AN: Sooooooo sorry this took so long. Life happened and so did school. This one was very hard, especially since I've never done the Aerialbots before. I'll try to make the next one better. I'm sorry. Also, a guest review requested a story. I still have other stories planned for this but I'll take the request into consideration and see what I can do with it. :) And this submitted weird last time so I'm going to try again. the site might've glitched.

Gather round friends and let us tell you a tale...

Once upon a time, in a far away kingdom there a tiny princess. She had tiny gold optics, a face and helm that were white the clouds and plating the color of a fiery sunrise. For this reason she was named Sunriser. Unfortunately her mother had died in sparkling birth. Her father had died soon after but before he joined the Well of Allsparks he asked his relative Darklight to raise his tiny daughter. She had agreed but she was not happy about it. She took the throne but mostly had the nannies raise Sunriser and she ruled as a tyrant. Unknown to those in the castle, she practiced Dark Magic and keep an enchanted mirror in her chambers that always told the truth. Every day she would secretly asked the mirror one question, "Who is the fairest in the land?" As long as the mirror answered, "You are O Queen." she would be content. However she was very jealous of all the attention Sunriser got for the time she was little. As a result of this she confined the princess to the castle and never let her see the outside world. She also installed a device which would prevent her from flying, keeping the small seeker femme grounded her whole life. The bots in the castle were appalled at this but could do nothing to stop it. However Sunriser maintained a mostly positive outlook on life and tried to look on the bright side of things. As she grew she became very beautiful inside and out, which caused Darklight to grow even more jealous. And now our story begins...

Sunriser yawned as she woke up that morning. That chill that filled the morning air was now being chased away by the sunshine. The warm, loving sunshine. "Ah... What a lovely day." she murmured to herself. She stretched and got out of her berth. She looked out the window to see the new day. The sky was clear and the air was warming up. The princess smiled and got ready for the day. She walked down to the kitchen smiling brightly. The servants were glad to see her. They worked hard but Sunriser's hopeful smile brightened up their day. After breakfast Sunriser went outside to the castle gardens. She was allowed in the garden, just not beyond the castle walls.

Sunriser looked and the sky and frowned a bit. She looked at her wings. "I wish I could fly but I can't... It's hard having wings but not being able to use them." She sighed. "Oh well, no use dwelling on it." The seeker femme walked around the gardens to amuse herself. She saw the leaves rustle in the wind and the water in the fountain glimmer in the sunlight. She smiled and knelt down to pick some flowers which were blooming. She started signing to herself. Singing always lifted her mood, although she only did it when she was alone, as she didn't normally like anyone to hear it. However someone did hear her.

The one who heard her a mech from another kingdom. He was a jet was traveling with his brothers. However trying to keep them out of trouble was proving to be a challenge. "Get back here Air Raid! You can't just keep taking off like that!" The mech, Silverbolt was his name, called after one of his brothers.

"But Bolt, this is more fun!" Air Raid replied. The cheeky jet just laughed and ran off. Silverbot sighed. Air Raid never listened it seemed, unless it was an emergency.

"Oh look at these flowers! They're pretty!" Silverbolt turned to see Fireflight, his youngest brother looking over some wildflowers excitedly. Firelight was certainly the sweetest out of all of them. He was cheerful, curious and quite playful. Some bots have said he probably doesn't know how to be mean. However, he did have one problem. That was the fact that he had the attention span of a humming bird. He could never stay focused for very long, which proved dangerous while he was flying. But he never meant to cause trouble and no one could stay mad at him for long.

Then Silverbolt stopped. He heard something. It sounded like humming but it was a femme's voice and he could only see his brothers around. None of his brothers seemed to notice so he wondered if he was just hearing things. However he heard it again. This time it was louder. He was not hearing things. Skydive, his brother who was responsible, was watching the rest of them so he decided to find the source of the sound. He rode up to the walls of a castle he didn't recognize. The humming had been coming from inside but stopped. Silverbolt climbed up the wall to see if he could find the source of the sound.

~3~

Sunriser was picking some of the flowers in the garden to put in a vase in the servant's quarters. She thought they could use some color to brighten them up. "I'll bet these will look pretty on the mantle. They'll make the servant's quarters smell sweet too." Sunriser tried to make the best of the sad situation her life was in by doing things to make those around her happy. Happiness is contagious so why not try to spread it as much as possible? She didn't notice the stranger watching her over the wall. Sunriser was startled when she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. The seeker femme turned around and saw a strange winged mech standing there. Her optics widened in shock. "H-How did you get in here?" she asked backing away.

Silverbolt smiled kindly, not wanting to scare her. "Hello. I didn't mean to frighten you Miss."

Sunriser still was not sure if he could be trusted. "You still haven't answered my question. A-And you're not supposed to be in here."

Silverbolt blushed. He was very embarrassed. "I climbed over the wall. I'm sorry, but I heard someone humming and I wanted to see who had such a beautiful voice."

Sunriser blushed hard. No one had really told her her voice was beautiful. "Th-Thank you..." she said nervously.

From up above Darklight watched with jealous optics. Then and evil smirk spread across her face. She called her royal huntsman to her. "Ironhide! I need you."

The older, red mech walked into the room. "Yes Your Majesty?"

Darklight smirked evilly at him. "I want you to take Sunriser out into the woods and kill her!"

Ironhide was horrified. "But Your Majesty! That's murder!"

"Consider it getting rid of a pest. Now go or your family will pay the consequences." Darklight glared dangerously at the mech. "Bring me back proof of her death or else!"

Ironhide left the room. He was a warrior and hunter, but he could not condone the cold-blooded murder of an innocent femme. However Darklight was dangerous and he knew she would indeed harm his loved ones. What should he do?
