Chapter Nine

Arcee laid in a crumpled mess in her bed. Sheets and pillow were everywhere. Studying was one of the main reasons she had to pull all-nighters. Her mom was in the kitchen making breakfast for her daughter.

"Arcee! Breakfast is ready dear." Lita called from down stairs. Arcee slowly sat up in her bed and rubbed her optics. Thank Primus it was the weekend. She trotted down stairs and plopped in one of the chairs around the table. Lita kissed the top of her helm and placed her food on the table.

"Hot energon cakes! Mm my favorite." She dove right in and finished her stack with in minutes.

"Well someone's hungry." Lita giggled. She untied her apron and hung it up the hook next to the front door.

"You have no idea studying all night for that history test is a pain in the aft." Arcee explained with a mouth full of food. Lita kissed the top of her daughters head. Arcee smiled she loved her mother so much words could not even form sentences of much love and gratitude she had for her.

Arcee finished quickly and went to the living room. Her phone began to vibrate. She picked it up and it was Orion. She felt her spark begin to beat a thousand times faster. They might have only been friends but Arcee had the biggest crush on him, and didn't have the courage to tell Orion.

A: "Hey Orion what's up?"

O: "Oh nothing much I was just curious if you wanted to hang out at my place for the day?"

Arcee froze. This was completely new. Not once have they been over to each other's houses and Orion had asked her today. She wanted to scream so loudly and celebrate. But them Orion may get curious.

A: "yeah sure I'll be right over."

O: "great see you then."

Arcee fell back on the couch and blushed. She let out a deep breath and smiled. Oh what a great day it was going to be. She rushed to her room and grabbed a few things without really thinking. Lita was in Arcee seat and had the HoloTv turned on and almost a full blast. Arcee smirked at her mother. Sometimes she was just one of a kind.

Arcee attempted to sneak out the door but her mother looked over with a playful smirk.

"Where do you think you're going?" she asked with a slight giggle. Arcee stopped and dropped her servo off of the door knob.

"Orion invited me over to the palace today and I was planning on seeing him anyways." She replied trying her best not to blush to hard in front of her mom. Lita put a digit to her chin and scrunched up her face.

"Well as long as you're back in time for dinner, I'm okay with." Arcee sighed in relief. She ran out the door and down the street to the bus stop. She inly waited a matter of seconds before the bus arrived. The driver gave Arcee a sweet soft smile.

"And where shall I take you today Ma'am?" he asked.

"The palace of the Primes please." The drivers optics widened in surprise. He sped off in a straight line towards the palace. It wasn't hard to find probably the biggest building on Cybertron. Arcee leaned back in her seat and enjoyed the ride. I didn't take that long before she was the front steps of the palace. She took a deep breath and began to climb. She was stop by two masculine guards. Their blue cyan optics burned.

"Who are you?" he asked pointing his blaster at Arcee. The other on stood at attention but kept eyeing Arcee.

"I'm Orion Pax's friend he invited me over today." She said shaking. The guard studied her and lowered his blaster.

"Go inside and bring Orion out here, I want proof before I let a stranger into the palace." The other guard nodded and ran inside. Arcee folded her arms and stood quietly trying not to anger the guard anymore. He sigh extremely loud and looked forward ignoring Arcee. She never notice hoe ripped the guards. Their sleek black finish made them more eye candy. Arcee tried not to stare but holy mother of Primus they were hot.

Moments later Orion walked through the doors, smiling. He moved the guard aside and stood beside Arcee. She smiled coyly and put her servos behind her back. The guard still suspicious looked at the two.

"So is she a friend Orion?"

Orion nodded and led Arcee inside. She blushed. The moment Arcee walked through those doors she thought she had seen all the things glorious. Her optics widen to huge proportions. The crystal blue walls and the shinning floors mesmerized her completely.

Stair cases spiraled up the walls and all the way to the roof it seemed. The others went directly up to what seemed like the most important rooms or floors. Orion trotted up the stairs in the middle of the room motioning for Arcee to follow. She did to following her friend to the sixth floor of the palace.

"Wow never in my life did I think I would see something so magnificent." Arcee said breathlessly. Orion took her by the servo and shushed her. He dragged her to the left hallway and the third door to the right. Orion closed the door and opened the French doors on the other side of the dark room. He smiled and sat in a chair. Arcee gave him confused look and pull out a chair next to him.

"So, I hope I didn't freak you out to much." Arcee giggled and smiled at him with her beautiful lavender optics.

"You didn't freak me out it just well I didn't know what you were doing dragging me across the palace." Arcee said nervously.

Orion grabbed her servo and blushed. "My father said I could bring anyone to the banquet of the Primes this next week and well I was thinking since were good friends that you would want to join me."

Arcee froze her mouth agape and her optics barely blinking. Was this real, Orion asking her to the banquet of the Primes, the highest and most prestigious dinner party. She blinked slowly and attempted to nod 'yes'. Orion chuckled and realized her servo.

"Well no need to rush you, I just need and answer."

"Of course I want to go who wouldn't want to go to an event like that, Oh Orion never in my life would I think I could go to it. I mean all the council members get to go and friends of their choice but being asked by a son of a Prime himself. What and honor!" she leaned back in the chair and rocked slowly. Orion had a cute smirk on his face.

"I've known you since the first academy and now it's our last year at the second academy and you're still shocked?" Orion asked.

"Well duh if I was your friend longer than that I would still be shocked, wouldn't you?"

"Well maybe I don't know."
Arcee rolled her optics and smiled. All she could think about was how much fun she was going to have at this banquet and all the bots and officials she was going to meet. But something else slipped into her mind. Was Orion asking her on a date by any chance?

She pondered that for a second and concluded that he was just asking her as a friend and besides Orion doesn't like her, why would he anyways.

There was a silent knock on the door. Orion stood up to open it. His mother stood in the door way smiling.

"Ah Orion you didn't tell me Arcee was coming over." She said walking into the room. Her silk shirk fluttered behind her like a light breeze in the air.

"Hello Miss Arcee." Aqua greeted patting her shoulder. Arcee smiled in return sitting up in the chair.

"Did you ask her yet?" Aqua asked Orion. Orion blushed and dark red. She turned the other way.
"Yes I did and you said you wouldn't interrupt."
Arcee giggled. 'Looks like this was a planned thing' she thought to herself.

"Well since that's all done, Arcee would you like to stay for dinner?" Aqua asked. Arcee again nodded

"Yes it would be my pleasure."
