A/N I want to wish you guys a very Happy Easter that is filled with plenty of love and happiness. Also thanks everyone for the reviews/ alerts/ favorites. I hope you will enjoy this chapter.

Having Jazz as my guardian was quite different from having Ironhide; the two Autobots were different as night and day. While Ironhide was short-tempered and more than a little trigger happy, Jazz was cool, calm and collected; even when Ratchet brought him from the dead using the Allspark shard Jazz continued to act as if nothing had happened. I do not know if anyone could do that besides him; he is also a great admirer of Earth music of every kind. Pop, rock, jazz, r'n'b you name it, he loves them all. I don't know how many nights I spent awake talking with him about music; sometimes I was embarrassed how much I didn't know about our music. Today because it was his last day as my guardian, Jazz decided to take me somewhere special. We drove down the dirt road for half an hour until I saw a large hill ahead of us; Jazz drove up the hill and parked at the top and turned off his engine; I carefully stepped out and he activated his hologram.

This was the first time I saw his hologram; his hologram was a black guy in his late twenties; he had black curly hair and wore sunglasses. He was dressed in a white shirt and light blue jeans.

"You can sit here," he said, pointing to the hood of the car.

I jumped up onto the hood and he joined me.

"Like the view?" he asked.

"It's beautiful," I said.

The view was quite breathtaking. The hill overlooked the military base and from the top you could see for miles. I saw the river and the mountains that were sticking out into the distance.

"I come here when I want to be alone," he said.

"Now, I know why," I said, smiling.

He was so easy to talk to and his jokes were funny.

"Ironhide should be back from the mission any moment," Jazz said.

"Oh joy," I said, pretending to sound enthusiastic.

Jazz chuckled and turned his helm to look at me. "Ya know he really cares for you," he said.

"Yeah, well he has a funny way of showing it."

"He was not always like this."

"No, you mean he wasn't always a jerk," I said, sarcastically.

"I'm serious."

"What happened to him that changed him so much?"

"A broken spark and the war," he responded. "Did you saw the blue femme back at the base?"

"Yes."

"Do you know who is she?"

"No."

"Her name is Chromia and she was Ironhide's mate before the war. You see nine millions years ago, before the war Ironhide's real name was Dion and he worked at the dock; his job was to haul energy and supplies in and out of the dock. His best friend was Orion Pax but you know him as Optimus Prime," Jazz said.

"So, they changed their names when the war began?" I asked.

Jazz shook his helm before he spoke. "No, listen; as I said Dion and Orion worked at the dock together; at that time Dion was in a relationship with Chromia and Orion with Ariel. One day a silver mesh came into the Energon storage facility; his name was Megatron."

"The Decepticon leader?"

"Yes," Jazz said and continued, "He came in pretending to want to store some Energon. Once inside the storage facility Megatron ordered his transport drones to attack. Orion, Ariel and another mech were stricken down and Dion tried to escape, but was quickly moved down by a shot in his chest."

"What happened next?"

"Megatron left them to slowly offline and that would have happened if Alpha Trion did not find them on time, and rebuilt them as Optimus Prime and Ironhide."

"What happened to Ariel?"

"She was rebuilt as Elita 1."

"The pink Autobot is Ariel," I said, shocked.

"Yes."

"But I have never seen them exchanging any signs of tenderness".

"The war has changed them."

"And what about Ironhide and Chromia?" I asked.

"After he was rebuilt, they stayed together, but one day Chromia fell into ambush and was captured. Ironhide was enraged when he heard what happened and went to rescue her; he broke through the Decepticon lines dealing with each of them with fatal blow. He found Chromia inside Shockwave's laboratory badly damaged; as he tried to get her out of the laboratory he didn't notice a Decepticon who was approaching him from behind; the Decepticon knocked him to the ground and tried to offline him by plunging his sword into Ironhide's helm. But luckily Primus was on Ironhide's side. As they wrestled Ironhide managed to free one servo and offline the Decepticon, but as he did that the Decepticons sword slide down and went over his right optic taking him out. He brought Chromia back to the base where she was in the med bay for weeks in stasis lock; when she finally came back from the stasis lock, she wasn't the same and soon they went their separate ways. Ironhide joined the Autobots and Optimus and Chromia joined Elita 1."

I lowered my head in shame. I was so quick to judge him not even bothering to try to understand him. I'm a horrible person I thought to myself.

"Do you know how they looked before that happened?" I asked.

"No, only four of them know that" Jazz said, looking off into the distance. "They are back," he said.

I raised my head and saw a column of four vehicles that were approaching the military base. My heart sank.

"Something's wrong; there is only four of them," I whispered, to myself. "Where's Ironhide?" I asked, turning to Jazz.
