Well the votes have been caste. By three people. Ahem ahem. Anyways, my three first reviewers noahlemon, Moocky and Evelyn Prime have decided that seeing Optimus's past (noahlemon I am roping you in with the other two. Sorry.) was what they wanted and so that is what we all get. And really I am excited about the decision. I have been wanting to write this for a while and have lots of idea's. So I hope everyone likes the direction this is going. And if you don't, next time tell me.

Any who. Hope you all enjoy and leave a review if you have an opinion. Or just go mindlessly along with the crowd. Whatever you decide. I'm not bitter. Who's bitter. I mean we hard working writers are only trying to make you all happy, and when I ask for your opinion, who would expect an opinion. I mean it takes a couple of days to write a chapter, and only five minuets to write a review. But hey, you all have lives to get back to.

Well anyways. That's my way of being passive aggressive about how you all sucked at reviewing. I usually don't mind, its just, when I ask your guy's opinion, I really want to know. So please, if you never review at least say something about what you want to see in a story when asked. It means so much to writers and it isn't the hardest thing to do. So this is all I am going to say, unless one of you say something really really awful. I hope you enjoy, and if you could, just take five minuets and leave a review. And thank you for all who do. It makes me smile and want to write, just to make you all happy. And I'm sorry about being so serious, but I just needed to say my piece. Hope we can still be friends. :)

Oh. And since I know the way this story is going the new name for this story is "Memory of Love." I hope its not to sappy.

Ratchet and Optimus had finally been able to get away when the team had broken off for there study time. Ratchet had made sure that Bumblebee was okay and it turned out he just needed new tires. After that it hadn't taken long for the oldest two Autobots to leave for some time alone after the onslaught of noise and energy. Both Optimus and Ratchet looked forward to just being able to talk without worry. And the others all looked forward to the gossip that came whenever those two left.

"So what do you think they are going to talk about while here gone?" Unlike normal, it was Rafael who broached the topic. Miko just flashed him a wide smile.

"Well probably when the wedding will be. Or how many kids to spark." Everyone else just laughed her off. Optimus and Ratchet were just friends. Right? Well Raf didn't seem to think that because he got way to excited at the prospect of his two friends finding happiness within each other.

"Do you think? That would be awesome! Just think of Optimus and Ratchet together. Think of Ratchet smiling and Optimus smiling. That would be amazing. Don't you think?" Jack along with the others shuddered at the thought of Ratchet smile ling. He only ever did that when he was about to end you.

"Miko was joking, Raf. I mean those two are just friends. I mean sure, they have been standing a bit closer to each other. And holding hands every now and then. And Ratchet has actually been smiling more whenever Optimus is around. And I have seen her smile at him. And," That's when everyone stopped. A flood of thought came rushing to them and It hit them all at once. "And I think they might be totally together. How did we not see this sooner?" Everyone started freaking out. totally forgetting there homework.

"Ya! I mean they have been going out and doing things alone more and more." Everyone was talking all at once, trying to figure out how they had missed them being together. That is until the voice of reason rang out thru the chaos.

"Wait! What if this is how they act around each other?" This caused a pause. "I mean, how much do we know about there past? This could be how they have always acted and they have only recently been more comfortable around us to let there guard down. So we might all be freaking out for nothing."

Arcee's words seemed to calm them all down for a moment, but then the points from before seemed to prove otherwise and doubt reared its ugly head. Everyone one went back to there homework, but it was hard to concentrate on math when there was other more interesting things to think about.

After another hour Arcee got up to get some energon for the group. As she made her way down the hallway she passed by the relic safe and that's when she saw a light shinning thru under the door. After a moments thought, Arcee entered the safe, trying to find out what was causing the light. She looked around and saw one of the relics was glowing blue.

Now it was protocol to just leave the relics alone, let them be because they were old and tended to do strange things. But as Arcee was about to turn and go, she felt something pulling at her net and for some reason, she couldn't look away. As she looked at the relic, it changed from a blue light to a purple light.

As she stared at it memories of the earlier conversation rose in her mind. And as the thoughts rose, her head was filled with pictures of Optimus and all the things she had done and before she knew it, the relic was in her hands and she was making her way towards the main room. Arcee didn't really know what she was doing, but it felt important for her to take the relic out to the others.

She soon arrived out to the others and just kinda stopped. She wasn't able to move anymore. She thought she heard the others asking what the matter was, but as they looked down at the Relic in her hand, they two were all struck by the thought of the earlier conversation and then thoughts of there leader filled there heads. And then everything went black.
