The next day I woke up in dad's arms. I smile up at dad and sit up. Dad smiles. "How do you feel?" Dad asks. "Soar." I say. Dad gently rubs my back. "That's to be expected." Dad says. I nod and get some food. After I had eaten I curl up with dad. Dad smiles and gently strokes my hair. "Let's go to the meadow." I say. Dad nods. I walk out and climb into his alt mode. Dad's holoform appears beside me. I rest my head on his shoulder. Dad smiles and strokes my hair. I turn on dad's radio and shut up and dance comes on. By the time we get to our meadow me and dad are singing at the top of our lungs. We were so busy singing we failed to notice the car that had been following us. I laugh and climb out. Dad transforms and lowers his hand. I climb on and dad lifts me up onto his shoulder. I smile and kiss dad's cheek. "I think you were right when you said it was no accident that you found me all those years ago. I think that it was meant to happen." I say. Dad smiles. "Who's turning into prime now?" Dad laughs. I smile. "Barricade. Put the human down! Now!" Startles dad jumps and I struggle to keep my balance but fail. Dad quickly catches me as I fall. "Are you alright!" Dad asks. I nod. "Yea. Who's he?" I ask. Dad looks up and freezes. There standing about 100 feet away from us was a slender silver bot with police markings. "Prowl..." Dad whispers. "Dad?" I ask. "Now!" Prowl shouts. Dad shields me from his guns. I grip his neck cables gently. "Dad I'm scared." I whisper. Dad gently rubs his finger down my back. "It's ok. He won't hurt you." Dad says. Slowly dad lowers his hand and sets me down. I step off his hand. Then prowl tackles dad. "Dad!" I scream. Dad punches prowl off him and he crashes beside me. I scream. "Fire heart!" Dad shouts as prowl goes to grab me. "Leave my sparkling alone!" Dad shouts his eyes red with fury. Dad throws prowl and then gently picks me up. "Are you ok fire?" Dad asks gently stroking my hair. I nod. "I'm ok dad. Are you?" I ask as prowl slowly gets up. "I'm fine sparkling. I promise." Dad says. I nod and hide my face in his neck cables. "Stay away. I don't want to hurt you. But if you try to take my sparkling again. I promise you. I will nit hold back." Dad growls. "Sparkling? She is human?" Prowl says confused. "Half human. Her mother was human. Back when I was still on the side of the decepticons." Dad says gently rubbing my back to comfort me. "Her mother was a human!" Prowl all but screams. "Yes." Dad says. I meet dad's eyes and smile. Prowl growls discussed. "Do not! mock my sparkling prowl. That is your only warning." Dad growls. Optimus suddenly appears. Optimus supports dad. "You Lier." I say. Dad gives a laugh. "Don't worry fire. I'll be ok." Dad says. I nod and kiss dad's cheek. Prowl looks on and scowls. A green portal opens and optimus helps dad into it. Then takes him to the med bay. "What happened?" Ratchet asks. "Prowl attacked me. He does not know I am an autobot now. He tried to take fire." Dad says. I kiss dad's cheek once more. "Who is he dad?" I ask. Dad sighs. "My younger spark spinning. Or in your terms my brother." Sad says. I gasp. "Your brother? Why didn't you tell me you had a brother?" I ask. Dad sighs once more. "Because... Fire you need to know that there are things that I've done that I'm not proud of. The things I've done have hurt the people I've tried to protect. I hurt my brother and I was ashamed of that. I just couldn't face that." Dad whispers. "Oh dad. Your a good mech now. You've changed. Let your past go. Please for me." I say. Dad sighs and gives me a smile. He gently strokes my back before sitting up. He picks me up and ratchet tells us to get out. Dad walks out and to the garage. Where we see prowl waiting for us. He looks up and dad sighs turning his head away. "Dad it's ok." I say. Dad meets my eyes. I smile seeing his eyes were blue. "Dad your eyes." I say. I get out my mirror and show dad. He gasps softly reaching up and touching his cheek. He swallows. "You look good with blue eyes dad. Like really good." I say. Dad smiles and pokes my side making me giggle. "Dad!" I laugh smacking his finger away. Dad smiles and laughs. "You really do look good dad." I say. Sad smiles and gently sets me down before looking at prowl. He sighs before transforming. I get into dad's alt mode and close his door. Dad then drives home. I get out and walk inside but dad freezes in his holoform. Dad?" I ask. I could hear a dark scary voice echoing through dad's comm.

It said: Were coming for her traitor. You cannot protect her. She will die because of you:

Dad gasps and pulls me close to his chest. "You will not touch her!" Dad yells ripping off his comm. he smashes it into pieces and hugs me incredibly tight. "Who was that dad?" I whimper. "Megatron."
