ATE: I'm gonna apologize in advance for this chapter being short and all. Big thanks to Diamond White and Manderss.x.x for their reviews. For those who've read TDATS this part of the story should seem familiar. Enjoy!

Declaimer: I don't own Transformers or Transformers Armada. I only own my OC Astera.

Chapter 6

More time passed and Jetfire was now 100,000 years old. It had been difficult at first, but she had managed to raise him on her own for 50,000 years. They were so close to each other now because they had to help each other cope with the loss of Silverbolt. But Astera couldn't help but feel somewhat sad that Jetfire couldn't really remember his father. In fact, he never mentioned his dream that he had of the human femme anymore. Had that dream stop appearing since he had told her? She wasn't sure.

At the moment Astera and Jetfire where sitting at the table in the kitchen drinking energon. She couldn't help but think that in just 80,000 years her son would have no choice but to enlist in the military. She would be lying if she said she didn't dread that day. She knew that day would come, but she wasn't ready to let go of her little Jetfire. Where did all the years go? It was funny. When they say "they grow up so fast" they really mean it.

"Mom?"

Astera looked up at Jetfire.

"What is it?" She asked.

"How did you and dad meet before you became sparkmates?" He asked.

Astera thought back on that day when she had met Silverbolt all those years ago. She could help the nostalgia she felt.

"It happened 10,000 years before you were born when I first met your father. I had been working at the Autobots' headquarters as one of Ratchet's assistances. I was helping him repair the soldiers that were there when your father was brought in with some other soldiers. He had dents everywhere and his leg had been shot at. Ratchet assigned me to work on him and as soon as he saw me he said something that I would never forget."

"What was that?"

"'I think I've offlined and went to the Well of All Sparks.' Even though that was the first time we met, we knew that as soon as we saw each other that we were sparkmates."

"How did you know that dad was the right one?"

At this Astera smiled.

"Even before we're created Primus chooses who will become our sparkmates." She told him. "It's all a matter of finding the one He chose to be your sparkmate."

"But how do you know if you found the right one?" Jetfire asked.

"You just do. You'll know when the time comes, my little Jetfire."

She saw the thoughtful look on Jetfire's face as he took in this information. He then looked up as her with his gold optics.

"I wonder who my sparkmate will be or what she looks like. Whoever she is, I hope you like her!"

"Oh, sweetspark." She laughed. "It doesn't matter who she is, I know I'll love her either way."

Jetfire grinned.

"If I knew what she looked like it'd be easier to find her!"

"You're just like your father when it comes to humor! But you're a little young to get bonded."

"Bonded?" He gave her a confused look.

"I'll tell you when you're older." She said.

Astera was surprised that Jetfire was curious about his sparkmate. Apparently he no longer dreamed of her dancing for him. She was curious as well to know what his sparkmate would be like.

ATE: And there you have it! Personally, it took me awhile to come up with how Astera and Silverbolt met today as I wrote this. I thought of many scenerios, but the one I used seemed more likely to happen and more realistic than her running into him in a city or something. Plus, it would explain how Astera knew Ratchet in the previous chapter.
