AN: I want to apologize for not updating soon. I was sick and bedridden, but I'm fine now. ^^ I want to thank everyone, who added my story to favorites, it really encourages me to write. Oh, and one more thing: I need a beta reader, so... Any volunteers?

Oh, and one more thing: luvableKnegi, I'm sorry about that 'him'...


As soon as Nebulla stepped into the room, Arcee ran to her and hugged Nebulla.

-Mom, I'm… - she wanted to say 'fine', but that you would've been a lie.

-I understand.

The young femme looked around the room and saw some strange looking residents.

-Mmm… What are thay? – whispered Nebulla.

Arcee just laughed. Then she turned to those 'strange little beings' and said:

-Sam, Mikaela, I want you to meet my daughter – Nebulla. And, Nebulla, this is Sam and Mikaela – they're humans.

-Hi… Ummm… Nice to meet you?.. – said Sam.

Nebulla just stared at those 'humans'. Then she crouched next to them.

-Nice to meet you too… - Nebulla still stared. There was an awkward silence, until Optimus decided to break it.

-Sam and Mikaela helped us to find and protect the All Spark.

Nebulla still stared.

-Listen… I'm… I'm sorry about your father, - practically whispered Mikaela.

-What do you know about it? – cold furry in Nebulla's voice made everyone in the room flinch.

-I know more than you think… More than I want to, - answered Mikaela, this time louder.

-Oh really?!

-Girls, girls… Don't fight over something like this, - interfered Sam. That earned him a glare from both females.

-Or you can do whatever you like, - squeaked Sam.

Mikaela turned back to Nebulla.

-I know it hurts, but you'll survive. That pain will never go away completely, but it'll subside. It just shows how much you loved Jazz. And after a while you'll be alright again.

Nebulla looked right into Mikaela's eyes, and the girl thought, that femme is reading her soul like an open book. Then Nebulla stood up and transformed. She opened her 'car' door.

-I need to get away from here. Care to come with me?

Without saying anything Mikaela got into car. And Nebulla drove off before anyone could have reacted.

------//------

-Just how big is this desert?

-Mmm… Big, very big, - laughed Mikaela. They were driving so fast, that the girl could hardly see anything thought a window.

-Why do 'humans' needed to create such a big desert? It has nothing, but sand.

-Oh, no, it's not humans creation. It was created by n-…

-Nature itself.

-You knew?

-No, I just looked it up in World Wide Web. It's very handy, that's how I learned your language.

-Oh, that's great and all,but… Why don't you slow down a bit?

-I'm driving too fast for you? – Mikaela could hear laughter in Nebulla's voice.

-Hey! I'm just a human. We're not used to drive in cars who really are robots from space, - laughed Mikaela.

Suddenly Nebulla screeched to halt.

-What? What's wrong? - yelled her passenger. And then she saw that they were standing on the edge of the cliff.

-Wow, that was close, - breathed the girl, as she go out of the car.

Right that moment yellow Camero stopped next to them, and a frantic Sam ran to Mikaela.

-Are you ok? When she kidnapped you, me and Bumblebee tried to follow, but she was going so fast and-…

-Sam, I'm alright. There was kidnap, we just… decided to get away from everybody, and that includes you. Me and Nebulla just wanted to have a 'girl talk'. And you interrupted.

As Mikaela and Sam were talking (or rather arguing), Nebulla transformed and sat on the edge of the cliff. 'Those humans really amusing.' Then someone sat next to her.

-I never got to say this earlier, so… Welcome back, Nebulla.

Nebulla just smiled and hugged Bumblebee.

-It's… good to be back.

Somewhere to her left she heard Sam mumble something like 'Why can't Bee talk normally with me too?' but decided not to pay attention to anything around her. She felt safe and content with Bumblebee by her side. And at the back of her mind Nebulla knew, that Mikaela was right: someday she'll overcome this pain.

Still smiling she stood up and turned to her human… friends?

-Ready to go home?
