Cybertron Prison

10:00 PM

Execution Tomorrow

The guards let Optimus and Arcee stay together for their last night together. The couple was in a corner of their cell cuddled into each other's arms and looking out the small window at the stars. They stayed in silence for a while, just enjoying each others company until Optimus heard quiet sobs from the femme on his lap.

He turned her to face him and saw tears streaming down her face. "Don't cry my love" he said softly and wiped her tears. "This isn't fair. I wanna see my children grow up. I wanna help my daughters with boy problems when their teenagers. I wanna watch you threaten boys. I wanna help my boys understand femmes. I wanna cry as they all get married and I wanna meet my grandkids, but all that can't happen because of a stupid law!" Arcee sobbed into Optimus' chest.

Optimus rubbed her back and sighed. "I know it's not suppose to end like this,but we have no defense" he whispered and Arcee sobbed loudly. Optimus did he best not to cry with her. "Remember when you first told me you were pregnant with Blaze?" he asked and she looked up at him, nodding. "Tell me the story" he whispered. "Well we had been on a mission" she started

Five and a half years ago

Wooded area in Arizona

Arcee and Optimus were on a mission scouting for an odd energon signature. "Which way?" Arcee asked as they came to a two way path. "Left" Optimus said and Arcee followed him. Truth be told Arcee had accutally told Ratchet to dump a whole bunch of low grade in the middle of the woods so she could tell the mech she was carrying.

They soon came to the small pile and Optimus blinked. "Stay here" he ordered and approched it. He opened one of the cubes and tasted it. "It's low grade" he said in confusion. He suddenly noticed something in the middle of the pile. He carefully took the cubes down as Arcee stepped closer to have a look at it. It was a container filled with dark energon, red energon, sythenic energon and normal energon. There was a data pad leaning against the container that said in blue and pink cursive letters "Surprise!". Optimus looked over at Arcee and blinked.

"Surprise" Arcee said and laughed cutely. "Your carrying" he said and Arcee nodded. "Your carrying!" he shouted happily and picked her up, spinning her around and kissing her. Arcee laughed and kissed back. "I love you" Optimus said. "I love you too" Arcee smiled.

"And then you took me back to base and told everyone" she said with a slight laugh, her tears starting to fade. "There's that pretty smile I love" Optimus said and kissed Arcee's forehelm, leaving his lips plates there. "Don't you worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard" Optimus said agaisnt her forehead.

"Optimus?" Arcee said. "Yes dear?" he asked, looking down at her. "Did you just quote Taylor Swift?" she asked in an amused tone. "I don't know what your talking about" he said and Arcee laughed. Optimus smiled at her, sadness in his optics. "I love you so much" Arcee said. "I love you much more" Optimus said as Arcee kissed his sweetly.

Judge Karmic's chambers

"Why are Optimus Prime and Arcee being charged and the other two Prime couples aren't?" Delta asked as soon she walked in the room. "What are you talking about? Those couples were already charged" DangerZone said. Delta set the data pad with all the files on it on Karmic's desk. "Then the charges were lifted or your lying to me. I'm gonna assume the second one because they should have the same penalty. Don't play slag with me Karmic I will take your aft to the council" Delta warned.

Karmic looked at her and the files then at the report Elita-one made. She stared at it. DangerZone blinked as he was passed the files. "Why do you think we did this?" Karmic asked. "Because of Arcee's parents. Now either you give me what I want or I expose you to all of Cybertron" Delta said. Karmic and DangerZone looked at each other. "What do you want?" Karmic asked.
