Chapter 3- Truth or dare...
"Truth or Dare"
Optimus grinned. "Truth."
"Do giant alien robots have sex?"
Optimus burst out laughing. "I would think you know the answer to that question by now."
Mollie leaned against his chest plate. "Answer."
"Yes, giant alien robot's have sex. We enjoy it too. Your turn. Truth or Dare?"
Mollie grinned. "Truth."
Optimus looked thoughtful. " Why do human females obsess over body weight?"
Mollie thought a moment. "Women like to feel pretty. Some women need to be a certain weight to feel pretty. Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to show me your spark."
The expression that crossed Optimus Prime's face made Mollie immediately regret asking. "Is something wrong?"
Optimus looked down at her, frowning softly. "No... It's just, I've only shown my spark to one other... You see, among my people, to reveal your spark to another, is considered the ultimate sign of trust and devotion... My spark, is my soul. It is who I am. Because of this, it is sacred. Do you understand?"
Mollie nodded. "Ok then, we'll do a double a dare. You can show me your spark. Or, you can kiss Ironhide."
Optimus burst out laughing. "I have no desire to die in a burning ball of fury induced cannon fire, thank you very much. I will show you my spark, if you truly wish to see it. I simply wanted to make certain you understood what it was you asked of me."
Mollie smiled, touched by what he was about to do for her. "You trust me that much?"
He gently moved her off his chest, pulling apart the two plates that were his front doors in when he was in truck form. The flash of blue light was blinding at first, but as her eyes adjusted to it, she found herself looking at a pulsing blue orb, nestled above a white circle with a blue stone in the center that glowed almost as brightly. "The orb on top, is my spark. Beneath it, rests the matrix of leadership..."
She whispered softly, awe filling her as she looked at them. "The eyes are the window to the soul..."
Optimus tilted his head. "What?"
"Your eyes... They glow the same color as your spark..."
He smiled softly, closing his chest. "Indeed. Your turn. Truth or Dare?"
"Optimus..."
He looked down at her, his beautiful blue optics meeting her big green eyes curiously. She walked across his chest, gently placing a kiss on his top lip. "Thank you for trusting me enough to show me your soul..."
Optimus smiled softly as he felt his spark warm in a way it hadn't since Elita's death. "Thank you for wanting to see it Mollie..."
-Across the Base...-
Bumblebee stretched sleepily, reaching down to scratch an itch. His hand stopped abruptly as he discovered something on his chest plate that hadn't been there before. He groped it once, then flicked on his optics so fast they crackled, sitting up so quickly Thumper rolled onto the floor, waking with a grunt. "Bee... What..."
His optics came on, then widened as he looked at his lover.
There where Bee should have been, a look of shocked awe on her face, was the prettiest femme he had ever seen. Bumblebee looked up at him. "I've gotta say... This is new..."
Thumper reached out, poking one of Bee's bright yellow boobs with a fingertip. "Are those...?"
Bumblebee giggled.
"Yes. Boobies. I'll show you what to do with them later. Ratchet's gotta see this."
Bumblebee frowned as a look of horror crossed Thumper's face and he scrambled to his feet, running towards the door. "Thump... What's wrong?"
"I was suppose to pick Mollie up from the college six hours ago!"
Bumblebee swore, dashing after him.
Ratchet had just gotten Night Strike into recharge when Thumper crashed into his medbay, a familiar looking bright yellow femme tripping over her feet and landing on top of him. She had a wrench ready, putting a dent in each of their face plates before they had a chance to speak. "Wake my son and I will de-activate you both. Bumblebee, is that you?"
Ratchet grinned as the little yellow femme nodded, her bright blue optic's just as big as a femme as they had been when she was a mech. "We need your help Ratch..."
"I don't have the parts to rebuilt you into a mech Bee. Your just going to have to deal with it until Mollie learns to control her powers enough to turn you back."
Ratchet saw the expression on Thumper's face and frowned. "Ok... Let me rephrase that. Who is dying?"
Bumblebee sighed. "No one. We... Were playing around and Thumper forgot to pick Mollie up. We were wondering if you've managed to install a tracker on her yet."
Ratchet scowled. " Of course I have. Is that all?"
Thumper hung his head. "Do you think you could hit me again? I don't think I've been punished enough for being stupid."
Ratchet smiled softly, putting a comforting hand on Thumper's shoulder. "Everyone makes mistakes Thumper. That's why we work in teams. It just so happens, Optimus had your back today. You'll find them in his office. Now get out of here before you wake up Night Strike."
Bumblebee slipped her hand into Thumper's, giving it a comforting squeeze as they hurried out of the Med Bay.
Mollie looked up, relief flooding her as Thumper charged into the room. What she saw next filled her with awe. "Hi Thumper! Nice to see your finally awake. Bee! YOUR A GIRL!"
Bumblebee smiled softly. "It's my fault Thumper is late... I distracted him so much that he lost track of time."
Optimus cleared his throat. They both looked up. "The next time you two suspect you may become indisposed, perhaps you can arrange a suitable form of transportation for Mollie ahead of time? I would be happy to take her."
The look of shame on Thumper's face made Mollie want to cry. Getting up, she walked across Optimus Prime and reached her arms out. Thumper dropped to his knees, gently holding out his hand for her to climb into. Bumblebee and Optimus watched as Mollie hugged his chest plate. A single energon tear slid down his cheek. "I'm so sorry Mollie..."
She tilted her head back, looking up at him. "It's ok Thumper. Did you and Bee have fun?"
Bumblebee grinned. "Boy did we ever!"
