(TFP starcee) The Point of No Return

A Drive Through Pick Up

Optimus and the sparklings soon entered inside the main room where Arcee, Starscream, bee, and ratchet were. Wheeljack had left them a few months after when he got his ship from the cons, seeing as how he wasn't really needed right now and plus has been itching to go out exploring around earth again, as long as he doesn't go out looking for trouble with the cons he is fine to be free out into the world until it is time for him to be needed again.
"Good morning Optimus did you have a late night, because normally your the one who always wakes up early before all of us do" Starscream asked as he stood beside ratchet, for the couple of days now Starscream and ratchet have been working together on a new project that will enhance their tracking systems as they still couldn't find any trace of shockwave and the predacon anywhere on their satellite maps. Even Megatron and his team were having problems trying to find their comrades by hacking into the earths computer systems, even after six months of unanswered questions, there is just one question still doesn't make any sense because shockwave would never just up and vanish like this with out a reason and with his predacon too. Something just didn't add up right?
And also as an added bonus and perfect timing, after when the autobots got back to their base after meeting up with the decepticons an hour ago, special agent fowler came in for a check up and was told about how the autobots and the decepticons were no longer fighting against one other anymore and are now working together, fowler nearly soiled himself and was forbidden to tell his superiors about this arrangement, knowing that they wouldn't believe him anyway but still he had pretend that the decepticons were still a threat just so it wouldn't complicate things back at fowler's base. The cons will forever be the common enemy of earth and the autobots 'til the day when dooms day finally arrives.

"Yes I did have a late night because of restless recharged, but at least I was woken up by these two little trouble makers" Optimus smiled lightly then placed the sparklings on the floor. They giggled and ran over to their carrier.
"Hey Carrier can we go and wake up uncle bulky and smokes please?!" Quicksilver pleaded with his sister and Arcee nodded.
"Sure why not, they both need to wake anyway" Arcee replied and watched as her children cried out happily and ran back through the hall way. "Well at least we don't have to worry about getting alarm clocks anymore with those two waking up at dawn everyday" she chuckled to herself and looked up towards Optimus.
"Has there been any new information from agent fowler in regards to any suspicious behaviour coming from their foreign countries?" The red and blue mech asked wile folding his arms together and stared up at the screen.
"No there hasn't been, *sigh* it just doesn't make any sense, how can shockwave of all bots could've been kidnapped" she said with an irritated tone.
"I agree, he is one of the most strongest decepticons that I have ever encountered, and yet he somehow disappears with out a trace" Starscream exclaimed as he walked up behind Arcee then wraps his arms around her small waist. She just rolled her optics and leans back into him. "He must have been taken by humans, it's the only logical explanation we have at the moment"
"Did you just?..."Arcee looked up at her mate with a raised optic ridge.
"Yes, yes I did just say that" he smirked with a purred and leaned in more to kiss her left cheek, she sighed and rolled her blue optics again.
"Your the worst" she grumbled playfully.
"I know" he teased but then was interrupted by Optimus loudly clearing his throat, making the couple look up him immediately.
"Starscream is right, there is no other reason why shockwave would be missing along with his predacon" he said and then heard laughing coming from the hallway, they all turned around and saw their sleepy comrades groggily making their way into the room with the kids leading the way with proud smirks on their faces.
"Ugh, do we really need to wake up this early, it's Saturday" smokescreen yawned then scratched the back seat f his helm, Arcee then shot up as she just then remembered that she needed to go pick up Jack for work.
"Oh scrap I better go Hun, Jack will probably be waiting for me" Arcee pulled herself away from Starscream after giving him a kiss and headed off towards the exit. Both of her children chased after her.
"See ya later carrier!" Angel called out while waving her arm in the air.
"Hey Carrier can I come with you?!" Silver asked and their mother knealt down in front of them and placed her servos on their shoulders plates.
"Maybe next time quicksilver, but until then you both need to properly learn to master your alt forms and when you do you both will be able go on missions with us ok" she said then gave them hugs and kisses on their forehelms then turned around and transformed, leaving a smokey trail behind her as she sped off into the new day.
Thirty minutes had passed and Arcee had returned back to base, most of the day was spent teaching her children how to fight and to transform with Starscream help while Optimus, bulkhead, smokey and bumblebee all went out to find new energon mines that didn't have any cons in it. It felt a bit strange by not having to worry about any decepticon ambush while they mined for energon, but over time it has been growing more difficult to find un-minded caves nowadays, considering how much the both sides have taken most of it through out all of these years, hopefully more shall appear some where soon.....or else all of them will slowly perish over time.
