Haayy. So uh hi. I apologize for how long this has taken. I have been working on this and it has taken me a while but I have finally finished and I hope you all find it okay. Also in this chapter I have started to set up a little back story sort of. I don't know how to explain it but you will see . So anyways. Hope you enjoy the chapter and tell me if I screwed anything up.

June hopped up into the cab of the car and slid the seat belt on as Optimus shut the door and started to drive off. It was silent for a moment as they drove round the block heading towards one of Optimus's favorite places on this fair planet. Optimus thought about what she was going to say to June so as not to offend but still get her point across.
The last Prime prided herself on her words and she always thought before she spoke. So she decided to wait until they arrived at their destination.

It took only about ten minuets to arrive. June got out and Optimus transformed. June looked around and saw that Optimus had taken them to a small wooded area with a rather large pound in it surrounded by trees and desert shrubbery. It was a warm summer night so June decided to place her feet in the pool. There was a thud as Optimus sat beside her. June felt so stupid. She had done so many stupid things and she felt, stupid. So that's why when Optimus spoke, June cut the other woman off.

"Mrs. Darby."

"Wait Optimus. Please let me explain first." Optimus nodded her helm in agreement. "Ever since my husband left us, I have been consumed with trying to raise Jack and put him threw school, and keep a roof over his head. Now that he is older and able to support himself I don't have as much to do. He is hardly ever at home. Either with your autobots or at work and," She paused as she tried to hold back tears.

"Mrs. Darby. Its,..."

"No please let me finish. For the first time in 13 years, I have been able to think about myself. And I realized that I am lonely. Jack is the mast important part of my world and I love him more then any man. But he is getting older and he is soon going to be moving away. I just wanted someone who could keep me company. So yes I was stupid to bring Greg into my life and introduce him to Jack but you don't get how lonely I am. All I have is Jack and my work."

Optimus worked to keep back a laugh. "Mrs. Darby. I may not be human but I do know the feeling of loneliness. And contrary to popular belief, I did once have feelings, and I once shared them with someone. I loved him and thought he loved me, but in the end I found that he didn't feel such things for me. I then became a Prime and did away with such emotions." June looked up at the great Prime. She had no idea who she was talking about. But the fact that Optimus had just shared this piece of her past with a woman she hardly new. I touched her deeply.

"Now even though I may be able to grasp why you did what you did does not mean that I think it was the smartest thing to do. Jack has been physically and mentally scared by your actions. The actions may not have been yours specifically but by your actions, he has been hurt." Optimus was shocked by how quickly June dissolved into tears. Optimus had never been vary good at human emotion or any emotion for that matter. So when it came to consoling she never new what to do.

"What can I do, t-to make it u-up to him." Now Optimus smiled. She was glade the at least June wanted to make it up to Jack.

"I have found that apologizing and showing your sincerity helps." June sniffed a couple more times before getting up. She looked over at Optimus as she wiped her tears away.

"I would like to go back to my house now. I have some things I need to do there." Optimus nodded her helm and transformed into her auto mode and they drove back to the house.

Optimus came to a stop just outside of the Darby house letting June exit. "Thank you Optimus." She said before quickly shutting the door and walked into the house. Optimus smiled to herself as she made her way down the road. She contacted Ratchet for a bridge back to the base.

"Where were you Optimus? I couldn't reach you. Is everything all right?" Optimus felt her Spark warm at her friends concern.

"Everything is all right Ratchet. I was just taking care of some business."

"Well on a unrelated note, the children had left on the television and it said that the officials of this world caught a man named Greg something or other and they said he was trying to escape over a border to Canadia. What a funny name. Well I found it interesting that a major criminal who had stolen and killed was taking such a risk as crossing a border and another that he was trying to cross a sort of electrified border in a regular car. Such a simple thing to get caught over. I mean,.."

"Ratchet that sounds fascinating and I am glade something on this planet has caught you attention. I would love to hear more about it but maybe when I return and we are on watch tonight."

"Oh of course. Would you still like a bridge home?" She couldn't help but feel exasperated by her friend.

"No. I am close enough to finish the drive. Actually, if you like you could bridge to my coordinates and we could go for a short drive. It is a lovely night and I would love to go for a drive with an old friend. And you can tell me the rest of your,..." There was suddenly a ground bridge and Ratchet came rolling out.

"So about those boarders."

Transformers Prime!

The lord of the Decepticons looked out over the world the Nemesis flew above. His spark was laden with thoughts of the past. When things were easier. When he had all he ever needed but not what he wanted. He had the love of his life and he had pushed her away. Now they were arch enemy's and she couldn't stand the site of him. He paced back and forth until Starscream brought one of the Vhericons to him.

"He has been leaking secrets to some of the Earth scum." The leader walked over and he saw the Vhericon shaking with fear. It was a fear he had gotten to know well from all around him and he treasured it. He walked over and asked some questions. He only got shaky answers. So he decided that it would be best since this Vhericon was now useless, to ripped out his spark.

He felt a rush as the energon driped from his servose. This was why he had given up the love of his spark. This was why he would never apologize to her for it. The power. The control. He turned back towards the looking sphere as Starscream had the body removed. He returned to looking at the world that he would one day concur. "One day, you will both be mine."
