___________________________

We had just returned from a mission, retreaving another relic. I swear they just keep showing up and the decepticons just keep fighting harder to get them...I had 'foolishly risked my life' (As Ratchet put it) to get this one in particular. This left me with a gash in my left stabilizer.

The medic had lectured me the whole time he was bandaging my distressed leg and just recently stopped, which I am incredibly great full for. Don't get me wrong his concern for me is rather cute but when he gets into one of his rants I just want to tackle him. "Alright (y/n), you should be fine to walk on it but ONLY when absolutely necessary" Ratchet emphasized on the 'only when' part as he put his medical bandages away in their respectful place. I rolled my optics at his overprotective behavior, though I loved it. 'He does this with everyone (y/n) stop thinking your special' my mind spoke to me trying to state the obvious so I wouldn't have false hope.

This made me frown but I covered it up before he could notice "whatever you say doc, I'll be extra careful" I said a playful smirk resting on my features as I saw him groan before me at the name. "Don't call me doc! And I know for a fact that you won't listen to me, so I'll take the liberty of keeping you on bed rest for the remainder of the day" he spoke before walking to his computer a little ways from me in the room.

"What?! You can't be serious!" I whine trying to get him to change his mind only for him to give me an annoyed glance that quickly made me shut my intake. "I am very serious, now stay their and be quiet while I work!" He says, more so as a demand then a suggestion. I sighed knowing there was no way out of this.

~Small Time Skip~

It had been a good half an hour of nothing but silence. Ratchet was working on the relic trying to figure out what the purpose of it was and I watched him intently which he was surprisingly ok with, as long as I was quiet of course. He would actually allow me to watch him work anytime which was probably because I only sat their with interest and asked small questions here or there which he would grumble answers back. We've grown accustomed to each other's presence and I think that's one of the reasons I fell for the old bot. The only ones that knew about this was me and Wheeljack who actually caught on quickly and refuses to stop teasing me about it.

I was brought out of my daze from a high pitched beeping that came from the relic and Ratchet looked just as surprised as I was. "It's about to activate!" He yelled in a panic and ran to get as far away from it as possible but it was too late. A bright blue glow forced me to shield my optics and when it faded Ratchet was left no where in sight. "Ratch?- oh Primus..." I looked down in pure shock to see a sparkling, not just any sparkling but Ratchet. I internally panicked as his big blue optics looked up at me.

Oh Primus! What do I do?! Before I could react Optimus and the others ran in to see what the commotion was all about and they stopped in their tracks at the sight of Ratchet on the ground with wonder in his optics, servos reaching up at me to be picked up. I recoiled and backed away slowly. I did not like sparklings. They were just so...delicate...I was never a fan of the little bots perhaps it was because I was afraid to hurt them or something else, honestly I wasn't sure.

"What on Cybertron happened?!" Arcee chimed in and frantic beeps and whirls from bumblebee followed along with Optimus looking at me for answers. "He was tinkering with the relic and something happened! It turned him into a sparkling!" I yelled while the little Ratchet started crying, still wanting to be picked up. Optimus picked him up and was met with furious hits from Ratchets little servos but calmed down slightly when he saw Optimus's small smile. "It would seem as the relic has the ability to change ones physical and mental state, to a much younger Cybertronian" Optimus says to the team to try and organize the panic in the room.
