Author Note: Hello, everyone! This a new and rewritten version of Femme Time. The first time I wrote this was for fun and nothing more. So I wasn't too serious about keeping it update. But recent events and talks with friends had me rethinking about this story and the femmes. We don't get enough of them either in the TV show and comics along with the games. So, one of friends mentioned that I should use this story as means to have them out there. Which is what I plan to do.
Now I gone over the list of femmes in the Transformers universe for both Autobots and Decepticons. Plus some humans too. Also this will have universal elements from the G1 series, Transformers (Movies) along with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron. Now I do hope all you guys and girls do enjoy this remade story.

Prologue
It amazed her that the only thing that stood between her and dark cold unforgiving space was a thin sheet of glass as she look out through it. Darkness surrounding around her vision only to be pierced by an unbelievable blue and green planet that look so small compared to the giant one they were passing by.
But this planet called Earth was now being called their new home by Optimus Prime himself. Who had ask any remaining Autobots to come to this planet to join him and his team on this new planet governed by a sentiment race called humans. Still it had her wondering just what they would find on this planet and just how well the humans would be willing to accept them among their homeworld.
Shaking her helm, she turn away from the window now breaking from her thoughts and worries as she look back to the observation deck. The ship they accompanied was an old colonize ship from Cybertron Golden Age when their race still traveled the stars in search of new planets. Now this old ship had been turn more into a rescue ship then a colonize ship, surveying her and her team as they traveled from Cybertron to Earth. Picking up Autobots scattered among the stars or on their way to earth following Prime orders.
But even then the ship still felt empty with many rooms and quarters empty reminding her just how many of their kind had been killed off during the war. Even now as her sapphire blue optics look over each and every one Autobot. She wonder if their race would truly be able to survive. Turning her helm, she glance over her shoulder to stare once more into space not noticing a large blue and yellow mech come up towards her till he was by her side.
"Worried?" He asked causing her to turn look his way quickly.
"A little." She said letting her optics fall upon him taking in every inch of this mech.
He was tall, taller than her with broad shoulders and chest with long -slight powerful arms sprouting from his shoulders with wide servos attached to them. Full-sized fingers that could easy crush a con's helm with no trouble whatsoever. With extensive formidable legs that coming out from his modish hips giving off the feeling of that he could easy stomp a bot to death if need too. His face was an average looking with neither too big nor too small nose. Lips that seemed to stay in a constant frown on his face. Light blue optics that stared at her and seemed too blazed with an inner fire for battle.
His armor colored light sky blue with burning golden yellow on his shoulders, arms, legs and midsection. With a circular visor on top of his of dark golden yellow helm. He stood tall and proud, holding himself as any soldier would yet carried a wariness and caution that came from millennia of battles. 'He looks so different from last time I saw him. Yet he acts and talks as if nothing has changed him.' She thought to herself letting her optic covers closed as she thought of vorns long since passed. Her processor bringing up the memory of when Megatron had shot him right between his chest and shoulder making him fall to the ground as he scream out in pain.
That vorns, it still made her shiver under her armor when she remember even after all the battles, missions and fighting it still had a hold on her. Perhaps it was because it was the first time she had seen such violence. And it was the first time the war had touched them. All three of them, when they had called themselves by different names Orion, Dion and Ariel. But things had change for her and for Orion too, or as he was now known as Optimus Prime. Back then, they had believed him to be dead. Killed by Megatron himself with Alpha Trion bringing Optimus and herself back from the dead but not their best friend.
Yet he had survived just like them completely redone and upgraded serving as a soldier among the Autobots. Fighting against the Decepticons whenever and however he could till she had found him among the Pegasus vile with his team. Offering a chance for them to come with her and join what remaining Autobots that had survived on Cybertron on this journey. Dion and his team had immediately agreed.
Now here they were, standing right here in the control deck watching the stars pass by as that blue-green planet grew as they moved closer to it. With silence on between them now as they stood there letting time pass.
"What do you think of this planet called Earth?" Dion asked breaking the silence between them.
"I'm not certain what to think of it." Elita said bringing up her arms crossing them over her chassis now.
"It's organic, right?" Dion said looking at the blue-green planet. Recalling what Optimus had said about this planet and the creatures on it.
He wasn't completely thrilled about living on this organic planet but with Cybertron gone and so far no means to return it back to its former state. They really had no choice but to come to this Earth. He was even less thrilled to know that they would be working with these organic creatures. He had enough dealing with organics after the Arach-seven cluster incident.
"Still it be good to see Orion again." Said Dion looking away from the window over to where she stood.
It had been millennia's since he had seen her and the last time he has seen her the only thought that had been going through his processor was how he had regretted not telling her how he truly felt about her. He had been certain at the time his spark would be joining the Well of all sparks when he had a woken up in a hospital berth in Iacon with a green femme standing over him. It had been her that had upgraded his protoform and outer-armor for the war that had taken hold of Cybertron.
He had tried to find Orion and Ariel after his upgraded had been completed but certain events had derailed him from his mission. Him joining the Autobots learning the ins and outs of fighting and chain of command then fighting the Decepticons both on Cybertron and off. Till he and his team had been sent off planet across the stars till they came into the Pegasus veil were they had been stationed there awaiting orders. But no orders ever came and his team began to get restless. And restless mechs were never a good thing. They had begun to question his orders, their mission and reason why they had remained in Pegasus veil when Cybertron could be in need for them.
He owed Elita-One his life for if she hadn't show up when she did, he was sure that his team would have revolted against him. With his spark truly on its way to the Well of All sparks.
Primus when he realized who she was or more who she had once been. It had taken all he had not to come over to her side. To wrap his arms around her slim protoform and hold her close to his body. To tell her how happy to see she was alive and well. To tell her how much he had hope they would meet again. It had also been a time where he had to paused and take a double look at her.
The upgrade had change her body, yes. No longer was she that thin and small nice looking frame femme with naïve soft blue optics who was once content with just living her life as a deck worker now. But attractive and slim femme who carried an aura of power and tranquil as she walk and talk with soldiers around on the ship. Speaking with them as she was still that dock worker from long ago. Connecting with the common mech and femme.
She still had that small oval face with that small nose and perk lips, colored in a rosy pink and white color. That curvy chassis with those long slender arms with small servos that could hold a gun better than any soldier he had seen. With those rounded hips that sway effortlessly as she walk with strong slight legs that could effortlessly kick down a Decepticons and strike with such accuracy he was sure they could be deadly weapons.
"Yes…it'll be good to see him again." Elita said tilting her helm down as she thought of her lover. Her protoform tensed for just a moment then relax afterwards.
"You worried but not about meeting the humans but rather Orion." Dion said having taken notice of her tenseness just moment earlier.
She lifted up her helm letting her sapphire blue optics stare into his light blue ones now, "It has been a long time since I last see Optimus. I'm…not sure how I should act when I meet him."
Dion blink once then twice, "That the problem?"
Elita optics narrowed a bit, "If you were about to meet your femme whom you haven't seen it over four millennia. You would be just as worried as I am. And wondering if they are still the same femme you last saw."
Dion bark out a laugh, "I doubt it. But then again, I haven't much time for a relationship. So I probably not the best bot on this ship to asked for relationship advice."
A small smile came to her lips, "On the contrary, Dion. Out of everyone here on this ship. You would be honest bot to tell me exactly what you think will happen when Optimus and I meet again."
Dion became quiet after hearing Elita speak now taking a couple of moments to think about what she just said. From where he had heard Elita and Optimus were quite a close couple. They mirrored one other in every which way for their compassion and caring nature to their leadership style. But he had also heard other soldiers that Optimus would spend more time away from Elita then he would be with her. He wasn't sure if it was because of the war or because his feelings for her had possibly fade away over time.
"Truthfully, Ariel? I don't know what to expect for you two. You could meet one other on earth and get that same feeling you had back on that jour when you two realized you had feelings for one another. Or perhaps, nothing will happen." Dion said openly not sure on what could happen between once they meet one other again.
Elita didn't say anything at first just using this moment and silence to think over what he had just said. He spoke true; it had been such a long time since she and Optimus had just spent time with one another or just enjoy one another's presence. It seemed that every time they had chance to spend time with one other. Something always came up be it a Decepticon attack, emergency meeting, or shift that just didn't match up with one other.
"Thank you, Dion. It is something I will think about till we reach earth." Elita said openly taking comfort in the fact that her oldest friend was still his bash and honest self.
"I'm here if you need me." Dion said just an openly with her.
Once again a comfortable silence fell between them as they stood there. Watching the stars slowly pass by. It had just been a couple of seconds before Elita spoke up.
"Dion, why do you still call us by our old names? Why not our new ones?" Elita asked letting her arms fall to her sides.
"Hmm?" Dion snap into attention at hearing Elita question now. Thinking over what she had just asked.
"It all disappear in a moment doesn't it? We all change, Elita. When you think about it, were all different bots. All through our lives and that okay, you know. As long as you remember who you use to be. My protoform may have changed, but I'm still the same mech you know from before just as you are still Ariel. Even if one name has change, even if you're very form has changed. You are still you."
"Then you will keep calling us Orion and Ariel?" Elita asked feeling a sense of belonging and existence now.
It was strange but after dying then bring brought back as Elita-One. A part of her long for her former self. To feel that connection to Ariel, a normal femme with normal problems and dreams who only wish that she and her lover would have a good happy life. Who didn't have to deal with constant problems and threats from the war or having to build up emotional walls as to stop feeling the pain from losing friends, comrades and fellow soldiers in near hopeless battles.
"Ah…that won't be a problem?" asked Dion looking over the rosy pink femme.
Elita turn her helm to him now giving him and in his honest opinion the first real smile since this journey to earth had begun.
"No, I don't think it will."
