Steeljaw and the others see Metalsound running over to them in a panic, "Metalsound, what's wrong?" Steeljaw asked.

"We have trouble, or rather you do," she replied as she transformed. "Can I talk to you two for a moment?" She asked Steeljaw and Strongarm.

Steeljaw and Strongarm look at each other and then back at her, "Sure."

"Watch Nightback, Dad!" Strongarm yells to Magnus as she walks away with the two.

Metalsound led them away from the others before facing them, "Did you promise any femmes that you would become their mate?" She asked Steeljaw.

"Huh? Yeah, a couple I think. Why?"

"Any of them a Wolf-Con? Because there's one out there that you promised to be mates with."

"Yes. Out where?"

"Here on Earth, in the forest several miles out."

"What, Quickshadow is here!?"

"You made a promise to a couple of femmes that you would mate with them?" Strongarm asked him with a raised optic ridge.

"Yes, I did promise a couple of femmes I would be their mate. But that was a long time ago and I'm not that mech anymore," he promised as he held Strongarm's servos with his own.

"And who is this Quickshadow?"

"She's a Wolf-Con I met a long time ago. As time went on I realized how crazy and obsessed with me she was."

"Is that why you broke it off with her and broke your promise?"

"Yes."

"Is she a Yandere?" Metalsound asked.

"What is that?" Steeljaw asked her in confusion.

"A Yandere is where one is in love with another, but it's more of an obsessive love. They will do anything to keep their love interest happy, they will even kill those that appear as a threat to their love interest or even kill said love interest. A Yandere is mostly associated with women, but there are male Yanderes sometimes."

"Then yes, she is."

"Great. And she's a Wolf-Con as well," Strongarm said as she started to worry, more so for their son. "Does she know about him mating with me and us having a sparkling?" She asked Metalsound.

"Yes, someone named Voltstrike was watching us earlier."

"So he saw us and went back to report to her," Steeljaw says starting to feel scared for his family, "What did she say?" He asked Metalsound. Metalsound replayed what she had heard. When it was over Steeljaw was feeling outraged, "That psycho bitch will not get anywhere near Strongarm or Nightback! I'll kill her if she tries anything!"

"If she doesn't come after you first, and watch the language. We have the kids roaming around the scrapyard somewhere. She took a good chunk out of a tree in her temper tantrum," Metalsound growled, she was worried for the family.

"Yeah that's her, she's big at throwing a tantrum when she can't get what she wants. She's very spoiled."

"That or it's something deeper in her psyche," Metalsound mused, "You okay, Strongarm?" She walked over to her when she noticed that the femme was quiet.

"Not really but I will be," she replied.

Metalsound smiled at her, "I'll let you two talk this out. I better check on Ember," she said as she walked away.

"Why didn't you tell me you had actually made a promise to a couple of femmes?" Strongarm asked Steeljaw after Metalsound left. Strongarm sees his hesitance to answer, "Do you still have feelings for her?"

"No, when I found out what she had done I ended all contact with her," he shuddered at the memory.

"What did she do?"

"She killed a femme, who tried to get too close to me," he closed his optics as he remembered the whole incident, "There was Energon everywhere, and the femme's body was dismembered."

"Are you serious!?"

"I wish I wasn't."

"No wonder you left her. Were there any feelings there before that happened?"

"It was a mutual friendship, but everything I told her was a lie."

"So, you were just using her like the others and you had no intention to mate with her even though you promised?"

"Yes," Steeljaw looked to the ground, feeling ashamed of himself.

"How would you feel if you saw her again?"

"Furious, and scared. She threatened you and our son. Our son." Steeljaw hated to admit it but he was scared beyond belief for his family, "I love you, and I love Nightback."

Strongarm hugged him, "We'll work through this together. I love you."

"I love you too," he whispered as he nuzzled her helm.

"We can't let this femme tear our family apart."

"I know. Amazingly, we've been through so much trial over these past years, and yet our love is still strong, and has been for almost 5 years."

Strongarm smiled, "Yes it has, and it will stay just as strong in the years to come."

After a couple of minutes Steeljaw pulls back, "Let's go on patrol to clear our processors." Strongarm agreed and they headed out for patrol. "You know our anniversary is in a couple of days," Steeljaw said to Strongarm as he drove next to her.

"Do you have anything special planned for us?"

"Of course I do, I told you that the last time you asked," he chuckled. "Can't believe it's been five years."

"And you still won't tell me what you're planning," she chuckled. "Time sure has flown by."

"Nope, you'll have to wait. It's amazing seeing as I've never been with anyone this long before."

"I know, and I never really thought I would be with anyone. I figured my training would take up my time."

"How many boyfriends have you had?"

"Including you, one."

"I'm the only one?"

"Yes, but a few mechs back at the academy asked me out. I told them I was too busy studying or training."

"Wasn't interested or something?"

"I never was interested in any of them."

"How come?"

"I don't know. I just wasn't."

"What made you interested in me?"

"Because of what you said when I beat you in our last fight as Decepticon and Autobot," she replied with a blush.

"What? I'm starting to like you, Cadet?"

Hearing the old compliment/taunt made her blush even harder, "I kind of liked it when you called me cadet."

"Really? Why?"

"I'm not sure, I just do."

"But you didn't seem to like it when I called you cadet before that."

"That was back when we were on different sides. I actually miss it when you call me that."

"I didn't think you even fell for that line."

"I didn't, but it really made me think. If you hadn't said that I wouldn't have given you a chance in the first place."

"Really? In that case, I'm very glad I said it, Cadet."

Strongarm giggled as she drove a little closer to him, "Want to take this off-road?" She asked seductively, "We could have another game of tag."

"Most certainly," he replied seductively. Revving her engine she made a turn onto a dirt road. Revving his engine, Steeljaw followed.

Strongarm transformed as she ran to hide behind a tree, holding her servo to her mouth to muffle her laughter. Steeljaw transformed as well and started sniffing the air, smelling out her scent. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying Strongarm's scent to Steeljaw, along with two other scents.

Hearing something moving, Strongarm looked in the direction of the sound, unable to see anything.

Steeljaw growled as he recognized the other two scents. He smelt them in the direction where Strongarm was, he ran over to her location. Come to me, Strongarm, now!

Why, what's-? Strongarm's question was cut short when she felt something hit her helm, knocking her out.

Strongarm? Strongarm! He couldn't get a reply from her and darted to her location only to get knocked out when he got there.
