Skyflare's POV
Continuation...

I speed down the gravel driveway of of the Car Dealership, trying insanely hard to keep up with Sideswipe.

"Can you please slow down a little?" I yell

He slows down and pulls up along side of me.

"Why?" He asks

I heave an angry sigh.

"I'm still getting used to this kind of stuff, remember?" I hiss

He chuckles

"Says the one that I'm taking to a street race!"

I transform and start to run.

"What are you doing?" He asks, bewildered.

"What does it look like?" I snap

"Running into a tree?" He guesses

"What? Why would you say th-"

I was abruptly cut off as I ran full speed into a giant Oak tree.

I instantly fell back, seeing stars through my optics.

As the stars started to clear I sat up and groaned.

"That's why I said that." Came a voice from above me.

I rub my blurry optics to see Sideswipe leaning over me with a grin on his face.

"Aw man that hurt..." I say, regaining my vision.

"I bet it did." Sideswipe replied while extending a hand out to help me up.

"Thanks." I say as I stand up.

He shrugs.

"No problem." He replies, starring deep into my optics.

"So?" I start, breaking the awkward silence that had settled between us. "How far are we from the street race?"

He pulls his optics away from mine with a sigh and shakes his head.

"Not far, if we drive..." He says in a challenging tone.

I smile.

"Challenge accepted!" I say as we shake hands, sealing the deal.

Then, before Sideswipe had a chance to answer, I transform and speed off.
*At the Street Race*
Sideswipe leads me down a dark alleyway.

I pull out my Decepticon Hunter.

Sideswipe casts me a questioning glance.

"When did you get that?"

"Bee gave it to me when I started doing patrols."

We continue to walk slowly down the alleyway, Sideswipe in the lead.

"Watch it!" I hiss as he suddenly stops.

"Get back!" He whispers.

I shoulder my way past him.

"I don't take orders from you!" I hiss "You're not my brother!"

My attention was drawn back by a clang from somewhere in front of me.

"What the heck was that?" I whisper to myself.

I take a step out of the shadows, my Decepticon Hunter in front of me.

Another clang from the left.

What is going on here?

Then I realized I'd made a huge mistake.

"Skyflare! Skyflare! Wake up!"

My optics flutter open.

"Wha?" I mumble.

I sit up and look around.

Sideswipe was sitting beside me, a worried look on his face.

"Thank the Primes your awake! I thought you were gone for sure..."

I look up at him.

"What happened?" I mutter, still dazed.

"A Con came out of nowhere! It crushed you and then I gave it some nasty dents that'll take a while to get out!" He boasts proudly.

I look at myself.

My legs were filled with dents.

That's just great! How are we gonna explain this to Bee?

"Do you think you can transform?" Sideswipe asks me

"I guess I could try."

I start to stand up but never got to my feet.

I fall back down again with a thud.

"This is pointless!" I hiss at Sideswipe "Why did you even bring me here in the first place! Now I can't even stand!"

He looks down at me, sympathy in his optics.

"Skyflare- I promise none of this was planned! I didn't think you'd actually let me bring you to the street race! All I wanted to show you was your options for your vehicle mode..."

I glare at him.

"Yeah right! The only people I can trust are Strongarm and my brother!" I hiss

I finally find my feet and slowly drag myself to a corner and ponder the last few days of my life.
