The crowd was chattering and chattering and chattering, the voices all mixing with each other and creating a blanket of noise. Rewindspeed wasn't normally one that was bothered by loud noises; in fact, she  loved to listen to the loud rock their human friend Miko played for them when they visited Earth. But Rewind was bothered, no infuriated, now, because she knew if she tried to call her friends, there was no chance they would hear her. She frowned with a huff as she tried to push her way through the crowd again. She strained her optics to try and see anyone she recognized.

"Rewind!"

The femme perked up when her audio receptor heard her designation somewhere in the crowd. She swung her head in the direction of the sound, her faceplate brightening when she saw her best friend pushing Cybertronian's aside. Behind her was her brother, Tailwind, their cousin, Timewheel, and their friend Hornetbee. Her spark picked up happily and she shoved past a group of mechs to reach them. She crushed Arrow into a hug with a happy squeal.

"You're finally here!!" she cried out when she let go.

The blue femme laughed, which was almost drowned out by the sounds of the crowd. "Of course we are! Wow, how long has it been?" She slapped her friend on the shoulder plate.

"OMP, like, two days!!" Rewind groaned dramatically. 

Tailwind chuckled and held out his servo to shake. "Since it seems to have been so long," he added coolly, though his optics were playful.

Rewind slapped it away and full on hugged him, just to make him squirm. Squirm he did, his upper body going rigid while his legs danced to get out of her grip. She laughed at him and let go, growing even more hysteric when he shot backwards, almost losing all the datapads he was carrying. His sister and cousin laughed at him while Hornetbee approached the femme.

"Well, it's been a bit longer since I've last seen you," he said with a light chuckle. "Hiya, Rewind."

She beamed and slapped his arm. "Hey, Hornet! It's been what, three months?"

He grinned and rubbed the back of his neck cables. "Well, my parental units have been busy as of late."

Rewind nodded. "Believe me, so have mine. I mean, since my sire is the new Prime and everything, setting up this school has been a big priority of his."

"How is Smokimus Prime lately?" Tailwind asked gently. "I heard that Ratchet has been fussing over him."

Rewind scoffed and waved her servo dismissively. "Oh, that's Ratch for ya. Sire's fine, he just likes the council from the medic, considering he was Optimus' best friend."

"Do I not get a hello?" Wheeler butt in suddenly, making a mock offended expression as he walked over to Rewind.

The femme swallowed back a squeak, forcing her cheeks not to blush. "No, you don't," she teased, punching his chest chassis with a wide grin. Her spark involuntarily beat a little faster when she touched him, but he seemed completely normal as he laughed.

"No fair!" he whined and ruffled the top of her helm harshly. "Why can't I? Did I do something wrong?" He pointed at himself with a fake innocent look.

The two laughed and hugged each other. Rewind sucked in a sharp vent as his arms gripped her tightly. Yes, she had feelings for him. She had since they had met each other as sparklings. However, even as he held her tightly now, she had no idea what he thought of her. A sister, maybe? She prayed that wasn't the case.

"Rewindspeed, your sire is walking up to the stage," Tailwind said stoically. "Is there a place where we can sit?"

Rewind cleared her throat nervously, but Wheeler didn't let her go. In fact, he pulled her in even closer. The femme groaned inwardly when he smirked teasingly at her. She turned her helm to the medic in training with an annoyed look. "Yeah, I saved us some spots. I have a couple friends there, actually." She lifted her arms and pushed Wheeler's chest chassis with a laugh. "Dude, lemme go!"

"This is my revenge," he shot back. "For not getting a proper hello!"

Arrowwind snorted and slapped her cousin on the back. "Let her go, we hafta go sit down before her sire starts talking!"

"Nope," he said in a monotone voice, though he was smirking like an idiot. "She can lead the way like this."

Rewind couldn't help but blush a little while giving a loud sigh. "Fine, lemme turn around at least." She was a little relieved when he did so, though her spark was screaming happily that he wasn't letting her go. She gestured for the others to follow her, ignoring their highly amused looks as she pulled Wheeler along.

They pushed through the crowd to front row seats, much to her friends' delight. Sitting down by their seats were two almost identical femmes, save for their colors. They both beamed happily when they saw Rewind coming, one of them waving enthusiastically. The other snorted and tried to pry her sister's servo back down.

"Guys," Rewind said as the others sat down, save for her and Wheeler, "these are my friends, Graffiti and Miko! They're sparktwins."

Arrowwind jumped up with a wild look in her optics. "Wait, GRAFFITI AND MIKO?! As in, Bulkhead's kids?!" She slid over to them and took one of their servos. "Omp, HI!!"

One of them laughed brightly. "Thanks!! I'm Graffiti, by the way!" She shook the servo Arrowwind had just taken enthusiastically.

The other, Miko, grinned. "Nice to meet you guys," she said. "Rewind's told us a lot about you." She turned her helm to Wheeler, who was still gripping the femme tightly. "Hey, Wheeler! How you been?"

"Great! But Rewind didn't give me a proper hello, so now I'm getting revenge," he told them, holding her tighter when she squirmed.

"OHMYPRIMUS!" Rewind laughed, slapping his arms.

"PFFT!!" Graffiti giggled. "I was wondering what was going on.

Wheeler smirked again as the femme struggled in his grip. "Okay, okay, HELLO, geez!!" Rewind cried, not able to stop her laughter now. She was giggling hysterically as he finally let her go, shoving her into a seat and then plopping down right next to her. 

"Alright, everyone, let's settle down," came Smokimus Prime's voice over a loudspeaker. Rewind jumped a little at her sire's voice. The entire stadium that had been built went silent, the crowd hushing each other to here what their new Prime had to say. Rewind sat up straight and smiled up at her proud sire.

Smokimus Prime was giving everyone a gentle smile from where he was standing on the stage. Their were several other mechs and femmes sitting down behind him, most likely the new teachers and faculty members. The Prime had a mic attached to his audio receptor as he waited for all the noise to disappear before he continued. His silver, blue, and red paint job shone in the daylight, and the younglings all looked up to him in awe, anxiously waiting to hear what he had to say.

"Well, I would like to start by telling everyone," he began. "That I am very grateful that you have all accepted your invitations to join this new school. I know the past few years have been hard, getting used to a life you've never known, and several of you had grown up in an environment that has a hard time trusting each other. I know that may have been difficult for many of you, and for you to come here despite that truly means something to me.

"The purpose of this school is not only to teach you the ways of our planet, but to help you all gain that trust in each other you may have never had. We at the Council have realized how corrupt our new homeworld is, and that truly pains us. What is even worse to see is that it is affected the sparks and processors of our young. In the new beginning of Cybertron, we had hoped for a peaceful planet that our children could grow up in. However, it has been proven that we must do much more to obtain the peace we had before Megatron's tyranny. 

"Not only will these classes be giving you skills for your future, but many will be designed to help you all learn who to trust and how to grow in our community. Now, we are not doing this to force you to get along. We understand how hard this can be. But for the better of our planet, this is the best course of action to help our young recreate the peace our world had so long ago."

He smiled kindly at the younglings below him, who all were heavily inspired by his words. Rewindspeed grinned brightly, her spark swelling with love and pride for her sire. She knew he had been working on that speech for a while now. He had been consulting with his sparkmate and Ratchet a lot to try and make this as inspiring and Prime like as possible. She loved the fact that even though he was a Prime, he was still a learning kid at spark.

"Thank you for your audience with me today," he finished, clapping his servos together. "Now, I would like to hand it over to your principle, Ultra Magnus."

The crowd applauded as the sky blue and red mech stood from behind the Prime. The two exchanged a few words while shaking servos. Wheeler turned to Rewind with a slightly disgusted look. Several whispered behind them told her what he was about to say.

"Ultra Magnus is our principle? For real?" he hissed, his servo hiding his derma. "Is he really the best choice?"

She rolled her optics at him. "Think about it, dufus. He is perfect for the job. He goes by the rules and is fair, but his time with Team Prime taught him plenty about teamwork."

Wheeler scowled but nodded. He had heard several bad stories about him from his sire, but Wheeljack had admitted that they got along much better now, and Ultra Magnus was much better than he had been previously. The younger mech shrugged and turned his attention to back to their principle who was walking to center stage.

"Like our Prime, I would also like to thank you for joining us, not only today, but for the long run in the future. I understand that we have several things to work through, but my dream is that we will make it happen." A rare smile fell upon his faceplate, one that sent shock throughout almost the entire crowd. "Now, let us begin with class schedules."
