"Before you say anything I haven't done anything to her," Steeljaw told them as he crossed his arms.

"I hope not," Magnus said very firmly.

"What are you planning on doing while you wait for her to recover?" Bumblebee asks trying to keep the peace between Steeljaw and Magnus.

"Masturbate really," Wheeljack replied as he joined them. Steeljaw stiffened as he turned his body away from the three mechs.

"Masturbate? Yeah, guess that could work," Bumblebee stated. Steeljaw felt like he wanted to crawl into a hole and stay there.

"Easy Steeljaw, it's nothing to be ashamed of. We all do it," Wheeljack said trying to comfort him.

"Can we change the topic please?" Steeljaw almost whined, this wasn't something he wanted to discuss in front of Ultra Magnus.

"I just hope you won't go and have sex with the next femme you come across because you can't relieve yourself with Strongarm," Magnus says firmly.

"I won't. As long as I'm mates with Strongarm she's the only one I will ever have any desires for," Steeljaw replied with a serious tone.

"Come on Magnus you know a mech who is already in love and has a mate doesn't go and have sex with just any femme, they have sex with their femme and if they can't they masturbate," Wheeljack added in.

"Dude, really?" Metalsound growled as she passed the four mechs to see Strongarm, "I don't need to hear that kind of stuff," she muttered as she walked by them, "Plus, even if he tried to he'll have his tail kicked," she added as she entered Strongarm's quarters.

"That is true," Magnus says folding his arms, "By Strongarm, me, Arcee, Wheeljack, Bulkhead."

"Me as well as the rest of the team and Metalsound," Bumblebee jumps in. Growling softly Steeljaw transformed and drove away from the scrapyard.

"Where you think he's going?" Magnus asked watching him leave.

"They think I don't know this stuff already! Well, let's see you try to stay calm while you're in heat, and your mate is injured!" He growled to himself as he drove away from the scrapyard. He was irritated and he wanted to feel Strongarm's touch around him. He looks in his mirror and sees someone following him, "Whoever you are you best turn the other way," he warned. But they kept following, he soon saw it was a motorcycle, "Arcee? What are you doing out here?" He asked.

Arcee pulls up beside him, "Wanted to make sure you were alright."

"Does it sound like I'm alright?"

"Don't let them guys get to you."

"I know they're concerned for Strongarm but they wouldn't stop. I had to get out of there."

"Are you on your heat cycle already?"

"Yes."

"I see, that explains your mood."

"I'm not meaning to be rude Arcee but I just want to be left alone for a while."

"Hold on, first let's do something," she comes to a stop and transforms.

"Ok," he said with uncertainty as he transformed.

"Look me over Steeljaw."

With a sigh, he looked her over, "Is there a point to this?" He asked in an annoyed tone.

"Do you feel anything?"

"Other than the lingering annoyance, no."

"So you're not turned on the slightest?" She asks in a somewhat sexy tone.

Steeljaw looked at her in confusion from the tone of her voice, "No, I'm not."

Arcee smiles, "Good, you passed the test."

Steeljaw muttered in frustration before he transformed once again and drove off.

Arcee headed back to the scrapyard where she was greeted by the other guys, "How did he do?" Wheeljack asked.

"He passed," she replied before glaring at them, "And you owe me big time."

"Yes Arcee, I will pay you back," Wheeljack replied wrapping his arms around her.

Arcee chuckled as she looked at Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus, "You two still aren't convinced?" She asked.

"I don't think you tried hard enough," Magnus states.

"Really? And what do you suggest, have me move seductively and see if that gets his attention?"

"Or Metalsound could. She likes dancing, we could get her to dance for us and the way she does it could get any mech turned on, we'll have him watch her dance and see if he gets turned on," Bumblebee suggests.

"But will she be willing to dance? Not to mention Thunderhoof may not like this plan," Wheeljack put in.

"Unless neither one knows about it, she always is willing to accept a challenge to dance, just play some music and she gets to dancing and Thunderhoof can think it's just a normal par- that's it a party, we'll have a party," Bumblebee explains, "Will be just a little party on the ship."

"Absolutely not," Magnus crossed his arms.

"Come on, your the main one who wants to know if Steeljaw can control himself."

"Yes, but you are not using my ship to host this party."

"Did someone say party?" Grimlock asked with excitement.

"Yes, we want to throw a party. Fine, we'll do it on the Alchemor."

"Will Fixit be ok with that?" Arcee asked.

"Where do you suggest we have it then? Or if not a party what do you suggest we do to get Metalsound to dance?" Bumblebee asked.

"We could try the quarry, it's big enough for all of us to show off our dance moves," Grimlock suggested.

"That could work."

"Then let's get going, all we need is some Energon, lights, and music," Wheeljack said excitedly.

"Yeah!" They all get the stuff they need. Fixit is told to look after Strongarm while Magnus greets Steeljaw at the gate when he returns.

Metalsound was already dancing, gracefully transforming back and forth between her beast and robot form. Her hips shook to the beat as she would shift to twirling on one foot as if she was a ballerina. Magnus arrives there with Steeljaw, "With all due respect, sir, I'm really not up for a party."

"Think of it as an apology for giving you a hard afternoon," Magnus responded, "It's a shame that Strongarm couldn't join us."

"Yes, it is. How is she?"

"She was asleep last time I checked on her."

"Oh ok," he walks over and grabs a cube of Energon, and starts drinking it.

"Ohh I love this song," Metalsound said as she started dancing to the new song.

They all watch her dance, except Steeljaw who was hardly paying attention, "What kind of song is this?" He asked Magnus.

"I don't know, personally I find it a little annoying," he replied bitterly as he glanced at Steeljaw. The Mini-Cons had gone to join Metalsound, dancing to the silly-sounding song.

"There's one thing we can agree on," Steeljaw says as he takes a sip of his Energon.

Looks like he passed. Magnus thought with a very small smile.

Steeljaw chuckles a bit, "Those Mini-Cons are amusing."

"That they are. I'm impressed that you are still standing here. You don't want to dance with them?" He motioned to Metalsound and the Mini-Cons.

"Not really in the mood, besides if I'm gonna dance with anyone it's Strongarm."

"I was hoping you would say that," Magnus said softly.

"Even in my heat cycle Strongarm's the only one I want to be with for anything, and she's the only one who can turn me on."

"Looks like the plan worked," Bumblebee said out loud as the music stopped.

"What plan?" Metalsound asked in confusion as she picked up an Energon cube.

"Um, nothing."

"Bumblebee, what plan?" She growled slowly.

"They made a plan to get you to dance in front of Steeljaw to see if he would get turned on, they wanted to see if Steeljaw will be able to control himself," Arcee speaks up explaining. Sideswipe who was nearby spat out his Energon in shock while Thunderhoof looked like he wanted to punch someone.

"What?" Metalsound asked in a very low tone, her servo clenched as a few sparks flew from her body.

Steeljaw busted the cube he was holding as his grip tightened, "This was all a scheme to see if I would hit on and try to seduce another femme!?" He growls out.

The sound of a Ground Bridge activating caught everyone's attention except for Metalsound, Soundwave dragged Thunderhoof and Steeljaw behind him as they went through, closing it behind him.

"Soundwave let me go! I'm going-" Thunderhoof saw a flash of yellow and blue in the direction of the quarry, "Never mind," he said as he felt his mate's rage through their bond. Steeljaw just growled and headed to Strongarm's room.
