The last line is from Transformers: Prime, "Darkness Rising Part 1, or 2." Not sure which it is, but its when they kill Cliffjumper. Arcee says that line and I thought it was perfect for this. So, just added some of my own words to it. Thought it fit the ending to this chapter nicely.

Warning: A bit of a tearjerker. Just used my own characters and own thoughts/ideas as I went into more detail from that scene in Dark of the Moon when the Autobots get launched.

I do not own any part of the Transformers franchise. Transformers belongs to it's sole producers, companies and franchises.

Enjoy! All reviews are welcome!

XOXOX

It was dusk and the sun had started to set as they arrived to their destination in Florida. As the Autobots transformed and started to make their way towards their spacecraft, the Chevrolet specialty SUV's protected the ramp from the rear as no one was permitted beyond that point, unless they were authorized. And as Carly looked back at the Chevrolet SUV's lined up in a row with their lights flashing, it was almost eerie in a way with the sunset and all. The sunset was the most goldest of gold's and before it reached the horizon, there was just a hint of pink as it gradiated into the gold. It was absolutely breath taking and she wished she could spend it on top of her balcony with Optimus, instead of seeing the Autobots off out of the atmosphere forever. Carly couldn't help but to think as her thoughts were quickly broken as she thought she saw Epps standing near their spacecraft.

"Epps!" Carly questioned as she nervously approached him, considering it's been like five years since she's seen him.

"Carly, Carly Miller?" Epps equally questioned as they approached each other.

"Oh my God…what are you doing here?" Carly couldn't help but to question as they gave each other a welcoming hug.

"I quite the military and started working here…we're kicking the Autobots out." Epps explained as he was in disbelief that this was happening.

"Can you believe this is happening?" Epps softly questioned.

"No, I can't. Excuse me Epps…" Was all Carly said as she tried to fight back the tears as she made her way towards Optimus.

And as she did, Optimus just had to transform down into his human form so that he could be closer Carly. But without even speaking to one another, their lips became instantly locked to one another as they both practically drew each other in. And in a weird and unexplainable way, it was the most perfect kisses of all perfect kisses portrayed in the movies. The breeze slightly blew Carly's hair in which Optimus couldn't help but to softly rack his fingers through. And as he did, she couldn't help but to clutch on to his wrist as he brushed the palm of his hand against the skin of her cheek. That was without realizing that the Decepticon on her wrist started to go off when she clutched onto his wrist. In fact, she had forgotten all about that damn thing until now when it reminded her that it was attached to her. Carly remembered as she instantly brought her hand away from Optimus as the pain was beginning to be painful, however…there was no way she was going to let some Decepticon ruin their absolutely perfect kiss. Carly couldn't help but to think as she could feel Optimus slowly begin to pull away. And as he finally did, she wanted to grab onto the back of his neck and bring him close to her again…but knew she couldn't. She couldn't help but to think as Optimus finally began to speak as he had seemed to break the awkward silence that seemed to be between them.

"You look absolutely beautiful tonight. If we must leave, at least this image of you will be with me forever…not that you wouldn't be with me forever anyway. You just look breath taking Carly." Optimus told her while he took both of her wrists into the palm of his hands and drew her close to him before he brought her into his chest.

"I still can't believe you're leaving like this. You promised me you wouldn't leave me again!" Carly cried as she couldn't help but to literally punch him on the chest up close by his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Carly, what am I suppose to do?..."

"What are you suppose to do? You're Optimus Prime, do something!" Carly demanded.

"Don't you think I wish I could!..."

"Come on Optimus!" Carly began as she could really start to feel the Decepticon go off, in which it nearly took her breath away as she tried to gather herself before Optimus figured out she had a Decepticon attached to her.

"Come on Optimus, there's gotta be a plan! You've gotta have something secret planned on how you're going to attack back. You're not just going without a fight! Optimus, you know you can tell me anything. You can tell me the plan that you have…no other human will ever know!" She cried as by now she can barely take the Decepticon that was attached to her.

Before Optimus told her the heartbreaking truth, all he could do was just hold her close to him for as long as he possibly could. And seeing now that Carly was on the verge on breaking now, Lennox thought he should start making his way up to where Carly was. That way if she did break down, she would have someone to lean on. Lennox couldn't help but to think as he slowly started to approach them.

"I know I can trust you…but as of now…there is no plan." Optimus heavy-heartedly explained as Carly laid her head down on his chest.

And by now, she didn't even care about the Decepticon. In fact, she didn't know which felt worse…the pain from the Decepticon, or the pain from loosing Optimus? Carly couldn't help but to think as she felt his index finger slip under her chin as he forced her to look up at him as he took his lips into hers in one last kiss.

"You will always be mine Carly…and…I'll always love you…Please, just remember that…" Optimus replied as they pulled away.

"You are mine as well. There is no other one for me. I will love you always." Carly told him as she could feel him slowly, ever so slowly pull away from her.

And as he pulled away from her, he transformed back into his true form as he looked down at her before he finally started to walk away to join the others. However, he just couldn't leave without saying, or requesting one thing.

"Colonel Lennox, if there's anything you can do for me…would you mind doing me one favor?" Optimus questioned as he looked down at Lennox who was now with Carly.

"Anything Optimus…"

"Would you mind looking after Carly for me? You're one of the only other human who I have been close to and I know you're close with Carly as well. If you could do me that one favor…I will forever be grateful." Optimus asked.

It took Lennox a minute to respond back to Optimus. He stood behind Carly as she looked back at him after Optimus asked that of Lennox. How could he not have said yes? Lennox couldn't help but to think to himself as he brought his arms around the back of Carly's waist, in which to his surprise she took a hold of his hands.

"Of course Optimus, you can count on me." Lennox told him as Optimus began to walk away again. If Lennox agreed to do that one thing that Optimus asked of him, Optimus knew Carly would forever be safe and well cared for.

And by now, Carly almost couldn't take it. As Optimus began to get farther and farther away, she buried her head into Lennox's chest as she watched Optimus bored their spacecraft. However, now that Optimus and the others were getting ready to be launched out of Earth's atmosphere, she couldn't help but to wonder why the Decepticon was still attached to her. She asked Optimus what his plans were, just as Dylan asked of her and she knew him and the rest of the Decepticons now knew the answer. But if she knew that, she still couldn't help but to wonder why it was still attached? She couldn't help but to think as she broke away from Lennox to give Dylan a call to try to figure out why the Decepticon was still attached to her.

"Okay Dylan, you got what you wanted. Now detach this damn thing from me!" Carly demanded as Dylan answered his phone.

"I know, I always get what I want Carly. We knew they were going to be launched out of our atmosphere…but we just needed to be sure…"

"Be sure of what! If you already knew they were leaving, what did you need to be sure of!" Carly questioned as by now their spacecraft had already launched successfully.

"That they would go without a fight!" Was all Dylan told her.

However, within seconds that Dylan told her that, off towards the distance up in the sky, an F-22 Raptor could be seen flying towards the Autobots spacecraft. Instantly Carly knew it was Starscream and had to let the control room know that a Decepticon was A: in their air space and B: that there was even a Decepticon flying towards them. Although deep down in her heart, she knew that they saw the F-22 on their screens and at the rate Starscream was flying, there was nothing they could do. And Carly damn well knew that as she watched as fate took its course.

Warning sirens blared in the background as debris from the blown up spacecraft fell from the sky. Instantly Carly fell into Lennox's arms as finally, finally the Decepticon detached itself from her wrist as Carly smashed it with her high heels. And she knew then that, that was why the Decepticon still stayed attached to her until now. They wanted to be absolutely sure that the Autobots would go without a fight. And she thanked God that Lennox was there to hold her because if he wasn't, she wasn't sure how she would be able to stand as she watched fate take its course. However, she about had it as she started to make her way towards the Chevrolet SUV's as Lennox stopped her.

"Carly…" Lennox replied as he dragged her back towards him.

"Standing here sulking and watching the debris fall from the sky isn't going to bring Optimus back!..."

"Carly…" Lennox said again, however…she just looked back at him as she couldn't bring herself to say anything while she continued to make her way towards the Chevrolet SUV's.
