"ORION PAX!"

Orion shuttered his optics and looked up apprehensively, expecting that it was an angry teacher. What he did not expect to see, however, was a furious Ratchet dragging a scared Arcee across the school grounds to their table at break time. Plenty of younglings were staring at Ratchet as he approached. Orion felt fear settle into his tanks – Ratchet was terrifying when angry, though he'd never yet been on the receiving end of the young bot's temper. What had he done, anyway? There wasn't anything he could think of, and definitely nothing concerning Arcee.

Once Ratchet got to their table, he pushed Arcee down onto a seat, and sat down exactly opposite Orion.

"You are the biggest glitch I know." Orion raised an optic ridge – Ratchet always tried not to swear.

"Ratchet, please." said Arcee, gritting her denta and covering her helm with her servos. "Don't blame him."

Orion decided to address the calmer bot. "Arcee, what's he talking about?"

"Oh, so now you're talking to her, are you?" Orion opened his vents and closed them a couple of times, unsure of what to say. "You fragging idiot, you were her only friend. Do you know what she tried to do last night?"

"Ratchet, no!" Now Arcee was angry. "You said you wouldn't tell anybot!" Ratchet's faceplates contorted. "He needs to know."

"I thought all of you wanted me to stop talking to her!"

"That was before – before all of this! Look, I was a glitch, too okay? That doesn't mean you had to be one as well! Do you know what she tried to do last night?!"

"No." answered Orion in a very small voice.

"She attempted-"

"Ratchet, shut UP!"

"She attempted suicide."

"What?"

He looked to Arcee with wide optics.

She leapt out of her chair and ran away.


Extremely short chapter, I know, but I felt that it should end with a punch. The rest will be as long as the previous two at least. What do you think? Leave a review!
