A few day's passed from the last… outing.

Arcee was playing with Tech who was strangely playful as he playfully made fake charges at her servo as she darted and waved it.

"Hey Cee." Cliffjumper greeted as it made Arcee lift her helm and smile

"Hey… How are you?" Arcee said as she gently stroked Tech on the head as Cliffjumper kneeled down in front of Arcee

"Good, you?" Cliffjumper smiled, he felt more comfortable being with Arcee, it was like she was his rock, his protector… Yet, he wanted to be so much more. He had been thinking over the last few days… even having a dream about having a sparkling with her, far-fetched he knew but it felt… right. True. Pure.

Even now, reality made his dream's look like child's play; Arcee smiled which sent Cliffjumper's spark up another pace

"Fine, I was thinking." Arcee started "Remember that night we had?… With the… shooting star?" Arcee couldn't help show the bright blush on her cheeks.

"Yes, how could I forget? More or less the best thing that happened to me in this war." Cliffjumper chuckled and put his servos back to support his frame as his legs were straight out in front of him across the ground.

"Yes, anyway… I was thinking that we should go out on a date, maybe in France or maybe some place more isolated, like Alaska?" Arcee tilted her helm.

"What?! SHE is asking ME out on a date?!… Maybe she is more mech than me." Cliffjumper was overjoyed, over the moon even! Too gob smacked for words he nodded his helm rapidly, his grin covered his face.

"Wait, Alaska? Isn't that were… his kind comes's from? Wolves?" Cliffjumper glared over at Tech who ran off and was now tugging at the back of Raf's shirt, trying to make him fall over

"Ahh! Get off!" Raf tugged at his t-shirt as Tech marly tugged back, making Arcee and Cliffjumper laugh, Cliffjumper loved to hear Arcee laugh, it was a once in a life time thing to hear.

"Ohh Primus, a whole pack of him" Cliffjumper shivered, "What a thought." Cliffjumper chuckled again, Making Arcee smile brightly at him

"So, we on for tonight?" Arcee smiled, taking Cliffjumper off guard

"T-tonight? You mean the night that is coming soon, like a-at the end of this day when the day turns to night, that tonight?" Cliffjumper questioned, stammering with his words

"Yes. Well?" Arcee pressed as Cliffjumper blushed and smiled

"Sure, I'll wait for you at the ground-bridge say… 10?" Cliff smiled as Arcee replied in a nod, as she looked over and saw Jack waiting for her to drop him off home

"See you then." Arcee stood up and transformed, as Jack ran over and hopped on, as they soon drove out of the base.

Once Arcee was out of view, Cliff stood up and couldn't help but do a little dance included with pelvic thrusts and fist pumping.

"Nice dancing Cliff." Smokescreen cackled from the other side of the room, as Cliffjumper stood up straight and cleared his throat

"You saw nothing!" Cliffjumper warned as Smokescreen chuckled, walking over and giving him a … 'Bro hug'

"So, why were you breaking down?" Smokescreen questioned, as Cliffjumper smirked

"Arcee and I are going on a date, later tonight." Cliffjumper nodded, he felt proud in himself, Finally he was getting somewhere in this relationship.

"Epic, so did you ask her out?" Smokescreen questioned, leaning back against the wall in a calm yet curious manner.

"… No, she asked me out." Cliffjumpers voice dropped to almost a whimper

"Wimp." Smokescreen scoffed in return.

"Oi! At least I can get a date!" hissed Cliffjumper, making Smokescreen chuckle and raise his servos in surrender

"Dude, there are only two femmes in this galaxy. One is Arcee and the other is currently stalking Tailgate." With that, the two mechs threw back their helm laughing.


Later that night, Cliffjumper quietly sneaked down the halls to the main room, to where he was meant to meet with Arcee, it was dark and the air was crispy against his armor it gave him the shivers.

He stood at the ground-bridge for a few moments when suddenly he saw Arcee's dark figures stalking out of the shadows from down the hall, her beautiful cerulean frame, she looked like she just jumped out of a perfect painting and was about to set his night alight.

"Wow…" Cliffjumper choked out, feeling his throat get tighter as Arcee stood in front of him.

"Wow what?" Arcee questioned, her servos on her hips. Primus she looked like a super model! Those beautiful curves and beautiful figure… It was making Cliffjumper go ballistic.

"… Just… wow." Cliffjumper repeated fairly pathetically.

"Are we going or not?" Arcee growled, fairly impatient and wanted to get this night on the road. Cliffjumper nodded in reply and fired up the ground-bridge…


Later, the two were walking through what looked like a snowy forest; it was like a scene of beauty as small soft snow flacks dropped from the sky

"This is a beautiful place…" Arcee silently exclaimed, looking around as she slowly walked through the snowy wonderland, Cliffjumper following from not far behind as he silently nodded in agreement. Abruptly pedes falling against snow that wasn't his or Arcee's came to his audios, looking around as he saw nothing out of the ordinary, but something was defiantly following them.

Soon coming to a open icy field as Arcee gasped in surprise, never seeing a pond frozen over with ice as Cliffjumper stared in awe, smirking as he suddenly got a idea and held out his servo to Arcee.

"What are you-"

"Just… take my servo." Cliffjumper said softly, as Arcee took his servo but was suddenly tugged out onto the ice, stumbling slightly from the icy surface as she took a moment to adjust as Cliffjumper, too was taking a moment to adjust to the sudden slippery surface.

Once more comfortable on the ice, Cliffjumper held her servo tightly and began to dance with her on the ice, but like all good moments, there's a down side.

Tailgate was lurking not that far from the lake edge, smirking as he adjusted his hand held knife on the ice surface just perfectly so Cliffjumper would fall in the water and not Arcee, timing it perfectly as he chipped the ice, causing a long crack to appear and shoot out into the middle of the icy lake, right in front of Cliffjumper and Arcee's path as they didn't seem to notice, suddenly Cliffjumper jumping over the crack with Arcee as they completely missed the fault line, causing Tailgate to snarl in failure.

Moving away as he shifted to another cleaver positioned post as he waited, suddenly chipping the ice again from the side of the lake as it cracked its way outward, but Arcee and Cliffjumpers dancing missed the position again! Now becoming irritated as he slowly stepped out onto the ice, his gaze towards Cliffjumper technically screamed 'I will murder that mech in his recharge with a rusty old blade.'

Arcee did twirls on the ice as Cliffjumper noticed Tailgate and smirked, skating over to him and becoming face to face with him.

"Watch where you step, you're standing on thin ice." Suddenly Cliffjumper dug his heel into the ice as the ice cracked in a big circle around Tailgate, only allowing the blue and white mech to whimper before falling into through the ice and into the cold water below.

Cliffjumper chuckled and turned his attention back to his agile partner who was having the time of her life dancing on the ice.


Later, Arcee and Cliffjumper were sitting on the soft snow on the hill that was looking over the snowy valley, with the view of a lake and pine forests, the night sky reflecting off the watery liquid of the lake as it looked beautiful, Arcee was sitting with her legs crossed over as Cliffjumper was sitting right next to her with his legs sprawled out in front of him as he placed his arms behind him to support him.

"That was really enjoyable," Arcee said, her smile on her face as she soaked in the sight of the Alaskan wilderness, inhaling and exhaling, the warmth of her breath stirring with the cold night air caused her breath to look like puffs of dragons smoke.

"I know, I think I pulled a wire… but I also found the dance really amusing." Cliffjumper grinned, chuckling as he referred it to the encounter of Tailgate on the lake.

Cliffjumper silently felt sorry for the mech, being killed and not having his chance with Arcee… but screw Tailgate, it was Cliffjumper and Arcee now, oh if only Arcee could read his mind, Arcee would think Cliffjumper was insane.

"Cliffjumper?" his name brought Cliffjumper out of his thoughts as he turned his gaze to Arcee who was sitting right next to him.

"I just wanted to say that tonight… was the most fun I've had since before the war" and with that softly said, Arcee leaned over and gently pressed her lips against Cliffjumpers, causing him to momentarily flinch but soon closing his optics and responded by returning the kiss. This sent electric sparks of passion through Arcee as she grinned into the kiss and slowly leaned back and soon they lost their tingling connection.

"The second time is more mind blowing than the first," Cliffjumper chuckled, but all of a sudden bursting pain came from in between his legs, where his panel's were as his helm shot down to look and soon realized that the area was covered in blue paint, made to look like energon. The area throbbing as Cliffjumper tried to take in what just happened, soon looking to the near forest line and see's Tailgate standing in the shade of a near by pine tree with a paint ball gun!

Cliffjumper was still in too much pain for his vocals to even work as Tailgate slipped off into the shadows, soon looking down to his panels again, he realised it looks like he just leaked himself, soon hoping Arcee wouldn't catch a glare of the sight-

"Ewww! Cliffjumper!" Arcee exclaimed and leaned away from the ruby mech in disgust.

Too late, Cliffjumper winced, and in too much pain to even talk, he merely groaned and used his servo's to covered his panels and leaned back and rested his body against the ground, moaning in pain.

"Take that, Cliffjumper." Tailgate smirked from the treeline.
