christmas special; the bots let loose under the spirit of christmas and experience the holiday season through both wizard's and muggles traditions

Arabella's family took in the kids and the bots inside and they hung their coats on the stool the coat stool came alive and bowed down for Raf to hang his coat as well. Optimus was startled when he saw the coat stool move.

" Dinner should be starting soon," Alison said, waving her wand as the kids and the bots watched in awe seeing the plates and silverware fly into place from the massive dining table. Everyone soon sat down, Fowler was soon talking to Orcus, catching up as Arabella and the others were talking to each other, patiently waiting for the meal.

As the Autobots talked to Arabella's family and took in the atmosphere of the room, they were startled when their food magically appeared before them. Their empty glasses quickly filled up with their drinks and stopped when they reached the top.

The bots nervously looked down at their plate of food, they never had the full experience of eating human food Ratchet mentioned that their holoform should convert the food into energy for the holoforms.

The kids started to dig in their food and Arabella noticed their hesitation, " You should try the roast beef Bulkhead " Arabella encouraged the wrecker which a couple of slice of beef and cooked vegetables appeared on his plate and the gravy boat poured the right amount on the meat. As the other's plates were filled up too.

Bulkhead was the first mech to take a bit of his food. He'd gotten the same meal as Miko. She smiled as she sat up, "What do you think, Bulkhead? Good, right?" She was brimming with excitement at her friend's reaction to human food.

Taking a bite of the roasted beef, he groaned as flavors he'd never tasted before ravaged his tongue. "I've never tasted anything like this in my whole life. Human food is amazing!"

Seeing Bulkhead's reaction, the rest of the Autobots dug in, helplessly drawn into the heavy aroma of the Christmas feast.

Ratchet cautiously took a bite from his steak and his face contorted. "By the Allspark." He tried to suppress a pleasant groan as the flavors from the steak made his mouth water. "This is far better than I thought."

Arabella glanced at Optimus and watched as he cautiously took a bite of the roast chicken. She grinned when his eyes widened, and a smile slowly etched its way onto his face, "How do you like it, Optimus?"

He glanced at her and nodded, "I have never tasted such flavors before. I cannot even describe it, but I must confess that humans are clearly masters of creating delicious substance." 

Jack drank the butterbeer from his glass and blissfully melted from the sweet, fizzy flavor and the warm foam that coated his lips. " This is pretty good, I wish I could drink this all the time. "

Arabella's mother smiled warmly at the sight of Arabella enjoying the meal, " I hope you have room for the mince pie " She waved her wand and a plate of fresh mince pies came floating down in the middle of the long table.

Each pie levitated towards everyone's plate, the steam wafting in the air, adding warmth to the house. " Thank you Mrs Scamander " Raf smiled as he took a bite of the pie, melting from the taste and warmth that spread throughout his body.

" You're welcome, hope you guys have room for desserts " Soon everyone was enjoying the Christmas feast as the atmosphere became lively. 

Arabella was talking to Ratchet about using magic for food. Arabella's parents were talking to Optimus and Fowler about any subject. Bee, Bulkhead, and Arcee were talking to their charges about what they do for Christmas.

The plates were cleaned up and desserts appeared magically, serving apple pies, treacle tarts, chocolate eclairs and jam doughnuts, trifle, strawberries, Jell-O, rice pudding, and especially pumpkin pasties which were Arabella's favorite.

The four kids, including Arabella, drooled over the desserts and began eating them, everyone else soon ate as well. Miko was stuffing her face from the jam doughnuts as Jack and Raf helped themselves to the cinnamon apple pie.

The five bots each took a bite of the desserts that they picked and bite in the sweet goodness. Ratchet took a bite of the treacle tart, and his eyes widened as he tasted the gooey filling made from treacle and the lemon zest. "Sweet~Primus! What is this!? It's mhm~so good." Ratchet savored the rich and delectable flavor of the tart, relishing every moment as it melted in his mouth.

He paused his eating when the bots were looking at Ratchet in amusement which made the medic cough and drink the butterbear to hide his embarrassment.

" It's my mum's homemade treacle tarts." Arabella smiled at their reactions to the sweets. Bumblebee melted when he had a bite of the jam doughnuts and spoke in a series of strange vowels and clicks telling Raf how he loved the doughnuts.

Optimus was watching Arabella eat her pumpkin pasties and he brought the treat to his mouth, he relished the savory scent of the cinnamon and pumpkin. Energon sweets had nothing compared to the human dessert that he was eating.

" This is ... delightful Arabella," Optimus said, as he softly smiled which Arabella returned the smile as well. 

Soon the plates were cleaned, Bulkhead leaned against his seat as he patted his stomach, " Human food is the best, I wish Cybertron could have food like this "

Arabella's mother waved her wand which the plates were being floated back to the sink to be cleaned, " I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the food "

" We should go outside and enjoy the snow " Miko suggested and Raf became excited at the idea. Soon everyone put on their winter clothes and they were led outside to the cold Winterland.

Since it was winter, the lake had already been frozen which let out dazzling dust shimmering under the harsh winter sun. The shiny frozen lake gleamed like a diamond and the bots admired the lake's ethereal beauty.

Their thoughts were cut off when a snowball hit Jack's face, everyone slowly turned around to find Miko sheepishly smiling, seeing her gloved hand covered in snow before she pointed towards Raf.

The poor boy only looked at her with a deadpan look.

" Oh, it's on " Jack gathered a huge snowball and ran towards Miko. Bulkhead chuckled until he felt something cold hit the back of his neck. He turned to find Bee smirking as Bulkhead huffed as he gathered a snowball that was bigger than his head.

Bumblebee looked panicked at the huge mass of snow in the wrecker's hand. Bulkhead threw with all his might but Bumblebee used his skills to dodge it but unfortunately hit Arcee instead.

The blue and pink hair femme eyes twitched as she slowly but menacingly turned to the culprits, " You two done it "

It became a war.

Ratchet and Optimus watched from the sidelines as the snowball chaos continued. The medic couldn't believe seeing the Autobots having a snowball fight, usually, they were fighting the Decepticons but now they looked like they were having the time of their lives.

Ratchet didn't mind this, having a moment of peace where they didn't have to worry about the war or the Decepticons. Even though it's a brief moment, this was probably a memory they would cherish in their life.

As Ratchet was thinking, Arabella snuck behind him and threw a snowball at his back. Ratchet yelps as he turns around to find Arabella cheekily smiling at him which he scoffs, " I'm not joining " he bluntly says but his confidence slowly wavers when the others look at him, pressuring him to join. He grumbles but smirks when he throws a snowball at her.

Soon the two were engaged in a snowball battle as Optimus moved aside, happy his Autobots were having fun.

Soon the snow fun ended as the evening was coming, everyone headed inside the warmth of the house. Arabella grabbed all of the fluffy blankets in the house and gave them to each of them. 

" Did you enjoy the snow, Ratchet?" she asked as the medic nodded. " I guess it was fine " as he was warming his hand by the fire. She noticed how everyone was huddled near the fire. Jack, Miko, and Raf were on the carpet as Bulkhead and Bee were on the lounge and Arcee was sitting on a single lounge chair.

Arabella noticed someone was missing which she noticed a figure standing outside.

She was surprised to see Optimus still outside in the snow, astonished by the cold environment before him. She grabbed her chestnut color snow boots and went outside to join his company, no words were exchanged as they soaked in the sight of the land covered under a blanket of snow.

What she didn't realize was that while she was admiring the sight, Optimus subtly glanced at her, taking a closer view of her facial features. Her chestnut hair contrasted with her soft, translucent, and glowing skin tone. Her round, brown eyes held warmth and innocence within them. He slowly looked down at her dainty, heart-shaped lips which were in a lush shade of coral pink as her cheeks flushed a rosy color from the cold.

" Optimus, Arabella, what are you guys doing outside?" Jack walked up to them, rubbing his arms from the cold. " It's freezing" he shuttered. Arabella chuckles as Optimus makes a small smile. She looked up at the sky and noticed that it had darkened, the sun sinking down towards the horizon. "Let's head back inside now, it can get pretty cold during the night" she chimed while Jack and Optimus followed her inside the warmth of the house.

Arabella's mother made a variety of hot beverages, and Orcus helped carry the trays and handed out the drinks. Miko, Raf, Jack, and Bee were enjoying a cup of hot chocolate. Ratchet poured himself, Bulkhead, and Arcee a cup of coffee. Arabella and Optimus were drinking his cup of black tea.

She was enjoying her hot cup of tea with Optimus as everyone was watching Raf and Ratched playing wizards chess, the game of tactics and magic, which Orcus recommended to everyone play.

Everyone was in disbelief seeing the chess pieces come to life the players had to tell the pieces what to do.

Ratchet was thinking before finally figuring out his next move, " Knight to E5 " which the piece moved to it's position. Raf hummed before smiling, " Queen to E5 "Raf's piece moved in front of the king as everyone watched the queen piece come alive and whack the king into pieces.

Jack grimaced, " Isn't that a bit violent for chess "

" It's wizard chess Jack " Arabella shrugged as if it was the most normal game in the world. Soon everyone got into the spirit of Christmas which everyone was having fun playing wizard crackers that sounded like gunshots when pulled and were filled with real-sized hats, wizard chess sets, live mice, and jokes.

After a meal of turkey sandwiches, crumpets, trifle, and Christmas cake, everyone felt too full and sleepy to do much. Arabella's parents summoned a couple of mattresses, pillows, and blankets for everyone to sleep, luckily the living room was large enough.

The soft melody from the wireless, a magic radio that everyone was snoozing off. Miko's head was resting on Jack's head as Bumblebee was sleeping next to Raf. Arcee was on the single mattress as Bulkhead and Ratchet took the two large couches.

That left Arabella and Optimus sleeping next to each other but as everyone was sleeping, Arabella's mother was checking in when she softly smiled at the sight in front of her.

Optimus was spooning Arabella as Rachet's arms were hanging off the couch but was holding her hand. It was a magical Christmas that the Autobots would never forget and hope they have many more to celebrate with their charges and a special Scamander witch.
