M2: Hey there! Just hiding in a vent so I don't accidently get stepped on during Ironhide's rampage. The twins are certainly fast when they want to be. The twins never seem to learn.

Sides through a comlink: Hey, M! Have you seen 'Hide?

M2: No and I wouldn't help you anyway. You two went too far this time!

Sides: Aw c'mon!

M2: No! Enjoy chapter 3 while I be quiet because I hear Ironhide coming.

MEETING THE TRANSFORMERS PT 3

Ratchet had a frown on his faceplates as he watched Jazz and Keira interact. She was chuckling at his jokes and he seemed to having the time of his life as he entertained her. Ratchet finished checking on Prowl and was waiting for him to wake up, growing envious with each passing minute. He did notice that she did not "look" at him with her hands. Was it because of his reaction earlier? He would find that out later instead of running the risk of embarrassing her in front of him. His mood radiated off of him and Keira picked it up rather quickly.

"What's wrong, Ratchet?" she asked.

"Nothing's wrong."

"C'mon, Ratch! You jealous or somethin'?" Jazz asked jokingly.

Am I jealous of Jazz?

"How about you tell me little bit of Cybertron's history, Ratchet? I'm sure it would be interesting," Keira interjected.

Ratchet smiled and activated his holoform, sitting next to Keira and began talking about the early history of Cybertron. Jazz yawned, bored with the story he had heard several times before but Keira was enthralled by it, hanging onto every word that was told to her. By the time he finished, Prowl was awake and listening as well. Prowl cleared his vocalizer, gaining everyone's attention. Jazz deactivated his holoform and rushed up to Prowl.

"Sorry, Prowl. I didn't mean to make you glitch!"

"I have a lot of work to do to keep the twins alive."

"What did they do?" Keira asked.

"They pulled one of their pranks on Ironhide and he's probably hunting them down right now."

"I haven't heard anything, Prowl. Ironhide may be still be asleep and doesn't know that he's the victim of a prank yet."

Just then, they heard a roar from somewhere in the base.

"Sounds like he just found out," Prowl stated flatly.

"Oh, my," Keira said while Ratchet shook his head.

"Jazz, calm Ironhide down. I'll throw the twins in the brig."

"On it, Prowl."

They both left, leaving Keira and Ratchet alone.

"Well, since everyone's up by now, want to meet the others?"

"Sure!"

Ratchet deactivated his holoform and walked over to the berth, picking Keira up and placing him on his shoulder. He was heading towards the rec room when he almost ran into Jetfire, and white and red rocket.

"What's the rush, Jetfire?"

"I heard Ironhide roar."

"Let Jazz and Prowl take care of it. Anyway, why don't you meet Keira?"

"You mean the femme that decided to take on Soundwave? This femme on your shoulder?"

"Yes."

"Well, I haven't met a braver femme. Nice to meet you, Keira," Jetfire complimented as he looked at her and he noticed that she was not really looking at him.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Jetfire."

"You can look up at me, you know? I promise I don't bite."

"I'm blind, Jetfire. I can't see like you do."

"What?! How did you fight Soundwave, then?!"

"I could see his aura. He was mostly silent but I was able to detect his footsteps as well."

"Amazing!"

"Do you transform into a jet?"

"I actually transform into a rocket. Want a ride sometime?"

"That would be great! I never have been flying before."

They heard pounding footsteps coming from down the hall and the mechs saw that it was a pink Ironhide stomping towards them.

"Ratchet! You'd better not be hiding those slaggin' twins!"

"I'm not and watch yourself."

"Why?!"

"If he just cursed, I don't mind, Ratchet. I heard the cursing of sailors before."

"That's beside the point, Keira!"

"Are you the femme Lennox talked about? He calls you 'Fox' as a nickname."

"He called me that when I was a child. Too bad he won't stop doing that."

"Why does he call you that, Keira?"

"Because I was always fast on my feet and a quick thinker. I solved some of the most complex problems as a child and I was one of the fastest on the track field despite being blind."

"That's impressive."

"What did these twins do to you that has made you upset?"

"They painted me pink and I'm not supposed to be pink!"

"Oh. Maybe they're trying to tell to lighten up."

"Eh?"

"You seem to be a serious being just like Ratchet and maybe that's why the twins target you. Perhaps they want you to have a good laugh and relax and not while drinking."

"Or they're just little demons."

"All you can do is ask them and see how they respond."

The four went over to the rec room and Keira was introduced to Bumblebee, Blurr, Blaster, Wheeljack, and many others. Keira found them interesting for all of their personalities were vibrant in their own way as well as their auras.

"This is going to be an interesting six weeks," Keira thought as she was riding Ratchet's shoulder back to med bay.

Once reaching med bay, Ratchet placed Keira back on the berth and sat down at his desk before activating his holoform and sitting down next to her on the cot. They chatted for a while then Ratchet had to get some work done. But, before he did that, he put on some music for her so she could listen to it and get some rest.

This is really going to be an interesting six weeks.
