A/N: Seventh chapter! and new Autobots! YEs! please review if you like!
"Skyfire?" Skylar asked, and Skyfire hummed acknowledgement. Skylar moved around, restless.
"Who will be there?" she asked. Skyfire stiffened, and then he looked around the empty hallway.
"Most of the Autobots. Even though they have private Energon dispensers, the rec room has been closed due to a fight. The cafeteria has been converted to the temporary rec room." Skyfire said, and Skylar could hear the echoes of Autobots having fun through the metal tunnel walls. She listening to the din get louder, and Skyfire ducked into the room she could of easily known as the cafeteria. This may be a large base, but not all of the rooms or tunnels were equipped for Skyfire's bulk.
"Hey, Skyfire, good to see you up and running!" one of the bots said, and it seemed like the whole room quieted down for a second. Skyfire shuffled his feet, aware that he and Skylar were the reason for the sudden quiet. Skylar smiled, waving at the bots. They all started to talk again, and the bot who spoke first waved at Skyfire, inviting them to join him. Skyfire walked forward, aware that Skylar was still hungry.
"Hey, Skyfire, who's this?" the bot asked, and Skylar smiled, laughing. She stood up, a hand on Skyfire's helm.
"My name is Skylar Starheart." She said, and the other bot moved closer, curious. HE reached a handout, trying to touch her, but Skyfire wasn't having any of that.
"I'm Bumblebee." Said the other bot, and Skylar got a flash of what he looked like form Skyfire. She was now aware that it was Skyfire that allowed her to see, through their bizarre connection. Bumblebee was a small (well, isn't everything smaller than Skyfire?) Autobot, base color yellow with black stripes. His eyes were bluer than Skyfire's.
"Hi, Bumblebee." She said, and suddenly she was the center of attention in the room.'
"I'm Sideswipe, this is my brother, Sunstreaker-"
"I'm Bluestreak-"
"You know Prowl, right?"
"I'm Jazz-"
Skyfire took a step back, holding up his hands. Skylar was trying to match image to bot, getting confused with Jazz and Sideswipe. She remembered the night she met Prowl, he was with someone. Sideswipe.
"Wait! Sideswipe, you said?" she asked the bot named Sideswipe. He looked amazed, for he knew that she was blind.
"Yeah." HE said, and his brother watched him, curious. Not much could spook his brother like that.
"Where is Prowl?" she asked, and Sideswipe shrugged, looking around. Bumblebee walked around the group, looking for Prowl. HE found him looking glum on the outside of the tables. He walked quietly and quickly towards the group again, looking towards Prowl. He was still there.
"He's on the left, towards the door. He's been a little down. Are you th reason?" HE asked Skylar. She nodded, and Skyfire looked towards Prowl. He then offered his hand out, and she climbed onto it, holding onto a finger.
"Let me down, Sky." She said, and the Autobots watched as he carefully set her down. Only Jazz raised an optic brow at the nickname.
"Skyfire, keep them distracted." Skylar said, and Skyfire nodded, standing up and herding the other away from her. She started walking to the left, letting the echoes from the large feet and bodies moving around helping her locate where she was going. She ducked under a bench and darted around a bot. He almost crashed into the table leg had a bot not picked her up.
"Skylar. What are you doing?!" Prowl's voice said, and Skylar smiled, hugging the hand that was holding her.
"Prowl! I know so many Autobots now! There's Bumblebee, and Bluestreak, and Sideswipe, and Jazz-"
"Jazz! You know Jazz?" Prowl said, and he sounded nervous. Skylar raised an eyebrow. She had never heard Prowl speak like that. He was a police car, for goodness sake! She smiled, thinking about her friend. She may be best friends with Skyfire, but Prowl was a close second friend.
"You want to talk to him?" She asked, and she turned waved towards where she heard Jazz's voice. She heard him excuse himself, and he started to walk over to them. Prowl hissed through his vocalizer, and he turned his back to the smaller mech.
"Prowl? Is that Skylar in your hand?" Prowl sighed, turning back towards Jazz. Jazz tapped a foot, impatient with Prowl's skipping around him. He held his hand out, and Prowl placed Skylar carefully in his palm.
"Skyfire! Come collect your charge!" Jazz said, and Skyfire walked over, carefully picking her up. He seemed to of brought everyone he had been talking to with him, and they gathered as Jazz took Prowl by the arm the same way that Prowl normally does to everyone when they are in trouble. Skyfire chuckled under his breath, and he set Skylar on his shoulder before shooing away the other mechs.
"Did it work?" she asked quietly in Skyfire's audio receptor. Skyfire glanced at the two, smiling, before mumbling under his breath.
"See for yourself." He said, and Skylar instantly sobered up. Skyfire realized his mistake, and he started to apologize.
"Skyfire, its okay. Just…don't do it again, okay?" she said. She looked around the base, hearing all of her new friends as they mingled and talked. She heard different sounds from where she left Jazz and Prowl. She smiled, then rubbed her belly.
"Where's that food, Sky?"
