They had returned to the base after having a lot of time together at the island. Azura found herself really liking Wheeljack now, especially after the drawings he had created in the sand, and it was so hilarious. But they all returned because it was getting late. But Wheeljack still wanted to help with teaching Azura the Cybertronian alphabet. With the help of Bulkhead and Arcee, he began creating metal cards that would be used in the game he knew would help Azura. During that time, she needed to be fed from Optimus as she had used up a lot of her energy. Though Azura truthfully could keep running around if she wanted to.

Optimus was cradling Azura right now as she fed on the low-grade while Wheeljack prepared the game. Ratchet was still fixing the wrecker's ship at this time, and it seemed he already made a heap of progress on it too. Wheeljack seemed to believe that it would be fixed by tomorrow. Azura didn't know if that meant that he would leave or not. She wanted him to stay and be part of the family. Though she knew she couldn't stop him if he did want to leave.

Jack, Miko and Raf were all relaxing as well. They had drunk a lot of water since the island was very warm, and they were feeling dehydrated. Bumblebee was standing near them talking to Raf about mobile cars that Raf likes to buy and drive around. It seemed they were thinking of getting a mobile car for Jack and Miko to do some racing in the base. That seemed to be quite funny since Azura knew Optimus did not want the bots to race. So this was definitely a way around that.

She sipped from the fuel line and Optimus could tell she was very hungry. She was drinking more than she had that morning, and she didn't seem like she was going to stop. He was happy because it meant she was using a lot of energy. Though Azura had grown a little bit in the last week, and he knew she was going to go through the growth spurt. Azura was also feeling a bit impatient that Wheeljack was taking his time.

Ratchet looked up from his work on the ship over at Optimus. "So what exactly does Wheeljack intend to do? He said he wants to help Azura and the humans learn Cybertronian, but I don't understand how a game is supposed to help."

"What Wheeljack has in mind is good, Ratchet. It is all about matching the correct letters in the correct places." He smiled at Ratchet who seemed unconvinced. "You can come and watch. Wheeljack will likely explain the game in further detail shortly."

Ratchet hummed softly as he knew that Wheeljack would explain it. He looked at Azura curiously with a slight smirk. "And somebody is very hungry. I don't think I have seen her drink the low-grade as greedily as that."

Optimus smiled and Azura glanced at Ratchet in surprise. She didn't think she was that greedy, she was just hungry. "I think it is good. As long as no one decides to swing her around and cause her to purge, she should be good to go for the rest of the day. Hopefully this game will burn off some of it too before recharge."

"Knowing the wrecker, the game will involve some kind of adrenaline." He sighed as he glanced at the ship. "I probably will be finished with this ship by morning tomorrow anyway. It would not hurt for me to oversee what this game is. If it's good enough, we could let Azura play it to help her learn the Cybertronian alphabet."

"At least when she's learned the alphabet, teaching her to read and understand the language will be easier." He turned his head as she heard the other bots walking into the lobby. "I assume you have set the game up, Wheeljack?"

Wheeljack nodded. "Yep, it is all set up in your training room." He looked at Azura as he noticed she was still feeding. "Seems like your little sparkling is a hungry little one." He chuckled a little and looked at Jack, Miko and Raf as they walk over to them. "Come on! We have it set up so all of you can start learning Cybertronian. She can watch while she's eating."

Azura was very intrigued by this as Wheeljack turned around, waving his hand in the direction the hallway. She was also very excited. Optimus followed Wheeljack and Ratchet walked over to follow as well. He was definitely very interested in how Wheeljack intended on helping, but if there was any sign that it could be a rough game, both Optimus and Ratchet would be reluctant to let Azura play the game. They probably would stop the human children as well so they would not be hurt.

Bulkhead and Arcee seemed to be happy about it though, so it definitely seemed to be safe at least. As they arrived in the training room, they all saw what had been set up. There were four large containers with the names of the kids and Azura on them, inside were square, metal cards with letters on them. And on the other end were multiple baskets with the letters written above with an arrow pointing into the baskets.

"Alright…" Wheeljack rubbed his hands together with a smile as he turned around to face Optimus, Ratchet, Azura and the humans. "This game is very fun and simple. Everyone has their own basket filled with letters. Arcee and Bulkhead helped by putting the English alphabet on these as well, so you know what letter is what." Azura slowed down on her drinking as she was listening with intrigue. Optimus took it as though she was starting to feel full. She was, but she would be happy to finish feeding after the game. "But we are only including the first ten letters of the alphabet so you can memorize them before moving onto the next ones." He cleared his throat. "So, the aim of the game is to put as many of the cards into the correct basket. Each basket has the letter above it, and you must put the right one into that one. There is a time limit of five minutes, so the more you get in, you will be a winner. And don't worry, each card has a specific color, so we will know which is which."

Miko smiled as she walked over to the basket with her name on it. "That's actually pretty cool, Wheeljack! Making the A B C's into a game like that sounds so wonderful!" She normally would not care to learn the language of Cybertron, but this did seem like fun. "If only our own teachers would do that with stuff like Maths."

"This could even be turned in an Escape Room kind of game," Jack said as he pondered on the game. The bots all gave Jack a curious expression, and Azura actually like the idea. "An Escape Room is a fun, sixty-minute game where people need to team up find clues and solve puzzles to escape. This can be mathematical, problem-solving puzzles and so on. It's fun and educational."

"I remember playing an Escape Room one time, it was so much fun!" Miko said enthusiastically. "Even though I had to use my brain, I was still a whole heap of fun!" She looked at the basket and nodded. "Yeah, an Escape Room sounds like a great idea. Hmm, but we would need to kind of make one."

"That actually sounds rather cool to me," Wheeljack commented as he pondered on how Escape Rooms are played. "We definitely don't have that on our planet, but if we ever back there, I will definitely be the one to making them."

Ratchet had a smile on his face as he considered the idea. "I like it as well. I will have to research what they are, and see if it is possible to even have an Escape Room here on the base for you and Azura to enjoy." He looked at Azura who seemed very excited by the idea, and she had stopped drinking at the moment. The fuel line was empty, though she was still holding it. "I see that Azura has had enough."

Azura looked at him in surprise before smiling. "For now."

Optimus smiled at her and kissed her forehead gently. "You have already had a lot. I assume you could fit more in, but you're distracted." He lowered her to the ground and Azura was quick to jump off his hand, making him flinch as he had not been expecting it. "Try not to get too excited."

"I will try. But this is a cool way to learn Cybertronian!" She skipped over to her basket excitedly and looked up at Wheeljack. "Um, when can we start?"

Wheeljack chuckled softly at her. "Once the other two get into position…" Raf and Jack ran over to their baskets as soon as Wheeljack said there and got ready. "Now, do not grab a card until the game starts." Miko whined as she was about to pull one out. "Alright, alright, I see that the younglings are full of energy. I will count to three, and you can start. Bulkhead…" He looked at his friend who was happy about the game as well. "Make you time it. No more than five minutes."

"You got it, Jackie!" Bulkhead responded enthusiastically and looked down at Miko, giving the girl a thumbs up. "You can do it, Miko!"

Miko giggled and Wheeljack just raised his hand to calm things down. "Alright, alright. I won't keep you waiting." Azura gave him a sarcastic frown as Wheeljack began to count down. "One…two…" Azura had her hand hovering over her basket, ready to grab one of the cards. "Three!"

Azura reached in and grabbed the first card out. She looked at it and saw the letter J on it, and the Cybertronian letter under it. She looked up and glanced at the other baskets quickly and spotted the J. She ran towards the basket and squealed loudly as she jumped to the side as Raf ran by. He said a quick apology as he ran towards a different basket. Azura ran over to hers, and checked the card before tossing it into the basket. She saw that the color on her card was blue, which she wasn't entirely surprised.

She ran back to her basket, dodging Miko as they almost collide and grabbed another card. She looked at it and saw she had C on it. She smiled as she glanced at the Cybertronian letter and ran to the right basket. She was feeling very excited as she knew once she started pulling out the same letters, it will be easier to remember them. She reached the basket and threw the card in and turned to run back.

Optimus was watching with a smile on his face. Seeing how excited all four of the children were with playing the game, and learning to memorize the Cybertronian letters was definitely a good idea. Even Ratchet had a smile on his face. Azura was soon pulling out repeats of the A's and B's mostly, which she seemed to be amused about. But she would get the other letters, though Optimus already knew she made a mistake the the D and G letters, but he wasn't going to correct her. She needed to learn from it.

"You have ten seconds left!" Bulkhead announced, startling the humans and Azura. "Ten…nine…eight…"

Azura giggled as she had the last card in her hand from her basket. She saw it was another H and ran over to the basket to throw it in. She could hear Bulkhead counting and she just managed to throw it in before Bulkhead counted down to one. She jumped up and down happily and took a deep intake as Wheeljack clapped lightly. She could not believe how much fun that was, and she wanted to another round of it.

"Alright…" He picked up the baskets and hands some to Bulkhead and some to Bumblebee. "Let's find out who the winner is." He and the two bots began to pull out the cards and placed them down to count and see who would win.

"I think Azura will win," Raf said as he took some deep breaths. "She got out the most cards."

"But it does need to be correct." Jack looked at Azura as she walked over to him. "For all we know, we all have made a mistake or two. So we don't know who the actual winner is."

"I agree. But man!" Miko giggled excitedly. "That was so much fun! We have gotta do that again!"

"I hope we do!" Azura rubbed her hands together excitedly. "I don't care who wins or loses, but I was already starting to memorize a lot of the letters. I really want to play some more so I can keep memorizing them."

Miko walked over to her basket and grabbed out a card, looking at it and turning it around to show the others. "I must say that Cybertronian's pretty interesting."

Azura nodded in agreement. "I agree. I know it will be like English for me when I have learned to read and write it properly." She hummed for a moment and smirked. "And using the letters would be pretty cool for an Escape Room. I think that would be fun."

"Yeah, like finding the right letter with the correct clue." Miko placed the card back into her basket as she was still very excited about the game. "We will definitely need a break after a second round though." She waved her hand at her face as she had a thin layer of sweat on her skin. "Woah, I am sweating like crazy!"

"It is a fast-paced game after all." Azura giggled a little and looked at Wheeljack, Arcee and Bulkhead as they were still counting. "Hmm, hopefully they will be done soon. I would love to play this almost everyday. I don't even know the name of it."

"We could give it a name," Raf suggests as he began to think. "Hmm…maybe…Five Minute Letter Scramble?"

Azura raised an eyebrow and nodded. "I like the name. I don't know what Wheeljack would call it but…"

"I honestly did not give it a name," Wheeljack interrupts gently as he got their attention. "Sorry for butting in, but we finished counting. And Five Minute Letter Scramble seems quite a blast of a name." Raf smiled as he was happy that they were going with the name he picked. "As for who won, well, that would be Rafael. He put the most cards into their correct places."

Azura was surprised and she looked at Wheeljack curiously. "Did I get something wrong?"

"A little. You were getting these ones mixed up…" Wheeljack held the cards with D and G on them, and Azura realized that the Cybertronian letters did look similar, which didn't help at all. "But that is okay. We shall start the game again. Though I believe the humans have to go back to their homes soon, according to Arcee."

Arcee snorted in amusement, placing her hands on her hips with a slight frown. "Unlike Azura, these humans have no choice but to return home. If we did not, we risk exposing ourselves to the human world. It is something this planet cannot know about just yet."

"I understand." He gathered the cards to put them back into their correct baskets. "I have made sure there are cards with the rest of the alphabet on them. That way you can play Five Minute Letter Scramble any time you want." Azura walked back to her basket and waited patiently. "There we go, give me a second and we can get started."

"I must admit, I am impressed," Ratchet comments as the wrecker put the other cards back into the correct baskets. "You have a game that can teach sparklings and humans about the alphabet, which will make my and Optimus's responsibility teaching Azura to read much easier. And now we have Escape Rooms as another option, which sounds like a good idea."

"I agree. I need to know more about them too." Wheeljack finished putting the cards back into the baskets and walked away. "Alright…" Azura and the humans were already ready to go. "You are really great students. One…two…" Azura was so ready to grab the first card. "THREE!"

She giggled as she grabbed out the first card. And it was a D, and this time, she paid a little closer attention to it. She glanced up at the baskets and ran over to the D and G marked baskets. She glanced at the letters and looked back at her card, and chucked it into one of the baskets. She was more confident that she got it right before she ran back to her basket to grab another card out to keep going.

Azura and the kids did a better job at not almost running into each other too. That was a good thing as they were running around quickly. Azura also knew that she would not get hurt if she ran into them. But it was still a risk as they ran back and forth. Azura was counting down the time in her head as well, and she felt as though she would get all the letters right. They were getting easier to remember.

"I will certainly be recommending this game for any future sparklings," Ratchet said in amusement as he watched the four continue to play. "I am even having fun just by watching."

"I am pleased to hear that. Wrecker style is not so bad after all." Wheeljack was very happy and proud that this game he invented was approved by the medic, and by Optimus Prime himself. "And you can always get creative. Such as getting them to spell out words with whatever card they pull out. Another great way to learn."

"I will keep that suggestion in mind," Optimus said with a smile. "I had started teaching her Cybertronian only recently. This definitely seems like the better way for her to learn."

Ratchet nodded as he agreed with Optimus. They look down as there was one and half minutes on the clock for them right now. Azura was doing better this time. She has not yet messed up a letter, but she was a bit more cautious about it, which slowed her down. But she slowed down so she could pay more attention to what she was doing, and it allowed her to make the better decision. That is what the bots felt.

She ran back to her basket to grab another card, and saw it was another D. She smiled as she was remembering the difference between the D and G in Cybertronian better. She ran towards the basket as she looked at the card and lowered her arm, just as she and Jack collide and they both fall onto the ground. However, the two of them start to laugh despite Optimus being immediately concerned for Jack. He knew Azura would be fine, but her body was still metal, and she could unintentionally harm him.

She sat up and looked at him with a smile. "Are you okay? I swear I didn't mean it! I was not watching wear I was going!"

"Nor was I." Jack chuckled softly as he stood up from the ground, brushing off his shirt and pants. He held his hand to her and she stood up. "It was bound to happen at some point. We might not to figure out a better way to run around."

"I agree…" Azura smiled as she shuffled around him as she held her card. "But I got to put this in the right place!"

Jack chuckled as he watched her run over to the basket she was heading to, to put it in. He ran back to his basket to grab another card. Though he was starting to feel worn out from all the activity they have done today. He was glad that this might be the last game they would do before they would head home. He certainly enjoyed having Wheeljack here in the base. He definitely was able to fit in very well, and Wheeljack likely knew that.

"Ten seconds!" Bulkhead exclaimed, making the four scramble to get the last card into the basket. "Ten…nine…eight…"

Azura managed to reach her basket and grab out the last letter. It was A. She smiled and ran towards the right basket and threw it into the basket just as Bulkhead finished the countdown. She smiled happily and took a deep intake. She realized how much energy she had been burning and felt the need to stop. She wasn't sweating or out of breath like the kids were, but she definitely felt tired. She was definitely going to be recharging very soundly tonight.

"Wonderful!" Wheeljack applauded as he clapped, along with the other bots. "You all got the letters right this time. That did not take long at all! The more you play, the better you'll be able to read. Eventually, we can remove the human language and just leave the Cybertronian. That will make it slightly more challenging, but you should know what letter is what by then."

"I had a lot of fun!" Raf exclaimed as he took deep breaths. "But now I need water! I am so thirsty!"

"Me too!" Miko wiped her forehead, flicking the sweat from her skin. "I cannot wait to have a shower!" She looked at her watch and her smile widened. "But we still got a little bit of time to party a bit more!"

Ratchet grumbled a little as Wheeljack, Bulkhead and Arcee began to gather the items. "I guess that is fine…just as long as you don't forget." Miko, Raf and Jack just laugh before they run out of the room. Bumblebee followed them out of the room and Ratchet looked down at Azura as she remained. "You did very well, Azura. I think this is something we should do at least a couple times in a week. I don't think everyday would be good."

"I would get sick of it. Just as I would get sick of training all the time!" Optimus smirked a little at Azura as she looked up at him. "But I enjoy spending time with you the most, daddy!" She turned to face Wheeljack. "Do you think you could tell me a story before recharge tonight?"

Wheeljack looked at Azura with a smile and nodded. "I can definitely do that. I might tell you a story about my life before I became the wrecking machine you see before you. My life before this was as charged up as you think."

"As long as it does not give Azura nightmares," Optimus warned the wrecker softly, making him chuckle and roll his optics. "Azura already has had a round of nightmares that has kept her awake, I would not want hjer to go through that."

"Thankfully, it is just about the old races we used to have on Cybertron…" That made Optimus smile and relax knowing that was what Wheeljack would talk about. The wrecker looked down at Azura. "You are going to want to hear about it. I was a mean, speed machine back in the day, but that really has not changed too much."

She giggled softly. "I look forward to it!" She placed her hands on her stomach for a moment with a grimace of surprise and ran to the door. "I'll meet you in the lobby."

Optimus watched her curiously and turned to follow as he was slightly concerned. "I better make sure she isn't suddenly feeling the need to purge."

"I don't think so." Ratchet smiled at Optimus as he gave him a look of uncertainly. "She danced a little before she ran out which is a sign she needed to use the bathroom. She won't be sick…but she would be very much worked up." He looked at Wheeljack who was moving things together so they won't get lost. "We at least know Azura will probably recharge for a few hours longer thanks to you."

"That is my specialty! Sparklings need a lot of recharge to grow, so I make sure to get that energy out of them so they can rest easy. Makes the night easier for the adult bots too." He looked at Bulkhead and Arcee as they finished tidying things up. "And thanks for fixing my ship too, doc. I hope it wasn't a huge burden on your shoulders."

"Nah, don't worry about it. I needed something to distract my processor from all the chaos today. It should be ready by morning." Ratchet turned and walked out of the room with Arcee, Optimus and the wreckers. "You have been a great welcome, Wheeljack."

"If only it didn't happen the way it did. I wouldn't have had to feel guilty for something that I did not do." Wheeljack intakes heavily and sighed. "But at least Azura likes me."

Bulkhead chuckled and placed his arm around Wheeljack's shoulders. "She certainly does! She already sees you as a fun uncle. She looks at me that way."

"That's good to know." Wheeljack looked at Arcee curiously. "Does she see you as a sister or an aunt?"

Arcee shrugged. "I…I am not sure. I know she sees Bee as a big brother…but I think she does see me as a sister, though she and I haven't really…well, we aren't close. Not yet."

"I see…well, I am sure she still cares for you. She seems to care about everyone a lot. And I would hate to upset her." Wheeljack looked at Optimus and realized that Prime had the metal Stitch toy he had given Azura. "I see she gave that to you for safe keeping."

Optimus nodded. "You did not have to make this for her."

"As I said, I felt too guilty not to give it to her." Wheeljack chuckled softly and looked ahead as he could hear the sound of Miko's guitar playing in the lobby. "And besides, it was better that I started on the right foot with her then allow her to be scared of me all the time."

"That is true. She will take good care of it."

Wheeljack knew that she would. He was very happy that the little sparkling was happy to be around him, and was looking forward to telling her the story before her recharge. He was also very happy that she is a very special sparkling. Now he knew who her sire and carrier are, and the fact she was also related to the dragon, Wheeljack just wanted to protect her at all costs. He knew that even if Azura was not related to Megatron or Optimus, having the abilities she had would get the attention of the decepticons.

He did feel sad a little as well, as Wheeljack was also well aware of his plan. He had not yet told Bulkhead what he planned to do once his ship is repaired. Mostly because he wanted to focus on the sparkling, and making sure that she would be okay with him. He also knew she was bonding with him, which will mean taking his leave would hurt her a lot. But he was itching to leave and go back into space to find out what else could be out there among the stars. For all he knew, there were other autobots waiting to be found.
