The Secret Valentine

"If it's not any one of us leaving these gifts for Katie, then who is?" Elita asked in worry.

"Teletraan-1 hasn't alerted us of any intruders," Moonracer said.

"Must be someone that can get past security," Ironhide said.

"Soundwave?" Firestar asked in horror.

"No, not even he can get past Teletraan-1's sensors," Ultra Magnus said.

"And the gifts are appropriate for her age," Hot Spot said.

"Just a couple cute plushies, some chocolates, and a little cute Valentine's Day card," Streetwise said. "Like what kids would give kids in a classroom perhaps."

"And I scanned them to make sure they were harmless," Wheeljack said.

"Okay, so now that we think about it, who could be infiltrating the base without tripping Teletraan-1's sensors and leaving gifts for Katie?" Optimus asked, worried about his little girl.

"What if it's someone that wants to kidnap Katie?" Sideswipe asked in worry. "Someone leaves gifts for the child and entices them to go with them."

"Although we know Katie wouldn't go with a stranger, I have to agree with Sides on this one," said Sunstreaker. "Even if Katie refused to go with a stranger, if they grabbed her, she wouldn't be able to get away."

Chromia sighed in worry. "Blaster, did Steeljaw or Ramhorn pick up anything at all?" She asked hopefully.

He shook his head as the two came out, along with Rewind and Eject. "Sorry, Chromia, but we didn't find anything," said the history-loving cassette.

Steeljaw growled before giving a whimper. "Steeljaw says he doesn't sense any ill intent towards Katie, so it may not be a stranger," Eject said.

"But they still are intruding," Ramhorn snarled. "I'll knock anyone away who tries to take Katie."

"Easy, Ramhorn," Blaster said before looking thoughtful. "Steeljaw, you're certain you didn't sent any ill intent?"

The cat nodded. "Perhaps it's Rachel or Charles," said Inferno.

Red Alert shook his head. "Rachel's still on bedrest from that bout with the stomach flu," he said. "Though Charles did call and say she's nearly recovered."

"A friend from school?" Bumblebee said.

"They don't know that she lives here," Skids pointed out gently.

"Whoever it is...we need to find out," said Jazz firmly. "Prowler, what do you think?"

"We could install a camera outside the ARK," Prowl replied.

"Maybe one of us should stick with Katie at all times," Moonracer suggested.

"But then she'll feel like we're hovering over her," Blades said worriedly. "We don't want her running away if she's feeling like we're not letting her do anything."

"I don't think Moonracer means that extreme," Groove said.

"I think she means more like we ask Katie to be within our sight at all times until the mystery is solved," First Aid said.

"Yes," Moonracer said before looking curious. "What Blades said...did she run away before?"

The Protectobots looked very sheepish at that. "Katie was in a terrible accident sometime back and the Protectobots blamed themselves for not being able to keep her safe, so they...became really protective of her," Ratchet said gently. "But they learned in the end that they can be protective, just not to the point that Katie feels smothered."

"Still, Moonracer's suggestion does have some merit," Bluestreak said. "And we should be upfront with Katie about it. That way, she understands that it's for her own safety."

"Agreed," Optimus said. "Hot Spot, can you and the Protectobots keep an eye on Katie?"

"Yes, sir," he said.

Katie came in right then. "Hey, they came back," she said, holding up a plushie of a pink dragon with sparkly eyes, a red balloon that said 'Happy Valentine's Day', a box of chocolates, and a small card that read 'Soar through the sky, Valentine.'

"Man girl, I'm getting jealous of you," Moonracer said with a chuckle. "That's the third set of gifts that have been for you today."

"Did you see anyone, Katie?" Ultra Magnus asked.

She shook her head. "I was going to ask Teletraan-1 if I could talk to Rachel when I saw the gifts there with my name on them," she said.

They all noted that she seemed confused and curious as they had told her it wasn't any of them leaving the gifts. "Katie," Hot Spot said. "For your safety until we figure out this mystery, we need you to stay in our sights at all times. The Protectobots and I will be watching over you."

She looked worry. "Spoty," she whimpered.

"Not that extreme," he said soothingly. "I mean that make sure one of us is within your sight. Like say if Blades is nearby and you're playing with your toys."

"We'll just be watching over you, sweetspark," First Aid promised. "We won't be hovering over you."

She looked relieved at that. "Okay," she said. "Do you think...it's someone we don't know?"

"It's possible," Blaster said. "But for now, why don't you let Uncle Wheeljack scan your gifts to make sure they're safe, okay?"

She nodded, understanding that was for her safety too and Wheeljack did a quick scan before nodding. "They're good," he said. "Just don't eat all that chocolate at once, kiddo. Don't need you getting a stomachache."

"Uh-uh," she said in agreement, shaking her head.


More gifts came in and the Autobots were getting worried because they still didn't know who was leaving the gifts and were starting to get a bit overprotective of Katie, who could sense it, but didn't argue as she was wondering who her secret Valentine was.

Optimus was in his office and he was worried. "Who could it be?" He asked himself before he closed his eyes tiredly, resting his head on his desk.

"Optimus," a voice called out gently and he opened his eyes, surprised to see Alpha Trion and Primus standing before him.

"Alpha Trion. Primus," he said, kneeling in respect.

"Arise, Optimus," Primus said with a gentle smile. "We came to assure you that Katie is quite safe."

"Katie's gifts are from a friend of hers, one that is taking care to not be found out quite yet," Alpha Trion said. "He means her no harm."

"He?" Optimus asked.

"It's someone you know too. Someone who is fond of Katie," Primus said. "He'll reveal himself when it's time."

"For now, you can stop worrying," Alpha Trion said.

The dream ended and Optimus sat up, blinking as he cocked his head to the side. "Someone who is fond of Katie and I know who he is?" He repeated. "But...who?"


Katie was sitting by the entrance of the ARK and playing with her new plushies while First Aid was nearby and watching her. Just then, Katie heard a chirp and looked up to see more gifts were a little bit aways from her, but something was flying away, something that looked familiar. "Huh?" She asked.

The healer of the Protectobots got up. "What is it, Katie?" He asked.

"I think...I saw...Lazerbeak?" She said in confusion.

First Aid scanned the area, seeing the bird flying away before seeing the gifts at the entrance. He scanned them and hummed. "More gifts for you," he said. "I think Lazerbeak might have delivered them."

Katie blinked before picking up the new gifts. One was a favorite board game of hers, a blue unicorn with silver stars on its fur and a rainbow horn, another box of chocolates, and a card in an envelope. She pulled out the card and felt First Aid's holoform appear beside her and she handed him the card, which he opened.

"You're no doubt curious about who I am,

Come meet me by the forest and I'll reveal who I am," he read aloud.

Katie blinked. "Can Lazerbeak write?" She asked.

"I don't know," her brother said before calling up the others, who looked at the gifts and at first, they were protesting about Katie meeting the secret admirer until they heard that Lazerbeak had delivered the gifts.

"Maybe we should all go and meet this admirer," Groove said. "We can hide and be ready to get Katie to safety the moment she's in danger."

"Okay," Hot Spot said. "Katie, at the first sign of trouble, you run to one of us, okay?"

She nodded and they were soon at the forest. The Protectobots hid while Katie walked out into a small clearing, clutching her new dragon plushie to her. "Hello?" She called out worriedly.

"Hello, sweetspark," a familiar voice replied and she gasped in surprise as a familiar blue seeker came out of hiding, a smile on his face.

"TC!" She exclaimed happily, running up to him and glomping his holoform that appeared in front of her. She giggled. "It's you, isn't it?"

He nodded, looking a bit embarrassed. "I hope I didn't scare you," he said worriedly.

Katie shook her head. "No, I was curious and confused, especially when my family said that it wasn't any of them," she said. "Though...why didn't you just come up?"

He looked a bit sheepish. "I wanted to surprise you and Lazerbeak agreed to help me," he said.

The Protectobots came out and smiled gently. "Thundercracker, we would have understood," Hot Spot said.

"We know you love Katie as much as we do," First Aid said.

"I know," he said, hugging the little girl and smiling. "I see you like the plushies."

She nodded. "And all the other gifts too, TC," she said, giving him a cute kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, TC. Happy Valentine's Day."

He smiled at her again, kissing her forehead in affection. "Happy Valentine's Day, sweetspark," he said.

The Protectobots smiled at this before backing away quietly, informing Optimus of the situation and deciding to let Thundercracker and Katie hang out for a bit while they watched from a distance.

After all, he was her friend too.


Happy Valentine's Day! :)
