Read!: I know that Cybertron does not have water BUT what if there were some alternative liquids? So I decided that there was one and it was something even less powerful than low grad and suited for primitive or some developed organisms of the planet. A Cybetronian mech/femme could use it but he/she would need something extra. So they preferred Energon as a more effective resource, which has more ways of use.
Thanks for all, who wrote comments! I so much appresiate it.
P.S. This chapter has not been checked by any beta.

Soundwave's secret (Transformers)
Chapter 28.
Cybertron's wild wells had once been upstaged by bots but still supporting Cybertron's fauna. Energon crystals were named to be the main source of all kinds of energy physical and technical, as its capacity was on a greater level. Cyberton's leading race always went for more and basic wells of their unique nature were usually underestimated. Fortunately, Soundwave had a chance to come across these simple yet life-giving gifts more than once and, of course, the streaks of washing liquid were not similar to rills. However, she could be glad for it too.
The streaks run down her armor and some parts of protoform underneath it, while waves of cool and warm washed her white faceplate. Soundwave slightly opened her sharply edged optics to look at the laughing pair of twins and Ratbat covered by a mass of bubbles. It was amusing how a simple combination of chemicals and air could bring someone so much fun.
"Don't you, three little, dare-" Lazerbeak warned, promising a regret, catching their playful gazes on him and causing younglings to start laughing again.
Soundwave smiled at the sight, Ravage made another step away from the fuzzy ones, while Buzzsaw shook his head and dived under the shower giving a joyful shiver from the change of temperature.
"All done, all clean. Now, can we leave already?" the red-opticed flyer asked hurrying, his look flinching to the door and returning back to the group revealing his impatience.
"Ah, come on, 'Beak..."
"Yeh, let us enjoy the time."
Bird's narrowed gaze was ignored by twins and he look at Soundwave, "Lazerbeak, have no worry. Calm and relax."
"No thanks. Did so outside. No fun in Autobot base- Oh, even you, brother?!" He glanced at Buzzsaw under the streaks of water almost melting from relaxation, "A twin you are... Ravage, I wash my servos of."
They had found a perfect place to spend their day and would most likely return there in the future. It was in a short distance from Iacon, deeper in Autobot territories, yet hidden from the owners of the land due to its location. The Prime, as promised, had not questioned their leave, so Ironhide showed the way out, thankfully, avoiding busy corridors and the main exit of the base. That was one more delay before the soon and compulsory entrance in the surrounding of Autobots. Tomorrow, they would have to receive their energon ration in alongside with 'Bots... But that was tomorrow.
"You don't have servos, Lazah- Ah! Watch the ears!" Ratbat jumped in the air away from the bubble mess, the ones shining on her the same click sliding down at younglings. Kids they were, that making impossible to ignore a chance to make some trouble. With regards to Soundwave's high position, they used to have a personal washing rank. A real luck. Now, however, their small crowd stood in female washing ranks of Autobot base. Except Moonracer, no Autobot femme was present. They made sure that the medic had already left for today, so the space of washing ranks was all under their use and the twins, once again returning to the joyful childhood, wondered how many bubbles would be required to fulfill that place...

In the corridors of female area, with a pile of cloths in her servos Moonracer was walking in the direction of Soundwave's quarters but a foreign sound reached femme's audios and made her stop. She was by washing rank's door where the sound of washing liquid muffled laugher coming from behind. Different voices mixing together with loudness of running liquid and splashing created echos, that were louder from shortening distance... And now, close to the door Moonracer froze, but curiosity and the wish for proof dragged her further. Using a click to rethink her next actions, the femme did push the panel and slowly entered the room. Inside the sounds were now hitting the walls, yet laugher, so recognizable, was now easy to suit its owners. She walked further and did not believe her audios catching a female voice she had never heard.
No... It couldn't be-. Or could it?..
Moonracer missed passing several rows and her slow walking stopped at the view.
"Gotch you!"
"Ah! Wait! Soundwave-!"
Not having seen her approach tall dark blue-armored femme stood her back to the intruder. She reached and grabbed the laughing mechling, who pretended to struggle from her grip, as his red-armored twin, having slipped into a puddle of bubbles, was trying to catch his brief between his own laughs. The Autobot femme's sight caught the group of beast too. They were watching the mess, obviously having face an unwelcomed water attack themselves, Ratbad flitting around, Lazerbeak with bright narrowed optics trying to ignore the bubble mess frown at his helm.
That all was until Ravage felt the newcomer.
The panther stood up, his optics stuck on Moonracer's figure. Her blue optics caught the beast's gaze, his movements - harsh at first, then momently gaining the full control of his massive body. Ravage's posture was enough for others to notice the Autobot as well, and only a second later the game was stopped when Soundwave and twins met Moonracer's look too. The neutral femme straightened up meeting blue optics. Rumble kept by her side his own ones wide on the other femme, his twin, still sitting in the floor, having the same expression. In a complete silence, Moonracer watched Soundwave's unmasked faceplate, her features just a moment ago wearing the brightest smile of joy. Now - a frozen expression, just optics shined with a slightly brighter light.
Two femmes faced each other, sound of steaming washer being loud in that silence.
The calm amusement Moonracer did not reveal for a reason looked same as Soundwave's awaiting, confusion-hiding look. Time seemed to have stopped for that moment. However, it somehow was not as tensioned as it could be...
Buzzsaw nervously gulped, his gaze moving between both femmes. Bird knew his twin's thought - 'How could we make such a foolish mistake.' - but something needed to be said.
"We assumed... That you would no longer need washing ranks for today..."
Moonracer's optics flinched and she gave the flyer a short look, "I don't. Just- the dryers are broken..." She looked in the direction of the machines and added with an ironic smile, "No one has used the place for a long time..." Then she suddenly remembered the reason of her presence, "I... I thought you might need the towels. Thought you were in your room but- Ehm, well... My apologise... I will leave you now." Femme's optics left Soundwave's and she gave a small respectful nod turning to leave.
"Moonracer-"
Moonracer stopped, frame freezing when she heared her name, which with a lack of insurance left one's vocalizer, and looked back.
Soundwave hesitated, that could be noticed, yet the moment skipped fast and her optics, shining with a friendly light, Moonracer wouldn't have expected, she spoke.
"...Thank you."
A honest smile came for reply, "Any time, Soundwave." Moonracer left, placing the towels near the driers. But the group kept still for longer.
"So..." the yello-opticed bird carefully started, younger twins' helms flinching in Soundwave's direction, " You did want to start changes. Then, I guess, it's a good thing?"
"That's a desaster."
And so Buzzsaw signed, "Lazer-"
"Catastrophy."
"Here you go again... Soundwave?"
Soundwave did no move, still looking at the space where Moonracer stood. Under the watchful gases of others she thought for a click, for two. And gave a short amused laugh, confusing all of them.
"Guess... It could be worse."
Buzzsaw blinked, Lazerbeak protested, "But-"
"Won't you agree that, when things happen themselves, it sometimes is the best way out, Lazer?"
This time the condor decided to keep silent.

Yes. It FINALLY happened. But, as these moments are usually the most fun, she will have her 'first' talks with more bots in a while... How long will it take EVEN I don't know yet...
REWIEVS! :))))))))))
