A/N sorry last chapter had a lot of spelling errors. ):

highfires pov:

"hey highfire" rainshot asked me pulling away to sit up straight. "yes sweetspark" i said giveing her a fond look but then got worried when i saw a flash of sadness in her optics. "can you make me a promise....... a promise that you won't do anything dangerous if there's another way" i cocked my helm to the side in confusion then set it back up straight. "yes but you have to promise me the same thing" i said laying my servor on the side of her face. "i promise..... but i wanted to tell you something only my parents know" she let out at last. "and whats that" i said letting my servor drop back down to my side. "i....... had a lover before you he .........died in the war" i saw the sadness grow in her optics till they looked like they were about to burst. "i'm so sorry i had no idea" i replied drawing her in tightly to my chassis. 

"but i promise this time im not losing you" she said and snuggled deeper into my chassis. "high-shot" we both started to say each others names at the same time making it sound like 'highshot'. she giggled and pulled up cutely covering he mouth with her servor. "looks like we just gave ourselves our lover name" i laughed to. it was custom from lower class lovers to have a 'call sign' if you will. most couples actually loved it and i loved ours. "yeah i guess we did i cant wait to tell bee" i said standing up to stretch and rainshot following quickly after. "its getting pretty late i think we should head back" she said and started walking back in the direction of the camp. we walked for a few minutes in silence holding servors. she looked up at me a questoning look in her optics. "what is it" i replied in a friendly tone. "why....... were you so worried about bee hurting me" she let out obviously meaning no offense to me or bee. 

"it just...... ive seen what he can do when hes like that and i wouldn't want you to get hurt" i finished she gave me a small smile. "he just other bots don't understand what hes going though and they never will even me and you or cascade will never know the true story. she gave wise wourds i could not lie. "you really are a sweetspark" i said pulling her in for a swift kiss on the cheek and laving her stunned for just a moment. "yeah and your not to bad yourself" she jokingly replied. "ow that hit me right in the feelings" i said being over dramatic. "me and you both" i heard the voice of a mech and turned to look behind me. some random mech was lying face first on the ground. "you good man" i called out wondering if he was fine. i walked over with rainshot to check on him. "yep just fine ..... hey wait your bumblebees friends aren't you" he said sitting up and pointing a digit at us. "ummmm yes"

rainshot replied confused. "he said that i was a example that failure had a *sniffle* sense of humor" i could barely hold my laughter in i looked over at rainshot who was also strugling. "did you deserve it" she let out after calming down. "ummmmm yes" he said and lay back down. "then that settles it" i said and walked a ways before me and rainshot completely lost in laughing until we were wheezing. "failure hase...... a sense of........ humor"  i said in between wheezes. "i wounder where he...... comes up with that stuff" rainshot said controlling herself. "well have to ask him when we get back" i replied and we kept walking servor in servor. still laughing a small bit.

ratchets pov:

it was mid afternoon and the sun beat down cold rays giving our home a liffless look from far or what was left. "come on .... eat" i said pushing the small box of energon back across the bench to where bee was sitting with highfire, rainshot, cascade, and wheeljack. "ratchet i'm not hungry" he said bitterly pushing it away to his left and out of reach from me. "bee the last time you ate was yesterday" highfire said pushing the box back his way because he could reach it. "i know were rationing our energon but that doesn't mean just not eating" highfire continued to push. "i'm going to have to arnt i" bee said his door wings giving a irritated twitch. "yep" i replied and firmly crossed my arms. "fine just don't watch me its weird" he said scowling at me from across the table. 

"yip yip yip just eat it" i said an watched him scornfully take a bite of the cube and continued to watch just discreetly as he swallowed it hard and got a sour expression on his face. he was clearly finding it especially hard to eat today and i cursed myself for not noticing this behavior sooner. I normally ignored it when he denyed the food but now I see how much of a problem it had been in the first place and was glad that Cascade caught my mistake. I gave a sigh before I got up to go to the my makeshift med tent.  wheeljack got up and followed me stopping me inside the tent. "ratchet .....will you tell me what happened to bee I know something hase" I looked at him confused. "no ones told you" he shook his helm and raised his servos in confusion. 

"ok just don't say anything about it to him" he nodded to except my deal. I gave a sigh before continuing. "Megatron killed his adopted family and his best friend but the red optics you've heard about was all shokwave while he was held captive on the nemesis they ........ experimented on him but also didn't give him nearly enough energon" he looked horrified for a moment then went into thought. "and that's why he forgets to eat" he let out and I nodded. "yes" I replied before going back to what I was doing and wheeljack left the tent. 

bumblebees pov:

I choked down the last bit of the energon cube. it made me gag but I swallowed it anyways knowing I would never hear the end of it if I didn't. wheeljack came out of the med tent and sat back down at the bench casting quick glances at me. I wondered why but shrugged it off right now I was trying not to puke. I shook my helm and the feeling went away I continued on listing to the conversation the rest of the group was having when I heard Optimus call names for a mission. "rainshot, highfire, bumblebee" hmmm all my close friends wonder why. I got up with rainshot and highfire close behind me.  he lead us away to a less crowded area. "yes Optimus" I said looking up at him as we gathered around. "I have a very important mission for you all" he said a almost worried look in his optics. "what is it" rainshot said stepping forward. Optimus paused for a moment before continuing. "only your team can do it you strong well forged and quick but it will be dangerous ...........I need you to launch the allspark into space"
