Emerald answers! What happens? Read it!

Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own Transformers.

Normal POV

"…Prowl…"

Prowl didn't like the tone of his love's voice one bit. It was edged with fear and nervousness. He suddenly felt like he shouldn't have asked. After all it has only been a little longer than a week that they got together. He gazed down at her again and his spark sunk when he saw tears forming in Emerald's optics. She sighed and wiped the tears away.

"Prowl… I can't… I know… I just can't Prowl… I'm sorry." she whispered.

She slid away from him and started to run. Prowl didn't go after her. He didn't want to. He just had no idea on what went wrong. He felt ashamed that he messed up. He slowly started to walk back towards the road. But not before he wiped the tears from his own optics.

Emeraldfire transformed and drove off. She just couldn't say yes. She couldn't be with anyone like that. What if something happened to her sisters and she ended up dying to save them? What if she ended up in the same condition as Shortstop and couldn't fulfill her duties? What if Prowl was destroyed before she could say yes? Emerald gasped and nearly swerved off the road but managed to gain control. Where did that come from? She had no idea but it still lingered in her CPU.

"I'm sorry." she sighed again while speeding up more.

Milkyway's POV

I was playing a game of poker with Frenzy, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, whilst having Nova telling me what's in each of their hands telepathically, when I saw Emeraldfire pass the room. Surprisingly Prowl wasn't with her. I was fully alerted at what he was going to ask my big sister tonight (of course thanks to Nova again, she sure over uses that thing) and I fully expected them to be all over each other when they came back. Didn't she say yes?

"Yo, Nova. We gotta go find Ole' Prowler." I said via our special twin sister bond. I could hear her sigh on the other end.

"I can feel his sadness from here. Let's move."

I quickly got up and walked out of the rec room, Nova following suit. Since we were her sisters we knew exactly why she did what she did, we just hoped Prowl would understand.

Me and Super Nova made it outside just in time to see Prowl pull up in front of the base. He nodded to us softly in greeting. Before he could walk away I set up my force-field so he couldn't get out.

"Milkyway, what is the meaning of this?" he growled as he struggled to get out, I could tell though that his energy was fading due to sadness, his door-wings drooping showed just that. Me and Nova frowned.

"He's taking it pretty hard. His mind is clouded by sadness." Nova whispered.

"We need to talk to you." I said softly. He looked at me for awhile then nodded. I powered down the force-field. He didn't runaway. At least he's willing to listen.

I motioned for him to follow us to a secluded area in some woods. It's where me, Nova, and Emerald went when we needed to talk. I sat down and motioned for Super Nova and Prowl to do so. He looked around like he wasn't sure about it then sighed.

"I don't need to know why, her answer is her answer." he whispered. I rolled my optics.

"She didn't tell you did she?" Nova said. Prowl looked at her with a look that said 'what the hell are you talking about'. I knew what my sister was talking about, I just didn't know if she should tell him. I nodded to her for her to go on.

"We never grew up with a father. When we asked our mother she said that he hurt her and would hurt us." Nova started.

"And after hearing that Emeraldfire wasn't sure how spark-mates acted to each other. She became afraid." I finished.

Prowl stared at us with a look of shock slapped on his face. I just smiled softly.

"She learned though. But it came at a price. Her friend had spark-mate, happiest couple she ever saw. But then her friend passed away in battle, the spark-mate soon following after."

"She's afraid of killing the other half on accident." Nova sighed. I could tell she was thinking of Soundwave again.

"Your prince charming's fine, although he isn't very charming." I snickered. She glared at me.

"Go jump in an acid pit." Nova growled. I wiped the smirk off my face and went back to staring at Prowl. He was sitting there with his head in his hands.

"You alright Prowler?"

"Only your sister can call me that." he growled jokingly. I smiled. I stood up and walked over to the black and white mech.

"Let's get you home." I said while trying to help him up. "Nova needs to go spy on Ratchet to see if her boyfriend is okay." I could hear Nova use a radio clip and make a cat hissing noise. I burst out laughing while Prowl chuckled a bit.

When we transformed and drove off we didn't happen to see a pair of violet optics watching us.

Prowl's POV

I came up to the base for the second time around midnight, Milkyway and Super Nova following close behind. Once we transformed they immediately ran to their shared quarters. Something about a TV show called America's Best Dance Crew (favorite competition show). I hung back though. I decided to leave Emerald alone for a little while.

I was about to head back to my quarters when I heard something strange. It was like a small explosion. I quickly brushed the thought away and started walking again. Then the sound came clearer. It was an explosion. I started to run to the command center.

Then the explosion became louder and something else echoed it. It was a scream. But a different kind of scream, it was way to loud. Then suddenly every window in the base shattered. I only knew of one person who could do that.

"Emerald!"

Cliffy! Sorry if this chappy is to short. Please Review!
