Prologue

A small child creeped from the foliage, slowly making her way to the crash site. There were big pieces of metal everywhere and in the middle of the crash site was a pod with a gaping hole leading inside. The little girl looked around, making sure that there are no threats nearby and she walked up to the pod and looked inside and found a small robot. She has dents and scrapes all over her and her eyes were blinking blue lights. The little immediately made her way up and examined the damage. She shook her head and she turned to leave but before she can leave, the robot's head turned and look at her.

"P-please h-help m-me, I-I n-need e-energon….", then the robot fell unconscious. The little girl frowned, not knowing what that meant when suddenly, it clicked in her mind. She did not question how she suddenly knew but she found herself going to a nearby cave that she did not know exist, being lead by an unknown force. She plucked the smallest crystals and a bright light surrounded the crystals, turning them into little blue cubes. The girl ran back to the robot starting pounding on her head.

"Wake up! I got energon!" She screamed as loudly as she can and she saw the robot's eyes flickering blue again. The robot groaned as she took all of her remaining strength to sit up and drink up the energon hungrily.

"What's your name?" The little girl asked the robot.

"A-actually, I don't have a name…" She whispered the last part, her head hanging low.

"Chin up girl! I'll give you one!" The little girl frowned in concentration and thought long and hard. Suddenly, she jumped up with a bright smile on her face.

"I'll name you Foliage Green because I found you in the foliage!" The robot thought about it and ran the words over her glossa several times. She smiled and her optics shined brighter than before.

" What's your name?" Foliage asked the little human femme. As soon as those words slipped out of her mouth, the little girl stopped celebrating and hung her head low.

"So you also don't have a name?" Foliage asked the little girl in the quietest voice she could muster. The little girl shook her head sadly. Foliage though over and over again of a name for her savior.

After a while, she decided to scan one of the trees closest to her and she learned that it was called a maple tree. She went on what the inhabitants of this planet call "the internet" and found that you can make maple syrup from maple sap. Foliage smiled at her chosen name, seeing how well it suited her little savior. Her hair was the same color as her chosen name and her smile is as sweet as her chosen name.

"Little savior?" The girl perked up at her new nickname.

"I think the name Maple Syrup will suit you, don't you think?" Maple smiled instantly as she heard her name.

"Thank you Foliage!"
