As Halloween approached, Sari had been buzzing around their base putting up decorations and telling them about what she called, "Trick or Treating" and all of the other human customs that Professor Sumdac was introducing to her. The gem was excited to say the least and her elevated emotions affected the two youngest members of Prime's team. They spent a lot their down time together, speaking vibrantly about Halloween and what costumes they were going to wear that night.

Optimus had listened in to Sari's conversation with Bumblebee and Bulkhead after a training session on night and wondered aloud, "why do you care so much about Earth customs, when you yourself are not of this planet?"

Sari looked up at him, smiling before she answered, "I don't have any memories from anywhere else but here. I know it seems kind of silly, but I want to celebrate the way the people here do since, this is the only home I've known."

Prime nodded, understanding her point. "I just think that our time would be better spent on training and patrolling the city," Optimus admitted, rubbing the back of his helm.

"What if I told you we could do both?" Sari responded causing Prime's optics to widen. "What better place to patrol then among the children? Starscream shows no mercy for anyone and if he wants to attack somewhere, the streets filled with children would be the best spot."

"That is a fair point, you three have my permission to go "Trick or Treating" but I expect you all to be on high alert," Optimus Prime stated in a serious tone, "and if you see Starscream do not engage him until I arrive or he does not give you another option."

"Understood," the three spoke in near unison before heading to the rec room to work on their disguises for the upcoming night. Optimus shook his helm at that, the last thing he expected was for Sari and his men to grow close in such a short period of time, but that is what happened. Bulkhead and Bumblebee trusted Sari; they shared a friendship that Optimus did not fully understand.

Optimus hated to admit it to himself, but the girl was definitely growing on him though he still did not trust her, he realized that Sari was trying her best to earn their trust. It was obvious Bumblebee trusted Sari to have his back and she felt the same towards him, they just understood each other. Prime had slowly begun to look at her as one of his own, a person that he needed to guide and teach everything he knows to.

Most of that month went on without a hitch and as Halloween approached, the bots training became more focused on civilian issues and how to lead a Decepticon away from a populated area and engage them where less damage would be caused.
