This chapter will be dedicated to my very best friend autobotgirl12328. I understand this is crappy but she deserves something so... :) Song is Never Say Never by The Fray. Not Slash!

The girl laughed. The Autobot laughed. Perceptor picked up the teen and put her next to him to the table.

"I can't believe you did that to Sideswipe!" Percptor smiled trying to hide his laughter.

"Eh, he needs a good pranking every now and then" Niki giggled. "Besides how can you not want to exact revenge on him after what he did to your lab? Well that's all taken care of now..."

"It took days to remove that sludge from the countless datapads and schematics to make them even somewhat readable!" Perceptor groaned. Niki just laughed at her robotic friend.

You can never say never why we dont know

"She...she's gone.." Perceptor cried. "We'll never get her back..." The Decepticons had captured her. Niki was gone. The base was hidden and well guarded. Their demands were impossible.

"Nev'ah say nev'ah Percy" Jazz whispered lying his hand on the microscope's shoulder.

Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go It was a miracle. No science could ever prove it possible. No logical scenario fit. But this was the one time he wouldn't care. Somehow Jazz and the twins got her back. Niki was back. And he wasnt going to let her go. She was his best friend. She was more important than science to him. He wasn't anywhere near a melee fighter like Sunstreaker or Sideswipe but the Cons would pay he wasnt going to let them ever touch her again. I will be your guardian when all is crumbling steady your hand Perceptor smiled. In apprximately .485 seconds Niki would walk through the human door to his lab. The door swooshed open exactly .485 seconds later but instead of the usual happy full of smiles girl, in her place was a sad almost lost looking girl. "Niki?" the scientist picked up the girl and gently set her on the table. Something was obviously bothering her. "What's wrong?" "My mom... she went away. She got sent overseas..." Niki whimpered. "I don't even know when she'll be back Ceptor..." Perceptor picked her up and set her on his right shoulder. He comforted her silently acknowledging her pain and trying to asist. Just the presense of her friend was enough to make her feel at least a little bit better. We're pulling apart and coming together again and again We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again Sure the friendship between the girl and the bot was an interesting one and seemed to fall apart and be tested constantly but they still came out on top. And no one could change that.
