Eva prepares for her day with the Autobots and for emergency mission pack. She stores them in her new extended packs on the sides of her bike. "Okay let's see. Guns check, ammo check, emergency ammo double check, brass knuckles check, tessens check, tanto check, notebook check, pencils… whoops almost forgot those. What's the point of bringing a notebook if you don't…" Eva stops in mid sentence. "I sense something familiar… something dangerous… something… sparkly?"

"It's been a while, Evangeline." A figure began to show up behind Eva causing a shadow for her to see. Eva turns to see a blonde girl in her early 20s in a pink shirt with blue comprise and black shoes. "And what do you mean dangerous?"

Eva giggles. "You know how dramatic I am with people. How are you, Taylor?"

"You know me, always traveling one place to another. I was in Florida when I heard that you now own your father's old shop. So I decided to pop right in to figure out what my old band friend was doing. I literally haven't seen you since graduation. How's life?"

"Like you said, I own this place now and I'm slowly gaining my confidence to make new friends."

Taylor puts her hands on Eva's shoulders. "That's great. Finally getting out of your element. By the way, does your hair still change color?"

"Yeah it does. It's still annoying, even if I'm use to it."

"Hey, you wanna go get some coffee and talk some more?" There conversation was ended when they heard a honk and saw it was from the green army car.

"Sorry, Taylor, I kind of already made plans today. But maybe we can chat later on this evening." Eva grabs her bike and brings it to the front.

"Don't forget your pencils." Eva chuckles and ran inside to go get them. "So hope to see you again."

Eva walks out of the shop with her pencils and puts them in her bag. "Yeah, after coming all this way to see me, we have to talk." She puts on her helmet and talks into her watch. "I'm going out Judy." See you later Eva. As the door closes, Eva watches her friend drive away. She feels a little sad about what happened. "Let's ride." The motorcycle starts and she and Bulkhead began to head for Base.

They catch up with Bee and entered the base. Miko was the first to speak. "Miss us, Doc bot?"

Ratchet rolls his optics. "Shouldn't they be at school?"

"On Saturday, we have the whole weekend off, to spend with you."

Eva chuckles then runs over to Optimus. "Wasn't expecting you to bail on picking me up, Big Rig, what gives?"

"Me and Arcee are going to explore the area of a cybertronian finding."

"And judging by you lack of telling me, you don't want me to go on the mission."

"The cybertronian finding is in the Artic."

"And now I completely understand why you didn't tell me. Thank you for not including me, I hate snow."

"Why is it so bad?" Eva turns to Raf. "I always wanted to see snow."

"I'm a Biker and snow + road = bad for bikers."

"Oh, but I still want to see it."

"I would invite you to join Rafael, but the conditions are much too extreme even for we Autobots." Optimus sees the sadness in Raf's eyes. "But I will bring you back a snowball."

"That would be awesome."

Optimus and Arcee walk through the ground bridge disappearing into the light. "Transport complete." Before Ratchet could say anything else, the controls began to malfunction. "By the Allspark."

Eva saw this and ran to him. "What is it Ratchet?"

"Something went wrong with the ground bridge." Eva's hair turns dark purple as she turns to the bridge. "Don't worry, Eva, Optimus and Arcee made it through. All we have to do is find out what is wrong with the ground bridge."

Eva looks at the screen where the artic find was. "What is that thing anyway?"

"A cybertronian pod, we don't know what is in there. Could be a cybertronian survivor, could be a weapon of mass destruction, or it could just be empty."

Eva stares at it, something doesn't seem right about it. "Ratchet, can I go look at it?"

"Usually, I would say no to a human youngling, but you have been through worse. Down the hall take a right and it should be the 3rd door to the left."

"Thanks Ratchet." Eva walks down the hall, which was big for a human. Sure she has been around the base before, but now she was getting a good look around. She usually knows the way without looking around, now she is taking a new route.

As she was walking, Taylor came to mind, even the rest of the band. After the tragedy of a prom, everyone was sent to therapy for what happened. At least, all but herself. Eva used a bit of her powers to hypnotize the therapist and managed to get out of therapy. When she heard everyone at prom was mad at her, she got the first ticket out of Jasper to study at the university. After three years and returning, she would figure all the people that were there would be gone and moved on. The last person she would ever guessed to be talking to her was Taylor. She dropped out of the band with 'no reason'. Not only that, but she too had a crush on Johnny and she probably blames her for his death.

"Grr what am I suppose to do?!"

"Turn right 3rd door to the left!"

Eva hears Ratchet down the hall and her hair turns pink in embarrassment. "Thanks." She walks in the room where the device is. The moment she walked in she saw the massive hole in the device. "I knew something was off." Then something began to rattle in the device. Eva jumps up to the hole and saw a small moving sphere. "Hello?" The creature turned around and looked at her. It had purple eyes, a huge head and yet a small body. As it jumps out, Eva let's go and lands on her butt. She looks up to the creature as it stares at her. "What are you? I've never seen anything like you before." Before Eva could think the creature flew over her head and chomps up a loose bolt. "Wow, so you are a metal eater. That's not good around here since most certain members here are made of metal. And judging by the size of this thing, there are more of you. We better take care of this before anyone gets hurt. Come on, maybe you can help me." The creature flew over to her shoulder as she walks out the room.

Eva began to play some Michael Jackson music on her mp3 and began to dance to the music. The small one flew off her shoulder and watched her dance. "Do you dance little one? Can you do this?" She began to dance like Michael Jackson. "HEE! HEE! I love Michael Jackson." The little robot began to dance like her. "And I can see you like him too. WHOO!"

Mean while in the background, Eva didn't realize that the others were in trouble. She probably didn't realize it because she was focused on another problem.

"People always told me be careful what you do, don't go around breaking young girls heart. And mother always told me, be careful who you love, and be careful of what you do cause a lie become the truth."

Some eyes began to pop out from the shadows watching Eva and her friend dancing to the music. "Wow, you are a really good dancer. I know I shouldn't, but I should really give you a name. When I wanted a dog, I wanted to name it Randy. It's English for Wolf shield. What do you think, do you like the name Randy?" The creature flew in the air and did a loop. "I'll take it as a yes. Come on Randy, let's go find you brothers and sisters." The lights went out for a second and she heard a girlish scream down the hall. "I didn't know Miko was afraid of the dark, I'll take that as an advantage later." Eva stops and looks around. "Ever have the feeling that you are being watched." Randy looks up to point at other small bots. "Whoa, I was right, there are more of you. Come on, come on out. I'm not gonna hurt you." Eva kneeled down so she won't seem so threatening. About 10 small robots began to fly down to her and began to smell her. "I guess you all heard me singing Michael Jackson down the hall. I guess we all have something in common." All of a sudden, she started to have a head ache.

A small Autobot was surrounded by Scraplets and began to dance. "So you guys love music, I guess we all have something in common."

Eva shakes head. "Wow, I never had one of those before." She looks up to the small bots. "So, you guys are called Scraplets." The Scraplets began to hide. "It's okay, I'm not judging. You eat metal, you can't help it, it's what you do. But you guys cannot be in the Autobot base because there are good bots here that are trying to save the planet from evil cons. If you help me get rid of the colony, I promise a place where you can stay and all the metal you can eat." The Scraplets all look at each other and then all of a sudden, they hear lots of other Scraplets flying above them and heading for the direction of the command center. Eva notices that the Scraplets that she was talking to earlier have disappeared. "Oh man, that's not good." She then feels a nudge on her shoulder and she sees Randy still there. "Come on Randy, we have to stop them." They run/fly as fast as they can following the screams.

Eva was shocked the moment she arrives. Everyone was trying to fight as many Scraplets as they can. "Stop it! You're hurting each other!" Eva's head began to shake a bit as her hair to glow green.

Ratchet stops when he hears Eva's voice. He stares at her when she starts to power up. "Oh no."

Eva had white eyes and her hair turns neon green. "Enough!" a ripple went through the base and everyone even the Scraplets froze in place. Eva then realizes what she had done. "Oh no, I… I did it again." She uses her power to move the Scraplets from Ratchet then unfreezes him. "What do I do Ratchet? I exposed myself in front of my friends."

"I think you will be okay. All I remember is seeing you powering up and as you can see… everyone was focused on the Scraplets."

"But if I unfreeze them, they will continue to fight. I can't let them do that, my mother wouldn't."

Ratchet looks at her with a surprised look. "How did you know your mother loved Scraplets?"

"While I was in the halls, I had a vision from my mother's past. She loved Scraplets and I am not gonna be the one to destroy all these little creatures."

Ratchet sighs then smiles a bit. "You remind me so much of your mother. I think I know a way for you to save them. Unfreeze everyone then run to your mother's lab and look for the device with the initials IB." Eva nods, takes a deep breath and unfreezes everyone.

Everyone continues to fight the Scraplets. "Come on Randy, I need your help." They run to where the hidden door to the lab is. "Look for that something that says IB." Randy makes a questionable look. "Oh um…" She gets out her and texts the letters. "This… look for this symbol. Can you do it?" Randy nods and flies around. Eva also looks on the floor for it. Randy makes noise to get Eva's attention. "What is it Randy?" She climbs up the ladder and sees that Randy found a white sphere with the initials IB. "Good Scraplet, now lets get this over to Ratchet." Eva lifts the device and jumps off the giant desk and the headed for the others but not before stopping her little friend. "Sorry Randy, it's best that you stay here before you get smashed." She ran to the screams and saw all sorts of Scraplets piling on top of her metal friends. "RATCHET!"

He looks at her as she holds up the sphere gadget. "Kids, get out of here, we have a plan." Ratchet limps over to Eva.

"We can't leave you guys alone."

Eva sees what IB means 'ICE BOMB' "Guys we gotta get out of here. Everything is gonna be fine but have to get out here."

Jack sees the worry in her hair and helps the other humans run. Ratchet grabs the IB and activates it. 3…2…1… the humans duck and the temperature decreased rapidly. When the coast was clear, the human look and all the Scraplets were frozen and no longer moving. The Autobots were lucky to be alive even though they are practically freezing. "Are you guys okay?"

Ratchet shivers as he get up. "C-c-c-circuits mostly f-f-f-frosted, but still f-functional. What about the Scraplets?"

Eva kneeled and tapped one. "Completely knocked out. They really don't like cold that much, do they."

Raf huddles near Eva. "Did we get them all?" They hear rustling in the vents.

"Hardly, these were just scouts."

"Aw man." Bumblebee leans down.

"So the others know we're here?"

Eva starts to pace around thinking what to do next. She wanted to help her friends, but she didn't want to hurt the Scraplets, and what's worst, her partner and Arcee are trapped in the Artic. She can feel her partner slowly giving in. Maybe she can save the Scraplets first and send them an isolated place with tons of metal. "That's it! Whoa!" She falls flat on her butt.

"Eva! are you okay?" Jack and miko help her up.

Eva dusts herself. "Like I said, I...hate...snow."

Just as she was about to talk, they have already decided to send them to the artic. It wasn't right having these poor creatures sent to there doom. Then she decided a secret plan. She was going to change the destination to send the Scraplets someplace safe, then rescue Optimus and Arcee.

"Eva are you coming with us?"

"You guys go ahead, I'll stay with these guys." Eva runs up the stairs and began to find a location.

Bulkhead was getting worried. "So, if we get…when we get the ground bridge open, do we send the creepy-crawlies out or bring our 'bots in?"

Ratchet realizes it too. "Optimus and Arcee will be fresh meat. If we bring them in first, the Scraplets will have no reason to leave. We'll need bait."

Bulkhead gets mad. "Where are we gonna get bait?! The Scraplets already helped themselves to everything in here."

"You don't have to worry about that guys. I have a great idea for bait." As she puts in the new coordinates, she could feel her partner calling for help. She uses her connection from the heart of Cybertron to help them.

Optimus and Arcee were almost diminished hanging on their life forces.

"It's been an honor serving with you, Optimus Prime." Just as she says that, a light starts to glow between them, warming them up from the frozen north. "What is that?"

Optimus starts to smile. "A miracle, Arcee."

Arcee sighs. "Eva really is her daughter, isn't she?"

Optimus was shocked what she just said but sighs. "Yes, Evangeline is Flameshot's daughter. But you mustn't tell her you know, she already feels bad because she thinks it's her fault her parents left us."

"I won't, but she has to tell everyone else sooner or later."

"I know… and so does she." He looks at the orb warming them up.

Eva tries her plug in her music player to Miko's speaker but she couldn't plug it in. She looks at Miko's guitar and sighs. She didn't have a choice, she picks up the guitar and plugs it in. All of sudden, the rest of the colony started to swirl around above them.

Jack and the other run in. "Ratchet, all systems go!"

"Let it rip! Hey what are you doing with my guitar?"

Ratchet activated the bridge before passing out. It was now or never. Eva played a loud note to get the Scraplets attention. She starts to play a guitar solo and her hair tips turn glowing blue as she began to feel the music. When she stops, she looks up at the Scraplets and one flies down. It looks at her dead in the eye. After about a minute, it calls out to the colony and they all fly into the ground bridge. Eva smiles knowing that the Scraplets are now going to a good home. Before the others could say anything else, Eva ran back up the stair to deactivate the ground bridge.

"Eva, what are you doing?"

"Getting our bots home." She enter the coordinates and opened the ground bridge. They look at the ground bridge for any sign of life. Eva's hair was turning dark purple.

Then limping through the bridge was two frosted bots.

"Arcee!" "Optimus!"

The two humans ran to their guardians in a warm-coldish embrace. Arcee looked around to see all the damage. "Whoa, what happened here?"

"Long story Arcee, let's get you warmed up."

All the bots were in the medical beds while the humans were helping out. Eva was in charge of the medical bay and she didn't take no for an answer. She also held a clip board just to look awesome. "Jack, how is the bio-circuitry status."

"Levels are rising ma'am."

"Excellent, reports on Bumblebee's electro-pulse and Bulkhead's interface patch."

"It's steady." "Looking good."

"Great to hear. With rest, team prime should be fully functional in two days tops. See I told you Ratchet, I could handle this. Now rest up so you can have our favorite Medic back." Ratchet chuckles as he lies back.

Optimus puts his hand on his shoulder. "She's right, after all, you did save a few lives today."

Ratchet looks at Eva. "That's nothing compare to what Eva did today. She saved the whole colony from being frost. She has the heart of energy and gold. Also, it was nice that the infestation happened… on a Saturday."

"Our human allies maybe small, but they are strong."

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Miko screams with her hair standing in end.

The boys got battle ready. "Scraplet?"

"Spider! Is it on me?" She began to slap herself silly as she frantically runs.

Everyone stares at her direction. "Did she just scream like a little girl?"

Eva puts on her thinking face. "Either she has a soar throat… or that wasn't her that screamed her earlier." She looks around at the bots. "So…who else has a girlish scream?"

Bulkhead scratches the back of his head. "Who knows? We probably will never know." All of a sudden, a scraplet flew to his face and he screamed like a little girl. "We missed one!" Everyone starts to panic.

"Wait, everyone calm down… I can handle… there's no need to…" Her hair starts to turn red. "SHUT UP!" Everyone stop and look at her. She takes a deep breath and her hair returns to black. "Don't panic, this one is different." The little scraplet flew down to her and nuzzles her. "This is Randy, he helped me today and I want you to respect him." She hugs him to her chest. "And if anyone tries to squish him, I will punch you in the face. Also, you should know that I'm taking him home so you won't be scared."

Optimus watches as she walks away with the Scraplet and smiles. The heart of Cybertron has picked the perfect holder.

Eva drives to a coffee shop where her band friend was waiting for her. She had called earlier to meet her there, but now she was nervous talking to her. But she took a deep breath and walked in.

"Eva, over here!" Taylor waves her hand and Eva smiles and joins her. "I can't believe this place still exsists. Remember our first gig here?"

"As I recall, it was karaoke night and Marissa was getting the jitterbugs before we started." They both started to laugh. Eva stratches behind her head. "Have you heard from the others?"

"Well last I've heard, Veronica has a baby who is one year old and before she could marry the dad, he cheated on her and now they're fighting for custedy over the baby."

"Ouch."

"Yeah. Marissa, she is doing great. She is in Law school right now and at the top of the school."

"We all knew she was very stubborn, but now she is using it for good."

"That is correct. Now Jasmine is living her dream."

"She got into Arts academy?" Taylor nods. "That's great news! Now, what about my favorite singer, what have you been up to, Taylor?"

"Well your's truly has been at the top of her game. Have you seen the last super bowl half-time show?"

"I'm actually not much of a football fan. You were on it?"

"Yes, and I was not only a dancer but I sung back up."

"That is very good to hear." Eva's hair becomes orange.

"Oh, I know what orange is. What's on your mind?"

"Have you... heard anything from Jessica?"

Taylor sighs as she picks up her tea. "Nothing, I even asked the others. No one has heard from her since prom. It's like she dropped off the face of the Earth." Eva's hair turns blue. "Hey, don't be sad. It wasn't your fault for what happened to Johnny."

"I know, but I've been having nightmares about his death receantly. How do I get over this?"

"You don't." Eva looks at her with white hair. "It's going to haunt you for the rest of your life. If you want to think about it, it's okay. You have to learn from your mistakes in the past in order to move on to the future, which is why I have a bodyguard in the corner of the room." Eva looks and sees a man in black staring at them. "Don't mind him. Any way, when the past comes to haunt you, you fight it with what you learned. As I recall, you saved the rest of the people from Jessica." She puts her hand on Eva's shoulder. "Johnny would be proud of you."

Eva smiles and puts her hand over hers. "Thank you Taylor, you were always the wisest in the band." They got up and hugged. But what she didn't say is that she doesn't feel bad for Johnny's death, but she feels bad for someone else's death...

Skyquake.

Once again I'm sorry about the delay with all sorts of obstacles and writer's block. But now I have finally been able to finish. Please no negative comment.
