Oh my Primus. I am so sorry my darlings! TT^TT I left you all for so long and I have only myself to blame. I beg for forgiveness. These past years have been strange for a better lack of words. This past November I did NaNoWriMo again and almost finished a whole novel. I only came halfway at 50,000 words but I am almost 75% finished. XD I am using these snow days to get my head back in the game and type up my story for you guys. You all are my inspiration! Without you, I hold no wish to type. Hopefully I will post my new story ideas for you guys after I finish typing this up.
Now these upcoming chapters were a doosies. Most of them happened when I watched Inception in geometry class sophomore year (I am a senior now) during the big heat wave we had. Damn classes with no air conditioning. I am very surprised I passed that class and that I did not get in trouble for writing all hour. It was also one of the classes that I wrote the bond scenes. People gave me weird looks at how red my face was. Anyway, here we go! I do not own Transformers or FireRose, I only borrow her periodically.
-Radioactive
Ch. 16 The Start of Something
As the girls lay lazily on the couch their processors were whirling. Mostly FireRose's and Radio's.
'FireRose, we need to talk to the others about the 'cons knowing….and give them the map' Radio sent privately.
'Yeah, I guess we should. Call them and have them meet us in the kitchen as soon as they can.' FireRose replied. 'Where's Twilight?'
'Oh, she is in trouble for sneaking onto the ship. So she is spending a few joors with Prowl learning about rules and regulations of Autobots and some history. I thought we could teach her about stuff from Earth and Magnus already said he was going to teach her about other planets and their cultures from his travels.' Radio informed.
'That's Torture! My poor Twilight Sparkle!' Rosie cried causing Radio to snicker before she commed the girls.
'Girls, we need to have an emergency meeting. Meet us in the cookie kitchen.' Radio sent briskly. The ones near the two looked at her and froze at the serious faces n their commanders. They were quick to follow the taller femmes down the hallways to meet up with Kinetix and Aqua.
As they entered the kitchen the girls surrounded the table and looked like a government meeting instead of a kitchen table. It was dead silent as the femmes waited for someone to speak first.
"What's the matter?" Kinetix asked breaking the silence.
"They know." Radio said in a whisper. Her optics were down cast and her arms hugged her frame.
"Who? What do they know?" Shadow questioned.
"Come on, tell us?" Swift begged. The sorrow and pain in the bond was hurting all the femmes and it heavily confused them. The two commanders appeared ready for death as energon tears prickled at their optics.
"The Cons know that we were human. The cassaticons know our back story and and they are going going to tell the Autobots!" FireRose cried. Radio hiccupped a sob as she fought back the tears. Both had shed far too many this past orn. Both femmes fell to the floor on their knees as the tears began to flow.
"Please forgive us. We we spent joors fighting off Soundwave but we c-couldn't s-stop him. We're so so sorry." Radio sobbed as Kinetix pulled both femmes into her arms and cooed to them.
"It's okay. Sshh we forgive you. We felt your pain. We know you did your best." Kinetix said in a soothing tone.
The others followed her lead and kneeled to the floor to pull each other into a big group hug. After a few breems the group headed out to the lounge only to be stopped by a very agitated Ratchet.
"FireRose Prime. Wrecker Radioactive." He hissed darkly.
"Yyyeeesss?" Both questioning femmes sang innocently.
CLANG!
"Get your afts back in the medbay NOW! Ironhide!" Ratchet barked out.
Ironhide strode over with a smirk and slung the moaning femmes over his shoulders. He began following Ratchet as the femmes' groaning in pain stopped.
"Sssswwwwiiiffftttwwwiiiiiiiiinnnngggggg!" They shouted.
"Yes?" Swift hesitantly answered as the girls and Ironhide turned a corner.
"STARSCREAM LOVES YYOOOOUUUU! AND HATES US!" They chorused. The others broke out laughing as Swiftwing blushed a deep blue and began to sputter.
"SHUT UP! LALALALA NOT LISTENING! LALALA" She cried covering her audios. The laughter of the girls echoed through the halls as the girls parted to head off to their stations.
With our main characters-
Ratchet had fixed the dents in their helms and double checked FireRose's brace before he once again locked them to their berths. If you looked closely you would see that their berths had their names painted on them.
"You two know the drill." Ratchet chuckled as he heft a large pile of datas over to the femmes.
Radio set her elbow on the arm rest and propped her helm into her palm while she held out her free servo.
"Hand over the datas." She grumbled with a pout.
"And get me mah Twilight Sparkle or a crossword puzzle for pits sake! I just became the fragging intended to Optimus! And I am forced to berth rest! Unbelievable!" FireRose playfully ranted causing Ratchet to drop his tools with a clatter. Radio peeked over her data with a snicker at the sight of his shocked face. FireRose sat smugly on her berth with a wide smile as Ratchet's jaw drop.
"You accepted his offer?" Ratchet questioned softly.
"Duh! Didn't you hear us singing a joor ago?" FireRose laughed.
"I can hear the bbeellsss!" the two femmes sang before breaking into peels of giggles.
"About fragging time he asked. You're still stuck here." Ratchet dismissed as he left the medbay.
"Aawwww." FireRose groaned.
After a few cycles, the girls were put under room arrest and only were allowed to have Ratchet, MoonRacer, Twilight, and Prowl visit. Red Alert was very unhappy with this since he wanted to purpose to Radio and he had only seen her just as they returned to the ships where she passed out from strain. Optimus was unhappy as well for he wanted to see his intended. Sadly, the whole 'I'm Prime and her soon to be sparkmate' stuff did not work on Ratchet. FireRose had heard that argument from behind her door when Optimus attempted to sneak in to see her. That, unfortunately, led to Ratchet placing guards at their doors. The guards were Inferno, the Terror Twins, Springer or to the girls and their mechs horror Sentinel but he was stuck being annoyed by Wheelie who watched him with the help of Grimlock to make sure he did nothing to the girls. Wheelie also would talk through the door making sure the girls got a laugh every day. He loved what they did to Starscream and downloaded it to the base web for them. It got so many likes and funny comments the girls could not contain their laughter.
Once Ratchet did the usual lecture on not getting into trouble again and to not end up in his medbay for another three orns, the girls were free from house arrest. They were enjoying relaxing in the lounge while sipping energon and playing with Twilight when Hoist walked up to them. He had earlier visited them in the medbay to apologize for being of little help when they were botnapped. The girls quickly set it straight that they did not hold it against him.
"Hello Hoist. How are you today?" Radio asked causing FireRose to look up from her place on the floor playing with Twilight.
"I'm fine this solar cycle. If you two would come with me, there is a surprise for you both." He said. The girls stood to follow him. Radio scooped up Twilight and hurried to catch up to the two.
"Offline your optics. This is a big surprise." Hoist ordered with a smile. Twilight giggled as she tried to peek around her danni's digits that covered her optics.
FireRose and Radio caustically walked forwards with their optics offline as Hoist guided them outside. Outside stood; Optimus, Red Alert ( who tried to run to radio…again), Ironhide, Ratchet, Magnus, Elita and the other femmes of her squad and team W.I.S.H, Springer, Prowl, Jazz, the Twins (who could not wait to play with twilight…not letting them), Cliffjumper, Mirage, Wheeljack (who also could not wait to play with twilight…might let him if he does not have one of his inventions on him) and many other Autobots stood waiting for the femmes to see the surprise.
The playground was finished and it was just as they had planned and better. The hedges did not just have the crystal blue flowers; they had different colors just waiting to be eaten by anybot. There were training course big enough for even Optimus to run. Giant swing sets and jungle gyms, slides so big the tallest Autobot could stand in them and many more adventurous play things littered the park.
'I hope they like it' ran through many bots' thoughts at the sight of the two femmes.
"Okay open." Hoist said. The girls slowly onlined their optics and gasped in delight.
"SURPRISE!" everybot cheered. The sparkle of all the colored flowers shined behind everybot making the scene almost cause tears to fall from Radio's optics.
"What is this? Danni?" Twilight asked in awe of all the colors.
"This is a playground and there is an obstacle course and swings and slides and and so much. You ready to play?" Radio rambled.
"YUSH!" FireRose and Twilight cheered before FireRose snagged Twilight from Radio and ran off into the park.
"FIREROSE! Be careful with Twilight!" Radio called chasing after her.
"Can I go to my femme now ratchet!?" Red pleaded to the medic.
"Fine go to your femme. I'll go after Twilight." Ratchet grumbled.
"Twilight?" Red Alert questioned confusedly.
"She just ran away from Radioactive and FireRose." Ratchet stated pointing over to the two femmes chasing after the sparkling as the small blue blur raced into the largest obstacle course in the park.
The two mechs bolted after them as Twilight dodged each and every attempt a bot made to capture her. Somehow, Ratchet and Red ended up tied up in the metal net climbing rig as Radio and Rosie flew up passed them after Twilight. Just as Radio's arms wrapped around twilight, they fell forward and the only thing that stopped their crash to the ground was that Radio's pede got stuck in the metal net. FireRose just laughed from the top of the wall as she, Nightblade, and the seekers took blackmail pictures. Hoist quickly helped Radio down before helping Ironhide who had gotten stuck trying to get the wrench medic and security officer out himself. Once free, Radio allowed FireRose to run off with twilight and the other femmes. Optimus watched FireRose closely, ready to stop anybot from taking her away from him again. She was grabbing many different flowers and had begun to eat a few with twilight. As he guarded his intended, he did not notice the two femmes approach him.
"Optimus Prime, Nightblade and I have a few….questions to ask you." Radio said with a mischievous tone as the Prime turned to face the devious femmes.
(AN: there will be a separate fanfic for these tests coming soon. If any ask, Twilight put Red through one when she first met him.)
Red Alert searched the park for any sign of Radio. He had seen her talking to Optimus with Nightblade and stayed back until they had finished. As his femme talked, Inferno had come up to him and started a conversation. When he had finally been able to turn back to Radio he saw that she was gone and Optimus was chasing a sugar hyper FireRose and was failing at calming her down.
Rushing to find his own femme, he checked with Twilight over the bond. She was playing with Wheelie and Bumblebee on the slides. After warning the two mechs to be careful with his little femmeling, he rushed off in the direction they all pointed him to. Finally after running all over the whole playground he found her trying to climb one of the many crystal trees they imported from the remnants of the crystal garden's forest.
"Radio!" He shouted and ran to her as she turned to him. She dropped to the ground. She had barely set pede on the ground before Red Alert had her in his arms nuzzling his helm to hers. She gasped in surprise at first but quickly chirped in happiness as she nuzzled her helm under his chin and wrapped her arms around his neck. Red had to fight the strong erg to merge sparks with her right there. His only thoughts were on the femme snuggled safe in his arms.
"Radio, don't you dare leave twilight and me like that again. Please." He pleaded as he buried his face in her neck wires. The pain that the decepticons almost kept her forever and the knowledge that Soundwave was after her caused his spark to crackle and the want to make her his as soon as possible came back full force.
"I can't promise that Red. Where my commander goes I go. But I can promise to do the best that I can to not let that happen again." Radio answered in a whisper. She was practically basking in the love and attention Red was giving to her. It was much needed and her spark craved for more.
"Soundwave tries to touch you again I will rip out his spark." Red vowed his optics glinted darkly for a kilk.
"If you do that I will adopt the cassaticons." Radio warned.
"Why would you do that?" Red asked moving to lock optics with her.
"It would be the right thing to do and I would be unable to fight my danniluk instincts to protect them." Radio informed. Red placed his forehelm against hers with a heavy sigh.
"If that makes you happy." Red caved with a small smile before he leaned down and claimed her lips. Shocked at first for she had not expected him to do that, Radio gasped softly before she relaxed and offlined her optics as the kiss deepened.
"BLACKMAIL!" Nightblade, Shadow, and Swiftwing cheered from behind a hedge.
"GUYS!" Radio yelled in fury at them ruining her moment. The trio raced away from Radio's glare as a slightly awkward silence surround the two embraced autobots before;
"FFFLLLOOOOWWWWEEEEERRRRRSSSSSS!" FireRose screamed as she ran by causing sweatdrops to form on the helms of the two lovers.
"FIREROSE PRIME! GET BACK HERE AND HAND OVER THOSE FLOWERS!" Optimus ordered as he raced after the crimson femme and completely ignored the two embarrassed bots who were watching the scene.
"NEVAH! AHAHAHAHAH!" FireRose cackled as she ran to the slides. Luckily, Twilight was with MoonRacer on the monkey bars far away from her hyper auntie and the love struck mech that followed her.
"That was odd." Red slowly stated earning a laugh from Radio. "Radioactive, I have a question for you." He said as he did a complete 180 on Radio and went into a very serious tone.
"Yes Red Alert?" Radio asked as Red took her face in both his hands. Her servos went up to them in place as he leaned down so that their nosed almost touched. His optics never left hers.
"Will you be my sparkmate?" He asked. Energon tears welled up in her optics at his words.
Back on Earth she had thoughts that she would never have someone by her side other than her sisters due to all the bullying and fighting. Pure joy filled her smile as she said just barely audible but sounded like crystal clear soft bells to Red;
"Yes." She answered and nearly launched herself at Red to clash lips with him.
"Dun dun dadum dum dum dada do do doo do dodo" Nightblade sang the tune of 'Here comes the bride' as Jazz took pictures.
"Nightblade! Jazz!" Radio cried hiding her face in Red's neck wires blushing madly.
"What?! It's for a scrapbook!" Nightblade protested with a smirk.
-With Kinetix and Perceptor on the other side of the grounds-
Perceptor was studying the different candy flowers as he kneeled by one of the red candy bushes with Kinetix. As he studied the one in his hand, he looked up at Kinetix.
"Do you think that if one eats too many of these; besides getting horribly sick, they may go hyper crazy?" He questioned.
Before she could answer, running behind them came a wild screaming FireRose.
"CCAANNNDDDYYYYYYY! YOU'LL NEVA TAKE ME ALIVE COPPERS! MUAHAHAHA!" She exclaimed waving bushels of flowers over her helm like pompoms.
"FIREROSE! STOP! COME BACK HERE! You Can Keep the Flowers! FIREROSE!" Optimus yelled after the hyper femme as they ran out of view.
The two science bots both had sweatdrops on their helms as they stared off at their retreating leader.
"Yes I do believe that was an understatement of the lengths one goes crazy at." Kinetix concluded.
"Is that why FireRose and Radio are not allowed to have so many sweets?" Perceptor asked.
"Yyeeeuuupp!" Kinetix confirmed as they started to chuckle at the silliness of their family. Unknown to them, Swiftwing was taking pictures.
'Aawwww cute blackmail. Save that for later.' She mentally noted before going back to the playground to play on the swings with Magnus.
-On the obstacle course with Nightblade, Jazz, and Prowl-
(Oh sweet revenge mmuuuahahahahahahaah! RADIO GET OFF THE SHOW! Make me! –hears the glint of a needle with her name on it-….never mind –hides-)
They were battling and running through the course like it was nothing. Alternating battle partners and racing, the three were having a fun time. Halfway through the course they all fell into a pile on the ground.
"How the frag do we always ALWAYS! End up like this? And I'm in the middle again!" Nightblade ranted.
Jazz who was on the bottom this time laughed.
"Sorry sweetspark, ya stuc' wih us." He chuckled.
"Jazz." Prowl said in a warning tone.
"What? Ya kno' I'm 'ight. I can feel it though our bond Prowlie." Jazz countered.
"Wait wha?" Nightblade asked confusedly. "I don't think a bonded pair and bond again with an unbonded. That does not seem possible!" She spazzed as she attempted to make sense of the signals the two mechs were giving her.
"Sorry love bu' we're a whatcha call special case." Jazz said cheekily.
"Guys could you get off me and explain?" Nightblade asked not noticing Shadow taking pictures of their fall and funny positions and even funnier struggles to get unstuck. When they finally came apart both mechs sat closely on either side of Nightblade.
"To put it in a way one could understand," Prowl began "If both bonded feel the same connection to you then both sparks even though whole with the each other will want yours."
"Ookkaayyy. So you're saying that both your sparks want my spark and both of you are okay with that?" Nightblade questioned feeling slightly dumbfounded.
"Yes." "Yup!" They answered together.
"Look on tha brig' side!" Jazz chirped. "ya get meh and Prowlie! Who wouldn' wan us?"
Prowl and Nightblade face palmed as Jazz and secretly Shadow laughed their afts off.
"Oh boy, what the frag have I gotten myself into?" Nightblade moaned.
"Take your time to decide if you want to be with us or not." Prowl encouraged as he and Jazz leaned close to her and kissed her on either cheek.
Nightblade's face turned bright blue as she stared at Jazz who looked like he just won a million dollars, and Prowl, who seemed to be in total peace and contentment. Laughter was heard from above as the three whipped their helms up.
"Bl-ahah-Black-ahaha-mail! Ahahahha!" Shadow howled with laughter as she flew away to Silverbolt who was waiting in his alt mode.
"SHADOW! DON'T YOU DARE! ME AND JAZZ HAVE THE PICURE OF YOU AND SILVER!" Nightblade shouted shaking her fist in the air.
Shadow turned abruptly at her words and transformed back to her bi-pedal form.
"WHAT! HOW THE FFRRAAAAAA!?" She screamed as she fell from the sky.
"SHADOW!" Silverbolt cried before he dived after her.
Swiftwing was running to but unknown to them she was also taking pictures. Silverbolt transformed in mid dive and caught shadow in his arms before he landed gently on the ground. Shadow's helm was buried in Silver's neck wires as she had her arms wrapped around his neck. She was repeatively muttering 'I'm gonna die' over and over with her optics offlined.
"Shadow? Hey Shadow, we're back on the ground. You can calm down now. I won't let anything happen to you." Silver whispered trying to get her to relax. On the inside, he was screaming with joy at having her wrapped so tightly in his arms.
Slowly onlining one optic, she looked around before onlining the other and lifting her helm from the comfort of Silber's neck.
"Oh." She dully said with a bit of embarrassment as she took in her surroundings and started to blush.
Silver was hesitant to place her back on her pedes and kept an arm around her waist. Swiftwing raced over to them.
"Are you alright Shadow?" She asked concernedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, do you want to come fly with us? We're going to play come aerial games." Shadow offered.
"Nah, I'm good. Come find me later okay." Swift said turning to walk away.
"K! See ya at dinner." Shadow called before turning to Silverbolt. "Hey Silverbolt!" She cheered to him as she jumped back a step.
"Yes?" he asked as she looked up at him with a playful grin.
"Tag! You're it!" She shouted taping him the shoulder before transforming and blasting off in a matter of astroseconds.
"Hey!" Silver called and flew after her laughing. Swiftwing took a few pictures of them playing before taking a few of Aqua and Cliffjumper.
They were curled up together on a bench swing gently rocking in the Iacon breeze in peaceful recharge.
Did Swiftwing feel alone with all this romance in the air? No, she knew the author was just waiting for the right mech and as long as she didn't have one, she was safe. Until Starscream comes for her.
"I CAS SEE ETERNITY!" FireRose screamed from inside the giant slide tunnel she was hiding, not very well, in. Optimus stalked over to the tunnel with a huff. Heading inside the tunnel, he pulled FireRose out of the slide and into his arms.
"What did I tell you about running away from me?" He asked in with a playful rumble as she just smiled up at him.
"Can we go to the Crystal city? Pretty please?' She begged cutely causing Optimus to freeze. She was using the eyes that she knew he could not say no to.
'Slag, how can I say no to her? Slag' he thought. "Why do you wish to go to the Crystal city?" He asked calmly as his spark hummed a bit louder at the close presence of its beloved.
"Oh I have some ideas." FireRose said lowly with a suggestive smirk. As if he could read her processor, he smiled knowingly and nuzzled his helm to hers causing her to giggle.
'FireRose, block the fragging bond! I DON'T want to know! I am content with mah intended and don't need your suggestive ideas dirtying my mind while I cuddle with Twilight and Red.' Radio warned via the bond.
'RADIO!' FireRose shouted.
'Optimus Prime have her home by tomorrows first lunar cycle.' Radio commed Optimus.
"Radioactive stop bugging us!" Rose screamed as Radio waved from her spot under a tree with Twilight in her arms and Red holding her from behind. Optimus chuckled before tossing Rose into the air and catching her in a bridal-style fashion before he headed out of the playground.
"Where we goin?" She asked earning a smile.
"The Crystal city." He simply said causing her to squeal.
(IMPORTANT: If you want to read the bonding scene between these two please go the FireRose Prime's page and look for the story 'Beautiful Connections' Thank you and we go to Aqua with the weather. Aqua: Feather? Why does my line say feather? Radio: Dangit so close to ding the thing! Kinetix: Radio don't do the thing. Radio: yes doctor.)
THE NEXT CYCLE:
The girls worked and planed to have a cooking day t make more cookies and experiment with treats. All except for Radio, who was waiting by the entrance doors. Her arms were crossed and she had her danniluk lecture face on causing most to give her a wide berth. Last time they saw that look was when she scolded the Twins in a major epic show down. By the time Prowl came to the scene the Twins were actually willing to accept a punishment. If one checked the time, they would see that it was far past the first lunar cycle deadline for FireRose and Optimus's return. It took Shadow and Swift to get Radio to come to the lounge for some energon. That was when the lovely newly bondeds waltz into the lounge and stumbled about FireRose's team who were in a heated conversation until Radio jumped up looking ready to face Unicron himself.
"OPTIMUS AND FIREROSE PRIME HOW COULD YOU TWO BE SO RECKLESS! I GAVE YOU A TIME LIMITED FOR A REASON! WHAT WOULD I DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU!?" Radio yelled subspacing her hammer and handing Twilight to Kinetix before she charged at the crimson femme.
"Oh SLAG!" FireRose screamed and raced off in the opposite direction. As Radio passed Optimus on her way after Rosie, she stopped and jogged backwards to face him with a stern look.
"You're late. She was supposed to be back joors ago." She said and then went back to chasing FireRose in circles around the lounge much to the humor of the bots who took pictures. After it all calmed down and everyone had their energon, FireRose and her crew went to their rooms for the night.
"So Radio, what have you done with Red?" FireRose cheekily asked leaning on her elbows on radio's table in the purple femme's room. Twilight was fast asleep on her berth as the two femmes chatted.
"Nothing. Just because we're intendeds does not mean we go gallivanting off to merge sparks at the first chance we get." Radio countered but sent no malice via the bond only playful teasing.
"HEY! WE DID NOT!" Rose interjected almost waking Twilight. "Whoops." They stared at the sleeping sparkling for a few kilks before turning back to each other.
Despite the playfulness of her second in commander, FireRose knew something was up. Something happened while she was gone and as her sister and commander she was going to address it.
"Radio tell me what's wrong. I know you know that I know you have been acting up." FireRose ordered.
"I'm just scared that Soundwave or Megatron will come back and hurt our mechs and and Twilight. I had a horrible dream and and I she was I just can't see her as a decepticon. I just can't?" Radio whimpered as she held back tears.
"Don't worry. That will never happen." FireRose said in an attempt to soothe her friend.
"But what if the cons tell the Autobots and and the Autobots decide to check our memories to see if it is true? What will they do to us? Would they shun us? Or what if they take my Twilight?" Radio questioned pulling her knees up and wrapping her arms around them. It was the fear all of the girls hoped to never face.
"I don't know Radio but I know for sure that they would never take her from you. Not if I have a say in it." FireRose vowed.
"Thanks Rosie." Radio said with a sniffle.
"Take a good long recharge Radio. See you in the morning!" FireRose whispered as she exited.
"Night." Radio call out the door before closing it and locking it up. Giving one final goodnight kiss to Twilight's helm, she slipped into berth and fell fast asleep.
Once FireRose closed her optics, she was pulled into a black space that had no light not even from her optics. Spinning around fearfully she called out for Beta.
"Beta?"
"It seems that we have a situation on our servos. Radioactive voiced some key problems earlier." Beta said sounding like the bringer of bad news.
"And?" FireRose edged on feeling uneasy since she could only hear Beta.
"Primus has come up with a plan but you all have to give up something to protect each other." Beta gravely informed.
"What is it? What do you mean?" Rose nervously questioned.
"I will explain later. Gather the girls tomorrow during the first lunar cycle in the playground slide. I will meet you there. I am so sorry it has to come to this." Beta said sadly as her presence left the black void.
"What has to come? Beta?! Please? Beta!" FireRose shouted before the darkness became blindingly white and the sounds of Optimus calling her hit her ringing audios.
"FireRose? FireRose my spark wake up! FireRose?" Optimus called as she held her in his arms on her berth.
"What! Whatz goin on?" FireRose twirled as she frantically looked around before realizing she was in her room with Optimus. "What the frag are you doing in mah room mah mech?"
"I felt your distress and came to find you. Your second in command and medic were trying to pick the lock on your door when I arrived. It seems the others were planning on coming in through the vents. They were incredibly worried. They unlocked the door just as I came. I sent them to work. Kinetix had to drag Radioactive away just so I could enter." He explained.
"Did they fix the lock?" She asked.
"Yes. They said they were going to wait in the lounge for you. Now please tell me what happened." He pleaded.
"Just a bad dream. Thanks for saving me form it." She slyly answered as she cuddled closer to him.
"Any time my dear." He replied with a loving chuckle. They stayed like that for a few breems before they had to head off. When they came to the lounge there was no sign of the femmes so the pair parted ways. Optimus to work and Rose to find her sisters.
-Joors later-
"Slaggit. Where are they?" She hissed as she stalked down corridor after corridor. They were not answering the bond or their comms. It took her a bit to find the seekers. They were prepping for patrol and sent her to medbay in search of Kinetix or Aqua. Kinetix was fixing Sideswipe's armor when Rose stopped by and pointed her commander towards communications for the others. FireRose found her scout and ninbot but no sign of her SIC or niece. Neither femme knew their whereabouts either causing further frustration to FireRose. The crimson femme was passing the femme community wash racks when she froze in mid step at the sounds of giggling and splashing.
"Twilight! Settle down. Goodness sweetspark how did you get so much mud stuck on you?" Radio's voice rang out filled with love and adoration. FireRose busted in.
"RADIOACTIVE! TWILIGHT SPARKLE! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERY WHERE FOR YOU TWO! WHY DID YOU NOT ANSWER MY CALLS! YOU'RE MAH SIC FOR PRIMUS' S SAKE!" FireRose full out ranted as Radio and Twilight stared. The femme leader was panting by the time she finished and she could only glare at the two femmes as they held back giggling. "IT IS NOT FUNNY!" She roared.
"Rosie I'm sorry but let me just explain." Radio snickered.
"It better be good." Rose mumbled crossing her arms as Radio went back to scrubbing the dirt and mud off of Twilight's blue frame causing the sparkling to giggle.
"When we felt your distress, I comm.. Wheelie to watch Twilight and take her to Red while I picked your door lock. Somehow she managed to trick poor Wheelie into taking her outside. The ground was all muddy from some water and she ran right over and started to swim and play in the mud according to Wheelie. When he tried to catch her she ran away sliding into more mud. By the time he caught her, they were both covered in mud. After feeling through the bond that you were okay I went to Red to get Twilight. Only I ran into a muddy Wheelie holding a mud ball in his servos. She was so covered in mud you could barely see her optics! She was coated with gunk." Radio and FireRose laughed at the picture Radio took of the two. FireRose uploaded it to the base web with the caption 'for the love of the mud in the world! Why me?'
Once Radio was sure Twilight was spotless, they finally made their way back to the communications room. After a while of walking, Radio spoke up.
"FireRose, something is up with you." She bluntly stated.
"Beta came to me in a dream and told me to gather everyone tonight. I already informed the others." Rose explained with a hint of sadness that was dashed away by the increased flow in love from both Optimus and Radio.
"That is odd but not the feeling I am getting from your vibes. Something is off about you. I can feel it in my bones err wires." Radio said before busting out laughing at the mixed terminology.
"What do you mean by off?" FireRose probed as they stood at the communication room door.
"Not sure but whatever it is it has a sort of magical feeling to it. Like something is happening to you. Either way, I am going to keep my optics on your. Expect me to nag-cough check on you every breem, every joor, I will be that annoying buzz in your audio." Radio warned as she backed into the room leaving no room to argue as the door closed.
The cycle went ton as usual except for the fact that every breem Radio would comm.. FireRose and ask her the same questions of: how are you feeling? What's 1+1? Is there anything off? Etcetera.
After shifts ended and first lunar cycle energon consumed, radio went to Red to have him watch twilight for the night.
"Why am I watching Twilight, sweetspark?" He asked not in a mean way but in curiosity.
"Girls' night. My team needs some alone time to talk and-" Radio began but was cut off by Red.
"OKAY! Okay! I don't need to know. What you femmes talk about is scary enough please love, leave me out of it. I am happy to take twilight. How late are you staying with them?" He interrupted.
"Don't know. I already told blaster and Prowl so we will not be in any trouble. I Love you. Bye Twilight baby. I'll see you later!" Radio said as she kissed both Red Alert and Twilight good bye.
"Bye bye danni!" Twilight chirped.
-With FireRose in the main center-
"Why do you need to go out tonight?" Optimus asked suspiciously. Huffing frustratedly at the question, Rose glared.
"It is a girls' night out!" She argued.
"It is when they talk about femme stuff and all the issues they are having and-" Elita started.
"I get it. Alright you can go. When will you be back?" Optimus requested. He still did not like her leaving him for too long of a period of time. It would not be too soon that he has her move into his quarters so he could be with her every night protecting her from harm.

In exasperation, Optimus smacked his helm onto his desk.
"What's the matter Prime?" Elita teased.
"I fear what you femmes talk about. It is truly terrifying." Optimus said in amusement.
"HA! You should. We talk about everything." Elita replied with a strange emphasis on everything.
"Everything?" Optimus echoed.
"Everything." Elita said with a nod of her helm as she went back to work with a mischievous glint to her optics.
FireRose skidded to a stop in front of the others at the door way to the playground.
