When Sunburst awoke the next morning she had awoken earlier than everybot else. She decided to stay in the birth with Maximal until she knew that Drake and U.M. left. She then got up out of the birth only to hear knocking on the door.

"Yes?" Sunburst said pulling the hood over her optics

"S.b.? I need some items from my room. I noticed that you left you're mask downstairs, so I figured that you might be up." U.M. stated

"What all do you need?"

"I need my uniform that is hanging on the door, my boots that are behind the door, and my tags on the dresser."

Sunburst grabbed all of the items he requested for her to grab, and opened the door with her helm low.

"Thank you for getting my stuff."

"Your welcome." She said, "I also brought back your hoodie, but I put it on since it's a little cold."

"I can see that." He said, "Why don't you keep it until otherwise?"

"Are you sure? I can give it to your Carrier when she drops me off at home."

"No, I insist upon it."

"Thank you. I'll see you around then."

After that U.M. and Drake left. Sunburst kept the hood over her optics just incase they were still there. She went downstairs after she made the birth. Maximal following her.

"They're not here if that's why your acting the way you are now." Juna said putting two plates down on the kitchen island

"I really appreciate you covering for me." Sunburst said taking the hood off

"Your welcome." Juna said sitting down, "Now, you wanted to speak about my son?"

"Well, yes and no." Sunburst said sitting down as well

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I want to know who he is, but I want to know if he will ever be happy."

"You want to know why you never see him smile."

"Yes. I fear that his past has something to do with the reason he never smiles."

"His past is the reason he never does smile."

"Do you mind telling me why?"

"He hasn't smiled since he was about thirteen. That's when he started to date others. He had so many femmes' that would just use him. Whether it be the money, toy with his spark, or use him because of his incoming title as the next Magnus.

If I'm going to be honest. Hethu is or was by far the worst out of them all. She had even dared to say she was bound to him. That she is to be the next Lady Magnus.

There is a difference between Lady Magnus and Madam Magnus. Lady Magnus is when a femme is bonded to the current Magnus. Madam Magnus is when the femme that is born into the family is to take the title.

You are the only one that meets the requirements to become the next Lady Magnus.

I believe that you could get him to smile. For him to truly smile once more."

"You really think I could do everything that you say?"

"Possibly even more than that."

"I wish I could say that I believe it, but I can't."

"You will in time. I'm absolutely certain that you will."

After that the two finished eating, and fed Maximal.

Juna then got a call saying she needed to come in earlier than she was originally planning on. She didn't want to leave Sunburst and Maximal.

"Do you want to come with me to The Elite Guard? Maximal has to be brought with since he can't be left here alone. I know that usually we would talk more until evening time, but something just came up."

"I would actually like that. I have really considered asking you if there would be any way I and possibly another one of my sisters could join."

"That would be wonderful."

The trio then left heading towards The Elite Guard. Juna really appreciated Sunburst being interested in joining The Guard. By the time they got to The Guard there was a big group of bots forming a circle around something.

"What's going on here?" Madam Magnus asked all of the bots

"Theresa?!" Sunburst questionably yelled

"Cadet Chromia!" Madam Magnus commanded, "End this fight right this instance!"

"Theresa, you know she's not worth it." Sunburst said pushing the two away from each other

"Madam Magnus, she's the one that came here, and attacked me first." Chromia stated

"I know when a bot is lying." Madam Magnus stated, "I know that you have lied to your sergeant quite a few times. Lied to your fellow cadets."

"Madam Magnus, she's done nothing but attack me from cycle one since I'm with a mech she is so madly in love with." Chromia said being held back by two different mechs

"That's a lie!" Theresa shouted struggling in her sister's grasp, "She has done nothing but harass me. She claims MY mech as hers when he's been with me for the past three stellar-cycles. You can even ask my sisters. One of them is right here. Tell them Sunburst. Please Sun."

"Sunburst? Is what your sister say is true? Or is Cadet Chromia?" Madam Magnus asked

"My sister. She's been with the same mech for as long as she has. It's Chromia that has been harassing my sister for quite a few breem now." Sunburst answered honestly letting go of her sister

"She's lying. You can't just-" Chromia started

"The only one that is lying is you Chromia." Ultra Magnus said walking up with another bot, "General Uros here has footage."

"It's true. Cadet Chromia is lying." General Uros said playing the footage

"You set me up." Chromia said

Chromia was so enraged she slipped out of the two mech's grips and went straight for Ultra Magnus and Theresa.

Everybot was in so much shock that they couldn't figure out what happened. They all snapped out of it when they saw a flash of red, orange, yellow and blue mixture slip by them.

"Don't you even dare lay a servo on either one of these bots." Sunburst said holding Chromia in both a arm and helm lock even with her bad arm

"Cadet Chromia." Madam Magnus said, "I am giving you one more chance to redeem yourself. If you fail I will have no other option but to send you away."

Chromia was then escorted to her housing.

"All of you are relieved of your training for the cycle. I want nothing like this to happen again." Madam Magnus ordered

"Cadet Ultra, General Uros, Sunburst, and Theresa come with me to my office." Madam Magnus said

The four followed Madam Magnus to her office.

"Lock the door. I don't want anybot interrupting." Madam Magnus ordered, "Here's a kit to help with your sister's wounds, Sunburst."

"Thank you." Sunburst said taking the kit starting to treat the wounds

"Why didn't either one of you two bother to stop the fight?" Madam Magnus asked then looked at Theresa, "Let alone you youngling."

"I didn't have a choice but to defend myself after she got the first three hits." Theresa winced, "She just came out of nowhere."

"I was speaking with General Uros in his office when we got word, Commander." Ultra Magnus said

"Why were you here, youngling?" Madam Magnus asked

"I was here to speak with you, Madam Magnus. I was being escorted by the Constable of Intelligence when he reported to General Uros." Theresa said then took the rag off her dermas, "I'm lucky enough with what I got."

"You are very lucky, but I assure you that this will not happen again."

"How the frag are you going to prevent this from happening again?" Theresa asked standing, "I am getting harassed at school, my job, the parks, shops, cities, even at home. She is doing everything she can to destroy me."

"I will have one of my highly trained officers be with you at all times, but they will keep their distance and only intervene when absolutely necessary."

"I don't need that!" Theresa yelled

"T! You need to sit and calm down. Not only for me to still treat your wounds, but so you will listen to me." Sunburst stated

"Whatever." Theresa grumbled

"She is ordering one of her soldiers to help prevent being harassed by Chromia."

"It also means a bot is keeping an optic on me everywhere I go."

"Yes, but they can intervene before it can happen."

After awhile of agreements, disputes and conversations; Madam Magnus decided to take Theresa home.

"I will be back later this evening." Madam Magnus said then asked, "Cadet? Would you give this femme a tour of our fine establishment?"

"I would not mind at all, ma'am." Ultra Magnus said

After that everybot went on their own way.

"It's good to see you again. Even if it isn't Monday, and at school." Sunburst said smiling

"I think we should talk while I give you a tour." Ultra Magnus said offering his servo

Sunburst hesitated on taking his servo, but took it any way. Ultra Magnus then lead her out into the hallway with his servo now barely touching her lower backstruts. He had only done so to make sure he was the last out of The Magnus' office.

"So, this is boot camp." Sunburst stated looking around while walking a little bit behind him

"Yes. It's a very important establishment for a lot of bots." Ultra Magnus said

"I know that this is kinda akward between us. I mean seeing each other on the weekend. Even after we said that we wouldn't. I just felt something was off and your Carrier didn't want to leave Maximal home by himself just yet."

"Maximal is here?"

"Yes. We left him with General Tempera. Don't worry I've known her my entire existence. She and Maximal seem to really enjoy each other's presence."

"General Tempera has been known to have her own secrets that others don't know about. I didn't expect for it to be a animal lover."

"Speaking of which." Sunburst said then started jogging forward, "Aunt Tempera."

General Tempera looked up from hearing her name be called, but not as a commanding officer.

"Well, I'll be. If it isn't my little ball of sun." Tempera said hugging her neice, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm getting a tour, and talking with a classmate."

"I hope you plan on joining. I know that there are a select few femmes here at The Guard." Tempera said, "It's good to see you Cadet Ultra."

"It's good to see you as well, General Tempera." Ultra Magnus said, "Maximal, come."

"I'll see you tomorrow, Aunt Tempera. I have to get home before sisters, and Creators start to worry." Sunburst said

After Tempera left and went on her way Ultra Magnus, Sunburst, and Maximal left The Guard.

The drive was longer than what Ultra Magnus thought because she lived on the otherside of Iacon.

"I didn't expect for you to live on the otherside of Iacon. Let alone near the park." Ultra Magnus said parking his truck on the curb

"My family and I have always enjoyed walks at the park together. It helps clear the processor when either one or all of us are frustrated by something. Or somebot." Sunburst said grabbing her bag

"Perhaps I could join you and your family some cycle?" Ultra Magnus asked

"I'll consider it. I know that you have it pretty rough with everything that is coming up in your future." Sunburst said walking with him to the door, "I will warn you that my family and a few of my sisters lovers are here."

"I was curious as to why there is so many vehicles." Ultra Magnus said then asked, "Is that one yours with the flames?"

"Yes. I done the custom flames and detailing myself."

"It looks good."

"I think it would be best if we get inside."

Sunburst opened the door to only be tackled by her Carrier.

"Carrier you can let go now. I'm starting to not get any air through my vents." Sunburst said

"I'm sorry. I was just so worried. Your usually home before noon after your date from the night before." Whitney said, "Who is this?"

"I do apologize if your daughter was late getting home, Miss." Ultra Magnus said

"It's Whitney, darlin'." Whitney said, "Nothing more unless I'm working at the hospital."

Crack

"What was that?" Anna asked hiding behind Ratchet

"Pay up, Amanda. I told you that it was going to storm." Brittany said

"Fine. A bets a bet." Amanda said handing her twenty credits

"There's no way I can go out in the storm to get back to the Elite Guard." Ultra Magnus groaned

"Why don't you contact your Creators to let them know that your here with my family and I while you are waiting out the storm? That way they know your safe and out of the storm." Sunburst said pushing him inside to shut the door

"Are you sure? I don't want to be intruding." Ultra Magnus said

"Nonsense. Our home is big enough for all of us to wait out the storm." Aaron said

"He's not wrong. My sister and I had to wait out a storm here before." Ratchet said giving comfort to Anna

"I appreciate it. Thank you." Ultra Magnus said, "May I?"

"Just make yourself at home, mech. They just want all of their guests to feel safe and comfortable." Ironhide said holding Theresa

Crack

"It's going to be a long storm, isn't it?" Ultra Magnus said looking out the window

"It's going to last until morning." Brittany said shrugging going upstairs

"Where will us mechs recharge at? Since we are your guests?"

"Our guest rooms are being remodeled. Ironhide and Ratchet usual stay in Theresa's and Anna's room." Sunburst said, "I know that you just meet my family and all, but you could recharge in my room."

"I don't want you to recharge on the couch."

"I have a pull out bed in my room she can recharge on." Amanda said giving him a skeptical look

"I do appreciate it, Amanda, but I was going to recharge in my hammock." Sunburst said pointing to the far corner of the living room
