon has showed up. I have overheard Sideswipe communicating with another Autobot some days discussing how pointless it is to be my protector. I can understand why Sideswipe is annoyed.

No action, no Decepticon interference, and me being annoying.

I don't always cry.

But when I do, I do.
