Arcee and Wheeljack go out to see what happened to Bulkhead. They get out there and Arcee sees Bulkhead laying on the table hooked up to the monitors, she describes to Wheeljack the scene, "What happened?" Wheeljack then asked.

"Dreadwing got the jump on us, he rigged the whole area to blow and Bulkhead got caught in the blast," Optimus replied.

"Will he live?"

"Too soon to tell," Ratchet replied.

"I'm going after him."

"No, you're not," Arcee protested, "You can't go after him in your state, you were almost killed the last time."

"I know that, but I can't-" CLANG Wheeljack felt something hit his helm.

Arcee started giggling, "Ratchet threw a wrench at you."

"You need to stop thinking stupidly!" Ratchet yelled as he went to retrieve his wrench, "Besides, you now have a mate you need to think of."

Wheeljack rubbed his helm, "Alright, alright I won't go."

"Thank you," Arcee said as she hugged his arm.

"No problem babe."


It's been an on-and-off fight to keep Bulkhead alive, after a couple of days Bulkhead became stable and started to wake up. He looked and saw Wheeljack sitting next to him, "Hey Jackie," he said in a groggy voice.

"Hey Bulk, how are you feeling?"

"Like I was attacked by scraplets."

"Heh, yeah I imagine you would feel that way. I got a couple of good news."

"Great, I could use some good news."

"One thing, Arcee and I are mates now."

"You are? Since when?"

"Since a couple of days ago, we mated not long before they brought you back all injured."

"Well, congratulations, I'm happy for the both of you."

"Thanks. Also, Ratchet says my optics are healing and my sight will be returning, he'll be taking the metal covering off tomorrow."

"That's great! I'm so happy for you."

Wheeljack chuckled, "Yeah... I'm finally gonna see my mate and see what she looks like."

"You won't be disappointed, I promise."

"I'm sure I won't. Actually, I'll take her no matter how she looks, I love her. But I'm sure she's beautiful."

"That's the spirit, Jackie."

It didn't take long for the day to arrive when Ratchet would take off the metal covering, Ratchet slowly takes it off and Wheeljack opens his optics. Ratchet then examined his optics to make sure they were functional, "Your optics have healed so you don't need the metal covering anymore."

"Thank Primus, I can finally see again."

"That's great Jackie!" Wheeljack turned to look at Bulkhead who was still on the table recovering from his injuries, he then looked around the med bay and the base.

"This is a nice base you guys made for yourselves."

"It is, we did pretty good with what we had to work with," Bulkhead stated.

"Where's Arcee?"

"She's out on a mission with the others, she should be back shortly."

Before Wheeljack could say anything there was a buzzing on one of the monitors and Optimus came on,:: Ratchet, can you pinpoint Arcee's location? ::

"Isn't she with you?" Ratchet asked.

:: She was separated from us and we don't know where she is. ::

Ratchet gets on the monitors to look for her location, "I found her and she seems to be with a couple of Decepticons, looks like she may need back-up, sending you her coordinates now."

"Send me in to help, I need to help my mate," Wheeljack says as panic begins to set in, he can't lose his mate so soon.

"You are better now, so I'll let you go help," Ratchet says as he punches in the coordinates and opens the Ground Bridge. Wheeljack ran through coming out into a cave. He looked around and saw nothing at first, then suddenly a dark-colored femme with legs sticking out of her back came into view, she looked like she had been thrown or pushed back.

"I don't recall feeling legs on her back, so maybe that's not my mate. Primus, please don't let that be my mate," he said to himself before he opened up his comm, "Bulkhead, I'm looking at a dark-colored femme with legs sticking out the back. That's not Arcee is it?"

"What? Pit no, that's Airachnid, a female 'Con. Arcee is a blue-colored femme with only two little winglets sticking out of her back."

"Ok, didn't think it would be her because I don't recall feeling any legs on her back when I was feeling her."

Just then another femme came into view attacking the other femme, this femme fit the description Bulkhead just gave him, and her whole body feature fit what he felt that one time he was feeling her, "How many femmes are on this planet?"

"Only the two."

"Ok, then I found Arcee and she's more beautiful than I imagined," Wheeljack stated before he went to help Arcee with the femme. But as soon as he took a step to go over, shots came his way, he looked and saw Dreadwing on one of the rocks on the cave walls, "Dreadwing!"

Dreadwing jumped on Wheeljack knocking him to the ground, Wheeljack fought to get him off him. The two scuffled and Wheeljack managed to kick Dreadwing off him, "You got your sight back I see," Dreadwing says as they get into a fistfight.

"Yes, I did. Wasn't permanent thankfully."

They moved away from each other as they started shooting, Wheeljack managed to hit Dreadwing with a shot wounding his right arm, then another into his left shoulder. He goes over to him and prepares to make the final shot. Dreadwing looks up at him as he waits, "I really underestimated you, you have proven to be a great adversary. Go on and make the final shot."

Just as Wheeljack was gonna make the shot he heard a cry of pain, he looked and saw Arcee against the cave wall with one of Airachnid's legs pierced through her stomach.

"You better go see to your mate," Dreadwing tells him, "And don't worry I won't target her, this rivalry is ended. But if you ever want another fight just look for me."

Without a word Wheeljack ran off to help his mate, he transformed his gun back into his servo and brought out his sword. He jumped onto the spider femme stabbing her in the back as he pulls her off his mate, "You hurt my mate I hurt you," he throws her down onto the ground and she crawls away.

Wheeljack runs over to Arcee to help her, "I got you," he says before getting onto the comm,:: Ratchet, I need a Ground Bridge. :: It didn't take long for a Ground Bridge to open up, Wheeljack picks up Arcee and runs through. Ratchet runs up to them as soon as they're through, "Ratchet, she was stabbed by the spider femme's leg," Wheeljack explained.

"Bring her over here," Ratchet told him as he walked over to the berth in the med-bay, Wheeljack followed him and laid Arcee on the berth. Ratchet began fixing up her wound while Wheeljack stood next to her holding her servo.

"Wheeljack, you can see again," Arcee said as she looked into his optics.

"Yes, I can. And I can now see you at last."

"What do you think?"

"You're more beautiful than I imagined. I could get lost in your optics. Everything about you is just perfect."

Arcee smiled at him as she tried to hold back a blush. Her optics started to close as she started to fade, "Keep her awake Wheeljack!" Ratchet shouted with worry for the femme.

"Arcee keep your optics open, keep looking at me!" Wheeljack told her as he tries to keep her awake, she looks at him but then starts closing her optics again, "Keep your optics open. Look into my optics, let me see those beautiful optics looking into mine."

Arcee opened her optics again and looked into his optics like he told her to. A few minutes later Ratchet finishes fixing the wound, "She's in the clear now."

"Thank Primus," Wheeljack said as he held Arcee close, she closed her optics to go to sleep, "Is it safe for her to go to sleep?"

"Yes, she can sleep now."

"Ok."

Wheeljack stayed by her side while she recovered. She fully recovered after a couple of weeks and the two lived their lives together as happily as they could.


Unfortunately, that's all there is to this story, I just couldn't think of a good plot for a good full-length story. I might do a remake of it in the future if I can come up with something but right now it's uncertain since I still can't come up with anything for it. But regardless, I still hope you enjoyed reading it.
