"I want you all to stay in here, do not leave the room." The teacher said, walking slowly to the door, not wanting to go out in fear of getting shot. Te teacher jumped back, which caused a few students to scream, but they quietened down when the two enforcers walked back into the room confused.

Everyone said nothing, not wanting to be the first to speak. But the teacher collected himself and asked for everyone. "What happened out there?"

The two enforcers looked at each other, they looked like they were a having a conversation on their com-links. When they turned back towards the teacher, the mech spoke. "Nothing happened."

The teacher spluttered. "What do you mean nothing happened?"

"Just as I have said, nothing happened. My partner is going to com head quarters and bring in reinforcement and we will gather statements , we have to investigate on what the noises were, for all we know, they could all just be a prank from one of the students. No one leaves or go home, if the parents start to call, please inform us and we will deal with it. Now, if you will excuse us" And with that, the two enforcers left to meet the others outside for investigation.

The teacher nodded, "Okay everyone, please sit down, lesson is over for today, just talk among yourselves." The teacher then sat back at his desk and started working on some papers.

Soon, all the students were sitting on desks or chairs, talking within their groups. Jazz moved over to were Prowl was sitting and plunked is aft atop Prowl's desk. "So, ah guess we 'ave a free period," Prowl only nodded. "Ya know, ah was going ta ask if we could hang out sometime." Prowl again only nodded, Bluestreak sat looking around, curious to what was going on.

"Ya seem ta be very quiet, what's up?"

"It's strange," Jazz sat with a confused look on his face, he had no idea what Prowl was on about. Prowl now looked to Jazz, "How there was gunshots and even a femme screaming, it sounded so real. But there is no one out there that could prove that those sounds are real."

"That's some real in-dept thinking ya 'ave there." Jazz said.

Prowl nodded, but continued, "Indeed, but I still think more is going on."

"Right, of course, maybe we should just let that go, tha teachers can tell us more tomorrow. Lets talk 'bout somethin' else... Like, what ya did this morning?" Jazz ask, he wanted to move on to something else, the things that happened today were giving him the creeps and he would like to more away from that subject.

Prowl could see Jazz wanted to move along, so he did. "I met a mech this morning, he was very nice."

"Ah what!"

"A mech, I saw one of his parents yelling at him. It was a bit rough at the start, but we started to get to know each other. His name is Red Alert and he is very shy and sweet, he likes to play the same board games as me, he also loves sweets and small animals. I wouldn't mind becoming friends with him." Prowl said with a smile, he then felt Bluestreak slipping and he pulled him up again, taking out a datapad with a pen so the sparkling could draw.

Jazz sat quiet, this mech already seems close to Prowl, and was friends with him quicker then Jazz himself. How dare he, he wants to meet this new friend. Jazz then noticed Prowl waiting to hear his thoughts on the mech he was talking about. "Ah... He sounds nice, might want ta meet him one day."

Prowl smiled with a nod, "You would meet him for sure, he comes to this school as well." The Praxian looked down at the drawing Bluestreak made, it looked more like a scribble then anything else.

"Ah'm sure he does." Jazz grumbled, usually he loved to meet new mechs, just not mechs that were better friends with Prowl then he is. Jazz then stopped his thoughts, he sounded rather possessive of Prowl, and jealous that another mech became closer friends then he did. Those were bad thoughts, Prowl seemed happy that he made a new friends, he should too, he felt angry when Prowls last friends left him, but he was also upset that Prowl was making new friends, these were bad thoughts indeed.

Prowl then started talking about something else, Jazz listened quietly, he was happy that Prowl was not so closed up. He should feel happy that he has made a friend too, he wouldn't be a good friend if he didn't at lest felt happy for Prowl. But he still wanted to meet this Red Alert, just to make sure he was what Prowl said he was.

Prowl walked down the empty streets after a long day of school, he was glad that he could finally go home after what had happened earlier. But not only did he stay back for that, no, he wanted to stay back to study a little more in the library. Of course he was only trying to avoid the talk with his mother. Now almost every shop was closed or closing, the only things open were restaurants, energon stores or bars.

Suddenly, loud barking and a hiss was heard to the side ally, Prowl jumped and quickly looked down, only to see that Bluestreak was still sleeping. This made the young Praxian sigh, his optics traveled back up to the ally, the barking stopped, but growls replaced it. Prowl was temped to continue walking, but chose against it.

He strode over to the even darker ally, looking in to see shadows of two canines growling as they cornered a feline hissing and growling with it's back arched. Prowl wanted to intervene and stop the dogs from hurting the cat, but he didn't want to get Bluestreak or himself get hurt in the process.

The young mech looked around for something to use, finding an empty glass bottle that used to be filled with high grade lying upright on the ground, he grabbed it and chucked it near the dogs, so not to hit them.

"Get out of here!" He yelled in a deep voice, hoping to scare the bigger animals away.

Lucky for him, the canines scampered off in a haste. Hearing clinking sounds of metal against metal told Prowl that these dogs were owned by someone as they had collars on them.

Prowl sighed, he was happy that those dogs were not stray, then he wouldn't know what they would have done to him. Looking back to see the cat sitting there staring at him hissing. Prowl sighed again, kneeling down and putting his hand out he called softly. "Come on out, I am not going to hurt you." The cat hissed again and backed up, going behind the stacks of crates.

Not long after that, Prowl heard smaller, quieter meows. Standing back up, gripping tighter on the sleeping Bluestreak, he made his way around the crates and peaked over to see the cat licking one of the three tiny kittens with it. Seeing this told him that this cat was a female and she was defending her litter from the dogs. Prowl wanted to help them, knowing that the mother of the kittens was having trouble feeding because she looked rather thin. Prowl knew that he couldn't take them home, his parents wouldn't allow him. He had to do something, but what?

Prowl arrived at a small door, ringing the bell and waiting for someone to answer. Soon a small mech answered he door, looking questionable at him, his optics also caught the sparkling in one hand and a large box in the other. "Um... Can I help you?" The mech asked, his voice soft and quiet, almost like Red Alerts.

"Hello, I am Prowl, I am a sort of friend of Red Alert. Is he here?"

The mech nodded with a smile and turned back to the house, calling louder in his still soft voice. "Red, you have a friend here that wants to see you." The mech turned back to Prowl and nodded, moving out of the way to let Red Alert come through.

Prowl smiled to the smaller white and red mech, "Hello, I have something for you." Prowl passed the box over to Red Alert, who put the box down and opened it to see a cat with her three little kittens inside. "I couldn't keep them, my parents wouldn't allow it, and I would give them to Jazz... But I don't know where he lives. So I was hoping you can look after them, I heard that you rather liked small animals.

Red Alert smiled, "They are beautiful, how did you get the mother in the box? She looks like a stray."

"Lots of patience, it took half an hour to get her in, she really didn't trust bots."

The smaller mech nodded and picked the box up again, turning back to Prowl before saying. "Would you like to come in, I usually don't get much company, so I don't have any snacks, sorry."

"No, no, it's fine. I have to go home though, I have to speak with my mother." Prowl replied, this caused Red Alert to frown, but he smiled after and said good bye. Prowl left quickly after that, he would have to get home quick, his parents are most likely worried about him now.

As soon as Prowl reached the door, it flung open to two worried faces. Bluestreak, who is now awake, giggled and smiled at them. Holding his arms out, Decode, Prowls father, grabbed Bluestreak. He was about to leave but quickly reminded Prowl of what he was supposed to be doing. "Talk with your mother, Prowl."

"Oh, Prowl. I was so worried, where have you been?" The femme gripped Prowl and hugged him to her, holding tight.

"I was just at a friends, and I also stayed back late to study."

Serenity scoffed and hit the back of Prowl's head, "Don't you dare scare me like that, I am still your mother and as long as I am you are my responsibility."

"Sorry."

The green femme sighed, "Prowl... I would like to talk with you, about last night."

Prowl nodded and they both went inside, they went to the sitting room, Prowl's mother guided Prowl to sit first and then sitting herself. Both were quiet for a moment, unsure of what to say. Then Serenity spoke up, "Prowl, I'm really sorry about my actions last night, I never meant to hurt you. I just..."

"It's fine mother, I understand."

"No. Prowl listen, what I said to you last night was rude and selfish of me, and I will never do such things again. Bluestreak is a beautiful child, and I would never want to take him away from you." Serenity sighed, looking away from Prowl.

"Mother, I understand. You were worried about me, and I should have talked to you instead of yelling. We could have solved the matter in a much more... Calm way." Prowl smiled to his mother, leaning into her and getting comfortable. He had is back against Serenity, while his legs were bent up on the couch. The green femme smiled and stroked Prowl's face, humming slightly.

No matter what, Prowl was always her little sparkling, and now Prowl has his own sparkling. She just wished he didn't have it so early, then Prowl wouldn't have to grow up so fast. Maybe she should have another one, now that's a thought. Then Bluestreak would also have a play-mate, but she would have to have a debate about this with her bondmate before anything happens.

The femme looked down at Prowl, only to see him already in a light sleep. This made her smile even more, Prowl was so special to her, and it shocked her about how much she hurt him. But that was not going to happen again, no, she will be more calm, as Prowl says. It wasn't so bad about Prowl having Bluestreak, and it didn't matter what others thought about it, they were unimportant.

A/N: And done!

I hope you are happy about this chapter being out faster then the other chapters, I was in a writing spree or something. The last scene of this chapter didn't come out how I like it, no matter how much I re-wrote it. Oh well, it's good enough.

Anyways, there is more planned about what happened in the first scene, even Prowl knows. But that is also for a later date, I might even drop a few hints about what it was about. But don't worry guys, this story will start getting more exciting, been a bit slow lately.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading, and also thanks!
