TFP Star Season 2

Talk (after the Grill)

Optimus was returning from the military base back to Omega one since agent Fowler asked him to come, to let his boss know that he was okay.

"So, how it went?" asked Elena, who was on the couch.

"Everything is clear now," said Optimus.

"Oh good..." she said. "I wouldn't stand it to explain all that without losing my temper."

"Stars know to hold their mouth in such important meeting," said SweetStar who was in Star Computer at moment.

"Well, maybe I'm not that much ready," said Elena.

"And yet your element power seems to grow," said Ratchet.

"What?"

"You didn't tell her?" asked Ratchet.

"I'm still taking exams, Doctor," said SweetStar.

"Is that's why you're picking on me and asked many things from June?" asked Elena.

"Yep., " said SweetStar. "It hard to say what your element power is. It has been changing all the time."

"It's that bad?" asked Elena.

"No. The only reasonable explanation is that is still deciding what element it should be."

"Sound reasonable to me," said Ratchet before went back to his work.

Then others came with the kids. Jack, Miko, and Raf went to Elena. Miko wanted to try way to get her up and if she could show some dance moves to finally see her dancing.

"No," said Elena.

"Come on. Everyone else has seen you dancing."

"Not me," said Bulkhead.

"Not interested," said Ratchet.

"Okay, almost everyone," said Miko.

"You know teaching some moves isn't same then dancing front of the audience," said SweetStar.

"What makes me some dance teacher?" asked Elena.

"Either that or I'll show some videos," said SweetStar.

"You wouldn't dare?" said Elena while getting up. SweetStar was going to press the button before Elena groaned and accept to show some of her moves, but only that. She started to take kids to the room where she always was dancing. She even let Bulkhead come along to watch so, he won't miss must and won't need to feel bad. Others remained there before they left.

"That was bit cruel move, Sweet," said Arcee.

"Well, better me than Miko. She might have begged it all day," said SweetStar.

"(What was in those videos?)" asked Bumblebee.

"Oh, some of my favorites of her dancing," said SweetStar smiling.

A few hours later everyone was in their stuff. Well, most of them. Optimus was at his desk with few paperwork and reports of Elena's medical exams. What SweetStar had told about element power, sound logical, but then there was another thing. When Elena was near the Forge of Solus Prime, the way she acted, what she saw. Did she really get some sort of message from someone superior? Would that be something of Stars? As a Prime, Optimus is aware some of things Stars can do. Stars and Prime always worked to together. So, they knew all about each other. But there always were certain things they keep among themselves. Like Matrix of leadership and how to choose next Star Supreme. If Elena would have that vision again, he would know who was it that tried to make contact with her.

His thoughts were interrupted when someone knocks the door. Optimus left his desk to open the door and find Arcee behind it.

"You asked me to come," she said.

"Yes. Come in," he said while letting her inside. Then they just stood there.

"What you wanted to talk about?" she asked.

"About what happened couple weeks ago," said Optimus. Arcee looked down. He was referring Airachnid. After A couple of days of the encounter of Insecticon, Arcee went after Airachnid, alone. Elena followed her because she knew she will get herself in danger. In the end, Elena was one who got good beat up, Bumblebee had to rest for a day and Optimus needed five cubes of energon for losing it in battle. Arcee got some scars, in her armor and in her spark.

"I never asked her to come," she said.

"I know you didn't," said Optimus and used one finger to make her look at him. "But she also cares about you."

"But that doesn't change anything," she said and closed her eyes. She couldn't look at his optics. "Airachnid won't stop until she gets what she wants."

"And what would she want?" asked Optimus. That was a good question. Arcee all could think of few things, but it was hard to say in which order. She for sure wanted revenge on Megatron, hurt her many ways as possible before killing her, cause danger to humanity, hurt for Autobots. Well, that's far she can get, actually.

Then she suddenly felt something on her lips. She opened her eyes to find Optimus kissing her. It wasn't any passionate if not just sweet and caring. Then he broke it.

"Let me put it this way, If you kill her, what would that prove?" he asked. Arcee wasn't sure if she wanted to answer that. To be honest, after what happened a couple of weeks ago she has started to ask herself the same.

"I don't know..." she whispered. She wasn't sure was it for herself or Optimus. Optimus had noticed she has started to doubt herself about it. So, to comfort her he kissed her again. Once more sweet and caring.

"I know, you wish to stop her," he said. "But when that time comes, I only wish you choose the right way," he said before he moved his hand to her face. In this she puts hers to it, so he won't let go. She loved how he touched her. To think those hand could kill a group of Decepticons and yet they are so caring. She enjoyed his touch by closing her optics. That made her looked more beautiful.

This made Optimus kiss her again and she kissed back.

"AWW!" heard from the door. They stopped kissing and find SweetStar on the door. "That is just so cute," she said.

"Sweet!" said Arcee, who probably would take her blades out anytime soon.

"What?" she said before someone picked her up. It was Ratchet.

"I knew she would be here," he said and about to go before he came to say something. "But you do know kids, are still here, so could you leave that after they have left."

"Ratchet!" said Optimus.

"Just saying..." said Ratchet before he truly left.
