It was once again morning. One like any other, whit the only difference being that the Statue now Confirmed to the kids to be there missing friend, was laying at the railing to the human area. Fates head was laid on the railing as she once again was unable to move.

The kids were allready making plans on how to reverse the petrafecation to at least let Fate move again, while always reserving her feedback per Textmessage.

Miko was sitting on Fates snout, while the boys looked over the back off the sofa they were sitting on.

Fate still heard them talk and could tell miko was on her stone snout but didn't care only showing slight amusement when there was a sudden shrill shreek came from the hallway.

And apperently Agent Fowler dicided that since last Time he almost got Torn apart by a stone dragon that he was better of coming in the mornings.

From what Fate could tell The government agent, smokescreen and bee where all panicking, noticing that the kids where so close to a seemingly Ruthless Hunter.

The kids quickly got snatched up by smockscreen and Bumblebee befor they could get heard, not knowing that it was actually just fate.

Fate however didn't take to kindly to the disturbance of her nap.

Unexpectedly she suddenly got up and jumped at the worrier holding miko and jack. Knocking him onto the ground even with her much smaller size, as she quickly grabbed the two humans before they got hurt.

Plopping miko and jack on the sofa carefully she took a nother leep, landing directly on Bee snatching up Raf und returning to the human platform as she set him two down, before curling protectivly around the human area.

Ratched walked over before crouching down and Petting her head, getting a silent pur as a response.

"I suggest not messing whit it today, i dont need it running of again." Ratchet Komplaint as he look at the stone Animal, her ears twitching slightly as she made a soundless chuckeling.

She quickly texted both smockscreen and bee's com's whit a sly smirk.

"I  C a N  H e A r  Y o U r   S p A r K s  P o U n D i N g 🙂"

The two Mechs shared a glance before Bumblebee tryed picking up his Charge as the Dragon instantly started growling, which raf quickly cut of by Petting her neck as he walked twords bee.

":.Hey Raf? Why aren't you three scared of that thing! It almost got to smockscreen yesterday! And its just attacked us!.:" Bee buzzed very confused that The Statue seems to Protect the Children at all costs.

"She's friendly bee, and she can hardly move as is Right now. We spent most of the night talking to her, she's actually a lot like Kathrin when it comes to mishiv" The Young boy Awnserd enthusiastically.

Though Everybot's mood dropped a little at the comparison, considering she was still 'unaccounted' for.

The kids noticed the change in mood and remembered that nobody but them knew that is actually was there friend.

Miko quickly climbed onto Fate's head and made a different point.

"Plus, isn't it just awesome to have a giant stone dragon at base, Buckethead will never get to us now, and we can be left alone whit it."

Everyone agrees and dicided to give the 'stone beast' a Chance since it seemed to cheer up the kids.

—Time skip to sunset—

Every Bot and human alike was preparing things for a night outside the base at the dessert.

Warm clothes aswell as food and drinks were being packed for the kids, High grade(Alcohol but for Cybertronians) and last but not least some regular energon for the dragon.

Everybody was silently waiting for the statue to awaken and come alive once they were done.

They had planned the trip as a bonding training to hopefully avoid being attacked in near future.

"Children? May I as a Question" Optimus suddenly spoke to the kids, making them stiffen as they turned.

"Sure thing OP!" Miko piped up not wanting to seem suspicious.

"I was wondering what our nocturnal Alli's name may be, and why you have yet to properly interduce them?" Optimus asked asked, noticing the kids giving eachother glances before jack stepped forward and spoke.

"Well her name is... Crystal... And we... Forgot to interduce her...?" Jack asked more than actual stating it, whit long pauses between the words, seemingly nerves as he rubbed to back of his neck.

"YEA AND SHE WAS ASLEEP FOR MOST OF THE TIME ANYWAYS!" Miko quickly argued to get him to back of, while Raf silently texted Fate about the fake name and to go along whit it.

Right after he did though she woke up.

Everyone had there attention on her as the cracking of stone was heard as she stretched her stiff body.

Fate meanwhile just started to move her head every which way, at some point even turning it upside down only for it to keep tilting until it was back at its starting position.

What confused her though was that the only sound came from the faint grinding of gears and wirling of vents.

After a tense minute or 5 Optimus finally spoke, to break the silence, that seemed almost defining.

"Good evening Crystal, i hope you feel well rested this evening." He spoke as he looked down at her not knowing what to expect.

"S l e p t  l i k e  a  r o c k, i s   e v e r y b o d y   a s l e e p   a l l r e a d y ?" Fate asked a little confused over the coms, while smirking at the slight pun.

This was only made better by a mix of groans, sighs and chuckels where heard from the room, surrounding her, causing her to smirk light-heartedly.

"G u e s s  N o t"

Shortly after fate felt herself being picked up and placed around the back of metallic Neck-cable.

"Dose this mean were finally ready to go, or what?" Weeljack asked whit a smirk, having hoisted the stone dragon around the back of his neck, causing ot to reales a allmost inaudible Yawn.

"Y o u r  g o i n g  o n  a m i s s i o n ? C a u s e  y o u  m i g h t  n o t  w a n t  t o  b r i n g  m e  o n  o n e!"

"Of course not solder, its a simple training and team building mission, mostly selected for you." Ultra magnus reported strearnly, not leaving room for argument.

"U n n e c a s a r y, i' l l   p a s s😒"

"Im afraid that there will be no skipping this Training, little one." Optimus said, not liking the Statue's adiatute towards the little "training".

All that was heard was a small huff followed by the grinding of stone, as she prepared to jump from the White wreckers shoulders.

"Why not? You could blow something up!" Weeljack retorted to Fate as he moved her to lay in his arms, stopping her from any unnoticed escapes.

"... B e c a u s e  i m . . .  b l i n d ?  A n d   w o n t   b e  a b l e  t o  n a v i g a t e  a r r o u n d." Came the quick but well thought-out excuse, as the lie slipped of the stone tongue whitout much effort.

Sadly she was too distracted on lieing to notice Weeljack carrying her through a open groundbrige, whit everybody including Ratchet and the kids, following close behind.
