A.N.~ Hey guys! Another update, and guess what! Its the longest chapter yet! This is actually going to be in Nightwolf's pov because my friend who is writing Dandelion's pov is currently trying to find the right word for what she wants. A.K.A. shes trying a word vomit and seeing if she gets what she wants.

Anyways... After this chapter though, it will be back to regular order. I hope you don't mind that I screwed it up! but in the long run, it will work out.

I would also like to thank her once again, The wonderful KatanaMistress is always helping with this story. I would also like to thank a person who doesn't have a FF account but has helped me tremendously! She knows who she is, and saying that she doesn't have a name to hide behind, I'm just going to call her by the name of the oc that is based off of her. Thank you Lunar Storm!

I am also so sorry that this is so late, I have had some issues over the break with my family, well, some issues, others not. And I am so happy! I have finally got to see my little sister after 5 years! I missed her so much!

I have received no new reviews...

And another thing, don't hesitate to ask questions or to comment on a part that could be slightly different, new ideas are always welcome!

Just so you know, if you see any grammar errors, they are not mine! I blame them all on Megatron!

Enjoy the Chapter!


Chapter 9

*Nightwolf*

Usually, when I wake up, Jazz is waiting for me by my side, but not today. Actually, he didn't even appear until after I came back from my early morning run. And if that wasn't odd enough, he's the only one I've seen all morning!

"Good morning, sweetspark. How are you this morning?" Jazz said smoothly as he wrapped me into an embrace.

"Confused, mostly, but, other than that... Never better. How are you?" I asked sweetly as I hugged him back.

"Hmm... I'm alright, excited actually! Why are you confused?" He rumbled into my audio receptor, which caused me to giggle at the vibrations it sent through it.

"Well, when I woke, you weren't waiting for me, which you always do. So I was confused and worried. And not only that, but I have seen no other 'bots all morning. My sire isn't even in his work hanger. Do you know what's going on, Jazz?"

"Everybody is just busy with one thing or another, that's all. No need to worry. Did you get any morning energon yet, And another thing, you aren't scheduled to do anything today, and neither am I. We can some time together. Would you like that, Sweetspark?" He was now rubbing his servos up and down my back and over my helm and audio receptors causing me to purr in contentment.

"Mmm... I would like you to keep doing whatever you're doing... Please," He chuckled in amusement at what I said.

"Alright, but you need to refuel sooner or later, and I would prefer it if you refueled sooner rather than later. But, I can carry you if you want, that's fine by me..." I looked up to see him smiling softly at me. Suddenly, he cover my lip plates with his own. I smiled softly as I leaned into his breath taking kiss. I felt him smirk into the kiss before he pulled away and picked me up.

"What was that for?" I asked him as I rested my helm upon his shoulder plating.

"Because I love you... And I wanted to kiss you. You don't mind, do you?" He asked me as we walked towards the lounge.

"Not one bit, it was just unexpected, that's all," I nuzzled his neck cables.

"Alright, I'm going to set you down on the couch for a minute." He walked over to a transformer sized couch and sat me down gently, then, he went to the energon dispenser and grabbed two cubes. He sat down next to me, handed me a cube, and put his arm around my shoulder platings, pulling me close. I sipped my energon slowly as I leaned against Jazz. When I was done, Jazz took my cube and put both of the cubes into his subspace.

'Ironhide to Nightwolf'

'Nightwolf here, what's up, sire?' I answered the unexpected comm.

'I was wondering if you could stop by my hanger... I need to tell you something important.' I noticed the slight waver in his voice, but didn't call him out on it.

'Alright, I'll head on over that way right now. Nightwolf out.' I ended the comm. and stood up, Jazz following suit.

"What's up, Wolfie? Who commed you?" He asked as I stretched.

"My Sire commed me and asked me to come and see him in his hanger, he has something to say to me. I was just going to head over that way now," I answered as I gave him a hug. Though I didn't expect him to pick me back up and start carrying me towards Ironhide's hanger, "J-Jazz?"

"Yes, sweetspark?" He answered back smoothly.

"I can walk you know," I told him, but made no effort to climb out of his arms.

"Yeah, I know. Am I not aloud to carry you, though?" He excited the lounge hanger and stepped out into the open. I swear, everybody stopped and looked at us, a few might've even cat-called.

"N-no, you are. I just wasn't expecting it. Again," I gave up my petty argument and rested my helm against his chassis.

We stopped in front of my sire's hanger and Jazz gently set me down onto my pedes. I turned towards Jazz and gave him a small smile and hug before I turned towards the open hanger doors.

"Sire!" I ran into the open hanger and tackled Ironhide into a hug.

"Nightwolf! My dearspark, do you know what day it is today?" He asked me while he returned my embrace.

"Umm... Monday? NO! Wait, it's Tuesday." I answered with a cheery smile, but on the inside, I was thoroughly confused why he would as me what day it was.

"No, Sweatspark. It's your sparkday! Happy sparkday my little one. It's that time of the vorn again. I know this might seem awkward coming from me because I don't know to voice my feelings... but. Youngling, it seems like just yesterday I was holding you for the first time. Now look at you! You're way past a youngling and courting mechs! I've missed seeing a little youngling stumbling around over her own tail. I missed the time I had raising you. And I missed your last five spark days. Though, I honestly thought that I would miss many, many more. Well, I'm glad I'm here with you now... I love you, my sparkling."

My sire's words made me cry happy tears. I hug him again, but tighter this time, "I love you, too, sire... I always have and always will! I'm glad you're here with me as well. I wish my carrier was here as well..."

All-of-a-sudden. Lennox came running into the hanger... shouting, mind you.

"Sorry, guys, but three new Atuobots are almost at earth! We need to head on over to the main hanger so we can get ready to load up! Let's go!"

I stopped Will with a question, "Do you know who it is?"

"Yeah, something about the Arcee unit... three females." And with that, he ran out.

I turned and looked at my sire as he looked at me, "I guess your wish is coming true, sweetspark. Let's go get ready to roll!"

I was about to follow my sire out of the hanger when a servo on my shoulder platings stopped me, "Nightwolf, I want you by my side the whole time, am I understood?" Jazz said with a seriousness that you would never think you would hear him use.

I cringed as I remembered the last time that I didn't want him to get hurt and had almost sent him back, but Optimus had ordered otherwise.

"Alright, I won't let my pride get in the way again, not after what happened last time. I can't do that to myself- to you again.. " I lowered my helm so that he couldn't see the energon tears that were starting to form in my optics.

I felt a gentle servo on my chin platings start to raise my helm so that my optics met Jazz's. Wait, he's not wearing his visor... 'Oh, Jazz...' I thought.

"Jazz..." I said in a breathy whisper as I raised my servos to his face plates. His optics are a startling emerald green. But, the thing that struck me the most was his right optic, it has a jagged scar running diagonally through it. I don't care though, I think that they're stunning, "Jazz, your optics, they're beautiful."

After I voiced my thoughts, he visibly relaxed, smiled, and raised his own servo to my face plates, "Sweetspark, you are the 'Bot I care about most, I just want you to be safe, and I can't do that if you're not by my side. I-I can't stand that thought of losing you again, not after I just got you back. I will keep you by my side, no matter what!" He pulled me into a tight hug as he finished speaking.

I hugged him tightly as he started to rub his servos across my back.

After a couple of minutes, I pulled away enough to hold Jazz's face plates again. I was thrilled when I seen that he still has his visor up. And to show how happy I am, I gave him a quick kiss. After I pulled away I asked, "Are you able to leave that up around me more often, please?"

He looked just as happy as I felt after I asked that question, "Sure sweetspark! For you, I'll do anything! Happy sparkday, Nightwolf. We'll spend some time together later, but right now, Prowler is telling me that we are needed in the hanger so we can load up and go.'

I nodded, remembering that my carrier is arriving on Earth, "Alright! I'll hold you to that!"

~Jazz~

When I raised my visor, I didn't know how Nightwolf would react, and, quite frankly, that scared me. That was the first time I had raised my visor around her, but I am glad I did, ecstatic, even.

I honestly thought that she would question my scar as well, but she didn't.

I hope everything goes as planned tonight. I want this to be the best spark day that she has ever had, and Chromia arriving will help with that.

Chromia arriving brings up another subject, actually. The way Nightwolf reacted when I told her that I wanted her by my side made my spark call out to her. She looked so spark broken and beaten down, though, I'm glad she accepted. And that kiss she gave me when she seen my optics for the second time.

I broke away from my thoughts as Nightwolf gave my servo a firm squeeze. I tightened my grip slightly in return before I heard her sweet voice call out to me.

"Jazz... What are you thinking about? You've been awfully quiet," She looked at me with a smile on her lip plates. I swear, sometimes I think she knows what she does to me!

"I'm thinking about you, sweetspark. What else would I be thinking about?" I answered with a smile on my face plates. I was satisfied when I heard her cooling fans kick on and I seen her optics brighten with happiness.

"Well, anything really! Like how Prowl needs to mech up and ask Dandelion out. Everybody can tell they like each other, everybody except the two of them. It's adorable, but weird." She let out a chuckle as we entered the main hanger.

When we came in, everybody looked at us. Her sire gave me a knowing look before we turned towards Optimus, "Alight, Autobots, we have three more 'Bots coming to earth. We need to make sure everything goes according to plan. Have your guard up at all times, we must be prepared in case any Decepticons appear. I want you to find a pair up with the person that you will be working with!"

I seen all the 'Bots move to stand next to somebody of their choosing. By the time everybody stopped, these were the pairings:

Me and the 'Wolf of course, Dandelion and Prowl (big surprise there), Bumblebee and Sideswipe, Optimus and Ultra Magnus, and Ironhide with Ratchet. Both Tigerlily and Lunar Storm were ordered to watch over N.E.S.T. base.

"Alright, Autobots, roll out!" Optimus rumbled out the order.

We all transformed, of course I had to show off to my femme, so I preformed a little backflip while saying, "We rollin'!" We all drove to the cargo plane and loaded up for a two hour flight.

*Nightwolf*

I settled right next to Jazz and opened up a private comm. with him. I swear, if he was in his bipedal form, he would be smirking.

:: Are you alright sweetspark?:: I could sense some worry in his words.

:: Oh yeah, I'm fine. I just feel like I want to be cuddled and you happen to look awfully cuddly... and lovable. So, I'm going to stay with you all day. I hope you don't mind...:: after I was done explaining myself, Jazz seemed to just radiate happiness.

:: Oh, sweetspark. You know you can cuddle with me anytime, just not anybot else. If you need anybot for anything, come to me. I'll help you whenever you might need It.::

I felt comforted by his words. He could read me like an open book, and I don't know if I should feel loved or scared. I felt like if he could got it, then anybot can, but I'm also happy that, even though he knows my faults and needs, he doesn't back down, he takes every challenge with open arms. And I loved that.

He seemed to sense my hesitation and got worried. ::Sweetspark... You don't have to come just to me yo-::

::NO! Jazz! Do not do that to yourself! There is no reason why I wouldn't go to you if I want to cuddle, or a shoulder to cry on. Jazz, you are my everything and I don't know what I would do without you. I love you so much! I would tear worlds apart for you! I can't imagine my live without you in it... I also understand where you were coming from when you told me to stay by your side. I understand completely, I was just ashamed of what I did to you, sickened even. Jazz, I love you!::

:: Sweetspark... I love you too. More than you know... When I raised my visor, I felt exposed, and honestly, I didn't know how you would react, and that scared me. I thought that you would reject me, but I'm glad you didn't... Nightwolf, you are the first femme other than a medic and my creators that I willingly showed my optics to. You are my everything. I will never willingly hurt you, ever. I love you too much to do that.::

After he finished speaking, I felt like I wanted to transform and tackle him... as oddly as that sounds. All I wanted to do all day long was just cuddle. Maybe I could ask him to just sit and hold me later. I really don't think he would mind...

:: Hey, Jazz... When we get back from this trip, can you and I just cuddle... please?::

:: I would love to, but... I have a surprise for you later. After the surprise I would be more than happy to cuddle with you, though, if that is what you want, I will do it for both you and myself.::

Just as I was about to respond, I felt the plane tip downwards.

Just then, Will came over towards the two of us. "Hey, you two have been awfully quiet, are you alright?"

"Yeah, we have a private comm. open between the two of us. We were just talking to each other. Are we almost there?" I explain to Will as he leaned against me.

"Yeah, we have to drive for a bit though, we can't find a safer place to land that is closer than where we're already landing." He gave my hood a pat before he walked away to inform the other 'Bots.

I can't wait until I can see my carrier again! Oh, I bet she will be so proud of me!

I finally felt the cargo plane land. I transformed into my beast mode, making a couple of people jump away from me. I shook myself out so my fur plating settled more comfortably.

Dandelion, who was also in her beast mode, stood next to me. People started to climb into the other Autobots, all except for Jazz and Prowl, whom both transformed into their bipedal modes.

'Lion and I both knelt down in front of the two mechs, shifting a couple of plates around for a place to sit and a bar to hang on too. Jazz and Prowl both climbed on our backs.

:: Hey, guys! Jazz, Prowl, Dandelion, and I are going to patrol until they enter the atmosphere.:: I said on the open comm..

I received multiple, 'be careful's' and with a go ahead from the big boss, we took off.

In unison, Dandelion and I both raised our helms and called out, me howling; Dandelion roaring. We both lowered our helms and picked up the speed.

:: Dandelion, Prowl. I am going to turn around, keep going in a circle, we will go the opposite direction.:: I commed the others as began to slow.

:: Alright, be careful. Howl if you smell a 'Con. Jazz, keep your femme safe!:: Prowl commed as he waved us out with the Hitler salute.

:: You don't need to tell me twice! Actually you don't need to tell me once. But you two stay safe as well, Prowler.:: Jazz replied with a smirk on his faceplates.

:: Will do.:: Prowl said as he rode out of sight.

For a while, that's all we did, every circle I would pass those two... twice and we would keep on going. We did this for hours until we heard a sonic boom. We both stopped and looked up. Three 'meteors' were headed straight for us.

I look around at everybot as they get ready for the tree 'Bots to land. I trotted over to the others were waiting with Jazz still on my back.

Dandelion appeared to my left with Prowl still on her back. When we made it to the others, the two mech jumped off of our backs, allowing us to transform.

I stretch as I finish transforming, "Talk about a run! That took forever. I mean, we even left a trail where we ran!"

Dandelion looked at me while shaking her helm in amazement, "Only you would think that running with a mech on your back is fun, only you."

I nodded at her with a shit-eating grin on my lip plates, "You bet I thought that was fun!"

She continued to shake her helm and sighed. She glanced upwards as the three femmes passed over our helms.

I walked (more like ran) to my sire. As I stopped by his side, he turned and smiled down at me, "Are you ready to see your carrier?"

I beamed up at him and nodded vigorously. "This will be the best Spark day that I have ever had. It even tops the time you gave me a new cannon!"

He chuckled and shook his helm, "Then, let's go see her!"

I glanced at Jazz, who was by my side, and grabbed his servo, pulling him along with me.

I stopped a little bit away from the steaming metal, watching carefully as it started to shift into three femmes in bright armor. One is bright purple; Arcee, another bright pink; Elite-One a.k.a. Elita, and last but not least one bright blue one; Chromia, my carrier.

I watched as she stepped forward. She froze when her optics landed on Ironhide and I, "Nightwolf...Ironhide?"

That's when I knew. I launched myself at her with glistening optics, "CARRIER!"

She caught me with her arms wide, "My sparkling..." She mumbled into my audio receptor, rocking back and forth gently, "Happy Sparkday, sweetspark..."

~Jazz~

I watched Nightwolf embrace Chomia with soft optics.

I turned when I felt a heavy servo land on my shoulder. Ironhide looked at me with a calculating look, then glanced at his femmes, "You love her, don't you?"

"More than you know... when I wake up every orbital cycle, the first thing I think about is her. I don't know when it started, but I know I don't want it to end. As for today, I want this to be the best it can be for her. And I trust her unconditionally. I don't know what I would be without her." I sighed and glanced up at Ironhide.

"Alright, I trust you to keep her safe from any harm whenever I cannot. Do you understand?" He glanced at me out of the corner of his optic.

I looked up at him in shock, I had honestly thought he would tell me to be careful and to never hurt her, "Yes! I understand completely. But, I was expecting you to say to never hurt her." I saw him smirk as he watched Chromia look over Nightwolf.

"I already know you would never hurt her, you proved that in the past, before the war."

"Oh, I see. But, just remember that war can change a mech. Not that I would ever think about hurting her. Not intentionally, never. I'm glad that she is having a wonderful Sparkday. I just hope she likes my surprise."

"Don't worry she'll love it." He reassured me.

"SIRE!" "IRONHIDE!" We both heard before Ironhide was tackled to the ground with two femmes on top of him, snuggling close. He wrapped an arm around each femme, pulling them close to him. I chuckled and looked away, giving them privacy.

I saw Elita standing close to Optimus and Arcee was being examined by both Ratchet and Dandelion.

"Jazz!" I quickly spun around, looking for danger when I was suddenly tacked. I almost fought back, but then I felt a tail fall against my leg. "You looked left out and my creators were saying stuff that put very wrong images in my processor. So, I hugged you!"

"More like you tackled me!" I said with a chuckle, "Besides, I think it's time to go..." She gave me one last hug before she climbed to her pedes.

"Autobots!" Optimus rumbled out, we all look over at him, "It is time to depart! Autobots, roll out!"

I was about to transform but Nightwolf spoke up before I could, "Wait, don't transform."

She transformed down into her beast mode and howl. I turned towards Dandelion, who gave an answering call. I'll have to ask 'Wolf what that means later. I turned back to 'Wolf and noticed her kneeling down in front of me. I climbed onto her back and she took off towards the cargo plane.

~Nightwolf~

*Time skip*

I was about to walk into the main hanger before Lunar Storm stopped me, "Hey, 'Wolf!" I turned towards her voice. She stopped in front of me, "Wanna go for a run?"

I instantly perked up at the invite, "Oh course! Let's go!"

Unknown to Nightwolf, the run was just used as a distraction for final touchups for her surprise.

:: So who is that blue femme you were talking to earlier?:: Lunar Storm asked over a private comm.

:: That's my carrier! I haven't seen her in several vorns. I missed her soo much.:: I replied with pure love in my voice.

:: That explains a lot. So, I'm pretty sure I know the answer... but are you and Jazz courting?:: She asked, sounding sort of embarrassed.

:: Yeah! He asked five vorns ago, right before I came to Earth, so, I haven't been able to answer him until recently. Doesn't help that he thought that I had deactivated. I'll tell you about that later.:: I replied happily.

:: O-kay?:: Lunar Storm replied as she glanced over at me as we ran through the forested side of the island:: How about Dandelion and Prowl? All I feel between them is sexual tension. It's weird to be in the same room as them.::

:: I know! Oh; Can you fly or jump really far?::

:: Yeah, both, why?:: she answered as we came up to a field.

:: At the end of this field is a cliff. And I have to jump pretty far to make it.::

:: Oh. Okay, I'll fly across::

:: Alright we're almost there!:: I yelled as I saw the edge of the ledge.

I glanced over at Storm to see that her wings were out and she was ready to take off. When my pedes were against the ledge, I pushed off with all the strength I could muster into my hind legs.

I soared through the air, feeling like I was floating. I was halfway through when I felt the pain. I blacked out, but before I did, I heard a roar of anger.

~Jazz~

I was just about finished with the hanger when everybot received an unexpected and devastating comm.

:: I hate to say this, but I need back-up! Seekers shot at Nightwolf, she's unconscious, but online. Please hurry!::

By the time she was done talking I was already heading towards her coordinates, Ironhide and Chromia not too far behind, Dandelion a close third.

:: We are on our way! Hang on for just a bit longer, Lunar Storm!:: I commed as I sped even more ahead.

We didn't receive an answer, but we did see Lunar Storm fly higher with seekers shooting at her. I realized that she was leading the trine away from Nightwolf.

I watched as she stopped in midair and flames flew out at the seekers. I came up to a ravine between two cliffs. A little ways away, Nightwolf was laying on her side in her beast mode.

Dandelion and Ratchet ran over to her; Ironhide and Chromia looked over at her with anger in their optics. Not at Nightwolf, but towards the 'Cons. I felt the need to rip them apart myself.

Ironhide turned towards Sideswipe, "Now is a perfect time for your signature Jet Judo!"

"Alright! As long as I don't get burnt to a crisp. Give me a click or two!" and with that, he was gone.

"Jazz," I turned towards Ironhide, "Scout the area for more 'Cons. I will watch over Ratch and 'Lion while they tend to 'Wolf." I nod and took off. This is not what I wanted for Nightwolf.

*Time skip*

After the 'Cons escaped and Ratchet and Dandelion put a quick patch on Nightwolf's injury, I carried her to the med-bay.

When we arrived, Dandelion did her thing, whatever that was. Apparently she talked to Primus who sent her a data burst of what to do and how to do it in the least amount of time.

After I was sent away, I searched for the Storm cloud. Unsurprised to find her on top of the base, I climbed up and sat next to her.

She gave me an irritated look, "What do you want mech? I'm busy."" I gave a snort. She shot me another glare.

"I just wanted to say thank you. You watched over Nightwolf and let the 'cons away from her. I know you had nothing to do with this." After I was done giving my thanks, she scoffed at me.

"No thanks needed. I did it without a second thought. She is the first to truly trust me, to be friends with me. Tigerlily tries, but I can tell she is scared of violence, therefore, of me. I do not blame her, though. As for Dandelion, I have only talked to her once or twice." She shrugged and looked back out at the noon sky.

I can't believe its only midday and we already have had so much stuff happen.

"I did not thank you for your actions, but for letting her befriend you. Sure, she can get violent on the battlefield, but other than that." I took a shaky ventilation, "She hates causing pain, but she would rather take the pain herself then let the other two suffer from it. She wants to live in peace again. So the thanks is for letting her in."

"She loves you," I chuckled, "No, take me seriously. All she does is talk about you! Don't let her go, you'll be sorry if you do." She said with impassive faceplates.

I gave her a questioning look, "I would never be able to, and I can't live without her. Did you have somebot?"

"Naw, but I have seen many become on empty shell after somebot who was close to them offline or just walk out on them." She stretched out her back and leaned back on her servos.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you up here all the time?" she looked at me out of the corner of her optic.

"I like being high up. Plus, I keep and optic out for danger." I nodded in understanding. "Enough about me. Earlier, before she was shot down, Nightwolf mentioned that at one point in time you thought she had offlined. Care to explain that to me?" She raised an optic ridge when I cringed.

"The three beasts_" I was cut off by the hanger doors bursting open and Dandelion running out holding her helm. "Oh Primus! Please not Nightwolf! Don't take my Nightwolf! NOT NIGHTWOLF!" I screamed shorting out my vocal processor from the strain of my yelling. The fear in my spark threatened to consume me whole.
