Each day I spent with the Autobots, the more I felt like I was finally home. They became the only thing in my life that I looked forward to seeing every day. Each day was spent in laughter, each day was spent in happiness, and each day was one premature step to my own death. I shook my head out of such gloomy thoughts and looked around the hangar. It had been a few months since I joined N.E.S.T. and Ratchet had become my best friend.
I was sitting up on the gurney while he checked me over, "Ya know; I really don't need ta have a check-up every day. I'm not gonna drop dead just yet." He had me hooked up to monitors- heart rate, pulse, brain waves, the works. He was even in his holoform, which always made me flustered when I saw it. I could even remember the first time I ever met the holoform version of Ratchet- he had dark hair like mine, only it was almost black, his jaw line was strong and had a slight stubble going on, high cheek bones and a well shaped nose, but his eyes make my heart flutter; electric blue jewels inset on tan skin.
It was strange because I thought he was an angel until I heard him speak. Ratchet had found me half dead under a pile of rubble after an explosion caught me off guard. I was watching him calmly, but his voice sounded far more scared then he looked, "Bonny, Bonny wake up! Please, stay with me. I'm going to have to give you a transfusion, just hang in there." The liquid he filled the IV with wasn't blood. It was engergon. The substance that the Cybertronians needed to survive. My body didn't reject it, not even at first. I felt so warm and safe that I just closed my eyes and fell asleep. "Keep your eyes open Bonny!" It was the holoform again, couldn't Ratchet just let me sleep for awhile, and reluctantly I tugged them open. I felt the bite of a needle in my skin and I screamed bloody murder. Ratchet not only looked distressed, but he as looked really scared.
"Stop lookin' like yer gonna keel over with fear, Ratchet. I'm not goin' anywhere just yet." I closed my eyes drowsily; I think Ratchet snapped out of his fear when he heard my joke. It took me a few weeks in the Infirmary to get back to normal, though my temperature was far above normal at all times.
He was checking things on his clip board, "Stop being a baby. These never take long." I sneezed and he looked up, his eyes narrowing, "Do you have a cold?"
I shook my head, "Nope, somebody is talkin' bout me behind me back." He shook his head slowly.
"How have you been feeling recently?" He stared at me, moving closer to me and sitting down on the gurney.
"Fine, a little bit slower than normal, but fine."
"When you say 'slower than normal' what do you mean?"
I tilted my head to one side, "Well, it means that I'm just tired a lot, nothing else."
He nodded, "Alright, I think I need to do a quick blood test."
I groaned, "Ya know I hate it when ya make me take those!" I flopped backwards onto the pillow and rubbed my eyes with my hands.
He patted my leg, "I know sweetspark." We both froze when he said that. I couldn't help the smile that was growing on my face, or the blush that filled my cheeks with a rose color.
"Did ya just call me 'sweetspark'?" His holoform wavered then disappear in a flash of blue sparks. "Ratchet, don't ya dare try to hide in your alternate form! And don't tell me it was a slip o' the tongue." I pulled myself off the gurney and unhooked myself, turning off the machines as I went. My footsteps echoed in the silence of the room as my nerves and a bubbly warmth twisted around in my stomach, "Ratchet." I spoke in the soft tone I knew he liked. I sat next to the wheel of the yellow and red Hummer he turns into and leaned back. "I take it that yer questioning yer choice 'o words. Well, I didn't mind ya callin' me sweetspark. Not one bit. I… I liked it, Ratchet." I felt myself blush furiously as I twiddle my thumbs. Still nothing. I stood up and faced him, "I'm goin' out to see the others, come find me when yer done poutin', eh?"
I was walkin' away when a very warm hand caught me, spun me around and kissed me. My entire body felt warm as I closed my eyes and tightened my grip on the cotton lab coat he was wearing. My pulse shot through the roof as we kissed. It ended too fast for my liking, but he held me close, "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that."
I smiled and giggled, burying my face into his lab coat, "I'm ready for ya ta take the blood, so long as ya hold me hand… sweetspark." I felt him laugh; we'd never been this close to each other.
"That's fine, anything to make you comfortable." He pulled away and so did I, but he held my hand as he got the things he needed, "I'll have to let got to put the needle in and draw the blood, but I won't move from this spot. He squeezed my hand reassuringly and started cleaning off the spot, I looked over at his alternate form and stared at it, not looking down as he pressed the needle into my skin, "Slight prick, and almost done." He took to vials of my blood then pulled the needle out. He kissed my forehead, "See, not so bad."
I nodded rubbed my arm, "I should be used ta it by now, I've had it done so many times in me life that it shouldn't be a problem." I sighed and jumped down from the gurney. Most days we would just hang out. Today didn't seem to be much different. I glanced around the room before returning my eyes to the handsome Autobot I could now call mine, I smiled, "Well, what are we doin' today Ratchet?"
He shrugged, "No missions are available at the moments so-"He was cut off by an all too familiar sound.
"Slag it all! I was lookin' forward ta a day off."
"Come on." His holoform disappeared and the sound of his alt form twisting and groaning into his normal form, into the Ratchet I'm used to. He extended his hand to me and I stepped up, turned, and sat on his palm as the sirens went off above us.
I felt the metal of his hand run cold for a second, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Megatron has been revived and is now after the Witwicky boy." I felt my heart stop for a moment.
"That ain't possible. How could that happen?" My voice trembled; Ratchet looked at me in concern and stroked my back with his thumb, but he stayed silent. "Let's go, we need ta get ta the others."
"No." Confusion absorbed me, what was he talking about.
He pulled me closer to his chest, I stood up and put my hands on the chest plates that protected him, "Ya want me ta stay here don't ya." I looked up at him to see him nodding. "I'm not defenseless ya know, I can handle me self just fine."
"No absolutely not. Never in a million years." I chuckled, but looked up at him with tears in my eyes.
"Ya can't get rid of me that easily. I can always ask Lennox. He knows I can use anti-armor missiles like no body's business." I glared up at him, "I'm not a useless glitch."
"I know that sweetspark, I just-"
Ironhide pause on his way to meeting up with the others, he cut Ratchet off when he heard that, "Did you just call Bonny 'sweetspark' or are my receptors on the fritz?" His glare told Ironhide to buzz off, but the hard ass of a robot didn't listen to the unspoken command, "Disgusting, Ratchet, you guys are sparkmates?"
I was at a loss for words, but Ratchet spoke up, "Yes, we are. Now go shove your cannons up your aft." My heart was dancing at his words, Ironhide backing off and he turned around, I heard him snickering to himself, but I didn't say anything. "Bonny?"
I looked up at him, I never felt so happy before. I felt whole for the first time in my life, "Aye, Ratchet?"
He lifted me up to his optics; he looked so serious, "When we put Megatron back into his grave, will you be my sparkmate?"
I didn't know what to say, but I knew that this bot would be the only guy I'd ever care about, "Of course I will, Ratchet." I looked at him through my eyelashes and kissed his cheek. "I'm still goin' with ya."
His engine revved before a smile tugged on his lips, "Fine, but I will be keeping an eye on you."
I giggled, "I ain't goin' ta die you silly bot." He put me on his shoulder as he started walking again. I was on cloud nine, no I was in heaven. I closed my eyes and leaned against his head. "I don't think I've ever been this happy in me life."
He looked at me strangely, "Why is that?"
"Because I have ye now, me family died when I was very young and yer the only bright spot in me life besides the others. Me favorite bright spot." I smiled at him, I felt the metal under me heat up, looked up when I heard Optimus clear his throat. "Um, hello boss." I smiled sheepishly. Ratchet nodded to him and then looked down at his feet.
"Care to explain what Ironhide just told me." I glanced at Ratchet, the metal heating up again in embarrassment, Bonny to the rescue!
"What did he say ta ya, Optimus?" I looked up into his optics, which looked calm and… amused? Yep, that's amusement in his optics, but I kept as straight face for the conversation's sake.
"That you two are sparkmates. Is that true, Bonny?"
His voice sounded calm, so I made mine firm with no room for argument, "Aye." He fell silent, nodding to himself, a small smile playing on his lips, I stood up from my perch and turned on the big black Autobot, "And ye- ya in some big trouble, I'm gonna take ya apart and put you back together as a femme, a pink femme! Ya'll not be able to sit down fer a month when I'm threw with ya!" Ironhide just laughed, so I pulled my torch off my belt, "If ya think I'm kiddin' just wait till ya wake up in the mornin', Pinkhide."
His optics twitched, "You little punk!"
Out came the cannons, and Ratchet's saw, "You make even one move toward her and your dead, 'Hide." I glanced at Ratchet's face, what I saw made me melt into a puddle on the inside. He was standing up for me, to Ironhide of all bots. He knows that 'Hide was just kidding, but, well, over protective bot.
"Put 'em away, both of ya. I don't want ta clean up the mess, besides, I'm having an overload right now, wanna know what its bout? The fact that a dead bot- Megatron ta be specific- just came out of the Lorenchian Abyss. If that isn't overwhelmin' enough, I've got ye two actin' like younglings! KNOCK IT THE FRAG OFF!" I glared harshly at Ironhide and gently at Ratchet, but they know when to put the guns away. Grumbling Ironhide put his away, and Ratchet did so without a complaint. "What was that Ironhide? I couldn't hear yer apology over the sound of ya poutin'."
"Sorry, Bonny." He glared at me before walking off.
"Thank ya kindly." I sat down on Ratchet's shoulder as he started walking again.
"Thank you, Bonny." He mumbled softly to me.
"What for?"
"For being… you." I blushed at the comment, once we were all in the debriefing room Lennox started, only to pause when he saw me.
"Bonny, this stuff is classified. You c-"
"Lennox, when ya hear that Megatron just came back from the dead, do ya think that should stay classified when I know that he could kill me friends, and me sparkmate?"
The other bots started chuckling at his confused expression, "Your, your what?"
I rolled my eyes, "Figure it out for yerself." I looked over at Ratchet and, well, I couldn't help but giggle at his expression when I winked at him.
"You mean. Oh!" I laughed as he realized what I was indicating bluntly and how it affected the situation. "Right well, as you all know, NBE1 is back on the move, which means they're planning something. We have a hit on their current location, an Ivy League school in D.C. Let's go." Bumblebee transformed and rolled out before the rest of us. Ratchet waited, for a moment before transforming and rolling out with the rest of them. Lennox raced over and gave me a high powered shotgun and a box of ammo. I put them both in the passenger set of Ratchet's alternate form and hopped in the driver's seat.
"Be safe out there Bonny."
I rolled my eyes at him, "Ya think this big guy would let me outta his sight? I'll be fine. We got some Decepticon ass to whoop!"
Ratchet's voice came out of the radio, "I won't let her get hurt, but she is right about one thing, those Decepticons are in for a real, how you say, 'whoop ass' session." Lennox and I laughed and I waved good bye to him as we pealed out of the hangar and down the street after the others.
"Ye had better not get yerself killed, Ratchet, or I'll bring ya back and kill ya me self."
"Your heart rate is up, you nervous." He chuckled.
"Of course I am, I don't want ta lose ya before I can even sparkbond with ya."
He was silent for a moment, "I love you Bonny and I won't die today."
I didn't say anything; I just kissed the decal of the Autobots on his steering wheel. I made up my mind, I would say it, "I love ya too, sweetspark, and I won't die today either." I looked out the window at the passing scenery.
He coughed lightly and tried to lighten the mood in the car. "Do you want to listen to some music, Bonny?" I nodded silently as he turned the radio on. I smiled at the song as sang along:
I see you driving 'round the town with the girl I love
And I'm like, "fuck you"
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like "fuck you"
And "fuck her too"

Ain't that some shit
(ain't that some shit)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish ya the best with a "fuck you"
Yeah, I'm sorry,
I can't afford a Ferrari,
But that don't mean I can't get you there.
I guess he's an Xbox
And I'm more Atari,
But the way you play your game ain't fair.

I said, if I was richer I'd still be with ya
Ain't that some shit
(ain't that some shit)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish ya the best with a "fuck you"

That I had to borrow,
and beg,
and steal,

Trying to keep ya,
And trying to please ya.

(ain't that some shit)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish ya the best with a "fuck you"
When the song was over I opened my eyes and turned the volume down a little bit. "Do ya know what that song was 'bout Ratchet?"
His holoform appeared next to me, "I haven't got the faintest idea."
"Unrequited love. He loved that girl so much but she just shook him away. When I sing it I change with lyrics up so it sounds like a girl wrote it. I can connect to music, I don't know why, well not most of the time." I flicked the stations around while Ratchet watched me.
"Bonny, what is 'Fuck you'?" I couldn't help it.
I started laughing, "I don't know how it became a cuss word, but Americans use it a lot. Fuck means sex, but well, the way they mean it its like shove off or go stick it up yer aft." The holoform nodded, but I don't think he got it completely. "Giving someone the finger is another way of saying that."
"The finger?"
"Humans stick up their middle finger in America, or pinky in China. The silent ways of saying fuck ya." He understood it now.
"Oh, how would you say it in a sentence?"
I giggled, "This is a very strange conversation ya know." I paused, "Ya can say it all different kinds of ways like- 'Fuck me!' which can me two things, I want ta have sex or why must I do this. Ya can always shout at yer enemies, 'Fuck ye ya motherfuckers!' or ya can say, 'Fuckin' hell that hurt!' all depend on the tone of yer voice when ya say it." I shrugged. A thought crossed my mind, how would that even work. I turned to the holoform and asked, "How would that work for us?"
Ratchet's holoform face grew confused, "How would what work?"
My face turned red, "Ya know, hookin' up." He still didn't get it, I groaned, "Sex, how would THAT work for us?" He didn't get to answer; the warehouse in front of us had exploded. "FUCK!" I grabbed the gun and the ammo and started loading it up as Ratchet did a u-turn and followed Optimus to a wooded area, I watched from the window and saw Sam ran off and hide while Optimus fought with Megatron. Starscream and someone else touched down near Sam, "Ratchet, drive, we have to help him!" He floored it, I watched as the Autobots leader became over whelmed. He had done well for a little while, but there was too many.
My heart sank like a stone as I watched. It lifted back up as Optimus fought them all off again, I felt like he would win, the big one was already dead, but I saw Megatron grab him from behind. I screamed, "OPTIMUS!" But he couldn't hear me. The blade ran right through his spark, I watched him fall to the ground. Dead. Off-line. No longer in service. Tears cascaded down my face as I watched. "No, no!"
I grabbed my gun and the ammo and jump out of Ratchet as he called out, "AUTOBOTS ATTACK!" I started firing off the bullets, most of them missed, but I did his Starscream a few times and I even got a hit on Megatron. Then I felt something grab me, the hand was black and white.
I screamed, "RATCHET!" He turned to look at me just as the meta closed over me and I was shut inside of a police cruiser.
-THIRD PERSON-
Ratchet transformed and started after her only to be called back by Ironhide. A piece of his spark was gone, and so was Optimus.
"This is Lennox."
"Ratchet here, Optimus is dead and Barricade took Bonny." His voice was dull, sadness and fury filled the Autobot as he waited for instructions to find Bonny, not that he needed them, but he would need a team.
"We'll be there soon, head back to base. Over."
"Copy that." Ratchet closed his optics and rubbed his helm with his hand. Opening his optics again he stared at the last place he saw her, driving off into the sunset. He silently prayed to Primus that this wasn't going to be her last sunset.
WAHHHHH! I hate it when Optimus dies. But what's worse is Ratchet is now hell bent on getting Bonny back. Damn, I just love writing this.
