This one is a gift for Snow., but I'd like to share it with everyone who want to read it..

Enjoy it!

AN: all the characters don't belong to me!

Chapter one

The shift at K.O. Burger was over for the past 30 minutes. But the raven-haired boy with blue eyes there was no sign anywhere.

Arcee, his guardian and friend, waiting patiently for him to show up.

"Damn it ... but where the hell is he?".

Well, maybe, not so patiently.

But the femme wasn't angry at the delay of his charge. Rather, she was worried. Jack rarely delayed. He was a very punctual and precise teenager.

And those rare times that he had to hold at job for an extra shift or overtime, he, before telephoned his mother, and immediately after warned his guardian. He was a responsible young man.

Arcee conjured her hologram, started the engine and decided to head towards Jack's work station. But as soon as she turned the front tire to the right and upward the rev of the engine, he appeared.

The guy looked shocked. His hair was matted and to the Autobot he seemed also very pale. Even his gait was uncertain. Arcee walked a few feet to get closer and allow the young to lean to the bike.

"Are you ok partner?" the hologram asked raising the visor of the helmet. Ratchet had improved holographic projection of the femme. Now the hologram could move and interact with the outside world, having a solidity. She also had the ability to move into the surrounding space up to about half a mile from the vehicle form.

And not only this: the good doctor, at Agent Fowler's insistence and despite Optimus' uncertainties , created holofrms for all members of Team Prime. Always robot in disguise, but they were no longer vehicles without driver. And now they could take part in all those evenings and parties organized by the government for many different reasons, from dinners for charity to those for veterans of various military actions done in the last few years.

When Arcee got no response, she took off the helmet. The only Autobot femme's holoform had the likeness of a woman about 25 years old, with brown hair and big blue eyes. The lips were thin and pink. The body was that of an athlete and it was visible through the tight suit she was wearing.

Concerned, the woman grabbed Jack by the arm and shook him. Only then the teenager seemed to return to himself.

"Arcee ..." he whispered "Am I dead and am I in heaven?"

Well, maybe he wasn't returned to himself. Not yet.

"Jack ..." began softly his guardian "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING FOR PRIMUS' SAKE?" only Arcee's screams seemed take back the boy to reality.

"Sorry for being late ..." Jack said as he passed his hand several times in the hair.

"I hope you have a good excuse!" Arcee replied. She, in the meantime, get off the bike and she was standing in front of the human with arms crossed over the chest.

"A good excuse huh?" Jack continued "Well, Sierra could it be one?" The young man looked embarrassed and avoided looking into his guardian's eyes.

"Explain! Now!" ordered the femme, beginning to tapped with the right foot on the ground.

"I had finished my shift, when I was leaving, just before opening the door to exit, Sierra came in. She greeted me, they started talking about this and that and ..." he paused.

His face became very red "I asked her out and she accepted!" the smile on the face of raven-haired teeenager couldn't be bigger.

"Is that all?" let out the Autobot.

Jack's jaw opened and, if it wasn't attacked at his face, it could fall on the ground "How? It's a global event ... what am I saying? It's intergalactic."

"Yes, yes ... it will be as you say, but if I don't carry over you to your home within 10 minutes the only thing that will be intergalactic, it will be your punishment from yout mother".

Jack look at the clock on his cellphone "Damn ... there are 4 calls" then shifted his gaze on her guardian "My mother will kill me!" sighed the young facepalming.

"Arcee ... can I ask you a question before to go?" Once again Jack's face turned red as a tomato "On Cybertron ... well ...do you have something that are like our date? You know...between a mech and a femme?".

The hologram's eyes widened. Now she seemed the one embarrassed.

"Well .. you see ... I was wondering ... since I have not much experience of this kind of things ..." the boy made a long pause, he took a couple of deep breaths and then said "Could you help with this made? Give me some suggestions ... ".

"Wh-what?"

"Would you like to help me to impress Sierra?" repeated the teenager visibly embarrassed.

Arcee didn't really know what to say. Although she wasn't an expert on the subject, she had very few appointments during his youth on Cybertron. Then the war broke out and the last thing that could resemble a date had been in the Arctic where Prime held her hand for a few seconds.

"Maybe I'm not only the best person to do it" she finally said, but when he saw the disappointment on the Jack's face, she added "But I'll try".

"Yes, yes, yes!" Then said the teenager throwing his arms around the holographic woman's neck "Thank you ... you're the best Arcee".

"Yes, Yes... I konow!" Arcee shook her head several times with a smile, then looked around. The parking lot was deserted, and there was no danger of being seen by someone. Only then she dissolved the hologram.

"Come on partner! Now we have only 6 minutes to get home" .

Jack didn't need to be told twice. He put on his helmet let Arcee brought him home as quickly as possible.

If he had done later today probably his mother would put him in detention until the age of 21 years old ... and beyond.

Outpost Omega One - that evening

Arcee returned very late that night at the base. She had brought home Jack in time, but the teenager was so excited that he wanted to program immediately in every detail his long-awaited and desired appointment with Sierra.

The Autobot femme had then spent the whole evening in her holographic form sitting on the couch in the living room of Darby's house. Jack had talked for hours about how Sierra was beautiful, talented and intelligent, as the girl was well dressed, how she ate, wrote, read, of how good her perfume was ...

When she transformed, she was pervaded by a feeling of dizziness and leaned with her hand against the wall for support "But how can these humans chat about nothing ..." she whispered in the solitude of the main hangar.

"Have you said something Arcee?" only then the femme understood to be not alone.

She looked up and saw Optimus watched her curiously. Evidently Prime was monitoring Decepticons' activities...a usual. The femme looked at her clock and saw that it was already past midnight.

"It 's very late. Do you suffer from insomnia or do you have just been drinking too much coffee?" she answered the question of her leader with another question.

The big red and blue mech raised an eyebrow trying to understand the hidden meaning behind the words of his SIC.

"No, I do not suffer from insomnia. And honestly I do not think that a substance such as coffee can somehow affect my biorhythms".

Arcee shook her head, smiling "It was a joke Prime!" she said, passing her hand over her optics. Oh, she felt so tired.

"Perhaps it is best that you go to recharge!" Optimus said as he approached the femme.

"Can I ask you something ... even though it may seem a bit strange?" asked with embarrassment the purple and blue femme.

Her friend and leader nodded.

"Well ... what would you do if you have to go out with a femme?".

The question caught completely unprepared the big mech, who quickly looked away from Arcee and ran his hand several times on the back of the helmet.

"Well ... I ..." it was really uncommon to see the powerful supreme leader of the Autobots without words.

She realized that perhaps she had gone too far "Never mind Prime. It's late and we're both tired ... good recharge. See you tomorrow in the morning" she said before turning and reach for her quarters as quickly as she could.

The day after

Optimus had got up very early that morning. He had rested a little and badly. So he decided to use the time more useful than continue to toss and turn endlessly in the berth. He went to look for some energon.

His hunting hadn't been lucky: he found only a few small crystal that perhaps they would be enough for a couple of days. So in a bad mood and with a slight processors-ache, he returned to the base.

When he arrived at the outpost Omega One, he found a very noisy main hangar, full of humans and Autobots.

No one seemed to notice his arrival, but the big red and blue mech didn't mind it. He wasn't really in the mood to answer to Miko's nagging questions. Just the thought, his processors already seemed to burst.

He went to the doctor and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Thank to the AllSpark! You're back!" said his trust friend, turning to look annoyed the group of humans and bots "I can't stand them anymore!" then, worried, turned to the mech next to him who had his big hand on the helmet "Are you okay Optimus?" he asked, starting to scan the bigger Autobot.

"Yes, just a bit of processors-ache. I rested a little tonight ... but what's going on?" Optimus noticed that Jack was the center of attention of all, Bots and humans.

Ratchet stopped what he was doing and stared into the face of his friend and leader "How? Don't you know?" he asked, raising his left eyebrow.

Prime shook his head while the red and white mech sighed deeply.

"Jack has a date with Sierra" said the doctor, twirling his eyes in disappointment "And the others are helping to organize it! What an idiot!" then the doctor turned back toward the screen and continued what he had interrupted a few minutes before.

"Yeah ..." Optimus said softly.

Now maybe it was more clear to him what was the meaning of Arcee's request the night before. The femme was tryng to help his charge and wanted some advice from hs leader. For a moment he thought that ...

"Earth to Optimus. Optimus are you there?" Prime's thoughts were interrupted by Miko'sshrill voice. The big red and blue mech saw the young human leaning over the railing, shaking her right hand into the air to get his attention.

Welcome back Bos Bot "said Miko raising both thumbs up and winking at big mech" We need your help! "

Optimus was surprised and intrigued at the same time.

"Now you're aware of the news of the day: the Jack and Sierra's date" the girl began to walk back and forth "And you know who Jack is... i can say,same as you... little inclined for social activities" she added, making quotation marks with her hands "So he needs a support group: us" .

"Miko ... I do not think ..." but he was silenced by the hand of the girl.

"Don't interrupt me, please! I'm not predisposed for these things so... corny" she made a disgusted face "Bumblebee and Raf are too young for such things. Bulkhead ... well, he's a wrecker. He doesn't know aboutl ove issues!" she took a little break and looked toward the Autobot femme "Arcee doesn't seem to coöperate and the doctor? I think it's obvious why I excluded him from this conversation" then she put both hands on the railing, raised the right index finger and pointed it straight on Optimus. The mech took a step back.

"But you ... you're a Prime" she made another little pause "Could you ask the Matrix to give us some advice?".

"Miko ..." Bulkhead's tone of reproach irritated the girl.

"What? I'm doing nothing bad ... I just want to help a friend" said the young human with a shrug.

"I do not think the Matrix of Leadership can help us in this case" said calmly Optimus "And I think Jack has to face this ..." he paused to look for the right words "personal challenge, alone" concluded the Autobot leader while looked into the face of the raven-haired teenager.

Jack nodded but she didn't say anything.

Miko still didn't seem satisfied.

"Optimus ... would you do me a small favor? Could you activate your holoform ... only for a few seconds, pleaseeeee" the girl asked innocently, batting quickly her eyelids several times.

Prime was getting confused but he agreed. He transformed in his vehicle form and activated his holographic projection.

Next to the truck, appeared a man in his late mid-twenties, tall, with a muscular physique. His eyes were a deep blue. His face was lengthened, thin nose as well as lips. Brown hair were very short, almost shaved, and a hint of stubble covering his chin and cheeks. He was wearing dark jeans and a red and blue checked shirt, open in front. At the foot he had blue sneakers. Optimus Prime's holoform could easily be mistaken for one of those models of advertising.

Miko came down the stairs and reached the hologram. She turned around the man several times. Optimus stood motionless and silent as she studied him.

But after a few minutes the silence was broken by the former Wrecker "Miko ... can you explain the meaning of all this?".

"Just a moment ... Arcee, could you also turn on your holoform and go close to Optimus?".

"But why?" asked annoyed the femme.

"Just do it ... please".

Arcee reluctantly transformed in her vehicular the form and conjured her hologram. This time the woman wasn't wearing a suit bike, but a shirt and a pair of leggings purple and blue. She also wore comfortable sports shoes.

"Come here, near Optimus, please" insisted Miko.

Arcee did so and brought her holographic image close to that of her leader. Optimus tried to address a smile to his SIC. She smiled back.

The young human girl positioned himself in front of the couple and watched them intently for a few minutes.

"Perfect ... I'm sure it will work!" Miko said satisfied.

"Excuse me, Miko but what are you doing?" Jack asked worriedly.

"I have found the solution to your problems my friend" she said, pointing with her hand the pair of holograms.

"I don't understand ..." Jack whispered.

Miko facepalmed and then explained "A double date ... you and Sierra" then pointed again the two hapless Autobot "Arcee and Optimus".

"WHAT?" exclaimed both holograms. And Ratchet.

"Have anyone a better idea?" Miko asked, crossing her hands on the chest. None of those present said anything "It's perfect: Jack will feel more secure having near his guardian ... and then a little fun not hurt neither Arcee nor Optimus" concluded the girl.

Arcee pondered Miko's proposal. Jack looked up and saw the femme could see the boy was anxious for an answer, "Okay ... I'll do it... for Jack!" she said before turning to Prime "And you, Optimus?".

All eyes were on Prime "Sure ..." was the feeble reply, as he scratched the back of his head, embarrassed.

"Hurray!" Miko didn't stop her enthusiasm, while Jack nodded to the two holoforms. His lips forming a silent "Thank you".

Now they have to organize the special evening.

So this is chapter one... how are you thinking? Don't be shy and tell me!
