Hey everybot I'm here with a well waited for chapter for TE! Recap from the last chapter PROWL ASKED TWILIGHT ON A DATE! OMP! You can stop messaging me bout hints and to update now, cause here it is! Enjoy!~
I you ever made plans with someone who is in the same room as you while they are unaware of that fact? How about you do that while pretending to be the pet that is curled up into their lap?
Let me tell you, it is strange don't ever do it.
Thankfully we agreed that he could not pick me up from 'my' unit because it would risk one of my 'coworkers' finding out that I was a Enforcer and was the leak that they were looking. Nor could I go to his unit cause a) I supposedly had no clue where he was living and b) If I had a tail for when I am off it would prove even more dangerous. After much discussion we agreed that it would be best for us to meet on neutral ground, of course someone had to hack into our channel and pounced on the fact we should meet at his unit and that I should get there earlier so he can help me for our 'date'.
So Jazz'es living unit it is.
If I could I would roll my optics and smile in my true form because even though Prowl had asked for me to keep him company for his off-cycle he still went to the Enforcers HQ no doubt to see if he could still get some work before he was to pick me up from Jazz'es unit. At least he remembered to let me out so as he went one way I managed to get there and discreetly transform and knocked on the door.
But why do I get to nervous at the face splitting grin?
000000000000000000000000
I still don't like baths, and showers, no surprise but Jazz pretty much locked me in his washracks and automatically turned it on right on me. He's so lucky that I don't want to wash energon off of my claws before I was to go on this date with Prowl or I would have murdered him by now. Very lucky mech indeed.
Then off course he wouldn't let me do the next part, so I had to sit absolutely still as he repainted me and even waxed me. I don't exactly mind it actually felt good but he didn't have to put me into stasis cuffs to do so. Then again, he wanted to do it right after I finally managed to get out of the pit-spawn creation called the washracks and I had not been amused on how he got me to get a bath. But really? Was the stasis cuffs and gag necessary? Then again he does really good work, I don't think my armor has ever been this shiny or good looking as far as I have ever known. But what I don't understand is both how and why he took my visor off and claimed he was not going to give it back to me till the date was over and when I came back here to get it.
As it got closer for the date I couldn't help but be confused on why the sparkrate speed-ed up and I couldn't stay still. Sure I have a bit of a crush on Prowl but I have no idea why the fact we were going out formally with each other or the fact this would be the first time he would see my optics without my visor would make me so nervous.
And apparently I was showing my nervousness outwards, much to Jazz'es amusement.
"Twi'! Stop pacin' ya 're makin MEH nervous and ah ain't goin on da date!"
I stopped mid-stride and flicked my optics over to my other adoptive littermate who had a very amused look on his face as he held out two energon cubes for me. I picked them up and looked over at him with a completely lost look. I was about to ask him what these were for when his door chime sounded out making my audios to perk up and I froze in place. My spark was going crazy as all types of scenarios rolled out through my processor on what was going to happen, after seeing my look of frozen horror Jazz actually laughed in my face and nearly knocked me over as he slapped my backstrut in a friendly way.
"Yah'll be fine Twi'. Jus wait here, ah'll bring 'im in and them yah'll come out and offer energon ta da two of us before ya go out. And once 'e sees ya all prettied up he'll be at yer pedes." And with that he left me there in the room to let Prowl in and go on with this 'plan' of his. All I could do is stand there and feel helpless and having this one question roll around in my processor without an answer that I could possibly come up with...
What would he think of me?
Prowl's P.O.V.
I was at Jazz'es living unit after failing to be able to even get into work since Regal changed the acess codes to the building and gave everyone besides myself and Twilightdancer the new codes to make sure that we couldn't come in and try to work on our off-cycles. Apparently I wasn't the only one that saw the logic that one should not break and relax until the job was done, but no one else seemed to agree with us.
I had also temporarily went back to my unit for a wash and fix up my paint job, though I am not sure as to why, whatever Jazz may see this was not a date. It's just that I have found in the short time that I have been in her presence I enjoy Twilightdancer's company. And logically since we are both off this cycle it would be pleasing for the both of us to spend our time off in each others company.
However I can't deny that I get this feeling in my spark when I see her but logically I just believe that its because of her history and her devotion to being an Enforcer, and even being one of the more dangerous division.
But why did I feel like I wanted to lock her in her unit when she told me of their plan to bust the big sale of kidnapped/slave buy that was going to happen in two cycles from now? Logically I know that she could easily handle anything that could and that Regal and her partner could help her no problem should something happen.
But when I think of her being sold to some mystery mech or femme doomed to be a pleasure bot I have this unpleasant feeling in my spark that seemed to rage like a fire. Perhaps I will volunteer myself and Barricade to help with the arresting, that might help with putting my spark at ease.
My thoughts were interrupted when the door opened to reveal my closest friend-I will never tell him that he is-Jazz as he opened his door.
"Prolwer!"My doorwings twitched along with my left optic at the cursed nickname he has given me but I knew reprimanding him would do no good, so I plainly ignored him.
"Good orn Jazz, I have come to pick up Twilightdancer. Is she here?"I kept my voice neutral and even as he let me into his unit. I was on guard immediately when I saw his face split into a grin and motioned for someone else behind me, so logically I turned around to see who it was.
It took all of my will power to not crash, not exactly sure why though.
Twilightdancer walked in holding a cube of energon in each servo. But she looked, different than what I am use to seeing. She was freshly waxed and painted to where her paint shone with a startling sheen. I could also vaguely smell solvent coming off of her meaning she has also taken a shower. But what caught my attention the most was her optics.
After checking over my memory files I confirmed that this was the first time I have seen her optics. Sure I knew that they were a unusual green color since her visor was unmistakably a clear one but now that I could see them clearly, I took note that as they got closer to the center they seemed to take on a more blue-ish color. They were...stunning at that thought my processor froze as I tried not to make myself glitch.
I was snapped out of my thoughts and concentration when her smooth alto voice sound with only a hint of nervousness and uncertainty.
"Would either of you like a cube of energon before Prowl and I head out?"

Twilight's P.O.V.
Dear Primus, I wish I knew what was going through his processor right now. I Thought as I stood there holding the energon cubes while trying to keep my cooling fans from spinning faster. Why in the name of the Allspark did I agree to do this? Oh right, I didn't, Jazz just jumped this on me at the last klick.
"No thank you Twilightdancer, I refueled before I came here. I won't need to refuel for a couple more joor as long as I don't do anything that would require more than a normal intake of energon." Prowl formally and kindly declined making my adoptive littermate frown as it appeared that his plan failed in front of him. He then gave the doorwinged mech an elbow to his mid-section.
"Lighten up Prowler! Ah swear, yah can drop da formal slag around mah sistah." Prowl flinched at his hatted nickname and at the curse. But all the same he made no move to grab a cube, giving a defeated vent Jazz came over and took both cubes from me and chugged one before he set the other one down somewhere that I did not bother taking note of.
"Jazz, my designation is Prowl not Prowler, and seeing that technically Twilightdancer is still your charge you should refrain from using such language in front of her." Where they really going to get into this conversation?
"She's 'eard worse." Apparently yes.
"It matters not if she has heard worse or not, even though you are not needed as much since she is of age you should still set an example for her. And as a femme she should not be around such coarse language in case she tried to repeat it." Should I take offence to that or something? Or the fact they are arguing this in my presence without acknowledging me. More data is needed for me to make a conclusion for that. But for now I should stop them if Prowl and I wanted to leave sometime this cycle.
"Excuse me Jazz, Prowl, should me not move onto a different topic?" I gently and carefully cut off the growing argument. Causing both mechs to look at me, both with very different reactions. While Jazz sported an amused grin and backed off, Prowl looked at me with a blank calculating look, how this two are best friends I cannot even begin to calculate.
"You are correct Twilightdancer, thank you for dissolving our argument seeing that it was unintentional. You look very nice this cycle as well, and it is very...nice to see your optics for once." After he said that and gave me a tight-but warm-smile I lost it a bit and my cooling fans whirled a little louder but only enough for the more audio sensitive mech-Jazz-to quietly chuckle.
"Thank you Prowl." I thanked him kindly unable to find any other words to say but I was also able to keep up my professional and formal speech. To which he responded with a tight smile of his.
After that we bade farewell to Jazz-but not before he gave me a sly wink for some reason-and we went out into the city. Though, I am a bit confused and lost on what exactly to do. What? I usually spent what free time-if I allow myself any now that I am an Enforcer- either napping or lounging fully stretched out in my true form. And Prowl seemed just as confused as me, but for very different reasons I am very certain of.
In the end we spent alot of time in the Helix Gardens admiring the beauty and quiet all around us. Prowl even gave me a music crystal that was growing there in bulk when I told him that I loved to come here and relax since the sounds were soothing to my sensitive audios. Not at all a lie, just didn't tell him I was a Cybercat when I came here. My spark felt like it skipped a beat when he gave a true smile when I thanked him and said it was only logical for a femme to have something that was both pretty and something I liked.
Much later when we both needed to refuel he took me to this comfy energon cafe that was both nice and fairly priced. It also seems to be a regular spot of his that I had not known about till now, the staff here greeted him warmly to which he responded with his own type of warm greeting of his that unless you knew him it would have seemed emotionless and formal. They were really nice to me and seemed very thrilled at the fact that Prowl brought a femme to their establishment. And it took all my control to keep a calm look when the waitress that had brought our orders came over and spoke. "Bout time you stubborn Praxian, I was starting to think you were interested in that mech from Kaon you bring here with you so often." When I really wanted to choke on my sweetened energon in either horror or laughter-I spend way too much time with Jazz-. I finally gave into giggles when I saw the look of horror on his face along with the disgust of the idea of him and 'Cade together. It's mean I know but a) I spent WAY too much time with Jazz lately and b) The look on his face was just so funny for one that knows him enough to know he doesn't show THAT much emotion often. At the sound of the soft sound said look actually turned into a soft, gentle look that made me stop giggling and speed my cooling fans up in embarrassment.
Even though I had credits and offered several times Prowl insisted that he pay for our meals, tip included, even we have told Jazz, older bots at the gardens and here, and sparklings or younglings that we have come across that it wasn't a date.(Or to me it wasn't an actual one)
Sadly the cycle came to an end and I needed to return to 'my' unit. Still chatting we walked slowly back to Jazz'es unit with Prowl escorting me. For the first time since we 'met' we were both at ease with each other and also relaxed enough to find that the others company was great to have. Well, I kinda already knew that but now I don't mind that I don't have alot of alone free time as a Cybertronian.
As we reached our destination we formally said farewell to each other and once I was sure he was out of range I returned to my true form and made it back home for me to greet him when he came through the door. And as I curled up with him on his berth I felt my spark singing and dancing around in its chamber. And while I don't know why it has such a strong reaction, even for a crush, I couldn't help but agree with it on some level.
This cycle, has bee a very good one.
DONE!*Falls down on the ground exhausted* This has been the longest chapter I have written for this story! Anyway, what do ya think of that? Both Prowl AND Twilight are in denial on how deep their emotions for each other go exactly, though, Twi' is a bit more aware of them than Prowl. I'll start working on the next chapter as soon as possible and action will ensue! Till next time folks!
