-On the Nemesis-

"Daddy I'm gonna go find Sterling and Twilight!" Megatron opened his mouth to say something but Luna ran off before he could say anything. Nova stayed behind and stared at the floor.

"Nova is something wrong?" Megatron knelt down and looked at her. She teared up and hugged him. He held her close.

"Nova please tell me."

"I told Sparks I liked him and he just likes me as a friend." The small femme sobbed and clung to her sire. He rocked her and held her close.

"Sh sh sh..." Nova rubbed her optics and clung to him. Megatron picked her up.

"I don't like the feeling daddy. It hurts my spark..."

"I know the feeling. It hurts a lot."

"You know the feeling?" She looked up at him. He nodded.

"With who?"

"Your carrier."

"Mama? Why?"

"Because it seems that your carrier doesn't feel the same way as I do."

"Oh..." Nova laid her helm on his shoulder.

"But I'm happy just knowing that I can at least be friends with him."

-A few Days later-

Ellie walked through the halls looking for Jade. She passed the sparkling playroom and Arcee was sparkling sitting. Not because she wanted to but because it was her turn. She stopped and watched as Sapphire toddled over to her and held out the datapad she was drawing on.

"Cee! Lookie!"

"Sapphire go sit back down." Arcee pushed it away.

"But. P-Picture." Sapphire tried to hold it out to her again.

"I said go sit down!" Ironelle stepped in and picked up Sapphire as she glared at Arcee. Sapphire cried.

"Arcee what is your problem?"

"I don't know what is your problem?"

"Don't talk back to me! Get out of here!" Arcee stood up and left without a word. The jade green femme comforted the small blue sparkling before calling her father. Smokescreen came into the room not long after. Ironelle gave him his daughter and left to look for Arcee.

"Arcee get out here!" Arcee opened the door to her quarters and glared.

"What do you want?"

"Why are you so mean and bitter?!"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Yes I would! You made Sapphire cry and it's not the first time I've seen you make a sparkling cry! They like you and you treat them like scrap!" Arcee growled.

"What happened? You tell me something and I'll tell you something." Arcee shook a bit and sat on her berth. Ironelle walked in and shut the door behind her.

"Talk Arcee. Now."

"You wanna know why I don't like sparklings? Why I push everyone away? Fine..." Arcee explained everything and Ironelle listened.

"I lost a sparkling too Arcee and I miss him every single day. And I lost my best friend too. I loved him so much. But you don't see me pushing away sparklings or bots that I have strong feelings for. I fell in love and had sparklings. I will never forget them but I love my family. You should try to find someone. Have sparklings. It would make you happy. It won't completely heal the hole you feel but it helps." Arcee just stared at the ground, crying. Ironelle rubbed her back.

-Back on the Nemesis-

"Hey Daddy why can't I find Twilight?" Megatron sighed.

"Because Luna...She's very very hurt..."

"What are you talking about?"

"She's in a coma in the med-bay." Luna stared at her sire.

"What?! Why?!"

"Her carrier...beat her Luna...We were going to tell you but you never would stay still long enough for Knockout or I to tell you..."

"I wanna see her!"
