Fast Forward a few weeks, and Strongarm was feeling (and looking) a lot better. The wound was only a memory and she was walking and moving as freely as before. She was discharged from the med bay earlier that day, and she got an energon drink. She was thinking about the incident, when sideswipe came to sit next to her.

Strongarm felt, as the humans called it, "butterflies in her stomach" again. She didn't look straight at him because there was a light blue blush on her faceplate. She tried to start conversation.

"Hey S-Sideswipe, what happened that night w-when I was knocked out?"

"So it was over 45 minutes since you left, the team and I were worried. We thought that you were in trouble, which you were in, by the way, and tried to contact you. We heard your groan, and Steeljaw saying something about the subway tunnels and fixit tracked your location to the same place that we were stuck in the shipping crate. We fought Steeljaw and his crew, and there was so much anger in bumblebee that he was able to take down Steeljaw.

"That d-does explain the groan I heard, and Steeljaw on the floor."

"Yeah, it does, but anyway, Clampdown was hit with the first strike and Me and Drift took down Thunderhoof, and Grimlock took down Underbite. Me and Drift finished first, so I went to get you while Drift helped Bumblebee with Steeljaw. I found you on the opposite side of the shipping crate, and called your name a few times, but you didn't answer. Steeljaw ran away though, and so did Thunderhoof, Clampdown, and Underbite. They groundbridged and left, so we did the same. I put you in the med bay, where fixit ran some scans and everyone was quiet."

"B-but when I woke up, no one was there."

"'Cause Fixit shooed us away and turned on his blaster cannons. He said to leave or else."

"Oh. Thanks f-for telling me."

"No problem."

Strongarm finished her energon drink, and as she turned to put it away, sideswipe called, "Strongarm?"

"Yes, sideswipe?" She had turned to look at him, trying as hard as she could to hold her blush in.

"What happened when you were on patrol?"

"Well, I was out on patrol, and Steeljaw sneaked up behind me and punched me in the stomach. Then my back hit a tree. When I woke up again, I was in the Subway tunnels and I saw the shipping crate you and I broke out of. Then I heard blasters and saw Steeljaw on the floor. And everyone went black again."

She purposefully left out the part where she was thinking about him, or when she felt him pick her up because she was to scared to admit that she was scared to confess her feelings to him.

Time skip brought to you by random pranks in the scrapyard and everyone blaming Sideswipe until they figure out it's Bumblebee

A few days later, Strongarm was sitting on the big sign when sideswipe climbed up next to her. It was a beautiful sunset and the both of them were enjoying it together, and Strongarm was blushing so hard that her faceplate was just as blue as her plating.

"You know," said sideswipe, "It is beautiful, the sunset."

"Yeah, it is," said Strongarm, yawning. The 2 Autobots stayed there for a few hours, and it was past the time Strongarm usually recharges at. As she drifted off into recharge on sideswipe's shoulder, Sideswipe couldn't help but smile and wrap his servo around her waist. After he started to also get tired, he carried her down into her berth room and set her in a comfortable position. He then went into his own berth room and fell into recharge.

When Strongarm woke up, she was surprised to see that she was in her berth room. She came to the conclusion that Sideswipe had taken her into her berth room and immediately blushed at the thought. Then she started thinking about when she and sideswipe were talking to each other when she asked him what happened that night when she was captured.

Why was I so nervous? I kept on stuttering. He probably thinks I'm weird now. No, he definitely thinks I'm weird now.
