Chapter 4
Phoenix's First Date
"You picked a good mech to fall in love with." Ultra Magnus said to both fembots.
"Well what can I say? We both are party bots. And he has some sweet moves and good taste in clubs, music, and energon. Not to mention he knows how to win a girl's spark." Nightshocker said while holding Jazz's hand. Phoenix blushed and kept messing with her cup of energon.
"Well you both have my blessings. And so do you, Phoenix, you and Optimus have my blessing as well." Ultra Magnus said with a smile
"And my blessing as well. You couldn't have found a better mech for yourself. He's honest, brave, heroic, and strong." Nightshocker said with a smile to be young fembot.
"Plus he will never cheat or keep secrets from you. He is one honorable bot." Jazz said with a smile.
"He's like a younger Magnus." Nightshocker said. Ultra Magnus smiled.
"Yes in some ways, but the things we have in common are small, but I still have high hopes for Optimus, but him and Sentinel broke a law and Optimus took the blame for, so he had to be expelled from Autobot Academy. I managed to get him his own ship and now he has proven the Council wrong." Ultra Magnus said.
"What law did they break? The curfew law?" Nightshocker asked with a teasing grin.
"No him, Sentinel, and Elita One went to an organic planet. To get some energon from a Decepticon warship that that had crashed landed there. In the end it costs them the spark of Elita One." Ultra Magnus said with a small frown.
"Wow." Nightshocker said a little surprised.
"Was it Optimus or Sentinel that suggested they go to the warship?" Phoenix asked.
"Optimus said it was him but I believe it was Sentinel, but I have no proof." Ultra Magnus said. Phoenix just nodded. She still liked Optimus and really wanted to get to know him. "Nightshocker why don't you go get Phoenix ready for her date with Optimus?" Ultra Magnus suggested with a smile. Phoenix got in oh-shit look on her face.
"Gladly." Nightshocker said with an evil smile at the young fembot. Nightshocker handed Prowl to Jazz, and then she dragged Phoenix off and gave her some new makeup and polished her up.
As the time for her very first date drew near, Phoenix began to get nervous. Then Optimus showed up. Phoenix wanted to run and hide but Nightshocker pushed her to the door. "Go on, and just relax." Nightshocker whispered.
Phoenix took a deep breath and opened the door. "H-hi." Phoenix said shyly to Optimus. Optimus notice she we did her makeup and polished herself up. He felt a little underdressed because Ratchet just gave him a quick polish.
"Hi. You look amazing." He said with a smile. She blushed.
"Thank you. You look amazing too." She said with a shy smile. She noticed he tried to polish himself up. Optimus then held his hand out to her and she took it. They then left, with Phoenix smiling as Optimus showed her to the city.
"Why don't we get some energon?" He asked while leading heard to his favorite place to get some energon. It was a small restaurant.
"Hey Optimus, how have you been?" Asked the waiter. He knew Optimus because Optimus came by a lot, and helped out a lot.
"Hey guys. It's been a while." Optimus said with a smile.
"Who's your lady friend?" The cook asked
"This is Phoenix. Phoenix this is Weldon." Optimus said while pointing to the waiter.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Weldon said while holding his hand out to her. She took it and shook it.
"And the cook is Pythagorean." Optimus said with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to meet you little lady. It's good to see Optimus with a girlfriend." Pythagorean said with a smile.
"Now you two go have a seat, and everything is on the house." Weldon said with a smile.
"I can't have you guys do that. I have plenty of creds to pay for our energon." Optimus said.
"Nope, you save those creds to get your lady friend a nice present." Weldon said.
"And besides you brought down Megatron so you deserve a little praise from us." Pythagorean said. Phoenix smiled. She didn't know he was so popular.
"And plus you fixed our cashier and stove before you left and we couldn't repay you." Weldon said.
Optimus sighed. "Alright." He said with a smile. He then took Phoenix to his usual booth.
"I didn't know you were so popular." She said with a smile. He smiled back as they sat next to each other.
"I just helped out a few times." Optimus said with a smile.
"More than a just a few times, he helped us rebuild this place after some prankster blew it up. He also bravely fixed 3 gas leaks, and he didn't want a single cred for it." Weldon said while bringing them a glass of energon each.
"Really?" She asked with a loving smile.
"Yes, he is a good mech, very rare to find. So take good care of him for us." Weldon said with a wink.
"Don't worry I will." She said while leaning against Optimus a little. He then wrapped his arm around her.
"I'll be back with two of your usuals." Weldon said with a smile.
"Thanks Weldon." Optimus said
"You're welcome." Weldon said while smiling and then left.
"You are a kind sparked mech aren't you?" She asked with a smile. Optimus blushed.
"I guess I am. I always wanted to help those in need no matter the cost to me." He said with a smile.
"I guess that's one thing we have in common." Phoenix said with a smile. She moved closer to him and placed her hand on his chest. Optimus took her hand into his.
"Yes it is." He said while giving her a loving smiled. She smiled up at him. After they ate, Optimus decided to show her to a club/bar. Truth be told this was his first time being in one himself.
