Hello, there everyone! And welcome to Chapter 2 of Novaspark. I know. I know. I already put this up and deleted it. I did it because I wanted to add something to it. Any ways read and enjoy. Thanks for all the reviews I got for chapter 1.

Avalon Nova

I kept walking through the command base, searching everything with my optic sensors for any hint of my daughter.

Frag, she sure knows how to hide, I thought meekly to myself.

I called Bumblebee. I had to. I had searched through all of her hiding places and found no trace of her. Although I tried not to show it, my spark ached for my sparkling.

If anything happened to her, I doubted that I would forgive myself...

"Avie," called Bumblebee from behind me. "Lost her again, huh? Primus, that's the third time this month!" He exclaimed as his face broke out into a lopsided grin.

I ran to him and flung my arms around him. I felt his arm wrap around me as I buried my face in his chest, trying to force the tears back. I knew Bumblebee would never blame me for losing Nova, but it was still embarrassing.

"It's all right, Avie," Bumblebee cooed, trying to calm me. "She'll turn up - she always does, sooner or later."

I couldn't hold back the tears any more... I hadn't cried since I was a youngling. I hated crying. It was useless. Crying never helped or solved anything, but I couldn't stop. Once one tear fell they all started to fall and I just wept silently in Bumblebee's arms.

Bumblebee

I stood holding my sparkmate as she wept in my arms. She hardly ever cried, and it pained me to see her doing it now.

That was when I saw the outline of a white and yellow youngling with blue optics. Those optics widened in shock when she saw the state Avie was in.

"Mommy, don't cry! I'm sorry for running off," she breathed, grabbing hold of her mother's leg as tears began to form in her optics.

I watched my daughter, stunned. She surprises me so much that I forget, sometimes, that she acts so much older than her six orns.

I felt the hot sting of my mother's smack. Well, I couldn't say that I didn't deserve it, but the tears still swelled up in my optics.

"Nova, do you have any idea how worried you made your father and I?" I heard my mother roar at me as I stood there in front of them. I avoided her gaze... I didn't want to see the anger in her optics.

"Avie, calm down... you didn't have to go that far," my father soothed as he grabbed mother's right arm in an attempt to calm her.

I watched as my mother quit trying to escape my father's grasp as her blue optics widened in realization of she done and looked down at me.

"I'm sorry Nova," she cried as she collapsed beside me and wrapped her arms around me.

It was then that I felt the fear that Mommy had felt in the deepest part of her spark. I stood there, unable to do anything as the tears fell from my optics for making my mother experience this pain. The emptiness and loneness that was in her spark when she couldn't find me overwhelmed me, and the tears rolled down my faceplates even faster.

"I'm sorry, Mommy. I'll never leave you or Daddy again," I told her as I felt my arms wrap around her. I felt the remorse she had for hitting me in her spark and I sent all my love to her through our bond.

"I'm sorry Nova, but you needed to learn not to run off," Mommy told me as she regained her composure and kissed my faceplate where she had slapped me. "Now go play with the other younglings and don't run off this time." She finished with a heavy sigh and she stood up.

"Okay, Mommy," I replied, smiling at her to show her not to worry, and then sending her my love as I ran off, waving back to them.

Avalon Nova

I watched as my little sparkling run off as she waved to Bumblebee and I. I sent all of my love to her and waved back to her.

"Ah, isn't that sweet," teased Bumblebee as he gave me a another lopsided grin.

"Shut up, you slag," I commanded as I punched him lightly on his left arm.

"Ow!" He let out as he collapsed on the floor in pain. My optics widened in surprise and fear as I ran to his aid.

"Bumblebee! Are you okay? I'm sorry - I didn't mean to hit you that hard" I breathed as I fell next to him to get a better look at him.

I heard a muffled laugh come from Bumblebee, which grew in volume. My optics flared in anger and he got up, his entire body shaking with laughter.

"Hmph! I'll give you something to laugh about, alright!" I told him as I punched him again, harder this time.

"Ow, that hurt!" He exclaimed as he rubbed the reddened area on his arm where I punched him.

"It's what you deserve it after you pulled something like that you slag!" I stated as my optics flared at him again.

"Aww, come on, Avie. It was just a joke," he said as he reached out to grab my hand. He pulled me close to his chest and held my hands to prevent me from moving. My spark did flips in its chamber from being so close to my sparkmate.

"It wasn't very funny," I countered as I tried to pull myself out of his grasp, but to avail. I turned my face away from him and pretended to have a disgusted look on my face.

He laughed softly, pulling my face closer to his with a gentle touch. I started to blush as the anger I had towards him melted away. My spark pulse was rapid; it was threatening to explode.

I couldn't stay mad at him... my bonded mate. I felt my senses melt as I lost myself in the passion of our kiss.

Novaspark

I ran through the command base looking for Bladestrike. I had to tell him about the hiding spot that I found. I just had too.

It took me about half an hour to find him standing outside the med lab kicking an object with his foot that seemed to have some interest to him. I watched as his blue and black armor flexed with rotation of his leg as he kicked the metallic object at an angle.

I cleared my throat to get his attention as well as the three younglings beside him. They where Ariel and her twin sister Galactic. The sudden noise caused Bladestike to jump slightly and mess up his kick as he turned to see what the commotion was about.

"Well, if it isn't Nova," he stated unenthusiastically as he let his eyes roll slowly to give a clear sign that he was annoyed at him. "What is it this time?"

My optics flared slightly as my mouth was about to mutter a dirty word, but I activated my coolant system and stopped myself in time. A smile broke out on my faceplate, which both intrigued the three younglings in front of me and confused them.

"Well, you'd be smiling to if you found a hiding spot that led to the briefing room," I told them smugly, as my smile grew even wider on my faceplate.

I herd a stifled laugh and my optics flared as I scanned the hall to see whom it was. My optics fell on Bladestrike.

Usually I would activate my coolant system like my father told me too. It was pointless to get heated up about something so minor, but I ignored it and allowed my anger to consume me. Which to father's dismay happened a lot. Something he said mother did too.

"And what's so funny?" I asked sharply casting my most threatening look his way, which only fazed him slightly.

"Oh, I just find that fact that you actually think we'd be that stupid to believe that," he replied sending a message that I didn't scare him.

"I did. You're just jealous that you weren't the one that found it." I stated snobbishly. I stared at him through the corner of my optic.

Bladestrike led out a sarcastic grunt. My optics narrowed in anger at him.

"Well, then perhaps you want settle this over a race?" I asked quizzically calling him out.

Bladestrike looked taken back a bit, but he wasn't going to let me get the best of him. I knew his answer.

"Let's go," he commanded Ariel, Galactic and me. Heading towards the double door that leading out into the cool, brisk Washington night.

Stay tuned for chapter 3: The Race. This is when we'll really get into the plot of the story on long with the out come of Bladestrike and Nova's race. Also I put up a new poll to help me decided on Nova's alt. What you choose will impact the race greatly.
