"Eyo, here you are Metalsound."

"Oh, Thunderhoof, I thought you were sleeping," the wolf Predacon turned her helm to see her mate a few feet away.

"I was, then I woke up and found you gone so I came looking for you."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you. I couldn't sleep."

"So what are you two talking about?"

"Nothing much, just trying to find ways to help the twins with their training," she replied coolly.

"How is that coming?"

"Slowly, they still have much to learn," Drift replied.

"Well, they'll get it sooner or later."

"I should head back, the sun will be rising soon," Drift motioned to the lowering moon as he left.

"Alright. Do you want to watch the sunrise?" Thunderhoof asked Metalsound.

"Of course," Metalsound purred.

Thunderhoof smiled as he sat down next to her. Metalsound transformed into bot form as the moon slowly set.

"I like watching the sunrise, it's so beautiful."

"I thought you just liked the glow it gave off on my body," she teased.

"Did I say that?"

"You didn't have to, I can tell by the way you're looking at me."

"Well, it does give off a glow off your body making you look very beautiful."

His comment made her wings twitch with embarrassment as a blush appeared on her face. Thunderhoof chuckled, "You look cute when you do that."

"Thunderhoof stop," she giggled as she hid her face behind her servos.

"Did that make you blush?"

She made a sound that concerned his question and he just chuckles. Peeking out through her fingers she wondered how to make him blush.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing," she replied as she removed her servos from her face with a mischievous grin.

"From the looks of that grin, it's something."

She brushed her tail against his leg as she turned to face him. She glided a servo across his shoulder as she gently moved it in a circular motion.

"What you doing?"

"You'll see," she whispered as she moved to get behind him, her servos pressing against his shoulders, massaging them.

"Ahh, that feels good."

"You do feel rather tense," she teased lightly.

"I am tensed from everything that's been going on."

"We're all tense," she reminded as she felt his neck and shoulder cables loosening under her touch.

"Yeah, I know. AHH! That feels much better."

Metalsound chuckled as she made her way to his lower back, "You may want to lay down for this part."

He lays down and lets her do what she wants. She made circular motions between his shoulder blades, "Just let me know if you want me to go lower," she whispered.

"Ohh, go lower."

"If that is what you wish," she said in a low voice, but she moved to his lower back. He was tense, she pressed down to relieve the tension in the cables and wires in his back.

"Ahhhhhh. That's so good."

"Glad to hear it."

"Ohh, a bit over."

She moved over to his side.

"Ah that's the spot, go harder."

Metalsound used her elbow to add more pressure.

"Ah yeah."

"You do realize that you're gonna be giving me one when I'm done, right?" She grinned.

"Sure thing."

She slowly made her way back up to his shoulders, a few sparks danced across him as her fingers moved. He starts groaning.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah."

"Good," she said quietly, slowly lifting her servos from his shoulders.

"This feels so good, we should do it often."

"I agree, and not after an attack from a group of crazy bots."

"Hopefully we won't get attacked by some crazy bots again."

"Yeah," she chuckled nervously.

"Why are you sounding so nervous?"

"I'm scared that they could show up at any moment."

"Who?"

"The DJD."

His helm shot up as his body shivered, "Those guys creep me out, hopefully, they don't come here, ever."

"I know, especially Tarn," she shivered as she rubbed her arms in fear.

"Yes."

Taking a deep breath Metalsound tried to relax, she didn't want to think about them. She lays down next to him, both laying on their stomachs.

"Let's talk about something else," Thunderhoof suggests.

"Like what?"

"I don't know, just anything."

"Would you ever want to have sparklings?"

He looks at her in surprise, "Um... sure when the time comes. You?"

"I would like to as well when we're ready. But I also wonder what they would look like."

"Funny, Steeljaw and I were actually just talking about that not too long ago."

"Really, what brought that up?"

"Not sure, we were talking about you and Strongarm, and then suddenly we started talking about sparklings. He was wondering how our sparklings would look and I was wondering how his and Strongarm's sparklings would look."

"I'm sure their sparklings will be cute," she giggled, "I don't care what our sparklings would look like, as long as they're healthy that's good enough for me."

"Yeah and strong."

"Yes, and smart."

"Yes."

"What's your opinion on sparkbonding?"

"Not sure, haven't really thought about it."

"Isn't that how Cybertronians mate? I know it's a little different for Predacons and Wolf-Cons but I've always liked the idea of two bots becoming one like that."

"It is, but I never really saw myself sparkbonding."

"Why not?"

"Eh, just never really saw myself getting that much into a femme to actually want to sparkbond with them, until you."

Purring softly she rested a servo on his cheek, kissing his jaw.

"You make me look at a lot of things differently. Like I never saw myself working with the Autobots but I am for you."

"What else do you see differently?"

"Well, life in general, everything I was against I suppose."

"I see, I'm glad I changed how you look at life," she smiled.

"I would like to sparkbond with you if you want to sparkbond with me."

"Of course," she said as she sat up.

Thunderhoof sat up with a chuckle, "Then let's go inside where we'll have some privacy."

"Lead the way," she got off the ground and dusted herself off. He gets up and does the same before heading back inside with her right behind him.

Steeljaw is still laying with Strongarm holding her when he hears her faint voice, "Steeljaw."

"I'm here," he whispered as he caressed her cheek, "How do you feel?"

"Not so good... something's wrong... I feel my body starting to overheat..."

:: Fixit, get over here now. :: He commed the Mini-Con.

:: What is it? :: The Mini-Con commed back.

:: Strongarm's starting to overheat. ::

:: Oh no. I'm on my way. :: He says before he hangs up and heads over. Soon Steeljaw sees Fixit come in with Arcee, Magnus, and Bumblebee right behind him. Steeljaw moved away to let the Mini-Con work.

Both Fixit and Arcee go up to her and look her over, "Would seem that whole incident had an effect on her body and it's caused her to overheat and get sick," Fixit explains.

"We need to bring her temperature down or her circuits are gonna fry and she will die," Arcee puts in.
