Zirconia: I thought this up at the midnight showing of Revenge of the Fallen but just now got around to actually posting it online.

"Sam…run!"
My last words seemed to echo as everything around me went silent, then everything went black.
When I opened my optics I heard a very familiar voice.
"Optimus…"
…It couldn't be.
"Elita?"
"Optimus!"
It was Elita. Then, if she's here…that means-
"Elita!" My hand cupped the side of her face, "You're-"
"Fine." She interrupted me, "I'm okay."
"You're…" I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. My love was dead, offline, gone. But I was with her now, we were finally together after all these years of being apart. But I had to know…
"Elita, how-?" I couldn't bring myself to finish the question but she answered.
"Starscream came back to Cybertron and forced us prisoners to build a replica of the Allspark. After that, he used our sparks to bring it to life…"
I could see the pain in her optics after she finished speaking.
"Elita…"
"All I could think about was you, Optimus." Her arms wrapped around my waist, her small femme form hugging me. I knelled down on one knee and embraced her to my chest, holding her tight.
"Optimus, it's not your time, my love."
"What?"
"Your stay here is only temporary right now. The human child, Sam is going to bring you back."
"But, Elita…a life without you…it isn't a life at all."
"My love, I'm always with you. Our love will never die."
"Elita, I love you so." I brought her lips to mine and she shared a long passionate kiss before I spoke once more, "Never forget that, Elita."
"I'll always be with you, Optimus. Remember that. My love will help protect you, and keep you strong."
It was then when I felt myself being pulled away. I gripped my love's hand but remembered that it wasn't my time to go yet.
"I'll be waiting for you, Optimus, my love."
"Elita…"
I opened my optics and I was back on Earth. In a desert.
Everything after that seemed to go in fast motion. Jetfire's parts, my defeating the Fallen.
Standing on the carrier ship, I was looking at the sky as Sam spoke to me.
'Elita, wait for me.'
