Chapter 20

Me: Hi guys, it's me again. I will like to thank you guys for the awesome reviews. I apologize for any bad grammar and/or spelling mistakes. I don't own transformers. Speaking of transformers, I'm currently playing hide and seek with the Cassette twins so I'll see you later. Bye. :)

Chapter 20

Emma's POV

I'm currently headed to the rec-room. Mirage took charge of the cassettes for a while. He was taking them to Ratchet for a check up. The reason I'm going to the rec-room is because I left one of Mia's Xbox 360 controllers there when I let Epps borrow it when Skids stepped on all of the controllers except one. That one was quickly claimed by Will, who hadn't relaxed in a while. Me being the good samaritan, told Epps he could borrow one of Mia's but if he broke it, he would buy a custom one since it was her Captain America custom wireless controller.

Anyways when I walked in, I noticed that the couch was occupied. What I saw made my nose crunch up in disgust. There, on the couch, were the twins, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, with one of the women soldiers between them. Sideswipe was using the standard controller while Sunstreaker flirted with the women while she played the game using MIA'S controller.

I watched them in disgust as they flirted with her. I know Mia has feelings for them, even thou she doesn't admit it. I know they have feelings for her. They should be with Mia, not this women. They just got her back and their waisting their time. God I hope Mia doesn't see this.

...

Oh, shit. Me and my big mouth. Just as I said that, Mia walks in thru the other door across the room. She stopped at the door and stared at them. From the corner of my eye, I see that she catches the attention of the ones on the couch. I stand there, not knowing what to do. I flinch when she starts walking towards them. I get ready to run to her aid, knowing she could easily take care of herself. What she did next surprised me.

"Hey, there you are. I just came to apologize to you for scolding you... Woh I didn't see you there. My name is Mia , these idiots charge. Anyways I got to run, tell me if these idiots screw up and I'll have Hide beat them up for you. Bye" Mia said to the women as she walked out the door.

I stood there shocked. I could tell I wasn't the only one. The twins were staring at the door as if it was talking to them. The women stared at them in confusion. I couldn't blame her. She probably didn't know what was going on.

I took the chance and speed walked to the couch, plucked the controller out of her hands and walked back to my room without looking back. I left my room open incase I saw Mia walk into her room. I know she needed her space and wouldn't be happy if someone approached her. Unless she approached someone first so instead of looking for her, I waited for her to come to me. Knowing she would be broken hearted.

Mia's POV

I walked out of the room as quickly as I could without causing a seen. I was surprise I didn't. I felt so mad and betrayed. I thought they felt something for me. I guess it was kind of my fault for not telling them I had feelings for them and for not showing it. Being separated from them for so long, in my case it felt long even though it was only about a week, made me realize my feelings for then. I wanted to go and vent to Emma but it would mean going back the direction I came from and risking seeing them. I could go and see Optimus but he is in a meeting. My options where limited. Until the light bulb on my head turned on. There was Jazz. I didn't know where he was but his office was close.

I walked up to his door and knocked. No one answered. So I knocked a few more times until the door across the hall opened.

"He is currently not available. He just left. Did you need something?" Prowl said as he stood looking down at me from his door.

"Sorry if I disturbed you. I was just looking for someone to vent on." I responded, rubbing the back of my head.

"Vent?" Prowl asked confused.

"It means having someone listens to ones personal problems and give them advice. I wanted to talk to Optimus but he's in a meeting and from the looks of it every other bot is busy." I responded.

"I see. What about you guardians? Or your friend, Emma?" He asked.

"Last time I checked they were in the rec-room flirting with a soldier. And I don't want to head that direction right now. " I said with anger in my voice when I talked about the twins.

Prowl stared at me for a while. His optics dimmed, signaling he was speaking to someone thru his com-link.

"Well it will be a while until Jazz returns but if you like, I will listen to you vent." Prowl said.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to bother you." I asked.

"It's all right. I was just looking at some last reports. I have some time before I have to get back to work." Prowl said as he kneeled down to pick me up.

"Thank you Prowl." I said as we walked in.

He put me on the desk, just like Optimus did and sat down, pushed the data pads aside and gave me his full attention.

"I have turned off my com-link. Only emergency calls can go thru. Any time your ready." He said.

I stared at him. I didn't known if I should tell him. I didn't want to make him glitch. I guess I should tell him what a charge would feel at this point.

"Well you see, ever since I returned I felt something missing. I guess I miss spending time with my guardians. But now, I think they have grown interested in one of the feminine soldiers that now they don't have time for me. I guess I feel like a thorn in their skin, which is a figure of speech for bother." I said.

"Did you fall in love with them?" Prowl asked, which surprised me.

"I think it was more of a crush. But how did you know? I didn't want to tell you straight foward because I was afraid to make you glitch?" I asked confused.

"I grew accustomed to it when Mirage declared that he fell in love with Emma. I did glitch a few times but I think I have gone past that." He informed me.

"Oh. Well what kind of advice would you offer a broken heart?" I asked trying not to burst into tears.

"First thing first. Ah will like to be your new guardian until they get their act straight. And if they don't, you still got me and Prowler. Right Prowler?" Jazz said as he walked into the room.

"My name is Prowl not Prowler and yes I have to agree a new guardian would have to be put for you. They should be with you since you kidnapping. They should be making sure you are ok and in good health. I had Jazz listen in since you first started talking. Is that ok?" Prowl asked looking annoyed at Jazz.

"That's fine with me. I don't know what I would do with out you two. I guess you are compassionate under that mask of seriousness. And I will like to go thru with your opinion. I would make it easy being with someone new and that would listen. I know I have Emma but I don't want to get in between her training and Mirage. I wouldn't want to be hovering. I also know Ratchet wouldn't let me train unless he gives me the ok." I said to them.

"Very well. I will call everyone in for the announcement." Prowl said as he picked up a data pad.

"Do you have to?" I asked, hoping he said no.

"Unfortunately, yes. It's standard protocol. I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. Incase something happens, the rest of the Autobots will need to know who to call if they have you under their care." Prowl said typing into the data pad.

"Also its tradition. Last time we did this was when Bumblebee was a youngling and he was getting put under Ironhide's charge since he didn't like the current one he had. So don't worry. I'll be there." Jazz said as he winked with his visor.

"Thanks, Jazz." I thanked him.

"We should get going. Optimus said that both Major Lennox and himself have approved of the new changes and Ratchet is demanding why he's the only one at the hanger. Prime also mentioned about the cassettes stay. That too will have to be announced. " Prowl said as he walked to the door.

Prowl waited for Jazz to pick me up and together we made our way to the hanger.

Once we arrived, all the bots and cassettes were waiting for us except Optimus since he was still in meeting. Jazz set me down next to the cassettes on the cat walk. Emma then showed up running up the stairs.

"What's this about?" She asked me as she took her place next to us.

"It wasn't us." Rumble said raising his arms in defeat.

"Its ok. I know you guys didn't do anything. This is about me." I said as Lazerbeak perched on my shoulder.

"What happened?" Emma asked me with concerned.

"You'll see. Prowl has some announcements." I responded just as Prowl began to speak.

"There are two matters we must discuss today. It's both a protocol and a tradition from what Jazz informs me. First is that we have new resident Cybertronians, the Cassettes. They were once Decepticons but now they seek refuge with us. Optimus has given them a chance and has given them a guardian. She may not be a Cybertronian but she has proven to have both determination and responsibility of a guardian. So Optimus has chosen Mia as their guardian." Prowl said and was going to continue but was interrupted.

"Mia can't take care of those cons! As her guardians, we don't approve of it!" Sideswipe said in anger.

"That is another matter we need to discus. From now on, Mia will be removed as your charge. Jazz will see to her as his charge. That is all." Prowl said and made his way back to his office.

Everyone was confused. Everyone starred in surprise at the twins then at me. The twins started at me in shock. I simply looked away.

"What just happened?!" Emma whispered-yelled at me in confusion.

"I'll tell you back at the room. Jazz, I'll be taking the Cassettes back to my room so they can rest. You are welcome to join us." I said.

"Sure thing. Ah did just finish my shift." Jazz said as he offered us his servo.

Emma and I quickly got on while the Cassettes, except Lazerbeak who was still perched on my shoulders now asleep, got on a little slower not sure if it was safe. I held on to them to reassured them it was safe then we were of.

"Will Mirage be joining us?" I asked Emma.

"No. He has his shift now. I think it was patrol today. After that we'll be going to the training room to train a little. I wish you could come and train with us. It would help you get back into fighting shape but I think Ratchet will get mad and strap you down until you fully heal. You can come watch and give me pointers." Emma asked.

"That's alright. I think I'll stay and rest with the cassettes. From what you've told me, they haven't rested that much and as their guardian I must take care of them or Ratchet will throw his newspaper at me." I joked.

"Oh, yeah, the newspaper. God I wonder who gave his that idea." Emma said as she wondered.

"Here we are." Jazz said as he carefully put us on the floor.

We walked into my room. The Cassettes race to get a spot on the bed and immediately fell into recharge. I smiled at them and carefully set Lazerbeak on the pillow. I quietly made my way out the door and walked across the hallway but not after closing the door.

"So what happened?" Emma asked as I sat next to Jazz's holoform.

"Well..." I said and proceeded to tell her what happened after I left the rec-room.

Me: Yay another chapter finished. I sorry if I'm going a little too fast. See ya guys next time :)
