Disclaimer on 1st chapter.

I'm sorry for the late update. For starters I been sick, and the fact that I just found out that a relative of mine passed away.


Ratchet was rather releaved when Optimus com-linked him. He was happy that Nightfire had been found, safe as well as unharmed. However she required a bath. Ratchet sighed as he grabbed the tub, and filled it with warm soapy water. He better tell the humans that Nightfire was found. Ratchet noticed as June as well as Fowler when they stepped into the room as Jack, Miko and Raf approached them.

"Please say you found Nightfire." Miko begged while looking worried.

"No...you guys?" Fowler asked.

"No luck. It's like she's disappeared into thin air." Jack said shaking his head.

"Well we know she couldn't have gone far...she can't walk or fly yet." Raf said.

"Can she even transform yet?" Miko asked.

"You can all relax...Optimus found her. Also Nightfire has not yet taken a vechichle mode yet, she wont be walking for at least another few months yet and flying well that wont be for a while yet. I'm dreading the moment she learns...not all seekers are graceful on their first flight lessons. Don't even get me started on the number of ways how her first flight could go wrong or the number of injuries that could happen." Ratchet said as he approached them.

"So where was Nightfire?" June asked.

"Under Optimus' berth or bed as you humans call them. Appearently Nightfire requires another bath though." Ratchet said sighing.

"Should we tell the others that Nightfire has been found?" Jack asked.

"No." Ratchet said startling them.

"Why not? I mean we have very worried parents and bots looking for her!" Miko asked.

"Simple...we want Nightfire to be all cleaned up first before we inform the others that she's been found. Also to teach Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus a lesson you don't leave a sparkling unattended." Ratchet said smirking.

"Isn't that kind of cruel to do to the others?" Raf asked.

"Depends how you look at it...It's a form of punishiment, besides it's optimus' idea and I'm just supporting his decision." Ratchet said calmly.

"I suggest a play pen is needed so Nightfire doesn't crawl away again." June said.

"I agree...but it will take a few days too build one. Also test results of Nightfire's parents should be ready in two more days... enough time to have a play pen ready for Nightfire." Ratchet said before disappearing back into medbay. The humans retreated down the down the human quarters of the base too chill out and to avoid the other autobots for now.


Optimus looked down at Nightfire as she woke up with a cute little yawn. She then blinked her optics before she looked up at Optimus and gave him a happy chirp. "Hello little spark..." Optimus said smiling. "Guess what little one?" Nightfire tilted her head cutely at him as she stares up at him. "You're getting another bath." Optimus said smiling never noticing the look of horror that slowly appeared on Nightfire's cute face as Optimus carried her into Medbay. Ratchet then smiles at the sight of Nightfire in Optimus' arms.

"Hello sweet spark." Ratchet said making Nightfire give out a nervous chirp to him. "It's bath time." Nightfire's exspression clearly said, frag before she was lowered into the warm soapy water as she's given a bath. She squeaks and whines in protests as she's given her bath. once when she was all cleaned up she was wrapped in a warm fluffy towel. She was glaring at Ratchet as Optimus was holding her as he was gently drying her off.


Bulkhead and Ironhide both frowned. "How the slag did we loose Prowl, Jazz, Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus!?" Ironhide yelled frantically looking around for the two angry parents, and the two idiots that lost the sparkling in the first place.

"I have no idea...I hope the others are having better luck at finding Nightfire, then we are at trying to prevent Prowl and Jazz offlining Jacky and Ultra Magnus." Bulkhead said.

"We are never leaving Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus alone with the sparkling again." Ironhide said in frustration.

"Agreed..." Bulkhead said.

"Okay...You go left...I'll go right." Ironhide said before disappearing down the right hallway.

"Right." Bulkhead said as they split up too search for Jazz, Prowl, UltraMagnus and Wheeljack. "Jacky...of all the stunts to pull...what the slag were you thinking?" Bulkhead grumbled under his breath as he ran down the hallway.


Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Arcee, Bumblebee and Smokescreen meet up with each other. "Please say someone found Nightfire." Sideswipe begged.

"Nothing." Smokescreen said.

"I'M GOING TO KILL WHEELJACK AND ULTRA MAGNUS IF PROWL AND JAZZ DOESN'T GET TO THEM FIRST! SHE'S OUR BABY SISTER!" Sunstreaker snarled as he stormed down a hallway.

Bumblebee then whined loudly as he stared at the ceiling. "Bumblebee calm down...we'll find Nightfire. We know she's still inside the base." Arcee said petting bumblebee on the shoulder. "I'm sure she's fine...or else we would have heared her cries of distress."

"Uh should we stop sunstreaker from trying to find Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus?" Smokescreen asked.

"I'm on it...you guys...keep searching." Sideswipe said as he ran after his twin.

"This is why you never leave a sparkling unattended." Arcee said sighing as Bumblebee, Smokescreen and herself went back to searching for the missing sparkling.


Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus turned down a hallway only to stare at the dead end of the hallway. The two tensed as they slowly turned to see predatory grins on Jazz and Prowl's faces. Their very exspressions made the two Autobots appear to resemble that of demons or minons of Unicron straight of the flames of hell. The SIC and TIC both cracked their knuckles as they very slowly approached the two. Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus both gulped as they inched as close as they could to the wall. Hoping to blend in with their surroundings or hoping the wall would swallow them both up.

"Comander...it wasn't nice knowing you..." Wheeljack said softly.

"Likewise soldier..." Ultra Magnus said gulping.

"Now we are going to have a friendly little chat..." Prowl said in a low deadly sounding voice, as his optics were glowing very brightly. Jazz's visior was glowing just as brightly in rage.
