Ratchet opened up an emergency ground bridge. He turned towards the portal and waited for the team who had been out to emerge. A moment later Bumblebee, Arcee, and Bulkhead came rushing in, stopping with loud screeches. Just behind was the one he had truly worried about. Optimus Prime. She rolled in, nonchalantly coming to a stop as Ratchet shut off the power to the bridge. He waited a moment as his best friend transformed.

"Welcome back. I hope the mission was a success." The team showed him that each of them had what seemed to be a good amount of energon. "Wonderful. We might not have to run on fumes for another day." Ratchet knew he was being short, but he really didn't care that none of the others could see his humor. Though he didn't know if he could call it humor if no one was laughing.

"Well it is good that we have retrieved the energon, but I think it is time for you to all go and retrieve our human friends." Optimus took the energon from the three Autobots so they could transform and head for the high school. Ratchet turned back to the counsel, inputting knew data from there latest scans. Optimus returned a moment later and joined him at the counsel.

So how was the mission?'

'Alright. Though Bumblebee had a bit of an issue coming up to speed near the end. I would like you to check him over when he gets back. Just to make sure it is nothing serious.

Well then we will have to postpone our ride a little. I was thinking Chili. I hear they have some nice views.' Ratchet looked over at his friend and saw she had a small smile on her face. He and Optimus had been spending quite a bit of time together lately and in that time he had figured out ways to make his friend smile again. He even got his stoic Prime to laugh once and it had made his spark soar. He loved it when he was the one to make her happy.

'I think Chili would be wonderful. I trust your judgement. And I don't mind postponing if it has something important to do with the team. Ratchet nodded and they descended into a comfortable silence. Soon enough he base would go up a few decibel levels and this moment would be gone. It would be about an hour until they got to be alone again and Ratchet was counting down the moments.

c:* I'mmm baaack! What up you guys. Look who's back. Another Transformers story with fem Optimus. Muahaha! I will now rope you all into reading another one of my multi chapter story's. And you vets know what that means. Crappy update schedule! Whoo. Ya. So this time round, I actually have some of the chapter done ahead.

And there is the problem. I don't really know where I want this story to go. I know that Ratchet and Optimus are getting together. (Ya ya. You all already saw it coming so don't whine about spoilers. Now when it is going to happen, you don't know. So there.) Any who. My problem is I don't know if I want this to look into Optimus' back story, or if I want this to just fallow along with the series, but with a bit more character development. Now both plots are going to happen, just when is the question.

SO! Tell me what you want. Optimus back story (My version with a lot of Evelyn/Megatronus) or just going along with the season but building on Ratchets and Optimus' relationship. So ya. Weigh in. Also. Once again the title is up for debate. It kind of depends on what the plot of the story is. But if you have a mind blowing title that is so cool, it doesn't even matter what the plot is, I wouldn't be apposed to using then, we have a working title.

And that's it. I can't wait to get this started and I hope you all are as excited as I am. See you all soon and make sure to tell me what you think. Love Ya.

P.S. This is whatever the Autobot sending is.' I don't know the name. You act like I could just google Ohh.
