Watsup?

So, I've been floating around anonymously for a while now, and decided it was time to contribute to the wonderful world of fanfiction.

Here are the important things you need to know.

The events of 'The Elite Guard' through 'Mission Accomplished' did not happen until after 'Transwarp', when Sari disappeared for a few episodes. This time, the Autobots stayed on Cybertron because the 'Cons didn't rear their ugly heads again.

Transformers Animated happened before the happenings of the 2007 movie.

This fic takes place a little before and during Transformers: RotF (Nothing will change much…I think).

Everything else will be explained as the story goes. Don't worry, it will all make sense, promise.

Secrets.

What an irritating way to cover up what they really are.

Lies.

Plain and simple. They had lied for so long now, it had come to feel like a truth to them. To all of them, who were still alive. Everything felt like a dream, a dream that ended a century ago. Only one of them, the youngest of them all, held on to the hope that maybe it had been real. That their missing teammate would return to them one day.

Even he knew it was a foolish and unrealistic dream.

Their leader had sent out the transmission, knowing that there were others out there. They were not disappointed. Few responded, but it was better than nothing.

Still, weeks after the small group of fellow Autobots arrived, the yellow youngling waited, hoping beyond hope that maybe, just maybe, she would come back to him. He was forced to retreat to his charge's garage, with a broken spark.

How could he have been so foolish?

Then, she was just there. Not a ghost, as he had confirmed; breathing, moving, solid, alive.

She was alive!

So much had changed. There was a century of separation to make up for. Secrets that needed to be told, and truths that must be revealed, trust that needed to be earned again.

But first, he needed to tell her.

Before she disappeared again.

Forever.

Prologue = Short chapter.

No complaining.

Merci.
