Driving around town, alone at night, Strongarm listens to songs on her radio while she's driving home from work. Instead of going straight home, she decides to go to a cafe and drink Energon coffee. She arrives at her destination and sits on the chairs outside the restaurant for a chill night. A worker sees Strongarm and asks her about what type of Energon she would like to order. Smoothie, coffee, cold or hot drinks and other types on the list. She orders coffee and the worker tells her that it will be ready in 5 minutes. As the worker goes inside, Strongarm decides to open her phone and watch Cybertok. She watches life tutorials, art, shorts with animals, bots going on adventures and others. After a while of waiting, a bot approaches her. It's Chromia!

Chro: Nice night, isn't it Strongarm?
Army: Chromia. Nice to see you!

Chromia sits on the other seat and starts a conversation with Strongarm.

Chro: So, how have you been doing? How’s work?
Army: Great. Work is fine, it's just sometimes stressful.
Chro: I see. Is that why you're having a chill night today? Plus, the sky is clear and the stars are beautiful!
Army: Yeah…

Strongarm then lowers her helm. Chromia notices that something is bothering Strongarm and asks her.

Chro: Is there something bothering you?

Strongarm looks at Chromia.

Army: No… Well. I don't know.
Chro: If something is bothering you, you can tell me. I might be able to help you if you need advice or something similar.

Strongarm takes a small breath.

Army: Okay, I'll tell you. But don't tell anyone about this!
Chro: Uhh, okay? I don't know why would I tell anyone...

Chromia looks at Strongarm who is serious.

Chro: Ooohhh~… *smirks* Is it a love problem?
Army: *blushes* Well... Yeah, it is.

Chromia hits Strongarm's arm in a friendly way.

Chro: Why didn't you say so!? I can help you with that, for sure! So, who are we talking about?

Chromia comes closer to Strongarm to hear the name of her crush. Strongarm looks at her and gets embarrassed, thinking that Chromy will always bring this conversation up anytime they meet. After a few seconds of silence, Strongarm decides to tell her.

Army: *blushing* Okay, here it goes. The name, might shock you.
Chro: It isn't Bumblebee now, is it?

Strongarm quickly looks at her and how she immediately guessed. Because of Chromia’s shocked and serious expression, Strongarm becomes worried and a bit jealous, thinking that Chromia too might have a crush on him, or even be dating him! Could it be possible that she might be Bee's girlfriend or something?

Army: Ummm…
Chro: *shocked* It IS Bee!... Are you sure you are in love with him and not having a crush on him because he was beside Optimus Prime?
Army: That was in the past. Now I'm starting to have feelings for him, AGAIN, and they are much stronger than before. So, I'm sure of it!

Chromia takes a deep breath before telling Strongarm her thoughts on this.

Chro: Look, Strongarm. How do I say this to you… I, don't think that you and Bee will be getting together anytime soon. He's a popular figure around Cybertron and, there are hundreds of bots who have crushes on him and want to date him. Not to mention that he probably has stalkers, just like Jazz… I don't think that Bee is with this idea about finding a bot he loves and prefers to live alone.
