"Don't bother. Just forget I even asked you out. Just make sure that you're in here next Tuesday morning for your appointment", Ratchet said.

I couldn't believe that Ratchet was revoking his offer to date me. "We're going to talk about this when I come in for my appointment next week", I said.

"There's nothing to talk about. Now, please leave my med bay", said Ratchet.

"Yes sir", I said sadly.

Just as I walked out of Ratchet's office, Ironhide had walked into med bay. He noticed that I looked upset about something. He met me about halfway into med bay.

"You ok, Wolf? You look upset", Ironhide said.

"I don't know if I belong here any more, 'Hide", I said.

I looked at my left shoulder. I looked at my Autobot insignia. Then I looked at Ironhide again and shook my head. "I can't live my life like this, 'Hide. I'm going to resign from the Autobots. I think it's the best thing to do", I said.

"If that's what you want to do, then I better take you to see Prime so you can tell him that you're going to resign from the Autobots", Ironhide said.

On our way to Prime's office, Jazz has just come out of his room and was heading for the rec. room. He noticed that I was upset about something. Jazz stopped us and asked me what happened in med bay with Ratchet.

Before I could respond, Ironhide told Jazz that this wasn't a good time right now. I looked at Ironhide. "No, 'Hide. Jazz deserves to know what happened", I said.

"So, what did happen? You were in a great mood when you walked in there. Now, you look like you were dumped", said Jazz.

I lowered my head. "He didn't", Jazz said.

"He did", I said sadly.

"That fraggin' bastard", said Jazz, as he punched the wall. I knew he was mad, but I didn't think he'd punch the wall.

Prime walked out of his office and asked what was going on. "It's a personal matter, sir. Something Jazz and I need to deal with", I said.

"Alright, Wolf. You and Jazz take care of it, then I want you to come to my office", Prime said.

"Yes sir", I said. Then Jazz and I headed for med bay.

After we were out of sight, Prime asked Ironhide what that was all about. "I have no idea, Prime. You'd have to ask Jazz. Wolf plans to resign from the Autobots", said Ironhide.

"Resign? Why?", asked Optimus.

"Said she doesn't feel like she belongs here any more and she can't live her life like this. Prime, she's a good kid. I hate to see her leave", Ironhide said.

"So would I, Ironhide. I'm postponing the hearing 'til I can get this straightened out", Prime said.

Back in med bay, Jazz was confronting Ratchet about the way he treated me. I couldn't believe the way Jazz was man handling Ratchet.

"Um, Jazz. I don't recall saying to man handle the doc. Please put him down before you seriously hurt him", I said. Jazz looked at me with a look that I never knew was possible by him. Then I noticed that his visor was an indigo color instead of its normal sky blue. He was royally pissed.

"I guess I'm calling Prowl in here and have you detained", I said. Then I called Prowl on my comm.

"Yes Wolf", Prowl said.

"I need your help in detaining Jazz. He's gone off the deep end and might kill Ratchet", I said.

"I'll grab Ironhide and we'll be on our way. Prowl out", he said.

While I was waiting for them, I tried to get Jazz to let go of Ratchet. I grabbed a hold of his hand and tried to peel it off of Ratchet's throat. He backhanded me with his left hand. I went crashing into the wall on the other side of the med bay.

After I got up, I rubbed my face. I had a good size Jazz hand print imbedded on my face. I speared Jazz straight into the opposite side of the med bay. We fought for a while. I had finally gotten the upper hand and put him out of commission. At least for a while.

"Don't frag with a fragger, Jazz. You're damn lucky I didn't kill you", I said. Then I walked over to Ratchet and helped him to his feet. Ratchet tried to speak, but nothing came out. Jazz had crushed Ratchet's voice modulator.

"I'm sorry, Ratchet. I had no idea that Jazz would go this far. This is all my fault. If I hadn't told him, you'd still have a voice", I said, as I helped him to the repair table.

Just as I finished helping Ratchet, three Autobots walked in. Ironhide, Prowl and Prime. I knew that Prowl and Ironhide were coming to detain Jazz, but I didn't expect Prime to come with them. They looked at Jazz, who was out cold, then they looked at me. I knew what was going to be asked.

"Yes, I took Jazz out of commission and no, I don't want to talk about it. I think I've caused enough trouble already. You'll have my resignation letter by night fall, sir", I said.

Then I turned around and walked out of med bay. I headed for my room to write my letter of resignation to Optimus.

Meanwhile in med bay, Prime told Ironhide and Prowl to take Jazz down to the brig.

"What about Ratchet and Wolf?", Ironhide asked.

"I'll have Wheeljack come in and take care of Ratchet", Optimus said.

"And Wolf?", asked Prowl.

"I'll have her come to my office when I get there. Personally, I don't want a war zone here if Sideswipe and Sunstreaker find out she resigned", said Prime.

While I was typing my resignation letter, my messenger window popped up. It was a message from Prime. He wants me to come to his office right now.

Wolf2007:

Sorry sir, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. You'll have my resignation letter in your email shortly.

OptimusPrime2007: Wolf, I wasn't asking as your leader. I was asking as your best friend. You know you can talk to me on a personal level.

Wolf2007: I know, Prime, but this is something I need to deal with on my own.

OptimusPrime2007: Have you emailed Sunstreaker and Sideswipe about this?

Wolf2007: Yes, I have. I know you don't enjoy the pranks or the petty infighting they cause, but could you do this one big favor for me?

OptimusPrime2007: Of course, Wolf. What is it?

Wolf2007: Could you make sure they don't piss off Ratchet or Prowl? I know it's asking a lot, but since I won't be here any more, I won't be able to keep then out of trouble.

OptimusPrime2007: I'll do what I can, Wolf. I'm just sorry to see you go. Just remember this. You'll always have a place here with friends waiting to welcome you back. Even Ironhide doesn't want to see you leave.

Wolf2007: Ironhide told you that he doesn't want to see me leave? I'm shocked.

OptimusPrime2007: So, was I. But yes, he told me that he doesn't want to see you leave. I don't want to see you leave, either. Tell you what. I'll drop the charges and re-instate you back to my second in command and my weapons expert, despite what the new handbook says.

Wolf2007: Tempting offer to re-instate me, but no. I've made up my mind. I will come and visit once in a while, though. Thank you for letting me be a part of a great team. You have good mechs under your command and they trust you with their lives. Don't let them down.

OptimusPrime2007: Thank you for being a part my team. Good luck and may Primus be with you always.

Wolf2007: Gracias, Prime.

OptimusPrime2007: De nada, Wolf.

After we were done talking on the messenger, I finished my letter, then sent it to Prime's email.

While I was waiting for it to finish sending, I checked my email. I was surprised to see an email from the twins.

To: Wolf2007

From: The Lambo Twins2007

What's this about you resigning from the team? We won't hear of it. If we have to, we'll weld your aft to our wall in our room, just so you'll stay. We're also sorry that Jazz hit you and that Ratchet revoked his offer for dating you. Sides says hi.

Your adopted bros,

Sunny and Sides

I replied to the email, thanking them and to tell Sides that I said hi back and that I'll miss them both. I also told them to stay out of trouble when they get back. Thing is, I knew them so well that I knew they won't. It's not their style to stay out of trouble. What they didn't know was that I plan on keeping tabs on them. One screw up and I come back to beat the slag out of them.

While I was cruisin' the net, another message window popped up. This time it was Ratchet who was buggin' me. I closed the messenger window. I didn't feel like talking to him. And why should I? He revoked his offer to date me.

I decided to sign out of messenger so he wouldn't continue to bug me. I also decided to get off the net and start packing my things.
