Dusk and Dawn.... Book 1

Our story

He answered, while putting his long-lost daughter on the floor

"Her name was Elita One, she died about six or seven million earth years ago. I could do nothing as a Decepticon shot her in the chest; Elita died in my arms...." Dusk crossed her arms.

"I'm not six million years old... am I?" She asked.

Crosshairs interrupted "Didn't 'ya level a 'hole Decepticon base?" Ironhide glared at him.

"I did indeed Crosshairs." Answered Optimus "And yes, Dusk, you are roughly six million years old." Optimus stroked her precious helm with the backside of a digit; then stood. Dusk looked up toward Artorias.

"Brains told me you were gay; however, you don't seem gay to me." She stated. Her infectious smile forced Artorias to smile back.

He said "I thank you Dusk, for your kind words." The purple Autobot nodded.

                               ...

Once everyone went to work (only Artorias and Dusk were left jobless), they decided to explore the vast network of tunnels and chambers.

"So, do you like pokemon?" Dusk asked.

Artorias answered "I don't know.... what are... these pokemon you speak of?" The femme next to him blinked a couple of times.

"What... are.... pokemon..." she echoed "Are you serious?" Dusk stopped walking and put her hands on her hips.

"You need to 'catch up' on everything." She said "pun intended." Artorias knelt down to have a better conversation.

He asked "What do I need to catch up on?" Dusk smiled, her young optics glimmered with innocent delight.

"Everything..." she answered, her facepkate turned serious "Like.... I don't know...." Artorias lifted her up and put her on his shoulder, and began walking in a random direction.

"You know, I like you... very much." stated Artorias. Dusk crinkled her faceplate.

"That's gross." Said she "That is so gross you love me. Gross, gross, gross."

"Gross?" Echoed Artorias.

Dusk nodded "You're like my big brother... and you're probably thinking dirty..."

"I am not thinking dirty thoughts!" Artorias exclaimed "Besides, I do love you. I love you with all my spark and soul." Dusk jumped down from his shoulder.

"You're so immature!" She stormed off.
