Arcee let out a soft sigh, "Thank you. Have you seen Wheeljack?"

"I think he's still asleep ma'am"

"Best wake him up. How long until my father gets here?"

"Should be here later this afternoon"

"Alright," Arcee headed off to wake Wheeljack.

Wheeljack was still sound asleep dreaming of his time with Arcee, their future together and everything.

Standing by the door Arcee watched Wheeljack for a moment, He looks so peaceful, she thought as she walked into the room, "Wheeljack," she called softly as she shook his shoulder.

"Five more minutes mom, I'm dreaming about my girl" Wheeljack said still asleep.

Arcee chuckled softly, "I'm your girl?"

Wheeljack then woke up and looked at her, "Arcee?"

"Morning," she smiled as she placed a hand on her hip.

"Morning. Did you hear anything I just said?"

"Yep."

"Oh.." he says as he tries to stop himself from blushing, "I was dreaming about you"

"Really?" she smirked as she sat beside him.

"Yeah.."

"Good things I hope."

"Very good"

"Anything I want to know about?"

"Was just dreaming about our times together and a future together" he said the last part in a bit of a whisper.

Wrapping her arms around his neck she rested her helm on his shoulder, "These last few days went by too quickly. I would rather spend the rest of my life with you than with him," she whispered.

He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, "I know, and I would give anything to spend the rest of my life with you"

Arcee buried her face into his shoulder, "Just got a message from father, him and Megatronus are on their way back and should be here later this afternoon"

"Well, let's make with the time we have left. Is there anything you want to do?"

"Not that I can think of. Is there anything you want to do?"

"Why don't we take a walk through the city?" Wheeljack asked as he thought of their first day together, "We could bring some energon to your friends," he added.

"Ok, we can do that"

With a smile Wheeljack got up and went to get some energon. Arcee followed him and they got some energon and left the house.

"Are we taking the same route or will we be taking a different one?" Wheeljack asked as they arrived at the familiar neighborhood.

"We'll take the same route"

"Alright, I'm sure they'll be happy to see us."

"I'm sure they will" they take the route and drive through the neighborhood. Once they had arrived at their destination the two transformed, ready to help those in need.

The old bot walks up to them, "Arcee, nice to see you again"

"It's good to see you as well. Is everyone doing alright?" Arcee asked as she handed out some energon.

He lets out a sigh, "A few got taken away by orders of the council. But the ones who are still here are doing pretty well. Just scared and hungry"

Arcee froze when she heard this. After a moment she looked to the elder bot, "I'm sorry. How long ago did this happen?"

"A couple days ago"

"Arcee are you ok? You're shaking," Wheeljack asked as he handed a bot an energon cube.

"Yeah, just fine"

Wheeljack stayed quiet as he continued passing out energon, he hoped Hologen didn't have anything to do with this. They finished handing out the energon and headed back to the house. Arcee just stayed silent, she couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Arcee?"

Arcee snaps out of her thoughts, "Huh?"

"You've been quiet the whole drive. Are you alright?"

"I just can't believe that happened, and under the orders of the council"

"What do you think happened?"

"Not sure. Maybe the council got fed up with all the rioting and uprising and everything and decided to start gathering them all up and put them away"

"The only thing that will do is cause more riots and get everyone upset."

"I know. No telling what they were thinking, if anything they made things worse"

"I agree," Wheeljack sighed as they walked inside her home.

They go inside and find that Halogen and Megatronus were there already, "Where were you two?" Halogen asked.

"Just on a little walk around the neighborhood," Wheeljack replied simply.

"I see. Was it a nice walk?"

"It was."

"Good. Now if you would follow me I'll give you your credits and you can be on your way" Halogen said as he headed towards his office. Glancing down at Arcee for a moment he brushed his hand against hers before he followed Halogen to his office.

She watched them walk away feeling spark broken wishing that she could go with him, but she can't leave her father and she must obey him and his wishes. Megatronus looked at her, "Would you do me the honor of going on another walk with me?" he then asked her. Arcee simply nodded, she didn't want to say anything to Megatronus.

They go out to the grounds to take a turn about, "I know you don't approve of your fathers arrangements but I can guarantee that you'll be safe and happy, I'll be a good mate for you"

"Why do you want me as your mate?"

"Cause your the most beautiful femme I've seen and your courageous and always willing to speak your mind and stand up for what you believe in, all that just got me to fall for you and decide to make you my mate"

"I see."

"I'm not gonna force it on you, I'm willing to wait until your ready"

Then you'll be waiting for a lifetime, I will never become your mate.

"So what all did you do while we were gone?"

"Nothing much."

"Your father and I went to take care of some business and from the looks of it I'll be the next Prime. So you will be mates with a Prime"

"If you don't mind me asking, what kind of business?"

"Just some council business and getting everything in order. Also I went to see a friend"

"Must be a good friend."

"He is. I'm like a mentor to him, he's an archivist name Orion Pax"

"He sounds like an interesting mech."

"He is, and very kind natured with a pure spark. Though I wish he would be a bit more tougher he's still a good mech and a good friend"

"Sounds like you admire him," she said with a hint of amusement.

"Not really that so much, just intrigues me the way he looks at things"

"How did you two meet?"

"He would watch me fight in the arena and one time after a fight he came up to me and talked and we had a chat and he starting looking at me as his mentor and we just became friends after that"

"I hope I can get to meet him someday."

"Hopefully someday"

oOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOo

"Did she ever meet him?" Miko asked.

Bulkhead looked to Optimus before replying, "In a way she did."

"She met me after I became Optimus Prime" Optimus spoke up.

"Whoa, that is so cool," Miko whispered with excitement.

"Wait, you were Orion Pax and you were friends with Megatron?" Jack asked trying to grasp everything he just heard.

"At the time I was, until the Matrix of Leadership chose me as the next Prime," Optimus replied.

"Wow"

"So, what is this Matrix and why did it choose you?" Raf asked in curiosity.

"That's a whole different story that we will tell another time" Optimus replied with a little smile.

"I can't wait to hear that one. So what did Wheeljack do once he left? Did he and Arcee see each other again?" Miko asked.

"Actually they did.." Bulkhead replied.

oOooOoOooOOoOoOoooOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Arcee and Megatronus come in from their walk, just in time to say bye to Wheeljack. Wheeljack came to a stop and looked at Arcee, "I guess I'll see you around sometime," he spoke loudly before leaning closer to her, " Meet me tonight," he whispered.

"Ok" she whispers back, "Guess so" she then says loudly.

"Perhaps we could use his services again someday," Halogen said as he wrapped his arm around her.

"Perhaps" I really hope so she thinks to herself as she watches him leave.
