3rd POV (Somewhere in Jasper Nevada)

Jack rides on his bike and Lydia glides on her roller skates to K.O. They stop and look at the restaurant. Arcee and Periwinkle appeared behind them, both in their motorcycle forms.

"Nice bike." Arcee complimented.

"Wow, Lydia. You're replacing me for a pair of wheels. My spark bleeds." Periwinkle teased.

"Arcee, really. Miko already tried. Tell Optimus I respect him big time, but if you're at war with the Decepticons there's nothing I can do to help. And you're going to change my mind either, Periwinkle." Jack claimed.

"Optimus didn't send me or Periwinkle. And no one's asking for your help." Arcee tells him.

"Ok. So we all agree that me or Lydia aren't warriors material." Jack stated.

"Jack, I just lost someone I cared about. Maybe it's the grief talking. Maybe your growing on me. Whatever it is, I'm just not ready to say goodbye." Arcee tells him.

"You're not the only one who's not ready to say goodbye. I've been through something years ago and my ex-best friend bullied me for that. I become distant and cold. But when I meet Periwinkle, I started to open myself to friendship. She even helped me at my lowest moment. I need Periwinkle." Lydia confessed.

Meanwhile, Rachet found the location of the Space Bridge.

"Optimus, I've pinpointed the location of Megatron's Space Bridge, high in Earth's orbit." Rachet informed.

"Out of our reach." said Optimus.

"Okay, so you guys don't fly. But can't you just ground bridge there?" Miko asked.

"The ground bridge has limited range. Stretched all the way into orbit, its vortex could snap, and scatter us to the stars." Rachet points out.

"Since Megatron is likely already in transit, I'm afraid we must take that risk. Reaching the Space Bridge first is our only means of stopping him." Optimus stated.

Jack and Lydia drive back into Base on Arcee and Periwinkle. Jack gets off of Arcee and Lydia does the same with Periwinkle. The two femmes transform back into their robot forms.

"Hey, guess who's back." Jack tells them.

"The former 'we want to have normal lives' due." Lydia joked.

"Autobots, prepare for departure." Optimus tells them.

"Where to?" Arcee asked.

"The Final Frontier." Miko answered.

"Space? I thought they didn't have any way to get there." Jack stated.

"They don't, really." Raf replied.

"Be seeing you?" Jack says to Arcee, who smirks at him. Rachet activates the Ground Bridge.

"Be careful, Bee." said Raf. Bumblebee beeps in reassurance before walking towards the Ground Bridge.

"Try not to become scrapheap in space. Ok, Pera." said Lydia.

"I won't, Lee. I promise." Periwinkle reassured. She walks towards the Ground Bridge.

"I'm so jealous." Miko complained.

"Don't even think of following me." Bulkhead tells her sternly. He starts to walk towards the Ground Bridge.

"Optimus, if you leave me on a planet teeming with humans, I will never forgive you." Rachet claimed.

"Until we meet again, old friend. Autobots, rollout!" Optimus called out.
