Heyo guys! I'm back again for a new chapter for "Fatherly Side"!

I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for the favorites and the follows! (And review!)

Friend?

"Where have you been?! I've been worried sick!" Violet winced at the tone of her mother's shriek.

"I've been exploring mom. Nothing too dangerous."

"It's midnight! Where could've you been?!"

"Uh, we've just moved here a week ago! Is it such a crime to look around town?!" Violet's attitude started to take place after that comment. She crossed her arms and furrowed her eyebrows together.

"It is whenever you were brought home with a police officer!" Damn, she got me there...

"I can explain that, Kiera. Just calm down before you blow your head off."

"Then explain it, Violet! If you lie to me..."

"Look, he's a friend that I've met. He using an old police car to have a car to drive away in. His name is Paul, he isn't a bad guy I promise."

"Then what is he like?"

Why does she have to be so questioning of everything I do? "He's strict but nice. Quiet, but alright. I mean he's not bad."

"I want to meet him."

My eyes widen as I put my hands up. "You can't, he has to go home."

"Well, I want to know the young man who helped my daughter." Shit...

(Prowl's PoV)

I remained parked, listening to the yelling that Violet's carrier was making. Quite a loud carrier...Violet must not enjoy it. Then I do see Violet and her carrier walk out. Odd, they do not look the same. While Violet is pale, her carrier is different. She has a much darker skin tone alongside with really short but curly...hair? I think that's what humans call their fur on their heads. It would seem that she is "pissed off" as Jazz would say.

"Excuse me, your name is Paul right?" Violet's carrier asked me as she was standing in front of my hood. Once I took a glance at Violet she gave me a "run-with-it-look". I suppose the holoform will come quite handy about now...My holoform fizzled into the seat before I step out and say, "Yes, ma'am." I tried to suit my voice to a "teenager" in their terms. She looked up and down at me, I could feel her optics...eyes I reminded myself...scanning for anything that would seem wrong with me.

"Why are you wearing sunglasses at this time of day?" Violet's carrier asked me curiously. I blinked. Sunglasses? Does she mean my visor? Is it not normal to wear a visor in their terms? That's strange. Following what I thought, my hands went up and took off my visor.

"My apologies, I've merely forgotten they were still on."

Violet's carrier squinted her eyes at me. They were clearly full of suspicion. I don't blame her to be suspicious of me. "You're older than you sound." She pointed out.

"Well, you know. Men usually grow "older" before women do." Violet spoke up.

"How did you meet my daughter?"

"At school," I said blankly. "She was lost and I just helped her out. Since I have been here longer than she has."

She studied me, mostly trying to see if I was lying to her. "Kiera, he's telling the truth. I got carried away with exploring with Gamy. You know how I am whenever we move to different places..." Violet tried to convince.

I watched Kiera tapped her thigh with her fingers. I can assume she's thinking of what to say or do in this situation. Violet took a glance at me with worry in her eyes. Odd, she's concerned about me. Hmph, that's different for her.

Finally, Kiera speaks with a sigh. "Alright then. Thank you, Paul, for bringing her home. She can be quite a handful."

"I know that," I replied. "She already showed me that she can be a snark." That response earned me a scoff from Violet. Her concern swept away.

"Whatever. Don't you have to go HOME now, Paul?" She pressed with an annoyed frown on her face.

"Your parents must be worried about you." Kiera commented.

I blinked a couple of times before I nodded. "Yes. I should head home...it's past my curfew." My hand goes for my door before Violet speaks up.

"Be careful." I stopped and looked at her. There was worry in her eyes again. Why is she acting that way?

"I will." I said with reassurance. I opened my door and slide into my seat.

Violet's PoV

I watched my guardian drive off. That was way too damn close. Thankfully, he's been here long enough that he knows what our customs are. Kiera took a look at me before she grinned at me. My eyebrow raised at her. "What?" I questioned her.

"You like him~" My eyes widened and shook my head.

"No, no, no, no. I don't. He's waaaaaaay too stone-cold for me to like. He's just a..." My mouth broke away from the word I was going to say. What would he be to me? Besides being my guardian. She wouldn't even understand what they are or their history. Hell, I barely know about them.

"...friend. He's just a friend." My mouth spelled out for her. I'm hoping for her to understand. I'd rather not be mistaken that I like Prowl. That's way too gross for me. He's like thousands of years older than me and I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know the term "love" anyway. He just knows logic. Even if Optimus told me that I was somewhat like Prowl. It still didn't make sense to me.

"You keep telling yourself, sweetheart. Now. It's time for bed. Don't you think?" Kiera motioned the house and I sighed.

"Yeah. Tonight has been exhausting."

Next Day

What I woke up to was Gamy's barking. I groaned and turned to the side in my bed. I grabbed the nearest pillow and placed it over my head. As much I love my dog, she can be such a pain in the neck. She just kept barking! With a growl, I sat up in a hurry and glared at her. "What's so damn important?!" Then I saw what she was barking at. My eyes widened as my heart stopped. I saw a very familiar face looking through the window at me. It was Prowl.

I rushed out of my bed as I jogged towards the window seal and I opened it. "What the hell are you doing here?!" I whispered yell at him.

"Optimus instructed me to pick you up for a recon patrol. Just for your own safety." He replied as his large metal hand opened up for me to step in.

"Are you insane?! You're in your form in a neighborhood! You're going to get seen!"

"At this hour, most humans are not awake. I will have you back here before your carrier is awake."

"What time is it?" I questioned as I take a glance at my clock. My eyes widened. "You're doing a recon patrol at 5:23 am?! That's way too early man!"

"You need to come with me, Violet." He pressed. "I will have you back here at 7:30." I bit my lip as I looked at his hand and then to Gamy. Oh what the hell do I have to loose?

So. This is where we'll continue for next time! It feels good to write again!

I'm so sorry for the late late late late update on this story. Life has been good to me and I almost forgotten about you guys and these stories! Hopefully I'll get back into a groove of things and update...

Thank you for being so paitent with me!

Hope to see you next time!

Bai!
