Well sorry about the wait on this chapter, it took me forever to type it since it was so long...and I was kind of lazy about getting it done too. But here it is now, 6848 words long, a little too long, you'll just have more to read. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!


Chapter 10: Prove Your Worth

Wing-Saber had stormed back into the base, obviously angry. He went straight to his quarters where he slammed the door shut and slumped down in a chair in his room. Oh, he was so livid. He wasn't sure if he had ever been this angry in his life. To find out his girlfriend, the person he obviously cared about the most was crushing on someone who wasn't him. He just didn't know how to forgive that. The autobot was thinking highly of breaking up with her, just because he felt she was unfaithful. She had the decepticon insignia and she hadn't even bothered to tell him about it.

But he had known before he asked her to be his girlfriend that she did like the bad guys and that she did have a severely bad crush on Megatron, one that wouldn't be erased from his relationship with her. Perhaps she was capable of loving someone else even though she preferred somebody else. Whatever it was, Angelique had for the most part stayed true to him. He knew she was a good girl and that her parents had raised her very well, he just wasn't sure if she could stay true, especially if Megatron started to woo her at all.

Though it was unlike Megatron to woo anybody. That just wasn't his style, he didn't seek the affection of anybody, all he wanted was war, destruction, death, and the universe at his feet. He wouldn't give up anything for a woman, especially for a human woman, particularly when he wanted everything for himself.

He knew she deserved a second chance since he had overreacted just a little. She hadn't done anything violent towards him, other than tackle him when he almost told Megatron that her crush was on him. But he had shoved her away and into the leader of the decepticons, a person who could've potentially inflicted more harm upon her if given the opportunity. He sighed heavily, needing to talk to his girlfriend and set things right with her. They just needed to talk, to see where this relationship was going…to see if it was going anywhere or would go anywhere. Just as he was about to get out of the chair he was sitting in there was a knock at the door of his quarters.

"Enter," he said in reply to the knock.

The door hissed open, revealing Optimus. The autobot leader stepped into the room saying, "I'll be forthright Wing-Saber, your actions towards Angelique were unacceptable."

Wing-Saber sighed, "I know sir. I was just about to find her and apologize."

"I believe she is in the hangout reading that book of hers. I'll leave you alone now, just be nice to her."

Wing-Saber nodded and watched as his commander left his quarters thinking, "He must think I'm breaking up with her." The autobot shook his head and then proceeded to exit his quarters, heading in the direction of the hangout.


Aurora entered her room in the autobot base wanting to use the computer but after thinking about it she decided that she would read her AP Biology book instead because that was what she needed to get done. She entered the room and turned on the light before going over to her desk where the book was and plopping down on her bed to read it. She had just gotten through one page when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Closing the book she set it aside and got up from the bed. Aurora walked over to the door and opened it, revealing Optimus standing there. "Oh hey Optimus," she stated greeting him, "What's up?"

"Just the ceiling," Optimus replied, "Are you busy?"

"Nope."

"Then perhaps you will accompany me on a date?"

She smirked, "What about that double date with—

"Ah, we'll count this as our third date then. We'll have to see what happens between Wing-Saber and Angelique first."

"Alright…but just what do you got in mind?"

"Let's you and I get out of the base for a little while, you know, for a drive around town. Except I'll be doing the driving."

"I hope so because I'm still working on getting my license," replied Aurora, "When did you want to go?"

"Right now…if you didn't mind," Optimus stated.

Aurora glanced over to the clock that was in her room and saw that it was just past two in the afternoon. "Okay," she remarked, "Let's skedaddle."

Suddenly she remembered something, "Wait, you transform into a fire engine though."

"Yes, so?"

"So don't you think you'll kind of stick out?"

"I'll just be a fire engine on parade I guess," Optimus answered, "Come on let's go."

Aurora shrugged giving into the autobot leader. He obviously wasn't worried, so she figured she wouldn't have any reason to be worried either. Yet deep down inside she couldn't stop a knot of worry from building. Whether it was female intuition or not, she had a feeling that something was bound to go wrong at some point while she and Optimus went on this date. And if something were to happen, which she felt would, she only hoped that it wouldn't be too bad.

They slipped out of the base together and walked up to the house. When they got there, they stepped into the garage and Aurora opened the garage door as Optimus transformed into his fire engine mode. After opening the door, she walked over to the autobot leader and he opened his door. Aurora climbed in and the door closed. The autobot leader proceeded to pull out of the garage and onto the road where he turned and headed into the town. The girl clicked her seatbelt over her and asked, "I have a feeling you have no idea where you're going."

"Actually I do, thanks to the satellite technology via the internet."

"Oh…right. I knew that."

Optimus chuckled and then Aurora suddenly thought of something, "Hey Optimus, do you think we're alright leaving Angelique back at the base?"

"Yes."

"But, what if Megatron comes after her? He said he'd be seeing her around."

"Wing-Saber will protect her."

"Unless they break up," Aurora commented.

Optimus sighed, "What happens between them is up to them. If you want my honest opinion though, I think even if they agree to stay together, it's going to be hard for them."

"Why?"

"They have so many differences."

"They say opposites do attract."

"But the only opposites between them are species and faction. I think the only common interest they share is a sense of humor."

"And with Megatron constantly interfering Wing-Saber might start getting ideas."

"Possibly. Even if Megatron knows of Angelique's high interest in him I doubt he'd care about it. He is more than likely to use it against her, a new form of torture."

"He is so evil."

"That's Megatron for you."

"And to think you're brothers in the movie," she murmured.

"Brothers?"

"Never mind."

Optimus didn't say anything as he drove through the town. Aurora pointed out various things to him, like the school, the fire station, various stores, the movie theater, and other places. Optimus spotted a group of kids walking together, they were dressed in black and the autobot leader couldn't help but to ask, "Are there gangs in this town?"

"Oh no, there used to be one, the Coffee Street Gang, but all they ever did was walk up and down the street at night smoking."

"What happened to them?"

"I don't know. They just fizzled out."

"Oh. Well, that's good. I don't want anybody coming after you."

Aurora felt her cheeks redden slightly and looked out the windshield as Optimus came upon the intersection. The light turned red but he failed to notice and drove through the red light…however the police officer parked close to the corner noticed him. Aurora nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the police siren behind them. She glanced at the rearview mirror only to see the police car with its lights flashing and siren going.

"Oh crap," she exclaimed under her breath.

"I'll lose him," Optimus stated.

"But Optimus, it's against the law—

She stopped her protesting when the autobot leader suddenly sped up and she was pressed back against the seat. "Oh yeah," she thought, "I was totally right when I knew something bad was going to happen."


Angelique sighed as she finished reading a chapter in her book. Setting it aside, she stretched and then started looking around for the television remote. She was just about to give up searching for it when a voice suddenly called out, "Knock, knock."

Angelique looked over to the doorway, "Oh, hey Wing-Saber."

He crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe, the shadows glinting off his figure, "May I come in?"

"What's the magic word?"

He smirked, "Please?"

"You may enter."

The autobot uncrossed his arms and walked over to the couch where he took a seat. He then sighed heavily saying, "Let's talk."

Angelique glanced down at her hands as she leaned back against the couch. The first words out of her mouth were, "I'm sorry."

"No I don't want to exchange apologies right now. I want to talk about us."

"Oh," she replied still not looking at him.

"Look, a lot happened today…we need to figure out if we're going to work or not."

Angelique sighed, "Okay…" She didn't know what else to say.

Wing-Saber waited for her to say something more but when she didn't he asked, "Just what do you think of me?"

She closed her eyes, sighing once again. After a few moments she replied, "You're a really good guy and you're a lot of fun to be with. I really like you…I just haven't reached the point where I can say I love you yet."

"And what about Megatron?"

"What does Megatron have to do with us?"

"Just answer the question."

"Well…I like him too; I just don't think I have any sort of chance with him."

"But what if a chance was presented to you? Who would you choose? Him…or me?"

And for the first time she looked at him, shooting him a glare, obviously angry, "Just who are you to be asking something like that when we've only been together for just over a week? Think about it Wing-Saber, I've adored him for five years compared to your seven or so days."

Wing-Saber returned the glare, "But you yourself just said you didn't stand a chance with him."

Angelique rolled her eyes, "Not long ago I didn't stand a chance with any of you transformers."

Wing-Saber sighed heavily. He had not intended on getting into an argument with her like this. Finally he said, "Alright, let's start this talk over."

"If it counts for anything," Angelique stated, "I really do like being with you…and I don't want to let this go…because I…" She trailed off.

"Go on," Wing-Saber said softly.

"I was starting to…forget him."

Wing-Saber grinned, "Then I was having an impact on you."

"Yes you were, and I really hope that you are still willing to."

"Well then, it shouldn't be long until Megatron is out of your heart and head."

"It'll take time Wing-Saber," she added strictly.

"But I will still have your affections."

Angelique nodded, "So…are we still together?"

"Yes, and now I'll take the time to apologize for my despicable behavior from earlier."

"You're forgiven. I just need you to forgive me for my own mistake."

"Anything for you babe," he replied before asking in a low voice, "Now shall we make as Sir Lancelot and the fair princess and go find Aurora and Optimus so we can share with them our tidings of great joy?"

Angelique chuckled, "Later, they're probably busy doing stuff themselves."

"I don't want to know."

The girl shook her head before saying, "I need to get back to reading this craptacular book."

"And I should return to my duties. Until we meet again my dearest!" And he kissed her cheek before leaving the hangout.

Angelique was just left shaking her head as she pulled her book back out.


Aurora glanced to the rearview mirror once again only to see the police officer was still following close behind them. She sighed, "I really hope that isn't Barricade."

"Who?"

"Never mind."

"Aurora, could you get out of view?"

"Get out of view? What do you mean?"

"Just get down so that no one can see you through the windows. I don't want people to think that you were driving me when you're not."

Aurora proceeded to undo her seatbelt and lie down in the seat. Out of all the transformers, Optimus was the last of all them that she expected would get her into this type of situation. She thought back to the cartoon and to how he respected human laws. Now here was breaking them, even if it was by accident and if it was for her protection. All of a sudden she remembered something, "Optimus, can't you fly?"

"Thank you Aurora," he remarked as he activated his flight system and took to the skies leaving anyone who had been watching them baffled, especially the police officer.

Once among the clouds, Aurora sat back up and quickly put her seatbelt back on. She then gazed out the windows, admiring the view of her town before asking, "So, just how are we going to get back to the base?"

"Who said we're going back to the base yet?"

"What more could you possibly have in mind?"

He chuckled, "I reassure you Aurora, running that red light and being chased by a cop was not part of my original plans."

"And what was?"

"Ah, you'll see when the time comes."

She drummed her fingers annoyed on the steering wheel, "You like to torture me with suspense, don't you?"

"I'm an autobot, I don't believe in torture."

"Ah, you butthead."

He snickered.


Angelique yawned knowing it was late as she finished reading another chapter of the book. She had spent the entire afternoon just about reading it and now she was a little past halfway. Looking at the clock she saw it was nearly seven o'clock and she was so surprised her eyes nearly bugged out of her head. "It can't be that late," she thought out loud, "Oh well…I wonder what Aurora's up to."

Her stomach growled suddenly, "But first let's get you taken care of." And she proceeded to the bar. Climbing over the counter she went over to the fridge and looked inside for anything edible. She had stocked the fridge with some items not too long ago. She made herself a sandwich and ate it rather quickly. It satisfied some of her hunger but she still had some munchies so she pulled a bag of nacho Doritos out of the cupboard. After grabbing a soda and her book, she sat down at the bar and started munching away as she began the next chapter of the book. She read the first half page and after she turned the page she opened the soda and took a couple gulps before setting the can down.

"What are you doing human?"

Angelique nearly jumped out of her skin when she looked and saw Megatron sitting on a stool beside her. He smirked at her reaction and she frowned, "Jerk! You're lucky I didn't spill my soda all over the place."

"Don't call me a jerk. Now what are you doing?"

"Reading if you can't tell for yourself, and eating too," she replied as she pulled a Dorito out of the bag, "Try it."

"I'll pass."

"Suit yourself," Angelique remarked as she popped it in her mouth and ate it. She then crawled back over the counter and put the bag of chips away. She was nearly scared senseless again when she turned only to have Megatron standing right before her. After giving him an evil eye she went over to the sink and started washing her hands, Megatron came over and leaned against the wall, watching her as she did so.

Annoyed she finally asked, "What do you want?"

"I can't find Optimus."

She gave him a sideways glance as she turned off the water and reached for a paper towel, "And I care because?"

He smirked, "Oh, so you don't like him very much either?"

"No, I never really have. Why are you looking for him anyway?"

"Territory issues."

"I see. I have no frickin' clue where he is and I don't know why you're coming to me about this either."

"Aurora's not around."

She looked to him after throwing the paper towel away, "How do you know?"

"I walked all over the autobot section of the base trying to find at least one of them but they are not about, I've asked all the autobots and they didn't know anything, like usual…so I came to you."

"They're probably out on a date or something."

"For this long?"

Her eyes widened, "Oh I sure hope to God that this is not their third date."

"Why?"

"Some people believe that on the third date you have…sex…though I don't see it happening between a transformer and a human and I don't want to see it happening and I have a really bad image in my head right now."

"Oh Primus."

Angelique then looked at him skeptically, "And why are you being nice?"

"Nice?" he asked before seizing her by the shirt collar and hoisting her to his optic level and growling, "Don't you ever tell me I'm being nice!" And he dropped her.

Angelique stumbled a bit but managed to stay on her feet. She shot him a glare before fetching her soda. She sat up on the bar counter and said, "If you don't mind me, I'm heading to my room."

Angelique wasn't sure how he moved so fast but suddenly he was standing directly in front of her, pressing his hands down on hers and preventing her from going anywhere. And he asked in an eerily sadistic voice, "And just who gave you permission to leave?"

"Um…" she said in a small voice, "God."

He frowned, "I don't think so human. And even if that were true, your God cannot save you now."

"Just what do you have in mind?"

"Oh, just making our relationship a little more…personal."

"H-How?"

He grinned, "Since you are the only human to bear my insignia and since you will be the only human ever to bear my official mark, I am going to take you under my wing and make you a decepticon."

"Okay…"

"Don't brush it off nonchalantly human, you're in for hell," he said evilly and then added, "And don't think Wing-Saber will rescue you from this either, this is between you and me. If you tell anyone…I'll kill you."

Angelique gulped, "Al-Alright."

And he released her, but before he let her go for good he handed her a device that looked like a small cellphone, "This is wired to my comlink. You will use this to contact me if necessary and vice versa. Understand?"

"Yes."

He waited.

"Sir."

"Very good. Make sure you have it with you at all times because if I contact you and you do not answer, there will be hell to pay…dismissed."

Angelique quickly left the room.


The sun was just beginning to set as Optimus landed at a pier. The pier wasn't much, just a small wooden dock over a river. Trees surrounded them so they couldn't see the setting sun, but that didn't matter to either of them. Aurora got out of Optimus and started walking over to the railing on the pier as Optimus transformed. He watched Aurora for a moment with a small smile on his face and then came up beside her as she stood at the railing, on looking the river and the scenery beyond that.

"How did you find this place?" she asked in a voice just above a whisper.

"I've done some driving around this town," he replied.

"When?"

"In some of my spare time."

"I didn't know that."

He didn't say anything and instead he placed an arm around her. Aurora suddenly remembered something when she felt Optimus's touch and she couldn't help but ask, "Optimus, what happened to Elita?"

The autobot leader sighed heavily, "You know about her?"

"Yes…"

He hesitated before saying, "She just…disappeared one day. I believe her to be dead, but I don't know. I haven't heard from her for vorns and vorns. It doesn't matter anyway…I don't miss her. She's nothing more than a distant memory now."

"I bet she ran off with Megatron."

Optimus chuckled, "If that's the case, he must've grown sick of her and killed her. You don't ever plan on running off with Megatron do you?"

"Absolutely not, I hate his guts. I don't know what my sister sees in him. She's tried to explain it to me, but it hasn't changed how I feel towards him," and she smiled, "Even if I joke around and say I like Megatron, she can't stand it. She'll give me a look of death before she tries to rip my head off."

"She needs to move on."

Aurora nodded, "Yeah, she even gets jealous when male friends of hers say they like Megatron. She'll try to convince them that they don't really like him and that they like some other transformer instead."

"She's obsessed…and I must say that's ridiculous."

"Ah not really."

"And why's that?"

"A few of her friends are homosexuals."

Optimus felt his optics widen, "Oh…she's not one is she?"

Aurora shook her head, "No. Homosexuals are just extremely friendly and nice people…well, usually."

"I see…okay new topic."

She chuckled, "Okay."

He pulled her against him and asked as the first star appeared in the sky, "Aurora, you know how you wished us alive?"

"Yes."

"Did you wish on the first star you saw?"

"Yes I did."

"Well since it worked the first time, why don't you make another wish?"

Aurora looked up to the sky and saw the single twinkling star. She smirked, "Okay, I'll give this another shot." And she closed her eyes and sighed. A few moments later she opened them and said, "There."

"What'd you wish for?"

"If I tell, then it won't come true."

"Can you swim?"

"Yes, wait! Why?!"

But he didn't answer her as he gathered her in his arms and jumped off the pier. Aurora didn't get a chance to cry out because the water met them before she could open her mouth. They slipped under the surface momentarily before Optimus resurfaced with her. She looked at him in total disbelief, "Optimus Prime! I am wearing jeans; you know how hard these are going to be to take off now that they're soaking wet?"

"They'll dry," he remarked smirking.

She shook her head and pushed away from him. The water wasn't that cold, but Aurora wasn't about to stay in it a moment longer so she started swimming over to the shore. Optimus caught her though and pulled her back out. She gave him a disgusted look before remarking, "Butthead."

He laughed, "I'm sorry."

She proceeded to splash him, "Aren't you going to rust?"

"Nah, I'm good," he replied, "Now since we're both soaking wet we mine as well take a little swim."

"Okay," she responded and then proceeded to dunk him.

Optimus soon resurfaced with a smirk on his face. "My turn," he said.

"Oh crap!" Aurora exclaimed and she started swimming away from him, but he caught her and dunked her beneath the surface of the water.

It wasn't long before she resurfaced and she was just about to yell at him when she abruptly felt something catch on her foot and pull her back below the surface of the water. Alarmed, Optimus dove under the water and quickly found Aurora, a branch from a fallen tree had hooked onto her pant leg. He grabbed hold of her and yanked her back up, snapping the branch in the process. 

When they were above the surface again, Aurora was trembling a bit from fear and Optimus held her tightly against him, "You okay?"

"Y-Yeah. I just forgot this river has a deadly reputation."

"Don't worry; I'm not going to let you go."

"That sounds…that sounds really good."

Optimus looked her over for a minute. Her hair was dripping wet and messy, her shirt was sticking right to her and she just looked absolutely beautiful. His optics dimmed and he leaned forward until his lips met Aurora's. He kissed her slowly, gently, with all the passion he could muster. And when the kiss was through, Aurora smiled softly before whispering, "Well, there's another wish that came true."

He couldn't hold back a smile.

And then Aurora said, "I'm cold."

"Let's get you back to your house then so that you can change into a dry pair of clothes."

"Alright."

He flew up out of the water, Aurora in his arms as he did so, and he landed on the pier. The autobot leader then opened a space gate and both he and Aurora stepped through it, ending up in her bedroom in the house. "Okay, wait here, I'll try not to take too long," Aurora stated as she grabbed a pair of dry clothes and headed into the bathroom where she promptly changed her clothes and then dried her hair. She then emerged from the bathroom after hanging her wet clothes over the tub and returned to her bedroom where Optimus was waiting.

Optimus walked up to her as she entered the room and wrapped his arms around her before saying, "Are you better now?"

She smiled, "Much better. We should probably get back down to the base though; people might be looking for us or wondering where we are."

"Right. We should probably go make sure Angelique is still in one piece."

"And after that I say we go to your quarters and watch a movie."

The autobot leader grinned, "Good idea. Come on, let's get going."

And the two of them proceeded out of the house and back down towards the base.


Angelique had gotten half way to her room when she realized she had left her book behind in the hangout. She groaned at her stupidity as she turned around and went back to the hangout, only to nearly have a collision with Megatron as he came out of the hangout. He crossed his arms, "Back so soon?"

"I forgot my book."

He waited.

"Um...sir," she said quietly and then added, "May I say something?"

"What?"

"Calling you sir is really awkward."

"Get used to it."

She waited for him to step out of her way but when he didn't she asked getting annoyed, "Megatron, can you move?"

He smirked, crossing his arms, "I can, yes."

"Will you please do so then?"

He stepped aside and Angelique walked by him and into the room. She hoped he wouldn't follow her back inside as she went over to the counter and got her book, but when she turned around and nearly crashed into him again she knew her hope had run out. "Okay," she said, "You must be really bored if you keep stalking me like this."

"Good guess."

"Alright then…let's watch a movie."

He looked at her skeptically, "A movie?"

"Yes, as bizarre as it sounds you and I are going to watch a movie," she stated and proceeded to toss her book onto the couch, "Now…to find a movie without any romance in it and one that won't make me cry."

The decepticon leader raised an optic ridge.

"Hold on a minute," Angelique remarked and went over to a small shelf where some DVDs were being kept. She glanced through them thinking, "National Treasure…no it has a kissing scene, Monty Python and the Holy Grail…definitely not, Independence Day…possibly, The Princess Diaries 2…I practically have that memorized and Megatron wouldn't like it, Pirates of the Caribbean…too long, Transformers…ha ha that would be a laugh, but I can never make it through the whole movie without having to use the restroom. Um…there's got to be something here…Star Wars, no…God I need to go buy some movies. Wait a second what's this? Ah, War of the Worlds…eh, not perfect but it'll have to do." She pulled that movie out and turned to Megatron saying, "Okay got one."

"Took you long enough."

"I had a poor selection…but I found a good enough one…I hope," Angelique said and then looked to Megatron before saying, "Alright…let's just watch this."

He watched her as she walked over to the DVD player and placed the DVD inside after removing it from the case. She then looked back over at him and they locked eye contact for a moment before Angelique frowned and walked over to him. Grabbing him by the hand she tried to drag him over to the couch, but she had no such luck, "Move you megaton megalomaniac!"

The decepticon leader frowned, "You better not be calling me fat."

"No, I'm calling myself weak," she murmured but he heard her.

"You got that right," he replied and started walking; Angelique nearly tripped over herself when he did so, but she retained her poise and led him over to the couch.

They took a seat once there and Angelique groped around the cushions for the remote. She was sitting in the middle of the couch, and when her search for the remote turned up nothing, she flipped up the cushion to the empty seat to see if the remote was under it, but it wasn't. The girl then got up and looked under her own cushion, but it wasn't there either. She then looked to Megatron who looked back to her and said, "Don't even think about it."

"I need to find the remote."

"Has it ever occurred to you that you can walk up to the television and press the buttons there?"

"I know that. You're just pressing my buttons at the moment."

"Good."

She shook her head frustrated and decided it would be easier to deal with the television rather than the decepticon leader. Thus, she went to the TV and pressed a couple buttons. When the movie started playing, she returned to the couch and sat on the other end, away from Megatron.

"Thanks to you we have to watch the previews at the beginning now," Angelique remarked, "You could at least feel under your seat."

"Quit talking perverted."

Her eyes widened, "Get your CPU out of the gutter."

"Don't tell me what to do human."

She glared at him from the corner of her eye and decided to ignore him. When the previews ended, Megatron broke the silence and asked, "What is this movie?"

"War of the Worlds…Steven Spielberg directed it."

"I've never heard of him."

"You have now."

"Don't talk smart to me."

"Sorry."

"And why are you sitting over there at the other end of the couch?"

"Because it's a free country and I can," and then she added, "And if Wing-Saber walks in he won't suspect anything."

Megatron leered and moved next to her. Angelique sighed heavily, "You like to complicate things don't you?"

"You like it."

"I do not," she lied as she fought back a blush. She then leaned over him and was nearly sprawled out on his lap as she flipped the cushion up that he had been sitting on and found the remote. "What do you know…" she exclaimed as she grabbed the remote and then pressed the cushion back down. After she had done so, she leaned back over and against the arm of the couch, setting the remote between her and Megatron.

Unsure of how to bother her at the moment, the decepticon leader reluctantly turned his attention to the movie.


Optimus and Aurora arrived back down at the base and were walking down one of the many halls when the autobot leader said, "I'm going to go check on my men real quick just to make sure everything is in order."

"That's fine; I'll go locate my sister just to see if she's still in one piece."

"Alright, I'll come looking for you once I'm done."

"Sounds like a plan. I'll see you later Optimus."

He nodded, while giving her a wink, before he walked away. Aurora smiled and sighed, "What a hunk." Getting a hold of herself, she decided to try the hangout first since that was the usual spot to find Angelique when Megatron didn't have his hands on her. She walked there, and when she walked in, her eyes nearly bugged right out of her head. "Megatron and Angelique watching a movie together?!" she thought absolutely stunned, "That's something I thought I'd never see. Perhaps there is a little something going on between them that I didn't catch before."

And she cleared her throat before walking in causing them to look over at her. "Am I interrupting anything?" she asked with her arms crossed.

"Aurora! Where have you and Optimus been?" questioned Angelique.

"Well…" she trailed off before smiling.

Angelique's jaw dropped, "Oh…my…GOD! You did not have sex with him!"

Aurora gave her a look of death, "NO! Whatever gave you that idea?"

"Um…" she said but didn't finish her sentence. Instead she went on, "Well how was I supposed to know Optimus wasn't one of those guys that goes around and humps everything in his path?"

Megatron laughed and Aurora groaned, "I don't know how I've dealt with you all these years."

"Anyways…did you go on a date?"

"Yes we did."

Angelique looked her over, knowing that something had happened. "You're glowing…metaphorically speaking," her eyes then brightened when she put her finger on it; "You got your first kiss didn't you?"

Aurora's cheeks flushed.

"I knew it!" Angelique exclaimed.

"That's enough to make me purge the energon I had earlier…" said Megatron.

Angelique ignored him, "Does he kiss good?"

"I don't need the details!" Megatron hissed and then stated smugly, "And it wouldn't matter because I kiss better than him anyways."

"And how would you know?" wondered Angelique, "Unless you actually kissed him."

Megatron's optics went wide, "Never in the name of Primus have I ever kissed Optimus and I never will!"

"Amen to that," Angelique stated.

Aurora rolled her eyes, "How'd things go between you and Wing-Saber?"

"We kissed and made up without the kissing."

Aurora shook her head, "Where is he then?"

"Somewhere…somewhere over the rainbow."

"I'm sure—

"With Lucky eating Lucky Charms."

The older sister put a hand to her forehead and sighed, "I don't know you right now."

Angelique smiled and proceeded to pause the movie. Yawning she said, "But honestly…does Optimus kiss good?"

"Why do you care to know?"

"You can't blame curiosity!"

"Okay then yes he does."

Megatron shook his head, "I'm still better."

"Ah, prove it," Angelique remarked sarcastically.

"Alright flesh bag, come here."

"WHAT?! I wasn't being serious!" she pressed herself back into the couch as he moved closer to her, "Can't you tell a sarcastic tone when you mmh—

Angelique's heart nearly beat right out of her chest when Megatron's lips suddenly pressed against hers. Oh it was the best kiss she had received in her life, and she couldn't help herself as she kissed back.

Aurora had to shield her eyes as she watched the decepticon leader lay a fast one on her sister. "If Wing-Saber walks in Angelique is totally screwed…but then again she's getting something that she wanted for five years…even if Megatron is just proving something rather…pointless."

Seconds later though Megatron pulled away, wiping his mouth as he exclaimed, "Primus that has to be the most sickening thing I've ever done." And he got up and left the room without bothering to wait for Angelique to rate his kiss.

Not knowing what else to say, Aurora asked quietly, "You alright Angelique?"

She burst into tears.


It wasn't long before Optimus came by the hangout to get Aurora; he had come with Wing-Saber, and by the time they got there Aurora had managed to calm Angelique down. Optimus didn't bother to stay and chat as he proceeded to leave the hangout with Aurora. Wing-Saber sat down on the couch next to Angelique and she leaned against him. He wrapped an arm around her as he smiled and asked, "So, what'd you do all day?"

"Oh…not too much."

He chuckled, "Life is boring with out me around to entertain you huh?"

She faked a smile at his cocky statement, "…Yeah." And she yawned before saying, "I'm exhausted. The fine print in that book killed my eyes."

"Let's get you to bed then. Do you want to stay down here?"

"Why not?"

"Alright then I shall carry you to your room."

She shook her head, "You don't need to do that, I'm capable of walking."

"Oh but I insist!" he exclaimed as he stood up from the couch and lifted her in his arms.

Angelique didn't bother to protest as he carried her out of the hangout and down a series of hallways to her room. He set her on the bed and then sat down next to her before saying, "Are you sure you'll be alright here alone?"

"I'll be just fine."

"Okay then, if you need anything just holler."

"Will do," she replied smiling as she gave him a hug.

He hugged her back, grinning himself as he kissed the top of her head and said, "I'll be going then so that you can get some sleep. Until tomorrow my dear."

"Until then," she responded, "Night Wing-Saber."

"Same to you, Angelique," and he left the room.

Angelique sighed as she laid back on her bed. She wasn't tired from reading her book, but from crying…and she wasn't going to tell Wing-Saber that. Plenty had happened after he left her alone in the hangout, plenty between her and Megatron, but she wasn't about to tell the autobot that either. And most certainly she would not tell Wing-Saber about the kiss.

Because if he found out…she was as good as dead.


By the time Optimus and Aurora arrived at the autobot leader's quarters, they had both agreed that they were too tired to watch a movie and instead agreed to hold off until the next day to watch the movie. And to save Aurora the task of walking to her room, Optimus invited her to stay in his guest room again, which the girl agreed to do. Upon her agreement, the autobot leader lifted her in his arms and carried her into his quarters. He set her down inside his guest quarters but he didn't let her go. Holding her against him he whispered, "I wish you goodnight, Aurora."

"Same to you Optimus."

He smiled softly before he leaned down once again and gave her a soft kiss. "I'll see you in the morning," he remarked.

Aurora nodded and Optimus left her alone. The girl watched as the door closed and sighed heavily as she plopped down on the bed, "Today had to be the best day of my life."
