A week later, Jadefire left the med bay, holding her usual datapad of information close to her chassis.

"So, have you considered my offer?"

She nearly dropped the datapad in surprise, not expecting to be addressed. She looked behind her, only to see Sideswipe. "I have, and it is with deepest regrets that I must inform you that I do not wish to take you up on the offer."

Sideswipe looked after her as she walked away, almost too stunned for words. "What? Why?" He rolled forward to keep up with her as she walked.

"Sides, you're a nice mech, really. You're just… not what I'm looking for. I'm sorry. Truly."

He grabbed on to her arm, making her look at him. "Why won't you give it a shot?"

"Sideswipe, you're hurting me."

"Just answer the question."

"Is there a problem here?"

The two turned to see Ironhide rounding a corner, glaring at them. Sideswipe looked down and saw his hand around her arm. "Think about it, all right?" he muttered before letting go and leaving down the hall.

Ironhide glanced back to Jadefire once he was out of sight, seeing her gather her datapad properly again. "You all right?"

"Yeah. Nothing I couldn't have handled if it got out of hand. Thanks, by the way." She grew sort of uneasy. "Better get these reports to Optimus, or Ratchet will have my afterburners."

"Was heading that way myself, if you don't mind a companion."

"Oh, um, sure."

"Are you liking it here so far?" he asked as they resumed their travels to their destination.

She laughed a bit. "Compared to that tiny ship? Loving it here. Reuniting with people I haven't seen in such a long time. Wish I could see more of Diego Garcia though."

"Learning a lot from Ratchet?"

"Yeah, have to if I'm going to be assisting him in repairing you guys."

"Ah, so you get to play nurse."

She nodded. "Yeah, I suppose."

He smirked, noticing she had yet to look at him. "Y'know, the human women here have outfits they claim are for nursing, yet clearly aren't."

If she could have she would have flushed a furious crimson as she remembered what Sam's girlfriend had worn on that human holiday Halloween last month. "I, ah—I won't be that sort of nurse." What in the All Spark is he up to? She attempted to change the subject. "So, um, how's life for you been? Before we all got separated, I was still in the academy at Iacon when I saw you last."

"You were about to graduate, if I remember correctly."

"Yeah, before Cybertron really gave out and we had to evacuate. I remember seeing you trying hard to get Chromia out all right."

"Yes. Stubborn femme wouldn't leave. Had to bribe her. We… lost contact with the ship she was on some time ago, however."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have—"

"It's fine. I accepted all the possibilities. What about you? Did you meet someone yet?"

"Never gave most mechs a second glance. They were all… immature younglings. None I could count on. So, no, haven't done anything of anything yet."

"So no one to this day's caught your attention?"

…Scrap."Um, well, sort of." They stopped short as they reached their destination. Saved! "So, guess this is where we do our own thing again."

"Ratchet's got you the rest of the day?"

"Yeah, we're working on reattaching limbs today. Says it's a common sight in the big battles."

"What about after your lessons?"

"Uh, nothing, really." Is he… interested in me? …Couldn't be. Then again, he has been acting funny the past wee—Oh that Glitch-head!

"We should catch up. Make sure what you learned at school isn't going to waste."

Her circuits were crossed with anger and nerves. I will kill Icestriker when I see him next. "Y-yeah, we can do that."

At that moment, and alarm went off, signaling Decepticon activity. "Punks just won't give up. I'll come find you when we get back."

"Sure…" she said to his retreating back. She was startled by the door behind her opening to reveal Optimus. "Oh, hello Sir."

"Ratchet's weekly report, I gather?"

"Yep, but I see you're busy. Should I just leave them on your desk?"

"That'd be great. I'll have a look when we return. Let Ratchet know he'll have a new shipment of Energon by Friday."

"Yes Sir. Happy hunting."

Icestiker's voice permeated the interior of the Topkick, "You hit on my sister?!"

"I told you I'd indulge her."

"Yes but you also said you'd do that if you liked them." Icestriker's '99 Corolla mode stalled for a fraction of a second. "You like my sister?!"

"Gave it some thought, saw no harm in letting her explore." Icestriker's voice sputtered through the comlink. "Look, Kid, who am I to give her a bad first impression after all those years of saving herself? Not that I want the full deal, but still the general idea of the situation."

The young mech sighed in defeat. "All right. A couple of dates then, but that's it!"

They cut the private link to focus on their orders from Optimus.

"So now we'll go in and—Jade, are you even paying attention?"

"Hm?" Jadefire snapped back to reality. "Yes. Um, yeah, the soldering iron, hold on."

Ratchet sighed as she moved to get the tool. "Something happened."

"Nothing happened." She handed him the tool. "I'm just distracted today."

"Meaning something happened. Focus for just two more hours, then you're free the rest of the night."

"Oh all right. So what's next?"

"When reattaching a limb, we start by reattaching the sensory network involved. May need to strip a few wires here and there, but it's easy work." He handed her a test forearm and hand, one with a purposely broken wrist. "Fix it."
