War Brought Us Together

Chapter 24: Graduation Day Part 1

(Two years later)

Finally Graduation, I finally get to move into base and forever be with Optimus. I was so excited, me, Jack, and Wings are graduating, Miko has one year left, and poor Raf had two. Optimus and the rest  of the team are coming to the graduation. I was wearing a semi- formal dress, that was covered in floral prints and and Jean like design on the top, with a leather belt around my waist. I had the necklace that Optimus gave me, a pair of leather flats, and my hair in a loose bun. Over that I wore my cap and gown, that had that school colors on it.

(Thirty minutes til ceremony)

Me, Wings and Jack were talking, “So, who's nervous..?” Jack asked, All three of us nodded, I felt like I was going to faint, but just as I was going to admit it, my boyfriend, Optimus showed up with the rest of the team. I smiled, as he hopped out and he jogged over to me, pulling me close, and hugging me. “Optimus, you're here… I thought you wouldn't make it.” I said, he looked at me, his eyes full of love. “Of course, I would be here, I'm always here for you.” Optimus said, I then looked at everyone else. “So, whos going to the after party?” I asked, they all looked at me, then nodded, saying that they’re going.

(Graduation time)

“I have watched all of you grow up and accomplish many things. Now I see you leave as smart, talented, graduates. It is an honor to now say… Congratulations Graduates!” the principal said through the mic. Everyone clapped and congratulated us. “Optimus!” I said as I ran over to him, he smiled  his dorky smile as he lifted me up and spun around. “Now we can be together… forever.” Optimus said, I then looked over at Wings, then called out, “Your not staying for the after party?” she looked over at me, then walked over. “I not a huge fan of parties, so I’m going to take a drive.” wings said, as she started towards her vehicle. I then grabbed her shoulder and spun her around, “Nope, you're not going anywhere…” I said with a smirk.

(after graduation)

We were talking as others from our graduated class danced and enjoyed themselves, but just as I was going to go get something to drink, Optimus asked, “Jen, could I talk to you?” I looked at Optimus, and nodded. We walked to an area that no one would be, but when I looked at him, Optimus had a smirk on his face, and something didn’t seem right. He slowly moved closer, until I was against the lockers, I was scared, I knew that this was not Optimus, not the bot I loved. “Now… my queen…” He said, as he placed his hands on the lockers, keeping me from leaving, I stared into his eyes. What I saw was much different, there was a bit of an odd purple coloring to his eyes, right then in there I knew who it was… It was Megatron! I then kneed him in the stomach and ran off to the gym, Megatron quickly pulled himself together and ran after me. As I ran I could hear him yelling, “Jen...come back here!” I Kept running, Just as I was getting to the gym, I started yelling, “GUYS, Help me!” I ran past the gym, and continued yelling to get them to help me.

In the gym, Arcee and Wings heard the cry for help and started wondering where me and Optimus were, “Jen, she’s in trouble!” Wing said, then arcee looked at her, and nodded, “Lets go!” the two ran after me and Megatron. “Jen!” wings called and arcee also yelled out, “Jen were coming!” I heard them yell out my name, I kept running but as soon as I rounded a turn it was a dead end, and Megatron was right behind me. I turned around, gasping, at the sight of him, and just when I thought was caught, Wings rounded the corner and ramed Megatron into the lockers. “Jen,  what happened?!” she said urgently, helping me keep Megatron against the lockers. “This is not Optimus its…. Megatron!” I said, then Wing just froze and looked at me. “What?!” she yelled, I quickly nodded, and she went wide eyed. I then looked at Megatron, and Yelled, “ Where is Optimus?!” I stared at Megatron angrily, and all he did was laugh maliciously, I then slipped out my pocket knife, and handed it to wings. “We will not hesitate in killing you…” Wings said darkly, pressing the knife to his neck. I kept asking ‘where is Optimus?’ but then Arcee rounded the corner with a few others, bulk, and bee with her. “Jen, What are you doing?!” Arcee Yelled at us, I looked over and so did wings, Megatron started acting like he was helpless. Then Megatron whispered to me, “You wouldn’t want to harm your leader, and the one you love…?” I then backed off, and told Wings to do the same, I had to pretend, that I’m in love with him, and as we left the school I called Ratchet to send us a ground bridge. The ground bridge opened up in front of us and in seconds we were at base.

(That Night)

I was in my room, as was pretty much everyone else, but wings, she wanted to get after Megatron and kill him. I was asleep, but I could hear the faintest of callings, ‘Jen… jen…’ the voice whispered, I turned onto my left side in reaction to the voice. ‘Jen… please… I’m on the Nemesis, Megatron took me…’ I got a flash of Optimus, then energon and then I got the location of the Nemesis. Wings was in the main area, about to leave until Optimus (aka megatron) “Where are you off too?” he asked wings, she then whipped around trying to punch Megatron, but failed and with on swing, Wings was knocked out. She was dragged to my room and the big door opened, making me wake up, and I watched as he dropped Wings on the floor. Megatron looked over at me, “Go back to sleep my queen…” he whispered then he left. I was mad, ‘his queen… his QUEEN!’ I thought angrily, ‘I only belong with Optimus!’ but enough with the angered thoughts, I then got up and walked to wings, quickly. She groaned and pulled herself off the ground, “Ugh…  what happened, all I can remember was Optimus/Megatron punching me…?” Wings said, I looked at her, Saddened expresion, I learned that Megatron had taken Optimus to the war ship, and doing who knows what to him. “Megatron placed you in here, and also, I know where Optimus is!” i said a bit happily. Wings looked at me with the same expression on her faceplate, “Where?!”
