Author's Note: So my head-canon for Cybertronian ages is that when a Sparkling turns 10 years old that's when they become a Youngling, and when a Youngling turns 30 that's when they officially become an adult.
Chapter summary: Becoming a Youngling was a Cybertronian milestone, and Omega knew just the thing that would make Ome's day the best day ever.
"Hello" Normal talk.
"Hello" Speaking through the bond.
"Hello" Com-link/Private Com-link.
"Hello" Thoughts.
It was official, Ome had turned ten years old and was now officially a Youngling, it was a Cybertronian milestone. She was excited to see what today would bring, her Sire had been pretty hush-hush about what he had planned for her special day, sometimes she had even begged him to tell her, but he hadn't budged an inch on it and would tell her that she would find out when the day arrived, well now the day had arrived and she would finally find out what her Sire had planned. She came out of recharge at a decent time that morning, more due to excitement than anything else, and she headed for the Rec Room where she knew her Sire would be.
Omega looked up from reading his datapad and smiled when he saw his daughter "Hello Ome" he greeted and put his datapad away.
"Hi Sire! It's my Sparkday!" Ome replied excitedly and chirped.
Omega laughed a little "Yes it is, happy Sparkday" he replied.
Ome grinned.
"Now, I know I've been pretty secretive about your surprise, I had to make sure that it was possible" Omega said.
Ome nodded and smiled "So what's my surprise?" she asked eagerly.
Omega chuckled "Ok, now I know that one of the things you love learning about is space, so...I'm going to be taking you on a space flight" he replied and smiled.
Ome was delighted "A space flight? Wow!" she replied "thanks Sire!"
Omega chuckled "It's alright" he said.
"How will we fly into space? 'Cause I can fly" Ome replied, she had never seen her Sire's alt mode and didn't even know he could transform.
Omega smirked a little "Don't worry about that, I got it covered" he assured.
Ome chirped and nodded.
"Now you need to have some energon, then once Alpha gets here we can go" Omega said, Alpha had offered to cover for him so he could take his daughter on her space flight for the day, Optimus knew of it and so did Ultra Magnus, this had been planned for the past month.
Ome smiled and tweeted in excitement.
Half an hour later, the proximity sensor was triggered and a blue dot on the screen showed up "Ah, that will be your Uncle Alpha" Omega said and got up, he walked to the main door of his base and opened it.
Ome ran over to join her Sire at the door, she chirped in delight when she saw Alpha walking up "Uncle Alpha!" she said and ran to him.
Alpha grinned a little and lowered a hand for her "Hello Ome, happy Sparkday" he replied and gently lifted her to his chest.
"Thank you" Ome replied with a smile.
"The others wish you a happy Sparkday as well" Alpha said with a smile, referring to the other Autobots Guardians.
"Tell them thanks" Ome replied with a smile.
Alpha smiled and walked up to his older Autobot Guardian brother "Hello Omega" he greeted and gently put his niece down.
"Hello Alpha" Omega replied and smiled, the two Autobot Guardians shared a hug "I appreciate you doing this"
"As I said Omega, Ome will only be ten once and it needs to be celebrated" Alpha replied with a smile as they ended their hug.
Omega nodded and smiled "Alright, well you've been here often enough to know where everything is, if you do have any problems just comm me" he said "and Optimus has your com-link frequency should he need your help with any battles"
Alpha nodded and smiled "I know, don't worry Omega I got it covered, you just go and enjoy your time with your daughter on her Sparkday" he replied and gave his niece a smile.
Ome tweeted and smiled.
Omega nodded and smiled "Alright, Ome come with me" he said and walked out the base to stand outside as Alpha moved to stand in the doorway of Omega's base.
Ome chirped in curiosity as she walked outside to join her Sire.
"Ome move back so your Sire can transform" Alpha said and smiled.
Ome looked puzzled "Transform?" she asked as she moved back.
Omega smiled before he transformed down into his alt mode, a red and yellow Cybertronian ship.
Ome's optics widened in amazement "Wow! Sire is that you?" she asked.
A familiar chuckle came from the ship "Yes Ome it is" Omega responded and opened the airlock "come on inside"
Ome chirped and brought out her thrusters, she activated them and flew up and inside her Sire's alt form, she landed on the ground and looked around in amazement "Wow...I didn't know you could transform Sire" she said.
"I can yes, as I said I got the space flight covered" Omega's voice seemed to come from everywhere in the ship.
Ome looked around in near awe "Wow" she said.
Omega chuckled "Go sit in the control room" he replied.
Ome chirped and her Sire directed her through his alt mode to the main control room, she sat down in one of the seats at the front and was secured.
"Ready to go?" Omega asked.
Ome smiled and nodded eagerly "Let's go see space!" she replied.
Omega chuckled before he activated his engines and started to lift off the ground.
"Have a good time" Alpha said with a smile and gave a wave.
"We will be back this evening" Omega replied.
Alpha gave him the thumbs up "Go enjoy yourselves" he replied with a smile.
"Thank you Alpha" Omega responded before he gradually gained altitude.
It was lucky that Ome wasn't afraid of heights, she was loving the ride "We're so high!" she said.
"We are yes, and we have to go much higher to reach space" Omega replied, a smile clear in his voice "but don't worry, I'll get us up there"
Ome trusted him and smiled, she looked out at the front view window as her Sire gained altitude to reach outer space, she gasped, looking awestruck, there were so many stars! Their colours consisting of either yellow, red or blue "There's blue stars!" she said with a smile.
"Yes there is, those blue stars are the hottest, and see the red ones? They're hot but not as hot as the blue ones" Omega explained.
Ome chirped in awe as she looked at the seemingly endless number of stars "They're pretty" she replied, she then pointed "look! A nebula!"
Omega chuckled softly "It is, do you remember what happens in a nebula?" he asked, he had taught her a decent amount about space and wanted to test her knowledge.
Ome thought a moment "Stars are born?" she asked.
"That's right" Omega responded and smiled "that's the beauty of the universe, if a star were to die, another will take its place"
Ome chirped and nodded as her Sire flew further and further away from Cybertron, she felt like she was on Cloud 9 as her Sire showed her the stars, asteroids and nebulas, she saw something in the distance and pointed to it "Sire what's that?" she asked.
Omega turned his sensors in that direction "Ah, that Ome is a galaxy" he replied "if I remember correctly it's the Milky-Way Galaxy, home to many stars and planets like our galaxy"
"Wow, I got to see a galaxy!" Ome replied with a smile.
Omega chuckled softly "Yes, you did" he said as he continued on his flight through space.
That evening, Alpha looked up from reading his datapad when the proximity sensor was triggered, he knew straight away that it was Omega and Ome returning from their space flight. For Alpha himself it had been a quiet day, there hadn't been any battles but he had had a visit from Optimus to see how he was doing, but other than that it had been peaceful. He got up off the couch and walked to the main door of Omega's base, he opened it and smiled when he saw Omega land "Welcome back" he said as he saw Ome come out "how was it Ome?"
"It was amazing, I had so much fun" Ome replied with a smile and gave a yawn, she was tired from all the excitement of the space flight.
Alpha smiled "I'm glad, you won't forget this day in a hurry" he replied.
"It was the best day ever" Ome replied with a smile as her Sire transformed into his bipedal mode, she looked way up at him and smiled "thanks Sire"
"It's alright Ome, I'm happy that you had a great time" Omega replied and smiled, he was glad that despite the war he still managed to make his daughter's Sparkday special, and it was a day that neither of them would forget.
