It was no secret to anybody that Ratchet didn't like Miko very much. Raf and Jack had been by far his favorite. But she wasn't the person she used to be. Oh no. She was so much better. She grew up. No more annoying outbursts, no more following the Autbots into dangerous situations, no more...Mikoness. I guess is the best way to describe it. It was a slow transformation. Sort of. Miko just stopped doing said things one at a time.
First it was the lack of annoying comments or outbursts. Then she stopped following the Autobots completely, hardly looking up when they left for the groundbridge. She started focasing on school, asking Jack for help on rare occasions. She was still into music though, the kind that she describe as 'keeps the heart pumping', but she also found a serious love in acting. Everyone always told her she was a fantasctic drama queen and an even better actress. It showed in her theatre clas grades, she was passing with straight A's. She was already being asked by producers to try out for TV shows and movie. After she graduated of course.
She still had that...gift though. It wasn't like Jack's bravery or even Raf intellegence, but it was just as important. She kept them motivated. Happy even, and on purpose, on their toes. Oh yes she knew what she was doing. Most of the time.
Nowadays when he wasn't working Ratchet would just stand and watch Miko, not in a stalkerish way, more of a curious way. She sure knew how to keep the others laughing, whether it was a funny face, a random choice of words, her actions, or just her, the Autobot medic wasn't sure.
He chuckled silently to himself when he saw Jack lean over onto Miko and whispered something into her ear, watching Raf and then chuckleing. He didn't miss the slight pink marks splash aross her face as the two humans laughed about something.
A few seconds later she caught him staring at them.
Mockingly she widened her eyes and pursed her lips like a fish on crack.
"YOU BE CREEPIN'!"
