*UNDER EDITING*

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

I was getting ready to go on my daily jog, just finishing up breakfast, when I heard beeping outside.
I opened the door, glaring at the sight ahead of me.
I saw Ratchet in his ALT mode, blaring his horns. I stomped up to his ALT mode and opened the door.

"What are you doing?!", I hissed. I felt his interior heat up, only making the heat even more miserable.

"I-I'm supposed to pick you up."
"On a Saturday?!"
"Y-yes."
I sighed. "Fine. I'm ready to go anyways," I hopped in and shut the door.

I started to sweat, seen as it is over 100°F outside.
"U-uh, Ratchet? Do you have a cooling system in here? Cause, I could really use it right now. I feel like a cookie in the oven," I asked.
"Y-yes, of c-course," He stuttered, as the ambulance began to blast refreshing, cool air.

There was an awkward silence that passed through the vehicle, the only noise was that of the rocks beneath Ratchet's wheels, until his broke the silence. "(Y/N)... what's that on your neck?"
"What, this?", I ask, pointing to my choker. "It's a choker."

The ambulance skids to a sudden halt. "A CHOKER?!", he yelps. "Why would you ever CHOKE yourself?!"
"Ratch, cool it! It's only called that because it's tighter than a neckless!"
The ambulance slowly accelerates.

"Anyways, that's not what I meant. I meant the purple object on the 'choker'."

"Oh," I say. "I don't know. My mum gave it to me... the day before she passed..."
"I'm... sorry...", Ratchet says quietly.

"But, I'm getting odd readings from it. It can't be an Earth Gem."

"I'm not sure... I have studied it a bit, I haven't seen material like it before."

"Wait...", he mutters, driving off road and behind a cliff face. He transformers, doing the same thing he did to Arcee, but to me this time. "They have the same readings..."

"As what?", I ask.

"Dark Energon...", he breaths.

"Well, shit," I say.

-------------Time Skip------------

We rolled into base, seeing no one else here. Ratchet walked to his station and began working on the substance that was on Arcee's servo. I had also detached the Energon from my choker, and Ratchet had allowed me to place a small piece of normal Energon in its place for the time being, as he worked on my own piece.

"Hmm... The base of elements of this goo are like nothing I've ever encountered!", Ratchet observed.
"Must be extremely concentrated," I agree.

He walked over to another table.
"To have affected Arcee so rapidly. Unfortunately, complete results are slow-coming without the proper diagnostic tools-"
"Thank you very much Bulkhead," I finished.
Ratchet chuckled, walking back over to the examination table with the sample.

"So, why are you wearing... that?", Ratchet asked, gesturing to my clothing.
"Well, I always go on a jog in the morning. You know, to get in shape," I replied. "Well, I guess I am in shape. I mean, round is a shape," I joke.

Ratchet chuckles slightly.
"Well, it suits you," He says.
I blush. "W-well, umm... th-thanks."
"Of course," Ratchet says, smiling warmly at me.

'God, I think my heart just skipped a beat.'

"Thank goodness for peace and quiet," Ratchet says. "House guests can be such a bother."
I hum and nod in agreement.
