Just a little warning. I'm very excited and my writing always sucks when I'm excited. Just so you know…
It was a beautiful afternoon in the small town of Jasper, Nevada. The sun moved away from the central midday position and slowly began to move for the horizon. But it did not stop the boys from working.
Optimus supervised and helped out on occasion as Jack, Raf, Ratchet, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Agent Fowler all constructed the arch, unfolded the chairs and unrolled the carpet across the cliff. A pile of rocks stood at the end behind where the arch is being constructed. It was the memorial the Autobots had created for Cliffjumper when the Decepticons murdered him that day months ago. Optimus understood how close Arcee was to Cliffjumper. Like her and Tailgate, they were siblings-in-arms. Actually, she considered both Tailgate and Cliffjumper her actual brothers before both of them were slaughtered. And he knew that they would want to be there when Arcee would marry her soul mate. So he placed Tailgate's lucky charm on Cliffjumper's grave so both of their essences can be felt.
"How do you feel?" Jack asked.
"A little nervous," Optimus confessed, "But I feel like I shouldn't be."
"It's understandable. What you're doing is very bold and rare, Optimus. Proposing to Arcee then having the girls whisk her away so they could get ready for the wedding. Not many guys on Earth have the guts to do that," Jack remarked.
Optimus just smiled and continued his work. Within moments, the cliff was transformed into the suitable setting for a romantic Cliffside wedding by the sunset. The arch was made of white wood with a rainbow of flowers and gold ribbons wrapped around it. The white carpet led a path from the back row of the chairs to just meters away from the arch where gorgeous steps stood proud. Red, white and pink rose petals were sprinkled all along the aisle. Thankfully for them, the breeze was gentle so the petals wouldn't glide away in the wind.
Optimus dusted the little specs of desert sand off of his dress pants. He was wearing beige dress pants and a white button-up shirt with white dress shoes. He did have his tuxedo with him. But he wasn't going to change into the tuxedo until he proposed to Arcee and she said yes before going off to get ready. Subconsciously, he checked his back pocket to see if the velvet box was still inside.
Hours later, Arcee arrived. The others had disappeared, of course, to get changed. She was wearing a dark royal blue strapless dress that stopped just above her knees with a black sash tied around the waist with blue ¾-inch heels. Her blonde hair blew in the wind in soft straight locks.
Optimus slowly walked up the aisle to meet her. When they met halfway, he grabbed her hands. It was now or never, he thought. But little did he know that the boys hadn't gone off to get changed into their tuxedos like he thought they would. Instead, they hid in random occasions, hoping to witness the proposal. Gulping quietly, Optimus took out the box and placed it in Arcee's hand. Carefully, she untied the delicate white ribbon he had tied around the box and gently lifted the lid. She gasped at the sight.
It was the most beautiful engagement ring she had laid eyes upon. Normally, when she found herself looking at rings while taking Miko and Talida shopping, the rings were dull and didn't mean a thing. But the ring Optimus had picked was perfect. With ¾ of the ring being gold and ¼ of the ring being gleaming silver. Two hearts met at the center of the band. One heart being gold and full-shaped. The other heart being silver and only having approximately ¾ of a heart. At the top point of the hearts pointing towards the bottom points was a diamond each. Three more diamonds surrounded the two conjoined hearts on each side. (AN: My description definitely does NOT do this ring justice. Link's in the profile. Same with their wedding bands. Right now, excuse me while I go off somewhere to scream my head off. EEEEEEEEEEEEP!)
Arcee felt like her breath had been taken away, as the classic cliché goes. She drew her eyes away from the glowing ring to gaze into Optimus' regal optics. However, he wasn't standing. He was kneeling on one knee with her wedding hand in his own hand, his eyes staring deeply into hers with love radiating.
"Arcee, I remember the day you were born. It was the best day of my life. You were the first sparkling I blessed when I became Optimus Prime and left Orion Pax behind. The minute I held you in my arms, I knew you were the one for me. Your happiness was my happiness. Your pain was my pain. Your fights were my fights. I was overjoyed when I heard you were coming to Earth with me to be my second-in-command. You were the one I could always go to for advise. I always trusted you to guide me down the right path towards making the right choice. And then Talida came along and you immediately took to raising her like she was your own. I love you deeply, Arcee. Words cannot describe my love for you. However, there is the saying that actions speak louder than words here on Earth. So what I am about to ask you is this. Arcee, will you marry me?" Optimus asked as he removed the ring from the box and slid the ring onto her finger.
"Yes," Arcee sobbed.
Optimus' happiness was a kind of happiness that couldn't be described in words. He stood and delicately wiped Arcee's tears before kissing her passionately. Everyone (except the guests, because they're not there yet) clapped and cheered as they kissed. Blushing slightly, Optimus and Arcee pulled away, gazing lovingly at one another.
"Well come on. Let's go. You guys can kiss after," Talida declared as she grabbed Arcee's hand.
"Whoa whoa whoa. What's going on?" Arcee wanted to know.
"Surprise! I'm marrying you guys now!" Talida announced, surprising Arcee, "Dad knew that when he proposed, he wouldn't be able to wait to marry you. Which lead to us thinking and then planning the wedding right then and there. Don't worry. All the girls were there to make it the most romantic wedding ever. What's more romantic than this? A beautiful cliff overlooking the desert. Sunset. Essence of Cliffjumper and Tailgate here as well as Shanahan's wreath."
"Someone's a romantic," Arcee teased affectionately.
"Just get a move on, femme," Optimus ordered jokingly.
The girls giggled excitedly and gushed over the engagement ring as they walked to the tent. The boys just rolled their eyes randomly and laughed as they went to their own tent to get changed. Guests began to arrive, as the sun was closer to setting. The majority of them were fellow servicemen and Fowler's family since they're in on the secret. In fact, Fowler's wife and two daughters are some of Arcee's bridesmaids with June being a bridesmaid as well and Miko being the maid of honor. For Optimus, he had Jack as his best man with Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Agent Fowler as his groomsmen. Raf was the ring-bearer and Ratchet was going to walk Arcee down the aisle on behalf of her father. Talida, obviously, is going to officiate the ceremony for Optimus and Arcee.
After lots of giggling and gossiping over random topics, the girls had their hair and make-up all done. They all wore dressing gowns since they were in their underwear. The girls were searching for the important articles of clothing for a wedding:
The dresses.
"Where are the dresses?" Talida immediately asked.
"Hi, guys!" Jazz Prime the new Prime, Rachelle Prime and I greeted happily as we popped into the tent carrying their dresses.
We all cleaned up nicely for the wedding. We all made sure we cleaned up nice. This is a special occasion. And we wanted to look nice to suit the wedding!
Jazz wore a green glitter dress with white high heels and her hair was slightly curled and flowed in elegant waves. Her make-up was natural and highlighted her natural beauty.
I was wearing a blue dress which was dark blue at the top with a ribbon tied at the front and a light blue see-through material with a dark blue floral pattern attached to a light blue petticoat and white ballet flats. My hair was straightened and the ends reached my collarbone. Like Jazz, my makeup was natural and my black and white glasses sat on my nose.
Rachelle Prime was another belle of the ball with a purple strapless dress and white high heels. Her makeup was natural like Jazz and I do and her hair was straightened. (AN: Rachelle, I'm sorry if that wasn't the dress you wanted. But I couldn't get the link you sent me to work and you didn't email me the link. Am I forgiven?)
"What are you guys doing here?" Arcee asked excitedly as she hugged all three of us.
"Well, this is going to be a big part of the story and we didn't want to miss it. So we decided to come. Angel of all Decepticons and Kris came along as well. In fact, they're going to be DJs for the party tonight and Jazz here baked a cake," I boasted.
"Ice, we haven't seen you since we busted those Decepticons in Australia. How's everything been?" Talida asked.
"Oh you know, this and that. Usual stuff," I shrugged.
"What about you, Jazz? Rachelle?" Talida questioned.
"Same as Ice," both girls chorused.
"Well, come on. I want to snap a few photos of you guys together before Talida has to go and calm Optimus' nerves," I giggled.
Within moments, all of the girls were dressed. Arcee took everyone's breath away. We all know her as a tough warrior not afraid to take any risk to save fellow Cybertronians and everything and everyone she loves. And now, she stands before us. Looking like a princess. About to take the biggest risk of all. Jazz, Rachelle and I looked at each other and smiled before whipping out our cameras. We all posed for photos. Formal. Happy. Silly. You name it. We did it.
Then Jazz, Rachelle, Talida and I had to go and Ratchet came in. Smiling. When he saw Arcee, he just about burst into tears. He was definitely playing the role of the father. Crying when his baby girl is about to walk down the aisle to the man she loves. It is a deeply beautiful moment.
"Wow," Ratchet breathed.
"What? You've seen me in a dress," Arcee reminded him.
"Not like this," Ratchet retorted, "Arcee, you look beautiful."
"It's time," Raf announced as he appeared.
"Let's do this thing," Arcee sighed as they all lined up.
At the end of the aisle waiting was Optimus with Talida standing at the center. Standing by Optimus' side was Jack, being the loyal best man. Next to him was Bumblebee, then Bulkhead, then Wheeljack and finally, Special Agent William Fowler. Us authors occupied the front row on the side of the bridal party. Rachelle sat on the end with me sitting next to her then Kris, Angel and Jazz. Behind us sat many agents Fowler has worked with and servicemen that were in on the secret.
Everyone turned as the bridal party began walking down the aisle. But few cared. The first was Raf with a pillow where the wedding bands rested comfortably. Behind him came Miko, the maid of honor with her bouquet that consisted of blue hydrangeas, delphiniums and white calla lilies. Following Miko was June, then Nina, then Kora and finally, Laura. Talida smiled to her dad as the piano began playing a soft tune. The audience stood and turned as Arcee and Ratchet appeared.
Optimus felt his breath hitch in his throat. He knew that Arcee was beautiful. There was no denying that Arcee Baldwin was a beautiful female. (AN: Random surname!) But seeing her with the hair, the make-up, the veil, the flowers, the dress and being walked down the aisle by Ratchet, just took his breath away. Arcee is absolutely gorgeous. No words could adequately describe her beauty.
As Ratchet guided Arcee down the aisle, Arcee's eyes never left Optimus'. Everyone smiled and whispered comments of how she was gorgeous to one another and how she must have inherited her good looks from her mother. Talida glanced at the facial expressions between Arcee and Optimus and smiled. There was no denying that they completed one another. That they are meant to be. Fate had guided them down the path towards this day.
When they reached the end of the aisle, Ratchet removed Arcee's face veil and kissed her cheek before delicately placing her hand into Optimus' larger hand. Crying, Ratchet sat down next to Jazz. Rachelle reached across and passed him a handkerchief, which he took gratefully. Talida made the motion for everyone to be seated, which they did. Arcee handed Miko her bouquet and joined hands with Optimus. (AN: I'm just gonna use a script I found. I know. I suck. But I've added some of my own things here and there. LEGGO! Now I'm gonna cry… *sniffles*)
"Ladies and Gentlemen, today, we have gathered together to celebrate the marriage of Optimus Prime and Arcee Baldwin. Marriage is the promise between two people who love each other, who trust that love, who honor one another as individuals in that togetherness, and who wish to spend the rest of their lives together. It enables the two separate souls to share their desires, longings, dreams, destinies and memories, their joys and sorrows, and to help each other through all uncertainties of life.
'Marriage has certain qualities of a contract, in which two people take on the housekeeping tasks of living together, to enhance life's joy.
However, marriage is more than a contract. Marriage is commitment to take that joy deep, deeper than happiness, deep into the discovery of who you most truly are. It is a commitment to a spiritual journey, to a life of becoming – in which joy can comprehend despair, running through rivers of pain into joy again.
And thus marriage is even deeper than commitment. It is a covenant – a covenant that says: I love you. I trust you. I will be here for you when you are hurting, and when I am hurting, I will not leave.
It is a covenant intended not to provide haven from pain or from anger and sorrow. Life offers no such haven. Instead, marriage is intended to provide a sanctuary safe enough to risk loving, to risk living and sharing from the center of oneself. This is worth everything.' ~Margaret A. Keip," Talida recited.
Behind her, the sunset provided a soft glow on the settings before us. Jazz was trying her best not to cry at the sight of the romantic event unfolding before us. However, some tears managed to fall and she had to hide her head in Angel's shoulder. Optimus and Arcee never strayed from each other's eyes. They still paid attention to what Talida was saying. But they never left each other's gaze. They mouthed 'I love you' to one another as one of the big moments came.
"Optimus, will you take Arcee to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and respect her and forsaking all others to be faithful to her until death do you part?" Talida asked.
"I do," Optimus answered without hesitation, his baritone voice rumbling into the night air as he watched Arcee's soft tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Arcee, will you take Optimus to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and respect him and forsaking all overs to be faithful to him until death do you part?" Talida questioned.
"I do," Arcee whispered tearfully.
"Here comes the vows," I whispered to everyone excitedly.
"I know," Jazz sniffled as the tears really came down.
"Oh boy," Angel grumbled as he handed Jazz his handkerchief.
"Thanks, Kris," I whispered as I gratefully accepted his handkerchief and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Optimus, repeat after me," Talida requested kindly, "I, Optimus."
"I, Optimus," Optimus mumbled.
"Take you, Arcee," Talida continued.
"Take you, Arcee," Optimus recited.
"To be my wife and my better," Talida went on.
"To be my wife and my better," Optimus repeated.
"I will take care," Talida read.
"I will take care," Optimus said.
"And cherish our relationship," Talida continued.
"And cherish our relationship," Optimus mumbled.
"And love you today, tomorrow and forever," Talida went on.
"And love you today, tomorrow and forever," Optimus whispered as he wiped her tears.
"I will always be open, honest and faithful to you," Talida read.
"I will always be open, honest and faithful to you," Optimus promised.
"I take you for my wife," Talida continued.
"I take you for my wife," Optimus declared.
"To have and to hold from this day on," Talida went on.
"To have and to hold from this day on," Optimus repeated.
"For better, for worse," Talida read.
"For better, for worse," Optimus recited.
"For richer, for poorer," Talida continued.
"For richer, for poorer," Optimus nodded.
"In sickness and in health," Talida went on.
"In sickness and in health," Optimus reassured.
"To love and to cherish," Talida continued reading.
"To love and to cherish," Optimus murmured lovingly.
"For all the days in my life," Talida went on.
"For all the days of my life," Optimus smiled.
"And until my last breath," Talida finished.
"And until my last breath," Optimus swore.
Ratchet sniffled even more as he dabbed his eyes, trying to cover his trail of tears. But we all knew better. Just like we knew we would never let him hear the end of this. Among other hilarious events that are still to occur that will be embarrassing on Ratchet's behalf.
"And for all eternity!" I coughed not so discretely, causing everyone to laugh slightly and stare at me as if I was a crazy person, "What? You know it's true!"
"Arcee, repeat after me," Talida instructed, "I, Arcee."
"I, Arcee," Arcee recited.
"Take you, Optimus," Talida read.
"Take you, Optimus," Arcee repeated.
"To be my husband and my better," Talida continued.
"To be my husband and my better," Arcee nodded.
"I will take care," Talida went on.
"I will take care," Arcee whispered.
"And cherish our relationship," Talida spoke.
"And cherish our relationship," Arcee nodded.
"And love you today, tomorrow and forever," Talida read.
"I will always be open, honest and faithful to you," Talida continued.
"I will always be open, honest and faithful to you," Arcee promised.
"I take you for my husband," Talida went on.
"I take you for my husband," Arcee declared.
"To have and to hold from this day on," Talida spoke.
"To have and to hold from this day on," Arcee murmured.
"For better, for worse," Talida continued reading.
"For better, for worse," Arcee mumbled.
"For richer, for poorer," Talida went on.
"For richer, for poorer," Arcee nodded.
"In sickness and in health," Talida smiled.
"In sickness and in health," Arcee recited.
"To love and to cherish," Talida read happily.
"To love and to cherish," Arcee murmured lovingly.
"For all the days of my life," Talida continued.
"For all the days of my life," Arcee declared.
"And until my last breath," Talida finished.
"And until my last breath," Arcee swore.
"May we have the rings please?" Talida requested kindly.
Immediately, Raf walked forward with the pillow carrying the rings in his hands. He stood on his toes and held the pillow up within Optimus' reach. Optimus knelt down slightly and gently picked up Arcee's wedding band with his thumb and forefinger. With his free hand, he took Arcee's wedding hand into his gentle grasp. Her engagement ring shone brightly under the light of the setting sun. Jazz and I smiled and tried to contain our sniffles and happy sobs as the bond slowly became official. But it's not as easy as it looks.
"Optimus, repeat after me. This ring, which has no beginning and no end," Talida started.
"This ring, which has no beginning and no end," Optimus repeated as he slid the ring onto her finger above the engagement ring.
"Symbolizes the love and trust between us that will never cease," Talida read.
"Symbolizes the love and trust between us that will never cease," Optimus recited.
"May its presence on your hand," Talida continued.
"May its presence on your hand," Optimus smiled.
"Remind you of my love and vow," Talida went on.
"Remind you of my love and vow," Optimus nodded.
"I place it on your finger," Talida spoke.
"I place it on your finger," Optimus mumbled.
"As a visible sign of the promises," Talida continued reading.
"As a visible sign of the promises," Optimus beamed.
"Which have made us husband and wife," Talida finished.
"Which have made us husband and wife," Optimus murmured lovingly.
Fresh tears of joy streamed down Arcee's face. Tears streamed down everyone's faces. Everyone was crying tears of joy…except Optimus because even crying wouldn't be able to express his joy. Well…that and Prime's are hardwired to NOT cry unless for certain occasions (like Talida nearly killing herself two years ago). Carefully, Arcee knelt down and gently picked up Optimus' wedding band from the pillow Raf was holding up with her thumb and forefinger. She held Optimus' wedding hand in her own, ready to slide the wedding band onto his finger.
"Arcee, repeat after me. This ring, which has no beginning and no end," Talida started.
"This ring, which has no beginning and no end," Arcee repeated as she slid the ring on his finger.
"Symbolizes the love and trust between us that will never cease," Talida read.
"Symbolizes the love and trust between us that will never cease," Arcee recited.
"May its presence on your hand," Talida continued.
"May its presence on your hand," Arcee murmured.
"Remind you of my love and vow," Talida went on.
"Remind you of my love and vow," Arcee smiled.
"I place it on your finger," Talida spoke.
"I place it on your finger," Arcee nodded.
"As a visible sign of the promises," Talida continued reading.
"As a visible sign of the promises," Arcee breathed.
"Which have made us husband and wife," Talida finished happily.
"Which have made us husband and wife," Arcee whispered lovingly.
'Until now, Optimus and Arcee have spent each moment of their lives as separate individuals. But from this day on, and every day after their each moment shall be shared and spent as one. By the power enthroned in me by the wisdom of the Primes and the High Council of Cybertron, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," Talida declared.
Optimus didn't need to be told twice. He did something that was…un-Prime like of him. He pulled Arcee flush to his chest before dipping her in a tango bow. He kissed her with passion that was hot enough to ignite every volcano on the planet. And beyond. Everyone stood up, clapping and cheering at the sight. Ratchet, Jazz and I continued to wipe our tears. It had finally happened. Optimus and Arcee were finally married.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Prime!" Talida proclaimed.
Everyone cheered and threw flower petals as Arcee reclaimed her bouquet and walked back up the aisle with Optimus, her new husband. Jack and Miko followed with June and Bumblebee behind them, then Nina and Bulkhead, then Kora and Wheeljack and finally, Laura and Fowler. Talida and Raf followed Laura and Fowler as the guest all followed behind us. The entire crowd came together on the dance floor, all rejoicing that two soul mates had finally made it official. However, they still have one more step to go until they are officially bonded. Sure. They are bonded physically and mentally. But they need to bond spiritually and emotionally.
"OK, everyone! Please help yourself to the food and drinks…except for the cake. Optimus and Arcee have important business to take care of before the party starts. So please be patient," I begged.
Giggling, Optimus and Arcee ran back to their respective forms hand in hand. When they reached the truck, they stopped and gazed into each other's eyes. Optimus had always found his bride's optics to be sensually alluring. Especially with the tempting lavender circles swimming in the sea of soft sky blue. Much like the eyes of his daughter. Inheriting his regal blue eyes with the soft amethyst circles from her mother's rare amethyst eyes. Optimus also loved how whenever he and Arcee devoted themselves to each other, her eyes turned intensely white. He calls them 'Angel Eyes' because of them being as white and bright as an angel.
"I love you," he whispered into the night air.
"I love you too," she murmured back.
Within moments the holoforms fizzled into balls of electricity. But they would return. Immediately, the bike and the truck transformed into their bipedal forms. Arcee walked closer and he scooped her into his arms, pulling her chassis against his. Her legs wrapped around his torso under his chassis as far as they would go, considering that Optimus was a much larger bot than she is. But she didn't care. She loved Optimus the way he is. In fact, it wouldn't have mattered if he wasn't Optimus Prime. They still would have been soul mates in the first place. She still would've married him without a moment's hesitation. Even if he was just the humble data clerk in the Hall of Records known as Orion Pax who looked up to Megatron like a brother and a mentor.
"Are you ready?" Optimus asked worriedly.
Arcee suddenly felt as if her throat had gone dry. She couldn't form any words. So she just nodded and opened her chest, revealing her glowing blue spark. The sight of his beloved's beautiful loving spark enchanted Optimus Prime deeply. Arcee had completely given herself to him. Her love. Her soul. Her body. Her life. Everything. But there was still one more thing that they had to do to fully bond. And both of them knew what it was. So Optimus opened his own chest. Revealing a spark much larger than Arcee's. Not large enough to unintentionally hurt her. But large nonetheless.
Optimus hugged Arcee tighter as their spark energies reached for each another. Their bodies were begging them to finally bond their sparks once and for all. They had waited too long. Denied each other's desperate needs for too long. All would be right. Everyone knew that all would be right again if they spark-bond.
"I love you," they murmured.
This was it. Their chest collided. Their sparks collided. Their lips collided. Fireworks went off inside of them, between them and all around them. Exploding lights ignited the night sky, drawing out attention from the party. It was amazing. The sight was beautiful. Lilacs. Blues. All kinds of hypnotic colors lit the sky. Gasps travelled around the dance floor as the sky lit up as if there were a thousand supernovas happening around them all at once.
Slowly, Arcee and Optimus broke the kiss as the fireworks gently died down. They had done it. They finally satisfied the desperate wanting in their sparks. They are bonded in more ways than one. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Spiritually. And they felt intense happiness about the joining finally happening.
"Come on. Let's go back," Arcee giggled before giving him a lustful kiss.
"I don't they'll miss us that much," Optimus mumbled as he licked and nipped at a sensitive cable on her neck, an action that always turned her on.
"Talida will…come…looking for…us," Arcee struggled to say between moans as his hands travelled further south.
"Fine," Optimus pouted, "You temptress."
"Later," was all Arcee said as she climbed down and transformed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, sharing their first dance as husband and wife, Mr. And Mrs. Optimus Prime!" Angel of all Decepticons declared as Optimus and Arcee returned in their holoforms.
Optimus and Arcee took their positions on the dance floor as the piano began to play. Gently, they swayed to the soft beat of the music that was their song. Initially, Talida thought about using Angels by Robbie Williams, but decided that A Thousand Years by Christina Perri suited them more since they loved each other for what feels like a thousand years and would love each other for a thousand more. It describes their feelings for one another and so much more. It strengthened their connection, which was already going strong and still continued to grow everyday. Physically. Emotionally. Mentally. Spiritually.
It just describes them in ways that even Optimus and Arcee can't understand.
Talida: Heart beats fast.
Colors and promises.
How to be brave.
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer…
I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more…
"You're still crying?" I asked Jazz in disbelief as I heard her sniffle.
"So are you!" Jazz retorted as she dabbed her eyes.
"True," I mumbled as I blew my nose and finding a way to clean Kris' handkerchief, "The wedding is so beautiful."
"And it's not even over," Jazz reminded me.
"I know," I agreed as we turned back to the couple sharing their first dance.
Talida: Time stands still.
Beauty in all she is.
I will be brave.
I will not let anything take away,
What's standing in front of me.
Every breath.
Every hour has come to this.
One step closer…
I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more…
And all along, I believed I would find you.
Time has brought your heart to me.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more…
"Ratchet, are you OK?" Rachelle asked worriedly.
"Yep," Ratchet scoffed, though he continued crying, "Don't say a word about this."
"Aw, Ratchet, you and I both know that we can't promise that. Especially with the plans Ice has," Rachelle retorted.
"Oh scrap," Ratchet grumbled.
"Yep," she nodded eagerly.
Talida: One step closer…
One step closer…
I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more…
And all along, I believed I would find you.
Time has brought your heart to me.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more…
Everyone clapped and cheered as Optimus gently cupped Arcee's face into his hands and kissed her tenderly. Talida smiled and handed the microphone to Jack, who muttered to her something along the lines of, 'You owe me for this.' Talida just rolled her eyes and punched him in the arm with an affectionate smile.
"Come on, everyone. It's time for the father/daughter dance!" I proclaimed.
"May I have this dance?" Ratchet asked in a gentleman manner.
"Of course you may," Arcee nodded as he allowed him to lead her to the dance floor.
"And just a heads up. This is also a dedication to my girlfriend, Miko. I love you, baby," Jack spoke.
"Love you too, babe!" Miko called back.
"And Optimus, Talida, get yourselves on the dance floor with them," Jack instructed, "You're a father/daughter duo too."
"Since when is he a bossy boot?" Talida asked rhetorically with a laugh as Optimus lead her onto the dance floor
Even though Ratchet has been known to act as a grouchily old man the majority of the time, he still means well. Aside from Optimus, he acts like a second father to everyone. Arcee, especially, since her parents were killed back on Cybertron about three months before they left for Earth to battle Decepticon threats and that he and her father were good friends. So it was an obvious choice that he would stand in for her father on her big day. Including for the father-daughter dance. For which, they will be joined by Optimus and Talida…since Jack almost jumped down off the stage and dragged them onto the floor himself. (AN: Pssst. Me, Jazz, Angel, Kris and Rachelle are background vocalists for this one. So us is us, OK?)
"Let's go," Arcee and Talida whispered with a giggle as the piano introduction began playing.
Jack: Oh… Oh-whoa-oh…
It's been a long and winding journey.
But I'm finally here tonight.
Picking up the pieces.
And walking back into the light.
Into the sunset of your glory.
Where my heart and future lies.
There's nothing like that feeling,
When I look into your eyes.
My dreams came true,
When I found you.
I found you…
My miracle…
Jack and us: If you could see what I see,
You're the answer to my prayers.
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel,
You would know. It would be clear.
That angels brought me here…
"This is just too cute!" Laura Fowler cooed.
"I married a romantic," Fowler grumbled.
"Don't ruin the moment," Nina Fowler threatened.
Jack: Standing here before you,
Feels like I've been born again.
Every breath is your love.
Every heartbeat speaks your name.
My dreams came true.
Right here in front of you.
My miracle…
Jack and us: If you could see what I see,
You're the answer to my prayers.
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel,
You would know. It would be clear,
That angels brought me here…
Jack: Brought me here to be with you.
I'll be forever grateful.
Oh, forever faithful…
My dreams came true,
When I found you.
My miracle…
Jack and us: If you could see what I see,
You're the answer to my prayers.
Jack: Ohhh…
Jack and us: And if you could feel the tenderness I feel,
You would know. It would be clear.
Jack: That angels brought me here…
Us: If you could see what I see,
You're the answer to my prayers.
Jack: You know I love you, baby.
Jack and us: And if you could feel the tenderness I feel,
Jack: You would know. It would be clear.
That angels brought me here…
Basically, the crowd went nuts. No one knew Jack was capable of singing like that. So they were amazed by the way Jack performed that song. So much emotion. It was real. It FELT real. Everyone could connect with Jack as he sang that song.
"Alright, Miko. Get your butt up there," Talida instructed as she walked up to Miko.
"Fine," Miko grumbled as she walked up.
"Mind if I cut in?" Optimus asked cheekily.
"No objections from me," Arcee shrugged just as cheekily as she walked into Optimus' waiting arms.
"Before anyone asks, Talida put me up to this," Miko said.
"You'll thank me later!" Talida called up.
"Come on. It's open dance time. So everyone get your butts out on the dance floor and have the time of your lives," Miko requested as the familiar introduction began playing.
"No protest from me," Jazz, Rachelle and I remarked as we rose from our seats eagerly.
"May I have this dance?" Kris asked, pulling off a British accent.
"Of course you may," I giggled with the same British accent as we headed to the dance floor.
Miko: We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts.
I'm standing there. On a balcony in summer air.
See the lights. See the party. The ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd.
And say, '"Hello."
Little did I know…
That you were Romeo. You were throwing pebbles.
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase.
Begging you, "Please don't go…"
And I said,
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting. All that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story. Baby, just say yes.
"You put her up to this?" Jack asked Talida.
"Yep," Talida nodded proudly.
"She's brilliant," Jack complimented.
Miko: So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes…
Escape this town for a little while… Oh-oh!
'Cause you were Romeo. I was a scarlet letter.
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
But you were everything to me.
I was begging you, "Please don't go…"
And I said,
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone!
I'll be waiting! All that's left to do is run!
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess!
It's a love story! Baby, just say yes!
Romeo, save me! They're trying to tell me how to feel!
This love is difficult! But it's real!
Don't be afraid! We'll make it out of this mess!
It's a love story! Baby, just say yes!
Oh-oh…
"Kinda reminds me of our life on Cybertron," Optimus remarked.
"They tried to keep us apart," Arcee laughed, "Because of the stupid laws about a commander not allowed to date his soldier. But some still broke that law."
"It's even worse if you're a commander who is falling in love with his or her second-in-command. But honestly, I don't care about that," Optimus confessed.
"You're a Prime. You're hard-wired to uphold Cybertron's traditions, laws, customs; everything related to Cybertron. You're meant to care," Arcee reminded him.
"But I love you and that's all that matters," Optimus retorted as he smashed his mouth roughly and violently to hers to silent her protests, "Besides, we're soul mates. They try to keep us apart, I can bring harm to them and get away with it."
Miko: I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading.
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said,
Romeo, save me. I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you. But you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
Marry me, Juliet! You'll never have to be alone!
I love you and that's all I really know!
I talked to your dad! Go pick out a white dress!
It's a love story! Baby, just say…
Yes…
Oh-oh-oh-oh..
Oh-oh-oh-oh…
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you…
"OK. Raf, it's your turn to go up there. I want to be able to dance with my girlfriend," Jack declared as he grabbed Miko's hand.
"But I need you on the guitar!" Raf protested, causing Jack to groan in frustration.
"We have the backing track!" Angel called.
"Angel, come down and have some fun for this song! It'll be fine!" I promised.
"Come on, Jazz," Angel said as he began playing the song and dancing with Jazz.
"I think this song pretty much relates to Optimus and Arcee's relationship along with other songs. But Optimus practically begged me to sing this one," Raf spoke.
"Finally! I get to dance with my girlfriend!" Jack cheered as he pulled Miko onto the dance floor.
Raf: Ohhh whoa oh oh-oh.
Ohhh whoa oh oh-oh.
Ohhh whoa oh oh-oh.
Ohhh whoa oh oh…
I always knew you were the best.
The coolest girl I know.
So prettier than all the rest.
The star of my show.
So many times I wished,
You'd be the one for me.
But never knew it'd get like this.
Girl, whatcha do to me?
You're who I'm thinkin' of.
And girl, you ain't my runner up.
And no matter what,
You're always number one.
My prized possession. One and only.
Adore you. Girl, I want you.
The one I can't live without!
That's you! That's you!
You're my special little lady!
The one that makes me crazy!
Of all the girls I've ever know,
It's you! It's you!
My favourite! My favourite!
My favourite! My favourite girl!
My favourite girl!
You're used to goin' out your way,
To impress these Mr. Wrongs.
But you can be yourself with me.
I'll take you ask you are.
I know they said believe in love.
It's a dream that can't be real.
So girl, let's write a fairy tale.
And show 'em how they feel.
You're who I'm thinking of.
And girl, you ain't a runner up.
And no matter what,
You're always number one!
My prized possession! One and only!
Adore you! Girl, I want you!
The one I can't live without!
That's you! That's you!
You're my special little lady!
The one that makes me crazy!
Of all the girl's I've ever known,
It's you! It's you…
Oh-whoo-ooh!
I want you… Oh-oh…
It's you! It's you…
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh…
"This is gonna have to be the best wedding I've ever been to," Talida remarked as she swayed on the dance floor with Bumblebee.
"Because your dad and Arcee finally married?" Bumblebee guessed knowingly. (AN: Hey. Would I be evil if I left Bumblebee unable to talk in his holoform? No. And don't even doubt that for a second! LEGGO!)
"And I got to be the one to marry them," Talida added sheepishly.
"And one day, it will be us," Bumblebee declared as he gently kissed Talida, causing Optimus to clear his throat, "What?"
"You'll have to go through me first, Bumblebee," Optimus growled.
"Honey, calm down. You can worry about that later, OK?" Arcee promised.
Raf: My favourite. My favourite.
My favourite. My favourite girl.
My favourite girl…
You take my breath away,
With everything you say.
I just wanna be with you.
My baby. My baby. Oh-oh.
My miss, don't play no games.
Treat you no other way,
Then you deserve.
'Cause you're the girl of my dreams…
Yeah.
My favourite. My favourite.
My favourite. My favourite girl.
My favourite girl…
Is you…
"Alright, everyone! It's time to cut the cake!" Jazz and I declared.
Immediately, everyone ran around the cake made by Jazz. Arcee grabbed the knife and Optimus wrapped his arms around her from behind to grab the handle. Everyone cheered as Optimus and Arcee cut the cake together and fed a bit to each other. Before everyone knew it
"Yo, Bumblebee! What do you say you and me turn it up?" Jack suggested.
"Definitely!" Bumblebee agreed eagerly.
"I know what they're singing and I love that song!" Arcee squealed excitedly.
"What is it?" Talida wanted to know, only to have the familiar song began playing, "I LOVE THIS SONG!"
Jack: Baby, are you down?
Down? Down? Down? Down?
Down… Down…
Even if the sky is fallin' down.
Down… Down… Oh..
You ought to know.
Tonight is the night to let it go.
Put on a show.
I wanna see how you lose control.
So leave it behind.
'Cause we have a night to get away.
So come on and fly with me.
As we make our great escape.
So baby, don't worry.
You are my only.
You won't be lonely.
Even if the sky is fallin' down.
You'll be my only.
No need to worry.
Baby, are you down?
Down? Down? Down? Down?
Down… Down…
Baby, are you down?
Down? Down? Down? Down?
Down… Down…
Even if the sky is falling down.
Everyone got up and started dancing on the dance floor. Optimus even showed off some awesome dance moves that nobody knew he could do. To say that they were impressed would be an understatement.
"Come on, Tally! Show off some dance moves!" Wheeljack challenged.
"I'm wearing a dress!" Talida protested.
Jack: Just let it be.
Come on and bring your body next to me.
I'll take you away. Aye.
Turn this place into our private getaway.
So leave it behind.
'Cause we have a night to get away.
So come on and fly with me.
As we make our great escape.
So why don't we runaway?
Baby don't worry.
You are my only.
You won't be lonely.
Even if the sky is falling down.
You'll be my only.
No need to worry.
Baby, are you down?
Down? Down? Down? Down?
Down… Down…
Baby, are you down?
Down? Down? Down? Down?
Down… Down…
Jack and Bumblebee: Even if the sky is falling down.
Bumblebee: Down like she's supposed to be.
She gets down all over me.
Down like her temperature.
Cause to me she's zero degrees.
She's cold. Over freeze.
I got that girl from overseas.
Now she's my Miss America.
Now can I be her soldier please?
I'm fighting for this girl on the battlefield of love.
Got me look like baby Cupid.
Sending arrows from above.
Don't you ever leave the side of me.
And waiting definitely. Not probably.
And honestly I'm down like that economy. (Yeah…)
Jack: So baby, don't worry.
You are my only.
You won't be lonely.
Even if the sky is falling down.
You'll be my only. (Bumblebee: Oh…)
No need to worry. (Bumblebee: Oh…)
Baby, are you down?
Down? Down? Down? Down?
Bumblebee: Oh, the sky is falling down…
Jack: Down… Down…
Baby, are you down?
Down? Down? Down? Down?
Bumblebee: Oh, the sky is falling down…
Jack: Down… Down.. (Bumblebee: Oh, down…)
Jack and Bumblebee: Even if the sky is falling down…
Oh… Oh…
And the sky is falling down…
"Hey, guys! It's nearly time!" I called out.
"WHAT?" everyone moaned in disappointment.
"We have time for two more songs. Who's up for it?" I challenged.
"I'm game!" Talida shrugged.
"Me too," Wheeljack shrugged.
Everyone cheered as Talida and Wheeljack took the stage and the microphones. The familiar drums began playing and everyone knew it was another song that describe Optimus and Arcee. Boy. Are they in the mood or what? But a lot of boys groaned because it featured a certain 17-year-old boy that boys despise and girls swoon over.
Wheeljack: You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.
Talida: Yeah. You are my dream.
There's not a thing I won't do.
I'd give my life up for you.
'Cause you are my dream.
And baby, everything that I have is yours.
You will never go cold or hungry.
Wheeljack: I'll be there when you're insecure.
Let you know that you're always lovely, girl.
Both: 'Cause you are the only thing that I got right now.
One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you!
Right next to you…
Nothing will ever come between us!
'Cause I'll be standing right next to you!
Right next to you…
Wheeljack: If you had my child, (Talida: Hey, yeah, yeah!)
You would make my life complete. (Talida: Hey, yeah, yeah!)
Just to have your eyes on a little me.
Talida: That'd be mine forever!
Both: And baby, everything that I have is yours!
You will never go cold or hungry!
I'll be there when you're insecure!
Let you know that you're always lovely, girl!
'Cause you are the only thing that I got right now!
One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you!
Right next to you…
Nothing will ever come between us!
'Cause I'll be standing right next to you!
Right next to you…
Wheeljack: We're made for one another!
Me and you… (And you, and you, and you…)
Talida: And I have no fear!
I know we'll make it through…
Both (with Talida harmonizing): One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you…
Wheeljack: Whoa oh-oh oh oh oh…
One day when the sky is falling, (Talida: When the sky is falling…)
I'll be standing (Talida: Falling, oh…) right next to you..
(Talida: Right next to you! Oh…) Right next to you…
(Talida: Right next to you! OH!)
Nothing will ever come between us!
'Cause I'll be standing right next to you…
Right next to you..
Talida: Right next to you…
Both: Oh nah nah!
Oh yeah!
Stand by my side, side!
When the sky falls down!
I'll be there!
I'll be there!
Wheeljack: You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.Talida: I pray to God everyday.
Both: To keep you forever!
To sat that everyone went wild would be an understatement. It was pandemonium. However, the time came to send Optimus and Arcee off as husband and wife. At everyone's insistence, Optimus and Arcee are going on a honeymoon for two weeks to Hawaii. And we are going to send them off appropriately. So what could be better than this? Everyone cheered as the familiar introduction began playing.
Everyone: 1, 2, 3, 4!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Forever…
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Forever…
Me: It's you and me.
Moving at the speed of light into eternity. Yeah.
Jazz: Tonight is the night.
To join me in the middle of ecstasy.
Angel: Feel the melody and the rhythm of the music around you.
Around you… Oh…
Kris: I'mma take you there. I'mma take you there.
So don't be scared. I'm right here, baby.
Rachelle: We can go anywhere. Go anywhere.
But first, it's your chance. Take my hand. Come with me.
All: It's like I've waited my whole life for this one night.
It's gonna be me, you and the dance floor.
'Cause we've only got one night.
Double your pleasure.
Double your fun.
And dance forever, ever, ever.
Forever, ever, ever.
Forever, ever, ever.
Forever, girl. Forever.
Forever, ever, ever.
Forever, ever, ever.
Forever, ever, ever.
Forever on the dance floor.
As we sang, Optimus and Arcee walked around in the circle saying goodbye to everyone and taking photos with them for keepsakes concerning the wedding. After all, this event only happens once in a lifetime for them. So photos are valuable keepsakes (as well as the video Jazz and I recorded). They added value to the memories we would always carry with us.
Me: Feels like we're on another level.
Feels like our love's intertwined.
Jazz: We can be two rebels.
Breaking the rules. Me and you. You and I.
Angel: All you gotta do is watch me.
Look what I can do to my feet.
Kris: Baby, feel the beat inside…
Rachelle: I'm driving. You can the front seat.
Just need you to trust me.
All: Oh, oh, oh!
It's like!
It's like we've waited our whole life for this one night!
It's gonna be me, you and the dance floor!
'Cause we only got one night!
Double your pleasure!
Double your fun!
And dance forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, girl, forever.
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever on the dance floor!
Gradually, the guests began lining up at the path of Optimus' bipedal form open and ready to go. Arcee's bipedal form was stowed away in his trailer to worry about for when they're at their honeymoon destination. Slowly, all the groomsmen and bridesmaids made their way through the arch to add more length to the tunnel of love everyone was making. Although, some keep on stalling to pull off some dance moves.
Me: It's a long way down.
We're so high off the ground.
Jazz: Sending for an angel to bring me your heart.
Angel: Girl, where did you come from?
Got me so undone.
Kris: Got me saying what a beautiful lady.
No ifs, ands or maybes.
Rachelle: I'm releasing my heart and it's feeling amazing.
Girls: There's no one else that matters. You love me.
Boys: And I won't let you fall, girl. Let you fall, girl.
Oh….
It was suddenly slow motion as Raf and Talida made their way through the archway from the halfway point. Everyone else began moving in slow motion too to suit the effect. As the music began to build up, Raf and Talida added to the arch as Optimus and Arcee appeared.
All: It's like!
It's like I've waited my whole life for this one night!
It's gonna be me, you and the dance floor!
'Cause we only got one night!
Double your pleasure!
Double your fun!
And dance forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, girl, forever.
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever, ever, ever!
Forever on the dance floor!
Everyone cheered and waved as Optimus' bipedal form disappeared into the night. Over the horizon in a cloud of sand from the desert highway. Slowly, everyone disappeared for the night. But little did they know that someone watched the whole thing with heartbroken eyes.
"Arcee," he whispered sadly.
Who is this person? How did he know Arcee? What did he want with her? But this much can be revealed.
This mystery person is a Decepticon.
And his name is Clarion.
Well that wasn't my best work. On the plus side: the wedding finally happened! YA HOO! I really need to work on my wedding scenes…
Well, as you know, the next chapter is Rock Bottom. A recon trip to an abandoned mine went wrong when Bulkhead, Arcee, Miko, Jack and Talida encounter Megatron and Starscream in the mine and their brief encounter causes the mine to collapse, trapping them all inside.
BYE!
