A/N: As you can probably tell by this chapter, I have changed a few things about the second film, such as how Galloway is introduced and dealt with.

Chapter 21

Bladewing and Snakestrike stood side by side, both of them still in their human forms. Bladewing really needed to talk to Snakestrike about something. Things were changing, and she needed to tell him where she stood on certain things. Such as their relationship.

"Snakestrike… I've been thinking." Bladewing started, just as Snakestrike said;

"Bladewing, we need to talk."

They both blushed. "You, go first." Snakestrike said.

"Well, the time we had together was great… but… my feelings for you are changing." She said nervously, she didn't want to hurt him. But instead of looking hurt, or impassive, he seemed relieved!

"I'm glad I'm not the only one. I didn't want to hurt you." He said.

"You feel the same way?"

He nodded. "Yes, I do."

Bladewing breathed out in relief. "Well, at least we aren't going to ruin our friendship."

Snakestrike threw an arm round her shoulders. "You're right there." He said. "Let's head back inside."

Bladewing nodded, and then changed back to her Sparkling form. She poked Snakestrike, who had changed just after her. "Tag, you're it." She ran away from him, laughing.

"Oi! Come back here!" Snakestrike called, chasing after the femme.

She ran into the main hanger, dodging past soldiers in her path, and putting as much distance between her and her fellow sparkling as possible. She saw Barricade, and dived behind him. "Hide me." She said.

He laughed. "What are you up to Sparkling?"

"I'm playing tag with Snakestrike." She said.

"That's one of those human games, right?"

"Yep."

"Then I'm not allowed to interfere." He began to move out of the way, so Bladewing snapped her wings open, and activated her jets. She'd always been able to out-fly Snakestrike on brooms when they were human, now was the time to find out if she could do the same as a Cybertronian. She was soon in the air, and it took Snakestrike a few moments to realise. He saw her, just as she flew out of the hanger, and was soon in pursuit of her again.

Bladewing flew high, before pulling into a steep dive, and sharply turning out of Snakestrike's reach, and heading in another direction. She looked back, to see him coming after her, and grinned, as she spun in a barrel roll. She saw Sam and Mikayla down on the tarmac close to the human quarters, but faltered when she saw that they were arguing. Just then, Snakestrike caught up with her.

"Tag."

"Wait." Bladewing said, looking down. She lowered herself further to the floor, and listened. She knew it was wrong, but she was worried for them.

She managed to get there just in time to hear Mikayla say; "I just think we should break up Sam." She said.

Sam looked down at the floor. "If that's what you want, then alright." Sam said.

Mikayla nodded, and walked away. Bladewing motioned to Snakestrike to fly off a little, and she flew down to Sam.

"Hey Sam." She said.

He turned round slightly. "Oh, hey Bladewing."

"I- uh- heard what happened."

"Oh."

"Are you alright Sam? Do you need to talk?"

"No, and no, just leave me alone, I need to think." Sam snapped.

Bladewing flinched back, her feelings slightly hurt at Sam's sharp tone. She turned her jet's on and took off. She'd let Sam cool off before talking to him again.

It was later that day when Sam approached her.

"Bladewing, can I talk to you?" He asked.

"Sure Sam." She said, a small smile on her face plates.

The two walked together for a while, until they were both sure they were out of ear shot of other bots and humans.

"I'm sorry about snapping at you earlier." He started.

"It's alright Sam." Bladewing said. "I didn't exactly come in at the best of times."

"Yeah. The day started well, too."

"Oh? What happened?"

"I've been accepted to Princeton."

"That's great! Well done!"

"Thanks." He said.

"So, you start in September, right?"

"Yep."

"That's great. You're going right?"

"Yeah, of course. Bee already knows."

"I bet he can't wait either."

"Are you going to go? To a collage I mean?"

Bladewing laughed. "How could I? It gets harder and harder for me and Snakestrike to change back to human all the time. But I can always download everything I want to know from the internet, right?"

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that." Sam said, scratching the back of his head. "So, how's the whole magic thing going?"

"Well, it's getting harder for me to access, but whenever I do, it's stronger than anything I've produced before."

"Is it the same with Snakestrike?"

"Yes. But, I don't think that we will loose our magic. It will just be harder for me to use it, but far more powerful when I do."

"Well, it's good that you won't loose it." Sam said.

"Half of me wonders."

"Why?"

"Well, one half of me wants to hang onto something that's been with me my entire life, but the other half wants to just forget my past life, and everything that came with it. All the horrors, everything."

"You can't forget everything."

"Why?"

"Neville, Luna, Hermione, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Fleur, Remus, Tonks, Amelia and the others, even though Amelia and her lot have moved off to new homes off base now, they're all here. You forget your past, you forget them."

"You have a point." Bladewing nodded.

Just then, Bumblebee turned up. "Oh, hey Bee." Sam said.

"A message has just come through. There are other Autobots landing on earth tonight."

"Really?" Bladewing asked.

"That's great!" Sam said.

"Do you know who they are?" Bladewing asked.

"Yes, Prowl, Sideswipe, Jolt, Acree and the twins, Mudflap and Skids."

Bladewing groaned. "Not another set of twins."

Bumblebee and Sam laughed, and held out his hands for them both. They stepped on, and were deposited on his shoulders. He turned and headed for the Autobot's main hanger.

That night, eight new Autobot's turned up. Bladewing was sitting on Ironhide's shoulder when they drove onto base and Snakestrike was on Ratchet's shoulder. None of them noticed her until the cop car, who Bladewing assumed must be prowl froze when he took in Ironhide.

"B-but- how? A sparkling?" He shook his head, and shuttered his optics, and the others followed his line of sight.

"Wow." One of the twins said. It looked to Bladewing like he and his twin were about to crash from shock, she smirked at the thought.

"Welcome to earth." Optimus said, stepping forward. "You must be wondering about Bladewing, well she's not the only Sparkling. Snakestrike," He gestured to Ratchet and Snakestrike, "is the other sparkling here. The story of how they came along is… interesting, shall I say?"

"But, your message said that the All Spark was gone." A silver Autobot said, he also seemed to be on the verge of crashing, and was rapidly blinking, in order to check whether his processor's were in fact clear.

"Yes, but we could not let the Deceptacons know of their existence, and they didn't come from the All Spark, well, not exactly in the way you would think." Optimus said. "We should probably catch you up on everything that has happened."

Bladewing privately thought to herself that it was probably best that both daddy and Starscream had temporarily left base, who knew what would have happened otherwise. Chances were, the new Autobots would have shot first, asked questions later.
