It's like a dance, me and Sideswipe fighting, we can predict each others moves so perfectly that we rarely land a hit on each other. It's clear to see that we are both equals in both speed and strength. I see every now and then he throws his weight a little bit too far forward and I use it to my advantage. When he goes to punch my head next I quickly step to the side and kick his back. His momentum and my kick send him to the ground, I quickly grab his arms and pin them behind his back. He struggles to get up but after a few minutes he taps out. I let him up and offer him a hand and he just looks at it for a moment with a blank expression. "He's gonna be in a bad mood now. No one but Ironhide and Jazz have been able to beat him in a fight..." I hear Sam mutter. I lock my gaze with Sideswipe as I hold my hand out to him. He takes my hand and I pull him up. "That was a good fight" he said with a laugh. I smile at him as Optimus walks over. "Well done Luna. Could you tell Sideswipe where he can improve?" Optimus asked kindly. I nod and pull my phone out 'you did well-' I write then nearly drop my phone as a girly scream makes me jump. I turn around to see Ironhide cowering behind Ratchet. I stare at Ironhide for a few seconds before turning to Sideswipe. We both burst into laughter as we make eye contact.

Soon my knees start shaking with the force of my laughter, 1 because Ironhide of all people screamed like a little girl and 2 because he screamed because of Mojo Sams little dog. Eventually my knees give in and I fall to the floor only to be caught by Sideswipe, who's knees give in as well. We both sit on the floor leaning against each other laughing our asses off. "Just wait till I get my cannons on you" Ironhide mutters to Sideswipe. The others soon retreat back to the house. I wave at Sideswipe to follow me as run back into the house and run to the roof with a laugh. I sit down at the edge of the roof and Sideswipe sits next to me. He sighs and I can see pain in his bright blue eyes. I gently place my hand on his arm and look at him in concern. "Our sparing match reminded me of my brother. His name is Sunstreaker, he's my twin brother. We did everything together until we got separated by the war. You remember Barricade? Well he's a decepticon they fight for slavery. Then there's the autobots they fight to protect and for freedom." He said with a slight growl when he mentioned the cop car-robot. 'Your one of them aren't you? Your fighting style shows years worth of experience, yet your age won't allow that. I'm guessing the others are too, except Lennox.' I type on my notes page on my phone and show him. He nods with an odd look on his face. "Your extremely observant. But yes they are. Well for us we have bonds. There's creator bonds, it's like a bond between a mother and father and their child but they can sense each other's emotions. Then there's sibling bonds, it's a similar thing but between siblings. Then there's spark mates. It could be said as soul mates or husband and wife here on earth. All of the bonds, if stretched for long amounts of time, can cause damage to both sides. It's painful being without him" he said and I looked in his eyes and saw vulnerability, pain and fear.

I sigh as I lean against Sideswipe trying to offer comfort. "I don't need your pity" he mumbled softly. 'I don't pity you Sideswipe, I understand you. While I don't understand the bonds, I understand what it's like to not know if someone you care about is going to be there the next day. And do you know how hard it is to comfort someone without speaking? I can't believe I've done it for this long.' I type on my phone. He laughs "maybe I can help you with that" he suggests with sincere eyes. "I'm sure Prime would be more than willing to help as well" he said with a smile. I nod and pull him into an awkward hug.

Later that night we were all sat in the living room. I was sat on a sofa with my back resting against Optimus's side while I curled up against Sideswipe. Bee was asleep sat on the floor with his head resting against Optimus's leg. It was a funny sight but the man was obviously used to this type of behavior. "I've never seen anyone take to Optimus so easily" Ironhide mutters. "Well he did just, for lack of better words, save her from her parental units. Not only Optimus but Sideswipe too. I have a feeling this girl will be good for us all." Ratchet agrees. Unfortunately the peace was broken by my phone. I look at the text and my body tenses.

"What is it?" Optimus asked with concern. Sideswipe took my phone and read the text out loud. "Did you really think you could get away? Did you forget about the tracker I put in your phone? I'm outside the Witwicky house. If you want your mother to live meet me outside alone." Sideswipe read. "You will not be going" Optimus stated. I glare at him. "If your mother allowed you to be injure-" Optimus begun only to be cut off by Sideswipe, I just glare at Optimus. "She looks just about ready to tear you up boss bot. Besides we can go up on the roof to make sure nothing happens." Sideswipe said while smiling at me. "These might also be useful" he said while pulling out a pair of gloves. I look at him oddly. "Put them on" he said not once dropping his smile. I slide the gloves over my hands and curl my hands into fists. Imagine my surprise when twin 3foot long blades slide through the material. That's when I notice that the gloves are made of leather and metal. I uncurl my fists and then curl them again and the blades retract. I smile at him in thanks, he replies with a nod then pushes me toward the door. "We'll be with you all the way" he said with a determined smile.

I bolt out of the house and meet my waiting tormentor. (Let's do this) I thought with a shit eating grin. Sure enough my stepfather was stood there with his one arm around my mothers waist, the other was holding a gun to her neck. "So you actually listened for once." He said with a smirk. I stand there with an unamused glare and looked to my Mum. "Don't worry I'll let her go, in due time." He said with his smirk growing. I discreetly look behind the man and see a head of silver hair, Sides. Sideswipe runs forward and smacks the gun away from my mother at the same time as picking her up and running a few paces away from the man. "Don't even bother with the bombs I've dismantled them. Get too it Luna" Sideswipe said with a sassy grin. I nod at him then sprint towards my stepfather.

I grin happily as my stepfathers back makes contact with the hard ground. I turn to where Sideswipe was with my mother. What I see causes me to want to cry. My mother is fighting against Sideswipes arms. I slowly walk over to them. I fall to my knees in front on my mother. She looks up at me before throwing herself at me. She wraps her arms around my shoulders. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I should've listened to you" she said while crying. I look to Sideswipe for help. "Miss. You need to calm down. Optimus, is Prowl anywhere near?" Sideswipe said. Optimus walks out the front door and walks over to us. "He was contacted as soon as Luna walked outside. He will be here soon" Optimus replied.

"You are under arrest for abuse, child abuse and rape." Prowl says as he puts my stepfather in the back of his police car. "Rape? Don't tell me he..." Sideswipe said before trailing off at the end. I shake my head rapidly 'he didn't' I type then show Sideswipe. The silver haired boy sighs in relief before leaning over to hug me. My body tenses for a moment before I force myself to relax. "How 'bout we go for a drive? It might calm you down a bit" Sides asks with a small smile. I nod gratefully and run over to my silver stingray. I stop when I get to the car before looking at Sideswipe. "So you figured it out huh? I'm not all that surprised." Sideswipe said with a lopsided grin.

The car that my father baught me was Sideswipe, Sideswipe is the Corvette Stingray. He would've sensed what was happening. I look at his holoform in shock. I smile before getting in the passenger seat of the car. I pat the dashboard affectionately. 

...

"Oh scrap!" Sideswipe yells as we get fired at. I look at the dashboard in fear. "Dont worry its just a deepticon." He said with a panicked voice. I look behind me and see a jet flying behind us lower than a military jet should be. Sideswipe speeds as fast as he can, weaving between traffic and avoididng other cars. "Sideswipe to Optimus. Were being fired at by Starscream, requesting backup" Sideswipe says into his com.link. When he doesnt get a response he speds up even more before turning off the highway. I let out a scream as a missile hits the ground right beside us, knocking Sideswipe off road and knocking me out.

...

When I finally come too I open my eyes and look around. I'm in what looks like a large cell. I turn to my side and see a medium sized but still large bot slumped against the wall next to me. I don't feel scared of this bot, it reminds me of.....Sideswipe! 'Oh Primus what did they do to you Sides...' I think as I look over the injured bot. Sideswipes optics online and he looks down at me. Im chained to a wall and so is he. 

I smile at Sideswipe before I remembered the gloves that Sideswipe gave me. I ball my hands up into fists and cut through part of the chain. The cuffs are still atatched to my wrists but the chains have fallen limp. hearing the chains clanking together Sideswipe looks towards me. I hold my hands out so he can se that I'm free from the restraints. I retract the swords back into the gloves and carefully climb up Sideswipe. I get to his side and look for the chains holding him. Finding them I slice through them. I climb up to his face so that I can check if he's alright. I pat his face gently and lock eyes with him. His eyes fade in colour and i panic. "S-side-swipe, don't s-sleep" I say with my voice cutting out multiple times. His optics flicker back on and I smile at him.
