Emma: The books everyone should read – Maximum Ride. And if you haven't…THEN READ THEM!!
Prowl: What did you say? *Is reading School's Out Forever*
Emma: Doesn't apply to you. *Glares at Jazz, who's doing nothing.* It applies to you!
Jazz: Don't freak out bitch, I'll read it…eventually.
Emma: YOU'LL READ IT NOW!!!!
Jazz: Wouldn't you rather I read the fan fic?
Emma: Huh? …Oh, yeah, sure, why not? On with the fic!
Jazz: Phew. *Relieved*

Two nights before the wedding, and the night before the Elite Guard's arrival on planet earth, I went for a walk, seemingly by myself. I walked a long way towards absolutely nowhere, and just wondered about my life so far.
What would my life have been like if, for example, I hadn't gotten injured in a car accident when I was a child? If I hadn't needed robotic parts placed in my body? If I hadn't needed something to sustain my life energy – that being the All-Spark, of course.
I would be living with my parents, and their robot maid, Tiffany. I would have gone to school in Albany, and made human friends. Maybe I would have even had a human boyfriend.
Maybe.
I would never have met Bianca, and the others. I would never have met and fallen in love with Bumblebee and Starscream. I would never know that there was a planet called Cybertron, and that giant alien robots really did exist (eat your heart out, NASSA). I would never have been so strong, so fast, or been able to transform and fly the way I did. I wouldn't have given birth to the two most beautiful twins in the entire existence of the universe, and I wouldn't have met my foster parents Nenona and Jerome. I wouldn't have a cat called Leveret, and he and Kyo would have never had kittens.
My hair wouldn't be the length it is right now, trailing along the ground as I found myself walking through the cemetery.
I didn't know how I had ended up there, but I found myself walking towards Nenona and Jerome's graves. I knelt on my knees, and placed my hands together in prayer, to the Cybetronian god Primus. I believed in him, as he had spoken to me once before. I prayed now.
I stayed like that for quite some time, unsure of just what I was praying for, or why.
I had a sense of impending dread, rivalled only by my worry of what the future had in store for my twin girls.
I wondered what the Elite Guard would be like. I wondered if they would stay, and help us fight the Decepticons.
I only opened my eyes when someone came up behind me, and spoke to me.
*
Bumblebee's P.O.V:
"Hey Bianca, have you…" I walked into her room, and then gasped, shielding my optics and stumbling blindly from the room, where her holoform and Optimus' holoform were…well, being together. "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" I cried.
I hurried down the hall, deleting the image from my circuitry as I did so, and I nearly ran into Ratchet.
"Hey, watch it!" He cried.
"Huh?" I opened my optics. "Oh, hey doc-bot…say, have you seen Emma?"
Ratchet gave me a Look. "She's your spark mate, kid – don't tell me you lost her."
I cringed. Ratchet was taking a dig at the time I 'misplaced' Shooting Star, and we had to search over the entire base for her.
Zikya happened to walk by just then, and overheard our conversation. "Emma's gone out for a walk." She said calmly.
Ratchet and I both stared at her, not calmly at all.
"She's out by herself, when there are Decepticons on the loose!?" Ratchet cried. We still hadn't located Blitzwing or Soundwave yet, and we weren't taking any chances.
I didn't hang around. I transformed and was out of there in three seconds flat.
*
"Vhe meet again, Emma."
I didn't turn around, but I could tell from the way his voice sounded that Blitzwing was in his holoform. I stood up though, and tried to keep my voice from shaking as I said: "It appears that we do, Blitzwing." As I said it, I wondered why the slag is he here?
Of course, there could only be one reason – he wanted to All-Spark.
Didn't he know that it had almost completely extinguished itself from me, and that my twins combined probably had more power then me? Slag, probably even Bee and Star had more power then me, not to mention Bia and Opti…
Of course, I kept these thoughts to myself, as I turned around slowly to see Blitzwing smirking at me.
His holoform was reminiscent of a German military soldier…hey, hang on, weren't we fighting against them in WWII!?
I crossed my arms. "What do you want, Blitzwing?" Why did you come here in your holoform, is more like it?
His tone of voice implicated his cold face. "To talk – zhat iz not against the law, iz it?"
I regarded him coolly, already judging how long it would take me to transform. But…there was no way he'd attack me in a cemetery, right? "So talk." I responded.
His tone of voice changed. "Zhat iz more like it!" He sounded thrilled. "I have waited zuch a long time to talk with you, Emma. Before he vhas put off-line, Starscream told me much about you…"
I
paled. "What did he
tell you?"
Blitzwing
smirked. "Oh, don't worry – he did not tell me about zhat,
although we all know vhat vent on between you two."
I stopped judging how long it would take for me to transform, and began judging how many punches I could get in before he transformed.
Blitzwing seemed to sense my thoughts, but his smirk grew as he went on: "Zo, you haff given birth to twin girls, correct?"
I nodded once.
"And von is Starscream's, whilst ze other is zat yellow Autobot's?"
"Can we just wrap this up please, Blitzwing?" I asked him, and then I froze as his red eyes glowed. "What???"
"Nothing," He shook his head, but took a few step closer to me. I couldn't step back, because of the graves behind me. I began judging my transformation sequence but, before I could, Blitzwing threw something at me.
The chords wrapped around me, and then began shocking me.
I yelled in pain as I fell to my knees, and closed my eyes in pain as the voltage increased, and I fell to the ground.
"EMMA!!!!"
I heard the voice as if it were calling to me from another planet. My body hurt so much! But, I lifted my head and was able to shout: "BUMBLEBEE!!"
At once I felt the voltage decrease, and then extinguish, leaving me feeling sore and stiff as I heard running footsteps.
Then, the face of Bee's holoform swarmed above me, and I felt the ropes being pulled away from my body.
"Emma, oh Primus, Emma are you alright!?" Bee cried, taking me in his arms and placing his hands around my face. "Emma, please!"
"Bee…" I whispered, my throat felt sore from all of the shocking.
"Em…" Bee hugged me to him, and I hugged him back as best I could.
"Wh…where I he? Blitzwing…" I looked into Bee's aqua eyes.
"He got away," Bee said grimly, and then stood up, holding me in his arms bridal-style. "Em…"
"Please…don't say…what were you thinking…" I choked out.
Bee shook his head. "I wasn't going to. I was actually going to say…" He paused for effect, and then said: "I love you."
I had to smile back. "I love you too."
We kissed, and every other thought flew out of my mind instantly.
