The rest of the painting hadn't taken much longer and the waxing took even less time. Soundwave was gratefully allowed his visor and mask back on for the waxing and the buffing that came along with it. He honestly didn't know the last time his plating had been so smooth and shiny. Even his dock had gotten a proper cleaning, inside and out. Pit, he'd even removed both his mask and visor from his helm to let them get cleaned, the workers were just that good.

Now, they walked to the oil baths in the far back of the building. He loosely held Cascade's waist, oddly comfortable despite his mask and visor sitll off. They'd been reattached, but he didn't feel like closing them back just yet. The building was relatively empty anyway and not a single worker had stared. They simply did their work, making easy conversation with her and the Cassettes. Ratbat was especially fond of the nice femme who had buffed out their claws and digits, cleaning out the little grooves and joints.

The door slid open for them and she walked in to look over a shelf of bottles. "What scent do you want? There's some soft, flowery scents, but I don't think you'd like that too much."

Frenzy looked up at her, his field soaked with relaxation and his visor dimmed. "Is there one that smells like Earth's rain? It's really hard to find anything that smells like that."

She nodded, plucking a bottle. "Yup. Everyone else okay with that?"

Rumble nodded quickly and Soundwave rubbed her hip. "Frenzy; picked a good scent."

She smiled up at him and walked over to the pool, pouring in half of the bottle. Ravage was the first to step into the bath, swimming around some and helping mix the liquid in. The room filled with the comfortable scent and Soundwave followed Cascade in, Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw hopping off his shoulders to perch on the edge of the tub.

Ratbat chittered softly as Cascade sank down beside Soundwave, some lightly bubbling oil covering him. "Hot!"

Cascade smiled and carefully lifted him from her shoulders, setting him beside Lazerbeak. "Take your time, it is a bit hot for thinner plating."

Ratbat gripped the edge and nodded quickly, settling down as he started lightly dipping his claws into the oil. Soundwave shifted and slid down a step to sink down to his shoulders. He slid his arm around Cascade's waist and she giggled softly as he pulled her into his lap, setting her on his thighs.

She loosely hugged his shoulders and sighed happily, letting her wings spread out and dip into the oil. Ravage swam around them and stood on a slightly higher step, tucking his paws under his body. Rumble sat beside him, lounging back, flicking off his visor and resting his head back on his crossed arms on the floor.

Frenzy floated on his back, sighing happily, his plating flared out. "Carrier, we gotta do this again."

Cascade lightly flicked her wings, gently pushing him away as he floated towards them. "We will, won't we, Soundwave?"

Soundwave chuckled softly as she smiled cutely at him, her digits lightly playing with some cabling on his neck. "Yes."

Rumble gave a lazy cheer, fistbumping the air. "Woo! Frag, we needed this..."

Frenzy hummed in agreement, pushing back against the wall when he bumped against it.

Ratbat slowly made his way into the oil, spreading his wings out and lightly kicking his pedes to move around. "It smells really nice. Does Earth really smell like this?"

Cascade smiled softly as she rested her head on Soundwave's shoulder. "Only after it rains and the grass and trees are still wet. It's so fresh and relaxing, I fell into recharge one time in one little human's yard." She giggled softly, smiling widely. "Apparently it's rude to recharge in their yards without permission."

Soundwave smiled softly, gently rubbing along her wings. "Cascade; has visited Earth often?"

She hummed softly, lightly nuzzling against his shoulder. "A few times. I'm considered more frendly than a few others and I did sign up to be on the visiting list for future trips. I've had a few chances, but I've been spending so much time you all, I'd rather stay with you all instead of go to Earth."

Rumble sat up straight, grinning widely. "Aww, you love us!"

She giggled and nodded. "Yes, I love you all. Even you two trouble makers." Frenzy and Rumble cooed at her, wide grins on their faces. She giggled and looked up at Soundwave, giving him a soft smile. "I love each and every one of you. No matter what happens."

Soundwave stared into her optics, his spark swelling and his field flaring out. He didn't bother reigning it back in, letting it stretch outwards. Happiness and love shined through and all of their fields reached out for his, latching on and mingling with it.

He knew he didn't need to say it. They knew he loved them all. And they all new he loved her more.
