* The next day's dream* 

??? POV 

"Ratchet it's alright why don't we talk this over. You getting like this is scaring me a little". 

"I know but...I can't help it I worry over you". 

"You need to stop worrying so much...really I'll be okay. Now come here my favorite medic". 

"You calling me that means more than you realized". 

"I know it does now how about I destress you". 

"Don't use that tone with me...but yes I would like to". 

"Then follow me on the brethe and I'll be taking the lead". 

"Primus this femme is going to be the end of me". 

*End of dream*

Ratchet POV 

"Huh"?! I shot awake and looked around trying to take in what just happened to me. I know it was a dream but...*sigh* it felt all to real. I laid back down looking at my data pad and found it was 8:00 am in the morning. 

"I really wish that wasn't a dream". I groaned as I got up from bed and made my way to the med bay. It has been a while since I've had a fond memory of our time together...it's nice I guess. But anything is better than watching someone you would care more than the world die over and over again. I sat on the chair and looked at a image on the wall...it had Alex's face with it. She and the other humans had all of us take a selfie when we had gotten our phones for the first time. I sighed and tor my helm away from the image and thought about my relationship with Alex. 

It was a "friendship" a good one at that...but lately I've been feeling different about it. I've never had noticed it before but...I've been less stressed out when Alex is near me. She always seems to calm me now even if I don't want it. 

"If I wasn't the bot I am I would of told her already". I muttered. A part of me wanted to tell her how much I cared about her, how my spark ached to be with her. But myself guilt never makes it easy for me. Though it's not only that...I feel like I'm cheating on first love even though she has passed. I just...don't know what to do. It would be wrong of me to deny her...but it wouldn't be fair to "her". 

"Ratchet"? 

I turned around and saw Optimus looked confused. 

"What is it Optimus". I said turning away form him to stand up.
