Midi didn't take her optics off of Sideswipe until he had turned to go towards the command room. She sighed and decided to go look around the base a bit. Taking her light silver "hair", she put it up and securely fastened her helmet. While adjusting her mask, she walked down the hall in the opposite direction that Sideswipe had gone.

I really hope I did the right thing, trusting that Auto- I mean Sideswipe like that she thought. After all, I don't want another incident like what happened with the Decepticons to happen here . . . should I've told him about that? She stopped in the middle of the hallway and pondered for a moment. Nah, she decided. It's not like he would know the guy or something . . . she clenched her fists, furious and hurt from the past. Besides, she thought, I bet Sideways is still back at Cybertron, hiding under a rock from the revenge I've got in store for him . . .

Getting back to reality, Midi continued wandering about the Autobot base, currently her "home". Hearing something that sounded like cheering, she paused and decided to see what was causing it. With each closer step, she could here the cries getting louder. They almost sounded like . . . joy?

Just as she was about to make a turn into another hallway, the five humans from before, along with four Minicons, were running around the corner just as she was! The humans', realizing that there was a big foot just above them, stopped and screamed. The scream startled Midi beyond belief and she lifted her foot up too quickly, making a 180°, losing her balance and clumsily falling over onto her stomach and face. Ouch . . . well, that was smart went through her mind at that moment.

"Oh my Gosh, are you alright Breaker!" Midi lifted her head and looked into the eyes of five worried and greatly concerned humans. Flustered from their worry, Midi got up quickly, careful not to step anywhere near them, and dusted off hurriedly.

"Yeah, I'm alright; nothing to worry about," she stated quickly. Looking down, she noticed the newer Minicon and assumed it was the one that she gave Sideswipe to give to Optimus. On closer examination, the Minicon was silver with blue bordering in some parts. Its mouth was visible, but she couldn't guess to save her life what it transformed into.

"Is this the Minicon that you gave to Optimus?" asked one of the humans. Midi identified her as the girl she met earlier that day.

"Uh, yeah . . . Alexis, is it?" Midi asked. The human femme smiled.

"Yes, thank you! This was the same Minicon from today's mission, am I right? You must've found it before the Decepticons."

"Yup, I couldn't let Megatron get his claws on it," Midi replied with a smirk. The humans beamed back with appreciation.

"Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves yet!" piped up the taller, blonde-haired boy who appeared as the "leader" of the group. "I'm Rad, and these are Billy, Fred, and Carlos." Each boy mentioned gave a notification of who they were by either smiling or waving their hand to Midi. However, there was one trait about the girl, Alexis, which worried Midi greatly. Her eyes were slightly swollen and red, and she was rubbing her face when the other children weren't looking. Tears? Midi thought. I didn't know that humans could cry . . .

"SHOOT!" cried out Billy, "It's 6 o'clock! Guys, we're gonna be late again!" The children seemed to be extremely nervous and ran out of the room, but turned around quickly and bid farewell to their new friend. The only one who seemed to be dreading the return the most was Alexis, who wasn't running, but sluggishly moving in the same direction as the other humans. Midi felt the girl's pain, and quickly called to her as soon as the other humans were out of ear-shot. Alexis was stunned that Midi was still there, quickly rubbed his eyes, obviously trying to hide her emotions. She turned around with a plastered smile on her face, and addressed Midi.

"Something up Breaker?" she asked plainly. The mentioned Transformer kneeled down and carefully scooped up the little child. If the boys had watched her doing this to the child, they probably would've accused Midi of trying to eat her or some other grotesque manner that they implied towards what the Decepticons would do to them if given the chance. The girl didn't protest, considering how Hot Shot did it all the time. Midi leaned her back up against the wall as Alexis balanced herself in the Transformer's moving palm.

"Don't you think I should be the one asking you that?" Midi (Breaker) asked calmly. Alexis understood where the Transformer was going with the conversation, and it was inevitable to hide it. Alexis sighed and sat down in the Transformer's palm, preparing herself for letting out her emotions. For some odd reason, Alexis felt that she could trust Breaker more than the others; that Breaker knew what she was going through better than the others.

"It's Rad," the brunette human began. "You see, for the longest time I've had a crush on him and-"

"'Crush'? What does that mean?" Breaker interrupted, confused beyond belief at that moment. The human's eyes began to water to the brim as Breaker noticed her voice began cracking.

"It means I love him . . ." Alexis muttered quietly. Breaker gave a sigh of understanding and waited patiently to let Alexis finish.

"I've felt that way about him for the longest time, but you see, I just found out that Rad is . . . he has feeling for someone else . . ." Alexis's voice trailed off into a sob which squeezed at Breaker's heart (if she had one).

"Do you know who it is?" Breaker asked in a soft voice.

"Yes," replied Alexis, "and that's the problem. It means that he'll never be interested in me . . ."

"And why do you think that!" demanded Breaker, furious towards how Rad treated such a kind human femme.

"Because he's in love with Carlos . . ." Alexis wept, her face buried in her hands.

Oh slag! Midi thought, That's rough! Finding out that the guy you like is gay! Harsh! Midi felt bad for the bawling human in her palm, but knew that there was nothing she could to personally to make her feel better (well, other than making Rad straight which she doubted she could accomplish). The Transformer hushed the weeping girl softly, trying to ease her crying, but to no avail. "Alexis, I know how you feel, and it really slags!"

"No you don't!" cried Alexis. "You're just a guy! You're probably gay too!"

"I assure you Alexis," Midi said, slightly hurt, "that I know how you feel more than the others do."

"Oh yeah! PROVE IT!" Alexis, her face wet with tears, looked up at Midi. Well, thought Midi, I'm gonna regret this later, but here goes:

Midi stood up with Alexis still in her palm and walked towards her room. Once inside, she set the human down carefully on her desk and started working at her helmet and mask. Alexis, having never seen a Transformer without their helmet, let alone mask, watched in awe. The human gasped at the sight of long, iron-colored "hair" falling from Breaker's head to the middle of her back at the removal of the helmet. Breaker turned towards Alexis, and saw the humans eyes grow wide with sheer disbelief.

"I understand what's going on," Breaker said with a weak smile and a beautiful feminine voice, "because we're the same gender."
