A/N: alright! Here we go, day dreaming for weeks, now published. Hope I don't mess this up.

A man, his wife, and their child are walking out in the park, on a late summer night.

"Aww, look at lil' River! She's fascinated with the fire flies! It's adorable," The woman said, the woman's name was Emily, she had raven black hair, and blue eyes. River was baby girl that had red hair and blue eyes.

"that it is," the man said, leaning over and tickling their daughter a little, the baby girl giggled and grabbed at her fathers finger. Her fathers name was Luke, and he had red hair, and brown eyes. "I've never regretted refusing the doctors keeping our child for over-night observance. She's strong, in a way born a fighter. She didn't need all that medical stuff."

"Just like her father." Emily said. suddenly there seemed to be tons of fireflies swarming around them, they swirled this way and that, all in unison, before taking shape of one solid being in front of them, it was giant, and very robot like. Luke stood protectively in front of his family, Emily was worried for her husband, but his willingness to protect made her love him all the more.

"do not worry, I'm not here to harm you," the giant being said, "my designation is allspark."

"how do I know I can trust you?" Luke said harshly, but still, he felt as if he could trust allspark.

"I am here to give a gift of sorts." Allspark said, "may I hold her?"

For some reason Emily felt compleat trust in Allspark, and handed her daughter to the giant. Allspark took her gently, and held her close to her face. "River Lily Heartston, you will go through many hardships, and changes. But you will not be alone. You will do great things, and become something great, when you have changed you will no longer be known as River, instead you will be known as Starfire. I have given you this gift to help you." A shimmer turned into a necklace, it looked like a sapphire surrounded by silver.

"Sparks!" Chirped little River, as the necklace was put on her. It was her first word.

"yes little one, you may forever call me sparks." Allspark said gently, and gave River back to her parents. "Be sure she always has it on her, never take it off, it will save her in the times to come."

"what are you?" Luke asked.

"I am a creator of a race known as cybertronians." Allspark said before disappearing
