Chapter Three

Ratchet walked into Prowl's office, a highly amused smiled on his face.

"Ratchet?" Prowl said slightly surprised to see the CMO in his office.

"Prowl."

"Did you give the twins a check up?" he asked wondering why the medic was smiling so much.

"I did."

"And?" he was getting tired of playing questions, it was the sort of behaviour he'd expect from Jazz not from Ratchet.

To Prowl's great surprise Ratchet placed a medkit on his desk.

"Just in case." The medic said the smile still planted firmly on his face.

Prowl resisted the urge to sigh, "Ratchet, will you please just tell me what you have found out."

The white and red mech couldn't help but chuckle, "They're in love, Prowl."

The tactician stared at the ambulance a while before running a check on his audios making sure he'd heard him right. Ratchet waited patiently and watched the Datsun with a keen optic, ready in case the second in command suddenly fritzed.

"In love?" Prowl finally repeated. The medic gave a nod, "Do you know with who? How can you be so sure?"

"A human fe..." Ratchet didn't get to finish as he heard a 'thunk' sound and looked down to see the Datsun offline on his desk. He couldn't help but chuckle as he opened his medkit. "I thought I might need you." He joked to kit as he went about onlining the second in command again.

"So, tell me everything that happened." A blonde haired blue-eyed woman said eager to hear everything her friend had to tell her.

"Jade, surely you should know how it all goes by now." The brown haired brown-eyed female sitting opposite said.

"Sam, you been on at least four dates with this guy. Four entirely different dates, so you can't tell me that they were all the same."

The woman chuckled, "Okay okay, calm down before you strain something." She joked. Neither of the two women noticed when a yellow Lamborghini parked on the other side of road opposite the café they were sitting at. "So, he came round and surprised me with a picnic basket…"

"Oh how sweet. He took you on a picnic, where'd you go? Did the two of you get up to anything while there?" Jade said slightly suggestive.

"Jade!" Sam said in shock and surprise while also a little embarrassed.

"So something did happen."

"Do you want me to continue or not?" Sam said slightly annoyed.

"Oh I'm all ears." Jade chuckled.

"So while we're walking I ask him where we're going, he just kept saying that it was a surprise."

"Which made you wanna know even more, right?" Jade said getting more excited as Sam went on. "Sorry." She apologised upon seeing the annoyed look her friend gave her.

"It was worth the wait though. Coz Jade, that place was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. It was like a virtual paradise, beautiful tall green trees, a gorgeous sparkling lake and the only sound…was nature. I tell you it was perfect." She sighed dreamily as she remembered the place.

"Sounds heavenly." Jade said as she put her elbow on the table and rested her chin on her hand also having a dreamy look in her blue eyes.

Across the road Sunstreaker couldn't help but growl at all the things he was hearing. Things had been fine until this other human turned up, now Sam barely had time for him and his brother thanks to that guy.

Spying again, Sunshine.

Slag off. He replied.

Awww, come on Bro. You know I don't mean it. Sideswipe said.

I said slag off, Sides.

Damn, Sunny. What's got you so upset?

Sam's talking about her date. He said the word with hate.

So you are…wait, what? She…she's…oh Primus.

After coming out of her daze, Sam casually looked across the street. Sunstreaker? What's he doing here? Has he been listening the whole time? She thought as she stared at the Lamborghini.

"Sam? What's wrong?" Jade asked also coming out of her daze and looking over at what she was staring at.

"I'm going to have to have to go, Jade. I'll catch up with you later, k?" getting up to leave.

"O-okay sure." Surprised at the sudden change of subject and departure of her long time friend.

Sam walked across the street a curious expression on her face. "Sunstreaker?" receiving no reply she gently put her hand on the Lamborghini's roof. "Sunstreaker, is everything okay?"

"Fine." Came a gruff reply.

Startled by the tone of his voice Sam backed off a little. "Are you sure? I haven't upset you in anyway, have I? If I have I'm truly sorry." The concern in both her face and voice was truly evident.

As much as Sunstreaker wanted to say yes and yell at her, he found he couldn't. Her concern for him touched him, it was still hard to believe that she actually preferred to hangout with him and his brother rather than any other Autobot. At least…she did, until she met him. The yellow mech growled slightly as he remembered that.

"Perhaps I should go, I only seem to be making you more angry." Sam said hearing the growl and started back across the street.
