Summery: (AU G1) What if there was no such thing as Autobots or Decepticons? No divider between the races of Cybertronians? A time where a Cybertronian can chose where to live and what they do? Where a young mech came to Earth to follow a dream.

The Golden Age of Peace

Chapter 3

Soon, the festivities began. Music played by Soundwave and Blaster fills the room. The two were happily DJ-ing the get together. Lightstreak slowly entered the room now, having taken the time to calm down and properly place her gift from Bumblebee on a shelf. Bumblebee was already talking with Prowl, Jazz, and his other friends. He was catching up with those who came from Cybertron, like Prowl's parents. No one notice a femme and mech walking into the room. Lightstreak noticed Purity laughing and having fun with Angel while Prowl and Snowcat did their own thing. She went over to them. "What's so funny?" she asked with a smile.

"Oh, we were just talking about you when you were a sparkling." Lightstreak started blushing.

"Aww, don't worry," smiled Angel. "We were talking about Prowl too." The femme and mech walked over to where Jazz was.

Prowl, Bumblebee, and Optimus smiled at the two. The mech had a similar black and white color scheme to Jazz's. The femme had a similar build to the mech, but she was slimmer with more curves to her frame. She was all black with silver trim. The femme slowly placed a hand on Jazz's shoulder. "Jazz." He gasped at the familiar voice and familiar touch. He swallowed hard and slowly turned around. The pair smiled at him.

"...Mom..."

The femme smiled. "Hello son." the mech said with his own smile.

"I...I didn't think you were...were coming... I-It's been so long..."

"Yes but we wanted to see you." the femme said.

"You didn't think we'd forget you on Primus Day, did you?" the mech smiled as he patted Jazz on the shoulder.

"Meister, Treble, it's good to see you again," smiled Snowcat.

"My, you've grown quite a bit since I last saw you," smiled Treble as she got a better look at the white medic. Snowcat smiled.

"Yes, I've grown very much," she smiled. She put her hand on her chest.

"Are you carrying?" Treble said with a smile.

Snowcat was surprised at first, but then she smiled. "...Twins..."

"Twins are quite rare. I bet you are excited to be a Grandfather, Ratchet."

"Yes, very," he smiled.

"Who's the lucky mech, eh?" smiled Meister.

"Prowl." Snowcat said with a smile. Prowl blushed as the two smiled. Jazz grew sad. A moment ago, his parents were overjoyed to see him, now they were fondling over Snowcat and Prowl.

Prowl noticed this. "Aren't you two...here to see Jazz..." Prowl said.

"Oh...I'm so sorry, dear..." Treble said. She came over and hugged Jazz tightly. "We missed you very much."

"We wanted to surprise you," smiled Meister. "Have you been enjoying Earth so far?" Jazz didn't say anything as he hid his tears of joy in his mother's embrace. Meister could feel it in his spark. "Well, why don't you show us your room? Maybe give us a tour, son?"

"Yes, that would be good," smiled Treble. Prowl and the others took the hint and let them leave. Lightstreak at that moment had spotted Bumblebee talking to some of the other minibots. She took a deep breath and headed over to them. Now that she had a new relationship to look forward to, they didn't scare her as much anymore.

"…That was one mission I'll never forget," laughed Cliffjumper.

"…Yeah…" laughed Bumblebee as the red mini-bot finished telling about one of his past missions that turned into one of the most hilarious short comings of the sharp shooter. The gang all laughed as the memories came back to them.

"…H-Hi Bumblebee," Lightstreak smiled shyly. She hid a gift she had managed to throw together behind her back.

"Hey! Who invited you into the conversation, runt?"

"Yeah, I was talking about MY missions with MY friends."

"I-I…I'm a minibot too…" she said, determined to stand her ground.

"No way," agreed Brawn. "You're not even big enough to compete with a sparkling."

"Hey guys, leave her alone," Bumblebee said as he walked over to her.

"Why you sticking up for the pipsqueak? You like her or something," one of the others said. Bumblebee just stared at them. Lightstreak looked up at him and then at the others. He only smiled at her.

"You DO?" Gears practically yelled.

"You're not serious, are you?" asked Windcharger.

"I am." They all laughed.

"This is a Primus Day joke, right?"

"Yeah, he's trying to do that Fool's Day thing early," smiled Brawn.

"HMPH! So what if he loves me?" shouted Lightstreak. "Why do you care?"

"No one asked you!" Gears said as he shoved her away from Bumblebee.

"Hey!" both Bumblebee and Lightstreak said together.

"I can't believe you're serious," said Windcharger.

"Why are you all so judgmental? HUH? We're all Cybertronians here. What's it matter? She was SPARKED that way! She can't help it!"

"B-Bumblebee I…I made you…a present…" she said as she checked to make sure the box wasn't damaged in her shove. She tried to give it to him.

"What's this thing?" asked Gears. "It's ugly and looks like it's from used wrapping paper." He took it from her protesting hands. She pouted at him as he laughed at it.

"I can't believe this! You all are acting like drunk sparklings! You're acting like the racist humans of this planet!" he exclaimed. Everyone looked over as his yelling caught most of the room's attention. People had stopped in the middle of eating, drinking, or exchanging gifts.

"Please give me my gift back," Lightstreak almost whispered. She could feel everyone staring at her. Gears tossed the gift to Brawn.

"Why are you all so immature! I can't believe I call you friends!" He huffed angrily, wrenching the gift from Windcharger and thrusting it in Lightstreak's hands. "Here!" he snapped, not really angry at her. He left the room. Everyone watched Bumblebee leave before turning towards Lightstreak.

"THANKS A LOT YOU JERKS! NOW HE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE!" she said letting all her anger and new strength burst forth. She ran from the room crying. Everyone slowly went back to what they were doing. Prowl and SnowCat, Optimus and Elita, and Ratchet came over.

"Explain to me what happened, NOW," the Prime said looking very disappointed.

"Well we…"

"That is to say we only…"

"You were NOT treating her very fairly at all," glared Elita One. "Who are YOU to judge Bumblebee's relationship choices? It's his decision to make, NOT yours!"

"Optimus, let me detain them in their rooms for the rest of the festivities," suggested Prowl.

"I think that's a great idea," agreed Ratchet. "If not, then I'LL have a go at them and you do NOT want to know what I have in store for them."

"…Ratchet…" the Cybertronian leader warned. "Prowl, you and Ratchet take them to their quarters for a lock down. I'm very disappointed in you all. We are all the same race. Bumblebee was right. You ARE acting like the humans of this planet. That is unacceptable. I will have to have a talk with Ultra Magnus about this before I return home." Elita One took hold of his arm in an embrace and rubbed his hand to calm him down.

"Don't let it ruin the Holiday, Orion. Everyone else deserves to enjoy it."

"I'm sorry, Elita…"

"It's alright. I'm disappointed too." SnowCat patted her chest to calm the pulsing sparks within.

Meanwhile, Lightstreak was knocking on Bumblebee's door. "Bee…i-it's me… Please let me in…I…I still have…your present," she sniffled new tears falling. "…Please…don't hate me…"

"Here you are," smiled Purity as she flew over and hugged Lightstreak around her middle. She nuzzled against her stomach plating in a soothing manner. "Calm down, it's alright…" she cooed, focusing on calming the weak spark within more than Lightstreak's emotions. "It's great that Bee loves you back. I knew he would."

"…H-He doesn't…not anymore…"

"Light, that wasn't your fault. It was those stupid Meanie-bots."

She shook her head. "Purity…thanks…but please…just let me do this…" she sniffled. "I…I need to talk to him…just me and him…" She tried to wipe away the falling coolant without dropping the gift.

"You're sure?"

"…Y-yeah…" she sobbed. "I need to know…please…"

"Alright…I'll be with Angel and Snow okay?" Lightstreak only nodded and knocked on the door again as the purple Spark Guardian flew off.

"Bumblebee please!" she sobbed. "Don't hate me…!" The door opened and he stepped out.

"Lightstreak, you alright? They didn't hurt you did they?"

"…N-no…YOU did…" Bumblebee stared at her, then everything came back to him more clearly. He had calmed down enough to realize what he had done.

"Oh Light…I'm so sorry… I wasn't mad at YOU," he said as wiped the coolant from her face and lifted it to face him. "I just thought maybe they would be cool about everything because of today."

"I-I…I made a gift for you…"

"Oh yeah!" He led her into his room. He helped her sit down on his berth before quickly taking the gift from her. She watched nervously as he tore through the reused wrapping paper. "Oh wow!" Inside was a data-pad full of picture files of the two of them.

"I…I was collecting pictures for awhile. I-I hope you don't think I'm a stalker…"

"No…of course not. Thanks a lot, Light."

"I-I know it's not as great as your present, but…"

"No, it's alright. It's the thought that counts. Do you want to get back or you want to stay here awhile?"

"…C-Can we stay here…?"

"Yeah, sure, but we have to get back sometime. Besides, we can't hide our relationship much longer. Especially after we bond. People will find out sooner or later."

"I…I know…I just…"

"Don't worry about what others think. I don't. I never did. Sometimes I don't even like Optimus or Prowl patronizing me too much and I have to tune them out. We can stay here for a little while so you can calm down. I'll go get us some warm energon, alright? I'll be back soon." He kissed her forehead sweetly as their first show of affection. She blushed a bit, smiling as he left. As his door closed she collapsed with a tired sigh. She quickly fell asleep on his berth. Bumblebee returned shortly after. "Alright, Lightstreak he-..." He smiled and set down the steaming mugs. "Poor Light must have worn herself out from everything..."

"It will happen," smiled Purity. She had come to check on her charge.

"I didn't see you come in behind me."

"Sorry, I was just making sure she was alright. Her weak spark can't take as much emotional stimulation as yours. You'll have to let her rest or at least calm down when she goes through something to cause her to tire out. Once you two bond, you'll be just as much in charge of her spark as I am."

"...I...I'll do the best I can for her, but..."

"Don't worry," she smiled as she held his hand in both of hers. "You may not have the powers of a spark guardian, but you'll do just fine. I'll leave you two alone for good now. I know she's in good hands." Bumblebee watched the purple femme fly off to rejoin the Primus Day celebration. He smiled at her sleeping form as his door closed. He got up, engaged the lock and then went over to watch her sleep. He kissed her forehead again.

"Sweet dream cycle, Lightstreak..."

Jazz was showing his parents his room. His father was admiring his collection of music while his mother tidied up a little and studied his organization. "Made any new friends here?" Treble asked.

"...Yes, I have," smiled Jazz, slowly regaining his composure at seeing his parents.

"That's good to know. Blaster and Soundwave couldn't have been your only friends."

"No... I've made friends with Prowl and his mate and Bumblebee too." His parents smiled.

"Mate...hmm... Have you thought about one dear?" Treble asked him.

Jazz started to blush. "Mom..."

She just smiled. "Sorry, Jazz dear," she said as she pat his shoulder. "It will come in time."

"So...have you decided on an occupation?" smiled Meister.

"I'm going to be a musician."

"That's wonderful dear!" Treble smiled as she practically glomped him.

"You always did love music, just like yer old man," Meister smiled.

"Oh..." Treble cooed. She smirked and the motherly light in her optics turned into a mischievous glint.

"Mom...what are you thinking..." Jazz asked worried.

"Oh...nothing..."

"Come on, Son. Let's go back to the festivities," Meister grinned. "I believe your mother wants to talk to your friends." He gently shoved Jazz towards the door as his spark carrier turned down the hall. Jazz was a bit unsure what his mother was planning. He reluctantly let his father lead him back into the Recreation Room. The party was still going strong when they came back. Treble was talking with Blaster and Soundwave as Meister brought Jazz over. He sighed heavily, still not sure what his mother was planning. Blaster then had this huge smile on his face.

Soundwave smiled at Jazz and turned the music down. "And now, fellow Cybertronians... We'd like to give you all a special, Primus Day treat. One of our own is going to perform for us."

Jazz stared at his mother and his two friends, then his visor glowed brightly. "...N-No way... Mom! You didn't..."

"You got to show everyone your talent." his mother smiled.

"...But...I..."

"Go on, son. I know you'll do just fine. Besides, think of it as your first gig." Jazz sighed heavily and let his mother and father push him towards a crudly set up stage. Everyone else looked up at the stage curiously, a few smiled to see Jazz walking up to a microphone. He sighed and looked nervously out at the crowd. He glared a bit at his parents. They only smiled.

"I know you can do this, man," smiled Blaster. Soundwave gave Jazz a thumb's up with a smile in his optics.

"…Well…Happy Primus Day, everyone. Guess my parents and my friends want me to sing for you guys." There were a few smiles and laughs. "Most of you don't know this yet, but… I came here to fulfill a dream, a dream to be a singer. So…I guess I should start now. Today's a good day to make dreams come true, am I right?" There were smiles, nods, laughs, and encouraging shouts in the crowd of Cybertronians. "Well…hope you all don't boo me off the stage when I'm done," he laughed. He nodded towards Blaster and Soundwave. They nodded back. "Alright, here's one of my favorite Earth songs." He took a deep breath and started singing "Help". His creators smiled and Blaster could only smirk happily. Prowl was amazed at how well his new friend could sing. "...Help me, help me..." Jazz waited as he finished the song. Everyone clapped, some applauded louder than others. His mother was almost crying.

"Awesome man," smiled Blaster. "Ready for another one?"

"Another one?" Jazz said a bit surprised.

"Yeah. You can do it. You were awesome. Look, even Prime liked it."

"I think you should do another song too," agreed Soundwave. "You're very good," he said, a smile in his optics.

Jazz turned to his fellow Cybertronians. "You guys think I should sing another song?"

"I think you should." Snowcat said with a smile.

"Yes, you're great! Sing another one!" smiled Elita One.

Most of the crowd said the same. "Well alright!" Prowl smiled again. Jazz talked with Blaster a moment before starting another song.

At that moment, Lightstreak slowly awoke. "Hey, Bumblebee," she smiled sleepily. She bolted into a sitting position with a yelp. "I...I'm on your bed...in your room...What? How?"

"Remember, you fell asleep."

"...Oh...that's right. I'm sorry..."

"Don't be," he smiled. "Purity explained it to me. Besides, I'm sure you were tired from all the stress the others have put you through today."

"Yeah," she smiled, blushing as he took her hand.

"Let's get back to the festivities," he said, helping her up.

"Okay." Bumblebee smiled and led her out of his room. "Bumblebee...?"

"Hmmm?"

"I feel stronger around you."

"Really?"

"...Yeah..." she smiled.

"Thanks..." he smiled back. "Is...Is THAT Jazz up there singing?" he asked as they entered the Recreation Room. Lightstreak blinked in surprise. "It is!" smiled Bumblebee. "That's great. You know, he wants to be a singer."

"I just want to be strong and have everyone look at me without laughing."

"That's a great goal."

Lightstreak just smiled as they worked their way over to Prowl and the others. "Thanks guys! I think I'll step down now. Three songs is a good number for my first time. Thank you all for the support."

"Awww that's too bad. We missed most of it." Bumblebee said.

"That's alright. I'm sure we'll get to see him sing sometime."

"Holding hands are we?" smiled SnowCat. Lightstreak blushed.

Bumblebee only smiled. "So, you've made it official," smiled Elita One.

"Yeah." Bumblebee said.

"Mmhmm," blushed Lightstreak.

"I thought so," smiled Optimus.

Prowl smiled as well. "I knew you two were good for each other," he said.

Jazz helped Blaster and Soundwave DJ for the rest of the night. His parents stayed close to watch him. Everyone else continued enjoying the festivities of Primus Day. "Good choice, Bumblebee," smiled Ratchet.

"Thanks."

"You've grown up so much," he said to Lightstreak.

"Thank you."

"So, speaking of couples," smiled SnowCat. "I have a Primus Day gift for you, Prowl."

"You didn't have to get me anything."

"Fine then, I'll take it back," she smiled as she withdrew the gift.

Prowl couldn't help but laugh. "Okay if you insist."

SnowCat laughed too as she thrust the gift into his lap. She kissed him on the chevron. "Just open it, you."

"Okay," Prowl said as he started to open it. SnowCat smiled eagerly. "...A...A pillow? What's the pillow for, Snow?"

"For those late nights at the office when you refuse to come to bed," she smiled.

"Oh...I see."

"Speaking of, I got you something too," Ratchet said as he handed him a rectangular gift.

"Should I be worried?" Prowl asked as he looked at his father-in-law.

"Maybe."

"Dad..." SnowCat smirked. Prowl slowly opened up the gift.

Inside was a data pad. "...Alright..." he said as he turned it on. There was a schedule chart for the next few months. Prowl raise an optic ridge in confusion.

"No more workaholic late nights for you. It's not good for spark. Besides, you'll be a father soon. Your sparklings will need you." Prowl sighed, he figured Ratchet would get on his case about that sooner or later.

"Father..." SnowCat sighed.

"It's suggestive," he smiled.

"Thank you, Ratchet. I'll take it into consideration." Ratchet smiled again.

Moonshine handed Prowl a gift too. "Here, sweetie." Prowl couldn't help but smile at his mother before he started to open it. "It's from both of us," she smiled.

"...What...?" he withdrew a smaller data pad and turned it on. It streamed videos and pictures of his parents.

"It's to look at when ever we're not on Earth." Stalker said.

"So we're always with you, in a way. You like it?"

"I...I love it." Prowl said.

"Me and Smokescreen got the same thing!" Bluestreak said happily.

"Sorry, we just thought you mechs would appreciate something like that," smiled Stalker.

"It's better than something cutesy," said Smokescreen. Moonshine smiled at her children. They all smiled back. The rest of the night started to wind down as it got late.

"That's a wrap, everyone. Hope you all had a great Primus Day," smiled Jazz as they started to break everything down.

"So, Optimus, going to leave tomorrow?" asked Ultra Magnus to the Prime.

"No, I think Elita and I are going to stay a little while. We want to have a nice visit."

"I'm sure we'll find room for you."

"Thanks, old friend." Optimus said.

Elita One hugged him and leaned against him. "Orion?"

"It's late. We're going to bed for the night."

"Have a good night, Prime." Stalker said.

"Thank you."

"You all are welcome to stay too," she smiled.

"I think we will," smiled Moonshine. "Come Stalker."

Everyone else started to retire to their respective quarters. "Walk you to your room, Light?" smiled Bumblebee.

"I'd like that," she smiled. Bumblebee took her hand and the two left. Lightstreak smiled as the two held hands walking down the hall. Bumblebee smiled back at her. They walked a little closer. A drunk Sideswipe and Sunstreaker came up to them in the hall.

"Who ho... Hello there lovebirds..." smirked Sideswipe.

"Wow! You finally landed one, Bumble...Bumblebee..."

"You two got into the high grade." Bumblebee said.

"Sideswipe...please leave us alone..." Lightstreak spoke kindly. "You're not well."

"We're just having fun, pipsqueak. You know, Bee, you can do better than her..." Sunstreaker said.

"C'mon Sunshine...be nice... Bumble...can interface with whoever he wants..." Lightstreak hid and blushed a deep red.

"I'm just...saying..."

"Guys! That's enough... I...I'm just taking her back to her quarters. Lay off the high grade next time okay?" he said as he tried to lead her past them.

Sideswipe winked at her. "Good choice, Light...hic..."

"Get it on tonight, Bee," Sunstreaker laughed as they went by.

"Gee...that was scary..."

"Yeah... Sunstreaker's not great to be around, but when he's drunk it's worse... Luckily, Sideswipe is a tame drunk."

"...That's good..."

Bumblebee put an arm around her and hugged her. "Relax, it's alright. We're all pretty close here."

"Okay."

"Well, here we are..."

"Yeah... I... I had a great time..."

"I'll take ya on a real date sometime."

She blushed. "Thanks..." She leaned close for a moment. Bumblebee was unsure if he should kiss her or not. Lightstreak happily stared at him. "...It-It's okay...if you want to..." Bumblebee blushed before quickly giving her a kiss. Lightstreak squeaked a little bit. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Goodnight, Bee."

"Goodnight, Lightstreak. See you tomorrow." She nodded before her door slid shut and locked.

"Well?" Purity smiled.

"EEEEEEE!" Purity smiled more.

"It's been a long Primus Day for you. Off to bed now."

"I don't think I could sleep, Purity. I'm far too happy."

"You can try."

"...Yeah...I suppose I should..." She went over to her bed and switched off the lights. Goodnight, Purity."

"Night, Light," she smiled, curling up next to her charge.

Prowl and SnowCat was in their quarters with Angel. "Twins! That is so wonderful!"

"Oh! I think one of them just pulsed," smiled SnowCat. Prowl smiled happily.

"Is...Is it okay if I feel?" Angel asked.

"Sure." SnowCat said with a smile. Both sparklings pulsed as Angel gently felt SnowCat's spark chamber. Angel smiled a big smile.

"They're very strong."

"Yep." SnowCat said. Angel withdrew her hand. Prowl smiled as well.

"We should get some sleep," smiled Snowcat.

"Yes," agreed Prowl.

"I agree." said Angel. The three of them went over to lie down. Angel got close to her charge.

"Goodnight SnowCat," Prowl said as he kissed her.

"Goodnight Prowl. Goodnight Angel."

"Goodnight Snowcat," smiled Angel. The three closed their eyes and went to sleep.
