Red sat on his berth with a data pad on in his servos. Ratchet walked in.

"Red?"

"Hi daddy."

"I want to talk to you."

"Ok." Red sat down the data pad and turned his attention to Ratchet.

"What is it daddy?" Ratchet sat beside him.

"Do you have a crush on anyone?" Red's face went the same shade of red as his armor and he nodded.

"On who?"

"I d-don't want to say," the little mech squeaked.

"Red I won't be mad. Who is it?" asked Ratchet, gently. Red mumbled something inaudible.

"What?" He mumbled a little louder.

"S-Shadow." Ratchet smiled and Red blushed dark red. The older mech chuckled and Red looked at him with a pleading look.

"P-Please don't tell!" Jade ran into the room.

"Mama! I found them!" Ironelle walked in.

"There you two are," she said. Ellie looked at Red and saw his face.

"Red are you ok?" She felt his face.

"You're burning up." Ratchet chuckled and gently put his servo against her back.

"Red has a crush." Her optics widened.

"On who?!"

"Shadow." She smiled at Red and his face went a darker shade of red. Ironelle hugged him.

"It's ok Red. If it makes you feel any better, your daddy was embarrassed when he accidentally blurted out that he loved me." Ratchet glared at her.

"I'm just telling the truth sweetspark. And all it took was me getting hurt and for us to have an argument for him to blurt it out." The medic continued to glare at her. Ellie rolled her optics and then sat in Ratchet's lap and kissed him. He kissed back and smiled.

"I can't stay mad at you." She smirked.

"That's good. That means my powers work on your weak mind." Ratchet smiled and rolled his optics.

"Yeah. Powers all right."

Shadow walked into her family's quarters and looked around. The white mech she was looking for was recharging on his and her father's berth.

"Mama?" She climbed up on the berth and sat on his chest. Wheeljack jerked awake and he looked a her.

"Shadow?" She looked at him.

"Hi mama."

"What did you need?"

"Can I tell you something?" Wheeljack sat up and held Shadow in his arms.

"Of course. What is it?" She went red and she looked down.

"I have a crush." Wheeljack smiled.

"On who?" Her face went a lot darker.

"R-Red." The white mech smiled and ran his finger over her back wings. She twitched.

"D-Don't tell Ratchet, Ellie, or Red!" she squeaked.

"I won't," he said.

'She didn't say anything about telling Bulkhead,' Wheeljack thought.

"Elita there are some things I cannot explain."

"And why not?"

"Because I do not even fully understand how I came to carry them."

"Oh really? You don't know that The Decepticon Warlord sparked you and you ended up with twins?!" she yelled. Optimus winced.

"Elita. It's is much more complicated than that." Elita glared at the Prime and set her servos on her hips.

"Then start explaining Prime." Optimus sighed and sat down on the berth. Elita looked at him expectantly.

'The data pad,' he thought. Optimus stood back.

"Come with me Elita." Optimus walked down the hall and to the med-bay. Ratchet was working in the med-bay while talking to Red.

"Ratchet may I see the data pad?" Ratchet raised an optic ridge.

"Why do you need i—" The medic saw Elita and shut his mouth. He walked to the cabinet and looked through it for the data pad.

"Here it is Optimus." Ratchet gave the data pad to Optimus.

"Thank you Ratchet." He and Elita walked back out.

"What's with the data pad?" she asked.

"The information from when I was sparked." He gave the data pad to her. Elita turned it on and started to read. Optimus rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"You lost your memory?" He nodded.

"I have no relocation of anything that happened while I spent my time on the Nemesis besides what is said on that data pad. I came back to the base sparked."

"What did you need to tell me Jackie?"

"Shadow has a crush." Bulkhead's optics widened and Wheeljack smiled.

"ON WHO?!"

"On Red."

"ON REDCORD?!"

"Yes Bulk. Now calm down."

"I Can't calm down Jackie! Our Daughter has a crush on a mech!"

"I know that Bulkhead." Wheeljack sighed as Bulkhead started rambling.

"Daddy what are you talking about?" asked Shadow as he walked in the room. The green mech stopped the random rambling and looked at the small green femme.

"Well...uh..." Shadow waited for a reply.

"About you."

"What about me?"

"Um...your mama told me you have a crush on Red."

"Mama!" she yelled as her face went red. Wheeljack looked around the room innocently.

"I told you not to tell!"

"You said nothing about telling your daddy," he said. She ran out and hid.

"Shadow," said Bulkhead as he went after her.

Shadow ran and hid the wash racks and started crying. Bulkhead walked in and looked at her.

"Shadow."

"NO!" She stood up and ran out of the room. Once again Bulkhead followed but he lost her.

"Shadow! I'm not mad," he called. She didn't reply.

"Please come out Shadow."

"Are you looking for Shadow?" asked Red as he walked beside Bulkhead,

"Yeah. She's upset and ran off."

"Why was she that upset?" Bulkhead visibly stiffened.

"Um...Wheeljack said something that upset her."

"Do you want me to help find her?"

"That would help."

"Ok." Red ran off and started looking for her.

Shadow hid and cried in her knees.

"There you are." She looked up and met Red's optics. He was kneeling where she had crawled into the small space.

"Go away."

"Please come out Shadow." She shook her head as a few more tears fell from her optics.

"Please." Shadow sighed and she crawled a little closer to the opening. He reached his servo out to her, she gently took it and he pulled her out. Red smiled as she started standing up. Shadow couldn't help but smile as well. Red's smile was too friendly and cute. She didn't pay attention and she tripped as she stood up and Red tried to catch her. The red and jade mech hit the ground and Shadow landed on his chest with their lips pressed together. They stared at each other with wide optics. Shadow pulled away and blushed very dark red. Red blushed as red at his armor.

"Um...Shadow?"

"Y-Yeah R-Red?"

"I have something to tell you."

"W-What is it?"

"I have a crush on you." She went a shade darker(if that was even possible).

"I have a c-crush on you too Red." He smiled as well and he held his servos around her back in a hug. Bulkhead walked in.

"Oh th—" he stopped when he saw Sahdow on top of Red. His face went red with anger.

"Uh...hi...daddy," she squeaked. Bulkhead walked over and lifted Shadow off of Red.

"Run Red!" Redcord jumped up and ran to find Ellie and Ratchet. Shadow looked up at Bulkhead.

"Hi daddy." She blushed and looked up at him.

"What happened?" he asked; trying to keep his anger under control.

"Well...I tripped and Red caught me...and we have crushes on each other."
