Elena was on another side of the base, with a music player with her. Since she is holding Latin blood just any other, she likes to dance. Especially ones with rhythm. She usually dances alone, because she likes to keep it private. And since she lives now with Autobots, who are still fighting with Decepticons, She wasn't sure if they would understand. Well, PeaceStar and Sweet did. And Bumblebee since he has been longer on earth than others. But for not make things hard and difficult, She likes to keep hidden.
So, she started with one song and boy, she was good. And no wonder, she was and still is Latin.
Without her noticing Silver, came to watch. She usually came secretly to see how Elena danced. They way she did it, was something... different. So, she stayed looking without paying any attention that Ratchet was trying to contact both of them.
In this Ratchet asked Bumblebee to look what was going on with those two and after a while for looking them, he found them Elena dancing and Silver trying some step that looked easy. Seeing this he stayed watch too. In some time came Arcee and Optimus with Jack and Raf. No one said anything because this was the first time seeing her dancing.
When she stops and went to turn off music, she just then realizes that she wasn't alone. She turns around slowly to find others watching her. Her face turned into red for embarrassment.
"We needed one of you in the command center," said Optimus. Elena didn't answer, because of the shock, so in the end, she was picked up and taken to the command center.
"What wrong with her?" asked Miko and looked on shocked Elena, while Silver was on Star Computer. Ratchet needed one of them to make just in case tests since they got signal peek of someone called WheelJack, from Star Computer they could check for sure in 100%.
"We find her...dancing," said Jack awkwardly.
"You did? Was she good?"
"She was great," said Raf. Elena stood still like a statue. Soon Silver decided it was enough, went to take some water and throw it in her face.
"What? What?!" asked Elena. In the time Autobots tell about how they found an Autobot signal and it was someone name WheelJack and he seems to be an old friend of Bulkhead.
"Okay. When he will be coming again?" she asked.
"He said he'll be here by tomorrow," said Ratchet.
"Okay. Now if you excuse me..." said Elena and went to the elevator to go up. No needed to be a rocket scientist to know what she was doing there. Blowing all out.
Elena had returned back to her room and this on her face on the pillow. It was so humiliating. Silver just had stay and ignore the call. Usually, she would answer it and go do the work. Then she heard someone from another side.
"I like to be alone," she yelled.
"I just want to talk." heard a voice of Arcee. Is she there at quarters of Optimus, again? She opened the door and step to the edge to talk. To her surprise, Optimus wasn't there.
"How did you get in?" asked Elena.
"Optimus told I could come. He even gave me access to come here to talk with you," answered Arcee. Figures.
"Are you here, because what you guys saw?" asked Elena.
"Not the way you think of," said Arcee. "How long have you done it."
"What? Dancing in that room?" asked Elena.
"The dancing itself," answered Arcee.
"Since I was eight," said Elena. "My relatives hold many parties, where most of it was dancing, I was a bit shy because I thought I'm so lame. Then I started to learn by myself by watching how others did. And then it just came to me. But I never danced at parties."
"You don't do much for parties?" asked Arcee.
"No.," said Elena. "It sounds weird, but I just don't do party."
"No. It's not weird," said Arcee. "But you don't need to shame on it."
"What? About dancing or not going to the party?" asked Elena.
"Both." chuckled Arcee. Then right when she was going Elena stopped her.
"Can I ask you something?"
"About what?" asked Arcee.
"Did something happened back at Arctic?" asked Elena. Arcee looked confusedly. Nothing really happened except been almost frozen to death. And...
"Why you ask?" asked Arcee worriedly.
"Because Silver has to act weird, since then. She looks at you and Optimus with a weird face," said Elena.
Arcee wasn't sure what to say on that. She hasn't notice Silver looking at her or Optimus. Why would she?
"Have you asked her?"
"I probably should," said Elena. In that Arcee left the room, while Elena stayed wonder what was going on?
On next day, when WheelJack was supposed to come. Elena was in her room looking what would be best to wear. Silver told her why to bother.
"Don't you Stars ever worried such a things when it comes to meetings?" asked Elena. Silver told that only time they need to look well was when they need be part of the court. Well, that explained a lot.
"You're right. I'm not sure if I'll show myself anyway. What would this WheelJack even thinks when he sees me?" she said Silver look at her. Was she still with it? When she, CliffJumper and Arcee came they didn't argue it. Cliff was all amazed. and Arcee was only bit surprised. before Silver could answer Optimus came for them.
"Is something wrong?" he asked. Silver played what Elena just said about what would Wheeljack thinks seeing her.
"It won't matter. You're part of Team Prime and that only matters," he said before he picked her up. Silver went by another way, what humans once used when the base was once missile silo. When they came there others already came with WheelJack and Bulkhead had introduced him to Miko.
"Optimus Prime. It's a privilege," said WheelJack.
"Likewise, solider. What have you to report on your long journey?"
"Been bouncing from rock to rock. Searching for signs of friend or foe. And now I find both."
"We are few but strong. We have suffered losses, But we have grown. And we would relish welcoming a new member into our fold."
"I would be honored," said WheelJack.
"Then let's get this party started!" said Bulkhead.
On that comment, Ratchet sighs for annoyance. Well, considering that there are two wreckers, it could mean lots of breaking. Or that's what Elena thought.
Before party even started, Elena asked to be excused. At first, Miko asked if she could stay and dance since she hasn't seen her dancing. But with one glare it could obviously tell Elena wasn't in the mood. She kept walking in the hallway when she notices huge shadow above her. By it shape, she could tell who it was.
"Not mood for the party either?" she asked.
"You could say so," said Optimus.
"Where are you going then?"
"For a ride," he said.
"Can I come along?" she asked.
Optimus looked at her while. Then he transformed and open the door to the passenger seat. Elena smiled, while she jumps in before they left the base.
The ride was calm. Elena looked over the window to the outside. The night-time could sometimes be... lovely. She checked her com-link if something comes up and then she leaned back in her seat.
"Why you didn't stay with others?" asked Optimus. Elena looked on a monitor of the car. "The way you danced yesterday. It's obvious that you love it."
"I do, but... I just don't dance front of people."
"Stage afraid?"
"It's not that. I just don't feel like dance front of people. Same way I don't go for parties."
"You don't like parties?" he asked confusedly.
"Not that I don't like them. I never had the interest to go for any. When I got the first invitation, it was a rich girl who was all spoiled and treated everyone like trash. So, I didn't go to the party. Even if many said it was great, I didn't care what I missed. I guess only parties I ever went were family reunions. But those were like a huge picnic than party, so..."
"You don't party."
"Yeah."
If Optimus would have been in his robot form, he would give small smile. Elena reminds a lot of him. Before she even met them and become a cyborg. Elena was always worrying about everyone, she keeps her activities private. It's like she is...
"Optimus?" asked Elena.
"Yes?"
"Did something happened back in Arctic?"
"Why you ask?"
"Because of Silver. She has act weirdly."
"How weird?" he asked.
"She looks at you and Arcee. Mostly you with a big smile."
"That's strange..."
Right, then Elena get a call from Silver.
"Silver, calm down...what... WHAT?!... Okay, stay calm. We'll be there soon." she said before she ends the call.
"Something wrong?" asked Optimus.
"Something is up back at base. We need to get there to help," said Elena.
"Understood," he said before he turns back and drives back.
They drive fast, but not too fast to break traffic laws. When they came back, Ratchet had shut the ground bridge.
"Oh don't tell. You already made through," said Elena.
"Wow," said WheelJack seeing Elena. "Who's the girl with the extreme makeover?"
Elena looks at him. Unlike fake one... or that how she got it... he notices her.
"Jackie..." said Bulkhead. "That's girl is our team Star."
"Oh my bad," he said.
Well, at the end of the day, since Wheel jack's ship needed repair he got an own room. When kids were taken back their homes, Elena went once in the room she danced. But this she made sure no one will come or that she will bother them. Then after checking she start her dancing. But she didn't know that Silver has put a camera in the room, so she records them and watch whenever she wants and maybe show certain to others.
After few song, she stopped and went to her room to sleep. Today felt like hard, but the bright side as she had a good time with Optimus. Somehow talking with him, was nice. Maybe if there's another party, they could go out for a drive and talk more. In that thought, she fell asleep.
