Sorry this came out a little late, I've been busy with work and dealing with having my own house for the first time, but its finally here!yayyy!

I would like to thank a lot though to Shinigami-Sama1 for the most constructive and logical review I've gotten to this day (referring to many situations and not just the fanfic) just…wow…you know? Just wow! Thanks, so I'll answer a few of your points:

For example try a bit more detailing to the surrounding, and some more facial expressions on the mech. True, I do need this and I'm still working on it, but I hope in this chapter it got a bit better, I'm not especially good in this aspect and I'm still in training.
Also you could try to make some sort of record of the happenings cause from the second chapter we got that she was with her mother then in this last one that she was with Jetfire.

I actually wanted this this way, because it's a sparkling's view of things, even if she is a mechanical being its like a child, not everything seems in its right place all the time, however it will be clarified in time.

What happened to the other sparklings and younglings might be a good go,definetly, but you'll have to wait for that :D

Also if this is after the movie then, Thundercraker has not arrived yet. Blackout was annihilated in Mission City and Scorpknot was left without it's partner and in Qutar Desert Base, no way for him to get to outer space if you catch my drift. A possible theory for this is presented in this chapter, and there are many others still but again this is something that will be answered for sure with time.
You could also try for Sam's parents and Will and his wife trying to give Bumblebee lessons on children and asking what type of fule is she going to need. Right, trying to develop this one, I was planning a little special situation for this so its underway, though bee gets a few helping strings on this chapter.
Also Saturn is a Gas Giant meaning there is no sure way to know if there is land at thhe bottom but you could try editing that she was located on one of Saturn's moons. Er… to this I actually only have one answer, which is actually a question: did I say where exactly she landed? (I tried to find any phrase that might specify that but I couldn't.)
What happened to Elita One?
Mystery :D
Where did she originally come from and is Optimus Prime her co-Creator?Is he indeed?hmmm…
How long has it been since Mission City? A few weeks give it a vauge description and then the time it took them to leave and come back to earth might be disconcerning but acceptable.Not too long after mission city as the autobots are still building their new base and has sent their priority to space shuttles so far, as for the time it took them to get to Saturn being so small I figured that if this is an alien species that can travel through space all the way from cybertron then the distance between earth and Saturn should be actually quite small.

Anyways thanks again, keep at it and hope you enjoy the new chapter! :D


The medical bay was just as clear as I remembered it from the last time, I might have been in a complete panic attack but my cpu memorized well enough the room, for if I ever needed to run away from it again, I would know where to run or hide.

Ratchet was already there with a smirk on his face platting that took away any possible sense of security; even Bumblebee seemed to waver upon that smirk.

" I trust there were no problems today?" he asked more to try to be polite rather than to really know the answer, he tapped the makeshift berth as an indication to set me down on it. While the med bay had been their first priority it was still in need of some serious upgrading, only one of the berths seemed decent enough, the tools, thankfully looked in pretty good shape but there weren't as many as the ones she'd seen in her ship so he was probably missing some supply.

Bumblebee set me down again with that gentleness he had started to show since our conversation with prime, I could tell that ever since then he had been extra careful with me, even when we went with the humans, he drove on a decent speed and although she wasn't certain she was sure he kept making scans while she was inside.

Speaking of scans, a short electric blue light hovered over my form passing me through and leaving a tingling sensation to which I couldn't help but giggle at, Ratchet however replaced his smirk for a very large frown and I immediately shut up.

"You haven't fed her yet have you? Her fuel tanks are nearly critical!"

"They are?" both mech and femme asked surprised. I hadn't even realised I was hungry….well I didn't feel hungry anyway…but I guess I should be, when was the last time I had some energon anyway? As I trailed in my thoughts Ratchet sighed while a very worried looking Bumblebee stared back at him expectantly.

"I suppose I should give you a bit of an introduction to that…go get some low grade from the cabinet" he grumbled pointing at the said compartment. Bumblebee hurried off while the med bot turned back to me, I instinctively shrunk back.

His expression softened upon seeing my fear and he held out a hand in front of me in a friendly manner but for as much as I tried I just couldn't help but trust a medic, I had heard stories about them and each and every one of them would make my platting stiff from fear.

"Don't worry young one, I won't hurt you." He said in a very poor attempt to make a comfortable voice, and failing miserably. "I just need to check some things out in your systems to make sure your okay and you'll be ready to go all right? Bumblebee is right there so you can be sure I won't do anything, there's no mech on cybertrion more loyal than him and you can be sure he is loyal to your safety.

Slowly but hesitantly I approached his hand, not to climb on but to show I'd comply with his plea ' well he IS trying…' I thought.

"Good… now stay still for a few seconds so I can make a full scan." I nodded as he started the said scan " How come you didn't tell anyone you were hungry?" he asked to make me a bit more comfortable about the situation.

"I didn't notice" his metallic eyebrows lifted a bit at that as if he was surprised.

"maybe your alert systems are down… I'll have to check that afterwards."

"T-that won't hurt will it?" my spark started to race inside my chest and I felt it was telling me off. Ratchet merely gave me a short glance before turning back to his incoming report on the scan and replied a short "no".

That was when Bumblebee came back with a normal sized cube of energon, and when I mean normal sized, I mean about my size since I was still very small.

"I couldn't find any smaller cubes Ratchet…I don't think she'll manage to drink from this." He said a bit hesitantly almost as if he was a bit afraid of the mech himself.

"I'll take care of that, keep an optic on her while I go get a tube" he said giving me a glare as if daring me to run away and went off.

Bumblebee watched him leave for a few seconds before turning back to me, lowering himself enough to be at eye level with me.

"You holding up with him?" he asked in an attempt to ease my fear, his smile filled me with some sense of security again; there was just something about this mech that made me trust him entirely.

Slowly nodding I crawled over just so I could be closer to him. " He said my alert systems might be down…that that might be why I didn't notice I was hungry."

"that explains why you fell into recharge like that too…you didn't seem that tired until you actually fell asleep." He said turning back to look at the door when Ratchet came back in.

"There we go now" the med bot said inserting the tube on the cube " just suck it in through this end, I got the idea from the human straws, apparently they use them for patients quite a lot when they can't drink for themselves." He said handing me to other end of the tube.

The two mechs talked with each other about what I thought should be my alert systems going down and my medical report, but to me it all sounded far too complicated still so I ignored it and concentrated on the delicious fluid coming through, I couldn't help but chirp in delight sometimes. I only realised I was being watched when I finished and let go of the tube with a broad smile.

"All right, you seem to have had your fill, come along" said ratchet motioning with a hand for us to follow him. Bumblebee quickly picked me up and went after him in hurried steps, he seemed a bit more worried now, his expression remaining serious all the way even when I called him he simply gave me a small nod, not a smile.

I was set down on a console while Ratchet tried to plug in a wire behind my audio receptor, I was uncomfortable with this as they seemed to be so as well, and something didn't seem right about this.

"How did Optimus take it?" Bumblebee asked out of the blue. Ratchet stopped what he was doing for a while as if he was considering if he should tell the young soilder.

"Took it worse than we thought, right when we got there he practically went into stasis lock and fell to the floor. Took us almost half an hour to get his aft off the ground and back into his chair."

Interested in what this conversation was leading to I pretended to be more interested in the screen so that they could be more at will at talking about the subject and maybe that way I could find out what really happened earlier that day.

"So he really didn't know?"

"No" was the short and moody reply of the medical bot who kept persistently staring at the screen.

"Then…"

"I'll be checking it out soon enough…"Ratchet interrupted giving a quick glance to me, I quickly turned my optics away pretending not to be paying attention, but he probably knew.

There was a dead pan silence until the beep from the machine told us the scan was done. "there's our problem…" he said pointing at a symbol in the long list of words. "it really is turned off…how the pit did you manage to get it that way?" he asked, though I knew it was more of a rhetoric question, I couldn't answer him anyway for I didn't know.

"Anyway I won't bother Optimus about this matter for now, He needs to get his processor back on our past rescue, as far as we know blackout had been terminated, the humans took care of disposing of the decepticon remains.

"Maybe we should have checked if he was really dead…he could have survived…that would explain how thundercracker showed up with him and how scorponok ended up there with them"

"Its an option…though highly unlikely…how would thundercracker know where we hid blackout's remains?"

Bee shrugged as if his brilliant moment of thinking had ended and he had no more ideas as to solve the unsolvable mystery.

"Can I go now?" I interrupted, I couldn't help it, I was starting to feel tired and the conversation no longer was of great interest to me, not to mention I couldn't understand most of what they were talking about, they were being careful not to say too much in front of me, that much I knew already.

They seemed to be brought back to the main subject they had come here for, Ratchet smiled widely and that made Bumblebee cower a little, apparently whenever this mech was happy it could be either really really good, or infamously bad.

"Seems like your alert systems are back up" he said unplugging the cable from behind my audio receptor and closing the entrance with incredible care.

"Your free to go for now."

"But what about-" Bumblebee started only to be cut off by the medic once more.

"I'll have to study it carefully, so you'll have to wait, and this isn't a subject she should be listening to." He said pointing in my direction, the yellow bot nodded in a defeated manner and headed over to offer me his hand.

"Oh and don't forget to bring her tomorrow again." He said distractively setting the files aside. I immediately went stiff, my recent happy-to-be-free smile turning to that of fear.

"Don't worry, its just so I can take some information to build your upgrade, you should be getting into a new one soon enough." He said waving his hand dismissively.

" Really?!" I shouted cheerfully, for the first time talking so loud in front of the medic, my fear all but lost, he chuckled at my excitement tapping my helm affectionately.

"Yes really, you know you kind of remind me of Bumblebee when he was a sparkling." The said bot raised his metallic eyebrows surprised by the comparison, sure he had been overly enthusiastic…then again if one looked closer there were some similarities in the young femme's protoform and his old one, for one the antennae were extremely similar and it wasn't a common model to find among autobots, then there was the over all helm shape, but it should all look a lot different once she got the upgrade and her first paintjob, she probably wasn't one for yellow anyway.

Heading back outside the med bay Bumblebee let out a relieved sigh, glad to be out of that place.

"I'm glad that's over with…" he said to me walking down the hall.

"Where are we going now?" I asked not recognizing this path, it hadn't been there the day before.

"Ironhide concentrated his work on finishing this side today so we could sleep here, I don't know if he managed to so we're checking it out."

"So we'll be sleeping here tonight?"

"Maybe…I also wanted to check on Optimus but I'll have to leave you with Ironhide for a while for that, is that all right with you?"

"Will you take long?" I asked peering at his face searching for any trace of deception, instead he laughed heartedly and patted me on the head once more.

"Shouldn't take too long."

"Then its okay. I can handle Chromia, so I can handle him." For some reason he didn't seem too assured by this.

Once arriving in the room it was easy to assume it still wasn't ready, the walls had all been built already, but there was still the furnishing and cleaning of the place which right now looked like a downright mess, one could guess cleaning wasn't Ironhide's specialty.

"Ironhide?" Bumblebee called not seeing the dark mech anywhere, from the left side of the room where the private washracks were probably being built there was a loud clang and some mild cursing to which I didn't finish hearing for my guardian covered my audio receptors wincing at the string of crude words.

The bulky mech came out of the said room rubbing the top of his head which now bore a large dent and glared at the yellow camaro. Bee let go of my receptors and cleared his throat a little.

"Hey 'hide, just here to check on how things are going around here." He said as the said mech came over. " and to see if you could take care of buzzer for a short while, I need to check on Optimus…in case he…you know…in case he wants to know how its going." He was choosing his words carefully again, I fumed knowing it was because of me.

"I'm stuck with sparkling sitting again? Weren't you enough kid?" he said teasingly, and upon Bee's frown he just patted him roughly on the shoulders and extended a hand for me to climb onto." Doubt this place will be done by tonight though…the blasted washracks are taking megacycles to finish, no wonder wheeljack keeps blowing himself up."

"Right, I'll leave Buzzer to you for a while, I'll be back later." He said giving me an assuring glance before leaving the room.

"Bye bee" I said waving lightly trying to sound as sad as I was.

"Well that takes care of things, think you can help me with the washracks younglin'?" Ironhide asked fiddling with the cables on my neck and making me giggle, this mech knew how to treat someone my age that much was sure, maybe it was because he said he sparkling sat Bumblebee? It was funny how a mech wrecker like this could actually be so gentle when taking care of me, and I could see how much attention he was actually paying when I tried to help him with the pipes system for the washracks, over all it was a fun job to do and I enjoyed his company, because he would often tell me stories of his adventures over the years and there was always something entertaining about it, even if it was just that extra sparkle in his eyes whenever he mentioned some big chaotic explosion he'd set onto the cons.

I didn't even realise how much time had gone by until he said it was getting late and that we should get some energon. Picking me up he set off to the steel halls heading down to a makeshift rec room where there was only a single and badly made table.

While I waited for him to come back I stared up at the open ceiling and noticed the sky was getting a bit red, meaning it was nearly the end of the day.

"Has it really been that long?" I asked myself in my sparkling language. "Mother…" I felt longing for her, I wanted more than anything to be back in her arms and to feel the humming of her spark, it was the one thing no caretaker could give me, it was all the love she sent through our bond, but out here I couldn't reach that bond, I couldn't feel my mother, I wondered for a while…was she even alive?

"Missing someone up there?" came Ironhide's gruff voice interrupting my thoughts; I turned around as he set down an energon cube with the straw Ratchet had shown me earlier. I gladly took it feeling quite hungry for now.

"Yeah…my mother. I was wondering what happened to her" I confessed feeling a bit sick to my stomach every time I thought that way.

"She'll live, trust me on that one, Elita One is one of the toughest survivors we have in our faction, and with you missing I doubt she wouldn't." I chuckled a bit at his encouraging comment.

"You sound like you met mother."

"I have, I trained her." I raised my optic ridges in surprise, he just smirked triumphantly. "Bet you didn't know that now did ya?"

"No…mother tried to avoid talking about her own teachings all the time. Said violence wasn't a thing that needed to enter my processor so early. Failed miserably though thanks to Chromia." Ironhide looked full of pride once I said that, and I had a feeling it wasn't because of my mother's worries. "You think their okay then?" I asked looking down at my energon cube sadly.

"Well I wouldn't say 100% but ya…they'll live, they have been through worse. Don't you go thinkin' otherwise younglin'" he said poking me in the ribs playfully, I didn't feel like smiling though.

"What if their hurt? I mean really really hurt? It would be my fault!" Ironhide was surprised by my little outburst but I just couldn't help the pain in my spark, my whole frame was shaking in both anger and fear, anger for not being there for my mother and fear for her life.

I felt my cooling systems kick in and some escaping through my optics, I quickly tried to rub them away but they kept coming and before I knew it I was being pulled into a comfortable hug and cradled against Ironhide's protective chassis.

I was hurting so much that all I understood was a few bits of his soothing and a digit rubbing my back calmly, before long I felt myself going into recharge, continuously hearing the same words "Don't worry, everything will end up jus'fine, you'll see, they'll be back, they have to be back"


Review please, it only makes stories better.
