June shivered in her cold dark cell, it was obvious that the cons knew scrap about humans.

The deafening noise of a large door opening filled her ears.

She squinted at the bright light. A man in red smirked as he brought a tray of food.

" Knockout...." she hissed. The doctor grinned evily as he slammed down her tray of food. She scrunched her nose at the small amount, enough just to keep her from starving.

" Their coming for me!" She spat at the con. The surgeon laughed at her remark.

" Its been a week Darby! Are you.sure...." he taunted. Her face fell, she scowled at him and picked up her sorry excuse of a meal.

" Bye June."

He said sweetly with a little wave, the nurse glared and turned her back to him.
Saying thus he turned around and smirked as he left the cell.

June looked at the wall, a knot formed in her throat. A week?

Had it been that long?

The medics words echoed in her mind.

" its been a week Darby are you sure....."

She lifted her knees to her chest. They were the Autobots...they would save her....they would never left one of their own.....

Would they?

Miko watched the Team, she sighed. They were all for the most part busy.

She glanced over to her surnamed " Geek corner " where Rachel, Raf and Ratchet were working on locating the Nemesis.

She smirked at the three R's as they worked. Turning around she saw Bee, Bulk, Arcee and the brothers spar, and work on their training. She walked over to the kid area and sat down.

She was board....

" What is there to do around here?" Said a gruff voice. Miko jumped and looked next to her. Sparky looked at her in.annoyance.

" Well?" He said impatiently.

Miko had no idea what to say.

" Uh....at the time...."

Jack's voice interrupted

" Smoke and I are going to the K.O drive through, you two wanna come?"

Miko sighed in relief....

" What's a drive through?"

Jack grinned at the small man.

" You'll see...."

Prime silently walked to his quarters, glad for the silence, he needed it.

At the time, Ratchet, Rachel, and Rafael were working on the location of the Nemesis, His team was working on training, and Miko and two others were distracting Jack.

And he was.....by himself, Ratchet knew why, and was leaving him be.

He pressed a button on a machine, a hologram flickerd to life. The image of a pink femme appeared.

Optimus face fell into his hands, he choked back a sob.

" Elita...."

The memories flooded back to him, the times when the two of them weren't fighting, and he had been Orion Pax, and she his Sparkmate.....

Prime grabbed his hair in frustration, every year was like this, he sighed as the memories kept coming.

Prime looked behind him to see a femme running in his direction.

" PRIME!!" She yelled above the destruction of war.

Optimus felt his spark race in fear, she was a strong femme and a great fighter, but he couldn't lose her....

" Elita go!" He shouted, but she kept coming.

" I want to go with you!!" She shouted above the chaos.

" No! Its to dangerous!!!" He yelled back.

A con fired missile that exploded between the two of them.

" Elita!!NO!!!"

The smoke cleared, and she was gone, his femme, his sparkmate.....dead....

He had to stop Megatron

" Elita I will come back for you-"

Optimus hated this day, he never let her go, he still loved her? He was hanging on this belief that she was still alive, and he had to keep his promise to her.

He couldn't though.....Ratchet was there when her signal went off line.

The Autobot leader sighed in frustration, he couldn't hold it back anymore, the sob in his throat came forth, and he let it all out.

For a Elita, his home, the loss of so so many friends, Cliffjumper, Bee's voice, even his lost brother Megatronous.

His shoulders shook violently from the sob, at a distance he could hear footsteps coming. He stopped and sat up.

He needed to stop acting like a foolish child and be the leader was known to be.

He pulled himself together and left his quarters. He walked over to the main area and over to.Ratchet.

" Is there anything I can assist with old friend?" He asked the medic. Ratchet looked up at his leader.

" Only if you want to restock out food supply from the store." he replied half jokingly with a small chuckle.

The Prime nodded.

" Anything I can do to be a service."

Ratchet got up from his seat and placed a hand on his friends shoulder.

" If that's what you want to do, but knowing today-"

Prime cut him off

" Just tell me what to get."

Ratchet pulled out a list of items and handed it to his leader..Optimus nodded as he took the list and walked over to his semi, getting in he turned it on and took off.

Ratchet watched his old friend leave, he sighed.

This was normal for him, knowing what day this was.

" What's up with the boss?" Asked Wheeljack. Ratchet turned and glared at the mech. Wheeljack put up his hands in innocence, the medic turned and stalked off.

" Really Jackie." Scoffed Arcee giving him a punch in the arm.

" What?" Replied the wrecker. The femme sighed.

" This has always been a tough day for Prime."

The rest of the team looked at her, she sighed.

" Because today, many years ago, Elita one, his sparkmate went off line...."
