It was a beautiful day in Detroit, as the Autobots were still repairing a bridge to the city. "Okay, I'm officially bored. Hey, Boss bot! How about a cooling break?", Bumblebee asked.
"You just had one two cycles ago.", Optimus replied. "But, I'm thirsty!", Bumblebee complained.
"Look, Bumblebee. The city needs to be rebuilt, and you know as well as I do, that it's partly our fault.", Optimus told him. "Yeah, I guess.", Bumblebee said.
He then saw some of the Decepticons taking construction tools. "But, it's mostly they're fault.", Bumblebee continued.
"Finally some action.", Serenity said. She then went to join the fight, but Optimus held her back.
"It's too dangerous.", Optimus said. "This construction materials are severely hampering our ability's to fly. Perhaps, we shouldn't have taken quite so much.", Icy Blitzwing complained.
Bumblebee then landed in front of them. "What's your hurry? Got something that doesn't belong to you?", Bumblebee asked.
He then transformed his hands into stingers, trying to slow them down. "Kid! Vamoose! Now!", Ratchet yelled out, causing at light post to trip Lugnut and Blitzwing.
But, as they fell, a part of the bridge started to break. "I will pound them into sheet metal!", Hothead shouted out.
"Oh, wait! We already got some!", Random spoke, taking out a piece. "No time for that, Blitzwing. Were on a mission, remember?", Lugnut spoke, as they both transformed with some of the materials.
"They're getting away!", Ratchet shouted out. "We got bigger problems.", Prowl pointed out, as the bridge starts to break with the construction workers on the top.
"I got it!", Bulkhead shouted out, as he went to brace the bridge. Serenity then went to help hold up the bridge with her powers.
"Now, no need to panic. We'll fix this.", Optimus spoke to the construction crew. "Again.", Bumblebee says, glumly.
Serenity then looked at the bridge, as her hands started to glow. "Whoa, Seri! What are you doing?", Bulkhead asked.
But, Serenity didn't reply, as she fixed the bridge. "How did you do that?", Prowl asked.
"I don't know. I just kind of did.", Serenity shrugged. She then looked at one of the clocks on the building.
"I better go pick up Sari from Captain Fanzone. Meet you back at base.", Serenity said. She then transformed and headed for the Captain's home.
Serenity parked outside and beeped her horn. Sari then came out.
"See you later, Fanzone.", Sari called out, as she made her way down to Serenity. "Hey, Sari! How was your day?", Serenity asked.
"It was cool. We went to Burgerbot.", Sari replied. Serenity smiled, as she picked her up and walked back to the base.
"So, what's going with you and Optimus lately?", Sari asked. Serenity then blushed.
"Well, I have gotten more memories of him. And I feel like our relationship is almost fully restored.", Serenity replied. "I don't want those kind of details. Give me the juicy romance ones-", Sari said.
"Oh, look! We are at the base. You better go get into your PJs.", Serenity nervously said. Sari pouted, as she headed for her room.
"This isn't over, Seri.", Sari told her. "I'm not going to come in and sing you to asleep, if you bring up again tonight.", Serenity warned.
Sari then shut up, as she ran to go get dressed. Seeing no one else was in the base yet, Serenity headed to her room.
She then took out the recording of her mother, watching it over again. "I will find you, my sister.", Serenity said to herself.
Meanwhile, the others were finishing up repairing the city. "I mean, why would the Decepticons steal construction supplies anyway? They don't build stuff. They break stuff.", Bumblebee explained.
"Hopefully, they won't break this overpass again.", Optimus sighed, as he looked to where Serenity fixed the bridge. "She sure is starting to get the hang of the Allspark fragment.", Optimus continued.
"You mean, your girlfriend!~", Bumblebee teased. Everyone then started smirking at Optimus, as he started to blush, but quickly gained back his composer.
"We haven't made it that official, yet. Besides, I don't see how that is any of you're business.", Optimus said. "Oh, come on, Prime! We all know you like her and she likes you.", Ratchet spoke.
"So, why haven't you tied the knot yet?", Bulkhead asked. "It's been complicated, lately. We all have been so busy. And I want to do it right.", Optimus defended.
Prowl then stepped forward. "That may be, Optimus. But, if you don't make your move, somebody else will.", Prowl told him.
Optimus sighed and then transformed. "Let's call it a night, Autobots. Bulkhead, you coming?", Optimus asked, as Bulkhead was stirring a mixture of some sort.
But, his feet where stuck. "I'll catch up.", Bulkhead replied.
Optimus then drove away, as Bulkhead tried to free himself. This results in him tarring up part of the ground and knocking over his mixture.
Optimus and the team then soon arrived back at the base. Transforming, Optimus decide to go check on Sari.
He found her slipping on her night shirt and walked in. "Hey, Sari! You getting ready for bed?", Optimus asked.
Sari turned around and smiled. "Yeah, but I'm not tired at all.", Sari said, as she yawned.
Optimus smiled, as Sari asked him to go get Serenity for her. Optimus nodded, as he went to find her.
He knocked on her door, but she didn't answer. Slightly opening it a crack, Optimus saw her watching something.
Taking a closer look, he saw it was a video of the late queen. "...You will have your uncle, my brother, and... your sister. Yes, Serenity, you have a little sister.", Queen Neo stated.
Optimus then suddenly fell through her door, causing Serenity to yelp. She finds Optimus on the floor, giving her a sheepish grin.
"Before you say anything, I was not spying. I came to get you for Sari and just saw only a little bit of the video.", Optimus spoke, as he got up. Serenity quickly took the tape out.
"How much did you see?", Serenity asked him. Optimus then looked at the floor.
"So, you have a sister?", Optimus asked. Serenity soon facepalmed.
"I was suppose to keep it a secret. My mother had to send her away for her protection. I've been trying to find her ever since.", Serenity told him. Optimus then came over and took her hand.
"Do you remember when we fought Cyclonus?", Optimus asked. She then nodded.
"You tried to do that on your own, too. You don't have to face these things alone.", Optimus said. Serenity pulled her hand away and turned her back to him.
"Optimus, this is a family matter.", Serenity told him. Optimus then felt his spark stop.
'Haven't we become like family? All of us?', Optimus thought. Serenity turned to see the pained expression on Optimus's face.
But, he quickly covered it up. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.", Serenity said.
Optimus only nodded back. "Sari was wondering if you could come in.", Optimus said.
Serenity went to walk past him, neither one making eye contact. "Optimus, please don't tell anyone else about my sister.", Serenity told him.
Optimus looked back to her in the door way. "You have my word.", Optimus said.
Serenity smiled, knowing full well she could trust it. Optimus watched her leave.
A small part of him wanted to tell her. To make it official.
But, how could he now? Not only did she have her new powers, rebuilding the city, and the Decepticons to deal with.
But now, she was trying to find a lost family member. Family...
'How could she not think of us as family? I love her!', Optimus thought. He then scolded himself.
'She didn't mean it that way... She has a lot on her shoulder...', Optimus thought. He then looked back at where the video was playing.
An idea soon forming in his head. What if he could find her long lost sister?
Serenity made her way down to Sari's room. Where Sari was watching TV.
Serenity came over and turned it off. "Awww!", Sari complained.
"Time for bed.", Serenity said. "You're worse than my dad.", Sari grumbled.
She then got a sad look to her eyes. "Hey! Do you want me to sing to you?", Serenity asked.
Sari nodded, as she laid down, and Serenity began to a Cybertronian lullaby. Once Serenity was done, Sari was fast asleep.
She then brushed some of the hair out of her face. Serenity soon left.
Then, she suddenly wanted some oil. Somewhere else that night, back at the construction site, three construction vehicles came to life from Allspark shards.
The excavator the accidentally wracked the cement truck. This caused the harvester construction vehicle to back away and hit the wall.
"Oops.", the harvester vehicle spoke, softly. "Hey! Watch where you pointing that thing, shovel head!", the cement truck yelled out.
"Who are you calling shovel head, cement breath!", the excavator truck yelled back. "My name ain't cement breath, okay! It's... It's...", the cement truck stuttered.
"Your little name tag says, Mix Master.", the excavator truck said. "No, that's too long.", the cement truck said.
"How about Mix?", the harvester vehicle, who rammed into the building, said. She then rolled out of the shadows.
"Hey, I like that! What's your name, little lady?", Mix asked. "I don't know.", the harvester vehicle replied.
"Well, since you're a girl, how about we just call you "girly" for now?", the excavator vehicle asked. "What?! What kind of a name is that? She's a lady! How about we call you "Lady", until we come up with something better?", Mix said.
"Okay.", Lady whispered. "You're a shy little thing, aren't you?", the excavator vehicle said, as she backed further into the shadows.
"Hey, don't be afraid. You're going to need some protection. How we become your big brothers?", Mix proposed. "I think I would like that.", Lady said.
They then turned their attention to the excavator. "Okay! And you can call me...", the excavator vehicle stated.
He then saw a sign that said, "Scrap". "Scrap.", Scrap continued.
"Alright! That's too short.", Mix spoke. "How about Scraper?", Lady spoke.
The two boys then began to cheer at their new found names. "So, what do we do now?", Scraper asked.
"Duh! We like building things, alright?", Mix replied, as he then transformed. "Uh, Mix? You're building things out of yourself.", Scraper pointed out, as he then to transformed.
"Yo, Scraper! You're doing it, too.", Mix called out. They then turned to Lady.
"How about you, Lady? You want to try?", Scraper asked. Lady shrugged in vehicle form, before transforming into her robot form.
The two boys then whistled. "Not bad, Sis.", Mix spoke.
"Not bad at all.", Scraper agreed. She only blushed.
"We couldn't do this before, right?", Scraper asked. "Talk... Think... Move by ourselves? Huh, I don't think so. We couldn't do any of that stuff before.", Mix answered.
"Do you think this is happening for like a reason?", Scraper asked. Lady smiled at that thought.
She wanted a purpose. Maybe her purpose was to make others happy.
It worked for her new found brothers. "Uh, yeah!", Mix answered.
Then, a sports car drove by honking it's horn. "Woah! Check out the chassis on that one. Huh?", Mix commented.
"And those tight little tail pipes! Yo, baby! Over here!", Scraper called out. Lady then frowned slightly.
"Are you two making cat calls?", Lady asked. "Yeah! But, if any mech makes them at you, we're going to pound them into scrap metal.", Scraper spoke, while putting a arm over her shoulders.
The car then started to honk. "I love it when they play hard to get.", Mix spoke, as they both transformed and chased after the car.
"You coming, Lady?", Scraper yelled back. Sighing, Lady transformed and followed.
Meanwhile, Bulkhead was still trying to get the right mixture. "Mix one part dry concrete, one part water, and one part fixative. So, what's a part? Must be like a standard Cybertronian cubic unit.", Bulkhead spoke to himself, as he continued to stir.
He then mixed in the ingredients, causing it to bubble. "Is it suppose to do that?", Bulkhead asked.
Then, it began to rumbled. "Guess it wasn't a standard unit.", Bulkhead said.
The mixture then exploded, causing Bulkhead to be knocked out on the ground and some building beams above to become unstable. They were ready to fall on top of him.
This is when the trio decided to drive by. "Yo, baby! Honk if you love construction workers!", Mix called out.
The car then honked. "That's a yes!", Scraper said, cheerfully.
"Guys! Look!", Lady called out, as they saw Bulkhead and the beam about to fall on him. Quickly, they came over.
Lady shielding Bulkhead with her own body, as her brothers knocked the beams away. They used some to build a small platform so something wouldn't fall on Bulkhead.
Bulkhead then chose that time to wake up. Lady was still shielding him.
"What happened?", Bulkhead asked. He then saw Lady on top of him, causing both of them to blush.
Scraper then pulled Lady away, hiding her behind him. "Don't you remember?", Scraper asked.
Bulkhead then shook his head. "Looks like somebody definitely sprinkled some fairy dust. This stuff is old, outdated, totally unstable. But, I guess you know that now.", Mix laughed, while handing Bulkhead the ingredient he was using.
"Are you guys Autobots? You're not Decepticons, are you?", Bulkhead asked. Lady then poked out from behind Scraper.
"Autobots? Decepticons?", Lady asked, confused. Both her and Bulkhead made eye contact.
But, she quickly looked away, while blushing. "Hey, what's this guy talking about?", Mix asked.
"I don't know. His circuits must still be scrambled or something.", Scraper pointed out, once again hiding Lady behind him. "Seriously, what are you?", Bulkhead asked.
Lady was getting slightly annoyed now with this bot. She may be shy, but would it hurt him to thank them or explain himself.
What in the world was he talking about? Mix then finally spoke, "I don't know. One minute we're machines doing our jobs, till we get hit with this weird light and BAM!"
This caused Lady to jumped a little. "We're you know... Whatever we are now.", Scraper added.
"Weird light? An Allspark fragment!", Bulkhead exclaimed. The three just looked at each other with questions written on their faces.
"Yeah... Sure... Allspark... Whatever. Now, let's get his mess clean up. Okay?", Mix spoke, as they started to work. "Guys, I don't know how to thank you.", Bulkhead said.
'About time...', Lady thought, still full of questions about what he was talking about. "Skip it! Let's go get some motor oil, huh? You going to leave this stuff around so you can blow up again?" Mix spoke, while handing the ingredients to Bulkhead.
They all then started walking to the docks. Scraper and Mix were keeping Lady between them.
Bulkhead then looked at the trio. "So, are you guys siblings then?", Bulkhead asked.
"Well, we kind of adopted her as our little sister.", Scraper said, while tussling Lady's helm. This caused her to be slightly annoyed.
"Yeah! And don't get any ideas, Mech!", Mix commanded, while poking Bulkhead in the chest. Bulkhead looked away, then back to others.
"What are your guy's names anyway?", Bulkhead asked. "I'm Mix.", Mix introduced.
"I'm Scraper.", Scraper added, Then, all three eyes landed on Lady, as she kept looking at the ground.
"Yeah. She don't talk much, until she warms up to you.", Mix pointed out. "Her names Lady.", Scraper said, while putting a arm around her.
"Lady...", Bulkhead tested out the name. "It doesn't seem to fit you.", Bulkhead continued.
"What is that suppose to mean?", Mixer asked, angrily. "Oh, no! I didn't mean it like that. It's just... I don't know. Lady doesn't seem like a good title for you.", Bulkhead told him.
Lady looked at him, cocking her head slightly. This bot had intrigued her.
Scraper then moved in front of her, blocking her from Bulkhead's sight. "Well, that's her name. Whether you like it or not.", Scraper said.
"Hey, what's your name?", Mix asked. "Bulkhead.", Bulkhead replied.
Once they were at the docks, they took some oil out of one of the boats. Bulkhead and Lady looked at it, uncertainly.
"You sure we should be doing this?", Bulkhead asked. "Hey! We worked hard for it, didn't we? And who's going to miss a few drops of oil anyway, huh?", Mix pointed out, bringing Lady into a shoulder hug, as he slammed his cup against hers.
This caused Mix to spill some of the oil on her. Lady quickly wiped it away.
Mix then began to drink the oil. "Good stuff! Fourty weights at least and not that synthetic junk either. Go for in, Bulky.", Mix continued.
Lady looked at Bulkhead, wondering what kind of decision he would make. He started drinking the oil.
That was it for her. Looking to Bulkhead's example, she started drinking her own oil.
"It is good!", Bulkhead exclaimed. "Yo, Mix, Bulky! Check it out!", Scraper exclaimed, as a car went driving by.
Lady facepalmed, wanting to shrink into her seat from her brothers embarrassing calls. "I don't think this is such a good idea, fellas.", Bulkhead spoke.
"Oh, come on! Don't be a puny little yellow compact.", Mix said, as they started making chicken noises. "Hey! My best friend is a puny little yellow compact.", Bulkhead defend.
"I thought we were your friends, Bulky.", Mix said. "I got lots of friends. Hey, you should meet them. They would love you guys.", Bulkhead cheered.
He then looked at Lady. "And Serenity would especially love you, Lady. It's been a while since she's has a another femn bot to talk to.", Bulkhead continued.
Lady smiled at that. "Hey, this Serenity. Is she cute?", Scraper asked.
"She's dropped dead gorgeous. She's also a princess.", Bulkhead praised. "Oh, yeah! Baby, we are there.", Mix cheered, as Scraper and him transformed and headed for the base.
"Wait, she already has a boyfriend!", Bulkhead called out. "Then, tell him he's got competition.", Mix yelled out.
As they drove off, Lady stood next to Bulkhead. He then looked down at her.
"You okay?", Bulkhead asked. She looked up at him, cocking her head.
"How old are you?", Lady asked. Bulkhead was surprised.
She talked and asked a weird question. "Why do you ask that?", Bulkhead asked her.
"Me and my brothers just came to life. We don't know much about the world. So far, you know more than we do. So, your wisdom has to be better than ours.", Lady replied. Bulkhead was shocked.
Was she saying he was smart? "You know, if you want to get a better understanding of things. You should talk to Serenity.", Bulkhead said.
She then smiled up at him. "What are the Autobots? What are the Decepticons? What's an Allspark? How is it that is brought us to life? How is this Serenity a princess? What is she the princess of?", Lady asked.
"Whoa! Slow down there. I thought you didn't like to talk.", Bulkhead said. She backed away then.
"I'm so sorry! I annoyed you-", Lady nervously said. "No, you didn't. You're just a harvester of information. That's a good thing.", Bulkhead told her.
"Harvester. I like that word.",
