Hey Guys. Merry Christmas to you all. Enjoy this chapter and if you could kindly do my poll I would be grateful. Here is my Christmas present to my readers of this story so enjoy.

Sweetness of Christmas for the bots and cons

On Christmas Eve, the base was hectic; everyone was making sure everything was ready for Christmas. Soldiers with families that didn't know about the autobots where going home, while Epps, Lennox and Lizzy were staying as their family had come to base, or in Lizzy's case as her family didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

The tree was hard to get to with the 10cm radius of presents around it that stacked high and far. There was the smell of cooking and baking from the kitchen where Sarah, Maggie and Kylie (Maggie's cousin) were making mince pies and Christmas puddings for tomorrow with the help of Annie. Dad and the bots where clearing the runway for the cons, with the Wreakers checking the boundaries and goofing around.

With the bots and everyone about the base, I was in my bedroom, wrapping my presents and chatting to the Primes that where slouching around my room about the relic and my mother as they kept on dropping hints about where she could be.

"Okay, I get the fact she isn't in America," I said as I wrapped up Annie's present. "So where is she on Earth guys?"

"Who said she was on Earth," Liego taunted as he handed me some scissors.

I frowned in thought before the door to the entrance of the apartment banged open with the Primes disappearing as I walked to the door and was nearly killed by a massive bear hug from someone.

"Bee as much as I have missed you I can't breathe," I gasped out from the tight hug my brother was going me.

He pulled back and I smiled seeing the pure happiness in his eyes as the cons were not causing any trouble and we would be spending Christmas together like a family. Hearing laughter, we turned to the door to see dad as he looked at us both. Both Bee and I stuck our tongues out at him before we tackled him to the ground as I was pulled into someone's chest.

"Hey Karen," Sunny said. "I believe the spirit of Christmas is working its magic."

I nodded, at him before pulling him down to place a kiss on his lips before I was pulled away from Sides that hugged me.

"The cons have arrived," dad said as he picked up my finished wrapped presents. "Optimus says that they will stay in the guest quarters and that we have to be up by 7 tomorrow.

I nodded before I was flung over Sunny's shoulder and he walked into my bedroom with Bee, Sides and Jazz joining us. With the snow falling out of my window and the fairy lights that decorated my bedroom, it felt like a place where magic could happen. Jazz started to tell a story of a pervious Christmas before I was born and I smiled, still talking with the Primes as I listened to Jazz and the others as we passed the time with the outside world becoming darker as the sunset and night rested on the base. With a pizza in between us all I started the a tale about the Christmas magic that had brought Annie's and Lizzy's attention as we had music playing and the smell of the baking and fresh pine drifted through the room as we talked.

"They are nearly here," Prowl said as we waited in the main hanger for the cons to arrive. "Optimus everything is ready for anything they might pull for our safety today and our allies."

My eyes searched the sky that had clouds drifting across it, with the sign that snow would begin falling again, for the sight of the fly bound cons as Sunny kept an eye on me as dad was escorting the grounded cons here along with Jazz and Bluestreak. I gave a sigh before we heard the rumbling of jets above us, as Optimus shifted his position so that we were all behind him with Prowl taking his left side, as they both turned their optics to the sky as I felt Sarah shiver in fear as the sound of transformation was heard.

"Prime I thought we would have no hostile today," Megatron said as some of the bots glared at him. "If I wanted to attack I would have done it by now."

I frowned slightly before dad appeared and took the right side of Optimus, glancing back to look at me as I smiled at him, before he turned his attention back to Megatron.

"Of course," Optimus replied. "Come on in Megatron."

With the cons in the base and had their weapons deactivated the humans and the bots that thought we would have fought the cons gave a calm and happy aura as I sat on Sunny's lap as we were in the human lounge as that was where we could all fit in easier than the rec room.

"So we open the presents now?" Sides asked.

"Of course," Optimus replied before we passed gift wrapped presents.

Ratchet started to lecture us at how much unhealthy food we were eating and the wine for that the teens and adults where drinking. Dad glared at Sam when he offered me some which I took to bug dad as he shifted his glare to him, making me stick my tongue out at him.

"Dad if you don't stop glaring you can't have your present," I said as I passed out my presents for everyone.

He muttered something in Cybertrion making the bots and cons busted out laughing, as the humans looked confused before we shrugged and went back to what we were doing. Some of us gave a smile at the smell of the dinner and the fact that we were not allowed to eat until Optimus and Megatron had decided to have a dance off on the Xbox making us all laugh at the sight of the two leaders dancing at the songs on the game.

When it was done we all crowded into the dining room with us all sitting on three long tables that had been pushed together and was nearly deteriorating over with the food covering it. Sitting in a sit between Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, Optimus stood up with a cup of Champagne and did a toast with Megatron doing the same, which kind of felt like an insult at what he said about us. That had made some of the bots mad and decided to throw food at him, making the dining room turn into a food fight battlefield with them showing who could throw more than the other fraction. With the humans running out as it started to turn nasty we walked into the Surveillance area to look at the damage as I hooked up the speakers to the surround System before cracking up the volume. Making a song to play in the dining room that stopped the food fight and made us humans laugh as the bots and cons started to clutch their ears from the sound as it vibrated the glass and made them stop fighting each other. As we went back to the living room, they came in, glaring at us as we laughed at them before we switched on the TV and watched The Muppets Christmas Carol.

"I demand more entertainment," Megatron said some time later after the movie had ended and we were watching some of Wallace and Gromit (A/N: Is not Christmas to me unless there is Wallace and Gromit on).

"Why don't we play Truth and Dare," I offered as the kids had gone to sleep.

"Okay," everyone said as we sat in a deformed circle shape with Sunny by me.

"Okay who's going first?" Prowl asked.

"I'll go," Will said. "Karen truth or dare?"

"Always me first," I said. "I pick… dare."

Will chuckled slyly before continuing. "I dare you Karen Hide to kiss Sideswipe, and you must tongue tie in front of Sunny."

My eyes flicked to the twin of my boyfriend that looked at me nervously as we looked at Sunny that was glaring at Will before turning his glare to us two.

"And if we refuse?" Sides asked as we shifted uncomfortably.

"You have to got to go around the base naked for a month," Will said making the immature lot laugh as we looked at each other before back at Will.

"Sides do we have our pride ruined or have your brother kill us later?" I asked.

"Sunny this kiss doesn't mean anything," he said to his brother. "She is yours and not mine."

"Get it over with," he said as he released my waist so that I was sitting in Sides lap. "For how long Will?"

"Five minutes while we do other dares," Will says. "And you do it right there in the corner where we can see you."

Sides stood up and we both walked to the corner Will pointed to before he leaned down to kiss me, making the others cat call and whistle making me wish the five minutes end quickly as he licked my bottom lip for entrance which I allowed as Will said we had no choice. I heard Sunny say insults under his breath as he watched us.

11:58pm Karen's Room

I gave a giggle as I was tickled by Sunny. We were in my bedroom as Annie was in a guest one as I had kept on bugging dad for me having Sunny in my room for Christmas.

"You okay?" I asked as he stopped before pulling me to him.

"Just don't think I'm talking to Will for a while," he said as he looked down at me.

"Hey that dare didn't mean anything," I said as I popped myself up with my elbows. "He is my best friend and that is how it will stay."

He nodded as he looked at the celling as I looked at him. I sighed slightly before I started to kiss his jaw line softly. He gave a moan before he turned his head back to me. I smiled as he kissed my neck slightly before pulling away as we heard my dad enter the apartment.

"We'll continue this when you have some sleep and not a minor," he replied, before kissing my forehead and turned off my light as I curled to his side and fell asleep.
