I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS

Ratchet stood with the waiting femme. The panicking medic searched his processor for an answer but none came to mind. The mech's blue optics flickered over to Lumina, who lightly tapped her fingers on the medtable, becoming agitated with Ratchet's disregard of her question.

"Listen, if you won't tell me, I'll just go ask Prowl and Lightrunner. They seem to know what's going on around here," she said and motioned towards the door. "Well?"

"Prime is just...how do I put this?....ah yes...Prime just has a lot on his mind right now and is trying to get it sorted out. The only thing he needs right now is time," the medabot explained.

Feeling satisfied with his answer, Ratchet ushered Lumina to the door not expecting to find Lightrunner standing on the other side.

"Nice save, doc bot, but I'll take it from here," the yellow mech said and took her friend by the arm and led her away.

Ratchet as the two young bots left and he mumbled, "Oh that can't be good..."

Prowl sat on the makeshift sofa shaking his head. Bumblebee, next to Prowl stared in confusion and then looked back and forth between his friends, "Do I wanna know?"

"Let's just say: Lightrunner can't seem to mind her own business," Prowl sighed. "Prime has his hands full enough as it is, he doesn't need this.

"Need what?" Bee questioned, out of the loop as usual.

"Are you serious?!" Lumina gasped.

Lightunner nodded and smiled, "It's really obvious he's trying to say he love's you"

The femme continued driving and nearly running into the driver ahead.

"You still haven't learned how to drive properly, have you?"

"What? I can't help it!!! I get about halfway through and then I go into stasis lock!"

"Whatever. Anyways, are you even sure this is the real thing or something you heard from Sari?"

If it were possible in car mode, Lightrunner would look hurt, "Would I ever tell you something and not be sure about it?"

She paused, then finished, "Don't answer that..." This earned an audible laugh from Lumina.

Back at the plant, a frustrated Prime sat on the edge of his berth, unsure of what to do next. Scenarios kept running through his processor and none of them were what he wanted.

"Maybe something romantic. Like a walk in the park or a candlelit dinner? Where the frag am I going with this?! I have been watching way too many soap operas with Bulkhead. I'm a moron when it comes to this romance stuff, maybe Prowl can help..."

Rising, Optimus went to the door, but was surprised to find the one and only ninja bot at it.

"Prowl, is there something I can do for you?" Prime asked.

The black and gold mech shook his head, "It's you who needs help and I know why. What can I do?"

As the femmes pulled into the empty lot of the Autobot base, Prowl was outside with Optimus, who fidgeted with something behind his back.

"Hey," Lumina said, blushing lightly, knowing the truth.

"Um, hi...Lumina, will you-" he hesitated, and glanced over seeing his teammates.

"A little privacy please?" the red and blue mech pleaded to them.

"OH!!! Uh, let's give them some space guys," Lightrunner beamed and pushed Prowl inside. She then grabbed a peeking Bumblebee and Sari from the window and shut the blind.

"Here, this is for you," Prime said and handed a hand welded rose to her.

"For me? Optimus you shouldn't have" she smiled and took it, being careful not to bend the iron petals.

"Not being an artist myself, I had Bulkhead make it. He outdid himself, but he really didn't have to paint it red..." "

I love it and that's all that matters" The silver femme hugged the autobot commander and mentioned, "Was there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Oh that, yeah..."

Getting down on one knee, Optimus took Lumina's hand in his and began, "Lumina, ever since the day I met, you, I knew there was something different about you. The way you acted, the way you looked...the way your optics sparkled when you were in a good mood. From then on, nothing ever seemed the same, and I'm glad that happened."

The whole time, a smile grew on Lumina's face as she heard him say this.

"What I'm trying to say is that, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I want to show you how I feel, so....I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you do me the honor of being my sparkmate?"

"Oh Optimus, I love you too and I yes...I would be honored to be your bonded"

Overjoyed at the news, Optimus rose and scooped Lumina up in his arms and smiled warmly. The two went into the base to announce the big news.
