After school got out Sunburst had bumped into Ultra Magnus. Knocking each others stuff out from each other's servos.

"I guess I'll see you Monday morning?" Sunburst asked picking her datapads up along with his

"Yes. I shall see you Monday morning." Ultra Magnus said

The two then reached for the last two datapads that are stacked on top of each other not realizing that the other was as well. The two then touched servos. Sunburst's servo on the bottom, while Ultra Magnus' completely covered her servo with his own.

"I apologize." Ultra Magnus said removing his servo

"I should be the one apologizing. I hadn't realized that-. Ow!" Sunburst started to say but was zapped by the tips of his digits quickly bringing her servo to her faceplates to examine it

"Are you alright?" Ultra Magnus said putting his last datapad away

"Nothing seems to be damaged." Sunburst said putting her last datapad away

"I do apologize for-"

"Don't worry about it."

Sunburst and Ultra Magnus got up off the floor to leave the school. Neither had said another word to each other afterwards.

As time passed on Sunburst had decided for her second date to dress in a casual yet elegant outfit with flats. She brought a bag of clothes that included the hoodie U.M. let her use, a pair of sweats, comfy socks, and a crop top. She plans on giving the hoodie back.

Ultra Magnus decided to wear a pair of nice shoes, slacks, and a nice plain shirt with a hood. He knew that the location of the date wouldn't be too fancy.

The park wasn't that far from where Sunburst lived so she walked. Ultra Magnus had to drive since he lived farther away.

"I didn't quite expect to see you in such casual attire." S.b. said getting up off the bench

"The same could be said about you, but you have more elegance in your outfit than mine." U.M. said then asked, "What's in the bag?"

"Just a couple things I need when we get back to your place for the night."

"Here. Let me put it in my truck so you don't have to carry it around while we are here."

"Thank you."

The two then went on their way through the park. They were having the greatest of their time there. They decided to walk along the trail of crystal willows and blossoms.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" S.b. asked looking up at the night in awe

"Not as beautiful as you." U.M. stated intertwining their digits smiling

The two looked at each other. Wanting to kiss each other right then. But they knew they couldn't. Not until they knew who each other was.

"You don't even know what she even looks like with that ridiculous, stupid, and ugly mask on." A new voice said

"What are you doing here, Hethu." U.M. asked bringing S.b. behind him

"I'm here to claim what's rightfully mine."

"I don't belong to you or the others that you are with."

"She doesn't deserve you."

"No! You and the others don't deserve me! If any thing I don't deserve her!"

"Then walk away from whatever this is, and come back to me!"

"I think that's enough from out of you, Hethu." S.b. said walking out from behind U.M.

"How dare you?!"

"How dare I? You are the one who interrupted our date. I think it's very clear who should leave."

Hethu went to punch S.b. and damage her optic, but Hethu was the one with a damaged optic. S.b. didn't even give Hethu the chance to throw the punch half way.

"You glitch! I'll find out who you are, and when I do you'll pay for this." Hethu said covering her left optic, "You can't keep her safe forever."

Hethu then left.

"Are you alright?" U.M. asked grabbing the servo she used to punch Hethu to examine it

"I'm fine." S.b. said then put her other servo on his, "I doubt her pride is after getting a punch to her optic. I know for a fact as hard as I punched her; she ain't gonna see out of it for a good three groon."

"She does love her pride." U.M. said, "But your servo-"

"My servo will be fine. She took a lot more damage to her optic than I did to my servo."

"You're one tough femme."

"Thanks, but I do appreciate that you tried to defend me."

"You're welcome."

"Why don't we go to your place now? I'm kinda hungry. I didn't really eat anything before we got here."

"Of course. I can get my Carrier to take a look at your servo. It looks a little broken."

"I would appreciate that very much."

The two then made their way to U.M.'s truck. They both went to his place like last time.

"I do have to warn you that there's something new from the last time you were here." U.M. said grabbing the door handle

"Like what exactly?"

He then opened the door to let her inside. Only for her to get jumped on.

"Down, Maximal." U.M. said

Maximal started growling st S.b. then started to nudge her neckcables with his snout.

"Well aren't you adorable."

"He usually doesn't growl unless it's bots like Hethu that he's around. But from him growling to nudging you is quite strange. It's like he's met you before."

"Some just have a great memory from their past." S.b. said standing up

"I'm going to get my Carrier and something for you to eat."

"I already got her something to eat, son." Drake said coming out of the kitchen with a plate

"Thank you, Drake." S.b. said taking the plate

"You're welcome, deary." Drake said, "Why don't you get to birth? You have a long cycle tomorrow?"

"Your Sire's right. It's going to be a long cycle for you." Juna said walking downstairs

"Very well." U.M. said walking upstairs past her, "Can you take a look at her servo at least."

"What did she do to her servo?"

"Hethu tried to punch me, so I gave her a broken optic." S.b. said

"I didn't even see her move when she punched Hethu. She was that fast." U.M. said getting clothes out of his room

"Her pride is truly going to hurt come Monday when the school sees her." Drake said gleefully

"You sound to happy about that." Juna said examining S.b.'s left servo

S.b. then hissed in pain when Juna barely moved her digits.

"How much did that hurt?" Juna asked stopping her movements

"It hurts a lot." S.b. said wincing

"I'm afraid that you broke most of your steel cartilage in your servo, and forearm" Juna said

"That's great. My Creators are going to kill me when they find out." S.b. groaned petting Maximal's helm

"I'll talk with your Creators come morning, but for now we're going to get this wrapped to the best of my abilities and supplies of getting it not to move throughout the night until you can properly get it examined." Juna said getting the supplies from Drake who sat next to his mate

"You gonna be alright, kiddo?" Drake asked

"Hm? Yeah, I'll be fine."

"You sure? You can always talk with us."

"I know, but I can't talk with y'all since your son is here."

"Why can't you? We know who you are even before you two started seeing each other."

"I can't say why but I have the feeling that U.M. doesn't even know who I am, yet I know who he is for multiple reasons as to why I figured it out so quickly. Especially since it's only our second date."

"It's ok to have figured it out that quickly. I did the same thing when Juna and I did it all those stellar-cycles ago."

"Really?"

"If my son is anything like myself at his age; he won't figure out it's you until about your tenth date." Juna said, "There. That should do until morning."

"Thank you. Both of you."

Bark

"Thank you as well, Max."

"You're lucky he didn't give you away." Drake said

"Lucky me." S.b. said, "Try not to blow my cover when I'm in this mask for now on, Max."

"After you eat head on to birth." Drake said patting her shoulderplate gently heading to birth himself, "Goodnight you two."

"Goodnight, Drake." The two said

"You can take your mask off. Once he hits the birth after a long cycle he's out like a bitlet." Juna said noticing her hesitation on taking her mask off or not

"Thank you. For everything." Sunburst said taking her mask off

"Your welcome. I will always be somewhere you can find me."

"I know exactly what you mean."

After Sunburst got done eating her sandwich and talking with Juna for awhile until she started to get tired.

"I'll help you to his room. Come on, Max."

The two and Max then made it to his room where her bag was.

"Let me help you get changed." Juna said

"Ok."

Juna opened her bag to get her clothes out. She then saw her son's black hoodie.

"You were going to give this back? Weren't you?" Juna said holding the hoodie

"That was the plan." Sunburst said shrugging

"He never let any of his ex's wear any of his stuff. If he let you wear it; let alone hold on to this for an entire breem he feels a real genuine connection with you."

"Seriously? I knew he cared for his stuff that much, but to never let them wear one of his hoodies?"

"Hethu was the last femme he ever dated in over a stellar-cycle. I'm not surprised she hasn't moved on. She's not the first to still not move on."

"Can we talk more tomorrow? I'm really tired." Sunburst said sitting down on the birth

"Of course. I hope you recharge well." Juna said shutting the light off, "Make sure she stays safe and comfortable throughout the night, Maximal."

Bark

"I'm surprised you're not laying in the birth with him." Sunburst said laying down

Maximal just looked at her confused. Sunburst giggled in response.

"Come on. He can kiss my aft if you're not supposed to be on his birth."

Maximal then jumped on the birth and laid right next to Sunburst with his helm on her tank.
