Arianna wakes up the next morning to a quiet base. She must have fallen asleep watching Netflix. The Autobots all left to take the humans to school. Arianna sits up and looks around. Optimus was sitting at the computer, looking at a few things. Arianna gets up and walks over to to the edge of the railing to be near him.

"Morning." Arianna says with a smile.

"Good morning Arianna, did you. sleep well?" He looks at his daughter and smiles.

"I did, what about you?"

"The powerdown was rather restful." He said simply, as he held out his hand to her. Arianna climbs onto his hand. The fairy wanted to ask him something, but was a little hesitant to ask.

"Can I ask you something?" Arianna cringed on the inside, she basically just did ask him a question.

The Prime brought his daughter close to him, still resting her in his hand.

He looked down at her, and she looks up at him. "You may."

"Is...is that okay if I call you Dad?"

"Of course it is my child."

Arianna grins up at Optimschoold hugs his finger. She couldn't believe how lucky she is. Optimus Prime is real, and her father. Arianna knew that she had a lot to learn about her own kind, and Cybertron.

"Dad?" Arianna smiles, liking to be able to say that and not get hurt.

"If I am cybertronian, why do I look like a human?"

Optimus smiled fondly at his daughter, happy that he finally had her back.

"Well.."

"It's ok if you don't know, Dad."

"I know why, you are a fairy, not a normal cybertronian." He said simply.

"Oh, okay." Arianna leans against her father and smiles up at him.

"I'm glad you're real and my dad. Though, I keep expecting I'm gonna wake up and find out this is all a dream." Arianna hesitated. "Before I knew you were real, when I watched Transformers Prime, you where my favorite character."

He smiled kindly at his child.

"I am happy I was already your favorite before you knew about this." He then lifted her up to be optic to optic. Arianna smiles and hugs his face.

"I love you Dad." And she did. She never felt so loved, and wanted before. Even though Optimus never said it, she could tell, by his actions, and she could feel it. Arianna looks up into his optics. Optimus smiles slightly at her attempt hug.

"I love you too, my child." Arianna looks up at him and ends the hug.

"I have a goal. I'm going to make you laugh." In the show, Optimus hardly ever smiled, but he seems to be smiling a lot since she got here. Arianna knows that they are in a middle of a war, but you still can have a little bit of fun. Optimus held her close before pulling her away.

He then chuckled softly at her goal, it was a good one. Arianna smiles at the chuckle.

"You may try my child, you should be able to do so." He said. The war had been hard, but when his daughter was lost, it was hard to smile when his spark was broken.

"In the show, you hardly even smile, that's why I making it my goal to make you laugh."

"Well, what are you going to try to do to make me laugh my child?" He asked. Arianna pouts, thinking.

"I haven't gotten that far yet."

"Well, you surely need a plan for it to work."

"I know. I'll think of something eventually." Arianna frowns in though. He just nodded as he set Arianna down.

"I shall let you plan then."

Arianna walks off his hand, then looks up at her father.

"I should probably do my homework first. I'm really behind... or, am I not going to school anymore?" The fairy hoped Optimus wound say that she would. Arianna loves learning. Her favorite subjects are language arts and history.

"You are to stay here where you are safe, I am no longer risking your safety ever again." He lost her once, and he wasn't about to let it happen again.

"Oh, okay." Arianna felt her wings droop against her back. She slowly walked over and sat on the couch. If she's not going to school, why bother with her homework. The fairy stared at the floor beneath her feet, trying not to get upset. Her dad wants her safe, and school is where Ashley is, and she works for the cons. Optimus sighed as he glanced at her, knowing his daughter was upset.

"You still will be learning, thanks to Ratchet and June. When this is finally over, we could send you back. Right now it is too dangerous." Arianna looks up at Optimus.

"I understand. On the bright side, I have time to work on my plan to make you laugh." She smiles at him before grabbing her back pack that was left by the couch, and gets a notebook and a pen. Arianna thinks for a while, before she starts to write down a list of ideas. Arianna then picks up her laptop, and begins working on the first idea on the list.

He just nodded as he went back to his screen. He had let Ratchet rest a little bit more today, he was sure the older bot would overwork himself.

He didn't try to peek at Arianna's plans, it was better when it was a surprise.

Once done, Arianna admired her work. She had gotten a picture of Starscream, then with the paint program, she drew a dress over him. Arianna picks up the laptop, and holds it out so her dad can see.

Optimus continued looking at what he was doing while Arianna made her work. He could tell by the look on her face that this should be good. Though at the moment he was quickly typing things in.

"Dad, look at what I did." Maybe this would make him laugh.

"Give me a moment then I shall look."

"Okay Dad." Arianna says, and waits patiently. As she waits, she watches her dad. On the screen are symbols she does not recognize, yet her father seems to easily understand them. She realized that the symbols are cybertronian. Maybe one day she will be able to read it. Her optics move from the screen to her father. Arianna is still in awe of him. She couldn't help but wonder if she was anything like him.

He continued to typing, reading everything perfectly. He was making sure nothing bad was going on, no decepticon activity that he'd be able to find and such.

After a good twenty minutes he turned and faced her.

"Yes?"

During the twenty minutes, Arianna sat down and worked on another picture. Once hearing her dad, she exits out and pulls up the picture of Starscream in a pink dress and shows her dad. He smiled and chuckled softly at Arianna's photo.

"He would wear something that pink."

Arianna grins at her dad, glad she made him chuckle.

"He does seem girly. I mean, he has stilettos, those are women shoes...at least it is on earth."

He nodded lightly. "It seems common among certain seekers, but it can be seen as feminine in a way."

Arianna smiles at her dad. "I also did one with Megatron."

"You can show me that later, I'm sure it's a good one though" He said as he looked back at his screen.

"Ok Dad." Arianna sets down the laptop, then looks at her dad. "Is something wrong?"

"Not really, just making sure nothing pops up."

Arianna nods, and watches him as he works.

"We can't have any decipticons causing trouble."

"Speaking of cons, when I first got here with Miko and Bulkhead, we where chased by another fairy, Ashley. Who is she?" Arianna asks, hoping her father would know. Optimus sighed softly.

"Ashley, another daughter of a prime. What do you want to know about her? I only know so much, her mother was a sweet lady, as was her father, kind bot."

"Why is she with the cons?" Arianna asks.

"After the death of both of her parents, she had no one else to turn to. She threw out her morals and join the cons."

"That's awful... I hope I don't have to lose you daddy." Arianna frowns, the thought of Optimus dying was scary.

"Don't worry my child, everything will be alright. I do not want to be the reason you die Arianna, I will make sure you are safe." Arianna blinks confused.

"The reason I die? I don't understand. What do you mean?"

"You are linked to me till you are married, if I die you fall with me." He said as he looked away.

Arianna stares at her dad in shock as memories flood her mind. The day she was so cold and couldn't get warm, until she felt like she was freezing to death, even under a mountain of blankets. Then a few weeks later, the scraplet episode. There was the day where her eye was hurting for no reason, and she felt really weak after. And after that, a few weeks later, Optimus had gotten sick. It was like the show was coping her "ghost pains", pain she would feel for no reason. Arianna slowly sinks back into the couch, in shock. To make things even scarier, they are in a war, and Megatron is determined to kill Optimus. She had a feeling that her life was going to be a short one.

Optimus looks at his daughter and sighed once again.

"Megatron will not win, he never will. You have nothing to worry about." Arianna looks up at her father with a small frown

"It's creepy how you know what I'm thinking. How do you do that?"

"I am your father, to put it simply. It also much easier to know what you are thinking because I am now much closer to you. It makes it easier to understand your said thoughts... Plus, you are much like your mother."

"I am? I wish I could remember her... Am I anything like you dad?" She couldn't help but to smile a little.

"You are a little bit of both of us. I can easily understand you Arianna, you act like Michelle, you even look like her, except you have my optics."

Arianna smiles a little more. Even though being his daughter has a price, it's worth it. Arianna is proud to be the child of Optimus. Arianna frowns at a sudden thought.

"Dad? How is Ashley alive if both her parents are dead?"

Optimus reached his hand over so he could pick up Arianna, but only if she wanted to. Arianna climbs into her dad's hand. She loves being held by him. He then frowned softly.

"Dark energon. It is pure luck that Megatron was able to keep her alive, even with the dark energon."

"How isn't she all zombie like?" Arianna thinks to the zombie episodes and shudders.

"Which leads to the rumors of her family. They were never proved true, but that is besides the point. Most fairies have the same color as their fairy parent. Like your energon-line has always been pink, that is why you have pink wings. Ashley's energon-line is out of wack. Over the years it has been three different colors. Which is very uncommon, but they are said to have dark energon in their energon-line, just a theory."

"We have powers? I didn't know that. How do I use them?" Arianna asks, curious.

"I am sorry Arianna, I do not know how you can use them. You fairies do have many powers."

"It's ok dad." Arianna hugs one of his fingers on the hand She is sitting on.

He smiled softly at his daughter.

"But I am sure you will find out how to use it."

"I hope so." Arianna smiles back. Optimus smiles a little more, proud of his little girl. Arianna sits comfortably in his hand, lost in thought, when she remembers a popular head canon for the transformers fans. She looks up into her dad's optics.

"Dad? A lot of other fans of transformers prime say that you adopted Bee, and he's like a son to you. Did that happen in real life?" Arianna couldn't help but to think it would be cool if he did, because that would mean she has a big brother. Oprimus nodded.

"Yes, he is still very young, and I could not let him be without someone to help him as family." Optimus frowns, worried how she would take this. He didn't replace her, but Bee needed someone.

"Awesome! I have a big brother! And even better, it's Bee!" Arianna grins up at her dad, who smiled lightly at her happiness, and in relief.

"Bumblebee should be fine with the name big brother."

At that moment the very bot who they where talking about drives in, returning from dropping Raf at school.
