Italics mean thoughts, just sayin'.

The Autobots were unusually quiet as they sat in the cockpit of Omega Supreme, heading to Cybertron to celebrate their victory against Megatron and the Decepticons. In Omega's front window was the Elite Guard mother ship, carrying all the imprisoned Decepticons, including their leader, Megatron.

The Autobots, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Sari Sumdac, and Jazz were all sitting silently studying the floor thinking about their old friend who joined the Well of All Sparks.

Prowl, a sleek, black and golden cyber ninja gave his spark to save Detroit and all who inhabit it; people and bots alike. He also saved Optimus by pulling him out of the All Spark shield. Prime was sure of it, although he didn't quite understand how, but he understood why, because they were friends. Prowl was kind, caring, calm and gentle. He cared for all living things more than any Autobot, and now…

"It's how he would've wanted to go." Optimus broke the silence.

"Yeah…" was all Bulkhead could say. The big, green bot was thinking about his home at the energon farm. He kind of missed the old days before boot camp, wrangling cattle bots and getting his servos dirty. He could finally show Bumblebee, his best friend around, even though he would probably find it boring.

"It's all my fault." said Jazz, "If I could've stopped 'em… we could've found another way…" He sighed. Jazz was also a cyber-ninja. He is also part of the Elite Guard, but he would rather be on Earth than with loud mouth, big chinned Sentinel Prime. He always liked Earth, it's culture and its people. He also had a thing for music since Sari told him that jazz was a type of music.

"It's not your fault, Jazz… It was Prowl's… choice." Sari choked. She couldn't believe Prowl was gone. She'll never forget the time when he taught her some ninja moves, or when her, Prowl, and Bumblebee went camping and Prowl fell victim to the Space Barnacles. Wait… Bumblebee? She thought. He hasn't spoken since we took off. Sari looked over to her left and there he was, as quiet as a mouse. He was leaning against his seat, looking down at his hands that were laced together and resting gently on his lap. He looked like he was sleeping, but Sari knew Bumblebee too well, he was deep in thought.

It was true,Bumblebee was deep in thought, and, to be honest, a little sad, even though he didn't admit it, and didn't want to. He always thought Prowl was a boring, no good, nature loving bot, but after he gave his spark and remembering the good, and bad, times they had together, Prowl is one of the bravest bots he knows… or… knew. He looked up slowly, up enough so he could see the sad faces of his friends. Just then he had a thought, a thought that made him kind of angry. He stood up slowly and vented a huge, nervous sigh.

"Prowl wouldn't like this."

All the other bots looked up at him, confused, and a little surprised.

"Prowl wouldn't want us to be sad for him. Sari's right, it was Prowl's choice, and I don't think being depressed and sad for the rest of our lives is going to bring him back. Prowl would want us to keep living our lives happily, and freely, that's why he sacrificed himself. I know that everyone is sad that he's gone… including… me… but that doesn't mean we should blame ourselves. Earth taught me that you shouldn't grieve when you lose some one, you should celebrate on what they accomplished and remember the good times you had. For in those memories, we live on."

Everyone sat there, their mouths were open and their optics stared at Bumblebee for the speech he had just given. After a while of taking it in, Optimus stood up, he walked over to Bumblebee with a blank expression, knelt down in front of him, and hugged him. Bumblebee, though a little startled, hugged him back, clenching his fists that rested on his boss' back. Sari ignited her jetpack and slowly moved towards the two bots, and hugged their arms. Bulkhead came and knelt down as well and wrapped his arms around both Bumblebee and Optimus lightly, trying not to squish them together. After a few seconds, Jazz came in and knelt behind Sari and joined the hug. That left Ratchet and Arcee. Optimus looked behind Jazz and saw the two looking at them. Optimus stretched out a servo and smiled a little.

Arcee didn't know anything about Prowl, she never talked to him, and barley looked at him when he was alive, but she walked up and took Optimus' servo and knelt down beside him, she looked at Ratchet with Optimus. Soon everyone turned their heads and looked at Ratchet; Sari had tears around her eyes. Her techno-organic mouth formed a small smile. Ratchet relaxed his shoulders and managed a quick, sad, smile. Arcee reached out her servo. Ratchet took it and knelt down, embracing the hug with his team.

"For Prowl." Bumblebee whispered.

"For Prowl." The rest agreed.
