So, this is a sequel to my story, Transformers: Direwolves. It's based off two OCs and their mates, with two other couples as well. Hope you like it.

Things at the Valley Pack had gone peacefully since the fight. Optimus was in the clearing teaching Rodimus the basics of hunting. Arcee watched them, smiling. Op chased his son, Ultra Magnus to his brother's side.

"Nice to see you about, Op." Optimus greeted.

"Well, the pups are restless at this age. Ultra Magnus also seems to be able to calm Rodimus down." Op replied humorously.

Rodimus tackled Magnus, yelping when the older pup pinned him. Rodimus flashed a toothy grin and submitted. Only then did Magnus release him.

"Good job son. Maybe a Prime's son isn't that strong." Op teased.

Rodimus growled and tried to overpower Magnus.

"Great. Now they won't stop fighting."

"Oh, they're just playing, Optimus. You should try playing with Op." Elita suggested, walking over.

"We're adult wolves, Elita. We'll be fine. Arcee, why don't we go on a trip?" Optimus asked.

"A trip? Sure. Who's all going?" Arcee questioned.

"Us, Soundwave and his mate, and the two new arrivals."

Arcee nodded and went to talk to them. Soundwave and Fasttrack agreed, now just the new wolves in the pack. Arcee walked up to them, the white wolf with some red and blue stepped up.

"Sup, dawg? What do you need?" The white wolf asked in a gangster manner.

"Jazz, don't be so rude. She's the female alpha." A gold and black wolf interrupted.

"Aw, come on, Prowler. I'm not as formal as you." Jazz whined.

"It's Prowl. Not Prowler. Sorry, Arcee." Prowl sighed.

"It's fine. Optimus and I are going on a trip. He would like you both to come since you're new here." Arcee told him.

"If you can handle Jazz." Prowl stated, not as a joke, but as the truth.

"If you can stand me, Prowler, anyone can." Jazz smiled.

Prowl growled, but decided to not argue over his name again. Arcee chuckled and went back to her mate to help him prepare for the trip.

"Everyone is coming. Why is it you wanted Soundwave there too?" Arcee asked her mate.

"Soundwave only hangs out with Fasttrack. I thought it would do him some good to get out." Optimus replied.

"Fair enough. Fasttrack can help him if he feels overwhelmed. How is your mom?"

"She's better. Triflex has been good to her. I believe with his help, she can move on from dad."

Arcee noticed the sad and haunted look in his face at the last part. Maybe this trip would help him as well.
