(Optimus POV)
It was her. It was actually her. After she had been captured by Megatron I almost lost all hope. She was my hope. I almost just wanted to give up my own life just because I thought that Rising Dawn gave up hers. But when I heard Megatron ask about her during one of our many battles, I knew that she was alive since she was able to escape. I just hoped that I knew where exactly she went. What planet did she escape to? I finally found out today. The moment I saw her I knew there was something different about her. She stood out way too much to be normal. After I saved her I got a good look at her, the realization hit me. Hard. It was her. The one who captured my spark so long ago.
And she was here. She invited me somewhere and I had to be there tomorrow. I was snapped out of thoughts when a hand was waved in front of my face. "Earth to Optimus, Optimus please answer," said Miko. I looked around and saw that Jack and Raf stared at me with curiosity.
"So, how do you know her? It's obvious that you knew her before she came to this school," said Miko. Instead of answering her I just walked over to my cybertronian body and got in. I quickly started the engine and disappeared down the block. The kids stared at me as I drove away. I did not look back.
After driving for some time I arrived at the base. Turns out the kids bridged there and already told the story to everyone about Nightglide and me. When I transformed everyone stopped what they had previously been doing, including Ratchet, I became the center of attention. I looked over to the children and saw that Miko was smirking.
Ratchet walked towards me. "Uh . . . Optimus? We heard that you met a new human today. And Miko told us that it seemed like you were friends before, is this true?" he asks.
I sigh. I could not tell them about Nightglide. Not yet. "I stopped a fight involving her today after school and we quickly became friends." I lied. I dislike lying but I can't tell any of them the truth.
It looked like they bought it. They started to go back to the activities they were doing before I arrived. I took that time and retreated into the halls.
As I was walking I thought about why she called me there. I checked the coordinates and it turns out it was a rollerblading rink. 'why would she want to go there? Unknowingly I walked back into the command room. I was so lost in thought I did not notice that Miko was calling for my attention. "OPTIMUS!" she yelled. "Yes, Miko? Is there a problem?" I ask. "No problem, not at all. But boss bot, can we go rollerblading next weekend?" she asks."If nothing important comes up, I do not see why not." "Can we take our guardians too?" she asked. "It's not my decision they can come along if they wish to." I then checked the time. It was 8:00. I looked at the children. "Jack, Miko, Rafael, I suggest you get home. It's 8:00 pm." They checked the time."SCRAP!" they all yelled and called their guardians.
Seconds later they bridged out of the base to different locations. I could not surpass a small smile that made its way to my faceplate. I quickly hid it and walked out of the room and into the halls to my personal quarters. When I arrived there I got on my berth and quickly laid down, eager for tomorrow. Slowly I slipped into a recharge as I closed my optics and questioned Nightglide's plans for us tomorrow.
