I don't own RWBY or Transformers Prime they belong to their respective owners. This fanfic is just for fun. Note *this* means that they are thinking so when you *see it* know that it is in their heads. When you see [this] it means Bumblebee is talking. Also, I'm starting to go canon on this fanfic. So when you read things that match the show don't jump the gun on anything. Again I don't own either RWBY or Transformers Prime this is just a fanfic for fun. And if you recall I had Vector Prime say that they will remember what happened but will forget Ruby. So I have to go canon at some point and this chapter will at some point start it up.

The next day came and Ruby was heading to the main room of the base. Which to her shock Optimus was gone and Cliffjumper was the one waiting for her. "Where's Optimus?"

Cliffjumper just smirked at her. "What I'm not good enough for you?"

*Okay, now he is acting like Yang and dad!*

"Don't know are you grounded from normal missions?"

At hearing the question got Cliffjumper at a loss for words. So he just went into is alt mode and opened the door. "Just get in."

Ruby smiled at him. "Whatever you say Cliffy."

"Don't call me Cliffy!"

Ruby just rolled her eyes and got into Cliffjumper and the two drove off. Which Cliffjumper forgot that Ratchet was there watching the whole thing. He smirked at how the two interacted. "Cliffy huh? Got to remember that one when he calls me Doc."

After school Jack, Miko, Raf, and Ruby started to walk over to June's car who was waiting for them. "Hey, mom."

"Hey, Jack how was school?"

"It was fine, and these are my new friends Raf, Miko, and Ruby."

Ruby smiled at June. "Hello, it is nice to meet you, Mrs. Darby."

"It's nice to meet you as well, all of you."

The kids got into the car and June drove off.

Miko looked at Ruby which Ruby saw this. "Yes, Miko what is it?"

"Who's car was it that took you to school today? Normally a semi truck takes you to school. But today it was a red Dodge Challenger!"

Ruby just looked at Miko for a moment. "One I didn't know you were into cars and second I have more than one caretaker. And each of them has their own ride. So you may see me in a different vehicle at times. But my main caretaker is the one with the truck."

"Oh, okay."

And with that the four kids kept on talking as June drove to her and Jack's house.

Back at the base all of the Autobots walked in after they search for Energon. Ratchet looked at them all. "Still no traces of Energon?"

"No Doc bot not even a sliver."

Ratchet looked at him as if he was going to reprimand. But to everyone's shock, he stops himself and smirked at Cliffjumper. "Are you sure your scanning for Energon correctly Cliffy?"

At hearing the nickname that Ruby gave him his mouth went slack and his optic's widened in shock. "Where did you hear that?!"

Ratchet chuckled at that. "Oh, you didn't notice me when Ruby called you that this morning?"

At hearing that Cliffjumper put a hand on his face and groaned. "Why?"

At seeing his reaction to the nickname all the other bots except for Optimus were now smirking with an evil look in their eyes. Which Cliffjumper saw this and he now had a look of fear. "Oh, scrap."

Later on that night Ruby was waiting at Jack's home to get picked up. Dinner went well although June was somewhat unsure of Miko. But Ruby and Raf made her feel better about who Jack is spending time with. Ruby chuckled at the memory of Miko going on and on about random things. * I think June may be happy that Miko's host parents were the first ones to pick up one of us.*

Which a bit later Raf's dad came by and picked him up. So it was just Ruby with June and Jack. And Ruby was keeping an eye out for one of the bots. Which just at that moment she saw Optimus pull up. "My ride is here so I should get going."

Ruby walked to the door and got there before June and Jack got to where she was standing before. She turned around and bowed her head. "Thank you for having me over Mrs. Darby."

At seeing this confused June but Jack had some idea as to why she did that and he taped his mom's arm which got her out of her stupor. "Oh, right it is no problem at all sweetie."

Ruby stopped bowing and looked at Jack. "See you at school Jack."

"Yeah, see ya."

And with that Ruby ran over to Optimus and got in. Which as soon as she did Optimus drove off.

June watches Ruby's ride go and then looks at her son. "Ruby seems nice."

"Yeah and she is fun to be with and smart as well."

At hearing that June gaved him a knowing smile. "So do you like her as a friend or?..."

At hearing what his mom ask him, he gaved her a horrified look. "No mom we are just friends besides I like another girl!"

At that moment Jack realized what he just said and regret saying it. Because as soon as he looked at his mother he could tell that she was going to tease him and bug him until he told her who it was and even then would still tease him about it.

A few weeks later on a Thursday after school, the Autobots were planning to go out and look for Energon. But today something felt off to Ruby for some reason, and she didn't know why but she felt it had to do with Cliffjumper. So she walked up to him. "Hey, Cliff can I come with you?"

Cliffjumper looked at her for a moment and then to Optimus who nodded his head of approval. "Sure kid."

He then went into his alt mode and opened one of his doors. "Hop on."

And with that Ruby got in him and the ground bridge opened and the two were off to New York.

Soon as the two got to New York Cliffjumper decided to have some fun with Ruby. So he first drove to New York City, which didn't go unnoticed to Ruby. "Um... Cliff? I'm pretty sure that there is no Energon in the Big Apple. At least not unless there is some Decepticons or an Autobot that we don't know of hiding out there."

"I know but I also know that this Hershey's shop in New York and I thought you might like to shop there for a bit. Who knows when we will be here again. Might as well make it fun for you."

Ruby smiled at him as he found a place to park. And Ruby walked out of the car and saw that she wasn't too far away from the shop that Cliff brought up. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

"No, no take your time and have fun."

Ruby just started to walk to the shop. *Why do I have a bad feeling about today?*

As Ruby was in the shop some police see that Cliffjumper was illegally parked. So they got out and give him the boot, which by doing so made him forget about Ruby. So as soon after the police put the boot on Cliffjumper they started to leave. But as soon as they got a block away from him. Cliffjumper got rid of the boot and drove right past them. The police froze at where they were at and looked at each other. "We are never going back to that new donut shop again."

All the other police officer could do was nod his head in agreement. And the two drove off.

It was just then Ruby got out of the shop and saw that Cliffjumper was nowhere to be found. "Did he only bring me here just to ditch me?

She looked around once more to confirm that Cliffjumper was nowhere to be found. "Yep, he ditched me."

At that moment Ruby bad feeling just got a lot worse. *What should I do should I call him? No, if he did ditch me then he won't bother to pick up. Should I call Optimus? No, he will just call Cliffjumper and if Cliff is anything like Yang and Nora he will say that he will come back for me right away but then won't. I should just call Arcee. She is at least still in Jasper, I just need to give her my coordinates.*

With her mind made up, she grabbed her scroll and began to call Arcee. Which she soon picked up. "Ruby, is Cliffjumper picking on you or something?"

"Something like that...Listen can you send me a ground bridge?"

"What did Cliffjumper do to you that you don't want to be with him anymore?"

"Oh, it's the other way around. He took me to New York City told me to go to this shop and when I got back he was gone. I think he ditched me. If he was trying to get Decepticons away from me he would have called. But he is nowhere to be found and he didn't call me or leave me one message. So my best guess is that I got ditch and don't bother calling him and asking to come back for me. If he is anything like some of my friends he will say he will come back but then won't until much later."

"I see... Well, it will be a little while because I have to drive back to base.

"Okay."

Arcee stayed in contact with Ruby just to play it on the safe side. Once she got back to base she looked up where Ruby was. "I picked up on your coordinates do you see an alley?"

"Yes, Arcee."

"Do you see anyone in it?"

"Not from what I can tell."

Just then a ground bridge showed up. "Go through the ground bridge."

"Alright, Arcee."

And with that, she walked into the ground bridge.

As soon as Ruby got back to base Arcee turned back into her alt mode and Ruby got her helmet that she uses when she is with Arcee and got on. Then Arcee drove them out of the base as they got outside Arcee began to call Cliffjumper who picked up right away. "Hey, Arcee hows it going?"

"I'm doing fine. But the more important question is did you lose something?"

Cliffjumper was driving "No I don't think so?"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure! Hey, you should hear what happened a while ago. So there I was waiting for Ruby when all of sudden this light show came in from my review mirror and then it hit me. I'm illegally parked."

Ruby stayed quiet and Arcee decided to see if Cliffjumper will admit that he ditched Ruby. "Another ticket?"

"Even better the boot."

"Big metal tire clamp impossible to remove."

"Bingo so I let the police do their thing and let them go up a block. That's when I ditched my new shoes and then..."

"New York finest soil themselves."

"Hey, mess with Cliffjumper and.."

"And you get the horns."

Ruby and Arcee could hear Cliffjumper laughing. "Not sure how that complies with Autobot rule number one keep a low profile."

"What can I say, it gets lonesome looking for Energon in dullsville. Almost makes me miss the Decepticons."

"Like Jasper, Nevada is a party. We are alone where ever we are on this rock Cliff. But hey Cliff at least Optimus let you take Ruby with you. Speaking of Ruby, is she okay I would have thought that she would have spoken up by now?"

At that moment Cliffjumper finally realized that Ruby wasn't there. *Scrap! I left Ruby at that shop in New York City!*

Ruby wanted to let out a full out laughter at that moment but Arcee gave her a signal telling her that she was not done messing with Cliffjumper. "Cliff? Is Ruby okay?"

*What do I do?! If Cee finds out I'm dead!*

"Cliff, nothing happen to Ruby right? Both Vector Prime and Optimus would kill you if anything happens to her. Especially since Vector Prime himself asked Optimus to protect and train her."

Just then Cliffjumper picked up something. *Saved by the bell.*

"Hang on I just picked up a signal."

"Need backup?"

"Do I ever?"

*Besides as soon as I get done checking this out I got to go back for Ruby! And need to find a way to get her not to tell anybody about me leaving her at that shop!*

Cliffjumper went off the road and started to head to the signal.

Meanwhile with Arcee and Ruby. Ruby's bad feeling she felt after school came back in full force and she didn't like what she was starting to remember so she started to whisper to Arcee so Cliffjumper couldn't hear her. "Hey Arcee, I'm getting a bad feeling about this. And I think it is about Cliff?"

Arcee whispered back to her. "What do you mean?"

"You remember the day I said something bad will happen with Cliff and Energon?"

"Yes...?"

"I think that it is going to happen today and really soon."

At hearing that Arcee was about to call Optimus when Cliff spoke up. "I just found a whole lot of Energon."

As Cliffjumper said that the Decepticons warship showed up. "Decepticons!"

As soon as he said it one of the ship's blaster hit him and he landed by the Energon. Then one of the ships doors open and some Decepticons come out of it. All of them landing on top of the ledge looking down at Cliffjumper. *Ruby is going to have to wait.*

"Arcee... About that backup?"

As soon as he said that he knew she was calling the others. So Cliffjumper focuses more on the Decepticons that were in front of him. "Fair warning... I'm going to leave some dings in ya."

He then started to fight the Decepticons.

At that moment Arcee called out to Optimus as well as the others could hear as well. "Arcee to Optimus! The Cons are back and Cliff might be neck deep in Scrap!"

At hearing that it was Cliffjumper who was fighting the Decepticons Optimus began to fear for both Cliffjumper and Ruby's life. *Why did I let her go with Cliffjumper? She said something bad will happen that involves him and Energon. And what are we doing today looking for Energon! Ruby normally asks Arcee or me when we go looking for Energon and sometimes Bulkhead and Bumblebee. Heck one time she went with Ratchet but that was after she heard where he was going. But she never until now asks Cliffjumper if she can go with him and she didn't know where he was being sent! I should of know it was today and that she was getting a bad feeling about this. If anything happens to either of them then it is on me.*

"Understood, Ratchet do you have a lock on Cliffjumper?"

"I have a fix on his single but we are all in different time zones!"

At that moment Ruby finally remembered what was going to happen today. "Optimus!"

"Ruby, aren't you suppose to be with Cliffjumper?"

"He took me to the Big Apple and left me at a shop some time ago. But that isn't important right now. What is important is I just remember what is going to happen today and we need to get to Cliff now!"

"Ruby..."

"If we don't hurry he will die!"

At hearing that all of the Autobots had a sense of dread and Optimus thought that talking about what Cliff did to Ruby could wait. Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee return to base and prepare to ground bridge."

Cliffjumper wasn't doing so well against the Cons at some point after he lost one of his horns he started to use his blasters and so did the Cons. This led to the Energon to explode and caught Cliffjumper in it. Which soon after the Cons took Cliffjumper to their ship where Starscream was watching the whole thing. "The Energon its useless to me now."

After he said that the Decepticons that had Cliffjumper showed up with him and dragged him to Starscream. "Scream it been a while. Cough...Cough. So where is your master?"

"Never mind him! I'm my own master!"

At that moment with his bare hands, Starscream pierced into Cliffjumper's chest. "Ahhh!"

Starscream then leaned down to Cliffjumper. "Have any more questions?"

He then slowly pulled out his hands and Cliffjumper began to fall down. *I'm sorry everyone looks like I won't be there to help you guys with Ruby.*

And with that, he became one with the Allspark for now. Starscream looked down at Cliffjumper. "Clean that up!"

When the Autobots Optimus saw Ruby with Arcee and felt relief that at least she was okay. "Autobots per pair for ground bridge!"

"Right!"

Ruby was about to head to the ground bridge when Optimus spoke up. "Ruby you stay here."

"But, Optimus I want to help Cliff's life is on the line! If I had remembered sooner this wouldn't have happened!"

"No, it isn't your fault you tried to warn us but I just didn't figure it out. If anyone is to blame it is me."

"Um... Optimus... Your me so isn't the blame still on me?"

At hearing that all Autobots looked at her at a loss for words. Just then the ground bridge opened and Optimus looked at Ruby. "We will talk about this later but for now stay here."

And with that, all but Ruby went into the ground bridge. As the ground bridge closed Ruby talked to herself. "I should have pulled a Miko."

As the battleship flew off a ground bridge opened and each Autobot came out ready to fight for Cliffjumper's life. But to their disappointment, they only saw what was left of the Energon. "An untapped Energon deposit."

"Whats left of it." Bulkhead said as he looked around in hopes to finding Cliffjumper.

"The first Decepticons sighting in three years."

Optimus looked at Ratchet. "That we know of. If they are looking for Energon then I fear that Ruby is right and Megatron will soon return to earth."

As soon as he said that all of the Autobots started looking for Cliffjumper hoping that they can stop him from dying. But as soon as Arcee found one of Cliffjumper's horns and picked it up. "No..."

*Don't tell me we are too late?!*

She then showed the horn to Ratchet which Optimus saw as well. "Ratchet can you track Cliffjumper's position?"

As soon as Ratchet started to look he saw that Cliffjumper life signal going offline. "No. Cliffjumper's life signal just went offline."

Meanwhile, Soundwave walked over to Starscream. "Soundwave what is it?"

Soundwave started to play a recording. "Like Jasper, Nevada is a party. We are alone where ever we are on this rock Cliff."

Soundwave purposely left out the Ruby part thinking that that info should first be given to Megatron as well as the fact that he hated Starscream to the core. "Ahh, the one called Arcee. Why just stop at killing one Autobot? When we still have the element of surprise."

When the Autobots came back and Ruby saw that they didn't have Cliffjumper she began to cry. "Ruby it isn't your fault..."

"But it is Optimus! If I just remembered sooner he would still be here now he is gone like Penny and Pyrrha!"

Arcee wanted to go and wander around by herself but she just couldn't leave Ruby like this since she knew what Ruby was going through. "Ruby it isn't your fault."

"But, Arcee..."

"No didn't Vector Prime say that you'll remember Optimus's past before he the day you came into our lives in your sleep. But anything that comes after we meet you will come slowly and only fully remember as it happens?"

"Yeah, but..."

"And even though you and Optimus are one in the same you two live different lives and you can't blame yourself for what Optimus dous with his life. You two just as differnt from each other you're just getting his memories so that you know what to do when you get back to your time. So don't compare yourself to Optimus because even though your one person your not one in the same. It isn't either yours or Optimus fault today it is the Cons fault and don't you ever forget it."

Ruby looked at Arcee for a moment and nodded her head. "Alright, Arcee."

And with that, they all went up top to give Cliffjumper a proper funeral.

Optimus speech for Cliffjumper and Arcee placed horn on the ground and once she did that she began to walk away and Optimus tried to stop her. "Arcee..."

"If Cliff is gone it's useless just standing here and being depressed won't bring him back. So I think it is best that I go back to protecting the humans."

And with that Arcee went into alt mode and began to drive off. Ratchet walked up to Optimus. "Optimus, protecting the humans will only result in more tragedy."

At that moment Optimus looked down at Ruby. "Your opinion is noted."

At that moment Bumblebee walked up to Ruby. [Hey Ruby want to go for a ride?]

Ruby looked up to him. "Yeah, sure I guess."

Bumblebee now went into his alt mode and let Ruby in him. "Hey Bee can we go to KO's? I kind of want to talk to Jack."

[Sure.] And the two went off.

Arcee was driving into Jasper and let her hollow form out. As she was driving two Con cars came up from behind her. "Twins."

She then went to the KO burger place to hide she even turned off her hollow form. Which at that moment Jack walked out of KO and his cell went off. "Hey, mom just got off work. No, I'm not going to the dance past experience has told me that I shouldn't be cutting rugs unless I'm installing them. Be safe? Mom seriously this is Jasper, Nevada. "

At that moment is when he saw Arcee. "I love you."

At that moment Jack ended the call with his mom and started to walk to Arcee which she wasn't happy about it. *Oh great just my luck.*

Jack was admiring Arcee when Sierra came out of nowhere and began to talk to Jack. "Are you talking to your bike?"

"No!... I mean...Yes... So how have you been Sierra?"

"You know my name?"

"We're in homeroom together."

At that moment the two Cons started to show up again, and Arcee was getting a little worried. *Come on lover boy hurry it up.*

"I'm Jack Darby, I sit next to my friend who is Ruby Rose."

At hearing Ruby's name Arcee wanted to hit herself. *Oh for the love of! Out of all the boys, Ruby had to be friends with she had to pick one that is a bike lover!*

But for Sierra hearing, Ruby's name brought her a little bit of disgust. *Oh her.*

"Oh, the girl that all the boys are going nuts for. So how did you get her to sit next to you?"

"Oh we met at a shop during the summer and when she told me that she was new I told her that she could come to me if she needed anything. And when school started the other boys were kind of scared her a bit so when she saw me she thought it would be best to sit next to me since she knew me a little bit..."

Just then the car lights from the Cons lite up and it scared the two girls away and made Arcee drive off with Jack on her. "Hey! Wooo!"

At that moment Bumblebee and Ruby almost made it to KO's when they saw Sierra and her friend running away from something. That was when Ruby remembered that on the same day Cliffjumper died was the day Jack and Raf meat the bots. "Oh, scrap Bee we need to hurry Arcee and a classmate of mine is in trouble!"

[Why would one of your...?]

"I just remembered that Arcee ends up haveing to deal with Cons while my friend Jack is holding on for his life on her! So can we go find them now before they get themselves killed?!"

and with that Bumblebee drove off looking for Jack and Arcee.

Meanwhile "Don't let go!"

At hearing Arcee's voice freaked out Jack even more. "Who said that?!"

As the Cons were trying to get Arcee they called Starscream. "Commander we found her and she is accompanied by a young youth."

"Destroy them both!"

As soon as Arcee got into an alleyway Jack got off of her. "What are you?!"

"I don't exist, tell anyone about me and I will hunt you down."

And with that, the two went their own ways at least until Arcee saw one of the Cons going after Jack. "Scrap! Ruby is going to freak if anything happens to another friend of hers so soon."

So she turned around to save Jack.

As Jack was Running for his life he began to curse himself for this. *I just had to go on a random bike. That is more than likely a ghost bike fighting ghost cars!*

He looked back to see one of the said cars. "I don't even know her!"

Just then the bike that got him into this mess came out of nowhere. "Hop on!"

*Well it is either her or the car!* So with only two choices, he hopped onto the bike and she drove off with the two cars after them.

"Woo!"

At that moment the Cons started shooting at them. "Why are those guys shooting at us?!"

"Their no us kid and they ain't guys."

Just then Bumblebee showed up and tried to get the Cons off their backs. Jack looked at the yellow car for a moment. "Friend of yours?"

"Family."

At that moment Ruby started to make a call. "Optimus two Cons are going after Arcee! Bee and I are with trying to get the Cons aff her back but might need back up can you send Bulkhead to us?"

"Will do Ruby and be careful."

"I will."

Just then one of the Cons hit Bumblebee and it made him spin. "Ahhh!"

Soon the spinning stopped. [You okay Ruby?]

"Yeah, I'm fine."

At that moment Raf was playing with his toy car and his mother calls him. "Hey, mama racing just up the street...Okay, five more minutes."

Just then his friend Jack came out of nowhere on a blue bike. "Wow..."

Jack looked up and saw Raf sitting their. "You have no idle."

Jack got off the bike and the two purple cars showed up and came down to them. Which then the cars took on giant male humanoid robots form. Soon the blue bike joined in and the changing into giant female robot form. "This ends here Cons."

The two Cons started to shoot at Arcee as she was running to them. She got close to them and started to hit them. "This is for Cliff!"

After she got done hitting them she started to get away from them as they tried to hit her with their blasters. Which as some point they did get a hit on her and she fell back. Just then Bumblebee showed up and Ruby got out of him in her huntress wear and Bumblebee changed from car form to his bot form. and landed on one of the Cons. Ruby then ran to Arcee. "Arcee are you okay?!"

Arcee looked at Ruby. "Yeah, I'm fine! Go and protect the human!"

*Oh boy she forgot about Raf or didn't see him yet.*

Ruby nodded her head. "Okay."

And with that Ruby ran to Jack and Raf.

At that moment Bumblebee got off one of the Cons and walked backward on to Raf's toy car. [Sorry]

"It's okay really."

Just then Bumblebee got hit by a blaster and fell down and one of the Cons stepped on his head and Raf didn't like that. "Leave him alone!"

At that moment the three Bots looked at him and Jack. "Please?"

Jack leaned down to Raf. "Bad call."

One of the two Cons started to walk to Raf and Jack when out of nowhere rose petals showed up and Ruby started to hit the Con that was going to walk up to them. She then landed in front of the two boys who recognized her right away even with a whole new look. "Ruby!"

Ruby looked at the boys. "Come on!"

She then grabbed their hands and started to take them to a sewage tunnel which the Con that Ruby hit started to get back up and went after them. As soon as the three got into the tunnel the Con started to reach one of its hands at the three when Bumblebee grabbed the Con and took it out at least for a moment. Raf looked back and saw Bumblebee. [Now you two listen to Ruby. She knows what she is doing.]

"Thank you."

[Your welcome.]

And with that Bumblebee went back to the fight. And Jack grabbed Raf and Ruby kept her Crescent Rose in gun mode aim at where the three had entered the sewer just in case one of the Cons tried anything after Bumblebee left. "Don't look back."

"What did we just see?"

"Don't know and I don't know if I want to find out."

The two boys started to run and soon Ruby joined them. "Besides it's a long story."

At hearing that Jack looked at Ruby in shock. "Wait you know what is going on Ruby?!"

Ruby looked back to make sure no Cons was going to shoot at them then back at Jack. "More than you know and as I said it is a long story. One that I don't feel like talking about today. Maybe tomorrow you can learn more about this."

As the fight went on Bumblebee was starting to take a lot of hits and at some point got hit so hard that he landed by Arcee who helped him up. The two started to get ready for more when Bulkhead finally showed up. "Who ready to rumble?"

At that moment the two Decepticons turned into cars and left. Bumblebee let out a sigh of relief that the Cons were gone and Arcee looked at Bulkhead."What took you?"

"Traffic."

At that moment Bumblebee gave Bulkhead a really look. And at that moment Bulkhead noticed someone was not with them. "Um...? Wheres Ruby?"

At that moment Arcee started to panic, worried that the Cons took her. [She went with the two boys. I think she is taking them each to their homes right now.]

Which Bumblebee was right. After Ruby changed her look the three went off to get Raf home and once they got there and said their goodbye to the young boy. Ruby started to walk Jack home. Jack kept on looking at Ruby and Ruby at first tried to ignore it. But at some point Ruby had it. "Yes, Jack what is it?"

"Is that truck that normally picks you up from school one of those things?"

Ruby looked at him. "One they are Cybertonians and two yes."

"That would mean your legal guardians are..."

"Robots that can turn into vehicles? Yep!... Didn't I say I didn't want to talk about this today?"

"But...?!"

"Look, Jack, you know that red Dodge Challenger that dropped me off on the day I met your mom?"

"Um... Yeah?"

"He was killed today by the bad bots that try and kill us today. So I'm not really in the mood to talk about it. So can it wait until later? I just don't have it in me at the moment."

At hearing that Jack felt sorry for Ruby and so he dropped the topic for now. And the two walked together quietly.

Back at the base, Arcee was complaining about what happened. "And the Cons would have been Scrap metal if it wasn't for the human!"

At hearing the word human had Optimus curious. Because one Ruby wasn't with them and two if Arcee was talking about Ruby she would have called her by name, not by calling her human. "Human?"

[Two boys they seem to know Ruby. And before you, and before you ask she was taking them to their homes last time I saw her.]

That helped ease Optimus's worry if only a little bit. "Two boys?"

At hearing this Arcee was trying to remember the boys. "I guess a second one caught us in action. I don't know was busy at the time!"

Optimus started to think about the matter. "If the Decepticons are after us. Any humans that are seen with us and mistaken as an ally will be targeted."

Just then Ruby finally called them. "Hey Optimus can you pick me up? Jack was the boy who hitched a ride on Arcee today and when we got to his house. His mom told me that it was too dark out for me to walk alone so she won't let me out of her home until one of you guys come and get me. And only you know where Jack lives. So again can you come get me? If you don't Mrs. Darby going to make me sleep over and I don't have my stuff for school tomorrow."

At hearing about Arcee driving around with Jack on her while Cons were chasing them made Optimus look at Arcee with an arch eyebrow. "Hey don't look at me I was trying to hide from the Cons when he decided to get on me and flirt with some girl!"

"I'm going to guess it was Sierra he has a thing for her."

At hearing that Optimus sighs. "I'll be there as soon as I can Ruby."

"Okay."

And with that Optimus leaves the base to go retrieve Ruby.
