Your Pov
Your razor sharp twin katanas slice clear through the tree in front of you as the other Autobots work on clearing a space.
The others had decided to start a large fire in Denny's scrap yard, and you were given the task of getting enough wood.

The fire is going to be Cybertronian size, so Denny and Russel can't do anything to help other than point out large rocks to make a barrier around the fire.
So there you are. In the woods with your best friend, while Grimlock, Bumblebee, Drift, the minicons and Strongarm clear an area.

"I think that's enough Y/n."
Sideswipe startles you as he drops from the tree you were about to cut down next.
"Primus Sides! Don't do that!" You smack him upside the helm lightly and he pulls away with a yelp.

"What did I do?"
Instead of answering the bright red bot, you gather the cut wood on the platform.
"Help me get this back to the scrap yard Sides." You lift one end, and while still rubbing his helm, Sideswipe lifts the other to help you.

In no time at all, the two of you are back at the scrap yard and are dumping the cut wood in the already big pile.
"This wood pile is bigger than our house!" Russel exclaims as he and Denny try to push the wood into a more organised pile.

Drift and his minicons start taking wood from the pile and organizing it in the large rock-lined circle in the cleared out space in the yard.

With a sigh, you collapse to the ground and tune your radio to listen to music while waiting.
Sideswipe drops down beside you with an exaggerated groan and lays his helm on your legs.
"I'm beat!"

You shove him off with the intention to come up with a sarcastic reply when a song you reconise comes on a radio.
The first song you heard when you arrived on earth.

"Hey is that the song Warriors by the group of human singers who call themselves Imagine Dragons?" Sideswipe perks up at the song and he moves to sit behind you, leaning against your back.

With a sigh, you don't move away from him, instead, turning up the music on your radio.
Sideswipe hums along to the music surprisingly quietly while tapping his digits on his leg, but before you can tell him to stop, the song is over.

Switching off your radio, the two of you sit in silence as you watch the other bots and the humans finish the intricate design of the wood tower in the fire pit.

You lean back against your best friend with a sigh and allow the natural heat of his chassis warm you as the one sun of earth sets behind you.
"Hey Y/-" "Y/n!" Sideswipe is cut off as Russel runs over to us.
"We need you to do something! Dad's girlfriend (just pretend for the sake of the story) is coming over and dad wants to propose! Can you distract her until we're all done setting up?"

Your optics widen in surprise.
Denny is going to ask her to be his sparkmate?! "Of course I'll help!"

Third person view
The f/c femme jumped up and without her realising it, Sideswipe had started to move to grab her servo, but was too late and she was already halfway across the clearing with Russel on her shoulder as he told her what had to be done.

With a sigh, Sideswipe stands up and beckons over Slipstream and Jetstorm.
"Hey guys, can you help me with something?"

Your Pov
As you and Dallas (name of Denny's soon to be fiancée) sit on a large rock overlooking a beautiful lake in the woods, you start to feel as though someone is watching you.

Dallas changes the subject to medical related jobs close by, and without her noticing, you manage to scan the surrounding trees with your optics to check for any dangers.
