Prime, Chapter 17

Miko was curious to know what was up and was asking Terry if he had any idea, to which he replied that it would be obvious to anyone if they opened their eyes. Though he didn't give her a straight answer she rolled her eyes and when she realized he wasn't going to tell her anything she went and turned on one of her Slash Monkey CD's, to which he then quickly turned off despite Miko and Bulkhead's protests.

"Slash Monkey, seriously? Those loudmouths are just screaming stuff into the microphones without even being synced with their music." The sand colored blond pointed out putting the disk into it's case. "You should try listening to real Music."

"Ya, what's that old as dirt music from like, the fifties?" She then questioned taking her CD in annoyance to the fact that he was insulting her favorite band. "Just because you don't get them doesn't make them bad."

"Oh no I get them, they still suck. I could play a better song on just the guitar alone." He stated in response to the foreign exchange student's attitude, though she clearly didn't believe him.

"Prove it." Miko then spoke shoving her guitar into his hands clearly not believing he could do better, though he raised an eyebrow before getting an idea.

"Make you a deal, I'll listen to all of your slash monkey CD's in one sitting if I can't do better, but if I can, then you have to start listening to the music I like." He smirked waiting for her response. She pondered for a moment and then smirked.

"You're on." She smirked as he strummed a few chords and began adjusting the strings on Miko's guitar before breaking out into song, though the Autobots seemed to like this better than Slash Monkey.

Miko looked surprised while listening to the song, it was rock, but a different kind of Rock than what she's used to. Actually, she liked it, and found herself starting to bob to the music as Jack was coming back with Arcee followed by Optimas, Ratchet, and his mother. Surprisingly, Ratchet who seemed to hate listening to Rock was enjoying the sound of the echoing guitar and they all seemed surprised that it was Terry who was playing it, and not one of Miko's CDs.

"Is that.. Cliffs of Dover?" Jack questioned listening to the music having recognized it from one of the songs in his music collection. "I haven't heard that in awhile."

Once the sand colored blond was finished with the guitar he handed it back to Miko with a smirk knowing she'd enjoyed it and decided to tease her a bit. "Just because it's old, doesn't make it bad." He joked looking her directly in the eyes making her blush a bit.

"S-so Jack, what exactly were you guys talking about?" Miko then questioned trying to distract herself from how mesmerizing she found Terry's eyes to be. "I bet it's something really important top secret stuff."

"Well, sorta." The dark haired seventeen year old spoke saying that it kind of was, but looked to Arcee to see if she wanted to tell them or not, to which his lover seemed to show she was ready.

"Miko, everyone." Arcee then spoke getting everyone's attention because she was ready to just tell them and get it over with, though she placed her right hand gently over the front of her abdomen just a bit above her waist with a soft looking smile. "I'm.." She paused taking a deep breath, though Cybertronians don't breath the traditional way that humans would. "I'm pregnant."

The room was a mix of all different kinds of emotions, some were of worry, others excitement. Rafael looked happy for her and figured that Jack was the father. Though Miko's eyes sparkled hearing that and she got all kinds of excited. Though Arcee had to sit down for a moment after telling them because she felt a bit dizzy. The look on Jack's face showed that he was the happiest of the group, though his mother was a close second knowing she was going to be a grandmother. Terrance simply shrugged since he already knew that information and Handed Miko one of his CDs to listen to since he'd won the bet and then went back to the computers to continue working.

"What I'd like to know is how exactly a Bio-Organic human and a Bio-Mechanical Cybertronian could produce offspring, by all accounts it shouldn't be possible." Ratchet then spoke up saying that he didn't see how Jack managed to impregnate Arcee, even if she did shrink down to human size for when they were 'intimate'.

"Well you see Ratchet, when a man and a woman love each other very much." The Sand colored blond spoke up from the computers jokingly while continuing to check the monitors and other such things.

"That's not what I meant. I know how they would go about it, what I don't understand is how human genetics are compatible with that of Cybertronian." The Medic spoke up annoyed by the young man's teasing making everyone in the room laugh and seriously lightening up the room helping everyone to feel better.

"This Music isn't half bad." Miko then spoke up from where she was listening to the disk that Terry had handed her to listen to, honestly she liked it, and was using her headphones to enjoy it so that it didn't bother Arcee, knowing she was pregnant Miko despite her usual attitude she knew not to put stress on someone who's pregnant. "Hey, Arcee, how far along are you, do you know?" She then questioned looking up at Arcee who had fallen asleep leaning against the wall that was behind where she was sitting.

"She's about a month along." Jack then spoke up telling Miko that Arcee was just over a month along before smiling at Arcee's sleeping form, she really seemed so peaceful sleeping like that. Though he wished he could pick her up and carry her to her room, with her being Giant sized he couldn't do that unfortunately. "Optimas, will you help me get Arcee to her room?"

"Of course Jack." Optimas spoke carefully picking Arcee up and carrying her off to her room with the dark haired young man right behind him every step of the way. He was glad they had so many good friends to help out with times like this though.

After listening to the disk, the girl with pink highlights looked over to the sand colored blond curious. She kind of liked him, but she's never had a crush before and didn't know how she was supposed to go about dealing with it. "Hey Terry.." She began but paused not sure if she was supposed to ask or if he would.

"Ya?" Her crush questioned turning back just enough to speak to her, but remained working at the same time, he'd needed to get all this stuff set up quickly for the sake of the Autobots.

"Um.." She stopped and shook herself from how she was acting, this isn't her at all. "Thanks for the CD, but I'm done with it now." He shrugged and continued doing whatever it was on the computers.

"Keep it, I've got all the songs on my computer and phone anyway." The sand colored blond spoke saying that she could just keep it because he didn't need the physical disk. "It's just one I burned, so no big."

June noticed how Miko was acting and started chuckling a bit to herself before deciding to help out and walking over to Miko. "Girl talk." Was all she said before leading Miko off with a smile and heading to a secluded and empty room to have a nice long chat about boys. Honestly though she didn't like Jack's mother much at first, she was really glad to have someone to talk to about it.

After going to the empty room the two sat and started talking about different things, though they did mainly speak about Miko's crush on Terrance and how exactly she was supposed to go about getting him to realize she's interested in him. Though Jack's mother stated that all guys, even her son Jack aren't quite bright enough to pick up on subtle hints, but that she shouldn't just outright say it either. The way she'd gotten Jack's father to notice she was interested was flirting and teasing banter, but that'd ended in a divorce so she wasn't sure if Miko really should do something like that to show that she was interested in the young blond.
