Hey guys, I'm back with a new story. A follow-up to my Tranformers Prime fic. Miko is suffering from the psychological effects of what happened but is keeping it to herself not wanting to worry the others. Bulkhead feels that something is wrong, will he be able to help her cope? Can two new friends help her deal?

Disclaimer: Like I said in my last story I don't own Transformers or its characters. I just simply write.

Remembrance

It's been about 7 weeks since the shooting at Jasper High. The funerals were all done and life has returned to somewhat normal. Teddy Bears, Candles and pictures of the slain cover a wall on the north side of the school as students either converse or enter the school to meet friends or to head to class, two in particular stand outside waiting for a friend to show up when a text message comes in.

Not coming in.

Why not

Shrinks didn't cleared me

Still haven't gone?

I have nothing to say to them so why should I go?

Miko you can't just avoid this, it's something we all went through.

I have seen too many shrinks already because of home, the last thing I need is another trying to get into my head to find out nothing's wrong.

Can it hurt to go to one session? I mean if there's nothing wrong with you, You'll be able to come back.

There was a slight pause between the texts then cam a response

Fine, I'll go to one session then that's it. I'm coming back regardless of what they say. Host parents can be so annoying, acting like I'm fraggin helpless.

They're just trying to help Miko, C U Monday I hope.

Yeah, whatever.

"What did she say Jack?"

(sighs) "Miko can be so stubborn, she still refuses to go to the therapist."

"Doesn't she realize that she can't comeback to school without the all clear from them." said Raf

"Yeah, I managed to convince her to go to a session hopefully she follows through."

*Bell rings*

"Come on, we better get to class."

Jasper Health Center

Miko sits in a mahogany wooded room with three chairs and a desk with a receptionist typing away. Looking around she sighs as she waits for the doctor to see her. The door on the opposing wall opens and two teenage girls walk in to the room. Both were tan in color with long straight raven hair at first glance you couldn't tell these two apart but at second glance you could see that their eyes were different colors. One girls eyes were a striking blue like sapphires glinting in the sun. the other girls eyes seemed to change color, at first were an iridescent white with flecks of purple to a foggy whitish blue like a moonstone. Their clothes also looked out of the ordinary as well, the blue eyed girl wore a sand peasant top with a teal corset like add-in with black punk style buckle pants and black boots. In her hair was a brown feather attachment to complete her look. Her twin wore a cross between a cyber goth and Japanese school girl outfit consisting of a knee length grey plaid skirt with pink and blue lines and gray off-the-shoulder sweater cut just below the bust line with a cobalt polo shirt cut off just above the belly but below the sweater. To complete her look was a pair of gray platform boots with just above her ankles and a gray headband with goggles and gray fingerless gloves. They walked over to the receptionist desk to sign in then sat down in two of the chairs. The receptionist got off the phone with the doctor and went back to what she was doing when the doctor stepped out of his office.

"Ms. Nakadai, I'm so glad you finally is able to grace me with your presence."

"It's not by choice believe me."

"Oh come on it's not that bad, it's just a small eval to see if your stable enough to go back to school."

"Whatever" Miko gets up and heads into the office.

"Ok ladies I know you have an appointment but this may take awhile so why don't we all have a group session seeing as ya'll are here for similar reasons."

"Yeah sure, the less time here the better."

"Why is it that you young people have such a negative opinion of therapist?"

"Because you tend to ask a lot of questions that you already know the answer to." said the second girl

The doctor chuckles and leads them in to his office where Miko was near the window looking outside.

"Trying to figure an escape route?"

"If I was I'd be gone right now."

"Why don't you have a seat. Today I would like to have a group session, seeing as the three of you are here for evaluations to go back to school so lets start off with intro's and why are you here?"

"Hello my name is Dr. Phillip Andrews and I am here to lend an open ear to those who need it."

"Hi my name is Sapphire Rainfeather, I am here because of a annual psyche evaluation to return to school." said the girl with the blue eyes

Her twin stood up and introduced herself "My name is Opal Rainfeather and like my sister I'm because of our evaluation."

After she sat down Miko just sat there and introduced herself.

"My name is Miko and I'm here because my host parents and a few others think that I'm an emotional wreck."

"Miko they're just concerned because when they dropped you off at school a old pickup backfired, you screamed, ducked down behind the car and covered your head."

"That's because where I come from cars like that are in the scrap heap being recycled not on the road."

"And the nightmares you've been having?"

"Haven't had one in a week."

"Well according to Alice that's because you haven't slept in a week."

"If Alice would just stop playing mother hen, I would be fine."

"Then she wouldn't be a good host parent now would she?"

"Shouldn't you be paying attention to your other patients?"

"I am, I would like Sapphire to break the ice with how was the tour?"

"Same old, same old. We added a few new cities to the tour, nothing big."

"We were talking about a theme for next season." Opal added

"Really, what's the theme?"

"Rio."

"Rio? As in Rio de Janeiro"

"Yeah but it's still in limbo if that's actually gonna be the theme for next season." said Sapphire

As the three of them talked Miko's mind drifted soon she didn't find herself in Dr. Andrews office but in a therapist office back home and the twins were replaced by her mother.

"What do you mean there's nothing wrong with her. I mean look at her, hair dyed, clothes in all different colors."

"That is the latest trend for youth." the therapist supplied

"It look ridiculous, they look like clowns."

"Mrs. Nakadai we're not here to discuss Miko's fashion sense. We are here to discuss the results of her evaluation. As I stated she is a well-adjusted child considering…"

"Considering what?"

"Considering the fact the you are intentionally ignoring her, while forcing your dreams and aspirations upon your older children, driving them away from you. Miko's drop in her grades and her change of appearance and behavior is simply leads to get some form of attention from you. Not to mention you blaming her for a death that wasn't her fault."

"Her Brother Mako died because she was careless."

"He died because a driver was careless."

"I wish that she had gone after her hat instead of him."

As those words came out she regretted it. She revealed her deepest secret in front of her daughter.

Young Miko ran out of the office with tears in her eyes.

"Mrs. Nakadai…Ms. Nakadai…..Ms. Nakadai"

Everything faded back into Dr. Andrews office.

"Miko is everything alright?"

"What?"

"I asked you if everything is alright because your crying."

Miko lifted her hand to her face and felt the tears. 'why did that just happen?'

"I have to go to the bathroom."

"Sure go right ahead we'll continue when you come back."

Miko got up and left the office. She walked into the bathroom to clean her face, as she was splashing water on her face she could still hear her mother in her head. "Wish she would of gone after it."

Miko choked back a sob as she remembered that session.

"I should of never come here." she wipes her face and turns off the faucet and leaves the bathroom. Instead of heading back to the office she walks out the building and down the street. She makes it to the end of the block before she pulls out her cell phone and calls Bulkhead.

"Hey Miko."

"Hey Bulk, could you come and get me?"

"Session over already?"

"Yeah, didn't say much." she lied

"Well it's a start, atleast your going now. Be there in 20."

"Thanks Bulk"

Miko puts her phone away and waits, shortly after Bulkhead comes with Slash Monkey blaring as she hops in and they take off.

Back at the office they was still waiting for Miko to come back.

"I hope she's alright, I better send Nancy to check on her."

"You actually bought that?" asked Opal

"You think she left?"

"Duh, she's been gone for almost 25 mins. Of course she's gone." responded Sapphire

"Oh dear, well if you two see her again let her know that she still hasn't been cleared to go back to school so she would need to come back."

"Will do doc."

The twins left the office and headed down the street to an seemingly abandoned warehouse and went inside. On the first floor was what looked like a showroom for clothes, the walked into the elevator and went up stairs. The second floor had mannequins and sewing machines, some of the mannequins had the beginnings of designs on them. The third floor contained rows and rows of different fabrics of every color. Finally they reached the top floor where they lived it was a nice penthouse with a kitchenette, aloft where the living room was two bedrooms with a full bath and computers sitting in the office space.

"Can you believe that guy, 'You think she left?" said Sapphire

"I know right? She definitely did not wanna be there." said Opal

"But I hope she's ok though. What made her cry like that?" she added

"Who knows, maybe it would be a good thing if we saw her again."

A/N: so what'd ya think, you know what to do
