The day started like it normally did. After I woke up, get dressed and take breakfast I went to the command center, where everyone comes one by one. I, like usually go to PeaceStar, see if I could learn something new. But I never knew it would be last time I got a chance to ask her because I wouldn't see her again.

The weeks have turned into months and it was winter time. Well, it doesn't look so in Jasper, but I know that in other places there is. The Holidays have passed on and it was like the first one with them. It was nothing special. Since I knew they were middle of missions, war, and work, that I didn't want to bother them. Instead, I served them warm Energon with screw-nuts. They like it. I know because guys start to ask when I'll make more. Of course, Peace knew why I made it, so all I got was sweet hug and holoprojector. It should allow me to go out without anyone to notice I'm a cyborg. Also, I could change my clothes fast and snappy. Cool. And like usual Sweet hugs me tightly like every day.

But I have noticed certain of her. When there's time Star is needed on the field, is usually me or PeaceStar, not SweetStar. she usually stays on the base. I know she was youngest of the Star, but I'm amateur compared to her. I wonder why so?

Right then thoughts were interrupted by Sweet once again when she glomps on me.

"Morning Sweet," said PeaceStar without taking her look from her monitor.

"Morning, sis! Morning Elena!" she said cheerfully.

"Morning..." I said. I have got used this so many times that I knew it's pointless to get her off. And everyone seems to enjoy the view. Well, everyone except Optimus. He is either out on a drive or in monitor checking something. Today he was outside on patrol looking for Energon. I figured it out right when he sends a message that he found one mine of Energon and need others to come. A cording to the Coordinates he was in the middle of Alaska.

Ratchet prepared the ground bridge so, others could go through with it. Peace decided to go with them just in case.

"What kind is Alaska?" asked SweetStar from me.

"Alaska is known for its winter views and dog sleigh"

"It's full of snow?" asked SweetStar excited.

"Yes, at this time of year," I said.

"I want to see! Can we go, please!" she begged. I shouldn't be surprised. After all, she represents ice, so it's obvious she likes winter. So I agreed, dressed for winter and we followed by other through the bridge.

Optimus and others notice us just when the bridge closed.

"What are you doing here?" asked Arcee.

"Sweet wanted to see the place when she heard it's covered with snow," I said.

"With what?" asked Cliffjumper.

"The white stuff that comes this time of year. It happens here on earth." said PeaceStar. "unfortunately we're in the cave, so it's bit useless."

"Cave of ice," I asked. In this everyone looked around and notice I was right. The whole cave was actually covered in ice. Before any of them could take a step I stopped them.

"Be careful. The ice is fragile here. One big noise and it falls from the top." I said and point on which was full of ice spikes.

"Ice is too sharp like a blade. It could slice you. Or at least three of us" In this, I meant me, PeaceStar and SweetStar.

"Understood," said Optimus. "We'll move on in our vehicle mode. PeaceStar you look for the energon. Elena, stay near SweetStar." I didn't know why, but I agreed. Sweet asked me to take her here, so I have stay near her.

Everyone drove calmly as they could. Luckily they have changed their tires so they manage to move on ice. Finding Energon from the ice wasn't easy, but luckily Peace knew how to find them. I believe it leaves some sort of radiation to find it. That's what my dad discovered when we were that cave. Once we stopped near lots of energon, others except Optimus transformed, so they could collect it and load it On Optimus, since he is a truck.

"Sweet, can you and Elena look a bit further? Just in case," asked PeaceStar.

"Okay," said SweetStar. We walked, while Sweet admired the view of the ice. By now it looked like, there was Energon too, but soon I stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked SweetStar.

"There's something glowing there?" I said and point ahead of us. It wasn't so clear, but something was glowing under the ice floor. I move gently and closely to it, Sweet behind me. When I got a good view of it, Sweet saw it too and knew what it was.

"That's an old cybertronian mine," she said.

"A what?" I asked. Well, I would have yelled, but then we would in big trouble.

"Well, back then when war Cybertron was over, some decided to move their Energon storage to other planets like this one. Who hide this made sure that enemy won't get it."

"Well, he was bit stupid too. What if it was allied?" I asked.

"Umm... Back then no one didn't take risk back at war. War could change people, you know."

"I know..."

"We can't move any further. We have to tell the others," she said.

"Good idea," I said and we started to move away. But after a good distance, I slip. I never was good on ice, ever. So, yeah. I fell on my butt. I tried to hold my yell best, but I managed to let out a small whine.

"Are you okay?" asked SweetStar. I couldn't answer because I tried to hold my yell. I probably even looked weird. When my pain was relieving, we heard small crack above us. One tiny ice spike started falling. It didn't look much, but we then realize it was falling right on to the mine.

"Run!" I yelled. We did run. Because right when the ice touched the mine it explodes, which entire cave started to shake and Ice started to fall from the top. Others also notice it when small ones started to fall.

"Tell me they didn't..." said Cliffjumper.

"Not on purpose," said PeaceStar, when she saw us running to them.

"There's was an old mine!" I yelled.

"Yeah. you're right. Not on purpose," said Cliffjumper.

"Autobots, take cover!" ordered Optimus.

Everyone did like was told. Even if ice didn't affect them a lot, it looked like it was like a rain of granules to them. Since SweetStar was the holder of ice element she manages to get safe. But I was trying to get to others to safety, I strip and fell.

"Elena!" yelled PeaceStar.

I manage to look up to see one of the ice was right above me. It was shaking, which means when it falls, I'll be dead. Then it broke from the top and was falling right on me. But right then felt a hand grabbing me and moved me away. I heard how ice broke when it hit the ground. I looked around to see that PeaceStar has come out from others to save me. I looked at her while she smiled at me with relief that I was alright. But that was last time I saw her smiling.

There was another ice that broke from the top and landed right on her waist. I felt like time had stopped to let us all realized what had happened. Peace was sliced into two. Energon was pouring fast from her when her smile vanished from her face and her optics were shutting down.

"SISTER!" yelled SweetStar and tried to get to her, but Arcee got her first. She tried to get to her, while tears started to fall from her eyes.

I just lay there in shock watching the scene. Others went to help, removing the ice and picking PeaceStar up, while Optimus called Ratchet to open the bridge and prepare the med bay. When the ground bridge opened others went through it, with the energon they managed to collect. Soon there was left Optimus, Arcee, SweetStar and me.

"Elena..." said Optimus. I looked at him seen the worry in his eyes. I didn't know what to say. I looked SweetStar, who looked at me tears falling from her face. I didn't look Arcee since I knew she was just waiting for an answer and whatever reaction what was necessary. I looked down, while tears started to fall to the ground. I couldn't look any of them. I couldn't answer. The entire scene was playing all over in my head to see what went wrong until it left with one conclusion. It was my fault.

I then notice hand near me. It was Optimus. In any other situation, I would have accepted it, by climbing to his hand and he puts me to sit on his shoulder like he always did. But I didn't feel I deserved it. I didn't deserve to be with them. I failed them.

I got up and moved away from him. From them.

"Elena?"

"I... I... I..." was all I manage to say because of my tears. "I don't deserve this." Was in my thoughts. She died because of me. I'm nothing but trouble. Then I felt something. I soon realized Arcee had come to me, picked me up and hugged me. I was out of words.

"It wasn't your fault. She knew what she was doing..." she said. I first wanted to protest what she said. I even tried to get off, but she holds me tightly not letting me go. I soon knew it was pointless. They won't leave me. I started to cry. Even if I didn't cry loud, the cave echoed on my cries. It was my second time I cried like that.

Soon we passed through the ground bridge to the base. I was carried by Arcee like a child. I don't know how they prepare their dead, but I never saw Peace, because her body was covered. Ratchet has heard what happened in the cave. He looked at me like saying 'I'm sorry for your loss'. I never expected that from him. Sweet went to her sister's body, while I was carried to quarters of Optimus and I was put to my bed.

"She should be alright now," said Arcee.

"Thank you," said Optimus and went sit on his desk. Arcee came to another side of the desk looking at him.

"None of us didn't see this to come..." she said.

"Actually, she did," he said. Arcee looked at him before he started to explain. "When she operated Elena, PeaceStar told me the reason why gave her parts to her. She got vision on that she will die here on earth. She didn't tell when or how. She just knew she won't be with us longer."

"So, when she gave those parts..."

"She was making sure Elena will carry on the legacy of Stars. She even saw her becoming one. Elena Star... she even asked me to look after her, when she passes away."

Arcee was bit surprised. PeaceStar gave up her part, so Elena could become Star. Does Sweet know about this? Maybe she does. By what she heard Stars can share their dreams, thought and visions by dreams. And Peace even asked Optimus to look after Elena.

"Optimus...?" she tried to ask. He looked at her waiting her to finish, but she didn't.

"Yes?"

"Nothing. It's nothing. She just... seems to like you a lot... Elena, I mean..." said Arcee. Optimus look at my room's direction.

"I see..." he said, while a small smile came to his face.

"I should go now..." said Arcee and going to the door

"Arcee," said Optimus. Arcee stopped there and look at him. "Thank you for listening. And if you need something, my doors will be open."

"Your welcome, sir. And thank you," she said before she left. Outside Arcee leaned next to the wall blushing madly. To think, she likes Optimus Prime and he told her about PeaceStar and Elena. He even said she could come when she needed something. Well, that didn't mean much yet, but it did something. She walked back to the command center, while Optimus still remained in his quarters. He kept looking direction of my room before he picks something from his desk. It was empty audio file pad. He looks it at while before looked back at my room. Right, then Ratchet call him by Com-link before he left his quarters leaving file pad on his desk.
