POV. Optimus Prime

"I'm coming in" came a heavily accented voice of the femmeling came through the door before it opened. The femmeling came back towards us pulling a cart into the room. The cart was filled with different types of food that some they did not recognized in their time in the United States. After pulling the cart inside the room she shut the door and turned towards us and started speaking "I did not know what you would like or if there were any allergies, so I apologize in advance if you do not like it"

She grabbed the small but long foldable table from under the cart and started unfolding. She then started grabbing the food from off the cart and placed it on the table spread out.

"I wish to thank you for your hospitality" I said finally speaking

"It is not problem at all if you need anything then please do not hesitate to ring the bell" She said gesturing over to the wall that held the bell before opening the door and leaving taking the cart with her.

We all sat here in silence for a moment staring at the food to make sure she was really gone before anyone said anything.

"We are not going to eat the food right?" Red Alert said "She could have poisoned it and How do we know she has not already told them our location?" He continued starting to freak out "How do we know they are not already here and not trying to give us a false sense of security before they attack?"

"Woah, there Red it's going to be okay" Inferno said trying to calm Red Alert down before he hurt himself. "I doubt the little femme would go through all this trouble just to get us hauled away in the end."

"We don't know that for sure" Red Alert argued

"Red Alert is correct" Prowl stated "We do not know the femme's intentions towards us, whether they are genuine or not"

"It's most likely not" Sunstreaker muttered quietly, leaning against his twin slightly, getting snorts of agreement from around the room

"That is enough" I finally said "Whether they have good intentions or not we will do nothing at the moment"

"But Prime" Ironhide interrupted

"No, we will do nothing" I continued "They are just children too, have we lost so much that we are willing to stoop so low as to hurt younglings?"

This caused everyone to stop and think about that. This war against the Deceptions and now the humans have taken a great toll on everyone. We are all tired of fighting and losing more friends and families. Tired of killing and harming others. How long has it been since the war started and how much longer till it ends? Will it ever end or will it end with the extinction of our race?

"Optimus" Elita quietly said looking at me concerned sensing my inner turmoil. I looked at her and shook my head and said "I am alright, dearspark, do not worry"

At the corner of my eye I saw Barricade tense up. I frowned and asked him what is wrong. "I hear multiple footsteps heading this way" He replied

Everyone fell silent again watching the door to see what would happen. Now that it was quiet we could all hear the footsteps coming and stopping in front the door. The door slides open and the younglings from earlier came in closing the door behind them. Everybody stared at each silently as if they were trying to size each other up. The silence between both groups kept becoming tenser and tenser by the second.

"Are you children not supposed to work on your chores that was assigned to you by your caretaker?" Prowl asked breaking the silence. His spark throbbing in longing at the sight of the children and wishing he could see his own.

Jazz, feeling the longing through their bond, looked at him silently in understanding and longing of his own. After they had all sent the sparklings off of Cybertron their creator and creation bonds became heavily strained to the point where they could only feel them once in a while.

"We are" Willow replied bringing Jazz out if his thoughts "But we are still curious." she said with her hands on her hips, looking over everyone slowly.

"Yeah" Cyrus continued his roaming over the food their sister had made "It's not like we find a bunch of people out in the woods, injured and unconscious, all the time"

"So excuse us for being curious" Imani finished

"Your caretaker did not seem to mind not knowing" Ironhide started but was interrupted by Sunstreaker.

"But, don't worry we will not be staying long"

"Well, just because Big Sister doesn't care doesn't mean we don't" Willow stated taking her hands off her waist and crossing it over her chest huffily.

"Do you not trust her to take care of you and have your best interest at heart?" Prowl questioned wondering if perhaps their caretaker was not taking good care of them.

"Of course but …" Willow started

"But nothing" Pandora interrupted walking in "Sorry for the intrusion" she said to her guests "But I realized I did not give you any proper eating utensils" Pandora turned back to the children "it seems I was not clear enough when I said that you all have chores that must be done"

"Yeah but…..." The children said together

"I believe you should go finish them" she said "Now"

"Yes big sister" they mumbled heading to the sliding door

She watched the children leave before taking a deep breath and turning back to her guests "I am sorry about them" she said bowing slightly to them

"Do not worry they are till just children" Optimus said before anyone else could say anything else.

"But they do bring up a good point" Barricade said

"Oh?"

"Yes, why is it that you do not question why we were laying injured in the forest?" He continued seeing as he had her attention.

"That is because it is not my place to know and you do not want to tell me and or want me to know" She said matter of factly.

"So we could be internationally wanted criminals and could kill you while you're not paying attention for all you know"

"I choose to see the good in people" she said "But I would appreciate you not killing me, I have many responsibilities that must be taken care of" she finished smiling blandly

He snorted shaking his head before saying "That is a naïve way of looking at life and can get you killed"

"I am not saying that I don't realize people can do bad things, it is just that everyone does thing for a reason, so I do not have a right to judge anyone without knowing why or what caused them to do it"

He snorted and shook his again but not saying anything. Everyone else was silent contemplating what she said.

"Well, I must be going" Pandora said after a moment of silence. She turned towards the cart and placed the utensils on there before bowing slightly to them and leaving, slowly sliding the door closed.
