Jaacs: I see you're still online, Ratchet.

Ratchet: Only barely. I never thought that you could cause so much disruption.

Jaacs: At least I let you peacefully recharge.

Ratchet: I believe the humans say, touché.

Jaacs: I do not own Transformers at all. I only own Jaacs, Lily, and another that you will soon meet. *laughs evilly*

Ratchet: Oh, for Primus' sake.

Jaacs: *grins happily* See you at the end of the chapter!

XxXxXxXx

Over the next two weeks, it became Jaacs' mission to make her time in the med bay as miserable as possible for Ratchet. She knew it was cruel, but she was having more fun than if she was in the wheeled wonder.

At first, Bumblebee and Lily had argued against her actions, but then they saw how amusing it was for Ratchet to get so upset, with no way to do anything about it; they didn't complain. They never joined in on her antics, but they watched until Ratchet shooed them away. Ironhide cracked up every time he walked past, and even Optimus grinned when he checked in on them.

By the time Jaacs' leg was healed, Ratchet's processor was fried. He never knew that a youngling could cause so much trouble and mayhem, aside from the Twins. It almost reminded him of…

'No! I will not think about that… slag… I'm thinking about her.' Ratchet cursed himself.

He was thinking of his sparkmate, Shalila; meaning 'Beautiful eyes'. She really did have beautiful optics; that is, until the beginning of the war.

Shalila's optics had grown cold with hatred of the Decepticons, before she was killed by Megatron, because she wouldn't join him as his 'Dark Queen'.

She and Ratchet had a sparkling granted to them by the Allspark, and they named the young femme Aquaspark, before they chose to send her away to save her from the inevitable war.

Ratchet had never seen her since. He missed his sparkling and sparkmate bitterly.

Some days, he thought he would see his and Shalila's optics in Jaacs', but that was impossible.

Ratchet released Jaacs before he could brood over it more.

"Go on, SHOO!" Ratchet pushed her out of the door, closing it behind her. Jaacs laughed, and rolling her eyes, walked off to find Lily. She found her best friend in the mess hall, talking with Arcee and Chromia.

"Hi girls." She greeted. They grinned up at her. "How's it going?"

"Good. I'm glad to see you're still alive." Arcee teased.

"I bet Ratchet almost blew a gasket." Chromia continued.

"I'm just glad I can see you for more than five minutes and not get threatened a wrench to the head." Lily finished, earning laughs from the others.

"Whatever. I'm ready to get some exercise, though. I couldn't do anything!" Jaacs whined.

"Aw, suck it up, Bugsy." Lily rolled her eyes. "Eek!" she yelped when Jaacs poked her in the side.

"Don't call me that." Jaacs grumbled.

"Jaacs, I'm going to tell you something that will probably make you want to throw a wrench in my head." Lily said cautiously.

"What did you do…?" Jaacs asked suspiciously.

"I told someone…"

"You WHAT?" Jaacs yelled. Arcee and Chromia both jumped up and covered Jaacs' mouth.

"Don't worry; your secret is safe with us." Arcee whispered in her ear.

"Wait, which secret?" Jaacs asked, pulling the girls' hands off.

"Both." Chromia said.

"WHAT?" Jaacs screeched. Lily ran from the table, with Jaacs on her tail. Arcee and Chromia followed not far behind.

"LILY MARKS, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Jaacs bellowed, chasing Lily through the hallways.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was being stupid! I'm sorry!" Lily begged; though she didn't slow down.

"You're not getting off that easy!" Jaacs yelled, speeding up.

"You're the one who won't tell!" Lily yelled back, getting angry. "You're the one who's being weak!"

"Don't you dare talk to me about weak!" Jaacs hollered, fighting back tears. Most of the Autobots had stuck their heads out of their rooms to see what the ruckus was about. "You listen to me, Lily Marks." Jaacs said quietly; a deadly tone dripping from her words.

"Were you the one who saw your parent's marriage fall apart before your eyes?

"Were you the one who didn't even get told if said divorce was or wasn't your fault?

"Were you the one who cried yourself to sleep at night, trying to ignore the emptiness inside?

"Were you the one who hasn't seen her father for almost six years?

"Are you the one who still feels the pain?" Jaacs voice dropped to a whisper, letting the tears flow. Lily looked at her in horror and shame.

"N-no. No, Jaacs, I'm not." Lily said softly. "I'm sorry." Jaacs nodded.

"It's alright. I shouldn't have ranted like that." Jaacs apologized; wiping tears from her eyes.

"What are you apologizing for? I'm the one who set you off." Lily said, hugging her friend tightly. "But you have to tell me these things, hon; it's not good to bottle up your feelings like that." She said, stroking Jaacs' hair.

The Autobots were surprised. They, too, were unaware of Jaacs' feelings. They themselves had not been through anywhere near of her experiences, so they did not know how to comfort her. The Autobots were also surprised at the rapid 'mother-hen' attitude Lily had taken on, easily making Jaacs feel better.

"It's ok, Jaacs; its ok," Lily crooned, holding the sobbing Jaacs tightly. "Come on, let's go back to our room." Jaacs nodded, allowing Lily to lead her back to their room, Arcee and Chromia trailing behind.

"What did you do?" Ironhide asked in wonder.

"None of your business," Chromia said loftily.

"Then who's is it?" he retorted, irritated.

"That depends…" Arcee said, placing her fingers on her chin; pretending to think hard.

Chromia whispered in her sister's audio receptors. They both locked their optics on Ratchet, making his cooling fans kick in.

The femmes laughed and rolled away towards Jaacs and Lily's quarters.

"Wha… huh? What about me?" Ratchet stuttered, confused. "Tell me what's going on!"

"We'll let Jaacs do that." Arcee called over her shoulder.

Ratchet fumed.

"It's worth the wait, old friend." Optimus tried to comfort the old medic.

The loud 'clang' from Ratchet's wrench was enough to show his feelings. Optimus groaned and rubbed his head.

"You are not the only one in the dark, Ratchet. Jaacs only told me on my request. It would be much more meaningful if she told you herself." Optimus said to Ratchet.

"That femme will be the end of me, I just know it." Ratchet mumbled.

XxXxXxXx

"You gotta calm down, girl," Arcee soothed, rubbing Jaacs' back. "Ratchet will understand."

"I'm just so worried!" Jaacs blubbered. "What if he won't accept me?"

"But he will, sweetie!" Chromia chimed in.

"How do you know?" Jaacs asked, sniffling.

"We know Ratchet, and we know that even though he can be a grumpy old mech, he's a softy on the inside; I saw the way he loved his sparkmate and well, you; he will love you just as he did before." The sisters explained.

"I hope you're right," Jaacs said, finally stopping the tears. "Thanks."

"You're welcome; now go and tell him the truth!"

XxXxXxXx

Lily: Cliffhanger!

Jaacs: Sugared Froot Loops again? Never mind, I don't want to know.

Lily: Fine by me!

Jaacs: Keep on reviewing, please! I love hearing all your opinions!

Will he accept her for who she really is?

Jaacs: *In a similar voice* Will Lily ever shut up?

Ironhide: I think not.

Jaacs: *game show announcer voice* that is correct! Your prize is this lovely young lady *gestures to Lily* to use in target practice!
