FF: YO PEOPLE! I am back! So here's the sequel to "friends?" It's five years later, Flare is 21 and it's past the mission city attack. I bet you all can guess what gonna happen but still…Enjoy it!

S: oh, we're starting?

FF: SHH! You're not in this scene! Shoo! *Shoves her away* Have fun!

*Yawn*

Flare stretched, relishing the feeling of her systems warming up after awakening. Yawning again, she glanced around and spotted Ironhide, who was sleeping peacefully.

She giggled to herself, the expression of contentedness on his face lit up her day. She could still remember how he looked like that the day he proposed.

FLASHBACK!

"Hi Hide!" Flare greeted cheerfully.

"Flare…I need to ask you something. Something important." He said nervously.

"Um…okay." She said confusedly. She sat down on a small chair in Ironhide's room.

Ironhide tensed. I hope I remember how to do this. He anxiously thought. He had spent hours researching and practicing how to say it.

He bent down on one knee, placed his hand over his spark, took Flare's hand, and asked, "Flare…Will you marry me?"

Flare froze and stared at him in shock. Her optics became glazed and far away.

Ironhide felt hurt. Did he do it wrong? Did she not-

"YES!" Flare shrieked, enveloping him in a glomp. "YES! YES! YES!"

Hide yelped in surprise and toppled over. Realizing what she said, he leaped up and hugged her back fiercely.

END OF FLASHBACK!

Flare sighed in bliss, wreathed in memories. That had been the happiest day of her life.

Well, second happiest day. The first was when they were actually married.

They did the first half Cybertronian style. The two would stand apart and reveal their sparks, the most vulnerable position ever. This gesture showed their willingness of injury just to show their passion for each other. If the couple's love was pure, the sparks would glow brightly and a small beam would connect the two, showing the strength of their bond.

When Flare and Ironhide did so, the energy that flowed across to each other was so powerful they stumbled, their sparks, glowing so brightly to the point of being blinding.

For the second half, they did it Earth style: the kiss, (the second-half of the Cybertronian way lost due to the war.)

Flare giggled to herself, remembering what had happened a little while afterwards the wedding.

Sonya was dating Ratchet, though he was very shy about their relationship.

Electra was getting closer to Jazz, (even though Bee was very protective of his adoptive sister.) Rumors were running wild about the pair.

Also, Prowl, Jolt, Bluestreak, and Wheeljack had joined the battle on Earth.

Flare stared into the distance, thinking about her new friends and life.

Very subtly, Flare felt the sickening feeling creep back. Panicked, she dashed to a trash bin and waited in agonizing anticipation of the retching that was sure to follow.

Ratchet had said that due to her organic origins, some diseases would transfer into her still. This was most likely the flu. She had felt like this for some time, almost two months since the feelings first started.

Stupid illness… Flare snarled to herself. Must be prolonged cause of my form.

Once the pain and nausea went away, she rinsed her mouth and took a shower.

When finished, she felt a bit better, and decided to let Ironhide sleep in.

She walked outside into the hallway and silently shut the door. As Flare walked down to the medbay for her check-up, (since she was sick she needed them,) a terrifying idea popped into her head.

What if…?

Could it be…?

She didn't know.

FF: OOOOH! Exciting! Hope ya liked! and please if you could…REVIEW! XD
