As Aquaformer and Optimus were spending alone time together in their quarters, Bee and Mirage watched the new little ones. Each of the six had their own personality. Bee had to smile at those who seemed to have Optimus' more patient and calm personality while trying to rein in those who seemed to have Aquaformer's more curious and stubborn nature. Then there was one who didn't really seem to have either personality. Well, not just one, but two – the mech and the femme who didn't have a twin. Solarstorm and Crimson Rose seemed to beat to their own drum.
"Wow, those two already seem to have their own way of doing things" Mirage softly commented as he didn't want to upset any of the little ones or wake them up, as four were already napping.
"That they do, but I am sure that Aquaformer already knows that" bee answered.
"You think so?" Mirage asked as he carefully held Crimson Rose.
"I know so, as Aquaformer warned us, remember?" Bee answered, who was trying to get Solarstorm to sleep.
Mirage thought back to the first time they had babysat the little ones at the request of Optimus and how insistent Aquaformer was about telling about each little sparkling. "You're right. Aquaformer definitely knows, but I wonder if Optimus does" Mirage replied.
"I doubt it, as he is busy much of the time" bee retorted, unaware a new being had entered the room.
"It's not polite to talk about someone behind their back" Spike uttered upon hearing the two talk.
"We weren't talking about them to be mean, Spike. We were just wondering if Optimus is as aware of his sparklings' personalities seeing that he is often so busy" Bee tried to explain.
"Regardless, it still isn't nice" Spike replied, "maybe you guys need to relieve him of some of his other duties so that Aquaformer can leave the quarters and Optimus can watch the little ones."
Bee and Mirage looked at each other. They hadn't thought of that. That might actually be a really good idea. "When I next see Optimus, I will speak with him about your idea, Spike" Mirage stated and Bee nodded.
"And we promise, no more talking about our teammates" Bee added. Spike nodded and soon left. Mirage and bee continued to watch the little ones, hoping the Aquaformer and or Optimus would soon come to pick up the little ones. They had no idea who would pick up the little ones but both hoped it would be Optimus so that they could talk to him. Only time would tell.
