Lizzy had had feelings for the mech since she first seen him. She knew it was strange, unnatural, weird, and so much more. Let's not forget about how young she was. Only 21 he had to be at least twice that. She didn't care though.

Lizzy was in college. She had four good friends: Jessie, Alex, Ann, and some weird goth girl who swears her name is Death. They all had apartments fairly close to campus. Alex, who was also a bit goth, shared one with Death. Ann and Jessie had another. Lizzy was forced to rent her own because of some stupid only two people per apartment rule. It was never really a problem though because they were all right next to each other and they would hang out for several hours after school at the NEST base on an internship. That was where her crush developed.

Everything was good for the girls until Lizzy almost had to move. The government internship was volunteer so there was no income. She couldn't afford the place anymore. Her friends helped her out as long as they could by having her clean and such for them but there is only so much that can be cleaned.

Death was a creative girl and decided to make Lizzy pull off a 'stunt' to earn some money. She talked to the other three and they all agreed. They were going to give her 1,500 dollars each if she did it. The total would be enough to keep the apartment for a while. All she had to do was kiss Optimus Prime.

"If I just kiss him on the cheek does it count?" Lizzy's whole face was red. They all knew how she felt about him and they idea of kissing him was almost too much for her.

" No. Real kiss. On the lips. And it can't be like one second either." Death was rather proud of herself for think of this idea. In her mind she had just had the best idea since sliced bread.

"9,000 dollars and all I have to do is" Lizzy swallowed hard and exhaled. When she spoke again he voice came out a soft whisper. "Kiss Optimus Prime." She cleared her through embarrassed at how her voice had cracked. "Alright I'll do it." She held out her hand and they sealed the deal.

After classes the all went to the base as they always did. Death had collected the money from the other three and was holding on to it until they got there. Just to make everything so much better for Lizzy today of all days was when the important government people came in. She sighed as she got out of the car. They walked on to the base, all but Lizzy giggling softly.

Lizzy walked up to Prime and stood beside him for a bit listening to him talking to the importants. When he finished his thought he looked down at her. She motioned her hand for him to bend down.

"Do you need to speak with me Lizzy?" The red and blue mech stared down at her completely unaware of what she needed. When she motioned for him to bend down again he did bringing his face even with hers.

Right away she grabbed hold of his cheek plates so that if he moved she would get hurt and she knew that would be enough for him not to. Right as he was about to question her she kissed him and held if for two or three seconds. Ironhide made something of a fox-whistle noise and all of Lizzy's friends burst out laughing. Lizzy let go, her face red as Prime's flame are, turned to walk to her friends

Optimus shook his head. "That was pathetic."

Lizzy stopped dead in her tracks furious that he would say such a thing. She spun around her hands in fist. "What?!"

The Prime repeated himself in an entirely flat tone of voice. "That was pathetic. If you are going to kiss someone at least do it good."

"And what exactly was wrong with how I kissed you?!"

"I'll show you." Before Lizzy had time to register what he said his hand was around her pulling her back towards him. Then he kissed her, and not the just touching lips thing Lizzy had done. Optimus was full out making-out with this little human who was so much younger than he. He must have had her there for at least a minute. He let go and nodded his head once. "That is how you kiss." He stood up and looked back at the men he was talking to before his kissing lesson. "Now where was I...?"

Lizzy walked over to her friends her face even redder than before and in a slight daze. Death held out the money. "No thanks. I don't want it." The money was given back to the original owners and they went about doing their jobs. Lizzy the whole time thinking of how he had kissed her. It was the best lesson in kissing she ever had.
