I was at the base, Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead were with their charges. So it was just me at base. Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Optimus we're taking about who knows what.
I walk over the monitors where they were talking and and Ratchet making some sort of concoction. Wheeljack was walking backward and knocked the concoction that ratchet was making, the formula spilled. Not on the floor, but on the red and blue mech. We, of course, didn't notice. Then BAM. smoke was everywhere.
"Ratchet," I coughed "what was that"

"My formula!!, HWEELJACK!!!"

"Sorry Doc. Didn't see"

The smoke cleared, and Optimus disappeared I look around, I didn't see him, or hear him walk away,

"Ratchet...what did you make exactly!" I asked

Ratchet froze and also realized that Optimus was missing, and scanned the ground,

"... a shrinking formula" he said quietly

I froze, if that spilled on Optimus, which it probably did. He could get squished and we wouldn't notice. how small was he? Where was he exactly? How will we find him.   all these thoughts rushed through my head of bad possibilities. I snapped out of my thoughts and ran to the ladder, and climbed down and slowly lowered my foot to the ground being careful, I look over and see where the formula was spilt, but instead of it being flat there was a figure. That looked about 3 inches tall,

"Ratchet, Wheeljack back up...please" I asked

They both backed up but slowly and watching where they were stepping. Just in case. I slowly walked over to where the formula was spilt, and saw the figure walking away from the formula, I walked over to the formula was and kneeled down, looking at the figure,

"Optimus?" I questioned

He turned around with a confused expression

"Why...why is everything bigger." He asked

I looked at Wheeljack

"Scrap head over there knocked ratchets formula on you." I said

"By accident sunshine"

I rolled my eyes and held out my hand so Optimus could climb on, he hesitated but soon got on, I stood back up and walked to the stairs to get to the human area. I held him close to my chest so he wouldn't fall. I got up the stairs and placed him in the couch and walked over to the monitors by Ratchet. He activated the ground bridge for Wheeljack, and deactivated after he went through.

"What do we do, how do we reverse the affects." I asked

"I-I still need to figure that out" he said

"You...so your telling me that you made something that doesn't have a counter affect or something for it."

"...yea..."

I sighed and walked away towards the couch, Optimus sat there patiently. He was looking down playing with his digits. He looks nervous. Why would he nervous? Is it cause he small? I sat down carefully next to him. And looked down at him.

"Optimus, are you okay?" I asked

He looked up at me,

"It's different, I now know how you feel around us Autobots." He said and looked back down playing with his digits again. I swear I saw a blue ting across his face. I moved my arm closer to him, I then moved my hand around to comfort him, hopefully. He flinched, looked straight, then at me. I smirked and he smiled. Then quickly I scooped him up and brought him to face level. He looked at me with fright then turned into confusion.
