Note to Prowl fans: The plot in this short songfic is changed from Transformers Animated: Endgame. OK? And if you are emotional to Prowl's death, please be careful when reading. And special appearance from Sawyer! She will meet Riella in my third story (Spoiler!) Before endgame in her universe. OK? OK! On with the songfic!Means memories or thoughts.~~ means Prowl. One means Riella
Destruction was everywhere. Detroit was evacuated. Riella, Prowl and Jazz were sitting at the top of Sumdac Tower, trying desperately to use their processor over matter technique to pull in all the Allspark fragments to shield the Lugnut Supreme and to save the city. Sawyer and Prowl had already evacuated the city, along with their group of bots. But, there wasn't enough Allspark fragments. Prowl looked down at Optimus, who was fighting with Megatron infront of the explosive Supreme. "We're gonna need more spark to shield the city!" Jazz yelled. "Can't..pull in any more fragments...only..one way.." Prowl mumbled, constraiting harder on the spiky ball floating above them.
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
His body glowed a bright blue and he floated up to the ball of fragments. Riella's optics shot opened. Tears streaming down her face plates. ~Prowl! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!~ Riella said through the bond with Prowl. He responded through the bond to her. ~~I love you.~~ ~ Please stay with me! I love you so much! You're all I have! We'll find a different way!~ ~~Riella, my love, you are strong.~~ ~No I'm not! I need you!~ ~~ I love you. Goodbye Riella. "PROWL!" Riella shrieked as the burst of light blinded her and Jazz. The light faded and Prowl's body fell into Jazz's arms, lifeless and gray. "Everyone's OK!" Sawyer yelled from below, running and hugging her Prowl, who spun her around. "Not everyone." Jazz whispered, showing them Riella, sobbing into Prowl's lifeless shell.
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Jazz said this would be good for her. To see Sawyer and try to talk through her loss. It was five weeks since Prowl passed on. And she was feeling miserable. Riella opened the door and found Sawyer sitting behind a large desk, a chair for Riella was infront of the desk.
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Riella sat in the chair, fighting the tears and were strolling down her cheeks. "Hello." Sawyer said, looking at the spark broken femme. "Just tell me how you feel. That's how counseling helps." Sawyer continued. Riella's lips quivered and she literally screamed out the words. "Where did I go wrong? Why did he have to die? Why? Tell me Sawyer, WHY? Why, why, why?" Riella collapsed into tears, sobbing loudly as Sawyer sat and watched.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
"Riella. Riella, sister, look at me." Sawyer instructed, her voice soft and kind, like if she was talking to a sparkling. "No. Please don't look at me." Riella sobbed. "Riella-girl, please look at me, sweetie." Sawyer pleaded, cupping her hand under Riella's chin. Riella looked up at Sawyer through optics full of tears.
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
"Why, Sawyer? Why?" Riella cried. Sawyer looked at her and sighed, "He loved you, Riella. That's why. He loved everyone. He didn't want to see them hurt. He didn't want to see you hurt. He wanted us to be safe."
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
"But, why him? Why? Why is Megatron still alive and he died? Why, why, why?" Riella continued to scream and cried into her servos, the pain cutting through her like a knife.
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you
And pray to God, he hears you
Sawyer walked over to Riella and hugged her. The crying femme bawled into Sawyer's neck, pouring her spark out. A few tears started to appear in Sawyer's optics. She hated to see her friend cry and hated that Prowl had to die.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Riella cried until her voice became hoarse and no more tears leaked from her eyes. Sawyer pulled out of the hug, brushing the tears away. Then, she looked at Riella's tear-streaked faceplate. She wiped away her tears and gave her a small, hopeful smile.
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
"Riella-girl, Prowl will always be with us. With you." She then placed a hand over Riella's spark chamber and finished, "In here." Riella sighed and realized something. Since her universe was like Sawyer's and Prowl died the same way, they could have avoided this! "He could have been saved if you told me that your Prowl died! We could have avoided this!" Riella shrieked, pushing Sawyer away from her. Wait. What is she...DAMMIT! Sawyer realized what Riella was talking about. "Riella, stop! There was no other way! Stop acting so stupid!" Sawyer raised her voice, slamming her fist on the desk infront of her.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
Riella stared at Sawyer in shock, she couldn't believe she would actually say something like that. The words cut her like a knife. Tears flowed from her blue optics, her lips quivered. Her hands flew to her mouth, desperately trying to hold back a sob. Sawyer realized what she did and quickly hugged Riella.
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you begin to wonder why you came
Riella burst into tears and Sawyer followed her soon afterward. "I'm so sorry Riella. I never meant to hurt you! Please forgive me!" Sawyer begged, pain hitting her like waves. Riella nodded as she cried, "I forgive you. I really miss him though." Sawyer nodded and held her friend, not caring what was happening around them.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Sawyer leaned out of the hug and whispered, "You know, your Prowl had told me if we survived the battle, he would have asked you to become one with him." Riella looked at her in confusion until it hit her. He was going to ask her to be his spark mate! "But, he figured out that he was probably going to die, so her told me if he did, to give you this." Sawyer opened her servo and reveal a diamond and gold ring, the size of Riella's finger. Riella took the ring. The words "I love you forever" Were etched along the inside of the ring.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
"I really hoped to see that day. Maybe one day, if I can ever get my necklace back, I will. And you'll be happy, just like I was when Prowl asked me to be his sparkmate." Sawyer smiled, wiping fresh tears away from Riella's face.

"Thanks, Sawyer. Thanks for being a great friend." Riella said, hugging her friend again. "Well, I have to thank you first! You helped me get away from the Decepitcons!" Sawyer let out a small laugh. Riella nodded and walked out of the room. Riella looked at the ring and placed it on her finger. She looked up at the sky, placed three fingers to her lips, kissed them, and aimed them towards the air.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

"Prowl, where ever you are, remember that I love you." Riella whispered as she walked outside.

"I love you too, Riella." A ghostly white and blue Prowl whispred before fading away into the air. He might have been gone but, he was always with Riella.
How to save a life
And always will.
