I decided to make a Valentine's Day chapter special. Even though it's not Valentine's Day. Also, there will be a few curse words in theses next chapters.
A lot of things has happened.Grimlock was being controlled by Megatron.Megatron is now back and Starscream screamed like the little bitch he is.confessions have been said, a couple is born, and someone knows about the couple.
It's been a week since the events that happened at the arctic and Team prime are worried about what Megatron plans to do now that he is back. It is Friday and it is currently noon and Bumblebee and Bulkhead went to pick up the kids. Arcee would have went with them but she and Grimlock were in the training room and were training.There were training for a while and then did some different kind of 'training'. After a while they went to the Communication center to wait for the children to arrive. Ratchet was looking for any energon patches because they are running low on energon reserves and Optimus was out on patrol.The sound of two engines are heard as Bulkhead and Bumblebee arrive with the children. The doors open and the children walk out. Bumblebee and Bulkhead transform as the children walk over to where they usually go when they are at the base. "I thought you were going to pick me up Arcee. What gives?" Asked Jack as he was walking up the stairs.
"Sorry Jack. Me and Grimlock were doing some training." Said Arcee.
"I didn't know you and Grimlock trained together."Said Jack as he sat down on the couch with Raf and Miko.
"Partners usually train together." Says Grimlock. Jack is satisfied with Grimlocks answer and then turns his attention to the Tv. Grimlock looks over at Miko." How are you doing little buddy?" Asked Grimlock. Miko looked a little bummed out.
"I'm not doing great Grim." Said Miko.
"What's wrong?" Asked Grimlock.
"It's Valentine's Day." Said Miko. This got the attention of the Autobots except for Ratchet because he didn't care and was busy.
"What's Valentine's Day?" Asked Bulkhead as he walks over to them with Bumblebee.
"Valentine's Day is the celebration of romance and love. It's also a day where you show affection to the one you love and you can also show how much you love them with gifts or other ways of affection." Ssid Raf.The Autobots and Grimlock now understand what Valentine's Day is.
"When you give someone you love a gift you usually tell them happy Valentine's Day." Said Jack
"It's also a day of kissing and mushy stuff and I'm not much of a fan of that kind of stuff. " Says Miko.
"Is there anything I can do to make you not bummed out?" Asked Grimlock. Miko thinks for a moment
And then comes up with a idea.
"Can you tell me who slash is?" Asked Miko. Immediately when she said that, the Autobots froze and Ratchet stopped working and then went back to working. Arcee looks at Grimlock and sees that he is full of sadness and a little bit of anger.
Bulkhead ,Bumblebee, and especially Arcee see that bringing up that name is affecting Grimlock a lot. Bulkhead looks at miko ." Miko. I don't think you should bring up that name." Said Bulkhead.
"Why not?" Asked Miko who forgot about Grimlock and Megatrons conversation. Bulkhead was about to say something but Grimlock stopped him.
"I should probably tell you guys about my past and about slash.You all deserve to know." Said Grimlock.
"Are you sure Grim? You don't have to talk about it if it makes you feel uncomfortable." Said Arcee.
"Yeah,I'm sure. Besides, it's only Fair since you shared your past with me."Grimlock says with a small grin.
"Okay. But you will stop talking about it if it hurts you, ok?" Said Arcee. Grimlock nods. Everyone then gets comfortable as they are prepared to listen to Grimlock. Ratchet was also listening and secretly recording so Optimus could listen to it later. He did all this while he was still working.
"Slash was very important to me and the other dinobots. She was a bit different from most of the others. She was kind to others, she helped anyone who needed it, and she treated others with kindness. She was like what humans call a little sister to all of us. But one day...something horrible happened to her. We were walking through a old and abandoned part of Cybertron but what we didn't realize it was also where a virus was. The Cybonic plague to be exact." Said Grimlock. This shocked everyone."As we were walking, she stepped in something and it just so happen to be energon with the virus contaminating it." Said Grimlock.
"Was she killed by the virus?" Asked Miko with a sad tone. Grimlock shakes his head no.
"We immediately went back to the other dinobots and we tried to help her but we didn't know how. One of the others had a idea but it was a horrible one. His idea was that we ask Megatron for the cure. With no other options,We then went to kaon to see if Megatron would give us the cure." Said Grimlock. The others now know more on how he knew about the cure.
"So that's how you knew that there was a cure." Said Bulkhead. Grimlock nods.
"But How did you get the cure from Megatron? Did you force him to give you the cure or something?" Asked Jack. Grimlock shakes his head no.
"Then how did you obtain it?" Asked Raf.
"The only way Megatron would cure Slash is if the dinobots joined the Decepticons." Said Grimlock. There were a few gasps.
"That explains how Megatron got the dinobots on his side." Said Bulkhead.
"Of course Megatron would ask for something like that in return."Arcee says in a angry tone. Bee tells her to calm down. Arcee sighs a calms down a little bit.
"We joined the cons and then Megatron cured her. She wasn't to happy about the deal. But she eventually got over it,kinda. Overtime, some of the other dinobots had enjoyed killing Autobots and being part of the Decepticons. But there were a lot like me and slash who didn't like being a con and wanted to leave." Says Grimlock. A few images of a few dinobots and slash came through his mind as he was telling the story of his past.One of the dinobots was a flyer, one had three horns, one had a long neck, and one had a bunch of plates sticking out of it's back.
"Why didn't you and the dinobots leave immediately?" Asked Miko.
"Because Megatron wouldn't let them leave with there lives if they tried to leave the Decepticons." Says Arcee.
"Arcee is right. Even though we knew what he would try to do if we left. We didn't care,We then came up with a plan to leave but he must have found out about the plan because when I was escaping kaon, I realized I haven't seen the others. As I got closer to the outskirts of the city,I saw Megatron standing near the dead bodies of a lot of dinobots." Said Grimlock. Everyone was shocked and sad at what they heard from Grimlock." That's not even the worse thing that happened that day. I saw something in Megatrons hand. I looked at it and it was..." Said Grimlock.
"What was it?" Asked Jack
"It looked like Slash's head." Said Grimlock. This shocked everyone. Everyone was looking at Grimlock with sympathy. "Before I could do anything, I was knocked out and then loaded up on to a ship and was then put into a stasis cell." Said Grimlock.
"I'm sorry that happened to you Grim." Says Arcee as she touches his arm to comfort him. Grimlock then looks Down at her and gives her a small smile.
"It's fine Arcee.But there was one good thing that happened to me when I was put into that stasis cell." Said Grimlock.
"And what would that be big guy?" Asked Miko.
"I got to meet all of you and become part of the team." Said Grimlock.
"I guess that is a good thing."Said Bulkhead. Everyone agreed with him. Raf was about to ask Grimlock something but Grimlock walked away.
"I'm gonna go train for a bit. If you need me, you guys know where to find me." Says Grimlock as he left. After Grimlock left, Arcee turned to the others.
"I'm gonna go check on him. He might need someone to talk to." Said Arcee. After she said that, She headed off to the training area. Bee asked Bulkhead if they should follow her. Bulkhead shakes his head no.
"Nah. I think it would best if we let her go by herself." Said Bulkhead. He turns to where the children should be ."What do you guys wanna d-" Bulkhead sees that they are not there. He then looks around the room and then looks at Bumblebee." Where did they go?" Asked Bulkhead. Bee shrugs his shoulders and tells him that he doesn't know.
Five minutes later
Grimlock was currently sitting against the wall in the training room.He was a thinking about slash and the other dinobots." Maybe if I didn't agree to Megatrons deal, the others might still be alive." Grimlock says to himself.
"If you did that then you would have lost slash a lot sooner." Grimlock looks over and sees Arcee walking in the room. She walks over to him and sits down next to him.
"Hey Arcee. What are you doing here?" Asked Grimlock.
"I came in here to tell you that you shouldn't blame yourself for there deaths. You didn't know what would happen." Said Arcee. Grimlock sighs.
"Your right, but why do I feel like I could have done something to stop there deaths and hers from happening." Said Grimlock.
"I know how you feel Grim.I felt the same way when I lost tailgate and cliffjumper. When I lost them,I felt alone again." Said Arcee. Grimlock remembers back to when she told him about them. She then looks up at Grimlock." But then I remembered that I still have the others and now I have you Grim." Says Arcee as She places her hand on Grimlocks and then he closes his hand while holding hers. He then smiles at her.
"I'm glad that I met you Arcee." Says Grimlock as he leans closer to her.
"I'm glad I met you as well Grimlock." Says Arcee as she leans closer to him. They get closer and then there Metallic-like lips touch and they start making out. As they were kissing they heard two gasps. They stop kissing and they both look at that open door and see Jack,Raf, and Miko. They quickly get up."What are you three doing?" Asked Arcee.
"We heard you guys talking and we were about to leave but Miko didn't want to. she walked in and then we followed her in but we weren't expecting to see you too kissing." Said Raf.
"Grimlock and Arcee together? I did not see that coming." Said a surprised Jack. Grimlock and Arcee look at Miko and see her smiling.
"Why are you smiling little buddy?" Asked Grimlock.
"I'm smiling Because I'm now not the only one that knows about you two being a couple." Says Miko. This surprised and slightly confused everyone a little.
"How did you know about me and Arcee?" Asked Grimlock. Miko opens up her phone and then shows Jack,Raf, Grimlock and Arcee a video of Grimlock and Arcee confessing there feelings and then kissing.
"You recorded that?" Arcee says in a slightly angry tone. She didn't like it that Miko recorded them.
"Yeah. I couldn't miss the opportunity to capture a video of the number one couple of Team Prime." Said Miko.
"Don't you mean the only Couple of Team Prime?" Said Jack.
"That to." Said Miko.
"What were you going to do with that video?" Asked Raf.
"I was going to show Bulkhead and the others, but I decided to wait until someone else found out.but now that I'm not the only one. I'm gonna go tell the others." Miko says with excitement as she runs off to the Communication center with Jack and Raf. Grimlock and Arcee step over the children and block there path.
"Woah! Why'd you stop us?" Asked Miko. Grimlock and Arcee look at each other and then looked back at the children.
"We don't think you should tell the others about Me and Arcee." Said Grimlock. This confused the kids a little.
"Why do you guys want to keep your relationship a secret?" Asked Raf.
"We want to keep our relationship a secret for a little longer because we both decide to wait a little while before we tell the others." Said Arcee.
"Yeah and we would appreciate it if you don't tell the others and can you delete that video."Said Grimlock.
"We promise that we won't tell the others if you don't want us to. Right guys?" Asked Jack. Raf nods and Miko is silent."Miko." Said Jack as he raises his voice slightly. She sighs.
"Fine." Said Miko. She then deletes the video and walks off with Jack and Raf.
"That went better than I thought it would." Said Arcee.
"I thought it would take more convincing with Miko." Said Grimlock.
"I just glad that They promised to not tell the others." Said Arcee. Grimlock has a small smile." Do You feel better Grim?" Asked Arcee.
Grimlock nods." Yeah. Thanks to you Arcee." Said Grimlock.
"Your welcome Partner.We should probably head back to the communication center where the others are." Said Arcee. Grimlock nods to agree with Arcee as they head off to the Communication Center to join the others.
Five minutes later with chibi Grimlock and Chibi Arcee Cuddling.
They made it back to the communication center."I'm gonna go out for a drive. See you later Grim." Says Arcee as she Transforms and drives out of the base. Grimlock walks over to where the kids were. Jack and Raf were playing Video games but Miko wasn't there. Grimlock looked around the room and saw that Miko ,Bulkhead,Ratchet,and Bumblebee were gone. The only ones in the room were Grimlock,Jack, and Raf.
"Where is everyone?" Asked Grimlock.
"Miko and Bulkhead are at a monster truck rally and Bumblebee went with Ratchet to get something From the Storage vault ." Said Raf.
"Hey Grimlock. Can I ask You something?" Asked Jack.
"Sure Jack. What do you want to ask?" Asked Grimlock.
"What do you plan on getting Arcee for Valentine's Day?" Asked Jack.
"Umm, I don't know. I never heard of the holiday until today and I don't even know what I would get her." Said Grimlock.
"Maybe you can make something for her?" Suggested Raf.
"I could try to make her something but I don't have anything to make something." Said Grimlock. Raf thinks for a moment and then pulls out his laptop and starts typing on it. Jack and Grimlock look at Raf as he types."What are you doing?" Asked Grimlock.
"I'm searching for any scrapyards that might be abandoned." Said Raf.
"Why are you looking for a scrapyard?" Asked Grimlock.
"A scrapyard will have a bunch of scrap metal and you could use it to make a gift for Arcee." Said Raf.
"That's a great idea raf. Nobody will miss any of that extra scrap metal." Said Jack. Raf finally finds one.
"Grimlock. Can you take me to the ground bridge controls?" Asked Raf. Grimlock nods and picks him up and walks over the the controls. Raf puts in the controls and then Grimlock activates the bridge. Grimlock walks back over to where Jack is and places Raf on the couch. Grimlock heads off to the bridge. He was about to walk through when he heard the sound of running behind him. He turns to see Jack and Raf running to Him. Jack was carrying a toolbox and Raf was carrying welding helmet.
"What are you two doing?" Asked Grimlock.
"We want to go with you." Said Raf.
"Why?"asked Grimlock.
"We want to help you with the gift and it's pretty boring here." Said Jack. Grimlock thinks for a moment.
"Okay. You guys can come with me." Said Grimlock. Grimlock then picks them up and walks through the bridge.
Later
Grimlock walks out of the bridge with Jack and Raf on his shoulder. The bridge closes behind Grimlock as he looks around and sees a lot of scrap metal laying around. He then places the kids on the ground and starts collecting a bunch of scrap metal. Once he gets enough metal he then transforms." You two might want to step back." Suggested Grimlock. Jack and Raf take a few steps back away from Grimlock. Grimlock opens his jaws and a small blast of fire comes out and starts melting the scrap metal a little. Grimlock stops and then transforms back. Grimlock then picks it up and starts molding it into a rectangular shape. Grimlock then places it on the ground and then begins to think on what he should make. After a couple of seconds He comes up with nothing. Grimlock looks at Jack and Raf." Any ideas on what I should make for her?" Asked Grimlock.
Jack and Raf think for a moment. Jack comes up with nothing while Raf comes up with a idea. Raf pulls out his lab-top and starts typing on it. Raf turns his lab-top around and shows Jack and Grimlock what's on it. It shows a picture of a rose." What's that?" Asked Grimlock.
"It's a flower and its called a rose." Said Raf.
"Don't you guys have flowers on Cybertron?" Asked Jack. Grimlock shakes his head no.
"We didn't have anything like that on Cybertron." Said Grimlock. He then turns back to the rectangle steel." Let's get to work." Said Grimlock.
30 Minutes later
Grimlock was finally done with making the metal rose with the help of Jack and Raf.
(This is what it look like,but bigger)
Grimlock looks at Jack and Raf." Thanks for helping me." Said Grimlock.
"Anytime big guy." Said Jack.
"We were happy to help." Said Raf. Grimlock picks up the kids and put them on his shoulder as he grabs the Rose.
"We should probably head back or there gonna worry about us." Said Grimlock. Grimlock then turns on his comms and contacts Ratchet to bridge them back to base. The ground bridge appears and Grimlock walks through it.
One Ground Bridge later.
Grimlock exists the bridge and sees Optimus,Ratchet,Bumblebee,Miko, and Bulkhead in the communication center. Grimlock kept the gift hidden behind him. Grimlock walks over to where Miko and Bulkhead are and places Jack and Raf on the ground." Where have you guys been?" Asked Miko.
"We went to a junk yard." Said Grimlock.
"Why?" Asked Bulkhead.
"We uh wanted to see Grimlock destroy stuff." Said Jack.
"Why didn't you guys take me with you?!" Asked Miko.
"You weren't around Miko." Said Raf. Bulkhead notices that Grimlock is hiding something behind.
"What do you got there?" Asked Bulkhead.
"Nothing." Grimlock said quickly. Bulkhead didn't believe and tried to see what he was hiding but Grimlock kept moving to make sure he didn't see it.What Grimlock doesn't realize is that Bumblebee was behind him and saw the rose. Grimlock and Bulkhead stop moving when they hear Bee asking Grimlock why he has a metal flower. Grimlock sighs and realized that it doesn't matter anymore to hide it. Grimlock shows them the gift.
"Where did you get that and why do you have it?" Asked Bulkhead.
"I made it at the junk yard. With the help of Raf and Jack." Said Grimlock.
"Wait, so that's the real reason for going to the junk yard?" Asked Miko. Grimlock nods.
"But why did you guys want to make it?" Asked Bulkhead.
"Do you plan on giving it to someone?" Asked Miko who is starting to understand why they made it and who it's for. Grimlock didn't know what to say but the question was answered by someone else.
"You are correct Miko, Grimlock does plan on giving the metal flower to someone. And that someone is Arcee." The group turn and see that it was Optimus who did it. Grimlock and the children were shocked that Optimus some how found out about Grimlock and Arcee's real relationship. Bumblebee was also shocked by this but Bulkhead was a little confused and thought that Optimus was joking.
"Are you joking Optimus?" Asked Bulkhead. He didn't get his answer as Optimus walked over to Ratchet. Bumblebee asked Grimlock if it was true and Grimlock nods.
"So much for keeping you and Arcee's relationship a secret." Said Miko. When she said that she realized that they only new about the gift and that didn't know about that there relationship.
"Miko!" Said Jack,Raf. Miko nervously laughs at her mistake. Bumblebee eyes were very wide and Bulkheads mouth was wide open. They both look at Grimlock and sees that he is smiling nervously as he rubs the back of his head and nervously laughs. They were about to ask a bunch of questions but was interrupted by the sound of a motorcycle engine. They all turn and see Arcee as she transforms and walks over to them. As she was walking over to them, Grimlock quickly hid the flower.When she makes it over to them, and she sees Bumblebee and Bulkheads expressions.
"Are you two okay?" Asked Arcee.
"Is Miko telling the Truth Arcee?" Asked Bulkhead.
"The truth about what?" Asked a slightly angry Arcee who looks at Miko. Miko is smiling nervously.
"About you and Grim being in a relationship." Said Bulkhead. Arcee sighs and then walks over to Grimlock and then Grimlock holds her hand.
"Miko is telling the truth. Me and Grim are in a relationship." Said Arcee. Hearing her say that still shocked the two Autobots.
"We were planning on waiting a bit longer to tell you guys but it looks like you guys found out sooner than we thought." Said Grimlock. Bumblebee asked them how long have they been together.
"We have been together for about a week now." Said Arcee.
"I never thought you two would end up together." Said Bulkhead.
"What can I say, We are full of surprises." Arcee jokes a little. This caused a few small laughs from the children and the two Autobots.
"Hey Arcee, can you come with me to the training room for a bit?" Asked Grimlock.
"Sure Grim. But why?" Said Arcee.
" I want to show you something." Lied Grimlock. They both head off to the training room.
Later
They walk in the training room." What did you want to show me?" Asked Arcee. Grimlock shows Arcee the flower and gives it to her.
"Happy Valentine's Day Arcee." Said Grimlock. Arcee smiles and then gets a idea for a gift for Grimlock.she jumps up and wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him deeply. Grimlock is a little shocked by this but is enjoying it very much.
"Thank you Grim. I love it and I hope you are enjoying my gift." Said Arcee. Grimlock nods yes and then wraps his arms around her and they continue to make out.
