Well, it took me long enough to find ideas for this chapter. Can I say, curse writers block and that I wish it had never come into existence?

I'm going to respond to reviews at the end of the chapter now…

Anyway, here it is, Chapter 10 of TSOT: Afterwords. I hope you guys enjoy!

~.~

Celestia sighed and waited as patiently as she possibly could for the net to be lowered, and for the others to let her loose. The moment it was off, however, Sideswipe had her picked up and thrown over his shoulder.

"Is this really necessary?" She asked as he walked down the hallway towards the door.

"Yes."

"Why, may I ask, is this necessary?" She placed one elbow in the middle of his back and put her head in the hand that was attached to said arm.

"This is so you won't try and escape." He bounced her on his shoulder, causing her to let out an 'eep' and flare her wings for balance.

The chuckle that followed after that caused her to glare and smack the part of his shoulder that she could reach, which was more like his back… but who was counting?

"I resent this, by the way." She sighed.

"You've been overworking yourself, and you haven't paid any attention to me… I was feeling a bit put out." Celestia tried to keep her annoyed face, but the pouting voice that he gave her made her smile ever so slightly.

"Really?"

"Yep, I feel neglected."

Now she grinned, formulating a plan to make him put her down and prove that she wasn't meaning to 'neglect' him. With seemingly practiced ease, she reached down and promptly groped his aft. Sideswipe gave a shout of surprise and accidentally flipped the rest of her over his shoulder. Celestia laughed, righted herself using her wings, and gave him a cheeky smile.

"Catch me Sides."

And she took off on foot down the hallway, and out the door. Sideswipe and half of the base stared after her. Sideswipe finally managed to realize that she had issued a challenge, and took off after her with a growl.

"That was… interesting." A voice stated from the back wall.

Every bot in the room turned and were met with Chi, the Allspark herself. She smiled and waved.

"I have come to speak with a human girl that goes by the name of Emma Daley. Has anybot seen her?"

Several of the bots pointed towards the rec-room. Chi nodded, and then fixed the three Decepticons that were in the room with a pointed look.

"Starscream… I will be speaking with you at a later time. The same goes for you Thundercracker. Feel free to be scared." She smirked, and then waved to Skywarp. "Don't worry; you aren't going to be getting the same lecture as the other two, Skywarp. Have an enjoyable day."

And the Allspark skipped out of the room.

"Who in the pit was that?" Thundercracker asked once Chi was gone.

"That… was the Allspark." Ironhide stated from beside the door. "She hasn't been near here in a couple of years."

"And you just let her wander around?' Starscream asked incredulously.

"You try and cage her, see how far that gets you." Jazz said from the hallway that Chi had just skipped through.

Starscream stared at the third in command, but decided to shut up then. The Autobots still weren't happy about what Celestia had finally admitted he and Thundercracker did to her.

~.~ In the rec-room ~.~

"Hey Emma!" Bumblebee stated as he stepped up to the table where said human was sitting. "Can I talk to you?"

Emma blinked up at the younger TIC and nodded slowly, but Chi decided to burst in at that moment.

"Oh! Bumblebee, it's been quite a while…" The Allspark stated coolly.

Emma took in the girl that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. She had black hair, silver eyes, and wore a silvery sundress with silver strappy sandals on her feet. Her skin was so pale it would put the moon to shame and she raised one eyebrow at Bumblebee.

"I need to speak with Emma for a few minutes… it's rather important." Chi could barely keep her voice above freezing, she still wasn't too happy about him blasting her into space when she was still a cube.

Bumblebee sighed, but nodded. "Emma, this is Chi… The Allspark. I'll talk to you later… I guess."

And he walked away.

"Umm, forgive me… but who are you again?" Emma asked after a few seconds silence.

"I am the Allspark… the giver of life to all Cybertronians. I was once a cube, but am now able to shift my form to fit what I please. They haven't seen me in two or three years though. I've been too busy trying to find the human that has a spark to even talk to them…" Chi's brow furrowed. "Who would have known that said human would find the Cybertronians on her own… Primus must have had a hand in this…"

"Alright… pause." Emma held up her hand. "What?"

"Do I have to spell it out for you?" Chi asked with annoyance.

"Look, I'm a normal human." Emma stated evenly.

"Then why has Primus been able to speak with you?" Chi responded with another question. "I know that he spoke to you and to the young Prime, could he have done that if you were 'just a normal human'?"

Emma sat very still; she still had no clue what Chi was talking about.

"So they haven't figured it out yet…" Chi sighed, and then placed a hand on Emma's shoulder. "I'll show you then."

And Emma knew only white.

Celestia flew above the clouds, she was playing hide and go seek with Sideswipe… though she wasn't sure he realized that just yet.

"Come out 'tia!" Sideswipe called somewhere below her, and she had to fight back a giggle.

"I'll find you eventually!" He yelled after several minutes.

Celestia had forgotten how much fun the game was. They had played it on Cybertron when she was younger, her and Firestarter that is.

"Got'cha!" Sideswipe cried from behind her and she dodged his tackle-hug with practiced ease.

"You've gotta catch me first, Sides!" She laughed and landed on the ground.

His jet-pack wouldn't last long enough for him to chase her through the clouds, so she opted to continue the game on the ground.

"I'll get you yet 'tia!" He laughed and chased after her. They were in the desert, so they could run around and roughhouse for a while.

"I doubt that, my love." Celestia laughed, and then let out an 'eep' when she tripped.

"Caught you." Sideswipe smirked as he caught her in his arms before she hit the ground.

"So you did, love." She grinned up at him. "The question is; what are you going to do with me now that you have me?"

Sideswipe's smirk widened into a grin. "This."

And he planted his lips on hers; she felt all her frustration and tension flow away as she let herself drown in his kiss.

"Let's get out of the sun…" He stated breathlessly afterwards.

"Alright…" She stated quietly, staring up at him. "Lead the way love."

"I plan to, 'tia."

~.~

There ya go, hope you guys didn't expect anything too graphic. I plan on keeping this story 'T', so no graphic scenes will be included… though they will be implied!

The next chapter is going to deal with Emma mostly. And we get to see how special she really is. XD

So, thank you to my reviewer…

Luna Prime-Awesomness: Yes, and I hope I'm getting Emma's character right. Enjoy the plans I have for her!

And, on a final note: I know it's a bit short, but I was lucky to get even this much with my writers block.

Everybody review please!

Till all are one,

Chistarpax.
