Many years later...

A femme slender, silver and red Seeker walked clumsily down the hall, carrying a tall stack of data pads. "Primus... " She murmured as the stack swayed back and forth. Then she felt someone bump her shoulder, sending the data pads crashing to the floor, along with the femme.

"I'm so sorry!" A voice chirped. Silverlight slowly looked up and saw a light blue mech with green assents, his servo extended to her. The femme took it gently and the mech helped her up. "Th-Thank you... " Silverlight smiled. "No problem... " The mech shrugged then bent down to pick up the strode data pads. "N – No, I'll get the data pads... " Silverlight reached down and picked up a couple. "Na, I'll help you... Besides, I'm the one who knocked you down... " The mech smiled at her.

"Wh – What's your name?" The femme Seeker asked shyly. "I'm Rivertide... " He grinned. "You?"

"Silverlight... " The femme blushed as Rivertide took her servo and kissed it gently. "A pleasure... " He murmured. "I... Umm... " Silverlight looked down, blushing slightly. "I – I really need to get these to Nightblast... " She looked at her data pads. "'Nightblast'? You say his name casually... " Rivertide observed. "Yes... " The femme Seeker sighed. "He and I used to be close... I only refer to him like that if he's not around... " Silverlight looked back up at the mech. "How close?" He prompted. "Close... " The femme closed her optics and smiled at the thought then it faded into a frown. "Then our fathers happened... " Silverlight murmured. "Well, are you mates now? You know since your father is gone, along with Lord Nightblast's... " Silverlight looked up at him and thought she saw envy flash in his optics but after that it was unclear of what Rivertide thought.

"No... " She answered him. "He was cruel after the ordeal happened... "

"Oh... " Was that relief flooding his optics or was it just Silverlight? The femme quickly shrugged it off, she just met this mech, surely he wouldn't want her for his mate... Could he?

"Thank you for helping me... " The femme muttered. "No problem... " Rivertide smiled. "'Sides I owe you for knocking you down... " He chuckled. "Yes... I really need to get these to Nightblast... " She reached out for the data pads Rivertide held but he turned away and headed down the hall. "I owe you... " He repeated himself as Silverlight ran after him.


Silverlight smiled as Rivertide kissed her gently. "I love you... " He whispered. "I love you too... " Silverlight purred quietly. "And I love your purr... " The blue mech smiled as he pinched her sides, making the femme giggle. "Rivertide! Don't do that!" Silverlight's optics glowed. "Alright... " He let her go and leaned against the wall, stroking her cheek. "My beautiful mate... " The mech growled. "Stop growling like that... Someone might find us, you idiot!" Silverlight hissed under her breath. "Let them know that I love you... " The blue mech pulled her closer, his optics glowing in the semi – darkness. Silverlight blushed at his words and blushed even more when he touch her wings, making them shiver. "Stop that... " The femme purred. "I know you love this... " Rivertide muttered then kissed her passionately. Silverlight's optics widened then slowly closed as her wings lowered.
