The next morning, after a good nights rest, Lancex woke up and he smiled at what he saw. On one side, Optimus had his arms around the lower back/hip area of Lancex while a smile was planted on the Prime's countenance. The hug from the Prime felt warm and enjoyable to Lancex. Then Lancex felt several hot breaths on his neck. He turned his head and found Predaking snuggled up on the other side, holding the prince like a teddy bear. Lancex smiled even more and yet still was amazed. He couldn't believe that it had taken him so long to realize his own feelings for Optimus and Predaking. And not only that, they indeed loved him. He could only hope he would be a worthwhile mate to these two powerful and formidable bots. And with that thought, he snuggled back up and fell into recharge once again.
A few hours later, Optimus and Predaking roused from their slumber only to find Lancex sound asleep between them. Being that more bold bot, Predaking smirked before planting a searing hot kiss on Lancex, and in doing so, caused the bot to moan and then wake up. Predaking soon ended the hot kiss. Optimus smiled at the sight, and chuckling softly, wished a good morning to Lancex as well as Predaking. Both smiled and then the three got up, got ready, and headed out.
Soon, they headed out to get some much needed energon. Once they obtained the energon and consumed it, Ratchet approached and informed them that the space bridge was ready and it's coordinates are set for Griffen Rock. Optimus thanked his old friend. Ratchet nodded and then Optimus and the two other bots prepared to head through. Optimus informed his troop he would return in a day or two. The others nodded in acknowledgement and soon Optimus, Lancex, and Predaking headed through the bridge.
Upon arriving in Griffen Rock, the three were greeted by Chase and Chief Burns. Optimus greeted the pair and then asked that he and his two friends be led to the Rescue bot base. Chase and chief Burns agreed and soon led the trio to the site, everyone wondering just why Optimus was here and what these two strange bots were doing here with him. Things would be revealed soon enough, for both the Rescue Bots and the burns family as well as Predaking and Lancex.
