Young Pandimala: What time is it?

Ultra Magnus: It is time to get up soon young one. You have a full chapter ahead of you.

Young Pandimala:...Oh.

Authoress: *confused* Aren't you excited about this Pandimala?


Ch. 1: Those Called Family

Pandimala's 1st P.O.V.

I felt safe and secure as I moved closer to the heat that was next to me. Usually, carrier and sire didn't let me recharge with them because their berth was barely big enough for the, let alone me. So…why were they now? As my wake-up procedures started to work, the first thing I realized was that this berth seemed a little softer than my creators. I doubt that they could…

My processor woke up very quickly as my optics onlined and I saw that I was definitely not in my creators' room. No, now I was remembering everything that happened yesterday. After I had gotten out of my window, I had made it about three blocks before I looked up and saw my Sire coming after me in his alt mode. But, I couldn't go with them. I really couldn't go with him. They were Decepticons and they were the bad guys. They were the ones who attacked innocents and had so much energon on their servos.

So, I continued to run. But, I knew that I was not going to get very far. I was running and I knew that my Sire was really fast when it came to flying and I didn't stand a chance. But, Primus must have been looking out for me when lightning suddenly hit my sire and I took the chance to get into some cover behind some rubble. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that Ultra Magnus…the one that the comm casts that I listened to every night talked about constantly, would find me. But, I had been scared of him. Meeting new bots…I wasn't good at that. Usually Carrier and Sire would introduce me and then stay with me as I introduced myself and got to know them.

Glancing to the warmth next to me, I felt my eyes widen in shock when I saw that the warm were Ultra Magnus' arms as the cuddled me next to him. Yesterday really had happened and it wasn't a dream. However, as much as in awe I was of the leader of the Autobots, I felt myself tense when his optic ridges twitched before his optics started to online. I wasn't sure what happened after he had saved me and he might have put me in a guest room. I sometimes walked in my recharge and, when I was at home…with my creators, I would sometimes wake up on top of the energon cabinet.

Once his optics were fully online, he glanced down at me and smiled. "Did you recharge well?"

All I could do was stare up at him and nod once. I was still in shock that I was with the leader of the Autobots! I continued to stare as he let out a laugh and sat up. "I guess it might be kind of a shock to wake up here. But, I don't have any extra berths in my house and I wanted to make sure that you would be alright." He then stood up and motioned to me. "Come on now and I'll show you to the washracks."

Thankfully, I was able to answer. "Thank you Mr. Magnus sir." I was confused as he let out a small sigh at what I said and so I scooted off his berth…and it was a big berth…before he helped me down and held my servo as we walked through his house. It wasn't as big as I would think it was. In my processor, the leader of the Autobots should live in a large house with multiple rooms and washracks. But, from what he said, he only had the one room and one washrack. "Mr. Magnus?"

"Pandimala," Mr. Magnus started. "you can call me Ultra Magnus if you want."

I didn't have to address the leader of the Autobots in a formal way? Why? He was a leader of an entire faction? "Why?" I asked him curiously.

For some reason, he laughed at my question for a nano-click before he answered. "Pandimala, the Autobots are a family. Now, some members of our family like the titles but I do not. So please, call me Ultra Magnus."

Like it seemed to be almost every time he spoke, I looked at him in wonder. "Ultra Magnus…why is your house so small?"

He chuckled as we reached the end of the hall and he opened the door. When I looked inside, I saw that it was the washrack. It was simple enough and I now wanted to know the answer to my question. "Pandimala, we are currently at war with the Decepticons. Resources are short and I would not think that it was right that I have a lavish living while my troops suffer." He then shook his helm and turned on one of the spickets. "Now, let's get you cleaned up."

Mr. …Ultra Magnus helped me clean off in the washracks and, once I was clean, he helped me dry off and then he showed me where his kitchen was. It was kinda funny, though, when he had to get three big boxes to put on my chair to help me reach the table easier. It felt so funny to be up so high. It was almost like I was flying! "Ultra Magnus," I started as I finished off the cube of low grade he gave me for breakfast, "what is the housing unit like?" I was worried about what the bot Ultra Magnus was talking about was like. Besides Ultra Magnus, I never met anybot without carrier and sire.

"It is a very nice place for you to live Pandimala. Joint, and her bondmate Blockade, were in a troop of my finest troops and they are loyal to the Autobots and respect its code. You will be safe and well taken care of with them. I can assure you of that." Ultra Magnus answered me.

I nodded and tried to picture what living in this place would be like. Nice Autobots who were friends with Ultra Magnus and who Ultra Magnus said were nice. Soon, I found myself smiling and giggling to myself. I couldn't wait to go now! Living with Autobots would be a new experience and I was almost ready to jump off my chair and leave. But, I had a little bit of low grade left in my cube so I quickly reached out for it and gulped it quickly.

Ultra Magnus' 1st P.O.V.

It was hard not to laugh at how fast the little one in front of me went from nervous to excited. It almost seemed like yesterday disappeared in the blink of an optic. But, I knew better. While Pandimala seemed alright for now, the shock of what had happened would hit her. But, until then, I was going to allow her to stay this happy.

As she finished her energon, I realized that she might have been the reason that the Decepticon forces had been having such a forward push against our forces. A new sparkling in their ranks would encourage any side if they hadn't seen a sparkling in a while. That was even more true in this case since my Autobots had secured the Well long before Megatron could get access to it. But, the femme must have come from a stolen blank protoform. I knew that there were a couple locations besides the cyber-ninja dojo that kept them, one location off world, and it would not be completely impossible for the Decepticons to get their servos on one for this femme's spark.

"Can we go there now Ultra Magnus?" Pandimala asked me as she looked up at me. On the table in front of her was her completely empty cube of low grade.

While I really didn't want to leave the little femme's company, I did have a council meeting in a cycle and the council didn't appreciate it when I was late. So, with a nod, I stood from my seat. "Yes Pandimala. Let's get you to your new home." I smiled as she cheered and ran for the front door. It was hard to believe that she had gone through the trauma that she had last solar cycle.

The two of us were soon out of the door and, once I locked it, I made sure to lead us down the almost barren path to the housing unit. There was a faster way to go but it would be crowded and that might make Pandimala uncomfortable.

Joint and her bondmate had been part of a team called Team Galaxy. It was a very skilled team of some of the finest bots I had seen in a while. Joint herself had been a medic working on the fields of Tyger Pax with her team. Her bondmate, Blockade, had been the team's scout and all the reports that I got back from the front said that he was very skilled in doing his job. I had personally met them when they got out of their boot camp. On their team's graduation cycle, I had struck up a conversation with the team and we kept in touch.

Glancing down at the seemingly energetic Pandimala, I knew that she was going to enjoy her time living with Joint and her bondmate. "Ultra Magnus," Pandimala started. I glanced down at her as she continued. "Why are you helping me so much? I mean, you are the leader of the Autobots. Don't you have more important things to do than worry about the well-being of somebot like me?"

Well, so much for her energetic stride. I guess she must have gotten herself overexcited and now she was worried about why I was helping her. Smiling, I motioned for Pandimala to stop before I knelt in front of her. "Pandimala, I am getting older. One solar cycle, I won't be here anymore and it will be up to your generation to make our planet a better place to live. It is my duty, above all else, to care for all Autobots, no matter their age or gender. You are an Autobot, Pandimala, and as such I will help you whenever I can."

Her face instantly had a smile when I said that and she ran up to me before hugging my leg. I didn't realize it until then, but maybe Pandimala's constant questioning was her way of coping with what happened. I would make sure I took time out of my schedule to come and visit her here. "Thank you Ultra Magnus." Pandimala finally whispered before she smiled and ran forward.

Letting out a laugh, I followed behind the femme and we continued this pace for another five clicks until the building I had been waiting to see came into view. "Pandimala, slow down we are here!" I called out to the little femme.

Pandimala slowed to a stop and looked up at the building in front of us. Since I was behind her, I couldn't see her expression well, but she looked amazed at Joint's home from what I could see. But, that awe, to my surprise, turned into a look of nervousness and I felt my optic ridges raise as she took a step back. After a click, when I got behind her, she turned and tried to dart away.

Pandimala's 1st P.O.V.

"I changed my mind! I don't want to go!" I yelped as I tried to run against Ultra Magnus' halting servo. Before, I had been really excited to come here and meet new Autobots and hear new stories and be free to become the Autobot I always wanted to be.

…But, now I was really nervous about what they were going to be like and I just wanted to stay with Ultra Magnus! "Now don't worry Pandimala." Ultra Magnus spoke in a soothing way. I calmed down slightly but still tried to get behind him. "The bots here are really nice and I know you will enjoy yourself here."

I stopped struggling against his servo but held unto it as I felt like I had scraplets in my tanks. "But…but I'm scared." My grip on his servo tightened as I looked at the house that was to become my new home.

"Pandimala," I looked up at Ultra Magnus and I felt better when I saw the comforting smile on his faceplate. He was really nice. "I understand that you are scared. It is always scary to experience something so new. But, you've been brave this far. Shouldn't you at least give Joint and Blockade a chance to show you that they are nice?"

Now a feeling of guilt welled up inside of me. I didn't want to go now, but at the same time I did. I wanted to meet them. They probably had some great stories to tell and I loved listening to stories. It was always so much fun when Mr. Starscream would talk…

I mentally shook myself out of thoughts on Mr. Starscream and looked forward at the building. It was now looking a little intimidating but, with an encouraging push from Ultra Magnus' servo, I slowly walked with him inside.

When we got inside, I was relieved that the housing unit was just another house and it looked really cozy and friendly. Immediately, I smiled when I continued to look around and saw that the place was clean and seemed to just have energy bouncing off the walls.

Sounds of screeching metal caused me to jump and hide behind Ultra Magnus as the sound of running came closer to us. This was starting to get scary and I was nervous about this place again. But, Ultra Magnus wasn't going anywhere so I didn't want to either. But, the sound of the running toward me was telling every circuit in my body to just run.

I jumped when a green car femme rounded the corner to the hall and screeched to a halt in front of Ultra Magnus. Something about her told me she was nice, even though she ran in fast enough to scare me like no other. Guess I wasn't really sure about this femme yet but, if Ultra Magnus was smiling, then it had to be alright.

"Sorry for not being here to greet you Ultra Magnus." The femme said to Ultra Magnus with a smile. "Got…held up by something and just got cleaned up."

From behind Ultra Magnus' leg strut, I was curious about what kept her but I wasn't going to say anything. I still wasn't sure about her completely. "It is quite alright Joint. I understand. However," Uh-oh, I had a feeling that he was about to bring me up. "let me introduce you to your new house guest." He then looked behind his pede and down at me. Scrap…I was discovered! "It's alright. You can come out."

Well, since he already pointed me out, I guess I didn't have any other choice. So I slowly walked out from behind Ultra Magnus' leg, while keeping hold of it, before I looked up at Joint. When I saw her smiling at me, I couldn't help but smile back. "Hi…my name is Pandimala."

My grip on Ultra Magnus' leg got tighter when joint quickly knelt in front of me. But, I wasn't going to run yet. I had to give her a chance. "Hello there Pandimala. My name is Joint and I hope we can become friends." Her smile then got wider.

It was so happy that I didn't even think as I ran up to her and gave her a hug. I liked giving bots hugs and she didn't seem to mind. Living here didn't seem like it was going to be bad. Actually, I was really sure that it was going to be a lot of fun.

"Well, it looks like you two are good now." I looked up at Ultra Magnus, and Joint stood up, as he said that. "I have to get to a council meeting now. Joint, do you have things covered from here?"

"Yes sir." Joint answered immediately, her smile staying in place.

But, my smile fell in worry. "You're leaving Ultra Magnus?" I felt like I was going to cry. I didn't want him to leave. He was my friend and I wanted him to stay with me. It was going to be scary without him here. I felt safe with him.

A sigh came from Ultra Magnus before he knelt in front of me. "I have to go back to my job Pandimala. The Autobots still need me as their leader." He then paused for a nano-click before he reached into his subspace. What was he doing? "Here Pandimala, I want you to have this."

Dangling from his digits was a pendant in the shape of a strange symbol. I found myself taking the pendant carefully from him and tracing the shape with my own sharp digits. "Wh…what is this?" I asked him carefully as I continued to stare at the pendant.

"When I was a young bot, I was exploring a dead planet that had never supported life, or so we thought. I was investigating a cave when I saw this image painted on the wall. It was the first time that I learned to not always judge something by how it looks. That symbol told me that there had once been life on that planet, even though other bots had said there wasn't. So I scanned the image and when I got back here, I had a friend of mine craft a pendant for me. Now I want you to have it." Ultra Magnus answered me.

Smiling, I nodded and held the pendant close for a click before I put it in my subspace and ran up and gave him a hug. "I'm going to miss you." I whispered quietly to him.

He, in return, pulled me in a little closer as well. "I'll miss you as well little one, and I'll visit when I can." I then watched, some tears in the corner of my optics, as Ultra Magnus stood up before walking out of the building. In that instant, I felt alone again. I didn't like being alone. I liked having bots around me that I could trust and right now there wasn't one with Ultra Magnus gone.

"Pandimala?" I turned to see Joint reaching her servo out for me to take, a smile on her face. "Would you like to come with me now?"

Looking at that smile, I realized that wasn't true anymore. Joint was a bot that I could trust and I knew that I was going to trust her more as I lived here longer. But, for now, I had to learn to trust her more. "Okay." I answered her with a smile as I reached her and took her servo in mine. I felt happy and safe while I was holding her servo and I knew now that I would grow to trust.

The two of us made it about half way down the hall before Joint turned to me. "Now, I'll take you to the living room so I can help blockade prepare the lunch energon. That will give you time to introduce yourself to the other younglings."

…Other younglings?

Vox's 1st P.O.V.

Boredom. That was all I could feel as I watched the feed from the hidden camera that we had hidden in the hall outside the living room door. The three of us loved to prank Joint and Blockade and, when Joint told us that she had to leave the room to meet with Ultra Magnus, we knew that we had time to get this prank together.

"Vox, how are the screens looking?" The black motorcycle mech with blue flames asked me. His name was Zarron and he came to the housing a few solar cycles after I did. I had been the first one so everyone was new to me when they came. I also knew how to set up the pranks against Joint and Blockade more efficiently.

I looked down at Zarron, who was staring up at me with his medium blue visor, before answering him. "Everything clear so far. She must have done something to get her into trouble." Our caretaker, Joint, always did get herself into trouble one way or another. But, she was a cool caretaker. Ultra Magnus came by a lot to talk with her and it was cool to see him.

"Zarron, help me with this!" The only femme in our little group asked Zarron. Her name was Tana and she was a silver armored vehicle femme with black stars on her shoulders and light blue optics. She was very hyper and loved making new friends. When she came here about sixty solar cycles ago, she nearly crushed Zarron and I in a hug when she introduced herself.

I had dark blue and dark gold plating and I was a speed car alt mode mech. My blue optics returned to the screen in front of me and I kept watch. One day, I wanted to be an intelligence officer and I wanted to practice as often as I could. Gathering surveillance was one way that I could practice here at home.

Movement on the screen caused me to jump slightly and I saw that Joint was coming back faster than we thought. Also, I saw something our size moving by her pedes…were we getting another youngling here? If we were then we were going to have to hold off on the prank. Didn't want to scare off a potential friend. "Tana, Zarron; put a pause on it. Joint's coming back and it looks like she has another youngling with her."

A wince traveled through me when the sound of clanging metal, most likely Tana hitting her helm on something…again, and that was soon followed by grumbling as Tana and Zarron made their way back out here. I, in turn, covered up the screen and got back to the main floor before sitting down with Tana and Zarron. We couldn't look like we were up to anything so Zarron took out some playing cards before dealing us all a hand and putting the cards in the middle.

"Have any twos?" Tana asked Zarron. Yeah, we liked go-sharkitcon…it was fun to play.

Zarron shook his helm and motioned to the deck. "Go-sharkticon."

Tana frowned and reached for the deck to grab a card. As she was drawing it, however, the door to the room opened and the three of us turned to see Joint walk in. But, I didn't see the figure that I had seen in the footage before. Was I just imagining things?

"Younglings, we have a new family member who is going to be living with us." Joint started. I was excited to be getting a new family member and that I hadn't been imagining things on the monitor. But, where was the youngling? Joint then turned to look behind herself before saying, "Come on out. I promise they are really nice."

Slowly, a femme youngling came out. She looked like she was a tank femme, which was rare in itself, and she was black with lime green markings. Her digits were sharp, not something I was used to seeing, and she had strange lime green optics. But, I was surprised by how tall she was. She didn't look that much older than me…if she even was older than me, and yet she was a good helm taller than me. "Hello." She greeted us nervously. I didn't know why she was nervous and I hoped she wasn't always like this. I wanted to be her friend and that was not going to be easy if she wasn't going to be open with us.

"Now, you three make her feel welcome." Joint continued after the youngling gave her hello. "I'm going to check in with Blockade and then get you all some energon." She then turned and walked out of the room.

Now it was just the three of us and the new bot. She looked nervous beyond belief and I knew that somebot was going to have to make the first move in introducing themselves. But, I wasn't sure exactly what to say. I mean, Tana was the last one to join our family and she didn't give Zarron and I time to get awkward because she ran up to each of us swamped us in giant hugs before introducing herself and saying that we were going to be friends.

A blur of silver rushed by me before I could stop Tana as she ran up to the femme and tried to give her a hug. The key word there was 'try' because as soon as Tana got close enough, the femme dodged Tana before she ran to the table with a shriek. It was impressive, though I didn't show it giving the situation, that the femme was able to dive under the table so quickly with how tall she was.

"What did I do?" Tana asked as she was frozen in place with a confused look on her faceplate.

Thwack!

She didn't have long to wonder as Zarron marched up to her and gave her a helm slap. "Tana, not everyone likes to be smothered by strangers when they first meet. Did it pass through your thick processor that she might be scared of us?"

Thwack!

Tana returned the hit as I made my way slowly to the table. "Don't hit me Zarron! I just wanted to introduce myself that's all." They were both now rubbing their helms.

I just shook mine as I got to the table and sat down in front of it. Underneath, I could see the femme staring back at me with a nervous look and she was crunched into a ball. "Hey, sorry about Tana there. None of us really have had the chance to make friends outside the three of us and so Tana was just really happy to meet you."

The femme stared at me for the longest time before slowly nodding. "You…you want to get to know me?" She asked me slowly.

I nodded and held out a servo to her. "Well, yeah. I'm Vox. What's your name?" I then sat there, unmoving, as I waited for her to make the next move.

Again, she stared at me, though this time more focused on my servo, and she continued to stay quiet for the longest time. "I…I never met anybot my age before…" She hadn't? That explains why she is being so hesitant. But, we were going to help her get over this shyness I was sure of it. "I…my name is Panidmala." She then reached her servo out and grabbed mine.

"Nice to meet you Pandimala." I smiled at her. Then, I looked behind me and saw that Tana and Zarron were waiting…well, Zarron was restraingin Tana from coming over here but I could see that he wanted to meet Panidmala too. So, I turned back to her and motioned behind me. "Do you want to meet the others? They're really nice and want to be your friends too."

Her grip on my servo loosened for a click and I saw that she was nervous. But, after a click, her grip tightened again and she nodded. "Yeah…I want to meet them." She then smiled at me and I smiled right back.

But, I felt like I should warn her about Tana. "Okay, but just giving you a helm's up Tana is going to want to give you a hug. Is that alright?"

Pandimala slowly nodded. "Y…yeah. Now that I know it is coming I'll be alright."

I could tell that she was still somewhat nervous but I helped her out from under the table and stood next to her in front of the others. "The other mech over there is Zarron."

Zarron nodded toward her with a smile. "Nice to meet you."

Then, I turned to Tana but Zarron had lost his grip on Tana and she ran up to Pandimala before giving her a huge hug. "Hi I'm Tana and it is so nice to meet you! I am so sorry that I scared you earlier but I really really really want to be your friend!"

At first, Pandimala looked scared of Tana and I was about to go in and pull her off. But, after a few nano-clicks, Pandimala gave Tana a hug back before saying, "My name's Panidmala and I want to be your friends too!" She didn't seem nervous at all after that. Guess it took one of Tana's infamous hugs to snap her out of it.

After a few more clicks, Tana finally let go of Pandimala. Since we were all going to be friends, I wanted to learn what she liked to do. "So, what do you like to do for fun?"

She looked at all of us and smiled before saying, "Well, I like to read, play go sharkticon, and I really like to play pranks." I was really excited that she like to play pranks but I didn't get a lot of time to think about it when something popped out from behind Pandimala's back and that caused the three of us to jump in surprise. Once I calmed myself down, I looked and felt my optics widen at what I saw. Behind Pandimala's back were, "Oh, and I've started to learn how to glide but once I learn to fly I really will enjoy flying if it is even half as fun as gliding."

I couldn't stop staring at her. She…she was a triple changer…That was so cool! That meant that, when she got older, she was going to be able to turn into a land vehicle and an air vehicle. "Pandimala…you can fly?" Zarron asked her as we all stared.

Pandimala looked slightly nervous but nodded. "Yeah…can not many Autobots fly?" She asked us with a confused look on her faceplate.

Tana nodded quickly. "Yeah, I think you might be the only one who can! That is so awesome!" Tana then smiled before going back up to Pandimala. "Nothing wrong with that. It just makes you awesome!"

Pandimala smiled and spun in a circle for us to see her wings. "I love my wings and I can wait to start flying. I bet it is going to be a lot of fun."

My processor then went back to the prank before I said, "Hey 'Mala." She looked at me and I only then realized that I gave her a nickname. I hoped that she would like it.

"Yeah?" She asked still keeping her smile.

Phew! That meant that she liked it. "Want to help us prank Joint and Blockade? We do it all the time and they think it is funny."

'Mala's smile widened before she said, "Yeah it sounds like a lot of fun bots."

So, with Pandimala's help, we finished setting up the trap before moving back to the ground and Zarron dealt us all into another game of go sharkticon. "Got any Prime's 'Mala?" I asked our new family member.

She looked at her hand before shaking her helm. "Sorry Vox. Go sharkticon." Pandimala hadn't stopped smiling since we told her that we thought that her being a triple changer was cool. I guess all she needed was some friends and now we were seeing her true self…and it was awesome!

"Tana, do you have any Magnus'?" Pandimala asked her.

We all laughed as Tana's faceplate fell. "Oh come on. Why does everybot always guess my cards?" She then begrudgingly handed Pandimala said card before Pandimala laid down the pair. Tana then turned to me and asked, "Vox…got any nines?"

Unfortunately for her, I shook my helm. "Sorry Tana, no nines on my end."

"Seriously?" Tana whined before she picked up her card.

However, before Zarron could go, we all heard a click as the door opened and the trap activated. A nano-click later, I heard Joint and her bondmate, Blockade, yelp as the pink and purple paint fell from the ceiling and covered them. Hey, it was a simple prank but it was so much fun!

The four of us fell to the ground laughing as Joint and Blockade wiped the excess pain off their helms before Blockade spoke. "Well, I'm glad that the four of you are having a good time." He then turned around. "I had a feeling that we would be getting a surprise so you all are lucky that I put your energon on the side table out here." We then stood up and I showed Pandimala to the table before the four of us sat.

Blockade and Joint soon joined us and put the energon on the table. The four of us grabbed a cube each and, as we started to drink, Blockade turned to Pandimala. "It's really nice to meet you Pandimala. I'm Blockade and I am Joint's bondmate."

Once 'Mala was done taking a drink, she set her cube down. "It's nice to meet you too Mr. Blockade."

Mr.? Guess she was used to being polite around the adults. But, we knew that Blockade didn't like to be called Mr. and so he would correct her. "Please, Pandimala, just call me Blockade."

Pandimala hesitated before nodding and taking another sip of her energon. After a few clicks, Joint looked at us and I knew what she was going to say. She asked us this every time we got someone new in our family. "Younglings, if you all wouldn't mind, would you like to tell us what you would like to be when you become adults?"

Zarron nodded and started us off. "When I get older, I really want to be a scout." Even though he knew that he was going to have the frame of a cyber-ninja, Zarron had his spark set on being a scout and there was no way that he was going to be convinced otherwise. It was his big dream.

Tana was practically bouncing in her seat while Zarron said what he wanted and, after he was done, Tana immediately got her wish out. "I really really really want to be a great warrior! Joining the Guardians is my dream!"

I saw a confused look on Pandimala's faceplate. Did she not know who the Guardians were? I thought everybot heard stories about them growing up? "The Guardians are an elite group of warriors who work outside of the chain of command in the Autobots." Blockade explained.

Pandimala then showed a look of understanding and nodded. Now, it was my turn and so I smiled before saying, "When I get older, I really want to be a great intelligence agent. I want to know all that there is to know so I can help my friends and family."

We all then turned to Pandimala as she smiled. "Well, I have given this a lot of thought so when I get older I really really want to be a Prime so I can lead my own team and help the Autobots however I can." Wow, she wanted to be a Prime! That was going to be a lot of work for her but I had a feeling that she was going to be able to do that.

"You know," Blockade started, "you four could make your very own team with those kind of goals."

My optics widened as what he said entered my thoughts. He was right and all we would really be missing was a medic, but not every team had a medic. And, even if we got new members for our team, the four of us would still be together. "That way we can always have each other's backs!" Tana yelled excitedly.

It was a surprise that she hadn't fallen off her seat yet.

But, I nodded at her statement. "That's right, because the four of us are more than just friends and comrades,"

Panidmala then took over. "We are a family."


Young Tana: Yes we have a new family member! *bounces off the walls...almost literally*

Young Zarron: *sighs* Tana, you seriously need to calm down. How many energon goodies have you had?

Young Tana: *pauses and shrugs* Don't know.

Young Pandimala: *confused* Is she always like this?

Yougn Vox: *nods slowly* Yes and we are starting to learn that it can be spread.

Authoress: *smiles* Aren't you four just the cutest?

All: *turn and look at Autoress with a look that says they are planning a prank*

Authoress: ...Uh-oh. *runs*


AN: And here is the next chapter! I hope you all liked it! I know that I did. Little kids are so adorable! And poor Pandimala, Tana scared her so bad that she had to go and hide! *Zarron helm-slaps Tana in the distances* Next chapter...well, I can't really say much about it yet but it will be time skipped to them about to go live at the academy and meeting some new bots (some old and new faceplates for you all) and I hope that you all stick around! I am leaving for spring break today and the computer will not be coming with me. So, that will be a week that I will be unplugged. I hope to update the next chapter of Reawakened Revolution when I come back next weekend. Until then though, please leave a review...even to say hello.

Well, until next time, TTYL! *runs to make sure that Tana does not kill Zarron*
