"Well, for one, you drove over a minor." Fowler snarled, "You hospitalized him!"

"That wasn't me, Megs was at the wheel." I waved it off.

"I had Megatron in a interrogation room." He muttered, "And I can't even arrest you." He was dying internally, I'm sure of it. "The other human, which you stole- Drove around in Optimus-"

"Not a human."

"Right- Wait, who was that?" He quizzed.

"Optimus."

"Ah ha, they don't have those devices." Fowler shook it off and waited for me to continue.

"Ok." I said and headed of to do something better. Fowler scowled as I skipped over to the two youngest bots. "Wanna go for a drive?" I asked the two.

They shared a glance, "You got wheels?"

I transformed and enabled my holoform. "I got this."

"Good enough." Bee said and transformed, opened his door and invited me in.

"You good with the chicks?" I asked Alphy, they were hopping around his frame.

"They're behaving at the moment." He shrugged.

"Splendid." And we drove off. "Hey, maybe we should go to a race?" I asked.

"Ah, no. Optimus doesn't like that. Not after last time." Bee said as we drove, a little over the speed limit.

"When Knockout went after that human?" I asked.

"Yea."

"Huh?" Smoke asked as he drove beside us, on the other side of the road, where other cars were supposed to be driving.

"This was before you came." I told him.

"Oh, but one little race can't hurt." Smoke teased as he reeved he engine, accelerating slightly. "Scared of loosing?"

"You gonna let him talk to you like that?" I asked Bee.

He speed up in response and soon a mild road rage commenced. My mad laughter was interrupted. "Ow." I muttered.

"What?" Bee said more focused on the road.

"Magnus tripped over my alt." I told him and disengaged my holoform.

I was back at base. "Sorry." Magnus muttered. I said nothing.

"He might not be able to hear you with a holoform." Optimus shrugged and picked up my alt, taking it off the floor and out of harms way. Was I lighter in this form or did he get stronger? He set me down outside, in front of the base.

"I'm a welcome mat now, am I?" I asked and Optimus jumped in fright.

He shrugged. "Well, you are welcoming."

"Hug me." I requested, staying in my alt.

"Why?"

"I've never been hugged in my alt before." He picked me up, I felt like a youngling. "This is nice."

"Good." Optimus smiled softly.

"Your turn!" I giggled as I transformed, dropping on Optimus.

"Ah no."

"I insist."

He transformed with a huff. I bent down to pick him up but he merely reversed, he was pushing my buttons. "Are my hugs really that bad?" I asked.

He drove back slowly. He's so easy to guilt trip, I picked him up but then gravity remembered me and I fell on him.

"You're so weak." Optimus grumbled under me and transformed.

"I sit on my berth all day and sip high grade, of course I'm weak!" I complained and gave him a little kiss. "But your weight is no joke." I told him as I got out some high grade and sipped at it.

Optimus tried to snatch it off me. "You want your own? You could have just asked." I teased.

"Ah, no. You should really stop with it." Optimus said as he sat up, "Your spark-"

"Fine, I'll put it on hold for a week." I put a servo over my spark and tossed the high grade.

"It could seriously harm you- Wait, what?" He blinked... Twice.

"I'll put it on hold for a week." I repeated. Optimus looked genuinely surprised and happy, "Making you happy, makes me happy." I crossed my arms as I got up.

A tint of blue went up Op's face as he smiled softly. But my joy was short lived.

You're happy. Megatron stated broadly, I frowned and so did Optimus.

"Megatron, wants to know why I'm happy. He acts like it's forbidden." I explained, he nodded with a knowing expression.

So?

Why?

Am I not allowed to be happy? I asked, rather aggressively. I'm pretty sure Optimus could feel my negative aura as he took a step back.

Megs was silent for a. Yes. He sounded if he was strangling himself, How is your... Chicken? He asked, each word coming slow and separate. I never heard him so uncomfortable.

She expects an apology. I said, not that she did, but she deserved one.

I am not apologizing to a chicken. Megatron huffed, I want you back on the Nemesis. Oh there it is.

"He wants me back on the Nemesis." I whispered to Op, he grit his derma together in frustration. What if I don't want to be on the Nemesis?

We have an open cell.

"Now he has threatened to throw me in a cell." I huffed and hugged the best bot of all.

He hugged back, a little awkwardly.

"You're not accustomed to showing affection, are you?" I asked.

"Oh? It's not anyone could just walk out here and see us cuddling." He said sarcastically.

"I could tell them." I offered.

"And have you sing a song how you fragged me? No thank you." Optimus joked.

I hummed and sang, "Now I really must not brag, but your good leader I did frag..."

You want to stay in the cell? Megatron asked.

Nope. I let go of the hug, "Meg is lonely. I gotta go"

"Well, as long as you don't sing that song-"

"Although his spike is nothing grand, it really listens to my command." I started.

Optimus groaned into his servo in embarrassment.

"Don't have to much fun without me." I laughed.

Op snorted, "I won't." He said as I took off swiftly, reaching for the sky.
