He guys, sorry for the long... long... long wait. I have been working and scrambling to catch up with school. I hope you all understand, and as always enjoy. :)

Ch.24

Frost transformed and drove to the city, she knew about Soundwave's telepathic ability but she didn't realize that he could get inside her processor while she was recharging. She felt that all her secrets were now in the servos of the Decepticon, even the ones where she visited Vector Prime.

::Frost, Jazz told me what happened. Are you sure you're okay?:: Prowl's voice came over the comlink.

::Yes Sire, I'm just driving it off. Don't worry so much, you'll end up like Ironhide.:: Frost teased.

::I may already be like him with the way you act.:: Prowl admitted. ::Okay just be sure to be back before the defense system goes up.::

::I know, I'll comm ya if I need anything.:: Frost said as she turned down the business district. ::Love you Sire.::

::Love you too Frost.:: Prowl said with a smile before they terminated the connection.

Frost sighed heavily as slowed down to a crawl when a light turned red. While she waited for the light to turn green, Frost watched Ratbat and Buzzsaw fly rapidly past towards the top of a building. Frost knew that she had to wait for the light, but she needed to get to where the two Decepticons were going.

"Come on you stupid light." Frost said irritably as it was still red after five minutes. "Primus come on!"

The light turned green, and Frost put the pedal to the metal after she turned down the road that Ratbat and Buzzsaw turned on. She stopped in front of a building where Ratbat and Buzzsaw was transforming and flew into the open compartment on Soundwave's chest. Frost transformed in mid swerve.

"Did you hack into Jazz's equipment?" Frost asked after Soundwave jumped off the top of the building.

::Affirmative.:: Soundwave said with a nod. ::Autobot Femme: Has strange memory lapses while recharging.::

"I knew it, you're the only one who can read my thoughts. Not cool." Frost crossed her arms. "What do you want?"

::Autobot: Surrender.:: He grabbed his blaster and pointed it at her.

She gasped quietly and took a step backwards. "You are making me doubt which Decepticon is smart. Do you really think I'll surrender?"

Soundwave was silently, and then he lowered his gun. ::Soundwave: Followed Autobots to race track. Observation: Training ability, stopped blasts. Advice: Quicken reflexes.::

"You were stalking me!? Primus what is up with all you Cons taking an interest in me!: Frost flicked her wings up angrily. Her servos moved to her hips as she glared at him. "Go stalk someone else for a change. Maybe Sunstreaker, he'd sure like the attention."

Soundwave tilted his helm in confusion. ::Query: Autobot would rather a fellow teammate get hurt. Action: Not very Autobot.::

"Oh geez. Primus it was a joke. Go away." Frost turned and transformed. She drove off towards the base.

::Uncle Jazz, did you get the simulator fixed?:: Frost asked as she made it out of the city districts.

::No, Ah'm still workin on it.:: Jazz said with a grunt. ::Whoever did dis knows dat my hackin skills have been lackin lately.:: He joked.

Frost mentally rolled her optics with a laugh. ::Well I found out that it was Soundwave. He told me that he was observing me.::

::Soundwave? Why did Ah think of dat? Did he hurt ya?:: Jazz asked in concern.

::No, Soundwave just wanted me to surrender. Obviously I didn't. I'll tell you more when I get inside.:: Frost said as she increased her speed when she made it to the desert.

::Aight Lil Frost.:: Jazz chuckled slightly before disconnecting the link.

Frost slowed down when the ARK came into view. When the distance decreased the femme slowed even more before transforming. The auto defense system activated once she was inside. Her wings flew up and down energetically when she saw Bumblebee chatting with Jazz.

"Hey guys." Frost smiled with a wave as she went over to grab a cube of energon.

"Oh hey Frost." Bumblebee waved back from his seat.

Jazz waved as he continued to drink his energon.

Frost flicked her wings flirtatiously as Bumblebee told him about his ride with Spike. She went to ask him if he had the night shift, but a light brush across the back of Frost's wings caused her to flinch violently. She turned around and saw Tracks standing behind her with a cocky smile.

"Yes Tracks?" Frost folded her arms in front of her mid section.

"I was going to go for a drive, and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" The blue mech asked nervously.

Bumblebee tried not to let the other mech get to him, but he couldn't help but glare at the table. He felt Jazz kick him to get him to stop. Frost turned her attention to Bumblebee and then back at Tracks.

"Oh, I'm okay I actually just got back from a drive. Maybe next time?" She tilted herm helm slightly and folded her arms behind her back.

Tracks made a small 'o' with his mouth at being turned down by her. "Oh okay, yeah sounds like a plan."

The blue mech turned and left with his helm held up high. Frost sighed in relief as she turned around to face Bumblebee. "So Bee, I was wondering if you had monitor duty tonight?"

Jazz grabbed his cube and slide off the booth. "Ah just remembered dat Ah forgot my reports in my quarters."

The two looked at their friend in confusion, but simply nodded. Bumblebee watched the white femme slide into Jazz's old spot. They both smiled at each other in silence, before Bumblebee realized that he was 'drooling over Frost' as Spike told him. 'Say something for Primus sake.' He told himself as Frost stopped smiling to drink her energon.

"I…I… ahem… I do, why?" He completely forgot about his scheduled antivirus update.

"Well I thought you'd like the company. I mean if you want to." She twirled her digits nervously under the table.

"Yeah, sure that sounds fun." Bumblebee said eagerly, he watched her smile nervously and flickered her wings in a flirty fashion.

::Bumblebee, are you coming or not? I do not want to deal with a glitching scout, and neither does the rest of the team.:: Ratchet's voice came through the scout's comlink.

"Slag, I forgot about that. I got to go Frost, but I'll see you later tonight." Bumblebee hopped down, and they waved to each other as he ran out of the room.

Frost groaned and folded her arms on the table, hiding her face in them. "Why can't I just tell him?"

"Tell who what?" Bluestreak's voice came from beside the femme.

She lifted her helm up with a deep frown. The darker colored mech slid beside her, letting his niece lay her helm on his shoulder. "Bumblebee. I don't know how to tell Bumblebee how I feel about him."

"Oh? You're crushing on Bee? That's so weird, because he's been crushing on you for a while." Bluestreak admitted to her.

Frost sat up quickly with a surprise look. "Really? He likes me?"

"Jazz wasn't kidding, you are exactly like your Sire. Of course sweetspark, you two have been flirting back and forth for months. It's kind of cute watching you two flirt." He teased her with light, playful pokes on her shoulder.

"Where's Uncle Smokescreen at?" Frost asked.

"You don't want to know. Him and the twins have been locked up in their quarters almost all day." Bluestreak shivered with a look of disgust. "Ugh, makes my tanks turn just thinking about it."

Frost laughed at her uncle, "Well don't think about it."

"Easy for you to say, you don't a room next to them." Bluestreak laughed back, and then sighed happily. "I probably should get going, Optimus has me pulling a double patrol while he and Ironhide go to D.C."

The femme frowned, "Ah really? Okay, thanks for talking with me."

Bluestreak pulled Frost into a side hug and rubbed her the top edge of her right wing. "No problem sweetspark. Prowl is holing himself in his office, if you want to find him."

"Okay, thanks." Frost hugged Bluestreak back before he jogged off to start his patrol.

She sighed once she decided to go see Prowl. Jazz had most likely told him about the simulator malfunction, is worrying himself into a glitch. Frost stopped in front of the closed door, that led to her Sire's office. She put in the code for the office, and watched the door slide open.

"Frost." Prowl looked up in surprise when she walked over to him. "What brings you here?"

"I came to see how you were doing, and also I hear you've been cooped up in here all day." She spun around to look at the Holo screen to see what he was doing. "So whatcha doing?"

Prowl sat back in his chair as he rolled his helm around. "Oh nothing. I'm trying to work on some new strategies, but there's been a flaw in each design."

"Oh fun." The femme said with sarcasm.

"And Jazz told me about what happened during training." Prowl hinted for her to continue.

She nodded when she knew that her cue to explain everything. "I had a bad memory last night, which was why I was out most of the night driving. It was horrible, it Megatron and he kept growing and growing until he was the size of Unicron. Then his features changed into Unicron, I watched him devour Earth with no remorse. That's when I onlined. And while I was using the simulator, I guess Soundwave hacked into Jazz's equipment and replayed the memory."

"Oh, Frost I'm sorry." Prowl stood up and hugged Frost tightly, rubbing the back of her wings gently. "Do you want me to have someone take your morning shift?"

"No, it's fine. I'm fine." Frost smiled as she pulled away from her Sire. "So how do you feel about me being the sparkling of a Prime?"

Prowl looked at her with surprise. "Where'd this come from?"

Frost hopped onto the metal desk and sighed quietly. "You never really talk about it, and the only time it does come up is when I'm endanger, learning more about myself, or Vector Prime decides to pop a visit in my processor."

"If you were the creation of Unicron, I would still love you. Every sparkling and youngling, deserves a chance to be good. That's why if you ever decide to leave Earth to be with Vector Prime, I'll still love you." Prowl said, though it didn't entirely make sense, Frost knew what he was trying to say.

Frost hugged him tightly once more, "Thanks Sire. I love you too." She pulled away and looked at him with a smile. "And about Vector Prime, I'm still not sure if I even want to go. I know I may have to go one day, but I want to fight here. On Earth, with everyone."

"We all hope that that doesn't come, but that probably won't be the case. When that day does come, I hope you make the choice you feel is right." Prowl placed a gentle servo on her shoulder.

Frost nodded and sighed sadly, "You're right. Thanks for talking with me, I really needed the pep talk. Ha-ha."

"You're welcome sweetspark, is there anything else you needed to talk about?" Prowl asked casually.

She shook her helm with a slight movement of her wings. "Not really, that was everything. I'll see you later."

"No more sneaking out, okay?" Prowl said sternly as his wings moved with agitation.

The femme nodded with a smile spreading across her face. "Promise."

She left her Sire's office with the smile still on her face. Frost checked the time with her internal clock, and quietly groaned in disappointment. "Four hours until Bumblebee's shift. What am I going to do?"

On the other side of the ARK, Bumblebee paced his quarters. Jazz sat on his berth with a concerned look on his face. "Bee, yer makin meh dizzy. Why not just tell her how ya feel?"

"Like that worked for you with Prowl." Bumblebee stopped pacing and glared at the shocked mech.

"Woah, low blow there. Frost has dah biggest crush on ya, like as big as my love for Earth music." Jazz chuckled. "Prowler cares for meh, just not in dah way Ah care for him."

The yellow mech groaned into his servos. "But she hasn't said anything!"

Jazz face palmed with a frustrated smile. "Dat's because ya never told her how ya feel bout her!"

Bumblebee stepped back slightly with a small 'o' on his lips. "Oh. So you're sure that she won't reject me if I tell her?"

"Positive. Ya better go clean yerself off though. Yer a little dirty from dat football game earlier." Jazz teased his friend as he stood up. "Ah gotta go now. Just don't do anything stupid and hurt her feelings, or Ah'll make ya clean dah Brig for twelve solar cycles. And don't get meh start on what Prowler would do."

Bumblebee felt his tanks rumble nervously, as he heard the seriousness in his superior's tone. "You got it Jazz. I wouldn't do anything to hurt Frost."

"Good." Jazz personality instantly changed to his bubbly self. "Good luck Bee."

He left with a little perk in his step, leaving the scout in his quarters in worry. "Primus, why does he have to do that?"
