CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Love Taught Me
***
Meg: We're drawing to a close here, peoples! I'm sorry if you don't like this ending, but I am nothing if not a little bit creative. I like to shock you.
Wasp: Uh, that's my job…and don't tell me to be dead again!
Meg: Okay then. I won't.
Wasp: …I'm speechless.
Blurr: Now-THERE'S-a-first!!

ONE YEAR LATER…
Optimus Prime's P.O.V:
One year has passed since Emma sacrificed her life to bring back to life those she loved, and to give two others a chance at life. Her sacrifice was not in vain, and it will never be forgotten, for all eternity, in the generations to come her story will be told over and over again, so that it may always be remembered.
The Decepticons have been destroyed, once and for all, and none of them remain on this planet, but we will continue to remain here, as this is where our lives are.
Sentinel Prime and Elita1 are together, and are thinking about starting a family soon, although Sentinel is still finding new things to be scared of here on earth.
Sunstreaker says that he isn't ready to have sparklings yet, because taking care of Kelsi is a full-time job for him. Backdraft says that Sunstreaker is just worried that the sparklings will turn out more beautiful than he is.
Sideswipe and Arlexa have their hands full at the moment, trying to convince Kelsi that pranking everyone five times a week isn't a healthy occupation. Kelsi counters this, by saying that if she needs help, Ironhide will protect her. She and him are currently creating the world's longest friendship bracelet, in colours of pastel pink and yellow.
Hornet and Moth are thinking of having another sparkling, and Ratchet and Sky Dragon are just wondering how on earth a vampire-bot can have a sparkling in the first place! Meanwhile, Dragonfly has scanned a new alte mode, and has gained the ability to turn into a giant metal dragonfly.
Moondancer is still trying to convince Wasp to turn her into a vampire-bot too, but he keeps trying to come up with reasons why she wouldn't want to be one. So far, he's losing, two hundred and six to three.
Sunchaser and Blurr accidentally got roped into joining an underground racing circuit, and no one on this planet is fast enough to beat them. There is a whole room at the base where they keep all of their fool's gold trophies.
Arcee has started up a school for the young bots and humans children at the base, teaching them everything they need to know about life. Prowl is there too – he's teaching them Circuit-Su, with the help of his assistants, Jazz and Shadow. Jazz is also teaching the young ones the finer points of culture here on earth, including heavy metal music, break-dancing and 'what movies are hot and what movies are not'.
Stream Fire and Barricade are expected to become parents sometime soon, and Sunstreaker and Sideswipe have a bet pool going, with most bets placed on the sparkling becoming a police helicopter. Stream Fire is still trying to convert Barricade into a real 'good cop', but she can't get him to remove the words To Punish And Enslave from the side of his vehicle form.
Zikya and Wheeljack's son, Prometheus, is a very healthy child, despite being born a couple of months early. He learned how to walk and talk faster than any human sparkling known, just to be able to keep up with the rest of us. Zikya and Wheeljack are extremely proud parents, and hope that Prometheus will become an inventor just like they are.
Angelina didn't get in trouble for singing someone else's song on international radio, but she did decide to give up her singing career, and instead went into the ice-cream business with Skids and Mudflap, driving around and selling ice-cream to kids on hot days. We're…still trying to figure out if this is a good thing or not.
Bianca and I had a sparkling, a healthy fem-bot we named Prisma. She has the qualities of a leader, which Bianca says she gets from me, and all of the grace and beauty of her Mother. I've been told that I am a little overprotective of my sparkling, but I'm sure everyone understands.
Shooting Star and Honey Bee are still the best of friends, and are growing up slowly but steadily, their aging process slowed down so that they may be immortal also. As Rainbow Light, they enjoy flying with the Jetfire, Jetstorm and Blitzwing, who wanted to teach the girls German. Jetfire and Jetstorm wished to teach them Russian, and an argument occurred. They finally agreed to teach their own respective spark-mates their own respective languages, which turned out to be pointless, as the girls just taught the other language to each other.
Bumblebee and Starscream watch their daughters grow up, guiding them with love and care, and never do they forget to remind the girls of their brave Mother. Bumblebee and Starscream both still ache for their spark-mate, and have never forgotten her. They never will, as long as their sparks still remember her, and the rings still remain welded to their fingers.
None of us will ever forget her.
I am Optimus Prime.
And I send this message out to everyone.
I watch over my Autobot family, and will continue to watch over them, and anyone who joins us in the future.
I just wish that Emma could have been here, to share in all of this with us.
She could have taught us so much.
Oh, wait, I realise, smiling as a group of blue butterflies flies past me and into the pristine blue sky. She already has.

'And I know you won't belong, til' you turn to a butterfly,
I know you're weak but you're hanging on,
Cause' you're dreaming of a broken sky…'

Meg: There we go! My fan fic is finished (with inspiration drawn from both Ark and Lifehouse (that's a band, by the way, peoples).
Stream Fire: We are not peoples!
Meg: *Rolls eyes* Whatever. Anyway, please read my fan fic, Violet Creation, starring Celestia, Celestine and…Barricade! I hope to have chapter two up soon!
Barricade: Yes, read it, or I will punish and enslave you.
Stream Fire: Okay!
Barricade: -_-;;;;;;;;
