Death

Samuel Witwicky did not have to take a guess when he saw his parent's face when they got off the phone. 

"Mom? Dad?"

Judy sighed and hugged Sam, 

"Oh Sam,"

Sam was completely lost, 

"What's going on?"

He could feel his mother's tears on his shirt as his father sighed, 

"That was the government,"

Sam shook his head, 

"Why...why would the government call us?"

Judy finally pulled away from Sam,

"Your sister...she's gone Sam,"

Sam immediately shook his head in disbelief, 

"What?! No no your lying! that's funny guys b-but come on,"

Ron shook his head with a sigh, 

"It's...it's not a joke son, Mazikeen died when their base was attacked,"

Sam looked at them calmly and nodded slowly before running out of the house and into the garage, he heard them yelling but they didn't chase them. He ran into the garage and yelled, 

"ROVER!"

The little droid immediately popped up from in a box and waved at him, 

"Hello Sam,"

Sam immediately grabbed the robot and hugged him closely, 

"What happened, Sam?"

Sam burst into tears, 

"I-It's Maze,"

Rover put his arms around Sam's torso as best as he could with his small size, 

"What happened to Mazikeen?"

"Sh-She's dead,"

"Oh-"

Sam pulled away from the robot as he saw his eyes darken,

"Are you okay Rover?"

Rover shook his head, 

"I do not know, Sam...I feel empty...and it is not because I require fuel, am I malfunctioning?"

Sam frowned and shook his head, 

"No, I feel empty inside too. It's from grief,"

"Grief?"

Sam nodded sadly, 

"It hurts...I won't ever see Maze again...and you won't either...and that hurts both of us,"

"Maybe she will just take longer to get home...it has been five years, do you think it will be another five?"

Sam frowned and shook his head and put a hand on Rover's head, 

"Rover, she is not coming home anymore,"

"Is it something I did? Sam I have been tasked to protect you for five years, did I fail?"

Sam immediately shook his head, 

"NO! No buddy you never have...Maze is with our grandparents now,"

Rover tilted his head, 

"Can we visit?"

Sam sighed sadly and brought out his hands, Rover stepped onto them as he brought the robot onto his shoulder,
