After the beautiful ceremony, S4 was excited. She was now officially married to the Prince. She was happy that while her life may have started out on the wrong end of things, she kept believing that something better was out there. That Primus had bigger and better plans for her and he did. Now she was a princess, and seemed to be loved and welcomed by almost all the people.

She headed to the Prince's private quarters, knowing they were now considered hers too. She knew he was waiting there as he had told her that there was one part of the ceremony that would have to be done in private, just the two of them. She quickly ran to the room, excited to see what was next.

She entered in, and found Prince Slugbug inside. "Hi, hon" she said softly.

Slugbug smiled, "hello, my beautiful love. I know you must be a little confused as well as excited about why we couldn't finish everything at the ceremony in front of everyone" Bug stated.

S4 nodded. "You said it was a special moment."

"Yes, you see, in the eyes of the humans, we are married, but in the optics of bots, we have not completed the last step. We will complete that here, where my spark will bond to your 'heart', so to speak. This is a dangerous connection, as it has not worked many times in the past, however, I believe that we will be able to do this last step."

"We will? Safely?" S4 asked.

"Yes, because I am a portal for Primus, and it is his power that will unite us like two bots bond – a spark bond, though since you are human, this won't be called a spark bond, but a heart bond" Bug explained.

"I am ready when you are, my love" S4 stated, waiting for the next step, eager to see what awaited her.

Bug nodded and began the private part of the ceremony, calling his own spark to come forth. S4 had seen other bot's sparks, and they were all blue or gold, depending. This white spark was different and she assumed that this would be why they could safely connect this way. Bug was speaking in an ancient language, unknown to most bots and humans, calling forth the power of Primus to safely unite S4 and Primce Slugbug. S4 felt a tug in her chest. It scared her a bit, but she trusted Primus and Bug that all would go well.

Primus appeared as an orb, reaching out to grab one spark and one "heart" and uniting the two safely. S4 felt a new sense inside of her, as if Bug was always with her. She smiled. Bug felt the connection to S4, almost as if S4 was bot instead of human. Bug smiled. The ceremony complete, Primus left, leaving the heartbonded pair alone with each other.

"Wow…" S4 muttered, still reeling.

"I know that was intense, but we are now heartbonded and married, so to both bot and human, we are a united couple" Bug said with a smile.

"I hope we can have kids, as I have always wanted some" S4 stated.

"Only Primus knows the answer to that, and he isn't telling me anything right now" Bug stated.

S4 smiled, but then remembered the family who had owned her and her brother. "Bug, what will become of them?"

"Who"

"Lord Stormburg and his family?"

"Well, he and his wife are going to be debt slaves to a bot in another castle. We haven't decided on the four children yet."

"Well, I don't know about Felicity, but I think her brothers were good and deserve a good home" S4 stated.

"Then we will see to that. I will still have to think about Felicity" Bug Stated.

"Don't let her do anything in the palace unless it is as a maid" S4 stated, "as she will try to take you from me."

"Oh, if she goes to a castle, it will be to another Lord who needs more young female slaves for various reasons, though eh treats them well, with strict discipline." S4 nodded, that sounded good. She was happy, he was happy and all was happy ever after.
