Blades sighed as he watched Kade walk off with Hayley along with Graham and a girl named Mary for their double date. Dani and Taylor already left for their date and Cody & Frankie left for their; "It's not a date!" date. Blades looked towards where Charlie Burns was talking on the phone with somebody he met at a coffee shop.
Looking outside he saw two squirrels chasing each other. Everybody had somebody! Everybody except him. Sighing Blades goes down to the bunker to...think! Yeah. Think. Not sulk. Think.

Blades gently stroked Cody's head as the boy slept on his lap. Blades sighed and started to think about finding a femme to settle down with and having some sparklings once the war was done and over with. She had to be bubbly, have a sense of humor...he needed to write this down!
Grabbing a data pad he started to write everything down smiling.
1. Bubbly
2. Good sense of humor
3. Enjoy human TV
4. Not hate Cody or Dani
5. Must want kids
6. Will let us have a pet
7. Must be nice
8. Must let baby Cody as much as I want
9. Must like infomercial's
10. Help me cook
11. Must like cartoons
12. Must not care that I'm a rescue bot
With that done Blades put the pad down and picked up his young charge. Laying down properly Blades yawned before carefully kissing Cody's forehead. "I hope I'll be able to meet the right femme." He says softly.

Blades hummed as he carefully carried a sleeping teenage Cody on his shoulder. The war was finally over and he got to see Cody grow up. A femme had joined not to long ago and...she seems nice. Personally he didn't like her all that much.
Humming louder Blades gently laid the boy down and onto one of his large pillows. "You make a good dad."
Jumping Blades turned and rolled his optics when he saw Razorwing. "Hi Razor. Try to stay quiet ok? Cody hasn't been getting enough sleep lately. He's been having really bad nightmares since we found that Decepticon down on the beach." Blades says softly.
"Got it big guy. He ok now? Heard him crying earlier." Razor said softly.
"Yeah. He's fifteen now and his whole family is gone. Kade and Hayley moved out last year, then Taylor and Dani moved out and then even Graham and Amy! I'm just glad they all just moved a block away so us bots can stay here. Primus knows Cody needs us." Blades says softly as Cody stirs a little before he settles down when Razor gentle pats his back.
"Where's Charlie?" Razor asked softly.
"He's at Rachael's house. I think he's trying to replace Cody's mom. Cody said that he was the only one to go to her grave this year. Cody and him got into a fight which resulted in Charlie going over to Rachael's. I hate that lady." Blades growls.
"Not as much as Cody...do you wanna watch some infomercials? We can probably find something that'll cheer Cody up." Razor says softly.
Blades smiles and nods.

It's been a year since Blades and Razorwing were bonded. Currently Razor is pregnant with their second child. Their first born, Shadow Blade, was on her mothers tummy as her baby brother kicked up a storm. "I HATE YOU BOTH!"
Blades sighed as he waited for Cody to come sliding down. Chief Burns and Rachael's wedding was six months ago and Cody still couldn't accept it. It really didn't help that Cody found out that Frankie had been cheating on him and that Kade and Hayley were thinking about moving off the island.
Cody was slowly losing his family and Blades vowed that he would never let Cody scar hinself again. Blades waited. And waited. And waited. And wa-BOOM!
The whole family jumped and looked towards the Burns home that was above them when they heard screaming. "Go. I'll stay here with Shadow." Razor said softly.
Blades nodded and quickly changed into his holo matter form and ran to the elevator with Heatwave, Boulder and Chase. But what they saw would haunt them forever. Cody was dead. He had killed himself with his fathers 9mm gun. And in the note he left for Blades it told him everything the poor boy was going through. Blades had never hated a human more than he did now. He officially hated Charlie and Rachael Burns.
Blades watched as the casket lowered into the ground. It wasn't a suitable day for a wedding. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, the sun was shining. Cody Burns was being laid to rest today and Rachael Burns didn't even bother to show. Good. Now if only Charlie hadn't came then it would be much easier to mourn.
Dani and Taylor cried in their seats while Graham stared in shock at the casket. He still couldn't believe his only little brother was dead. Amy, his wife, was sobbing into their two year olds hair. Kade was gripping his pant legs as he sobbed with Hayley and Stacy, their daughter. Heatwave, Boulder, Chase, Quick Shadow, High Tide and Servo were holding back their own tears since their were many more humans here.
Like Frankie with her new boyfriend Steven, Doc Greene and Mrs. Greene, Doctor Morocco and a few other towns people. As soon as the laying to rest was done Blades stepped up to the podium and cleared his throat.
"I am Blades of the Rescue bots and I wanted to say something. Cody Burns was like a son to me. He told me why he hated Rachael and why he shot himself. In his letter good-bye to me he said that when ever Charlie wasn't around Rachael would verbally and physically abuse him. He said the pain was becoming to much but at least he had his big brothers and sisters along with his girlfriend Francine Frankie Greene. But then he saw her cheating on him with Steven one night. He didn't want to believe it but when he saw the two kiss he knew it was true. Then he found out that his big brother and his family were moving off the island. He was losing everything and everyone he loved. So he decided enough was enough. He couldn't take the pain anymore. He shot himself in the brain." Blades says.
Turning back to his team he stops. "I have a ship coming for myself and my family in one hour. If anyone even talks about Cody in a way I don't like then I won't hesitate when I pick you up and dangle you over the rapids." He growled.
It's been nearly twenty years later and Blades was looking out of his front window and to the crystal gardens not to far away. "Sire! Sire!"
Looking to his right Blades smiled when he saw all five of his kids. "Yes kiddos?" He says as he picks up his youngest.
"Carrier was talking about somebody named Cody to Uncle Chase. Who's Cody?" Shadow Blade asks.
Blades smiled fondly. "Well he was a human on Earth that..."
