"What?" Questioned Tokiya. It was obvious by his facial expression that he was shocked by those sudden words. In fact, he questioned her once again not because he didn't hear her, it was because he didn't expect to hear those words.

As much as Mia didn't want to say so, it was only going to make matters worse if she continued the relationship. He would sure to be in greater danger and as well as that, there wouldn't be anyway of progressing into marriage and raising a family just like they promised when their careers took off. Just some time for them…

"I'm sorry… If you were to get hurt because of me, I… I wouldn't really know what to do… Perhaps, it may be best if we stay as friends and contact each other whenever we can…"

"But what will we say? It's not like that you are coming back for classes." Ittoki said, a slight hint of disappoint in his voice. Mia was a good friend of his and whenever Tokiya was busy, she had a habit of going to him in her own free time.
A smile eased on the femme's lips as she lifted herself up onto her pedes, her glance looking down at the humans who were practically the size of ants compared to her.
"Tell them that I had to move back to America… And… Can you tell the others that I will miss them? Please?" She asked sincerely, to which Ittoki and Tokiya exchanged glances before nodding.

"Thank you… Oh, and Ittoki, no telling anyone about this, or I will have to hunt you down…" She stated jokingly, however even the redhead could tell that there was a likeliness that part of that statement was meant to be serious. He quickly nodded, swiping his hand across his mouth as to identify that his lips were sealed, much to which seemed reasonable enough for Mia, considering how Ittoki seemed… afraid? Either way, it was only a matter of mere moments before they wouldn't see each other ever again.

"Okay… I'd best be going before someone else spots me… I'll call when I get the chance." She said softly before disappearing into the night, leaving no trace of her behind, which would bring up the question if the boys were found outside since it was the middle of the night.

Ittoki had expected Tokiya to be on his hands and knees, mortified from the shocking news but instead, he was smiling! Despite the dulled look in his eyes, he was smiling.
"We both went down two different paths. I should have seen this happening… But as long as she is okay, then I will be able to move on…" Tokiya said as he noticed the confusion in his room mate's expression.

"Come on, let's get back inside…"

Eventually came the sunrise, a beautiful haze of oranges, yellows and blues brightening the previously darkened sky. The shadows that had stalked the earthy ground gradually deteriorated from the light.
Ever since going back to the base, Mia had remained outside on the rooftop to think things through. She didn't expect that she would have to break someone's heart, especially with the entirety of the situation being rather complicated. Either way, for his safety, it had to be done although it was going to take time to heal all broken hearts. A soft exhale escaped from the femme's lips as she stared blankly at the magnificent view of nothing but canyons as the far the eye could see which she had the pleasure of witnessing. The sunshine bounced off her optics, making them sparkle like diamonds. Just that view was enough to bring a moment of serenity, allowing all of her problems to just melt away into non-existence.

However, as she realized, good things weren't meant to last…

Her wings perked up to a nearby whizzing sound, her head turned to look over her shoulder to identify the noise. It happened to be Sunstreaker coming up the elevator, a cheeky smile planted across his faceplate.

"Hey, what are you doing out here all by yourself? You're missing all the fun! The old medic is going nuts on my brother as we speak." He said to the femme, who happened to smile at the thought. Even in the short space of time that she had been around, she knew for a fact that those two were hard core pranksters and by hard core, she meant that their punishments were beyond imaginable. Somehow, she felt bad for them, despite it was their fault for getting into a mess.

"I'll be down in a bit. Just… clearing my head…" She finally stated, turning back to hide the emotions that rendered her expression although just by the quietness of her tone, Sunstreaker knew what was up. The cheeky grin turned into a sympathetic smile as he walked over and sat beside Mia, steadily poking her arm to try and bring her spirits up.

"Will you stop that?" She asked as she tried to pull away. As much as Mia wanted to be angry with him, his cheesy attempts had got her to chuckle to which Sunstreaker pulled her closer, almost in a hugging position. Mia didn't even struggle.

"Everything will be okay… You just need to trust us and let us help you out. You are part of the family now. That means that we will be there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on… But of course, not mines. It'll ruin my paint job…"
That final comment was enough to make the girl laugh out, something that she hadn't done in so long, but at the same time, it felt so natural. In fact, just seeing the purity of something so filled with life truly did satisfy the mech.

Upon finishing laughing, Mia eventually stopped to finally speak.
"You're right… I mean about the family thing, not the paint job…"

Upon hearing those words, the golden mech pouted and shoved the femme gently and in a friendly way, to which she flicked his forehead.
"Come on, let's get inside before we hurt each other…" The femme finally said to which they both agreed on doing.

Despite landing a loss of both her human life and her love life, she still felt happy that she gained a family. It was finally a point in time where destiny had chosen the path that she had been most experienced in best. Either way, although the future holds many secrets of what was to come in the future, she knew one thing:

It was the beginning of a brand new life…
