Lots of sparkling action here. There is a brief mention of autobots, but really nothing else, sorry nothing major with them for a few more chapters. Thank you to everyone who has left reviews and added this story to their favorites and watch lists. Here's a cute chapter for you.

I don't own Transformers Prime as the show is owned by Hasbro.

Ch. 3: Little Adventures

At a month old, the two femmes were finally walking on steady feet. He thought it wouldn't be that difficult, but it really did test his patience and frustration. Once Phoenix learned she couldn't get enough of running around the ship. Elisa stayed close to Megatron and if she wandered, she only went up to Starscream or Soundwave. Elisa stayed by his side and he noticed she really liked it when the bridge was open to show the sky and the view. Her favorite was a night time view of the moon and stars as she just wrapped up into a ball in front of the monitor.

"Elliiiisa." He would call out sometimes. She just wagged her tail and looked up at him with a chirp. One day Phoenix was on top of the monitor watching her Carrier, when Elisa wondered over to Starscream. She stared at him for a few moments but he didn't notice her. She gently licked his leg and he nearly jumped with a shriek, but managed to stay calm as Elisa had done this before. He actually did scream once and scared Elisa away earning a shout from Megatron. He looked down and saw Elisa standing on her hind legs with her tail wagging. She chirped playfully before Starscream kneeled down and rubbed her head. She arched into the touch before she fell on her side and licked his fingers. He soon turned away and tried to work, but Elisa chirped again. Starscream looked at Megatron, who was busy with his own report. He looked at a happy Elisa again and he gently picked her up into his arms. He caressed her cheek and she kept on purring before she stood up in his arms and licked his face making him chuckle.

Megatron heard the noise and looked over at Starscream. He had to smile at Elisa's playful nature. It seemed Elisa liked everyone for the most part. Phoenix was pickier and got use to Soundwave, but she hated Starscream. She didn't mind Knockout or Breakdown, while Elisa couldn't get enough of them at times. Although he had to admit there was a lot less tension in the air with the presence of the femmes. His men seemed to be in a better mood or if they were angry they wouldn't be for long as Phoenix wanted to play or Elisa wanted to cuddle. Phoenix started to claw at him and he rubbed her head before he went back to work. Starscream placed Elisa on the desk and she just watched him with curiosity. He playfully tapped at her nose once in a while and she chirped happily in reply.

Once he was done with the report he did whatever work he could think of on the monitor so he could continue to play with Elisa, but he soon noticed the little femme sleeping. He looked at Megatron then back at Elisa and made up his mind. He had to go look over an energon mine in a few minutes anyway. He picked Elisa up carefully and she shifted into a more comfortable position in his arms before he walked up to Megatron.

"Master." Starscream stated getting his attention. Megatron arched an eyebrow at Starscream holding Elisa before he handed her to him with care. "I have to go oversee one of the mining operations, please excuse me." He said quietly so he wouldn't wake Elisa before he left. Megatron only nodded before Starscream left the bridge. He kissed Elisa's helm and continued to hold her in one arm as he continued to work.

Not a few days afterwards, Megatron started to notice a particular trait that they had inherited from their Sire.

Both femmes were going to be Primes.

Their heads were starting to get pointed horns that reminded him of Optimus Prime's antenna on his blue helm…well Elisa's did anyway as it was starting to turn dark blue. Phoenix was red of course. He was a little worried about Elisa's behavior as he caught her frequently staring at him and when he held her she constantly licked at the decepticon insignia above his spark. He took her to Knockout, but he said not to worry.

"It shows that the bond is getting stronger my liege. She can feel more of your emotions." Knockout explained.

"Well why is Elisa feeling it when Phoenix is not?" He asked.

"Well some dragons are more sensitive than others. I've even read that they can actually see your spark's energy around your body, like an aurora." Knockout said.

"What can she sense?"

"I don't know my liege. I'm not bonded to her." Knockout stated earning a frown from Megatron. "Well perhaps you could reassure her, my liege. Her behavior indicates she thinks something is wrong. You've always had a strong spark to begin with." Knockout suggested. Megatron nodded before he picked up Elisa into his arms. Knockout went over to Breakdown who was playing with Phoenix. Megatron gently stroked Elisa's face and she let out a whimper at the touch.

"What's wrong little one?" Megatron whispered. She laid her head down on his spark again and nuzzled it with affection.

Everything is alright Elisa. Megatron spoke through the bond to her. She tilted her head curiously at the new interaction. I am safe. He said gently. Elisa only squeaked in reply before she settled down. He scratched the back of her neck and she rolled over in his arms and playfully bit at his fingers. He collected Phoenix and soon the two were following him down the hallway. He decided to show them one of the mines.

However, they were both frightened by the groundbridge. Both femmes stared at the green circle as Phoenix tried to swat at it, but only growled in the end. Megatron chuckled and kneeled behind them. They both looked up at him with fright.

"It won't hurt you." He said to both of them. He gently nudged them forward and Elisa jumped in protest. Phoenix finally went inside the bridge making Elisa squeal in fright, but Phoenix quickly poked her head back out and was jumping with excitement making Megatron laugh. Elisa cautiously followed and Megatron not soon after and he watched them as they kept looking every which way at the bridge. Megatron made sure he got out first and the femmes quickly followed. Phoenix instantly spotted a minor and let out a high-pitch roar as if to fend him off. Elisa just kept looking every which way being quiet and sniffing the ground.

"Come on you two." Megatron encouraged and the two sparklings followed their Carrier. The dragons did receive a few glances but most tried not to pay attention. Megatron walked over to some large crystals and Phoenix instantly pounced on it with her front claws. She growled at it when it didn't move and with frustration she bit at it, but when she felt the familiar taste she instantly started to lick at it. Elisa sniffed it cautiously before licking it and she soon followed suite of her sister for a few moments before she wondered off.

"Elisa…" Megatron said cautiously. She looked back at him and chirped before walking a few more feet. He watched her curiously as she started to dig. Phoenix eventually went over and watched her before Elisa stopped and jumped excitedly. Megatron kneeled down and saw that Elisa had dug up a small crystal of energon. "Very good Elisa." Megatron said proudly as he held the crystal up to her. She took it in her front claws and started to lick at the tiny treat. Phoenix sniffed it, but she apparently didn't like that it was dirty so she went back to a larger crystal that would need to be cut down. Elisa held onto her treat for the entire trip as Megatron guided his daughters safely through the mine. Phoenix tried to play rough house with a worker, but Megatron quickly called her off. Megatron played with her instead as Elisa kept staring at the crystals. When the trip was finally over the two femmes slept well that night.

The femmes were two months old now and were starting to cause trouble. Their baby teeth were finally coming in. Phoenix was an absolute pain as she kept chewing everything including cables much to Soundwave's distress. Knockout helped by giving the femmes small thin metal rods as chew toys for them and even Phoenix was a hassle with that. She kept playing with it and making a large clatter with it every so often.

"Phoenix no." Megatron stated firmly every time she made a loud clatter. He had to make sure not to yell at them as Knockout told him they might see it as aggression and run away and hide. Even though he was sure Phoenix wouldn't think so, he was certain with Elisa she could do that. Soundwave was very helpful with Phoenix as he kept her distracted by using a tentacle from time to time. Elisa made no fuss and chewed happily on her toy. Knockout said that the baby teeth would soon fall out not long after they set in for the adult teeth so Megatron kept watch to make sure neither femme chocked just in case.

One day Megatron was walking to the bridge with Phoenix and Elisa following him of course, but Elisa got distracted by several workers in the hallway. Mainly she noticed Starscream was talking with them, orders of some type. Megatron kept walking as Elisa happily ran up to the seeker, making the other drones laugh and go, "awwwww."

"Elisa what are you doing here?" Starscream asked curiously as he picked her up. She licked at his faceplates earning more, "awwwws," from the drones. "Dismissed." Starscream snapped at them. Once he got to the bridge it was then that Megatron noticed Elisa was missing.

"Elisa?" He called out, but only Phoenix was present. "Stay there." He ordered Phoenix as he went back into the hallway. "Elisa?" Megatron called out again, but when he heard no familiar chirp he was starting to get nervous. He started to look about frantically left and right before he suddenly and literally bumped right into Starscream, knocking him off his pedes. It was then that he saw Elisa licking his face to comfort him after his fall and he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you doing with Elisa?" Megatron snapped with a frown.

"She came up to me, that's all. She must have seen me in the hallway talking with some of the drones and she came right up me." Starscream explained and he picked her up and stood up. Megatron quickly took her out of his servos and she squeaked happily at him as if nothing had happened.

"I still don't see why she likes you." Megatron grumbled.

"I'm sorry master, but you didn't want me to hurt your daughter's feelings did you not?" Starscream asked.

"Hmmpf." Megatron huffed before turning around and leaving, but he stopped short and let out a frustrated sigh. "Thank you Starscream." He said quietly.

"You're welcome master." Starscream said. Megatron started to walk away when Starscream caught up with him. "Lord Megatron…" He said quickly earning a glare. "I swear upon my own spark that I would never do anything to hurt Elisa or Phoenix." He said sincerely making Megatron stare at him curiously.

"And why is that?" Megatron asked.

"Regardless of whoever the creators are, I would never hurt a sparkling. It's unthinkable for any seeker to do such a thing." He argued.

"What are you saying?"

"Even though you don't trust me as far as you could throw me…which is quiet a distance probably…you can trust me with the femmes because I would never hurt them." Starscream said nervously and quickly.

"What do you know about caring for a sparkling?" Megatron demanded.

"A seeker has to know everything about caring for a sparkling once they are in a trine. I did just the same. They are teething right now and soon their adult teeth will start to come in." Starscream added.

"You really do like Elisa don't you?" Megatron said quietly.

"She makes me happy my liege." Starscream answered truthfully.

"I will…consider your statement." Megatron stated before he left and went back to the bridge. Phoenix instantly started to play bite with Elisa as if to tease her about losing Carrier.

One thing Megatron also started to notice was that while Phoenix wanted to learn only from her Carrier, Elisa wanted to learn from everybody. Soundwave was a good teacher to Elisa as he often showed her things on the monitor. Starscream kept his distance simply out of respect and Phoenix often liked to roughhouse with Knockout and Breakdown. One late night Elisa couldn't sleep because she had too much energy. He took her to the bridge with the open view and all she did was run around and chirp earning a frustrated sigh from Megatron. He knew there would be nights like this, but things had been really good so far for him, he just didn't know how to handle it.

Elisa was just happy as could be chasing the stars and calling out for her Carrier to watch. He couldn't help but smile at her gentleness, but it made him worry about how she would react to his nature in the years to come. Elisa chirped loudly again, drawing him from his thoughts and he looked down at her curiously. She playfully jumped towards him and then back, wagging her tail and waiting for his reaction. Megatron gently swiped out his hand and Elisa easily jumped away. They repeated the action a few more times, but Elisa showed no signs of tiring getting Megatron slightly frustrated. Thankfully, Soundwave came into the room and stood close to Megatron.

"She's being too playful right now." Megatron grumbled tiredly. "I have to figure out a way to get her to spend her energy." He muttered. Not a second later, Laserbeak dropped from Soundwave's chest and started to fly around Elisa. The little femme watched the bird with pure fascination as it circled her. Soon Laserbeak swopped by her a couple times and soon Elisa was trying to catch him. It was barely fifteen minutes before Elisa pounced gently on his back and he landed softly before Elisa licked at his back before rolling onto the ground and staring at him. She didn't get up as he flew right back onto Soundwave as she was finally starting to fall asleep.

"Thank you Soundwave." Megatron said with relief before he picked up Elisa. She chirped in Soundwave's direction before they left the bridge and quickly back into his quarters, where she immediately fell asleep.

On slow days, Elisa was playing with Laserbeak on the bridge and on busy days Megatron took the femmes out to a smaller mine to play with Breakdown and Knockout. Elisa, being more of a cuddlier, wasn't use to the rough house that Phoenix loved. It was only after a small nudge from Carrier that she went over to Knockout first. She whimpered slightly fearful, but Knockout gave her a few strokes of reassurance. When he started to tease her, by gently poking her nose she started to playfully snap back. Megatron was pleased to see Elisa was gradually starting to play before he looked over some of the operations. He already knew from Soundwave's report that this operation was going well and the mine would soon be dry, but it never hurt for some reinforcement.

When Megatron found that things were in perfect working order, he went back to the femmes and frowned at what he saw. Phoenix was biting at Elisa and kept pushing her away from Breakdown because she wanted to play with Breakdown. Elisa just wanted to play with everybody. As he walked closer Elisa was walking away when Phoenix bit at her tail making her yelp in pain and back away from her sister.

"Phoenix!" Megatron shouted making the femme look up and run to her Carrier. She stood on her hind legs and looked up at him happily as he frowned at her. "No Phoenix." He stated. She sat down and looked at him puzzled. "No bite!" He said sternly. He picked Phoneix up and went over to Elisa. She snapped at her and Megatron gently tapped at her nose to make her stop. "No Phoenix." He repeated. "You don't hurt your sister." He stated. Elisa whimpered fearfully, unsure of what to do. "Say you're sorry." He ordered Phoenix before he held her in front of Elisa, but Phoenix just stared at her. "Say you're sorry." Megatron said sternly again. Phoenix chirped at Elisa before she came forward and the red dragon licked at Elisa's head in apology. Megatron finally released her and patted her head. "Good girl." Megatron said softly. He glanced over at Knockout who was all smiles.

"Shut up."

He was heading off to a mine that he couldn't take the femmes too and Phoenix protested loudly.

"No Phoenix, you stay." He said gently, but she only yowled in protest. "Phoenix I will be back." He said a little more sternly.

"Creeeeeeee!" Phoenix chirped making him freeze. He looked down at her again and she jumped up in protest. "Creeee! Creeeee!" She chirped loudly. Megatron's grin must have been a mile wide as he realized that Phoenix was trying to say Carrier. He picked her up and rubbed her neck in comfort.

"That's right Phoenix I am Carrier." He said gently.

"Creeerrrr! Crreeeerrr!" Phoenix repeated before he placed her back down.

"I will come back Phoenix don't worry." He said before he finally left. Phoenix whimpered before she went over to Soundwave's station and laid down.

It's alright Phoenix. Megatron said over the bond and he received a pleasant feeling in his spark from his eldest. Elisa didn't seemed too bothered by Megatron leaving. He always came back and she knew he would this time too. So she sat on top of Starscream's station and gave his finger a lick or two when he teased her. Starscream knew that even though the mine was small, he didn't want to risk the femmes as the area was more open and exposed and he didn't want to risk them being caught in an autobot attack if that happened. Phoenix pounced on Megatron once he returned and stayed by his side for the remainder of the day. Not soon after Elisa wanted down and she licked her Carrier's leg in happiness. He rubbed her helm gently before he went back to work and she rolled into a ball at the base of the station.

Not two days later, the very mine Megatron had visited was ambushed by the autobots and the little supply had been taken. Megatron tried to hold them off, but Prime had a decent strategy this time and Megatron soon realized that what was left wasn't worth all that much. Once he returned his daughters were immediately on him with worry as they felt pain through the bond. Each was given a reassuring kiss and Phoenix instantly relaxed while Elisa did not.

It was long into the night before he put the femmes to sleep before reluctantly getting checked over by Knockout. In his room Elisa wasn't even asleep before she managed to crawl out of her crib and onto the floor with a little rough landing. The door immediately opened and Elisa sniffed the ground to find her Carrier. When she felt him through the doors of the medical bay, she scratched at the door to try and enter.

"What on earth is that?" Knockout snapped into the air before he immediately huffed his annoyance before opening it. He didn't see a drone, but a little squeak on the floor nearly made him jump as he saw Elisa run into the room. She quickly jumped onto the medical berth and crawled on top of Megatron and licked at his faceplates.

"Elisa…uufff…how did…stop that…you get in here?" He said as he tried to talk over her kisses. She merely laid down on his chest and rubbed at his insignia before purring as he rubbed her back.

"It seems your daughter has some concern my liege." Knockout said with amusement. Megatron let out a frustrated groan when he realized what he did wrong.

"I forgot to lock the door." He muttered as he looked at Elisa.

"Creeerrrr." She chirped softly making everyone gasp.

"Carrier Elisa, Carrier." Megatron whispered gently.

"Crrrraaarrrrr." Elisa said, trying to sound more like him.

"You're free to go my liege." Knockout said quickly and quietly. Megatron gripped Elisa as he got out of the medical berth and left with a nod of thanks. He got back to his room and locked the door this time before he placed Elisa in her berth and she let out sleepy whimper.

Goodnight my little one.

I'm also doing my best to make sure each femme has their own distinct personality. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Please read and review!
