Dino closed the door behind him and put Dawn and her wheelchair on the ground, it was a nice looking room with the same nice bright colors as the rec room.

Only in this room she had put some murals, he looked at a Greek looking portal which gave the illusion he was peeking into a garden. "Bel murale," Dino said, while inspecting the whole painting.

"thank you, it took me three weeks to finish," Dawn replied, she rolled over to her computer and put some soft music on, "want some high grade, she asked him, before I show you the torture room," "what brand," he asked without stopping looking at the painting. "Hmm let see, I've got Praxian, Iakon and I can even get you a Kaon brand, or a home brand too if you like to try." "Well lets try the home brand, he smirked if it is stored next to Praxian and Iakon it must be good. And lets keep the old stuff for special occasions," Dawn picked up the high grade and put it on her lap, and then got herself some beer. "Don't tell Ratchet or he might flip out, she said, I have heard he only wants the sick and the needy to have important nutrition," she said smirking , while rolling the wheelchair towards the table. She put the high grade on the table and opened her can of beer.

"I am sorry this room is till on a human level, while pointing at a door behind her, if you wanna sit I do have a mech sized chair in that room behind me."
Dino walked over to the door which was not human sized, when he opened the door it showed a nice berth room with soft lights embedded in the walls surrounded by murals and letting the light integrate with the paintings. He saw the chair and picked it up while looking at the berth he noticed it was not a single one, it could be expanded for two and still the room was comfortable. "I see you are prepared for the future," he said while walking back into the other room where Dawn was sitting.

"I chose this room for it had this large space, I can work here, relax and sleep. And later these smaller items will be removed to what is now my bedroom, who knows what little sparkling will be in there, she said while sipping her beer." She watched Dino taking a careful sip from his high grade, "Any good," she asked curiously.

"Good indeed but I do think it is a good idea to have SideSwipe run the distillery he has great talent in creating batches that look like Praxian, or Iakon. Not that this is not any good, do not get me wrong this is actually very good. But side knows how to create batches so fast, that within a few days you can give a party he smirked." This tastes like old high grade and I am sure it took a while before you got this taste in it. On Cybertron you would pay a lot for this kind of high grade, did you know that."

"No I did not, Dawn replied, so it is good." "You bet, Dino replied, what I meant was that if you create batches like this it will take ages to make a few gallon, while SideSwipe can create four gallon in a week that is what I meant, but I suggest you do give him the recipe from this one, for this one is giving you a ride back home and makes you look into your memories." "Hm Dawn said, so it is like whiskey who is about a hundred years old, right."

"Close he said, for this is better, You should offer this to Optimus and Ratchet." "We can do that, we have more of it, thanks for the advice. I will ask Darwin to get the cubes out of the storage."

Dino sat back and enjoyed his high grade, shutting down his optics he let the high grade glide into his tanks and listened to the soft music playing on the back.
Dawn downed her beer and glanced at the mech, he looked beautiful, strong and yet adorable, definitely eye candy. "Like what you see," Dino smirked. Dawn turned red, " hm yes I do, she smirked, was thinking of the difference between all of you, you are a spy and then chose a freaking hot Ferrari as an alt mode while spying around."

"I like to spy in style he said, I would not fit in a Prius nor do I feel comfortable as a Mercedes." He bent over, "now where is the torture room, did I miss something, he said glancing at Dawn and bending towards her." "No you did not miss anything, you took the chair out of it," she said putting her chin up.

"I figured that it should be that room but I did miss some torture elements there, or did you hide them." "A girl never gives away all her secrets Dino, just wait for me to transfer and I will be glad to show you."

"Just give me this high grade he smirked and I will be like wax in your servo's my dear no need to torture me then. I will go down without a fight"

Dawn started laughing, did you just give away your weakness or is it just to test me." "No he said, just gave away one of the things that will make me ease up, he smirked, the rest will have to wait until you are indeed in that frame of yours."

"Wanna see it, Dawn asked, so you can see who is going to end your life as a single mech, for I will not settle with just being lovers, do know that, I will go for it all."

"Do you have it here in this base?"Dino asked curiously. "No but I do have a three dimensional picture of it. She picked up a data pad who had been lying on the table, she activated a program and with that Dino watched the frame, it looked like a mixture of a femme and a mech, the current color was black, but in all it looked not only nice, it looked gorgeous, Dino could see the hand of Alpha Trion in it. Beautiful faceplate, strong chest and broad abdomen, he figured that was done for the chambers.

He shifted in his seat a little tingly feeling came over him. "Dawn watched him, "like it," she asked curious of his reaction. I am sorry for the black color I will change that later on, I'd like to change it in dark blue not too dark maybe more like Navy Blue in metallic and some silver accents."

She watched Dino looking up the combination, "Will look smashing he said, but it will mean I must use my strength to keep away the others, he smirked. Walk around like that and you will have your pick in mechs."

"No Dawn replied and looked at Dino, when I saw you it was like being hit by a brick wall and that was three years ago, you stormed out of that crappy base, I do not know why but you looked furious over something or someone, you transformed and came close to run me over. I did not dare to come back for days.
Alpha kept asking me what happened but I could not tell him. I had no idea what to do with myself, one moment I could fly and the next I was acting crappy towards my friends.
Later I did return and made sure I was seen by Bee, who followed me into what is now your base, I went in and left through a secret underground exit."
"Did you ever come back when we were in the new base," he asked drinking the last bit of the high grade. " I did but made sure no one saw me, I never told anyone about what I saw. I just came back to see you, but if I did see something you people missed or needed, I just lead you guys to it, never used the Intel as spying material, am not a con am neutral." "Only the last months I have been sloppy on purpose she smirked, hoped they would sent you, so Darwin could have a look at you." "Was I checked," Dino said, while getting up to get another high grade.

"Not really checked as in checked, Dawn replied, it was more that I wanted him to see you, after all this time I still did not know the designation you used here. So I hoped Darwin had some information, but he said he only had the name Mirage, a mech with the same talent but also said that said mech was not on earth.

"I hid my true designation and took on a earthly name after I scanned the Ferrari I found out the son of the Ferrari creator was named Dino, so I adapted the name as my own."
"That spark of yours, it is a sliver right? how strong will it be when you transfer." "I do not know yet, Dawn replied, but I do know the matrix will keep it safe, making sure we stay together until the sliver has grown around it. I can only enter a sliver if it comes from someone who loves me, only then the light will guide me towards it. How long it will take for it to grow I don't know but I reckon it will take some time."

"Hm then I suggest you do not torture me for that will bring a strain or your spark, he smirked, I will be easy on you then, surprise me and who knows how easy I will be." Dawn said flatly but smiled as well "Will that bring no strain to a spark if you overload," she asked plainly. "No only your systems shutdown and reboot," he said glancing at her. But I suggest you leave the more exciting thing for a later time.

Maybe you should talk with Ratchet before we do anything stupid, he smirked, hate to lose you while having fun." Thank you for your concern, Dawn replied. But maybe Ratchet will not want anything to do with this, he is a mech of the old school, what if he thinks it is wrong or I will be seen as an abomination. Will I ever be seen as one of you, since I am the squishy here. I mean I know the old ones chose me but I could imagine people thinking why her, why not one of us to enter that frame?"

"That question came to mind yes, he said but I am sure there is a reason why they did not choose one of us for sure," Dino downed the last bit of his high grade and sat back.

"I asked that question and they said that no new spark or a living spark could enter that frame for they would fade out. I think that Alpha must have done something so the con would have no use of it am sure they would have created a lot of future soldiers if they could have used it. But since you must be loved by the donator I think the con never stood a change they saw love as a weakness just like they did not allow spark mates it would weaken the ranks."

But I was told the sliver and my soul would slowly integrate with the programming in it and therefore become one with it, for I am already a full conscious person and it is said there are some prime talents in there as well, so that could be the reason but I am not sure of that, frankly I have no clear answer other than what I just told you."

"Do you even think the con knew about this frame of yours." Dino asked. "I honestly don't know, Dawn replied, but if they knew they have never found it, Dawn looked at her beer.

How does high grade taste can you describe it for me please."' "I think that the smell of it can give you an indication of what it tastes like, just close your eyes and let the smell guide you," Dino said.

He stood up and kneeled before her, holding the cube in front of her she could smell different things, for the first time she started to smell it with different senses she closed her eyes and let the smell get into her. The smell took her back to the distillery, but then it took her further back, years ago on a beach where her father told her he would die because of an inoperable tumor who would slowly drain the life out of him, that same beach where he pointed at the stars and showed her Sirius, and that if she missed him she only had to look at that star and he would be there in opened up her eyes.

"Can you still drive after two high grade," she asked him. "Yes but I would drive more carefully, why do you ask."
"Would you take someone in your car, someone like me she said, I mean for a long drive, I would need some medication with me and that sort of thing."

"What are you asking me, Dino said looking at her carefully, he saw the smell did something to her, but he had no idea what.
He saw her eyes fill with tears. "There is a place I have not been in years, have avoided it because it was so painful to even think about it, so I put it away. But when I die, I will not be able to go to him, I might not even ever see him. When I heard I was gonna die, at first I was sad and angry, angry at Shockwave for what he had taken away from me I never stood any chance against him, later I felt peace inside, thinking okay this is how it is.
I will see my father again, but now I realize I will not, I will live but after death I will not see him, for I will give up my human soul to join another race to save them from extinction, from dying one by one until no one is left, and the cybertronian life will be gone for ever. It is not that I feel proud or anything, it just feels it is the only good thing to do, I was given the chance to do just that but I heard some of you talking about the afterlife and those who went before you, and I've seen the place my self, it is like I imagined heaven to be and I realize I might go to your well and be with the ones I might get to know after the transfer, those I might learn to love and care for but only one will be missing and that is my dad.
I know it still does not answer your question, if you could take me to a certain place I have been
with my father when he told me he would die, I could say goodbye to him and tell him I have to do this I know he will understand and tell me I made the right choice, so would you do that for me, " Dawn looked at him.

Dino looked back, "why did you not ask Darwin or Soundwave or even Tailwind, why me, I mean it is not I will not do what you ask of me but why."

"Because Dino we both know we will be each others future although that future is ahead of us we both know it to be there, I wasn't sure until I saw you here, you where in a dream I had a few years back and today you just stood there like in that dream, I felt it and I know so did you I know you're the one."
"I do suggest we take our time and not run straight into it, I will have to get used to give up my very wanted single status and maybe there is someone else whom you have to compete with."

It made her feel caught and she fell back in her seat. "Sorry I got carried away you are right, the future is unknown and empty book, forgive me and please forget what I said."

"I will take you there if you want me to," Dino said, while examining her state of mind. Dawn sighed,"It is getting late and you've had two highgrade it was stupid of me to ask you this right now, you are right we have time and that is all what matters, for time is all I've got left, forgive me again for being such a squishy."

It looked like with this she ended the conversation, so he stood up. "I will see if Optimus will grant me a few days off, I gather it is not around the corner and you need to take some medication with you, so we have to plan it and not rush into it my dear Dawn."

She smiled faintly, "You are right and do know if you have one I have to compete with, I will take him on to it."

Dino lifted the chair and took it back to the other room he glanced at the berth and smirked, you're on missy you're so on." Dawn had rolled to her bed and sat beside it, he peeked around the corner, I will ask him right away alright don't worry."

"Thank you for it is very important I go there." With that said, she lifted her self on the bed and lay down, closing her eyes and started to drift off right away, as if a load had fell from her.
