Part 0 #2: Campfires with a little music.

(My pov): 3 am...

Once I came downstairs, I spotted the Autobot teammates in different places in the same place so I was first called in by Optimus & Elita and Ironhide & Chromia at the main food station, they were confused at the watermelon but then I decided to help them after everything I secretly put the effort in blossoming their relationships; Good thing I explained to them on the fruit that it was being harmless because Hide thought it was a Predacon egg which I was almost laughed because that was what Wheeljack from the Primeverse would say, nevertheless, I ended up chuckling. I felt awkward and left to the next bots, Arcee & Bumblebee, who were both at the dessert station, we started having curious questions at one another until, Ratchet & Prowl and Mudflaps & Skids went to the fruit station: Let's say that no one had to mess with the big mechs, why am I stating this? Because the Gremlin twins weren't allowed to sneak more of the desserts from the breakfast buffet.

Drift & I went to the tea section since we both have an interest in Asian culture, me being the most interested of all people/bots, I suggested he listen to Japanese, Chinese, and Korean anime shows along with K-C-J-Drama tv shows and songs which made him quite intrigued that he asked me out for a meditation session and I agreed that we do it after breakfast. Next, we headed to find Crosshairs and Hound & Jolt who were at the egg station, I told and motioned Drift to follow me: "Because if something bad happens, we might need to save the fearful chef from crazy loud bots." "That is very wise." Nodding, I said my 'good mornings' to them and explained to the chef from the mechs that they never tried any of his cooking before since they work in the army, it was a good way of lying and it made the chef comfortable she (yes the chef was a she) and started doing tricks that Jolt and Hound were impressed while Crosshairs and Drift began having a heated argument if you know what I mean~. Which caused them both to storm off to the others.

Meanwhile, I showed Hound and Jolt where we can join the others as I made my last stop at Mirage, Sideswipe, and Jazz, who happen to be at the sandwich station: "Hey guys, how's it going?" "Ship'shape up with these dishes, dudette. Never thought this is delicious!" Jazz answered excitedly, as he eats a ham cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes while I smiled before glancing at Sideswipe, who seemed to take 4 sandwiches on his plate before he handed me a club sandwich that I began to say: "Thanks Sideswipe." "No problem, c'mon we gotta eat with the others. Anyone got ideas?" Sideswipe asked while the boys and I caught up with the rest of the holoform bots before I thought of an idea, "How about we eat outside near the pool?" I suggested, Mirage crept a smile and spoke, "Eccellente, señora~. We shall." He takes me by the arm while escorting me away from Sideswipe, who playfully rolled his eyes. Meeting up and getting everyone's breakfast, we all headed to the outdoor table under a large tent that has 18 chairs near the pool.

"Hey, guys!" I waved at them, everyone gets comfortable in their seats, and put down their breakfast on the table along with their drinks that they had favorite fruit drinks: Optimus & Elita had gotten Watermelon, Jazz got a blueberry smoothie, Ratchet got orange juice, Ironhide & Chromia had taken a glass of pineapple, Dino/Mirage got a strawberry drink, Sideswipe, Mudflaps & Skids got piña colada cocktails, Crosshairs & Hound got coffee, and Drift got tea. As for me, I just brought a Strawberry soda and a glass of water, which got Ratchet scolding me for having an unhealthy drink but I told him otherwise, then after that, Jazz & I started talking about different genres of music, you always say that I was instantly into music and art when I was around DJ Jazz, who I genuinely felt a brother bond with him, it reminded me of my sister who I miss every single day and night, "Hey OP, Jazz starts up by talking about the leader couple, who turned to him: "Yes, Jazz?" "I got ya both a question."

"Go on." 'Uh oh, he's gonna ask him the "dirty question." ' Mentally freaking out while I continue listening to the conversation as Jazz crept his mouth with a slight smirk on his face: "How's the dinner night with yo girl?~" At this point, Elita blushed fifty shades of red before hiding her gaze away from the rest by looking up to her sparkmate, Optimus, who also blushed as he simply replied, "Well...as humans call it 'magical moment'. " The moment of the hour, the reaction of each bot around this table was priceless: Ratchet huffed but with a slight smirk that can be unnoticeable (except me, I saw it), Ironhide & Chromia gave smug looks, Crosshairs whistles with his toothpick out, Drift simply held an amused smile, Arcee squealed, Bumblebee widen his optics before eating more of his cereal, Hound, Jolt & Jazz bursts out laughing, and as for me, I almost choked my fruit punch while feeling my flushed cheeks seeing an image of lemon *cough* shots that can never be erased.

Damn me for having a dirty mind for every single fanfic I read of both male/female Autobots interfacing with each other; However, it didn't last long until we all decided to have a fun time in the pool where we all soon enough, began taking all the water guns from my bag that I had previously bought before the summer started, jumping in the pool, and starting their own mini-war while I joined in with divided the teams. I waved my hand at Ratchet to come help which he rejected but then suddenly, I gave a devilish idea! I swam to Sideswipe and whispered to him for assistance to which he agreed if I dance with him, not knowing what to say, I was dumbfounded before saying: "S-Sure. I continue, "Let me get Mirage & Jazz to join." Feeling my cheeks flaring up, I swam away from him so, I wouldn't fall for him but somehow, his charms are irreversible for any femme to fall for with my heart pounding but I won't say I minded, only made me feel guilty because of my stupid insecure nature of romance that I never EVER want to experience again.

Nevertheless, I hid it well from the others so they wouldn't know my true self about my paranoid and insecure fangirl side, promising that one day at a time I will learn that its different but, maybe if humans act like cybertronians; No one will feel negative like myself. So anyways, in my head, love wasn't going to be on my agenda, I rather take it slow as friends and date when I'm 22. Now that I said it to myself in my mind, I shook them off by thinking of something else before reaching out to the spy and second-in-command Autobots and telling them the plan on getting Ratchet wet. We 4 held devil smirks as we also bring Mudflaps and Skids to join in: "The one who can get Ratchet wet can ask me anything your sparks desire." "Sweet baby primus amen!" They both sync, both annoyed by one another, and they both playfully started tackling one another in the pool.

Once the quarrel of the gremlin twins ended, I decided to pull Elita into the water which made Optimus laugh for the first time, it made me smile as the others were shocked but joined in the laughing, and also, Ironhide got shot by a water gun. He joined in the fun as he growled, "Scoundrels" Before we all knew it, we swam like crazy chefs looking for another ratatouille, and him chasing us for getting him wet, was hilarious, and Crosshairs, he struggles to get out of the weapon specialist's grip and swimming run but fail in an attempt to run away, then everyone joined except for Ratchet & Optimus, they were discussing personal stuff but I decided to make matters into my own hands and by that, I was going to get Ratchet wet. Taking good aim, picking a hiding spot behind Hound, who was kind enough to let me hide as I slowly breathed in & out calmly when I muttered: "Hasta la vista, baby." One squirt of full water hit his body and head, he gasped in shock and angrily spoke: "Who did...that?!?" Everyone had their eyes on each other until he met my brown eyes.

The Autobot team wasn't going to help me, I knew that as some whispered, "May Primus protect you." "You will be missed." "Sorry for your life." I gave them all a look, 'oh-thanks-for-not-protecting-me' with my glare, and watched Ratchet get up, takes out a water wrench toy before growling loudly, "Amelia~ you are so gonna be offline, once I get you!" I squeaked before swimming down the water. He jumps in and started to swim like a shark from "JAWS" and once he got me, let's say I got a bit tortured in a wave of real wrenches. Later, it started to be the afternoon so, we all got out of the pool and headed inside to change, the one thing I heard from a grouchy voice saying: "Well...that was one heck of a breakfast," Ratchet muttered, as he was the last one to enter the hotel with the rest. Wet. XD

At night, we got into comfy clothes before heading outside to the beach where I made a reservation and got to the campfire location a couple of blocks away from the hotel, we made it near the beach, before me & Arcee and brought back some blankets for every one of their matching colors, "Having a good time so far?" I asked while handing the blankets to them, "It was an adventure!" "Yeah, babe" The Gremlin twins exclaimed excitedly, which got us all laughing, we all sat on the sand floor talking in cybertronian so I could improve which was helpful thanks to Hound & Crosshairs, who they started talking about stories of Cybertron, the places like Praxus (which I saw Sideswipe being uncomfortable but, I helped him calmed down), more of Kaon battles, funny jokes by the gremlin twins and many things.

And before anyone can say anything, I started singing in my deep voice by playing the guitar for everyone with Sideswipe, who happens to sit right next to me, but I ignore their shock faces and began:

" '1. 2. 3.~ *start the guitar*

I've been feeling so slow,

watch the clock ticking off the wall,

but tonight, I'm letting it go

spending my coin for sure~"

"-I'm gonna be myself,

Or I could be someone else,

No one's stopping me now,

I'm gonna skip my breaks,

I'm gonna make mistakes,

I just wanna feel alive

It's just what I do when I'm out so

Try not to hold me down,

Feel alive,

When I'm in this town,

Look at those beautiful stars,

I wanna drive a faster car,

Nothing can break me,

No no,

Nothing can break me-' "

While playing the guitar, I walk over to Elita-1 & Optimus Prime's side by motioning them to dance together, they got confused but then realizes what I was telling them with my movements and they both smiled as they dance in servo-in servo romantically, I smiled and walk to Ironhide & Chromia to do the same, it didn't take them long to follow along with everyone started smiling as I gave Mirage to play the guitar which he followed pursuit as Mudflaps pats his hand on his thigh by makings beats to the music as his gremlin twin, Skids clap his hands and I lift Ratchet's hand; Wondering if he wanted to dance but he declines softly which I nodded until I was pulled by Crosshairs. Who flirted while dancing with me, "Nice moves, Cross." "I learned a few more dance moves than you have ever imagined, cutey.~" He flirts more, causing me to blush and smile: 'Curse the Crosshair x reader fanfics, you damn inner mind!' I mentally yelled, and we kept dancing for a couple of minutes, I could feel his hand lowering to my lower back which I pray he doesn't do, when all of a sudden, my wish came true.

Drift takes my hand away from Crosshairs, who smirked and left to smoke with Hound, "He should not touch you in such an inappropriate manner, sakura." "I knew that, just didn't experience dancing with a flirt/pervert much like him. But deep down, Cross will learn from time to time." My cheeks calm down and were twirled around by him, we didn't speak after that as the song kept on, and felt a sibling bond happening with a smile crossing my face until I thanked him and moved back to the ground and continued singing. Everyone started dancing together like a couple while Mudflaps & Skids continued doing the beats with Bumblebee joining in by clap sounds, as for Sideswipe, he just joined to dance with me so I won't have to feel lonely:

" 'I'm gonna mistakes,

I'm gonna be myself,

I'm gonna be someone else,

I'm gonna be myself,

I'm gonna be someone else,

I'm gonna skip my breaks,

I'm gonna make mistakes,

I'm gonna skip my breaks,

I'm gonna make mistakes (x4)

Try not to hold me down~

feel the light when I'm in this town

Look at the beautiful stars

Nothing can break me, no no no' "

After that, we all went back inside our rooms but, before I got inside I heard someone saying: "Amelia, Wait up!" It was Sideswipe, he called me out and I turned to face him with a confused look before talking to him, "Hey, Sideswipe. I look up at him with curiosity, "Is there something you want to talk about?" "I-I-I uh...I don't! I mean I do but, it's just I w-wanted to ask you if y'know...go on a date with me." His face flushed by pleading his deep blue eyes at me, I wanted to decline but then I realized that his twin brother will most likely be found soon so, in order to get closer to searching Sunstreaker, I answered: "Sure, I will love to go on a date with you." His eyes widen and hug me, "Great! I'll pick you up around 8:30 p.m. Night, 'Melia."
