Pam sat by the window worrying about Nox after the incident.
'Hope he's ok…' Hearing some one coming in, she turned to see it was Buzz coming from the portal.
"Buzz! Where have you been?" Pam was the first to ask and saw Buzz a confident smile and failing to keep it up.
"Pam. Well as you see, I've been trying to find Tin. If I can catch him, I'll make things right with Nox. So far there's no track-" Buzz said but stop to see Nox entering the home.
Pam smiled a small smile only to relax when Nox gave her a soft pat on the head to reassure her.
"Good to see you buddy-." But Buzz was stopped when Nox just gave him a cold stare. "Listen I've been trying to get a lead on Tin but so far I got nothing. Do you by any chance got any sight on him?"
Nox as silent as he walked away.
"Nox I'm sorry."
Nox froze but did not turn.
All Pam could do was watch with worry. Afraid there was going to be a fight.
"Who wants to go on a road trip!?" Katherine yelled out but froze to sense the tension in the room. "Did I come in a bad time?"
"No please continue on about this road trip." Nox said softly.
"Well you see there is this guy who has these pretty good spare parts for cars at a pretty good price so I have to go to the next state, the keystone."
"The keystone state?" Buzz asked.
Kat nodded. "Yup and I was thinking maybe Pam would like to come with me. We'll be staying over at a motel!"
"Can we call room service?!" Pam said excited about it now as Kat picked her up.
"Your thinking of a hotel sugar bits. We're going to a motel. They got a pool and free ice and best part this motel is next to the greatest diner in the world. So want to go with your favorite mom?" Kat grin.
Pam thought for a moment. "hmm I don't know if your my favorite." Pam grin slyly.
Kat laugh and hugged her daughter more.
"May I join in the trip?" Nox grin.
"You sure? Nox it's not the greatest motel to say." Kat spoke.
Nox cross his arms and smirk, "I'll be the judge of that."
Pam smiled even wider. "Even better!"
As the trio were heading out, Buzz smiled. "Yeah go and have fun. I'll let Mira and booster know about-*SLAM*!"Buzz cringe and frowned.
On the road
"thanks Nox for coming with us, to be honest we ladies need strong guys like you to keep us safe." Kat grin, Nox nodded but was silent.
Pam smiled at Nox as he smiled back, unaware of what was going on in the fusions minds.
At the motel.
"Gotta say, the best thing about a motel, your just right in front of your car." Kat said as she unlocked their room for the night.
Pam grinned excitedly as she jumped on the bed.
"Hey hold on! Gotta check and see if there's any creepy crawling's!" her mother rushed in as Nox came in with their bags.
For five minutes Kat gave the ok to her daughter as she gotten a text.
"Ok I gotta head out and meet the guy up. Nox, can I trust you to watch for Pam?"
Nox nodded although was a bit tensed.
"Hmm… strange man selling me parts… just to be clear, if I'm not back in a half hour, call the police." Kat joke half heartedly.
"Will do!" Pam yelled out as her mom left. As Pam laid back she saw Nox a bit tense than usual.
"Hey lets check out these awesome brochures!" just as Pam was reading about the caverns, she heard a feral growl.
"Calm down, we need to think this through."
"I CAN'T FORGIVE BUZZ THIS TIME!"
"But it's the only thing we can do."
Pam was a bit scared as she saw Nox holding his shoulders tightly.
"FINE! If you don't want to agree then-!" with a flash Nox disappear and was left with.
"XR we need to think clear on this." Nos said calmly.
"Think clear?!" XR yelled. "Buzz used us! He tricked us into forming into Nocturne! Don't you feel used?!" XR frowned.
"Nos! XR! It's-!"
"XR you are making this personal and acting childish." Nos said.
"IT'S FUSION NOS! WHATS MORE PERSONAL THAN THAT?!"
"I understand you are upset-"
"I'M MORE THAN UPSET! I'm pissed off and so should you!"
Nos calmly turned to XR with a blank face of no emotion.
"I am as well XR." Nos spoke as he got up. "can you not tell the expression I have." Nos spoke with a solemn look.
"It doesn't seem like you are." He crossed his arms.
"The sooner we forgive Buzz, the better we can put this behind us." float up to kneel on top of the bed with XR glaring.
"your not above all this as you think."
"Yes I am." Now spoke.
XR growled as he tread back and forth.
"You cannot stay mad forever XR." Nos stated.
XR stopped to point out. "Want to bet on that?"
Nos looked calmly at XR. "Your burning the rug."
XR looked to see he was actually burning the rug and growled, leaving the room.
Pam who was quiet the whole time nervously smiled.
"Great to see you Nos."
"It is great to see you too Pam."
5 minutes later.
Pam came out in a bathing suit as she saw XR treading and ranting back and forth.
"Hey XR. Want to go swimming?"
"It's FUSION Pam! It like Nos doesn't even care if its important. We have to be the pushover, bigger bot! We've always have been the bigger bot!" he yelled and looked the other way. Well not this time!" XR crossed his arms.
Pam trying to be optimistic, had an idea. "Hey why don't you relax and take a swim." She jumped in splashing XR in the process.
"I'm perfectly fine Pam." And he saw the water evaporating.
"Waters nice." Pam grinned.
XR tread into the pool only to caused the pool to heat up and almost burning Pam in the process.
Pam sighed as she left to go into the room their staying in only to be frozen.
"H-h-hey N-n-n-Nos. You f-f-feeling ok?" she asked.
"I am fine." Nos answered.
Pam walked to the bed only to see it was completely frozen.
"It will not work Pam."
Pam looked up to see Nos.
"You wish for me and XR to talk about this but it will not change his mind."
"XR seems to be pretty upset by this."
"I understand Pam but he cannot hold his grudge against buzz nor me forever. In the end he will see I am right."
Pam grabbed the blankets and walked into the bathroom.
"Umm Nos… the bathroom is frozen."
"such as fate."
Pam went outside to see her mom was coming up.
"Pam! What are you doing out here where is-!"
Kat looked to see in the pool area was XR ranting and treading in what was once a pool.
"Ok where is the other bot."
Kat opened the door to see Nos sitting in the room alone.
"She will be disappointed with the pizza." He said.
Kat closed the door and frowned. "Must be really bad for Nox to split up. Well lets not let this ruin our appetite. I brought pizza!"
Pam smiled and slightly frowned as she saw it was square pizza.
"Sorry sweetheart." Kat apologize.
Pam smiled a bit more. "Got to accept the crazy things right mom?"
Kat smiled and nodded. As they ate Pam frowned. "Hey mom, why can't XR and Nos make up?"
Kat paused. "Well its not always simple. Even couples who love each other very much argues and hurts each other."
"Can't they just talk it out?" Pam asked. She was worried about them, mostly Nox. She misses him so much.
Kat smiled and hugged her daughter. "Hey those two will make up and Nox will be back. No worries ok? If anything, a little breakfast will fix it."
Pam smiled and both ate their pizzas.
Next morning
Pam had felt a little nervous as she saw both although next to each other, were keeping away.
As the waitress brought them their food, Nos and XR did not touch the food.
"Not hungry guys?" Kat asked.
"Mom bots and metas don't need to eat." Pam whispered.
"Nox likes to eat sometimes."
"Well Nox isn't here." XR said.
Both Kat and Pam continued eating only to feel the table shaking.
"You are shaking the table XR." Nos said.
"Oh so now you feel something." XR glared.
"I do not need to feel when I can see it."
"I guess everything is all crystal clear!" XR shake the table erratically.
Kat and Pam caught their plate, Nos still calm as ever.
"This will pass on. He'll eventually burn out."
XR stood up on his seat. "That's what you think! I'm an eternal flame baby!" and punched so hard, the table broke.
Pam looked around and felt tears pressuring to escape.
Without any indication, she threw her plate causing the arguing to stop. She got up and walked away.
"Pam!" she turned to see both Nos and XR there with concern and worry.
She let her tears falling. "I wanted this trip to be great cause I wanted to spend it with Nox. Home has been terrible since the incident!" she began to cry a bit more. "Being here is just as terrible. Its as if it followed us here!" she then felt the sadness welling in.
"Am I the cause of it?" she asked.
Both bots felt the pang in their chest as they saw her cry a bit more.
"No sweetheart it's not your fault. We're at fault." XR said.
"But we made her believe it was." Nos spoke with fear. "I just keep looking pass everything but never included how she would feel about this." Nos one else down, feeling tears coming down. "I did not even took into consideration. Its no wonder why you think I don't care." Nos was beginning to cry.
"Nos." XR we feeling guilty. He was so upset with Buzz, he was throwing his anger at the two of the most precious beings in his existence and now their suffering his actions.
"No! No no no no! This is my fault Nos! I didn't want to accept and forgive. I wanted to get mad and please Nos your right! You've always been right and right that I was stupid I-!"
"I do not think your stupid!" Nos shouted.
XR was surprised by the outburst but shook it away to cup Nos's head.
"I am upset after what happened, I still am but I thought doing what is right but it would not have made it better." Nos laid his head in XR's hands, emotionally drained and exhausted.
XR gazed for a moment and smiled.
"you know what's nice being separated?" XR asked and Nos glared.
"What?" Nos asked but felt his cheeks heat up when XR leaned in more to him.
"Well seeing your nice sexy form but the most part is seeing your optics."
Nos blushes and softly glares at him.
"Pervert."
"Your pervert." XR grinned as he kisses Nos at his neck and Nos began to laugh.
"Now there's my Nosy!" XR smirk as Nos. Kissed XR around his neck line.
Pam was a bit embarrassed and looks the other way and fell backwards to the ground.
"Well I paid for the damages and I am beat from this fiasco. Ready to head home?" Kat asked.
Before Pam could answer, she saw a familiar clawed gloved hand.
"Well not before we get our free ice, if you don't mind ladies?" Nox grin.
Pam smiled as she felt Nox help her up.
Nox frowned a bit. "Sorry if I ruined the trip. I can get stupid and not think about how it will affect you. I promise I'll be more considerate."
Pam hugged Nox. "I'm just happy to have you back."
Nox smiled. "You and me both sweetheart."
"We're back!" Pam yelled out as Nox brought all three bags of ice.
Buzz booster and Mira saw them coming in.
Before Buzz could say anything, Nox held out his hand, "Please not now." And he went to put the ice way.
Buzz was relieved and yet guilty.
Pam was glad Nox was ok and could see he was much calmer than before.
Nox was simply relief in being inseparable again.
"Its nice to be me again
