Titans from Space. (Transformers Prime) (Wattys 2017)

The next day while Winter was making breakfast she heard a knock on the door. She sighed quietly and walked over then opened it. She blinked in surprise when she saw Don. His once long hair that was always in a short ponytail, was now cut short. He smiled slightly and mock saluted with two fingers.

"How ya doing Win?" He asked as he smiled. She gave him an annoyed look and let him in.

"What are you doing here so early?" She asked as she yawned a little and went to the kitchen.

"Um... you texted me late last night and I was asleep... so I came right over cause... you know... you needed me." He mumbled and blushed a little. Winter stopped suddenly and looked at him then away as she blushed deeply.

"Oh... well... thanks." She muttered and continued to make breakfast. Why would he do that? Why would he just come running for her?

"Don? What are you doing here?" Ellie asked as she looked at him. She rubbed her face tiredly and was still in her pajamas.

"Hey baby." He said as he smiled and hugged her tightly, then gripped her face as he kissed her. Winter looked away and frowned at her actions. She felt bad that someone so nice as Don was getting hurt.

"Uh Ellie... can I talk to you?" Winter asked as she hid back in the kitchen. Her friend pushed away from him and gave him a confused look.

"I thought you weren't coming back." She muttered as she watched him. He chuckled softly and handed her a rose.

"I'll always come back to the one I love." He whispered quietly and gently kissed her cheek. She stared at the rose and silently criticized the pathetic thing.

"Do you have a job?" She asked and looked at him. He seemed a little hurt by her question and nodded slowly.

"Yes... I work at a repair shop for cars now." He said as he smiled a little. She frowned and watched him quietly.

"So now you're a grease monkey?" She asked and sighed quietly before going into her room. He hung his head and his shoulders came up a little.

"Hey uh Don... can you come help me?" Winter asked as she looked into the room. He nodded slowly and walked into the kitchen.

The two were quiet as they made breakfast then they talked a little about the robots. Pretty soon he was in a better mood and ate breakfast with her before having to go to work.

"I'll be back later today okay?" He said as he smiled slightly and walked to the door. "Tell Ellie I love her." He muttered and hugged her tightly before leaving.

"I will...." Winter mumbled as she watched him go. She sighed quietly and flopped on the couch as she thought.

It was still the weekend and she wanted to be lazy today. She wondered if she should tell Agent Fowler what happened last night. Would it matter?  She sighed forcefully and called him.

After a while he called her back and she told him what happened. He was quiet for a while and decided her life was in danger. He told her he would be there soon and she argued for a few minutes before he just hung up. Ellie walked back in after a moment and glared at her.

"Why did you ask him to come?" She hissed angrily. "I got over him." She muttered bitterly.

"Seriously? He came to talk to me about something and wanted to let you know he was still here for you." She said and glared at her friend.

"I don't love him anymore!" Ellie yelled angrily and narrowed her eyes.

"Then you need to tell him that and not string him along!" Winter said and stomped off to her room. Ellie huffed angrily and called her new boyfriend over.
