Chapter 20
Going Away Party
Optimus had came in with Angel and told them that they had gotten engaged. Sideswipe nearly squished Angel giving her a huge hug for a congratulation present. Optimus got Sideswipe to let go of Angel and held her close to him. She was still trying to catch her breath from nearly being killed by the giant hug monster.
Melinda looked at Tim and asked, "Okay Tim, when are you going to propose to me?"
"Well…ummm…Melinda…aren't you a little young to be engaged yet?" he replied nervously.
"Tim! I'm seventeen for heaven sakes! I'm old enough!" she yelled.
"Neither your father nor my father will approve with us being engaged this young." he replied.
Melinda made a face and turned away and said, "We've been going out for four years Tim! Look at Optimus and Angel they've only been together for like a year or so."
"Melinda, it depends on the people too, but I swear I will propose to you when the time is right." he whispered as he started kissing her.
"Why not now?" she asked seeing he was keeping something from him.
"Melinda…Father wants me to come with him next week to a different country and maybe war." he whispered.
"What! You can't leave me! You can't!" she exclaimed letting tears start running down her face.
"What's wrong?" asked Optimus looking down at the human couple.
Tim sighed and said, "I'm going to be leaving next week to join my dad's army and go somewhere where there maybe war."
Everyone was quiet until Angel broke it, "What! Tim why didn't you tell us sooner! Why the hell…!?" she cut off herself and shook her head.
Scavenger walked over and bent down to him and said, "Are you ready Tim?"
"I don't know…I mean I've been training for this all my life. I just don't know if I want to leave right now." he said still holding Melinda in his arms as she cried.
Scavenger shook his head in approval. He had been the one who had trained Optimus and was training Hot Shot at the moment. He then said, "Tim if you need anything. Just ask and we all will do what we can to help."
Optimus shook his head in agreement with Scavenger.
"Thanks guys. You guys can do one thing for me."
"What's that?" asked Smokescreen.
"Will you guys watch Melinda when I'm gone? I don't want her to be miserable when I'm gone." he whispered as Melinda started crying harder.
Optimus lowered Angel to the ground and she walked over to Tim and said, "Tim…You better come back. After all the training you've been through I want you to be able to come back in one piece."
Tim had to laugh at her remark. "Don't worry I'll come back and I'll propose to Melinda. I promise that I will."
Melinda looked up at Tim and smiled and said, "You will?"
"I will." he whispered.
"Hey Tim…since you have one week until you do go off with the army how about we a have a little sleep over here and hang out all week. If it's okay with Optimus and the autobots." said Angel as she looked up at them.
"Sure thing." said Optimus as the other autobots agreed with him.
"Hey Scavenger, if you don't mind, teaching me some moves before I leave would ya?" asked Tim.
"Tim I would be honored to teach you a little." said Scavenger smiling.
"Hey Tim, I better warn you. He is a little tough." said Hot Shot smiling.
"I'm only tough on you because you're a rooky still needing training. Tim is human and I am going to just show him moves." said Scavenger with a face of disgust on his face.
All the kids had to laugh at this which made everyone else laugh.
"Hey guys what's so funny?" asked Alexis entering the room with Rad and Carlos behind her.
"Oh nothing much just a remark from Hot Shot." replied Angel
They had told them everything about Tim going off with his father, and most likely her father also since he was promoted after Angel's father's death. Alexis looked at Angel's fingers and screamed, "WHO PROPOSED!"
Tim who was smiling and sneakingly pointing at Optimus, she spun around and saw Optimus looking down at her waving. Alexis's jaw dropped and thought she was going to faint. Jet Fire saw this and scooped her up in his hand just as she started falling backwards. Rad and Carlos were so shocked at the news, but then Carlos got a smirk on his face and started singing, "Angel and Optimus—"
Angel put her hand over his mouth and said, "Boy, you start singing that song I'm going to knock your lights out."
Carlos's eyes grew big and just as she drew away her hand. He did the lip zipping sign and kept his mouth shut. Optimus bent down to him and said, "Oh Carlos if you ever sing that song, I won't stop her."
Carlos's eyes grew even bigger when Optimus said that. Afterward everyone started laughing at Carlos's face while Carlos stayed as quiet as a mouse knowing he might get his lights put out.
"Okay guys let's make this week the best week Tim has ever had with us." exclaimed Angel
They all ran to the gathering room that the children had decorated. They all sat around thinking up of something to do.
"Hey! Does one of you guys have twister?" asked Melinda.
"Why?" asked Rad looking at her.
"Because Tim and I always end up being twisted up together and we will need help getting untwisted." she replied.
"Okay in that case I think I do have twister in my house. Hey Hot Shot would you give me a quick ride home and back?" asked Rad.
"Sure thing!" exclaimed Hot Shot who picked up Rad which really caught him off guard and ran to the command room.
"Okay. You humans have to explain what this twister game is." said Scavenger.
"Okay there will be someone who will have a spinner and he will tell you if you put your left hand, right hand, left foot, or right foot on a certain color circle on the mat. Then you get all twisted up while doing it." said Angel.
"Sounds like fun." said Optimus.
"Yeah it is Optimus. You know you should do it too." said Angel
"Well I don't know…"
"Go on Optimus I want to see a transformer play this human twister game." said Scavenger giving him a little nudge forward.
"Okay, okay I'll try." Angel quickly ran in his arms and gave him a kiss on his cheek and said, "It's going to be fun Optimus. I promise."
Then Rad and Hot Shot came running back in the room with the game. He put down Rad who was stumbling trying to catch his balance and said, "I'm spinning the spinner for this game."
"Oh man Rad you have to take the best thing in the game." whined Carlos.
So the game started and Optimus didn't think it was that bad because they weren't going anywhere near being twisted up. As the game went on he started to notice that everyone was starting to get twisted up. He saw Melinda and Tim struggling trying to get loose from each other while trying to get to their colors on the mat.
Optimus was a little tangled with Angel who was beneath him and he heard her say, "Optimus if you fall on me I swear to God I will kill you. Fiancé or not I will kill you."
Optimus stood strong knowing while he was human size he still weighed a lot more than they and could kill them if he ever put his whole weight on one human. As the game went on Angel and Optimus were more tangled than ever. They were tied in a knot and finally fell over. Angel landing on top of Optimus, they tried getting untangled, but couldn't move.
Finally Scavenger picked up the two and tried untangling them.
"Man Optimus you're in a knot here." he said.
"Tell me about it." retorted Optimus.
"Hey Optimus your lucky it's me instead of Carlos. You guys almost got twisted."
"You got a point there Angel. Plus you're the only one who I 'd ever want to be tangled with." he whispered.
Finally after what seemed an hour Scavenger untangled the two without ripping any limbs off and set them on the ground. They sat close to each other watching Carlos and Alexis fall out with only Melinda and Tim tangled up. Finally after two hours they finally gave up and fell down on each other.
No one bothered them for they were in one of the kissing moods which met you bother us you're going to die. Angel slowly started to fall asleep next to Optimus and asked, "When are you guys going back to Cybertron?"
Optimus looked down at her and said, "Until we get all the minicons and save the universe."
"Is there any human you'll be bringing?" she asked looking in his optics now.
"Why there is my fiancé I'm planning on taking with me." he whispered.
She quickly wrapped her arms around her neck and whispered, "I love you Optimus I love you so much."
Optimus couldn't help but smile under his face mask and start rubbing her back with his hand. They were the perfect couple that earth people only dreamt of being.
The week had past and Tim had gone along with Melinda's father. Melinda had convinced her father to let her stay here with Angel. Melinda helped Angel start planning the wedding that was going to take place on Cybertron when they get there. They had picked out a beautiful eighteenth century like white dress and the colors of Melinda's maid of honor dress. Another maid was Alexis who was so excited about the wedding that was going to happen. It was a great life for Angel and her friends.
Angel had found her one true love in her life and was going to be with him forever. She was going to love her knew life. She was going to be in an army, just not an earth army, an army from out of this world with her husband as the commander.
