"So you're wondering what happened afterwards. Optimus was able to convince the army that Opie was an orphan and that they saved him and took them with them to Earth. A few years later, Optimus would go to Cybertron, leaving the Autobots back on Earth. They would eventually face him again but as Nemesis Prime due to Quintessa manipulating him. Bumblebee was able to get him out of that trance and save him. Together, the rest of the Autobots face Quintessa and defeat her, along with them deciding to leave Earth to rebuild Cybertron..." The small child listens to her mother's story, enjoying every second of it. "Then what Mom?" Iris looks at her son, who was eager to hear the rest of the story. "That's it. The end. Now go to bed Ender, it's late!" The small boy groans in frustration as his mother tucks him in. "That sucks mom!" Iris gives him a small peck on his forehead before leaving. "Go to sleep kid. Remember that tomorrow your aunties and uncle are visiting." Iris closes the door, leaving Ender awake with his thoughts. Loud noises could be heard from outside, along with crashing noises coming from the garage. "Mom...?" Ender gets out of bed, sneaking through the hallway to find his mother. He sees the garage door open, along with some loud noises coming from there. "Mom?" Ender opens the door slightly, to see his mother talking with a large mech. "C'mon Iris! I promise to be back quickly!" The young mech was pleading Ender's mother to let him go outside for a while. "No! Your parents said to stay here until they return! You weren't much trouble when you were small Opie!" Ender looks at the large mech huff a bit, crossing his arms as his mother sighed heavily. "But I'm old enough to protect myself!" He shots a glare at Iris. "Look Opie! People already forgot you Autobots existence, believing you left to Cybertron and it's better if we keep it that way to not cause any trouble. They no longer trust you anymore...." Opie saddens a bit, looking at Iris. "But you still trust us right?" Iris chuckles a bit as she pats his shoulder. "I'll always trust you guys. You're my family." Opie smiles a bit, as he tries to sit down again. He crushes a small barrel next to him. "Oops, sorry..." Iris gets rid of the crushed barrel, going outside to throw it away. Opie looks around for a bit until he sees Ender by the door. "Um-hi!" Ender walks out of the door, waving at Opie. Opie waves back at him, smiling. "You're Ender right?" Ender nods, as he held his hand out. Opie takes it, shaking it a bit. "My mom has told me about you Autobots but she said you left to Cybertron." Opie chuckles a bit. "Some of us did but some of us stayed here to make Earth their home. Like my parents!" Iris walks back in, silently cussing to herself about her stupid neighbor. "Nosy neighbor, anyway- ENDER!?" Ender hides behind Opie, probably in trouble for staying up past his bed time. "Don't worry Iris. He probably heard me causing noise here." Iris sighs heavily as grabs Ender. "Welp, at least you met my curious 7 years old. Ender, meet Opie, who acts like a baby but is at least 2 decades old." Opie rolls his optics, as he chuckles a bit. "And to think you're at least 40." "36 Opie!" Iris scowls him as Ender laughs. "Don't think you're safe Ender, you're grounded." Opie chuckles as Ender frowns. "No fair! Why isn't Opie in trouble???" Iris looks at him then back at Ender. "He'll be in trouble with his parents later. Now to sleep! You'll see him in the morning." Ender leaves, saying good night to his mother and new friend.

The next morning, Ender woke up excited for today. He rushes downstairs to find his mother not in the kitchen. He hears loud voices outside, believing his mother was out there. He opens the door to see Opie and two large mechs behind him, all talking with Iris. "Hey Opie!" Ender waves at Opie, who waved back. Ender walks over to his mom, as he looks at the large mechs beside Opie. "Who are they mom?" Ender points at the two large mechs. "Don't point, that's rude." Ender apologizes as Iris introduced them. "This is Bumblebee, Opie's carrier and this is Optimus Prime, Opie's sire." Bumblebee kneels down, holding his hand out to Ender. Ender places his hand on his, shaking it. "My mom told me a lot about you guys!" Bumblebee smiles, making small happy beeps. "|Your mom has told us about you too! You've grown a lot the last time I saw you.|" Bumblebee continues talking with Ender as Iris and Optimus talked. "Elena, Noah, and Charlie are coming soon to meet you guys and the others. It's been such a long time we've actually spent time together." They eventually see two cars driving towards them. "|Sorry we're late Optimus! Had to leave Phantom with UltraMagnus. You know how toddler mechs are these days.|" Illusion then roughly pets Opie's helm. "Auntie!!!!" Illusion laughs as Opie tries getting her hand of his helm. "You guys ready for the camping trip today?" Mirage stood next to Illusion, his arm around her waist. "We're ready. Made Ender pack his stuff last night." Ender grabs his bag as Illusion turned into her alt mode. "So that's why you said to pack my sleeping bag last night."

Ender was getting to know the rest of the Autobots that came to the trip. "Is it true that you were friends with a decepticon?" Ender asked Arcee. "Yeah and he should be getting here soon along with his kids and spark mate." Ender continues to talk with Arcee as Illusion and Iris set up camp. UltraMagnus and Smokescreen were playing with Phantom, Illusion's and Mirage's kid. CliffJumper and WheelJack were annoying Rachet, who tried to gather fire wood in peace. After a few hours later, StarScream and Megatron arrived, their two kids Meteora and Ghost going off to annoy Opie. Bumblebee sat next to Optimus, admiring the night sky together. "I'm glad we're here together Bee." Optimus wraps his arm around Bumblebee's waist, Bumblebee resting his helm against his chest. "|I'm glad too.|" They continue admiring the stars as the others were talking behind the background. Opie sits next to his carrier, admiring the stars as well. "I'm glad we stayed on Earth." Bumblebee pets his helm, as Optimus gives him a small kiss on his cheek. They look towards the night sky, as everything begins to quiet down in the city of New York. They all eventually join the others, as the night sky continues to watch over them when they fell into recharge.
