Let's end the year the right way, with some galaxy eyed Autobots ;)

"I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky."

The crisp blue hues of the Pacific brightened the horizon ahead as the Western edge of America beckoned them ever nearer. To what would be the end of the road - quite literally.
All the while since crossing the border into California, Optimus had been sending out a transmission through what he described to Venus as a 'comm link'. A simple message to his comrade that repeated over and over through the radio and broadcasted across miles of radius.
"B-127, I pray this message finds you."
"We are here. We are coming!"
Venus of course had noted the warming use of "we". That her Prime wanted B-127 to know of her participation. And Elton's too it implied.
As agreed, once the planet Venus itself had risen with the breaking dawn, the trio had gotten on their way with mutual reluctance to part touch.
Just before departure was when Optimus had surprised her with a gift.
He had brought it out from a secret compartment in his chest to present it to her. At her touch it had shrunken to fit in the palm of her hand, jewel like gold reflecting as a twinkle in her surprised eyes. Upon the smooth case engraved was the symbol of his people, the Autobots, with the backdrop of a eight point star that his own body insignias did not possess. Protected by said shell a backdrop of infinite night sky so realistic it was like she could pluck the stars from it if she so desired. The stars navigated by a single golden needle attached at the centre.
A compass, Venus recognised it as. Possibly the most enchanting compass ever crafted.
She had queried curiously as to why Optimus had bestowed such an immaculate item to her.
His answer had been oddly elusive, but his imploring tone implied that there was more to the gesture that met the eye.
"My gift of gratitude to you, for all you have done for me. Though I ask that you are never without it. Keep it with you Venus, always."
The valued gift sat in her palm as its new owner gazed out of the window to watch the passing trees, able to enjoy the scenery passing by now that she no longer needed to consult the maps. The signs that had recently come into proximity directing them to Brighton Falls had elated the mood in the cab and it vibrated off not just Venus, but Optimus too.
That was until Optimus suddenly told her to brace, and before she could even begin to feel puzzled or question him, the seatbelt flew around her waist and chest, pinning her against the back of the seat with no hope of moving.
His speed shot to the hundreds impossibly, forcing Venus' stomach into nauseating somersaults at the drastic U-Turn Optimus achieved in bare seconds, screeches half deafening the poor passengers from the friction of his tyres skidding painfully against the road.
"Optimus what are you doing?!" The slightly sickly blonde shrieked, hands gripping the seatbelt in an attempt of easing the shock. And quickly stuffing the compass safely into her shorts pocket. Bringing her knees to her chest in instinctive panic, she managed to steady her uneasy vision to learn they were now heading away from the signs leading them to Brighton Falls.
