A bit after Ratchet walked off and leaving the tiny Optimus with his passed out mate, Aquaformer came to. She was a bit dazed and confused about why she was on the ground. It soon turned to worry as she knew she was sparked. "They are okay" came a small, tiny voice that sounded vaguely familiar.
She looked around. It sounded much like Optimus but he was nowhere in sight, or so she thought. "Must be my imagination. I'll comm Racthet" she said getting up, almost squashing her mate in the process. She commed Ratchet as she ran around the quarters trying to make sure all the little ones were okay.
Left on the floor near where his mate had been, Optimus felt bad as all he could do was watch as Aquaformer ran herself ragged. It seemed for some reason that she had forgotten he was there. He tried to find a way to get up to another surface when he felt something grab him and grab him tightly. He was worried and then he was shaken. He couldn't do much and then he realized one of his own sparklings was holding him and not letting go. Optimus sighed. This wasn't going to help anything.
Aquaformer was almost done putting the sparklings down when she noticed the last one was playing with something. She carefully approached and her optics went wide. "Crimson Rose, drop it" Aquaformer called out, her voice calm but firm though it sounded booming to Optimus.
"No, toy fun" she shot back as she held the small being close.
"How many times have I told you we don't pick up the humans because we could hurt them?" Aquaformer asked. The little femme looked up at her mom and then threw what she had in her hand. Aquaformer was worried but was thankful Crimson threw the object backwards so Aquaformer could catch it. She set the being down and chased the femme.
Optimus was worried as he flew through the air but he was soon caught and placed on a very high surface. Optimus could only watch as Aquaformer caught the little femme and finally got her down. Optimus felt even more useless now.
Soon, Aquaformer returned and she didn't look pleased. "Alright, now we talk" she said, not showing her hand just yet. Optimus swallowed hard, hoping she was willing to listen to all he had to say.
