Chapter 1:

After being stuck in the Arctic for what seemed like forever, Arcee got on to a medical berth at the Autobot base. Ratchet attached a defrosting system on Arcee, and the others continuously checked her spark pulse.

"You guys can leave now Arcee is just going to be here recharging for tonight and she will be up and about tomorrow morning," Ratchet said after a 4 hour silence between him and the other bots.

"Bumblebee, go take Jack and Raff home, and you too Bulkhead, take Miko home, and Ratchet, go take a rest, you deserve it old friend," Optimus ordered. Bumblebee responded with a few beeps and clicks and Bulkhead nodded and told Miko to get in. Ratchet simply smiled and went to his hanger and his big metal door slammed shut.

When everyone left, Optimus sat down at Arcee's berth side. He stroked Arcee's small femme face with one finger, he mumbled a few words and kissed her cheek and walked away to his hanger. But, what Optimus didn't know was that Arcee woke up when Ratchet's door slammed. So she saw Optimus sit beside her, she saw him stroke her cheek with one finger, and she saw him kiss her on the cheek! Arcee sat up and brought her hand up and stroked her cheek with her fingertips and smiled.

Arcee POV:

He kissed my cheek…does he really love me? But what did he say before he left? Should I go talk to him tomorrow morning? I love him so much but I don't know if I should tell him…what should I do? I mean when we were out in the Arctic he actually held my hand and it didn't feel like that "I'm holding your hand because we are going to die" kind of way. It felt like a warm comforting " I like you" kind of way…Oh what am I saying? He's the leader for crying out loud! He doesn't love me! Ugghhh! I bet my mind is just trying to fool me, I'm such a fool!

Normal POV:

"I'm so stupid!" Arcee shouted as she hit her hand on the front of her head. As soon as she did that Bulkhead and Bumblebee came driving into base.

"So you're up now huh?" Bulkhead said with a chuckle.

"Uhh, ya I guess…" the femme said as she stood up. Bumblebee responded with a few clicks and beeps.

"Ya I'll be able to pick up Jack tomorrow; thanks Bee," Arcee responded. Bumblebee did 3 delightful beeps and walked away. Bulkhead patted Arcee on the back and went to his hanger.

Arcee walked to her hanger as well, as she did she passed by Optimus' quarters, which was right next to hers by the way, and she smiled. His door was mildly open and she saw the big mech fiddling with an energon shard. The shard fell and Optimus went to pick it up. Arcee was still watching from the crack through the door and when Optimus looked up he saw the femme peeping and Arcee saw Optimus looking at her. She quickly went to her room. Optimus chuckled a bit and sighed; he then sat down and twirled the energon shard once again.

The next morning, Arcee sits up on her berth and swings her feet to the side. She props one arm up onto her knee and rests her head in her palm. I wonder how Optimus' mornings are… She thought. She climbs out of her berth and enters the hallway. When you steps out she finds Optimus walking out of his room to. Arcee rushes over in a fashionable manner. Not trying to look desperate, she quickly says,

"Hi Optimus," Arcee's eyes are darting all over Optimus' lovely mech body. Her eyes land on one particular place. His groin. There was a large metal plate covering it, meaning it must have something BIG in it. Thinking about it made her spark raise and give her shocks of electricity all over her body. She wondered what it looked like and she wondered many, many things. Until…

"Ummm… Arcee?" Optimus said with concern.

"Huh, what? Oh…Hiiiiii," Arcee tried to say without looking down at Prime's groin again.

"Are you ok? You seem a little, spaced out…" Optimus said with confusion.

"What no! I'm fine! I have to go pick up Jack soooo-" Arcee dashed off, transformed into a motorcycle, and drove out of base. Optimus cocked his head slightly to the left, and chuckled. He then walked down the hall to ask Ratchet on his report.

When Arcee came back with Jack, he said,

"Hey Arcee I'm going to play some video games with Raff, see you later!" then her ran off to Bumblebee's hanger. She smiled and walked off to meet Optimus again and try not to dash off again. The femme never felt that way before and it made her feel really happy.

"Hi Optimus," Arcee said with a smile.

"Hi, Arcee, you're not going to dash off again are you?" Optimus chuckled.

"Hahaha, no, so we have any Con activity yet or what?" Arcee said not taking her eyes off of Optimus.

"No not yet, and I don't think anytime soon too, with Megatron gone, I don't know what they will do," he said with a stern voice. Arcee nodded and lowered her optics and glanced at Optimus' groin again. She then shook her head and rubbed the back of her neck.

"Is something wrong?" Optimus asked with concern.

"N-n-no; just saw something…" Arcee's voice trailed off.

"Saw what?" Optimus said confused.

"It's nothing, just got distracted for a while…"Arcee then raised her hand to her cheek and touched it with her finger tips and smiled. It was also the same cheek that Optimus kissed just that night. Prime's optics widened.

Optimus POV:

Does she know that I kissed her cheek that night? Was she awake? Did she hear what I said? No, she was asleep, I know it. I'm being too self-conscious, I'm a Prime, and I shouldn't be acting so scared. Ugghhh! A Prime shouldn't be having these thoughts and doing these actions! This job just got a slightest bit harder now…

Normal POV:

"Optimus? Optimus? You ok?" Arcee said waving her hand in front of his face. Optimus lowered Arcee's hands with his own.

"Ya I'm fine, I'm just thinking…things a Prime probably shouldn't be thinking…" Optimus said with a crack.

"Oh…well you're the leader you can think of whatever you want to think about!" Arcee said with joy, trying to comfort Optimus in the easiest way possible. Optimus smiled and said' "Thanks Arcee, that's why you're my second in command," Arcee felt her spark racing and filling with excitement. She then spoke,

"Optimus, I need to update my weapons so I'll be at the gun store," Arcee said with a smirk on her face, "and I was wondering if you would want to tag along," Arcee said while she twirled her fingers together. Arcee was hoping Optimus would saw yes, she really wanted to have some time with Optimus. She could maybe even try to tell him how she really felt and what she saw that night.

"Sure, when should we leave?" Optimus said with a hint of pleasure. Arcee's spark did a little flip and Arcee had a little goofy smile on her face.

"Ummm, how about now? Ya lets go now!" She said with excitement. Arcee then transformed into a motorcycle, with her holoform on top. Optimus followed in return, turning into a truck and following Arcee out of base.

When they reached the closest gun store, Arcee's holoform propped off of the motorcycle. The holoform had long, layered black hair; a lace purple tunic top followed by a mini black leather vest, a sleek black mini skirt, and strapped stiletto 4 inch heels. And to finish it off, she had large Gucci glasses and what kind of girl would she be without a small black Gucci chained handled bag linked to her shoulder. Optimus' holoform came out of the truck door and Arcee was stunned, even if it was just a holoform. He had sleek dark brown hair, He wore a red v-necked shirt with blue flames followed by a leather jacket, and he wore dark denim jeans and black converse. Arcee tipped the rim of her glasses down and looked at his amazing body. For the first time in her life she adored a human body such as Optimus' holoform.

Optimus smirked and walked towards Arcee. Arcee was in awe; she linked her arm into Optimus', placed her head on his shoulder and smiled. Optimus spark was doing a little dance when Arcee clinged to him. A couple of boys came by eyeing Arcee with smiles on their faces. Arcee then glared at them with an unhappy expression. They whistled at her and one of them shouted, "Hey babe! Come hang here with us!" Arcee then turned her head sharply and growled at them and they soon got terrified. Arcee then grabbed Optimus' wrist and walked away quickly. Optimus then looked at the group of boys and smirked and caught up to Arcee.

"So which one would look better on me?" Arcee said browsing around the displayed guns. A couple of men eyed her as they walked pass, she glared and growled at every one of them. And every time Optimus smirked and laughed. Optimus then got an intercom from Ratchet saying that to come back to base in 15 minutes. Arcee nodded when Optimus told her and he smiled and left. Arcee waited 5 minutes for him to leave and she ran out. Her holoform jumped onto the motorcycle and drove off.

She picked up Optimus energon signal just about a mile and a half away. She spend up just a few more miles and she then glanced to her right and saw a police motorcycle and she began to take a liking to the design. The sleek wheels, the shining front, and many more. She then scanned the vehicle and her holoform changed form. She then turned on her sirens and sped up. Seeing Optimus just a third of a mile away she drove faster and signaled him to pull over. Optimus was a tad bit confused until he saw Arcee's holoform smirk.

She hopped off of the motorcycle and said with my delight,

"My turn to be in command Optimus,"

Optimus laughed and responded, " Hahaha, yes ma'am," Arcee smiled and told Optimus to meet her at a rundown warehouse after his scouting mission with Bumblebee.

"At six, sharp ok?" Arcee questioned turning her head slightly.

"At six officer," Optimus said with a smile and a delighted sigh.

Arcee lifted an arm and touched Optimus' shoulder with her finger tips, "See ya soon, " and she hopped on her motorcycle and sped off.

Optimus POV:

At six, I'll be there…Wow she is so cute…

Normal POV:

And Optimus' holoform got into the truck and drove off to base.
