The Auto King

The king's of the past

Here is the next chapter up so please please please review and my new story the quest for the magic sword, so here it is.

As night approaches and the stars appearing in the sky, optimus and Prowl and the two cub's were walking through the grassland as the sunset's light began to disappear. With the cub's walking in a shamed matter, optimus then stops all the sudden. "Prowl" said optimus, but sternly. Prowl flies forward and lands in front of optimus, but with his trepidation showing. "Yes, sire?" said Prowl.

"Take dinomite home. I've got to teach my daughter a lesson" said optimus sternly. As he heard this, lilly crouches lower in the grass as if to hide. He knows what is going to happen next. Prowl then flies back to the cub's. "Come, dinomite. Lilly..." said Prowl as he turns to lilly and places his wing on her shoulders, gives a heavy sigh, and then a reassuring pat. "Good luck" said Prowl and then he and dinomite left.

"Lilly!" said optimus calling to lilly, very sternly, and not looking at him. Lilly slowly turns and walks towards her father. Lilly steps into a depression. Looking down she sees that her front foot fits inside just the footprint of her father's front feet. A very tense moment for lilly. It comes across that her father could easily do much, much more than discipline lilly. It also comes across that lilly has some rather big shoes to fill, so to speak, and is only now realizing her true position. Lilly is harshly reminded of how small and young she is compared to her father. She looks up and, quite courageously, continues to come forward. Optimus thinks silently for a few moments, not looking at his daughter. Then, finally, he turns to her. "lilly, I'm very disappointed in you" said optimus.

"I know" said lilly quietly and sadly.

"You could have been killed. You deliberately disobeyed me. And what's worse, you put dinomite in danger!" said optimus continuing.

"I was just trying to be brave like you" said lilly bordering on crying as voice cracks.

"I'm only brave when I have to be. Lilly... being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble" said optimus being more calm.

"But you're not scared of anything" said lilly.

"I was today" said Optimus.

"You were?" said lilly being disbelieving.

"Yes... I thought I might lose you" said optimus as he bends down closer to his daughter.

"Oh. I guess even kings get scared, huh?" said lilly lightening up slightly.

"Mm-hmm" said Optimus.

"But you know what?" whispered lilly conspiratorially.

"What?" whispered optimus.

"I think those higheenas were even scareder" said lilly. Optimus gently laughed and said "'Cause nobody messes with your dad. Come here, you". Then he playfully tackles lilly to the ground. They both of them began to tussle playfully for a brief while. "Oh, come here..." said lilly as she chases her father and leaps at him. "Gotcha!" said lilly. Then it ended with optimus lying down and lilly on his back. "Daddy?" said lilly.

"Hmm?" said optimus.

"We're pals, right?" asked lilly.

"Right" said optimus with a gentle laugh.

"And we'll always be together, right?" asked lilly.

"Lilly... Let me tell you something that my father told me... Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars" said optimus.

"Really?" said lilly looking up at the stars in awe.

"Yes... So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you ... And so will I" said optimus.
