WARNING: HUGE FLUFF UP AHEAD! I REPEAT! FLUFF! RUN TO THE NEXT CHAPTER WHILE YOU STILL CAN! FLUFF BUNNIES ARE COMING!
*It has been tense and quiet at both bases since IDK007 has been in college for a few months. Optimus and Megatron have ordered that no one can visit her except when she calls or sick, but only Ratchet, Hook and Knockout are allowed to go. She has notified the bots and cons that she would be coming back after exams, but late at night and in a few weeks. The younger bots/cons were beginning to be restless that the older bots/cons kicked them out to recon, train or to get out of the base because they were tired of their moping. Now the younger bots and cons were waiting for IDK007's return while lying around the entrance and moping. *
Jazz: *le sigh* When's IDK007 coming home from college?
Bee: *beeps sadly*
Thundercracker: I know how you feel, Bee, but she'll be home in a few days.
Sideswipe: I miss her.
Sunstreaker: As much as I hate to admit it, she does come up with the best pranks for us and I miss my art buddy.
Smokescreen: Did she text anybody yet?
*all check internal messages and sigh loudly in disappointment except for Barricade who rolls his optics*
Blaster: Maybe we should call her? You know? To check on her.
Knockout: Can't. The connection out there is awful and we've used her minutes.
Blurr: Imissherandthere'snothingtodoherewithouther.
Breakdown: I haven't a clue what you said, but I am just going to say you're right.
Swindle: There's nothing fun to make bets on or any blackmail to trade. I can't get any dirt without her.
Arcee: I miss shopping days.
Flare-up: *nods* I miss those and when we go racing and kidnapping! Those were fun!
Skids: We haven't fought in forever and she ain't here to stop us.
Mudflap: Yeah, she always listens when we fight and fixes it before Hatchet and Hook yells at us.
Tracks: *le sigh* I miss that crazy sparkling.
Mirage: Has she given you a specific day that she would be coming back, Cade?
Barricade: *le sigh and controls anger* I told you before the holidays. She's got exams to finish then she has to drive back. She won't be back in two wee-
IDK007: *doors slammed open revealing authoress* BOOM BABY!
*Every bot/con looks at authoress in shock and jaw dropped except Tracks, Mirage and Barricade who look at her in surprise*
IDK007: Surprise bitches! Miss me?
Bot/Con: IDK007! You're back!
*Activated holograms and rush her then tackle her to the ground*
IDK007: Oof! Guys! You're crushing me! I have some things to tell you! Jazz, Blaster! New music! I found new books to read, too! And new obsessions, but I miss you guys! *Notices guardian standing idly on the side and walks up to him*
Barricade: *silent and away from the pile looks down at the authoress in front of him*
IDK007: …
Barricade: … *picks up authoress and walks out of room*
Sideswipe: Hey! Where you going?! We want to hangout with her too!
Sunstreaker: Let him go, bro.
Sideswipe: Why?
Knockout: He's her guardian. His protocols are probably relieved to see she's back. You should've seen him when she was gone for a week. He went all mother hen and demanded he go checked on her to see she if she was alive since she didn't call or answer.
*Everyone looks out KO incredulously*
Bee: Cade? Losing his cool?
Jazz: Actin' like a mother hen? No way.
KO: *nods* Yep. Literally all three of us had to put him in stasis to get him to calm down. I wonder what they're going to talk about. I just hope it doesn't end up in a fight.
***With authoress and Barricade walking to back to his quarters***
IDK007: …
Barricade: …
IDK007: … Cade?
BC: …
IDK007: I'm sorry I didn't call in as often. I know you were probably going mad without me. Ratchet did tell me the effects for guardians. I feel terrible; I really do. I know I should've at least updated my stories often. But I have been working on them! I haven't done anything dangerous nor have I done anything that would put my life at risk. I'm so sorry.
*Arrives in room and places her on human area for her to stand in and looks at her in silence with a neutral look*
IDK007: ... Can you say something?! Please! I know I'm a jerk! I don't listen and I am probably the worst charge ever! But... I did miss you… You don't have to keep me as a charge. We can talk to Ratchet or Hook to end the whole guardian thing and you can go back being-
BC: No.
IDK007: *looks up in surprise* what?
BC: *activates hologram and hugs her* I said no and you're wrong.
IDK007: *confused* what do you-
BC: You aren't the worst charge. You're the best charge. Yes, I did go 'mad' and probably went insane. I'm proud of what you've accomplished and the progress in stories you made. *le sigh* What I'm trying to say is I missed you and ...
*Let's go of authoress and has a genuine smile* Welcome home.
IDK007: *looks at him suspiciously* … who are and what have you done with Barricade? The Cade I know is not sappy nor is he a smiler.
BC: *smirks and grabs her in a noogie* Very funny, femme. You're still a brat even back from college. I thought that college changed humans?
IDK007: Yep, there he is. My bossy, anti-feelings, and mean guardian.
*Both laugh and outside can be heard yelling, transforming, and stomping*
IDK007: Ruh-roh!
BC: They're looking for you.
IDK007: Quick! To Starbucks!
BC: Huh?
IDK007: Don't question me! Let's go! I want my coffee!
BC: *le sigh* Alright, but only this one time.
*Grabs authoress and transforms then quickly escape rampaging Megatron and Optimus*
Megatron/Optimus: IDK007! Barricade! Get back here!
*Chase ensues*
