Mieko stood on her tiptoes and fast

Mieko stood on her tiptoes and fastened the small paper bat to the highest part of the wall she could reach, and Bulkhead stared at her curiously.

"Mieko, what are you doing?" He asked her and she sighed.

"It's the 31st of October Bulk! Halloween!" She exclaimed and turned to face the decorations she had hung in the corner, and admired them.

"Oh right! Uh…what's Halloween?" Bulk asked and Mieko turned with another sigh, with Jack chuckling from his seat and Raf was smiling as he tapped away on his laptop.

"Halloween, or, all hallows eve, as it's better known is a tradition, children dress up as monsters and ghouls and go out trick or treating, to get candy from people" Raf explained, pulling up a picture on his screen as some children dressed up in costumes with pumpkin bags full of sweets.

Bumblebee clicked and whirred and Raf laughed.

"No Bee, they aren't real monsters, monsters don't exist" Raf told him and Bee clicked a few more times in understanding.

"Why do humans celebrate Halloween?" Arcee asked looking down at Jack who smiled.

"For fun, they say that at midnight on Halloween, the human planes are closest to the deathly planes, but that's just a story told to scare kids" Jack told her and she nodded, but still looked confused.

"And you tell spooky stories!" Mieko cried out grinning and looking at the bots who merely frowned.

"Didn't you guys have scary stories on Cybertron?" She asked and Ratchet shook his head.

"Only myths and legends" He told them and Raf looked up curiously.

"What kinds of myths and legends?" He asked, intrigued.

Ratchet turned and gave him a curious look, before turning to Optimus.

"There is one that may interest you, the tale of the white ones" Ratchet told them and the three children sat on chairs, listening intently to the story.

"The white ones, were three beings that had no colour, only white, there were three of them, and sparklings used to see them in their sleep, they'd wake, kicking and screaming, begging for mercy" Ratchet began and Jack got a very horrible sinking feeling in his stomach, this was starting to sound way to familiar for his liking.

"They'd go into recharge, but they'd never wake up and-" Ratchet went but Jack had heard enough, he stood, and walked away.

"Jack?" Arcee asked concerned and Mieko laughed.

"Jack's scared!" She teased, she was only joking, messing around, but Jack just kept walking until he was standing outside in the cold night air.

"What's his problem?" Mieko asked and Arcee went to go see what was wrong.

"Anyway, what were you saying Ratchet?" Mieko turned but Ratchet didn't continue.

"I think, that is enough story telling for tonight" Optimus told her and she groaned.

"Ohh…I was listening to that!" She complained but she dropped the subject, and went back to explaining the joys of trick or treating to Bulkhead.

Jack stood staring out at the desert that surrounded the Autobot base and sighed, he was beginning to regret coming here on Halloween, but he didn't want to spend it at home, not Halloween. It wasn't that his mother did or didn't celebrate it, it was because Halloween to them, it wasn't a day of trick or treating, it was a day of mourning, and he figured, that if he came to the base, he'd be able to forget about it, just for a while, otherwise he'd get stressed out and his mother would worry about him.

"Jack?" Arcee asked walking out of the base, she looked down and saw him standing with his back to her, facing the desert, she crouched down behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, he turned, looking slightly bewildered and smiled a big fake smile up at her.

"Oh…hey Arcee"

"Jack, are you alright?" She asked him with a concerned face.

There you go again Jack, making people worry about you…

"I'm fine Arcee, just wanted some fresh air, that's all" He lied smoothly, something he had become very good at doing over the years, but Arcee didn't look fooled.

"You sure?" She asked, trying to press him a subtly as possible, she didn't want to force him into anything, but she wanted to make sure he was alright, he was, in a way, her ward. She was his guardian, therefore he was her ward, she had become a sort of, older sister to him, if not something similar to a mother.

Though she'd never tell June that.

"I'm fine Arcee, just needed to get some fresh air, nothing to worry about" He told her, placing a hand behind his head awkwardly, something he did when he was either embarrassed, or lying.

"Alright…but we can't be out here too long, you'll catch a cold" Arcee told him, reluctantly dropping the subject.

"We?" He asked smiling, regaining his old humour and Arcee smiled down at him.

"Yes, we"

Optimus was relieved when Arcee and Jack came walking back inside the base a few minutes later, both looking happy, though why Jack had walked out like that puzzled him, but the young boy was not the best at dealing with certain situations as Optimus had learnt, as he had observed all the humans characteristics during his stay on Earth, and, picked up a few of their habits.

"Hey Jack! Come over here for a sec!" Mieko called and Jack wandered over to where Mieko and Raff were standing.

"Yeah? What is it?" He asked calmly and Mieko sniggered, he frowned at her and Raf sighed and turned to Mieko.

"Don't be mean Mieko"

"He was scared! Of a ghost story" She laughed, unable to hold it in any longer and Jack glared at her, wishing he had stayed outside just a bit longer.

"Ghost stories? What kinds of ghost stories?"

Jack inwardly groaned, trust his mother to turn up at that exact minute, she was wearing casual appearing clothes, I say appearing, black sensible trousers and a comfortable black T-shirt, black, like a funeral, Jack though was also wearing black, though it may have been a subconscious thing.

"A Cybertronian legend that Ratchet told us about" Raf told her, ever the good, innocent child that did as he was told.

"And Jack got scared!" Mieko laughed and a small smile came to June's face.

"It wasn't even scary! It was some legend about 'the white ones'" Mieko continued still laughing. June's smile vanished.

"White ones?" She asked uncertain she wanted to hear the answer.

"It was nothing mom, nothing" Jack told her sternly, standing in front of his mother with a stern look on his face, June knew that face.

"Jack…" She started but he walked past her.

"I'm going home, Arcee, you coming?" Jack asked and Arcee looked down at Mieko, who shrugged her shoulder, Arcee followed, ready to drive Jack home.

When they were out of earshot June sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose, something Ratchet noticed.

"Do you have a headache?" He asked her and she looked up, and shook her head.

"No, I'm fine" She told him, but it was obvious that no-one in the room believed her.

"There is something troubling both you and Jack, we, as your friends want to help, would you tell us?" Optimus asked her in a gentle voice and she sighed but nodded.

"Guess I don't really have much choice, your right, you are our friends, it's only right you know" She muttered, standing in front of the huge mechs.

"You may or may not have figured this out by now, but Jack's father, my husband-" She took a slow breath.

Mieko berdiri di berjinjit nya dan diikat kelelawar kertas kecil untuk bagian tertinggi dari dinding dia bisa mencapai, dan sekat menatapnya anehnya."Mieko, apa yang Anda lakukan?" Ia meminta dirinya dan Dia menghela napas."Itu adalah 31 Oktober massal! Halloween!" Dia berseru dan berbalik menghadapi dekorasi dia tergantung di sudut, dan mengagumi mereka."Oh benar! Eh... Apakah Halloween?

Arcee bertanya menatap Jack yang tersenyum."Untuk bersenang-senang, mereka mengatakan bahwa pada tengah malam Halloween, pesawat manusia terdekat dengan pesawat Relikui, tapi itu hanya sebuah cerita yang diceritakan untuk menakut-nakuti anak-anak" Jack menyuruhnya dan Dia mengangguk, tapi masih tampak bingung."Dan Anda menceritakan kisah-kisah menakutkan!" Mieko berseru menyeringai dan memandang bot yang hanya bersinar."Tidak kalian memiliki kisah-kisah menakutkan di Cybertron?" Dia bertanya dan Ratchet menggelengkan kepala."Hanya mitos dan legenda" Dia mengatakan mereka dan Raf mendongak anehnya."Apa jenis mitos dan legenda?" Ia bertanya, tertarik.Ratchet berbalik dan memberinya melihat penasaran, sebelum beralih ke Optimus."Ada satu yang mungkin menarik bagi Anda, kisah yang putih" Ratchet mengatakan mereka dan 3 anak yang duduk di kursi, sungguh-sungguh mendengarkan cerita."Yang putih, adalah tiga makhluk yang telah ada warna, hanya putih, di sana adalah tiga dari mereka, dan sparklings digunakan untuk melihat mereka dalam tidur mereka, mereka akan bangun, menendang dan menjerit, memohon untuk belas kasihan" Ratchet mulai dan Jack punya perasaan di perutnya, ini mulai suara cara tertekan sangat mengerikan untuk akrab untuk disukainya."Mereka akan pergi ke isi ulang, tetapi mereka tidak pernah akan bangun dan -" Ratchet pergi tapi Jack sudah mendengar cukup, ia berdiri dan berjalan pergi."Jack?" Arcee bertanya prihatin dan Mieko tertawa."Jack's takut!" Dia menggoda, dia adalah hanya bercanda, Main-Main, tetapi Jack hanya terus berjalan sampai ia berdiri di luar udara malam yang dingin."Apa itu masalah?" Mieko bertanya dan Arcee pergi untuk pergi melihat apa yang salah."Pokoknya, apa yang Anda katakan Ratchet?" Mieko berubah tetapi Ratchet tidak tetap."Saya pikir, itulah cukup bercerita untuk malam ini" Optimus mengatakan dia dan Dia mengerang."oh... Aku sedang mendengarkan itu!" Dia mengeluh, tapi dia menjatuhkan subjek, dan kembali ke menjelaskan kebahagiaan trik atau memperlakukan untuk sekat.Jack berdiri menatap gurun yang mengelilingi dasar Autobot dan mendesah, ia mulai menyesal datang ke sini pada Halloween, tetapi ia tidak mau menghabiskan itu di rumah, tidak Halloween. Bukan bahwa ibunya lakukan atau tidak merayakan itu, itu adalah karena Halloween mereka, bukan trik atau mengobati, hari perkabungan itu, dan ia tahu, bahwa jika ia datang ke dasar, ia akan bisa melupakan tentang hal itu, hanya untuk sementara, jika tidak ia akan mendapatkan stres dan ibunya akan khawatir tentang dirinya."Jack?" Arcee bertanya berjalan keluar dari dasar, ia melihat ke bawah dan melihat dia berdiri dengan punggungnya padanya, menghadap gurun, dia meringkuk di belakangnya dan menepuk bahu, ia berbalik, melihat sedikit bingung dan tersenyum senyum palsu besar."Oh... Hei Arcee""Jack, Apakah Anda baik-baik saja?" Dia bertanya dengan wajah khawatir.Di sana Anda pergi lagi Jack, membuat orang khawatir tentang Anda..."Aku Arcee halus, hanya ingin udara segar, itu semua" ia berbohong lancar, sesuatu yang dia telah menjadi sangat baik melakukan selama tahun, tetapi Arcee tidak tampak tertipu."Anda yang pasti?" Dia bertanya, mencoba untuk menekan mereka halus mungkin, ia tidak ingin memaksa dia ke dalam apa pun, tapi dia ingin memastikan bahwa ia adalah baik-baik saja, ia adalah, dengan cara, bangsal nya. Dia adalah wali-nya, karena itu ia bangsal nya, dia telah menjadi semacam, kakak untuk dia, jika tidak sesuatu yang mirip dengan seorang ibu.Meskipun dia tidak pernah untuk memberitahu Juni bahwa."Aku Arcee halus, hanya perlu untuk mendapatkan udara segar, tidak perlu khawatir tentang" Dia mengatakan kepadanya, meletakkan tangan di belakang kepalanya canggung, sesuatu yang dia lakukan ketika dia malu atau berbaring."Baik-baik saja... tapi kita tidak bisa terlalu lama di sini, Anda akan menangkap dingin" Arcee kepadanya, enggan menjatuhkan subjek."Kami?" Dia meminta tersenyum, memperoleh tua humor dan Arcee nya tersenyum turun kepadanya."Ya, kita"Optimus adalah lega ketika Arcee dan Jack datang berjalan kembali ke dalam dasar beberapa menit kemudian, keduanya tampak bahagia, meskipun bingung mengapa Jack telah berjalan keluar seperti itu, tetapi anak laki-laki bukan yang terbaik di berurusan dengan situasi tertentu seperti Optimus telah belajar, karena ia telah mengamati semua manusia karakteristik selama tinggal di bumi, dan , mengambil beberapa kebiasaan mereka."Hei Jack! Datang ke sini untuk sec!" Mieko disebut dan Jack merantau ke mana Mieko dan Raff berdiri."Ya? Apa itu?" Dia bertanya dengan tenang dan Mieko terkikik, ia disukai padanya dan Raf mendesah dan berpaling kepada Mieko."Jangan Mieko berarti""Ia adalah takut! Cerita hantu"ia tertawa, tidak bisa menahan lagi dan Jack melotot padanya, berharap dia telah tinggal di luar hanya sedikit lebih lama."Cerita hantu? Apa jenis cerita hantu?"Jack dalam hati mengerang, percaya ibunya muncul pada menit yang tepat, ia mengenakan pakaian kasual muncul, kataku celana masuk akal muncul, hitam dan nyaman T-shirt hitam, hitam, seperti pemakaman, Jack meskipun juga mengenakan hitam, meskipun itu mungkin hal yang bawah sadar."Cybertronian legenda yang Ratchet memberitahu kami tentang" Raf mengatakan kepadanya, pernah baik, tidak bersalah anak yang melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan."Dan Jack punya ketakutan!" Mieko tertawa dan senyum kecil sampai Juni wajah."Itu tidak bahkan menakutkan! Itu suatu legenda tentang 'yang putih' "Mieko terus masih tertawa. Juni senyum lenyap."Putih yang?" Dia bertanya pasti dia ingin mendengar jawaban."Itu tidak ada ibu, tidak ada" Jack menyuruhnya, berdiri di depan ibunya dengan pandangan yang tajam di wajahnya, Juni tahu wajah itu."Jack..." Dia mulai tetapi ia berjalan melewati dirinya."Aku akan pulang, Arcee, Anda datang?" Jack meminta dan menatap Mieko, yang mengangkat bahu bahunya, Arcee diikuti, siap untuk pulang Jack Arcee.Ketika mereka keluar dari jangkauan pendengaran Juni mendesah dan menggosok jembatan hidungnya, sesuatu Ratchet memperhatikan."Apakah Anda memiliki sakit kepala?" Ia bertanya kepadanya dan dia mendongak dan menggelengkan kepalanya."Tidak, aku baik-baik saja" dia menjawabnya, tapi itu jelas bahwa tidak ada orang di ruang percaya padanya."Tidak ada sesuatu yang mengganggu Anda dan Jack, kita, sebagai teman-teman Anda ingin membantu, Anda akan kami kirim?" Optimus memintanya dengan suara lembut dan Dia menghela napas tapi mengangguk."Kira aku tidak punya banyak pilihan, Anda benar, Anda adalah teman-teman kita, satunya kanan Anda tahu" dia bergumam, berdiri di depan mechs besar."Anda mungkin atau mungkin tidak sudah tahu ini sekarang, tapi ayah Jack, suami saya-" dia mengambil napas lambat."-Mati
