"Did you just-" I started.

"Did I what?" He asked and looked between me and the still frame of Meg. "Oh! Yes." He nodded, "I was afraid for a moment that I got you mixed up." He added.

"Are you still high?" I asked.

"I haven't quiet purged it from my systems but I think I'm rather stable." He said.

"Great," I said and looked down, "Why?" I asked.

"He killed our creation." He said as if it were a no brainer.

"Not on purpose." I said and turned him over, we both stared at him. "He looks kind cute when he's recharging." I noted. Optimus nodded in agreement.

"Still a murderer." He said.

"And a warlord." I added as he squinted awake. "You wanna try hold off on the murder?" I asked.

Optimus took a couple steps back as Megs wobblily got up. "What the frag?" He asked himself, somehow not having seen me, as he poked a tree.

"You good?" I asked, he jumped.

"Huh?" He looked utterly flabbergasted.

"What?" I asked.

"You look like me." He slurred.

"Um yea, we're brothers." I said, he blinked and spotted Optimus' frowning form.

"Orion, where the frag-" He started.

"Huh?" Optimus asked.

"What's going on?" Meg asked.

Did he hit his helm or something? Yea, yea he did. "What's the last thing you remember?" I asked.

"I was drinking." Meg said fondly as Oppy seemed to be having a panic attack.

"So you don't remember anything else?" I asked.

"No- I could charge you with identity theft-"

"Who'd want to be you?" I asked, he shrugged.

"Where are we?" He asked.

"On another planet-"

"Did you go to the gym?" He asked as he turned to Oppy.

"No-ye." He said.

"Are you having a stroke?" I asked.

He shrugged.

"We're on another planet?" Meg asked and looked around. "Eh!"

"Yea, you've got a bit of amnesia right now I guess." I told him.

"I forgot?"

"Yea."

"How?"

"He wacked you." I pointed at Oppy.

Megatron glared, "Why would you do that?" He asked, sounding hurt.

So Optimus being the smartest bot I know said: "I'm high."

"Yea, you've grown. I see that-"

"High on uranium." He added.

Megatron let that roll around for a moment before slapping him on the shoulder. "Finally decided to ditch Alpha Trion?" He asked proudly. I think Optimus very much wanted to jump in a ditch. He let out a squeak of discomfort. "How'd we get here anyway?" Megs asked.

"Cybertron's uninhabitable." Optimus said stiffly, Megatron blinked. "Your fault." He added.

"How?"

"You poisoned the planet-"

"With freedom?" He asked.

We exchanged glances as Megatron stared with wide hopeful optics, "Sure." We said in unison. He seemed pleased.

"Doesn't make much sense but I'll take it." He said fondly as he looked around happily, "It's very muddy." He noted.

"Yup." Optimus choked out.

"Are you alright?" He asked, "Need a hug?" He offered, he never offered me hugs!

"No-" Optimus started but it was already to late, he was engulfed in a hug.

"Argh." Meg said, "You're taller than me." He noted.

"Well yes, I upgraded twice." He said.

"I though you said gym-"

"That too." Optimus coughed and came out of the hug. Then hugged him again.

I watched full of jealously. Optimus was enjoying this way too much. Which wasn't much, but too much.

"Soooo.... How did we get here?" Meg asked again.

"Ahhh...." I started, "On a warship?" I suggested, "Because of the war."

"War?"

"Yea, between you two." I said and pointed at the guy who was hugging him.

"Hmm." Optimus nodded.

"And you're gonna exploit this?" Meg asked.

"No no." Optimus shook his helm, "Enjoy it while it lasts." He said as they came out of the hug.

"Hmm, well, I take it that I was winning." Meg said.

"No-"

"Yes-"

"Just go with a tie." I suggested and remembered Egg, Guess what.

You're sparked again! Egg asked.

Nah, Megs got a bit of amnesia, thinks Optimus is his pal. I told her.

Really? She asked. Is Optimus there? She asked.

Yea, Megs just challenged him to a spar. I added.

Then what makes you think he's got Amnesia? She asked.

Hold on, Megatron just slapped his aft- I started, "Don't you dare!" I yelled at him.

"Huh?"

"He's mine." I crossed my arms as Optimus blushed a little.

"Scandalous aren't you?" He teased Oppy, "Can't say you had much to choose from." He added.

"I'm awesome." I defended as they started to spar again. There was way to much aft smacks on both sides I think.

They both enjoyed themselves, a lot. More than I would've liked. I just watched jealously, and let Egg comfort me through the trauma. However, once it got darker, Ratchet demanded Optimus to return.

"Oh well." Megs sighed as he left, "He's still a derp." He added.

"Oh?" I asked, rather snappishly.

"Yup, I bet he still keeps a diary somewhere- Do I have a warship?" He asked excitedly.

"Yup."

"Am I still sexually active?" He asked.

"Umm." How should I know that? "Yup, remember Soundwave?" I asked. He grin shot to the sun, I swear. "I could call for a ground bridge." I proposed.

He nodded frantically.

"We can take you to the medbay too." I added and paused, since when was I mature? I called for a bridge and one popped up.

"Hold on." Meg started, "Where are my treads?" He asked and checked his back.

"Huh?"

"For my alt." He said and transformed, flopping to the floor as a jet, "HUh?"

"Your alt is a jet." I told him.

"I used to be a tank!" He complained and tried to take off.

"We can practice flying on the ship." I told him as he flew into a tree.
