Later that day, Arcee was resting, but mostly her processor was flicking over to wonder how Tailgate survived, and just randomly popped up in the Medical Bay! The dog, that the kids now named 'Tech' was helping Arcee by giving her some compony.

Cliffjumper was also trying to come to terms with it as well, while also trying to keep Tailgate away from Arcee while trying to do his duties, it was rather stressful.

It was actually normal for mech's to act in such a defensive way, Cybertronians are territorial over their partners.

Tailgate felt proud in himself for trying to mess with Cliffjumper's processor, and it was working quiet well, as he checked his blue and white flame paint-job, as the he sharpened the two horns on his head. Tailgate's frame shape looked exactly like Cliffjumper's, but there personalities were very different.

Tailgate was more up tight, and stuck up in himself, and was more like a mix of Ratchet and Optimus.

Proud, A leader, but stuck up, grouchy, and just a plain old pain in the aft.

Cliffjumper was more hung back, and calm and fun, and wasn't stuck up at all, but he can be too stupid at times that life and death comes into the situation.

Cliffjumper was walking down the hall with Miko in his servo, as he tried to get a girls-point-of-view on this type of situation, while the other Autobot's were out on recon, and weren't around to hear anything.

"Well…you're stuck." Well…that was helpful.

Cliffjumper grumbled, as he continued to walk along the dark halls that were poorly lit, as Miko sat comfortably in his servo.

"Miko, give me real information on what to do!" Cliffjumper was now getting serious as he narrowed his optics slightly

"Alright…well just make sure that Tailgate doesn't spend too much time with her, and for now, you really have to start flirting with her, so she knows she isn't getting mixed signals" Miko stated, as she looked up at Cliffjumper, as her eyes showed that she didn't know what to do either, so he really was going to take a shot in the dark.


Later, Cliffjumper was walking through the halls alone while the kids were at school, then suddenly he felt a digit tap him on the shoulder, as he turned around and was face to face with Tailgate, as Tailgate had a sneer over his face, as he suddenly pushed Cliffjumper to the ground

"What the heck, Tailgate?!" Cliffjumper quickly jumped to his feet, and growled at Tailgate, as the two unknowingly started to circle each other, in a defensive manner

"What is you're problem?!" Cliffjumper jeered

"Whats my problem? What's you're problem!" Tailgate suddenly smashed into Cliffjumper, as they locked arms, and tried to push each other back, as it created sparks under foot, as they scrapped the ground, desperately trying to push the other back.

It was horrifying to see Cliffjumper so…aggressive, and dangerous.

But it was completely natural for mechs to act this defensive, it is still shown today in modern animals.

"Cliffjumper? Tailgate?" Suddenly the mechs optics widened as the look over and only a few feet away was Arcee standing there, with her servo on the bandages on her waist, as her optics were slightly widened, mixed with curiosity and fright.

"What are you two doing?" Arcee asked, with a slight tremble in her voice, Tailgate and Cliffjumper remained still, as they were still in the arm lock, then they suddenly let go of each other, and tried to act innocent

"Uhh, nothing, just messin about, Cee" Tailgate chuckled, as he put Cliffjumper's head into a arm lock, and gave Cliff and noogie on the head, Cliffjumper grumbled for a few seconds but put on a goofy smile to try and convince Arcee that it was true

"…Alright, well im going to go get Jack from school, you wanna come Cliff?" Arcee asked, as Cliffjumper smiled, and pulled himself out of Tailgates grip

"Sure Cee" Cliffjumper smirked at Tailgate, as he only sneered in response, as Arcee took off the bandages on her waist, as the two mechs could only see a massive welding mark on her stomach

"I can buff that out later, come on" Arcee transformed, and sped out of the tunnel like a bullet, as Cliffjumper smiled and transformed, darting out of the base, hot on Arcee's trail.

Once Cliffjumper caught up with Arcee, he sighed in relief, he just felt…calm.

"So Cliff, whats been happening in the field while I've been out of action?" Arcee asked, putting on her holographic driver, as they became closer to town

"Ha! There isn't no action on the field if you aren't there Cee" Cliffjumper swerved to the side close to Arcee, and gently tapped the side of her in his vehicle mode

"Haha, but seriously, I've been missing the outdoors, and Ratchet keeps grumbling about how I should watch out next time, and that's when I just turn out, and just ignore him" Arcee chuckled, as Cliffjumper laughed, then he started to giggle like a little femme sparkling

"Cliff? You alright?" Arcee asked

"N-n-nah! Something's tickling me!" Cliffjumper laughed and rolled down his tinted windows for Arcee to see the dog 'Tech' running about inside Cliffjumper, all over his seats and making Cliffjumper laugh and giggle at the ticklish touch

"Cliff, Tech managed to sneak inside of you" Arcee giggled, as Cliffjumper laughed and started to swerve side to side on the road, then suddenly Cliffjumper hit into Arcee, as the two went flying off the road, and down a ditch, as their falling bodies caused a rise of dust.

Both of them transformed and rolled down the ditch, as Cliffjumper grabbed a hold of Tech and held him close to his chest, making sure that Tech didn't get hurt.

Suddenly Cliffjumper hit the bottom of the ditch, as he landed on his front, as he felt water, like a small stream drip under him, but he landed on something, as Tech once again slipped out of Cliffjumper's grip, as Cliffjumper could hear Tech run off barking.

Cliffjumper's optics were still closed, but he slowly started to open them too see he was face to face with Arcee, as Arcee was laying in the stream with Cliffjumper pinning her down, keeping her in the stream, as the water seeped between her armor.

Cliffjumper blushed and swallowed hard, as he puts on a goofy grin which made Arcee giggle, as she didn't seem to mind being in the water, even though it was drenching her

"That. Darn. Dog." Cliffjumper grumbled as he looked up trying to see Tech, but Arcee placed both her servos on his cheeks and made him lock optics with her once again

"I don't think Tech is that bad" Arcee smiled sweetly, which sent Cliffjumper's spark racing, as his cheeks heated up

"Cliff, we still need to pick up the kids" Arcee said, gently tapping on Cliffjumper's chest, silently telling him to get up, as he quickly obeyed, not wanting to upset Arcee in any way

Arcee was soaking wet, as Cliffjumper was only partly wet, thanks for Arcee's body keeping most of him out of the water

Arcee quickly transformed and zipped out of the water and up the ditch walls, as Cliffjumper quickly hunted down Tech and then transformed with Tech inside, and safe, as he zipped up the hill and followed Arcee into town.

Outside of school, Jack, Miko and Raf finally came out, to see Cliffjumper and Arcee in their vehicle forms.

"Cliff, where's Bulk and Bee?" Miko said hoping inside along with Raf

"What? Im not a good enough of a guardian?" Cliffjumper chuckled, as the dog suddenly jumped from the back seat to the front, and onto Raf's lap, as it curled up and fell asleep.

"Arcee, you're soaking wet!" Jack exclaimed

"Why are you so freaking wet?!" Jack asked, slightly curious but wanting answers more than ever

"Because."

"Because why?" Jack repeated himself

"Because. That's my answer, deal with it." Arcee grumbled, as Jack sighed and throwed the conversation over his shoulder.

Cliffjumper was smirking on the inside, as he craved Arcee's snappy behaviour.

When they finally got back to base, so did all the Autobots

"Smoky mech!" Cliffjumper walked in the base towards the incoming Autobot's coming through the ground-bridge as Cliff had his arms wide open, asking for a hug from the Autobot Smokescreen

"Yo bud!" Both of them bro hugged, and then Wheeljack and Bumblebee started to play-fight and soon all the young mechs joined while Ratchet just scoffed and went back to work along with Optimus.

Tailgate was strangely quiet, as he leaned up against the door frame on the other side of the room.

"I'll get you Cliffjumper…cross my spark." Tailgate grumbled to himself, as he walked out of the room and down the dimly lite hallway.

All the mech's could feel some tension in the air, and that made the younger mech's very worried.

Optimus also knew that the mech's were on end, as Arcee didn't seem to notice, maybe it was her cocky attitude or she just ignored it?

Optimus knew it was only a matter of time before someone snapped…
