Aquarius was walking down the hall to her quarters in an angry mood. Why was she angry? Because her father told her that she would have to bond with a human made bot. 'That's like bonding with a human!' She thought as she walked. What she needed was a nice hot bath to relax and calm her nerves.

She walked into her quarters, closed the door, and stopped. She stood there for a minute, was someone cooking. She went to the kitchen to see what the smell was.

Deckerd looked up as he heard the door open, but went back to his cooking when he didn't hear anything. When he looked up again he froze. He stared at the femme before him. 'It's that girl from earlier.' He said to himself.

"What are you doing here?" Aquarius asked in shock.

"Jazz let me in. He said I was staying here." Deckerd said. "I'm Deckerd." He then said as he held his hand out in greeting.

"Aquarius." She said. "could you excuse me a minute?" He nodded. She then walked over into the living room and activated her comm.

"Why was the human bot put in MY quarters?" She asked a little upset.

"Because, we had nowhere else to put him." Came the reply.

"So he's stuck with me?"

"correct"

"But, why me?"

"Because, I figured the two of you could get to know each other."

"I hate you, dad."

"Just try, okay sweetspark."

"Fine."

"Thank you." With that Aquarius cut the connection and walked back to the kitchen. She paused in the door way and just looked at Deckerd. He wasn't that bad looking, in fact he looked pretty good, but she just wasn't ready for a relationship yet.

She noticed that Deckerd had looked up at her. So she walked over and said. "I am, umm… going to go clean up, so I, uh… will be back in a little while, okay."

"Take your time." Deckerd said not looking up.

After Aquarius came back from a nice, long, relaxing soak, she saw the table in the kitchen was set and Deckerd standing next to it. She went to the table, and he pulled a chair out for her.

"Please, sit down." He said with a short bow. Aquarius sat down in the chair, and Deckerd pushed it in for her, then went to the stove and brought back a plate and set it in front of her. The energon had been sautéed with organic herbs sprinkled on top of it. She couldn't believe her optics.

"Who told you?" She said shocked.

"What do you mean?" Deckerd asked confused.

"This is my favorite!" She replied still shocked. "Seriously, who told you?"

"Nobody, I was just looking through that cookbook of yours when I found it and thought it would be good to eat."

Aquarius slowly took her fork and tasted the meal in front of her. Her eyes widened and she moaned in delight.

"Just the way I remember it." She said with a smile. "you are a really good cook."

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it." Deckerd said, he then found himself staring at her. Aquarius noticed and said with an eyebrow raised. "What are you staring at?"

Deckerd jumped and replied quickly. "I wasn't staring."

"Sure you weren't" The rest of the meal was quiet after that.

After Aquarius finished eating Deckerd took her plate into the kitchen and began cleaning up. She came up to him while he was washing dishes.

"Listen, I have two bedrooms, but the second one was turned into an office so I could help my father with paperwork so…." She said.

"That's fine, I'll sleep on the couch." Deckerd said not really paying attention.

"Okay, I just wanted to make sure you knew where to 'sleep'." She said with a bit of a yawn. "Well it's been a long day I think I'll turn in. Good night."

"Good night."

Aquarius nodded then went into the bedroom and laid down on her berth. She thought about her day. First, she heard that her 'intended' was going to arrive, then she had a hectic day when the Decepticons attacked. Then she finished helping her father with the paperwork and dealing with the human government 'cause of damages. She came back to her quarters expecting a long soak in the tub and a quick meal and maybe watch a holo-vid, then get a good recharge. Not come home to find her 'intended' in the kitchen cooking. But she must admit it was a good meal, the best she had in a while.

She decided she did enough thinking and shuttered her optics and went into recharge. Tomorrow was going to be another busy day.
