"Prime. What is this I hear about the newspark attending a 'camp'? In the care of humans?"

"Megatron, it is good to hear from you. Yes, she is indeed attending daycamp. The humans give her excellent care, as if she were one of their own younglings. She has no batchmates of her age; what else would you have me do?"

"She's not old enough to be away from you for that long!"

"According to Ratchet six hours of separation is well within developmental guidelines, and Happy has not at all been distressed. Her processor thrives on new experiences, as well as the interaction with other younglings, and she enjoys her camp very much. It is my own spark that has struggled to adjust, I'm afraid."

"Happy. Which of your sentimental, soft-sparked Autobots named her? Or was it you, Prime."

"She named herself, on the day she first found words."

"Ah."

"She has brought home two earthworms from camp. One she calls 'Megatron,' because it is the biggest and the fattest, she says."

"A...worm."

"Megatron-worm and Bumblebee-worm share a home of newspaper and vegetable scraps. Happy is very fond of them."

"Prime…what..."

"Yes?"

"I...hrm. She knows something of me, then."

"We have shown her something of all who are a part of her. Not everything. She is, as you have pointed out, still very young."

"And she is well?"

"Yes, very well. I was concerned, to bring forth a newspark so far from Cybertron, but she flourishes, my brother."

"And...you?"

"Me?"

"Slaggit, Optimus. Don't evade my question."

"Megatron, I will answer you if I can, but you need to be a little less cryptic."

"To incubate a newspark as you did can be hazardous, Prime. You, you Primus-damned self-sacrificing idiot. Are you well?"

"Ah. Yes, I am healing. I am well."

"See that you stay that way."

"Yes, brother."

"Is she there with you now? Happy?"

"She is recharging here, on my chestplates. Her camp keeps her very busy; she rests well and deeply when she returns to process all that she has learned. Would you like a visual feed?"

"I...yes."
