And soon came the day, when was supposed to be the day of SweetSparks. But to be honest, Autobots haven't remembered it. Like SweetStar said, since the war started, there hasn't been any chance to celebrate any Cybertronian holidays. Sure, Autobots knew them, but since they're still in a war, there's no time for it. Plus, it's been so long that they hardly remember which day was which. Until now...
The good thing was that it was on Saturday, so Elena managed to bridge kids to the base before bots could notice. Also, Bulkhead, who was recovering from his leg, was in deep recharge.
"Do you still got them?" whispered Jack, so they won't wake Bulkhead.
"All here." whispered Elena tapping the huge box.
"What now?" asked Miko.
"At this time I usually prepare my special treat of energon." said Elena.
"You mean the one with screw- nuts, and lug nuts?" asked Raf.
"Has Bee told you about it?" asked Elena.
"He said it's the best. For me, it sounds like hot chocolate with marshmallows."
"Oh, sound delicious." said Miko.
"Well, let's go make it." said Elena.
The first one to come was Ratchet, who went first check Bulkhead's condition before he notices the cubes of energon. to be honest, Autobots knew that, when there were energon cubes like that with lug nuts and all, it meant there was one of the earth's holidays. She even has told some of them. But she never has asked them to celebrated them, probably because she knew Ratchet wasn't much for it. Plus, she didn't want to bother them. Even if they had told that they won't mind, but still she hasn't.
Ratchet could help but smile. By all the humans, Elena was special. She was always concern about bots, then herself. He wasn't sure which holiday was going on now, but that wouldn't mind. he could ask it from Elena. He picks one up to Bulkhead before waking him up
"Wake up, Bulkhead," said Ratchet. "Here's something special for ya."
"Ugh...I hope it's not one of your medical checks," said Bulkhead.
"Actually, this isn't mine," said Ratchet and showed the cube of energon. Bulkhead's optics went wide. That wasn't just any cube of energon. It had lug-nuts. That could only mean...
"Alright!" he yelled, while he got up. "Is this just for me or is there some special day?"
"I'll go for the last one," said Ratchet. "But I'm not sure which holiday is going on. I only hope it's not the one with the colorful eggs."
"Oh come on. Kids didn't mean to put them on to your tool box," said Bulkhead.
"You don't know, how long it took to clean it." said Ratchet annoyingly.
Right, then Bumblebee was next to come. when he spot the cubes, he beeped cheerfully and went to pick one to himself. Then came Arcee and SweetStar. SweetStar squealed, when she spot the cubes too, but only because she knew today was the day Elena has talked about. She wheeled her Wheelchair close to Bumblebee so, he could lift her up and pick her own cube, which was the smallest of them.
"Hey, 'Cee. We got a special treat today." said Bulkhead meaning the energon cubes.
"Okay, what's the day?" asked Arcee.
"We don't know," said Ratchet. "We may soon find out."
"(We may know something if we check weather.)" said Bumblebee.
"I don't think that help much," said Arcee, while picking her cube. "But I won't mind if it's the one with big decorated tree with lights."
"Oh, and presents too!" said SweetStar.
"Maybe it's the one with those fireworks." said Bulkhead.
"Which one of them?"asked Ratchet. "There's like one in the middle of winter and one in summer."
"(Well, what else there was?)" asked Bumblebee. Everyone think a while before Optimus came.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"We're just thinking." said Arcee.
"(It seems there's one of the holidays.)" beeped Bumblebee. Optimus was bit confused until he notices the energon cubes. That may have explained why Elena woke a bit early. He went took his energon cube.
"I'm sure Elena will tell us the reason for this," said Optimus. SweetStar was excited, that you could see from her face that she was ready to squeal more when the time comes.
"You seem to know something." said Arcee, who notice Sweet's behavior.
"I think I know which Holiday is going on." she said smiling.
"Which one?" asked everyone.
"I can't tell," she said. "It's supposed to be a surprise, so I promised not to tell."
"Can you at least tell, it's not one of those embarrassing ones." said Ratchet.
"What of those could be embarrassing?" asked Bulkhead.
"Well, for example, the one, you have something green on or the one where you had to have a disguise or the worse one that huge meal for saying Thanks." Okay, they had to admit, for bots those were bit weird holidays.
"Well, actually I could tell that there are holidays that's like one our own." said SweetStar.
"Which one you're talking about?" asked Arcee.
"Well,..." said SweetStar, before made heart shaped by her fingers. That's when Bumblebee figures it out.
"(The day of lovey doves!)"
"THE WHAT ONE?!" asked Ratchet. Everyone looked at scout bit confused since he has been longer in the earth he probably knew well. But what kind of holiday is that?!
"It's called Valentine's day." said SweetStar."Girls told me it's when you give gifts to those you love."
Everyone stayed quiet. That really did sound like one of their own holiday, The day of SweetSparks.
"Well,...I guess...We could try it." admitted Ratchet. That was something new from him.
"Is this so-called Valentine's day today?" asked Optimus.
"No." heard a voice from the hall. Everyone look there to find Elena, Jack, Miko and Raf standing there smiling. "The Valentine's day way bit ahead. Today is our 'Valentine's day'." said Elena.
"What?"
"HAPPY DAY OF SWEETSPARKS!" yelled kids and Elena.
Autobots, Stood there bit shocked. Bulkhead drop his energon cube, Bumblebee optics went wider than they already were, Arcee covered her mouth, Ratchet was all blank stare and Optimus didn't look much surprised, okay maybe bit surprised, since he could control his emotions.
"Oh I think I'm going to cry." said SweetStar.
"Sweet, I told it will be on this week." said Elena.
"But still." she said.
"How you.." tried to ask Ratchet.
"I checked it from Star Computer," said Elena. "It wasn't easy, but I manage to count when it was and...I thought it would nice if you could have one of your own festive here," she said. Optimus came near and knelt to them.
"Thank you," he said. Elena and kids couldn't help, but smile. They could tell that he really was grateful, for what they did.
"Well, how about we start it before Miss emotional starts to leak," said Ratchet meaning SweetStar. Everyone laughed a bit for that. Then kids open the box and give their cards to the bots. they read some of them. In some they only smiled, in some, they were so close to crying. Bulkhead even got another energon cube, since Elena kind of guessed someone will drop the cube, so she made extra one just in case. The day was wonderful, but far from over.
Arcee returned to her room, with her 'SweetSparks' cards. It was sweet that Elena and kids made it for them. Considering that they were still on war and they couldn't have any of it during the great war in Cybertron. Maybe when the war was over there would be more to come.
She was going to put her card in a locker for safe keeping until she notices another on top of her locker. It was big pink paper with a red heart on center. she picks it up and finds writing on behind it. It was written in Cybertronian language.
"Happy day of SweetSparks, my love. OP"
OP? Optimus Prime? Did he...No, something wasn't right. Arcee has seen his signature, He never writes OP. It was either Optimus Prime or O. it hit her. Elena made this. She made it look like it was from Optimus, but she just had to write it with the wrong signature. Well, ten points for trying, she could say that.
Optimus was on the roof watching the sky. He usually did, when he had for it. The Stars in the night usually remind him how far Cybertron was, but also how big space could sometimes be. His thoughts were interrupted, when heard someone coming from behind.
"Enjoying the night?" asked Arcee.
"So far, yes..." he answered. Arcee came next to him.
"I found this in my room," she said and showed the card. Optimus took it and look at it. He even read what was written to it.
"It's not mine." he said honestly.
"I notice," said Arcee. "I bet Elena did to make look it was yours." she chuckled. "I guess she wanted to make something special for us because the day of SweetSparks." Optimus couldn't help but smile for that. He knows Elena won't do such a thing, but since it was the day of SweetSparks, she probably made an exception. But then speaking of the card...
"I actually made this one for you..." he said and gave data-pad for her. Arcee took it and look what it was. I was like the card with same words.
"Happy day of the SweetSparks, My love. O Prime"
Arcee didn't say anything.
"I guess my surprise got a spoiled bit..." he said.
"It's lovely," she said. Optimus looked at her with surprise.
"What did you say?"
"I say it's lovely," she said. "Even if the words were same like in Elena's, but in this, I know it was from you," Optimus smiled for that, while she smiled back.
But then they music coming from somewhere and then singing.
I love you too much
To leave without you loving me back
I love you too much
Heaven's my witness and this is a fact
When they heard the lyrics, they started to blush much and look away from each other. But while still blushing, they had a smile on their faces, since they know they love one of another and...well, the team knows about it. They just hadn't got time for this kind of romance.
I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours
'Cause I love you too much
Behind one of the big rocks, Elena was hiding and playing guitar. The truth is she didn't know how to play, but thanks to Star Computers programming, she learned quickly and now was singing the song.
I live for your touch
I whisper your name night after night
I love you too much
there's only one feeling and I know it's right
In the base, everyone was looking the scene through the camera. SweetStar was all 'aww' way and so was Bumblebee and Bulkhead. Miko was holding onto Jack's arm, maybe even too tight by the look on his face. Raf only looked and listened how Elena sang and so did Ratchet.
I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours
'Cause I love you too much
Elena keeps singing until she put the guitar aside and took something from the little cave on the rocks, which she probably hide earlier. It was a little pocket bag, where she took something into her hands and blow it to the scene. While she kept singing.
Heaven knows your name
and I've been praying
to have you, come here
by my side
Without you a part
of me is missing
Just to make you,
my home I will fight
It turns out she blown flower seeds and not just any flower seeds, the seeds of red roses. And it looked like has learned the element of nature, because she manages to make those seed grow and bloom. The rose surrounds the love birds, while they looked at each other. And soon Elena took something else that turn out to be a jar full of fireflies, which she let free making all look so romantic.
Arcee and Optimus keep looking at each other.
"You do know She is making this up." said Arcee.
"Yeah,"said Optimus. "I'll handle that later," he said before he knelt down for her.
I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours
'Cause I love you too much
Elena looked a bit how things were going, before going back to guitar and it looks like things were going well.
I love you too much
I love you too much
Heaven's my witness and this is a fact
In the base, everyone was ready to cheers. By how it looked Optimus was going to kiss Arcee. Bumblebee was bumped up ready for cheers and so was Bulkhead and SweetStar. Miko was too and it even sees how she was quashing Jack arm, who was trying to get it off. Ratchet only smiled for the moment to come, but for knowing that Raf was young, he covered his eyes by one finger.
Elena was soon finishing the song while waited the moment to come.
You live in my soul
Your heart is my goal
There's love above love and it's mine
'Cause I love you
There's love above love and it's yours
'Cause I love you
There's love above love and it's ours
If you love me as much
Before their lips were inches away from each other Optimus stopped and said
"You will clean this afterward and you're grounded for the weekend for faking my signature," he said and it was obvious he was talking to Elena. In this Elena groans and kicked the camera, in which you may have heard entire base groan for losing the sight, like missing last important part of your favorite TV Show.
When Elena had left to the elevator, Arcee couldn't hold her laugh. But it didn't need to last because Optimus soon kissed her the way she loved.
AN: AH! I'm glad I manage to make this ^^ the song was I love you too much by Diego Luna and Gustavo Santaolalla from Book of life movie
