Hey Everyone! I hope you liked the first chapter. Anyway, this chapter is going to focus on Elita + Optimus. Will Ultra Magnus approve? Let's find out.

I don't own Transformers Prime.

Elita One was first up the next morning. She was running some tests on the computer when Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus walked in. They were rubbing their optics.

"Good morning Elita," Optimus said.

"Morning, hey I was wondering if maybe we could take a drive today," Elita told the two.

"Where?"

"I was thinking the beach,"

"The beach?"

"Yeah, you see Abby told me there is a lake and a beach nearby,"

"And you want to go there?"

"Yeah,"

"Alright,"

Ultra Magnus butted in, "And you're agreeing with her?"

Optimus nodded and Magnus shook his head.

Elita packed a blanket and nodded, signaling she was ready to go. The trio transformed and rolled out. When they pulled up, no one was at the beach. There was obvious evidence that no human had been there in a long time. Elita transformed and surveyed the area.

"I like it," she said.

Optimus walked up behind her and put his servo on her shoulder. Magnus quickly removed it. Elita rolled out the blanket and laid on it. The three splintered and did their own thing. Optimus paced the beach. Magnus sat on the blanket next to Elita who had her optics closed.

"You know Magnus, there is a whole network of underwater caves under this lake," Elita said.

"Do I look like I care?" Magnus replied.

Elita sighed. Suddenly, a huge splash from the lake appeared. Elita shot open her optics and stood up. Magnus stood up too while Optimus ran over to them.

"What was that?" Magnus asked.

"Perhaps it was a fish," Optimus replied.

"No way, too big of a splash," Elita said as the three took a few steps back.

As if on cue, a huge black and white squid looking Bionic sprang up out of the water. It smashed its huge tentacles against the beach. The three commanders took cover. Optimus began to shoot at it. The tentacles receded back into the lake.

"I'm going in after it," Elita screamed.

"Elita no, you'll rust!" Optimus shouted to her but it was no use. Elita was under the surface.

Elita swam down closer to the Bionic squid. It flung its slimy tentacles onto her. Elita struggled to get free, but the squid was stronger than she was. Elita kept trying to wiggle out of the squid's grasp when she realized that her shoulders were starting to rust away.

Meanwhile, up on the shore, Optimus and Magnus were worried about Elita. While she could swim, Earth water was acidic to Cybertronians if they were exposed for too long.

"One of us has to go in after her," Magnus told Optimus.

Optimus narrowed his optics, knowing what he had to do.

Elita was almost halfway out of the squid's tentacle when another grabbed onto her. Out of nowhere, Optimus Prime in Golden Mode appeared. He pulled the tentacle's apart and grabbed Elita. Suddenly, Elita started to glow golden too. They smiled at each other.

However, the squid wasn't finished. It grabbed Optimus' foot and pulled him farther down. Elita was about to go after him, when she felt a tug on her arm. She turned to see Ultra Magnus leading her to the shoreline. Elita didn't want to leave; she wanted to help Optimus.

Magnus hulled Elita up onto the shoreline who at the time was screaming and thrashing. She wanted to go back under to save Optimus. However, Ultra Magnus pointed out the rusty edges of Elita's armor. Elita still wanted to go back. Ultra Magnus realized that Elita really did care about Optimus and possibly loved him.

The squid was pulling Optimus down deeper and deeper. He tried to get free, but even in Golden Mode Optimus Prime was no match. His shoulders started to rust away and so did part of his helmet. Optimus closed his optics, knowing that it was the end. And he slipped out of consciousness. His mouth opened slightly and water filled his body. The squid continued to pull him down.

Ultra Magnus swam down after him at a very fast rate. Magnus had finally achieved Golden Mode. He pried the tentacle off Optimus' foot and led him to the surface.

Elita was recovering on the beach when she heard the two mechs wash up. Ultra Magnus pulled Optimus up on the beach and collapsed as his Golden Mode faded. Elita looked at Magnus. He nodded and motioned to Optimus.

Elita crawled over to Optimus. She cried as she stroked his face.

"No. Optimus please don't die. I…I…I care about you," Elita stammered.

Elita opened his mouth a little more and started mouth-to-mouth. After a few minutes, water came out of Optimus' mouth and he coughed. He gained consciousness. Elita smiled as she hugged him. Optimus looked up and Magnus, silently thanking him and asking for something else. Magnus nodded with a smile.

The three relaxed for a little longer on the beach, praying the Bionic squid wouldn't return.

Elita and Optimus were sitting up on a sand dune together. Magnus was folding the blanket.

"Optimus, I want to thank you for the save," Elita said.

"You're welcome," Optimus answered.

Elita looked at him out of the corner of her optics. Optimus looked at her and they moved closer into each other. Before realizing what was happening, their lips met. And they kissed until it was time to leave.

And there is chapter 2. Wasn't it full of action and romance? I had fun writing it. Until next time!
