AN: This is the special story during Season 2 ^^
Miko, SweetStar, and Arcee came back from the roof to find Elena crafting something.
"What she is doing?" asked Miko.
"I don't know," said Ratchet. "First, she was passing through Star Computer and then she went for shopping and now there. By the way Arcee, I need you to check this place for me."
"Got it." she said leaving girls alone.
"Elena..."started Miko. "I first like to say...Are you even listening."
"Huh? what?" asked Elena.
"I take that she didn't." said SweetStar.
Miko looked bit close what she was doing. There was a lot of paper, a lot of colorful paper. And by Color I mean pink, red, purple kinds of color. There was also glue, different color of glitters, scissors, shape cutters. All you need to make cards. Miko looked bit the shapes of the shape cutters and notice there was a lot of heart shapes.
"Elena, The Valentine's day is still way ahead." she said.
"What's that?" asked SweetStar.
"What? You never told them about these things?" asked Miko from Elena. Elena sighs and lets her work be.
"They're middle of the war. Even if there were three years of pause I didn't want to bother them, with earth's traditions. So, instead, I made everyone nice cup of energon with screw- and lug-nuts."
"Oh that why you have made those?" asked SweetStar. "I have start wonder when you would make it again. But still what is this Valentine's day?"
"Well, Valentine's day is the day of love." started Miko, while sitting down.
"That's when people will buy gifts for their loved ones."
"Or like in your home in Tokyo, girls make or buy chocolate for their boyfriends, family members or friends." said Elena.
"How you know?" asked Miko.
"I watch TV. Plus I read it," said Elena. "Then of course then there's White day, when the guys will buy something for the girls, for saying 'Thank you for the chocolate'."
"Okay..." said SweetStar. "How is here?"
"Well, Here it doesn't matter who buys or makes anything. The fact is you show how much you love that someone? Even the simple card will do." said Miko.
"And it can be even made for family member or friend?" asked SweetStar.
"Yes." said both.
"Hmmm...that sounds a bit like our Day of SweetSparks." said SweetStar.
"A what?" asked Miko.
"It's Valentine's day on Cybertron." explained Elena.
"Yeah. Well, we once call it the day of Spark-merge, but it gave the wrong idea some people and it didn't fit for young ones."
"Why?" asked Miko. Elena Was turning into red since she had pretty sure guess
"Miko..." she said gloomily. "That's when they..." she whispered the rest into her ears.
"WHAT?! NO WAY!" she yelled. Elena had to lay down for just thinking she actually explain it to her, while SweetStar felt so embarrassed.
"I told you that's why we change the name!" she said.
"Oh, okay," said Miko. Elena still needed to recover from the shock. "When you had that?"
"I'm afraid I don't remember. We haven't had any of these holidays since the war started," said SweetStar sadly.
"Oh...sorry to hear that." said Miko.
"Well, I figure it out." said Elena.
"You did it?" asked both.
"Why else you think I have these things here." she said pointing all the thing on the table.
"Are you saying, you're making cards for the day of SweetSparks?" asked Miko.
"Ah, dip dip dip. Not so loud!" said Elena. "It's going to be a surprise for everyone."
"So, you won't tell me?" said SweetStar.
"All I will say it's in this week..." said Elena. "But don't tell anyone," she said before SweetStar was going to squeal.
"Okay," she said before leave by making slide by her to her wheelchair. Miko still was there.
"Can I do too?" she asked.
"Sure. That's why I got lots of these things. You can tell boys too." said Elena.
"Great. When is this day?"
"let's see... about in... three days."
"That quick?"
"Be lucky it's not tomorrow," said Elena. "Try make a card for everyone in one day."
"Is that what you're going to do?" asked Miko.
"Yes." said Elena.
"Well, let's do this, then." said Miko.
The thing is Elena also had other plans for this day of SweetSparks, but she wasn't sure should she tell it, for kids, since they didn't know it.
Next day, Kids where with Elena in her training room making cards for the day of the SweetSparks. Jack and Raf liked the idea too, when they heard that Cybertron also had a quiet similar holiday on earth, even if it was different day and but still to cheer their Autobot friends why not. And since it's so supposed to be secret they decide to make it somewhere where Autobots won't come and that would Elena's training room. Everybody has been thinking who to give a card. Jack was making for Optimus, Arcee, Ratchet, and Bumblebee. Miko was going to make for Bulkhead, WheelJack, Arcee, SweetStar and Optimus. Rafael and Elena were going make for every Autobot and SweetStar. There was a lot of crafting going on that That even sometimes, One of the Autobots came to ask what they were doing, but they only answered that it would be a surprise. Well, SweetStar sure knew the reason but decided not to bother them much, unless she came to give them some snack.
While grafting cards, Miko notice that Elena was making another card and it was a big one. It was like a huge pink paper arc with a red heart in the center.
"Who is that for?" she asked.
"Umm..." said Elena and stopped her work. "This... um..."
"Is it for someone Autobot?" asked Raf.
"Well, yes... I mean..."
"Oh, I get it," said Miko. "You're playing cupid here."
"What?" asked Elena. "Please, Why would I... I mean... I'm no..."
"No Way!" said Jack. "You are. With Autobots?"
Elena starts to turn red now. Kids came a bit closer her to listen well who she was writing.
"Oh, Let me guess, It's Arcee." said Miko.
"Hey!" said Jack.
"What she is only girl bot here." said Miko.
"SweetStar is a girl too." said Raf.
"Yeah, but she is so young."
"Actually, she is older then you think," said Elena. "Stars just look bit younger than others, but they can live way longer than others."
"Oh," said Miko. "But I still say it's Arcee."
Elena rolled her eyes for that. She either won't get some peace to finish the card if she doesn't tell them, she just needs to make sure it will they can be trusted.
"Fine. I'll tell," said Elena. "But you must promise not to speak about this ever. If Cons would know about this, they might use it against us."
"Would they?"
"Jack, Megatron loaded his ship with dark energon, not just re-power it, if not also get rid us. He even tried to use me against Orion Pax, to decode Iacon file, when he was there," said Elena. "I bet my Star powers, for that he would be ready use any weakness he finds from us. Even this relationship."
"Okay, we got it," said Miko. "No talking about it. At least not during the missions." Elena looked while on a teenage girl. "Fine, not at all."
"Good." said Elena."And yes. It's Arcee." she said.
"Knew it!" said Miko.
"Then who is the other?" asked Raf. In This Elena was turning red again.
"Oh, oh. Let me guess..."said Miko. "Well, it can't be CliffJumper."
"No, because he is dead," said Elena. "And he was like a big brother to her."
"Oh."
"Bumblebee?" asked Raf.
"He is also like a brother to her." said Elena.
"Oh I got now, WheelJack." said Miko.
"No, He is a jerk," said Elena. "Besides..." she said when she started to play with her hair. "...She told me once she...had a crush on this 'bot' for a while now since she came to earth."
"Oh, okay. Let me think..." said Miko and was so going to guess who. "Bulkhead?"
"You know, I slapped you for that before. The answer is no," said Elena.
"Ratchet?" asked Raf. Girls went all 'eww' for that.
"No! He is like an uncle to everyone," said Elena.
"It's Optimus," said Jack. All three looked at him. "What? He only one left," he said.
"You have been aware of this, haven't you." said Elena.
"Well...yes." he admitted.
"Dude! You knew there was "Bot romance" going on here and you didn't tell!" yelled Miko. Everyone was lucky the room was sound proof.
"I didn't know it first." said Jack.
"Okay... what give you away?" asked Elena.
"The way she looked at him when she brings me here," he said. "After she transforms she looks where he is. And she doesn't find him she sighs, but when she does she stay looking at him."
Elena had to sigh for that. Maybe she should have told them. Well, maybe for Jack, since Arcee is his guardian.
"So?" asked Miko.
"So what?" she asked.
"How does it feel, that your dad has a girlfriend?" said Miko.
"Miko!"
"What?" she said.
"It doesn't bother me if that's what you're getting at. They were kinda going out before I start to call him dad," said Elena. That was a good answer.
"So, what you're going to write?" asked Raf.
"Well, I was thinking to write it in their language..."
"Why? Will they know it would be you?" asked Miko.
"That. And because it could be sweeter if Arcee finds it written like that. I think..."
"Can you write it?" asked Jack.
"I have translation program in my arm-pad," said Elena and showed it to them. "I just need to find the way to tell it."
"Well, how hard can it be?" said Miko.
"We're talking about Optimus here," said Elena. "The one who keeps emotions in check. Even the card is the simplest I could do."
"Then write it the simple way," said Jack. "Just 'Happy day of SweetSparks' or something like that."
Elena looked while at the kids before she types the line on translation program to have it Cybertronian language. It wasn't easy to write it, but at least it came well done. After some hours they got all done.
"What we do with all this. We can't go with all these without them to notice it."
"I'll keep them in my room, until the day of SweetSparks." said Elena.
"Are you sure?" asked Jack.
"Trust me. It's not like bots can get there and take something from there," said Elena.
So, they agreed so, All card were held in Elena's room until the Day of SweetSparks. Kids and Elena went back the command center to be with Autobots. Luckily there wasn't to do. Optimus was decoding Iacon file, while Bulkhead was trying to recover with his leg by Miko's and Ratchet's help. Arcee and Bumblebee wherein small patrol, before came the time to take kids home.
In night-time, Elena was still awake in her room. you see even if she had 'Optimus' card to Arcee' ready, she had other plans too for the Day of SweetSaprks for them.
