Hey guys. The next couple of chapters will be Christmassy and in the time frame of December to January. Enjoy.

I just love Christmas- Family Moments

No Ones POV

The autobot base was quiet nothing stirred or moved. The commanding officers were in meetings with their human allies while most of the base was in the rec room watching the TV or just chilling after a hard week of fighting Decepticons. In the rec room was Karen Hide with a couple of her friends and her brother as they talked about random things that none of the other bots could understand from what they were saying.

Karen's POV

I gave a laugh at what the twins had said. It was the beginning of the Christmas month and the base had gone all out with the decorations. Most of the guys thought it would be funny to place mistletoe on every place that I and Sunny sat at in base which had pissed off dad big time. After my disappearing act last month I wasn't allowed to leave the sight of the bots unless it was school or I was at the Lennox's which I had been doing a lot of this month as Galloway was being more of a jerk than normal that had made me annoyed with him along with the others.

"What we doing this Christmas than?" Jazz asked.

"What we always do," I replied. "Hey Jazz how about skating on the lake now."

Jazz nodded in agreement as we left the rec room to grab what we needed and so that I could grab my coat and gloves so that Ratchet didn't kill me for being irresponsible for getting a cold when I could have prevented it. I gave a small sigh at the coldness that reminded me of the UK before Jazz came over and said that the other bots were joining in as well as some of the soldiers that were off duty. The lake had frozen over with some snow on the edges. Some of the commanding officers had made it clear the ice was safe as one of them had fallen over from a prank we had pulled and declared it was safe to skate on.

The snow had been piled up on one side and had a path cutting through it so that we humans didn't hurt ourselves by slipping on the ice that ran underneath the snow. There was a layer of grit on the path that Inferno must have put there as he loved being on the ice just like the other wreakers did-properly because they all fall over and can piss each other off at the same time; speaking about the wreakers they were all laugh as Ironfist fall over right into Topspin that yelled at him.

"Yo Wreakers cool it," I said to them.

"Hey kiddo," Leadfoot called before he was knocked over by Seaspray making me laugh at the sight. "Seaspray bugger off."

I heard some of the bots laugh making me turn to them before I was tackled in the snow with Sunny on top of me.

"Hello," I said before chucking a handful of snow into his face. "Now get off me because I have snow getting into my jeans."

Sunny chuckled before pulling me up, placed a kiss on my lips before Sides yanked me away from him, and ran off with me on his shoulder with me yelling insults at him. Jazz, Bee and Sunny chased after us before Sides put me down on the ice of the lake and I stumbled, falling over making them laugh as Leadfoot pulled me to my feet and mumbled something about immature younglings making me laugh at him.

"Hey Karen want to bet that I skate better than you," Jazz challenged me.

"Bring it Jazz," I replied, as I pulled my skates on before going onto the ice.

I could remember my first Christmas here where the bots had no idea on how to skate and I and the rest of the soldiers had to teach them how to do it.

Flashback Three years ago

"You guys can't skate?" I asked in amazement looking at the bots.

"No Karen we don't," Optimus replied.

"What's the point of the skating lark?" Dad asked unimpressed as I laughed.

"Because what happens if the cons attack in the winter and you guys can't get the upper vantage as you can't skate on ice," I replied. "Hey Will do we have any ice skates around here?"

"Try and ask Lizzy," came his reply as he walked past talking to Epps that ruffled my hair.

"K thanks," I said before running off to find Lizzy that was in hanger ten, talking to Figg as I entered the hanger.

"What you need Karen?" Lizzy asked as I stopped running.

"You got any skates Lizzy?" I asked, between getting my breath back. "I'm teaching the bots how to skate for battle reasons."

She nodded, as Galloway was in the hanger and he still didn't like me being here.

"Here you go kiddo," she said. "Go quickly before Galloway stops them."

I nodded, giving her my thanks before going back to the main hanger were the bots were.

"Karen we don't really want to skate," Jazz said. "Besides the cons won't be that stupid to fight us on ice."

"Oh really Jazz," I said, being sarcastic as I laced up the skates and pulled my gloves and hat on. "Outside now. Dad little help please."

Dad chuckled as he picked me up and carried me out of the base with the other's following. I was grateful for Sarah getting me the new winter coat as it was freezing outside with some of NEST going around making sure the ground was safe as well as the ice for me.

"Hey Karen the ice is safe for you and the bots," a soldier said.

I nodded from my position of dad's hand and gave a yelp as he hold me upside down with the rest of the Autobots laughing at the sight as I yelled at him.

"Put me the right way now," I yelled as the blood rushed to my head. "Daddy please."

"Put her the right way Ironhide," Ratchet said. "I think the wreakers want to see how tough she is."

"Who are the Wreakers?" I asked, the moment I was the right way up again.

"The Wreakers Karen is a special task force, generally composed of the best and the toughest die-hard fighters around. Its ranks comprise a who's-who of the obscure; they are mechs you have never heard much about, mostly because the Wreckers are often called in to fight when the odds of success are slim. Bluntly, they tend to burn through their roster at a frightening rate. The Wreckers are a close-knit group that's more concerned with bursting in, guns-blazing, and doing their Thing, than they are concerned with, say, strategy. Despite their disregard for planning and the body count their team mounts, the Wreckers are amazingly successful. If it's a lost cause, the Wreckers will be there, winning the day with sheer guts and determination," Prowl replied as we reached the iced over lake. "Are you positive this is safe Sir?"

"Yes I am Prowl," Optimus replied. "Karen what is that you would like us to do?"

"Activate your holograms," I ordered as I was placed onto the ground.

The bots holograms appeared in front me, with their winter clothes on. Dad gave a smile as I skated a little on the ice, to get used to the way it was before I skated back to the bots that watched me.

"Okay guys, how many of you know how to skate on wheels?" I asked knowing which bots would answer me.

The Arcee twins, Sideswipes and Jazz raised their hands and saw that I have five bots that could help me with this.

"Okay, Chromia, Arcee and Elita you three can teach Bluestreak, Bumblebee and some of the others to skate while Jazz gets Prowl, Wheeljack and Ratchet and Sides and me get the other bots," I said, pointing the bots I wanted to go in each group. "If you misbehave you get me teaching you for the entire week and I will make cons look like little babies."

The bots nodded, as I meant business and the fact my dad was glaring at them.

Two hours later

I gave a small smile at the sight around me. Most of the bots where skating around laughing before my glance flicked to Optimus and dad that weren't doing anything. I skated over to them and glared at them both.

"What are you two doing?" I asked.

"Nothing," dad replied as I glared at him. "Karen how will this benefit me as I am the weapon specialists."

"Don't make me get the others to help me drag you onto the ice and teach you how to skate," I threatened, growling.

Optimus gave a weak smile as I glared at him, before I yanked him up and grabbed his arm onto the ice.

"You are not doing anything unless you can skate around the lake," I ordered. "Understand Prime."

He nodded as he stumbled on the ice, making me smile.

"You getting your dad back for this?" Optimus asked as he followed me, as I skated backwards, holding his hands.

"Yep," I replied. "And I know just the bots to help me with it."

Optimus gave a chuckle before I let go of his hands and skated out of his reach. He stumbled again before catching his balance and went after Elita that had been teasing him as he wouldn't skate with us. I gave a smile at the way my family was acting before skating towards my father that was still watching everyone. I managed to catch Sunny eye as I skated past him. He could properly tell what I was going to do as he skated in front of me so that my dad couldn't see me as I crept towards him with Jazz picking me up so that I didn't fall over in the snow.

"Hey oldie," Sunny said as me and Jazz got behind dad. "You too scared of skating or something like that?"

"Frag off Sunstreaker," dad growled. "Where's my daughter gone?"

I nodded to Jazz that placed me on the ground before I jumped onto dad's back and we both went face first into the ice. I gave a smile before grabbing his arms and pulled him to his feet.

"Dad it be fine," I told him as he looked at me uncertain. "Dad why do you fear the ice so much?"

"Your mother taught me how to skate just before we found out she was pregnant," he replied. "When she disappeared I refused to go onto the ice. Even when you were here six years ago I wouldn't go onto the ice; Jazz and Sides taught you to skate as I wouldn't."

I looked at him in shock before he grabbed my hand and took me across the ice.

End of flashback

"What you daydreaming about?" Sunstreaker asked as we skated across the ice.

"Just the fact that three years ago you guys refused to go onto the ice and me, Jazz, the Arcee sisters and Sides had to teach you all," I replied.

"And that your dad wouldn't join in," he said, making me frown slightly at him. "Karen everyone knew the reason why he wouldn't skate and he has only been skating these past three years so that the cons can't use that as an advantage and hurt you physically and mentally."

I nodded as Optimus came out telling us we were needed in side.
