"I'll lure him out while you transform back into your regular sized alt-mode."
"Slag right you will!"
"Okay, be right back."
"Serenity?"
"Anastasia..."
"S-sir...."
"Let's go then."
"Have fun in hell, bitch."

-Anastasia's dream.-
I opened my eyes and looked around, seeing myself inside a small two bedroom house. Someone ran into the kitchen, which is where I was when I opened my eyes. It's me, though I look like I was crying. She slammed a small plastic stick onto the counter and collapses onto the ground, crying. She pulls a heart-shaped pendant out from under her red pajama shirt, the crystal inside glowing a beautiful deep sea blue. "Mi amor..!" she cries out, the pain in her voice making me want to run to her and comfort her, but she places a hand on her stomach, and that's when the stick on the counter catches my attention.
'A pregnancy test...' I think, and judging by the twin lines forming, something was coming. Lennox and Epps come running in, and Epps cradles her, while Lennox stares at the test. The positive, test. "Is it..?" Epps asks. She nods frantically. "Shit.." Lennox mutters.
Time is fast forwarded, and the woman who appears to be me is laying in her bed at home, skin sweaty and flushed, while holding a newborn baby. She smiles brightly down at the infant, tears running down her cheeks. The infant has a small patch of soft brown hair on top of it's head, and beautiful pale skin. "The perfect mix.." Lennox mutters, coming to stand next to her bed and stare at the infant cradled against her chest. She nods. "She's gorgeous.." the woman mutters.
Time flies again, and this time I'm staring at a five year old little girl, she has beautiful soft brown hair, slightly tanned sparkling skin, crystal clear blue-green eyes, and her mother's mouth and nose. The woman is watching the little girl from her spot on the couch, as Lennox was having a little tea party with the little girl. All of a sudden the scene turns ghastly, blood covered the walls, some men took the little girl away as she screamed for her momma, while the mother screamed and wailed for them to let her go. All of a sudden I turn around and there's the little girl, just standing there and looking at me with those beautiful blue-green eyes that reminded me strangely enough of Dino's holoform. "H-hello..?" I mutter. "Save me mommy." she spoke. A scream broke out and-
I jolt to a sitting position, panting heavily. "Signorina? What's wrong?" Dino's voice rings out and I realize I must have fallen asleep in his alt-mode on the way back to base. "I'm fine.." I mutter. I look out the window and watch the scenery pass by. "You sure?" he asks. "Yes. It was just a bad dream." I mutter. "Ah, okay." he mutters. "Dino?" I whisper. "Hmm?" he hums. "Why did you agree to be my partner? I have the feeling your more of a loner than a partner." I ask. "Your not wrong, I love being a loner. But I agreed to being your partner mainly because we're more alike than you think." Dino responds. "Mh." I hum to myself. "Plus, I think it's safe to say we work pretty well together." He says and I nod. "Yeah I guess." I say. "Get some rest, signorina." Dino says. I nod and lay back in his reclined seat.

"Warm water or cold?" I ask, laying sponges and soaps by Dino's alt-mode. "Preferably hot." he responds. "Scalding hot it is." I say, a grin forming on my face. "NOT SCALDING!" he exclaims as I walk away with a bucket in hand. "Hey, Codey!" I call out, seeing the Irish soldier walking passed the door to the dorms. "yeah Ana?" he replies. "I'm washing Dino's alt-mode, could you fill this bucket up with decently hot water while I go change into some older clothes?" I ask him. He nods. "Sure, be careful though, he doesn't like it when humans touch him" he says and I nod. "I know, I'm his partner though, so he respects me enough to let me do it without fussing too much" I say and hand him the bucket before bounding over to my room and changing.
I walk out of my room wearing a black sports bra and a pair of high waisted black shorts. I looked down as my combat boot clad foot bumped into something. It was the bucket. I cautiously dipped my index and middle finger in the water to feel how hot it was, and was happy that it wasn't scalding, but wasn't nuke warm either. "Perfetta." I mutter before grabbing the handle and carrying the heavy bucket out to the main hanger.
As I approached Dino's alt, I heard soft breathing and slight snores. 'Questa cagna che dorme' I think, and smirk cheekily as I grab the hose. Skids and Mudflap smirk as they think I'm gonna spray Dino. But I know well enough that cold hose water ain't gonna wake my partner up. So I look around the hanger and find my victim. Elita-1. Me and Elita aren't on bad terms, but we're not speaking either. I helped the Prime during a battle one time, and she swore up and down I was sleeping with him. Like I would ever want to be with someone who has fucked that loud mouth. I smirk as she unknowingly crosses me and Dino's path. I squeeze the cord of the hose, building some pressure, and when it's to my liking, I let go of the cord and quickly aim the nozzle at Elita's stomach. My plan works, as she screeches, and Dino's alt-mode jumps a little. "You little piece of slag!!!" Elita snarls and makes a move to grab me, but Dino transforms faster than lightning, and snatches me up softly before she could even bend down low enough. They argue in Cybertronian for a moment, before Elita scoffs and walks away. "You know you didn't have to spray her to wake me up, right?" he says and I smirk evilly. "You did it just to make her angry, didn't you?" he says in astonishment. I giggle. "Karma's a bitch." I say. "Now, put me down so I can wash you before she comes back for more." I tell him and he does so, transforming back into his alt-mode.
