Once Ratchet was done with his work, the medic let the two lovesick bots know that Lancex was ready to go. Both were confused, as Lancex was not yet awake. Ratchet explained that while Lancex was still out, he didn't need to remain in the med bay. He needed a real berth to lay down in and recover. Since neither knew anything medically, both Optimus and Grimlock nodded at what Ratchet had said. Ratchet was grateful when all three bots left the med bay, as it meant Ratchet had time to himself in the med bay.

Optimus and Grimlock carried Lancex together as neither was quite sure if one would be able to carrying him right now. Seeing that going to a lower level would be tricky, the pair headed for the Prime's quarters. Optimus knew that they would be big enough, as he had sparse belongings, but he wasn't sure if Lancex and Grimlock would be careful with the few things Optimus did have in the room.

Soon, the three entered and Grimlock and Optimus placed the out of it Lancex carefully onto the berth. "It ain't big enough" Grimlock uttered, unaware of the secret of the berth.

"It is only set for me right now. I can make it adjust" Optimus replied, pushing a hidden button and soon the berth expanded, big enough for the three of them and then some.

"How come you have thing kind of berth?" Grimlock asked.

"I am the Prime. It is standard in the Prime's quarters" Optimus replied, figuring the real explanation was too complicated for the dinobot to understand. Grimlock nodded and then made his way over to lay down next to the sleeping Lancex. Grimlock made sure to snuggle close to Lancex, who snuggled in without knowing it.

Optimus, for his part and not to be outdone, lay on the other side of Lancex. Optimus felt a bit crowded in his own berth, but it felt better than being alone and lonely. Optimus didn't snuggle quite as closely as Grimlock, as Optimus didn't want to seem possessive and domineering. Optimus just wanted Lancex happy and healthy, even if that meant without the Prime. Grimlock and Optimus glared at each other for some time, each wanting to show that they weren't backing down or going away. They would have to workout their issues once Lancex woke up once again.
