Elita found Ava sitting by herself reading a book, she slowly made her way to the human child thinking on how she would talk about this to her. Maybe she should have the prime talk to her about it. Then again she may be more comfortable talking to a girl about this. Sitting down next to her on the side of the cliff to the base she looked to see if Ava was aware of her presence or was just ignoring her.

"Ava?" She replied calmly as she looked to see if the girl had looked up from the book. When she did the red bot continued "Ava if you want to talk about what... about your mom and this guy I an all adios." She said with a smile.

"What is there to talk about. After eleven years mom has finally decided it was time to start dating. Maybe thinking it was time to get a male role model for me." the girl replied not looking up from her book.

"Is there something you want to say about it?"

"No Elita there is not."

"Alright. So what are you doing up here, and not down there with Miko and the others."

"I came up here to be alone and think." Was alll the girl said

"You want me to leave?" Elita asked

"..." receiving no reply Elita-one took it as the girl had enough talking and shut down like Ratchet warned her she might do. Getting up the red/pink female bot made her way slowly to enter the base incase Ava changed her mind about talking to her.

When she got back down she was immediately questioned by the medic and a few of the other bots.

"Well how did it go?" Ratchet asked

"She was not mad or acted like she was annoyed she answered the questions I asked her calmly, but she did not answer them how I was hopping she would." Elita said

"We will see how this plays out. WheelJack can ask her tomorrow how she feels about it." Optimus said

"What about you trying?" Arcee asked

"It would not be wise of me to jump in and handle a crisis like this with out the guardians tring first. Elita was more parent like then the rest of us so that is why she was allowed to go first." Optimus answered. "If it comes down to it, I will talk to Ava. But that is after WheelJack and IronHide have both seen if they could talk to her about it."

"As much as we appreciate it Optimus I believe it would be wiser if you stepped in." IronHide said as he approached with WheelJack.

"I have to agree with IronHide." WheelJack said "We have no idea what we are doing."

*"You did it last time WheelJack."* Bee pointed out *"Let's not forget how close she was to you IronHide."*

"Yeah, well that was a while ago and WheelJack here is her guardian now. Besides you were closer to her than I was." Hide said

"I did not know what I was doing all I did was tell her facts. That we will get her mom back and promised her a ride in the Jackhammer." WheelJack replied "I can't state facts here."

"Then you can give her the ride you promised her." Optimus said "Take one of the other bots if you feel like you need to. But if they have a charge check with them before you leave."

WheelJack nodded and thought about what he would do to get her to talk. Thinking back to what IronHide told him in the cavern he smiled when he got an idea. He knew where to take Ava and also he knew the exact people to take on the trip with him. He walked over to Optimus to see if it was alright. Once given permission from the Prime he headed off to prepare for the trip knowing that it would work in bringing the cheerful girl back out.

Telling the other bot that was going on the trip and fixing up the Jackhammer to accustom the other riders and having the ship be able to hide the seats when necessary and have them out when needed. He wanted to make sure it was alright with Ava's mom about doing this for her daughter, but then decided against it because he did not want to go into details about why Ava was like this. He knew Carly trusted him and cared for her daughter but he felt that it was not his place to discuss the issue Ava had. It was his charges choice and place to discuss that with her mother. The bots did not know what to think but could not have all the people that WheelJack wanted to go on the trip with him. He knew all who Ava trusted and had a list and wanted to bring the ones on top of the list they included besides himself basically every bot on Team Prime that was there when he first came to Earth and IronHide. At the very top of the list was Ratchet, Bee, and Optimus, IronHide along with himself. The Autobots had to not only deal with Decepticons but also keeping the children safe from harm, and MECH. MECH was the biggest threat against the Cybertronians. It was a risk allowing the two bots to leave but it was allowed if and only if the guideline Ratchet had given him were fallowed. The most important one was not to be unreachable.

When Ava waited for her guardian to pick her up she read a journal of her father's to pass the time. She had her usual bag with her to not bring up suspicions with MECH if they find out that she was with the Autobots. WheelJack was running later than usual so she figured that he was avoiding MECH. When her phone rang she saw it was WheelJack and answered it.

"Jackie where are you?" she asked not hiding her worry

"In the garage. Ratchet teleported me there so it would look like 'your car' was parked in it and to avoid suspicions."he replied "Now, are you ready to go on the rid in the Jackhammer?"

"Of course Jackie." Ava replied with a smile even though he could not see her face at the moment.

"Look if you want to talk about what happened a few days ago..."

"Jackie like I told Elita there is nothing to talk about." She replied as she closed the front door and headed to the garage. upon entering it she glared at her guardian "I appreciate what you all are doing but what is there to talk about? So my mom is dating again, good for her. She deserves to be happy."

"You have been silent and keeping to yourself so that is why we are worried."

"WheelJack can we just head to base?" Ava asked with a sigh

Sighing in defeat he opened the door and Ava opened the garage door and hopped in and closed WheelJack's door. Her guardian then drove to the rondeview point for that day for the ground-bridge. When they got there they saw that Bulkhead and Miko were ready to go. WheelJack and Bulkhead had something planned that would get a smile to cross their charges faces.

"Hold on tight." WheelJack commanded and the girls held on to the human size seats in the Jackhammer that was recently added in. It took a few minutes but when the shaking of WheelJack's ship stopped They were met by a site that was breathe taking.

"A-Are we in Space?" Ava asked looking out of the Windshield of the Jackhammer

"Yes we are." WheelJack said "It was difficult to convince Prime to let me take you and Miko up here."

"Sweet." Miko replied with her usual emphasis on the word.

Both girls walked over to their guardians and stood by them as they caught a glance of the earth. They were silent for awhile before Bulkhead broke the silence.

"So...Ava... is everything...well...you have not been acting like yourself and..."

"Was I only brought up here so I would spill how you think I feel about this. So my mom has a new boyfriend. So she did not even tell me about him. So what." She said without any tears shocking both bots. Ava was usually the emotional one out of the children though she was getting better at hiding her emotions but at times the best she could do was delie the inevitable.

"We were just wondering if you were alright and besides it was not the only reason. I promised you a ride in the Jackhammer." WheelJack said

Seeing that they were worried and she felt that they had the right to know sighing she said "It is not because my mom did not tell me that she was dating again or the fact that she is dating again. I just felt something strange where I saw him. Like a chill went up my spine and a grave feeling flowed through me." Ava looked at the others and sighed "It makes no sense, ... I don't really know how to describe the feeling besides the word dread."

The three nodded and Bulkhead offered "Maybe you're nervous about him finding out about us bots. You could be nervous about that."

"Maybe." Ava said looking down.

"Well so what do you want to see?" WheelJack questioned "We could see any planet here."

Ava smiled at how her guardian was acting, sure he was tough but he was very kind when he needed to be and for that Ava was extremely great-full. Looking at the space in front of her she thought of what she wanted to see. As much as she liked space she never thought of what she wanted to see in space besides space. Quickly she made a list in her mind of all she wanted to see and brought it down to her final three and made sure that it would not wast energon. Knowing that they were low on it and wanted to make sure there was enough for emergencies. They hid it well, they were nervous every time that they went out into battle. Not knowing if they had enough energon to replace the mount they lost if it was dangerously low. She and the others often talked about going to look for mines by themselves to get some for the Autobots. But it was as if they always sensed their plans because almost every time they were getting ready to leave they would be stopped by one of them. Mainly Optimus or Ratchet.

"Surprise me." Ava said

WheelJack smiled and took his ship out away from the orbit of the Earth.

"WheelJack where are we going?" Miko asked

Still smiling the wrecker replied "You'll see."

It took about a few hours to get there and they were not disappointed. Right in front of them was a planet with tons of rings around it and different colors that looked nice together. (In Ava's opinion)

"Wow." both girls said as they gawked at the planet

"I thought You would have brought us to Mars or the moon but Saturn?" She pointed out though it sounded like a question when she ended it.

"Surprise."WheelJack said with a small laugh know how much you like space so I thought I would bring you here. The beauty of space."

Ava and Miko laughed at how silly Jackie was being. Even though that was Bulkhead's nickname for him WheelJack did not even care when Ava started to call him that.

On the way home the two Autobot wreckers saw that their human charges were trying to keep wake. Were they really gone that long or was it just that their excitement kept them up and now that it was gone they were tired. The two girls were already buckled up and sitting in their chairs nodding in and out of consciousness. It took a few hours but when they arrived back at the base their girls were sleeping and they saw that it was late at night. Then looked at each other nervously hoping that they had gotten back and could get them back home without breaking curfew, for the girls.

When the bots came into the base carrying the girls they noticed Carly was waiting for them to get back. "I figured that they would be with you. Around eight I called Miko's host parents and said that Miko wanted to spend the night and they allowed her to. so they can spend the night here." She said "I brought some stuff over that both girls would need, for tonight."

"I'll bridge them to your house tomorrow morning to not arouse suspicions, from MECH." Ratchet said as he bridged Carly back home. Both girls were laid on the couch and covered up. "You had to take them to the outer reaches of their solar system. If Carly was not one of the parents that knows about the Autobots she would have known something was up."

"The Jackhammer was fast Ava told me it would have taken years to reach that planet that we went to and years to get back. So in just a day to get there and back does not seem like a lot. Besides didn't her father go with out contact with his parents for days when he was with you?" WheelJack brought up

"What planet did you take them to see?" Arcee asked

"Ava called it Saturn." Bulkhead replied

*"That is closer than we thought you took them. But that still is farther than we would have liked you to take them WheelJack."* BumbleBee said

"While I appreciate you wanting to do something nice for your charge. I can not condone something like that again, next time stay close to the Earth." Optimus said

"Oh and about what was wrong with Ava, she has been having grave feelings round her moms new boyfriend. She could be nervous that he might figure out about us." WheelJack said "What do you think?"

"Hmm. we will have to look into it. We must take the upmost causation " The Prime said looking at Miko and the Witwicky child.

In a hidden bunker

"Sir what shall we do now?" a soldier said "They still suspect nothing but the daughter is probably catching on"

"The daughter is getting suspicious, she seems to be always out and there was no trace of her around town today. It seems as if we found our transformer we are going to take." he said looking at the picture of Carly's daughter sitting on the hood of her car smiling, mirroring the picture of Ava's father on his car.

"Would that be wise, Sir?"

"Yes, that car would be a perfect target. She has a transformer as a car whether she knows it or not. I will take that car. I will have a transformer no matter what we have to do. That girl or any of the other autobots humans would not get in the way this time." the leader said "Time to move forward with the plan."
