It's been a week. We got Bee's t-cog back, though it was badly damaged. However, Ratchet was able to fix and now Bee is happily driving around. He is very happy to have his t-cog back. I've just come out of surgery and my t-cog is fixed. Or at least, I hope. I stand up and try transforming. It doesn't work the first, second or third try. I keep trying and finally get it on the tenth try. I laugh happily and drive through the exit happily. Once I get out though, I lose my happiness...

Ratchet and Nebula have been ignoring me. I don't understand why. If I come into the room, they either leave the room or pretend to be busy working on something. If I ask Ratchet if he needs help with something, he will tell me no harshly. I can't even get close to Nebula. She glares at me when I enter the room and then she leaves the room. I don't understand what's happening. The only ones that know that I'm not happy are Arcee and Bumblebee. Bee because has like a brother to me and Arcee because she can tell when I'm not happy. I suppose she is like a sister to me.

She's been trying to figure out why Nebula is ignoring me. So far, whenever I'm brought up around Nebula, she either leaves the room or changes the subject. One of these days, I'm going to corner her and question her. I sigh and head back to base. When I get to the main room, only Nebula is there. She doesn't notice me coming in. And she's surrounded by surfaces except for one way out. I block her way out and then speak.

"Nebula", I say softly. She looks at me and the glares when she realizes that it's me. I hold back tears. Why is my best friend acting like this?? "Nebula, why do you keep glaring at me like you hate my spark? What happened to our friendship? We were best friends, almost sisters..."

"You ruined our friendship", came her curt reply. My breath got caught in my throat.

"How? How did I ruin our friendship?", I ask, the tears harder to hold back.

"What's going on between you and Bee?", she asks, whipping around the face me, glaring at me.

"What?", I ask, confused about how Bee had anything to do with this. "Nothing."

"Yeah, right", she glares, going back to the computer. "You guys sure are spending a lot of time together for 'nothing' to happen."

"What are you talking about?", I exclaim, not bothering to hold back my tears.

She whips around again, her eyes widening when she saw my tears before going back to a glare. "Are you guys a couple or not?", she asks.

"That's what this is all about?", I exclaim. "No, me and Bee are not a couple!! He's like a little brother to me!!"

Nebula's eyes widen before she slouches. "I thought... earlier this week, you were able to understand him, and then you guys were hugging a lot... I thought you guys were a couple... I'm sorry..."

Nebula tears up and I sigh. I pull her into a hug. "It's fine. Just don't assume things... it's not good for you..."

"I noticed", she laughs slightly. I smile before remembering Ratchet.

"Do you know why Ratchet has been ignoring me...?", I ask.

She shakes her head. I sigh.

"Why do you care if Ratchet is ignoring you?", she asks.

I blush before whispering, "I really really like him..."

She grins before shoving me towards my room.

"You're to stay in here while I get someone", she says with a huge grin.

I blink before it registers. "Nebula, don't you-", the door was shut before I could finish yelling. "-dare..."

I groan and flop back on my berth. "Nebula, I swear I'm going to kill you." The door opens and I look up to see Ratchet. I sigh and sit up. He doesn't look at me but he tries to leave. The door is locked... "Okay, I really am going to kill her", I mutter under my breath. Ratchet tries to yell at Nebula to let him out so he could go back to his work. She only responds with, "not until you two talk it out."

I sigh as Ratchet continues to argue with Nebula. I sigh and decide to start singing the song that I sang about Ratchet a week ago.

"I love you too much
To live without you loving me back
I love you too much
Heaven's my witness and this is a fact
I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours 
Cause I love you too much

"I live for your touch
I whisper your name night after night
I love you too much 
There's only one feeling and I know it's right
I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours
Cause I love you too much

"Heaven knows your name I've been 
Praying to have you 
Come here by my side
Without you a part of me's missing
Just to make you my own I will fight

"I love you too much!
I love you too much
Heaven's my witness and this is a fact
You live in my soul
Your heart is my goal
There's love above love and it's mine
Cause I love you
There's love above love and it's yours
Cause I love you
There's love above love and it's ours 
If you love me
As much."

Ratchet then spoke. "You sang that same song a week ago."

I nod but don't say anything else. I was facing the door but I was looking at the ground. Ratchet walks over to me and sits next to me on my berth.

"Do you know why she locked us in here?", he asks.

I nod. "She wants us to talk..."

"About what?", Ratchet exclaims.  I shrug but look towards him slightly. He's watching me and in his eyes I see restraint and pain.

I sigh before asking him a question.

"Why have you been avoiding me?", I ask softly. Ratchet tenses up.

"You told me last week that you would make time for me but you've been spending all your time with Bumblebee", he whispers.

I freeze before glaring at him. He looked shocked by my sudden glare. "I've only been spending time with Bee more than you because you've pushed me away!! I would've spent more time with you if you hadn't pushed me away but you did!! And for the record, Bee is like a brother to me!", I snap before standing up and opening the door. I'm guessing that Nebula unlocked it as soon as she heard us actually talking.

"Out", I say.

"Aura...", Ratchet starts.

"Don't Aura Me! Get out of my room!", I snarl. He looks taken about but he stands up and starts to leave. As he passes by me, he pauses. I refuse to look at him. He sighs and whispers "I'm sorry" before leaving. I watch him walk down the hall, looking sad and I wanted to call out to him but I was afraid of what would happen if I did. As soon as he disappears out of sight, I close my door and start crying.

"Why didn't I call out to him?!", I exclaim. "I'm such an idiot!!"

Then it hits me, I can still make this right. I open my door and head to the main room. When I get there, the entire team except for Ratchet was frozen.

"What happened?", I exclaim.

Ratchet glances at me before responding. "They appear to be in some form of stasis lock."

"How did they get like this?", I ask.

"Optimus decided to use the spark extractor against the Deceptions since we can track their ship currently. They went to use it and the ship had a stasis beam that froze them", Fowler says. "I was there."

I blink and look at Ratchet. Nebula came and joined us in the main room and was definitely surprised. We explained to her what happened. She looks at me and asks me a silent question. I simply shake my head and she glares at me.

"You need to tell him", she says.

"I am not telling him. I am not ready for him to know...", I reply. Ratchet looks between us confused.

"Who are you guys talking about?", he asks.

I immediately say "No one" but Nebula, at the same time as me, says "You." I glare at her and Ratchet looks between us again.

"Um... who should I believe?", he questions.

Miko then decided to speak up. "Nebula."

"Miko!", I yell. She grins and scampers away. "So why are you talking about me?", Ratchet asks.

I groan and tell him that I would tell him later. He looks at me confused before going back to the problem at hand.

We eventually decide to call the warship.

"Autobot Outpost Omega One to the Decepticon warship. Megatron, please respond", Ratchet says. No answer. "Megatron."

There's a beep and then a voice. "Megatron has been relieved of his command."

"Who is this?", Ratchet asks suspiciously.

"Who is this?", the voice asks.

"Hey, no fair, we asked first!!", I exclaim.

"Have you taken control of the Decepticon vessel?", Ratchet asks, smiling slightly at my comment.

"I am the vessel!", the warship says. "Any Cybertronian who interferes with my mission will be neutralized." It then sends pictures of the warship filled with frozen cons.

"What mission?", Ratchet asks.

"Priority one: decrypt Iacon database and recover Decepticon technology."

"For what purpose?", Ratchet asks. There's a pause like it's trying to figure out the answer before it hangs up.

"It hung up?", Miko exclaims. "Rude!"

"Rude?!", Fowler exclaims. "There's a giant spaceship flying around collecting Decepticon weapons of mass destruction!"

Jack then points out that it's one full of neutralized cons. When Fowler asks what his point was, Jack says, "this could be only our only chance to slip aboard and download the Iacon database."

"So Optimus can decode it", Raf says.

"Ingenious. I will infiltrate the Decepticon database", Ratchet says.

"You will do no such thing", I say. When he turns to looks at me and I fold my arms and give him a look. He doesn't say anything before turning back to Jack who started to speak.

"Not ingenious", Jack says. "You saw what it did to the Decepticons."

"Probably Megatron too", Raf says.

"And Team Prime", Miko adds.

"But that tub had me dead to rights and I'm still standing", Fowler adds.

"The ship may be blind to humans", Jack realizes.

"Very well, Agent Fowler", Ratchet says. "But at the first sign of trouble, I'm bridging you back. Now, in order to download the database, you will need a compatible transfer drive."

"A what?", Fowler asks confused. After Raf and Miko coming up with other things he'll need, all the humans are groundbridged to the warship.

After that I lose focus and start thinking. What happens when we get the Iacon database, if we get it? I don't know. I hope Optimus will have a plan once we get them out of stasis. Several minutes later, the ground bridge opens, Miko and Rad come through helping Agent Fowler and Ratchet runs through once Miko and Raf explain what Jack was doing. What happened to Fowler? Oh well. Soon, the effects of stasis wear off the other bots and they start moving almost as soon as Jack gets back with Ratchet.

We don't have to explain to the frozen bots what happened because apparently they could hear what was going on while in the stasis lock. I don't know how... oh well.

Once Ratchet checks them over, he glances at me and I knew he wanted to talk to me about what me and Nebula were talking about.

I nod towards the hall and head over there and wait a few minutes for Ratchet. Soon he comes around the corner and stands in front of me.

"What were you and Nebula talking about earlier?", he asks.

I realize I didn't want to be overheard by anyone.

"Can we go somewhere no one can overhear our conversation?", I ask, looking away from him. Ratchet grabs my servo with his own and starts walking. I tense up at his contact and he notices because he looks down at me. I don't look up at him because I knew I would be blushing.

He sighs before continuing to lead me to the back of base. We come to the very back of base where no one would be. He lets go of my hand and allows me to speak.

"Nebula was saying that I should tell you something", I mutter, finding the floor very interesting.

"And what was that?", Ratchet asks.

I sigh and whisper "that I like you."

Ratchet didn't hear me because I was so quiet. He leans closer so he could hear me better. I tried to work up the courage to tell him but couldn't. "Ah, screw it", I mutter and lean up and kiss Ratchet. He looks surprised and I pull away. He looks shocked and I immediately knew I shouldn't have kissed him.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that", I whisper, this time loud enough for him to hear me and run off. He didn't catch up to me even though I know he's faster than me...

Why did I have to fall for him? That question went through my mind several times as I made my way to my room. I close the door but don't lock it, in hopes that he may try to come talk to me.

I sit down on my berth, facing away from the door, waiting for someone to come through. But no one does and I eventually fell asleep.
