Jack felt his jaw drop straight to the floor. No way, was that Optimus. And from the looks on the others faces, they were all just as surprised that this tiny Femme was the last Prime, savior of Cybertron. And yet, as Jack looked over her tiny frame, his eyes were drawn to the look on her face and there in lie the similarities. Her face was stern and all business and he could imagine a silver face plate covering that mouth, leaving only her star blue eyes to pierce his sole.

"Who the slag do you think you are, tiny that you can say such a thing to a senator?" Jack watched as Optimus, or at this point in time, Evelyn Pax, stalked up to the giant mech, hands on her hip plates with a glare that could kill.

"As previously stated, I am head clerk here at the hall, and you have been unnecessarily rude and abrasive towards the employees here at the hall. Now you need to leave, or I will have you removed." Evelyn didn't seem to notice or care how angry her words made the senator, as she just kept glaring. Which also didn't seem to help as her defiance to his supposed bravado just made him more angry.

"Why you little slag heap. Your spark isn't worth letting live." Lifting his arm, Metoris moved to strike Evelyn and Jack, along with the rest of team Prime all moved forward to stop the massive brute, just to remember that they couldn't do a blessed thing. With his hand high above his shoulder, ready to strike at any moment, Evelyn still wouldn't move an inch. Metoris realizing that he was not going to get his way without beating the tiny clerk, started his swing. Only to have his arm grabbed and his entire body flung to the ground by a big green mech. Jack was taken aback and stood there, not knowing how to process what had just happened.

"Thank you Rimshot. Now if you wouldn't mind escorting him out of the building." Evelyn moved to the side, letting Rimshot pull the struggling mech towards the exit. "I apologize everyone for the disturbance. I hope this has not interfered to much in anyone's work. And should anyone require help, the clerks here at the Hall of Records and myself would be more than happy to help. Thank you for your patience." Turning, Evelyn made her way out of the row they were all standing in.

"Well that was, weird." The laugh Raf got from Arcee seemed to say that weird didn't even cover what had just happened. Suddenly, Jack felt as if he was being pulled along on a skate board, being dragged behind Evelyn. The others seemed to move with him and they watched as Evelyn met up with Rimshot again.

"Thank you very much for your help. Are you okay? I know Metrois has quite the, swing." Rimshot just shrugged.

"Its nothing. I am just glade you are okay. You have been so kind to me and to the other wrekers. Teaching us to read and wright. i couldn't let anything happen to you Miss Pax."

"Well you have all been such good students and friends to me, it is the least I can do. And then there is the fact that without wreckers, there would be no Cybertron, so it only makes sense to educate those who do the most work. Unlike some senators we know." Both bots laughed at her words. Rimshot said goodbye for the day and left out the same door Metrois was escorted out of. Evelyn turned and made her way further into the hall of records, passing by some people who were sitting studying, or writing.

"Well after all that excitement, I don't know what else could go on in the day of Evelyn Pax, Head Clerk of Iacon." Ratchet just glared at Bulkhead.

"Well I think you are about to be proven wrong, unless I am mistaken about that color pattern." Everyone looked to the desk Eve was approaching and immediately recognized the orange and white coloring of their resident Medic. Ratchet was immediately enthralled. It had been a long time since he had thought about his first meeting with Eve, and he couldn't help remember his bad behavior to his best friend.

"Sorry about the wait sir. Here are the pads you requested. Is there any other pads you need or anything else you require?"

"Well its about time. There is a very sick senator at the hospital and if I don't hurry with finding his cure, things will not go well. And where were you? Prancing about ignoring my requests." Jack glared at Ratchet, who looked positively blue with embarrassment. But unlike team Prime, Eve just smiled down at the frustrated medic.

"Actually I was throwing a rowdy senator from the building. And I do apologize for the delay. I am sure I have no idea how stressful it is for you to have someone's life hanging in the balance and needing to find the cure in so many documents." Ratchet looked thoroughly stomped on, suddenly feeling bad for his earlier words. He knew it wasn't this clerks fault some senator was winning about a 31 hour virus that would be gone in the morning.

"I, am sorry about being so angry at you. It really has been a stressful day. If you wouldn't mind still helping me, I am looking for the right cure for the Bivolian scrap virus." Eve smiled even wider, sliding out the chair beside Ratchet. She Grabbed a couple of the pads and started scanning.

"Of course. I will start on these and you can have those. I am sure we have a lot of reading to get thru."

Team Prime watched as the two got to work and it dawned on them that this was the start of a very old friendship. Leave it to Evelyn to look past Ratchet's snarky exterior and see the frazzled medic underneath, who just need a break from idiotic senators and there stupid problems.

"She really is the kindest, isn't she?" Miko looked up at Ratchet, who's eyes were glued to the scene.

"Yes she is. With her help I found what I was looking for in under 15 minuets. If she hadn't have helped me cure that senator, it would have been my job, and I would have been sent to the mines to work myself to death in a job I wan't built for. She really did save my life that day." Smiling, they all turned there attention back just as the scene was changing.

Boom! I finally did it! I finished this freaking chapter! It has taken forever, but it is done. Ugh, ya'll don't know the struggle. First I started a new job, then I lost my old computer to old age. Then I lost this chapter about 8 MILLION times to the 90 day save policy that has. So, for real, the struggle has been hard and I didn't think I was ever going to get this darn chapter out.

But here it is! I have done it and now you have it. We have our first steps in the long friendship that exists between Ratchet and Optimus. And maybe a little more, humm? CX Anyways. Here is the next chapter and I am sorry for how short the chapter is, though if it was longer than well, it would have probably taken another 12 years.

Where was I? Dragging out my authors note way to long. Right. So yeah, hopefully you enjoyed and I will see you in the next chapter.
