Lennox and Epps stared at Sarah after I had finished monologuing. She sighed and rubbed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's been a very rough week. Not to mention I'm stressed as hell." She says.

"Well...we understand. And here's a question, how did you do all of what you just mentioned?" Lennox asked the young girl.

She looked to them, "Uh, you'd have to be more specific. You mean how I got to the places and did it? Or do what I just described?"

"Yes." Epps said.

Sarah snickered, "Okay, well these gems each took me and my friends to another world where another gem lay. As for doing what I've done, some of these weren't easy to find. Like the yellow, orange, and Red ones were the hardest to find. Yellow was inside a huge mansion where people were bidding for dinosaurs, Orange was at the bottom of the ocean and I had to go scuba diving with Megalodons. Surprisingly no troubles with the sharks, thank goodness. And Red was first in a government building, but was then on an alien ship where I encountered my younger self who had it. Needless to say, it was hard but very rewarding." She said with a smile.

"Wow, and here I was thinking you were usually the quiet and shy one." Lennox said.

"Well, I usually am. But this week was the most fun I've ever had in my life-"

Suddenly her dog started kissing Sky again, causing her to yelp and start laughing. The 2 soldier smiled at the young dogs actions towards her loving owner. The young girl pet her dog very lovingly and cuddled her. Blue and her sisters had then entered the mess hall, noticing the small black lab at Sarah's side. The lead raptor growled and approached from behind them, the canine noticing the oncoming dinosaur and began barking. Sky turned her head to see Blue in a defensive position, eyeing her dog.

"Whoa Blue! No! This is my dog! She's not food!" She held up her hand.

Blue squawked and tilted her head, confused.

"She's my pet, I've had her for years. Calm down there, Blue. And as for you lil girl, Blue and her sisters are my friends too." She said to the puppy.

The dog ceased growling as her owner pet her, Blue then eased and slowly approached while her sisters did as well. The raptor then started sniffing the dog with much curiosity, as Lulu did in return. Both seemed very curious around the other. Lennox and Epps stared at the two animals sniffing each other.

"This seems to be going well, how can you speak to them like that?" Epps asked.

"It's just something I've always been able to do." She stood and left the mess hall with her dog in her arms, the raptors following after her.

I had returned to Ratchets medbay, where both him and Nex were discussing something. Both of them noticed my presence and looked down at me.

"Can we assist you?" Ratchet asked.

"Yes actually. I was wondering if you could help me with my STAR Program." I say.

"You mean this?" Nex held up the drive where I had put STAR onto.

"Uh, yeah. How did you-" I began.

"It was not too difficult to find, I have been upgrading your amateur program since yesterday." The grey mech squinted.

Well thanks Nex. As I've said before I'm not the best with creating technology as I'm easily overwhelmed, but STAR was my first ever creation. Despite what this mech says, I'm quite proud of my program.

"Well, what have you been able to do with it?" I ask.

"It is now compatible with Cybertronian technology, now other Cybertronians are able to download it." Ratchet said.

"Yes! Because I think I got a plan that could possibly work." I say.

Hours had passed and the young female Predacon wandered through the halls of the military base, she was walking when she noticed Ironhide talking to Crosshairs and Elita One with his back to her. The 2 Autobots noticed the oncoming femme and simply walked away as Ironhide turned around to see Springlock.

"Ironhide, can I talk to you for a moment?" She asked.

"That depends on what you desire to discuss." The black mech crossed his arms.

"Why are you so distant from me ever since I became Cybertronian? You used to let me watch you and the others train, now you treat me like an enemy and won't even speak to me." Springlock said.

Ironhide was silent as he only listened to her speak, his optics wandered towards her Predacon symbol then back to her. But she had caught his eye.

"Is it because of the SYMBOL I wear? Ironhide, just because I don't have an Autobot symbol DOESN'T mean that I'm not on your side. Yeah I'm a Predacon, but you know what? I'll stick to the Autobot cause until my last dying breath. Even though I'm a conservative, I don't judge anybody for their interests, looks, or even beliefs. Because to each their own, and it's not my place to tell them what they can or can't do." The young Predacon explained.

"I've had experiences with those who claim to be Autobots, then they only turn out to stab you in the back." Ironhide said venomously.

"But I'm not like that! Whether I'm human or Predacon, I'm still that friend who you can talk to, tease, mess around, maybe even cause a little entropy with. I'm still me, Ironhide. I chose Predacon because it best fit my personality. Docile until someone push the wrong buttons, that is when the teeth and claws come out. Optimus wouldn't judge me because I have a different symbol, neither would Bumblebee." The young femme sighed walked off.

The black mech just stood there, processing what she had just said.
