Iris:

"Don't breath."

"I'm not breathing." I snapped back at Wheeljack.

A week passed again on -without amything knew, and we both were hunting. Optimus let me hang out with Wheeljack only if I won't get into trouble.. gehee.

"There." He said and stood bit up. I looked to see a deer now on the opening. Our hiding place was a bush.. which was little narrow for both of us to fit in. He was the scariest, so I had bended down enough for him.

He swing out of the bush and towards the deer, which went for run. I growled and run after those two.

"Wait up!" I yelled, gaining my pace.

After I finally did, only left to be seen was when Wheeljack snaps the poor dear's neck, I almost hurled.

"Last time I do that-" I said in disgust and looked away. After Wheeljack got done, he grabbed me and throwed on his back, then grabbed the deer and got on his way towards our nest. "What's gotten into you?"

"It's not good to stay too long on ground." He warned, I rolled only my eyes quietly.

.. You are too hesitant!

We came back to the nest, I jumpind down by scretching my body. Optimus and Bumblebee had gone on patrol again and we were signed up to take care of nest.. piece of cake.

"I have an idea-" Miko grabbed my arm and dragged me to where Jack and Raf was. I just got back! "We will put this-" She took an alcohol bottle from her pocket, which we of course widened our eyes up. "And put it just little in Ratchet's meat."

"You do realize it's Ratchet, right?" I asked with raised eyebrow.

"He totally won't fell for that one." Jack said with sigh.

Miko only grinned.

~ Time skip ~

"He totally fell for it." I and Jack said at same time, our jaws dropping. We were shocked.

Ratchet only swallowed the meat and got to drink some water, we looked shocked after him and heard Miko's giggling.

"Fell for what?" Arcee asked and took another bite.

We brushed it off and I had to drink some alcohol, which I did with the meat.

"Hrr, strong!" I giggled and shook my head madly.

"What is that?" Optimus asked, always the curious one, but couldn't blame him.

"This-" I showed the bottle tight in front of him, feeling already bit drunked. "Is alcohol and strong shit!" I squealed.

"Language!" Jack yelled.

"We humans drink alcohol about age 16, and long way ahead for getting ourselves into condition which is fun! We usually drink for celebration or party.." Miko explained and took piece of her meat.

"I AM ABLE!" I had heart attack and tremped on my feet, falling on Optimus and looked at Ratchet who just woke up from his nap.. or did he just pass out? "Just ask Banton! He was all mandrel before I, put a tiger in his tank!" At that he again fell asleep, I bursted out laughing along with Miko and Jack.

"What's gotten into him?" Bulkhead asked, staring at their medic in shock.

"W-we put alcohol into his piece of meat and-" I couldn't hold the laughter and never ended my sentece.

"Is it dangerous?" Bumblebee asked.

"Hardly, Ratchet just had his first hop." Jacl reassured and drinked his alcohol.

I took another dose with giggles. Until I felt when Optimus grabbed the bottle with his tail and put it far away.

"Optimus-!"

"I think that's enough." He warned, I growled but with sigh layed down under his warm wing and protection.

~~|||~~

"Maybe it needs some orange.. give me that!" Miko yelled, I glared little by her ordering me around and gave her orange pencil. "No, give me black."

"Deside already!" I growled and gave her the black. She tried to draw somekind of 'Insignia' to the wall.

"Anything to report?" I glanced to see Arcee came back from her patrol and talked with Optimus.

"Cons are oddly heading to South, there is nothing." She stated, Optimus narrowed his eyes.

"Only the remains of our race.." Optimus growled. "Thank you Arcee." At that he walked towards Ratchet.

But I saw Arcee look after him. I grinned.

"So, you have crush?" I asked and jumped to sit on one rock, and leaned closer to her. She was caught off guard at this.

"W-what?"

"Knew it!" I squealed and jumped down. "Optimus! We're going for.. somewhere!" I pushed Arcee out with me and jumped on her back.

"Iris!" Arcee tried. Too late. We already were falling, causing her to growl and land safely on her paws. "What are you doing!?" She asked.

"Ouch! That's harsh!" I whined, she sighed.

".. Fine.." We looked up to see Optimus looking after us. Arcee spin to a run, I holding on for dear life.

~ Time skip ~

"As if! I know you have crush on him!" I yelled, my arms crossed as I was sitting on a rock beside the river.

"What if I have!? He's the leader Iris! There's no way he can-!"

"Leaders need love too you know!" I snapped back, shutting her down. "I know Optimus pretty well and yeah he keeps everything inside, but what do you think he looks then? From inside?" She frowned and looked at ground. "Exactly. Now man up and tell him!"

"I can't just go now and tell him! Are you nuts?" She asked, I sighed.

"I believe he needs somekind of distraction... You could be the one Arcee." I said, uncrossing my arms and putting them each side of me. She still looked bit hesitant. "I'll help you, I promise." I reassured. "You need time for two, correct?" She blushed bit.

"... If things get akward I'm not doing this." She warned, I laughed.

"Deal."

~~|||~~

It was night and I was eager. Optimus and Arcee had been gone for about 2 hours already.. wondering what they are doing!

"Yo, kid!" I turned around to see Wheeljack. "Want some?" He showed a meat piece.

"Sure." I got up. "As long as it's not poisoned." I warned and grabbed it, he chuckled softly.

"Optimus would totally kill me for that." He replied, I laughed and took a bite.

I heard heavy steps and air blow my hair, causing me to turn around and see my two love birds. They had smiles on their faces as they exhanged looks.

"Did it work!?" I asked with jump and jumped in front of them. Optimus raised his eyebrow at that. "I mean.. how's the patrol?" I asked nervously.

".. It went well." Optimus said and looked at Arcee, then nugded her side. "I believe more than that." He said with smile.

"You two.." Bulkhead started.

"Mates!?" Bumblebee squealed and jumped up. Optimus chuckled and nodded.

"Where's that bottle!? I need some boose-!" Just when I turned around, I felt myself being grabbed by my waist and raised up. Optimus brought me close to his face.

"I heard you were the one who encouraged Arcee to tell me." He said, I made innocent smile. "Thank you." He hugged me technically, which I after sometime returned.

"I'm just happy for you two." I stated with giggle. "But I still need that bottle." I warned.

"Young lady you're not getting it." I widened my eyes and turned to my right, seeing Ratchet throw the bottle off from the nest.

"Nooo!" Optimus let me down as I got to look when it disappeared. "Ratchet." I growled. I could feel everyone tense. "You're dead!" I run towards him with roar.

~~|||~~

"Ugh.." I opened my eyes, only to see a roof. "What?" I shook my body up and saw I was in my room. "Ou, yeah.."

Optimus had brought me for one night back to my room so that dad won't worry.. and I believe John aren't here anymore.. is he?

I looked my watch and gulped.

"No!" I jumped up and run to my closet. "Jeans, jeans, jeans!" I searched everywhere. "Aha!" I pulled black ones out and choose gray hoodie for the day.

I run stairs down and got everything ready, then run out.

Towards school.

~ Time skip ~

The ring ringed as the class ended. I sighed in relief and put my things into my back, then got up. I walked out of my class and saw Jack there waiting for me.

"Jeez you had Ms. Bucee's class, I had Mrs. Johnsson's." He said with sigh, I chuckled and we both went the stairs down.

"She's nicer.. Miko and Raf went already?" I asked, he nodded.

"Yeah, their school ended already two hours ago." He answered.

That was when I felt the whole school shook, no. The ground shook.

"Earthquake!?" One student yelled, I gulped.

"Earthquake!? Here ain't ones-" The wall cracked beside us, causing us to went running the stairs down.

We jumped them down and along with every student evacuated the school and felt the ground shaking still outside. I and Jack looked towards the direction, only to see it came close from the Autobots' nest.

"No.." I murmured, then saw a huge crack form almost beside us. We jumped away from it and looked down in shock.

Until both of us were suddenly scooped from ground, we tensed bit and looked up to see Ratchet.

"What's happening!?" Jack asked.

"No time! Where's Raf and Miko?" He asked.

"We'll get them! If someone sees you you're dead!" I warned, he nodded and flew on one house's roof and put us down. "Meet us at my house!" He nodded and flew off.

We jumped down from the roof and spin to run in different locations. I run towards Miko's house while Jack to Raf's. The ground shaking didn't help us at all. I turned a corner and saw already Miko's house. I got to the door and banged it, exhausted. Miko's granny opened slowly the door.

"Hey! Remember me? Iris. Look, I need Miko, where is she?" I asked quickly.

"Miko? She went for shop to buy something." She said with smile. I smiled back and nodded.

"Thanks! Stay inside!" I run towards the shop then.

I got to there and spin it right wide open. I saw Miko and run to her, grabbed her arm and dragged towards the door.

"Iris!?" She asked, I gave some money to the guard and he let us out. "What are you doing!?"

"Ratchet came to get us!" I yelled, she run then with her own feet. "I think our dragons are in trouble.."

"Shit!" She mumbled, we run faster.

My house could already be seen and Ratchet who had Jack and Raf then. He flew down, scooped both of us and spin to a fly. He helped us to his back and flew at full speed.

"Mind telling us the situation!?" Jack asked.

"Our team went to battle! I retrieved call from Optimus that I should get all of you.. I don't know else." Ratchet stated.

"Well that's nice.." Miko murmured.

We approached the nest pretty quickly, until a blast hit the side of Ratchet, causing Jack and Raf flew off of his back.

"Jack!"

"Raf!"

We yelled, looking after their fall. But we saw Knockout attack on Ratchet and bite his neck.. he almost bite us. Ratchet roared in pain and with his claws ripped his chest, but struggled to fly and hit the wall. That was when Miko and I flew off of his back.

"No!" Ratchet looked after us, we watched the falling coming ground.

But something scooped us and with it's claws got hold of the wall. We looked up to see injured and exhausted Bulkhead.

"Bulk!" Miko yelled, I sighed in relief.

He suddenly raised his gaze up and dodged a coming blast, he battled with a new dragon to me.. which had three heads.

"Muhaha! Humans!" He said with one head.

"Who is he!?" I asked, when Bulkhead went to fly and put us to his back.

"Just hold on!" He ordered, the three headed dragon flying after us.

"Get it-"

"We're already doing that!"

"Idiots.."

It sounded kind of fun when those three heads spoke up, each had own personality. Until Bulkhead's side hit another blaster, causing my grib from him got on the loose as I flew off of his back, but just in mere seconds managed to grab hold of his tail.

"Iris!" Miko yelled, getting bit up and came towards me. I started climbing it slowly up, but then started raining. My grib loosed, but I bite my teeth and got strenght again. I looked behind me to see the three headed dragon approaching. "Iris! Climb!"

Didn't have to tell me twicely as I did so. I had to dodge another blast, which caused my grib totally loose and my hands slide down on Bulkhead's tail. I just managed to grab his ball thing and holded on for there.

"Now you're mine." I looked behind me to see huge teeths reaching for me.

So close.

"IRIS!" I froze on my spot and stared in horror.

Until Optimus came out of nowhere and pushed the dragon away from me. The impact was so great that my grib loosed in the end as I went for fall. I saw Bulkhead got the three headed and Optimus catched me in thin air. I looked on our right to see 'Dreadwing' was on Optimus' tail.

He flew directly towards Optimus, who flew towards ground. Optimus put me to his back and started dodging the blasts from him.

"Hold on!" He ordered and made landing fly, I holded on for dear life.

"Optimus-!" He dodged a blast which went right beside us. "What's going on!?" I glanced behind at the dragon.

He didn't answer, in fact, grabbed me for some reason and throwed me away, I screamed once. But I felt myself being grabbed again and looked up to see familiar Wheeljack. Then I heard Optimus' roar of pain and turned to look at him. Dreadwing was on his throat and clawed his back, while Optimus bite his leg and with his claws tore his chest. They were crashing towards ground.

He.. throwed me to safety.

"OPTIMUS!" I yelled in horror.

"Get the children out of here, now!" Optimus ordered, then he disappeared into the trees with Dreadwing.

"Come on Iris!" I heard Jack's voice and felt when he pulled me on Wheeljack's back.

"Where's Miko?" Raf asked.

"W-with Bulkhead." I growled and looked around. "Where's that Mega-head.?"

"We need to go now." Wheeljack said and flew off, towards our nest.

"Jackie!" We looked on our right to see Bulkhead followed by the three headed again. "Catch!" He throwed Miko and grabbed the neck of the dragon.

Miko flew through the air towards us. I reached with Jack towards her and managed to grab her.

Then Wheeljack flew off.
