CHAPTER 3:

Optimus leaned the wall and crossed his arms while Ratchet nagged on about last night. It was 7 A.M. in Jasper, Nevada, Optimus was with Ratchet monitoring any Decepticon activity across the world. But at the same time Ratchet started running his vocal possessors about being out at night for that long and how they could have a Decepticon ambush at base. Optimus smirked and then he got a commlink from a familiar bot.

::: Good Morning, Prime::: Arcee said with a greeting tone.

::: Good Moring my little spark mate::: Optimus responded with a smile.

::: So where are you hun?:::

::: I'm with Ratchet at the Command Center:::

::: DOING WHAT?::: Arcee said with a stern voice.

::: Nothing sweetspark!::: Optimus said; his optics widening to full size.

:::Hehehe, I know, I am just messing with you hun.:::Arcee chuckled. Optimus chuckled lightly and Ratchet turned around saying,

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?"

"What do you mean Ratchet?" Optimus said with a small smirk.

"Your laughing at something, and I didn't say a word," Ratchet said with a stern look on his face. "Are you talking to someone on the commlinks?"

"Nuh-n-no…" Optimus said with a stutter. Ratchet then scoffed and rolled his eyes and said he needed to get something from his hanger. Arcee then came out of the hall her face planted with a loving smile.

"Hi sweetie!" Arcee ran to Optimus and gave him a warm hug around his waist. Optimus places his hands around her waist and kissed her forehead tenderly.

"Recharge well sweetspark?" Optimus smiled.

"Yes, because I know that you will be here when I wake up," Arcee said, her optics sparking with glee. Optimus picked her up by her waist and kissed her lip plates lovingly. Arcee's spark raced and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Ratchet then walked in with Bulkhead and Bumblebee holding a large item chewed out during the Scraplet invasion.

They walked in on Optimus and Arcee switching energon saliva. Bulkhead's jaw dropped and his optics blinked multiple times. Bumblebee dropped his half of the large rod onto Ratchet's foot and the young mech's optics widened to full size. Ratchet yelped when the large metal rod fell on his foot. He looked up from rubbing hit metal foot and he saw Optimus carrying Arcee by her aft, carrying her to his height, both of them kissing passionately.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF PRIMUS, WHATARE YOU DOING PRIME? ARCEE?" Ratchet shouted causing Optimus and Arcee to part their kiss.

"Well…ugghhh…"Arcee said averting her eyes. Optimus set her down and she and Optimus turned their heads opposite ways.

"YOU WERE KISSING OPTIMUS!" Ratchet yelled waving his arms around over his head. Bumblebee responded with confused beeps. Bulkhead shook his large head and asked,

"What is going on here!" Arcee twisted the tip of her foot to the floor. Optimus sighed and told Arcee.

"Arcee do you want to tell them now?

"We might as well," Arcee responded with a sigh. She scooted over to Optimus and wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her helmet on his chest. Optimus hugged Arcee closer to his chest linking his arms around her small femme waist.

"Well Ratchet, Arcee and I-" Optimus was interrupted.

"Are sparkmates now!" Arcee said clinging to Optimus' arm and with a huge smile on her face. Optimus looked down at her with those "I-was-going-to-say-that" kind of looks and Arcee shrugged her shoulders and said,

"What? I wanted to finish the sentence, I wanted to tell them," the joyful femme said, saying sorry with a kiss on his cheekplate. Optimus' small frown turned into a soft smile and he kissed her forehead.

"AHH HEEEMMM!" Ratchet said with a stern look on his face. "SPARKMATES? Are you sure that is safe? The Decepticons might use that against us,"

"They will never know," Optimus said with a concern look on his face clutching Arcee tightly. Arcee then commlinked Optimus,

:::Don't worry Optimus, they won't hurt me or you.":::

:::I know my sweet, you're a very tough spark to break. And I will never let them touch you::: He responded in a protective manner.

:::I know you wouldn't and if they ever took you apart I would rip ever one of their sparks out and crush them in my hands, I just don't want you hurt…:::Arcee responded in a loving, worried manner.

Optimus then ended the commlink.

Let's just hope they won't know Optimus, let's just hope not… Ratchet thought.

"Hey Arcee, I didn't think I would have to do a car pool today with Bumblebee again, what happened?" Jack questioned, his head cocked to the side.

"Oh, ya sorry I forgot Jack, I've just been a little busy," Arcee said with a small smile. Bumblebee then whispered small beeps and noises into Raff's ear.

"WHOA REALLY? THEY ARE BEE?" Raff blurted out loudly. Arcee then turned her head sharply at them.

"WHAT?"

"N-nothing! Hehehe!" Raff said biting his lower lip.

"Oh no way! They are since when Bulkhead?" Miko questioned as she sat on Bulkhead's shoulder as they walked in to the Command Center.

"We just found out today we walked in on theeeemmm…"Bulkhead's voice started to trail off.

"DOING WHAT? DOING whaaaaa….Hiiiiii Arceeeee! "Miko tried to say casually. Arcee's optics started to widen a lot and her air vents where whirling hot air with fury. She balled up her fists and narrowed her optics towards Bulkhead and Bumblebee. She growled at them and yelled,

"BULKHEAD, BUMBLEBEE WHAT DID YOU TELL MIKO AND RAFF?" She then transformed her arm into a sonic blaster/energon blade. Optimus then came into their 'little discussion'.

"Arcee, what is going on here?" He questioned.

"That's what I'm trying to find out from these to frag bots," Arcee said retracting her weapons.

"Bumblebee, Bulkhead?" Optimus said crossing his arms. Both of the nervous bots sighed in defeat.

"We told them that you…well…ummm…sparkmates…" Bulkhead squeaked out shielding his arms above his head, Bumblebee doing the same with a few little beeps.

"WHAT?" They both said with fury. Jack then looked at Arcee with confusion and then got out his wallet. He took out $20 and gave it to Miko.

"Ha, I win the bet! Told you they would eventually get together!"Miko blurted out. She then say two pairs of optics looking right at her and She turned her head towards Optimus and Arcee; who's optics where narrowed and their faces stern.

"Oops…"Miko said. Arcee then sighed and commlinked Optimus.

:::I wasn't planning t have the kids know about it hun…:::

:::I know but what can we do, they already know.:::Optimus returned with a sigh.

:::Ya I guess, I mean who else will they tell? They can't even tell anyone we exist:::

:::You got a point, oh well. We don't have to explain anything to them, because it seems that Bulkhead and Bumblebee have already.::: They both turned their heads towards the two embarrassed bots across the room. Arcee shook her head and ended the commlink.

"So, when did this start to happen?" Jack asked placing his eyes to the floor.

"Ummm…last night…" Arcee told him averting her optics to Optimus'. Jack nodded and smiled. He was happy that Arcee was happy, she was like a big sister to him, literally, 25 feet of BIG SISTER! He then suggested Miko and Raff to a video game rally. Miko backed out and she said she was gonna tag along later. She hopped off of the catwalk and ran down the hallway to the other rooms. Arcee took Optimus hand and led him to his quarters. Miko then popped her head from the other side of the wall. She looked around her surroundings and saw that Ratchet working on the ground-bridge, Raff and Jack playing video games, and Bulkhead and Bumblebee watching them.

So Miko ran following Arcee and Optimus into his hanger.

MIKO'S POV:

Hehehe I get to see them making-out! Score! Snap shot time!

NORMAL POV:

Optimus then walked into his hanger and the large metal door shut closed before Miko could get in."Darn it!" Miko said as she walked away disappointed.

Optimus sat down in his chair with Arcee on his lap.

"Huh, who knew it would be such a fuss about us together, well you're a Prime and I'm just a regular femme."

"You're not just any femme, you're my femme," Optimus said kissing her lip plates tenderly.

"And you're my strong mech, I love you so much,"

"I love you too my little spark," Optimus said grabbing her aft. Arcee touched Optimus' face with her hand and wrapped her arms around his neck. Suddenly a Ratchet came bursting through the door and blurted out in a nervous tone,

"OPTIMUS! I FOUND READINGS OF A DARK ENERGON SOURCE GOING TOWARDS OUR BASE! AND 7 OTHER NORMAL ENERGON READINGS! AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Optimus and Arcee then parted their kiss quickly and got up.

"Megatron…" Optimus growled.

"How did they figure out the location of our base?" Arcee said concerned.

"I don't know but they are heading straight for it," Ratchet said facing his head towards the floor. Bulkhead then ran in shouting that there are 8 Decepticons just miles away from here. Arcee grabbed Optimus hand and fire up the ground bridge to the coordinates right under the Decepticons location.

"I won't let them near here without a fight, and I won't let them near you," Arcee said as she kissed Optimus' cheek and ran into the ground bridge. Optimus nodded and ran into the ground-bridge as well as Bumblebee and Bulkhead. Miko tried to get away and but Bulkhead put her down on the catwalk next to Jack; Jack held her shoulders and Miko scoffed and slapped Jack on the arm and sat down on the couch. Ratchet turned off the ground-bridge and turned on Optimus' and Arcee's commlinks and spoke to both of them.

::: Optimus, you need to avoid being severely hit by Megatron or Starscream, any hard hit will affect Arcee too, you too Arcee. But if you have any contact near your spark chambers it may account to having a spark-attack or going into stasis lock.:::

:::Don't worry Ratchet, and thanks for the tip::: Arcee said in return looking at Optimus with loving optics. Optimus kissed her forehead and then they jumped out of the ground-bridge Megatron, Starscream, and 6 other 'Cons landed in front of the four of the armed Autobots.

"What do you want Megatron?" Optimus said as he stepped on foot in front of him.

"I want to rip your spark out and destroy earth!" Megatron shouted, "And maybe even take your little femme and force her to make me little sparklings for my Decepticon army!" When Optimus heard this his air vents huffed with hot fury and anger showed in his optics. Arcee growled in fury hearing what he threatened to do to Optimus. Megatron's optics widened and an evil grin came across his face. He laughed evilly and questioned Optimus crossing his arms and tilting his head to the side,

"Oh, what's wrong Optimus? You don't like me taking your little femme bot? I might even change her programming and turn her into my little Decepticon," Arcee clenched her fists together and narrowed her optics towards Megatron.

"You will never be able to take Arcee, and for as long as my spark lives you will never be able to destroy this planet and its people," Optimus said triumphantly. Megatron chuckled and smiled evilly,

"I was hoping you would say that Prime!" Megatron shouted. Megatron lunged himself towards Optimus, blasting his null ray towards Prime's head. Prime dodged it easily and Bumblebee returned it with a counter attack with his energon blasters. Starscream then flew over and attacked Arcee, Arcee jumped up and kicked Starscream in the face with her heel. She extracted her sonic blasters and energon blades. Starscream took his claw out and started to lung towards her torso, the femme then shot Starscream in the neck, she ran towards him and jumps up and dismounted behind the winged mech. He turned around and Arcee punched him in the face. Starscream fell to the hot desert ground and he held his torso. Arcee walked towards the injured Starscream and kicked him onto his back and walked over him and ran towards Optimus.

"WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THAT LITTLE FEMME OPTIMUS?" Megatron shouted.

"SHE IS AN AUTOBOT AND WE NEVER LEAVE A TEAMMATE BEHIND!" Optimus said as he blasted Megatron in his chest. Megatron slashed at Optimus with his claws and punctured his lower armor and slowly, energon dripped down from his side. Megatron threw Optimus towards a large boulder, almost breaking Prime's back. Optimus gripped his side, groaned in pain and he blasted Megatron in the face, causing the large silver mech to soar far away from Optimus.

Arcee ran towards her injured spark mate, biting her lower lip. Seeing him injured she ran faster than she ever could in her life. She then stopped I her tracks and gripped her side and fell to her knees. She bit her lower lip and slowly got up. The hurt femme limped towards her sparkmate slowly. Bumblebee then ran towards Arcee while Bulkhead went to Optimus. Bumblebee supported Arcee over his shoulder and helped her walk towards Optimus.

Suddenly Megatron flew right over them and knocking Bulkhead away from Prime. Megatron placed a foot on Prime's chestplates and kicked him onto his back. Optimus moaned in pain and Arcee's optics then widened slightly and she cried out in pain. Megatron turned his head towards the sound and smacked Optimus across the face hard with his null ray. Optimus spit out some energon and tried to get up. Arcee shouted in pain and held the left side of her face. Megatron turned his head again towards Arcee and Bumblebee and then got a commlink from Starscream.

:::Sir, it seems that Prime and the femme are sparkmates:::

:::Really? Starscream use the shock ray on the little femme and then call for a ground bridge::: Megatron commanded. Starscream nodded and snuck up behind Arcee and Bumblebee. He shocked Bumblebee in the back, making Bee curl up into a little ball, unable to move. Starscream then shocked Arcee in the back and Arcee screamed out in pain and fell; her face down to the hot ground. Optimus looked towards Arcee; he gasped in fear for the first time in his life and then he felt a painful shock go across his wounded metal body. Megatron then looked towards Arcee once again and smiled. He walked over towards the femme.

"Thank you for your little…sparkmate Optimus," Megatron laughed evilly and called in a ground-bridge. He slung the injured femme over his shoulder and chuckled.

"O-Optimus…" Arcee said weakly.

"A-Arcee!" Optimus said with all he had left. He reached out a hand and then the ground-bridge closed. Optimus started crying energon tears over the loss of his sparkmate.

OPTIMUS POV

No, no…Arcee is in the hands of Megatron! What am I going to do? What will they do to my sweet? When I get Arcee back, he is going to regret ever taking my sparkmate. If they hurt her I will destroy all of them. Oh Arcee I hope you are not going to get hurt…
