Life's New Adventures and Secrets

Chapter 20

The next day, Steeljaw got up and went out to get everything settled for his and Strongarm's anniversary, "Soundwave, you still got the coordinates to the place I told you?" Steeljaw asks as he walks up to the Alchemor where Soundwave is. Soundwave nodded, showing him the coordinates, "Good, now to get everything there and all set up for tonight."

Soundwave left to get everything ready before stopping for a moment to glance at Razorclaw who was standing at the doorway, "Is there anything I can do?" Razorclaw asked.

"Yeah, you can help us carry the stuff over," Steeljaw tells him while handing him a couple of things to carry.

Razorclaw looked at the items before following Soundwave, "What is this stuff?"

"A blanket and a few light rods."

"For what?"

"For a romantic picnic I got planned for me and Strongarm. It's our fifth anniversary and I want to do something romantic."

"Why plan a picnic? What's an anniversary?"

"An anniversary marks the day when we got together, we mated on this night five years ago, and it's not really a picnic. We'll just be sitting on the blanket while drinking Energon and looking at the stars."

"Oh, that must be nice."

"Yeah, just don't tell Strongarm, it's a surprise."

"OK. How did you two meet?"

"We met in some woods. I was looking for other 'Con criminals to join me because I wanted to build an army so I could take over this planet and I came across a pod with one still inside. I was getting ready to slash it open and free him when Strongarm came across me and yelled at me to put my claws in the air, that's when we first saw each other but she was trying to arrest me and I was trying to stay free."

"That's an interesting way to meet someone," he chuckled.

"Yeah," he said with a chuckle, "We did get into a fight, I attacked her and knocked her out then took her captive and tried to get her to tell me about her base and the other Autobots."

"Did you try sweet-talking her like you would with other femmes?"

"Of course, but she didn't fall for it so I was left with attacking her instead."

"Then what happened?"

"Sideswipe and the human Russell came and while Sideswipe pretended to be a 'Con to distract me Russell released her. I chased Sideswipe through the woods and when we went back to where she was she did a surprise spin kick, kicked me right in the face, and knocked me into a tree."

"Ow, that had to hurt. Did they capture you?"

"No, I got away, and I got into other fights with them where I tried to dispose of Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Grimlock."

"You never tried to dispose of Strongarm?"

Steeljaw thinks for a moment, "Actually, no I didn't."

"Why not?"

"I think I always kind of liked her ever since our first meeting, it intrigued me that she didn't fall for my sweet talk and charms as all other femmes did. There was one fight we had where one of the 'Cons I was with was supposed to dispose of her but failed."

"That is interesting. And you've been together for five years?"

"Yep, and the one time I tried to dispose of her myself was when I started falling in love with her because she beat me and outsmarted me." Razorclaw stared at Steeljaw in awe, wishing that he could find someone for himself. Yes, he had other mates but he wasn't even attached to them like Steeljaw was with Strongarm. "You alright?" Steeljaw asked.
