Raf's New Family :: Rewriting::

That Feeling

You that one feeling you just cannot describe? The one you feel when you've lost someone? 

Optimus sat on his berth, a photo in his servos. He knew Miko was setting him up with Arcee and he was honored that someone wanted to help him but Miko didn't know anything about Cybertronian history. Optimus knew everything though that wasn't why he was sitting in his berth and that sure isn't why he has a photo in his servos.

The photo was of a small family that included a young mech and femme, twins to be exact. Like Prowl, Optimus hasn't seen his sparklings in eons. He was thrilled Prowl had found his younglings, JewelDagger and Starfighter. However, when he seen the family reunited, he had recalled his young children and mate. 

The twins both had their own personalities like any other kid. One of them took after their sire. He was quiet, never partied much, and liked being outside as well as staying out of trouble. His femmeling, however, took after her carrier somewhat. She loved parties, music, always stayed out late, and preferred going to a concert rather than staying outside the whole day. His mate, however, didn't enjoy parties that much but she'd go if there wasn't any high grade involved, she was a quiet femme that loved the outdoors and loved staying out after dark. After all, she could only have her peace and quiet at night.

He knew they were close. He could feel them. 

"Has anyone seen Optimus?", Jack yelled over the loud music Miko was playing.

"I haven't.", Miko said, halting her music, "Has anyone noticed Ratchet is happier and less grumpy? Wait a minute, where's Raf?"

AirRazor, as if on que, came out of the hallway and walked over to his mate.

"I have to go.", AirRazor said and kissed his mate's cheek plating, "I'll see you soon. Love you."

"I love you too, Razor.", Ratchet kissed the younger mech.

After saying goodbye, AirRazor headed off to school. Miko and Jack looked at one another. That was unexpected.

"Let's go you two. Bulkhead is out on a mission so I'm taking the both of you to school.", Arcee said and transformed.

The two got on without question and headed off to school.

'Maybe I can see if Raf is at school. He has to be.', Miko thought.

"Why wouldn't he be?", Jack asked Miko.

"Why wouldn't who be where?", Arcee asked.

"I didn't say anything.", Miko looked at Jack who shrugged.

When the two got to school, they seen a small truck in the parking space Bumblebee usually uses. Raf walked out in front of his truck and opened the hood. When he was satisfied that his holoform was working, he shut the hood and looked over at Miko and Jack.

The two older kids got off the motorcycle and walked into the school with Raf.

"Hey, Raf. Is that your truck?", Jack asked, Raf nodded.

"Dude, how? You don't even have your license.", Miko said as she looked through her phone.

"I'm a Cybertronian.", Raf whispered, "Last week, me and my sisters got our minds transferred to Cybertronian bodies."

"What about that thing with Ratchet?", Miko asked as she put her phone in her shorts pocket.

"In a way, we're married. Ratchet's my mate.", Raf answered.

"Dude, cool.", Miko grinned, "I wish I were Cybertronian."

Jack looked over at Miko as the two waved goodbye to their younger friend.

"Miko, I think we are Cybertronian.", Jack said, "Unlike Raf, we were probably born a Cybertronain. The only question is, who's our creators?"
