A New Golden Age (Transformers Prime)

Chapter 24 - Wheeljack's Party (Marry You)

Aura's P.O.V.

"About time you two showed up!" said Wheeljack. He was waiting for me and Smokescreen, leaning against the front door of his apartment building. He lived on the top floor, in the V.I.P. suite. "Sorry to keep you waiting Wheeljack." I apoligized. "No need. Miko filled me in." replied Wheeljack. "She did, did she?" asked Smokescreen, slightly nervous. "Oh yeah. Come on, the party started minutes ago." said Wheeljack.

The two of us followed Wheeljack through the lobby and into the elevator. He swipped his hotel card and the light indicating the suite flashed and the elevator moved up. "So when did you score a place like this?" asked Smokescreen. "A little after I made the championship. Who knew I could become this famous for fighting in the ring." answered Wheeljack. "Well you are a good fighter. I guess all those years fighting in the Wreakers paid off." I said. "Yes, I guess it did." replied Wheeljack. 

"So Wheeljack, if you don't mind me asking what did Miko tell you?" asked Smokescreen. 

*******

Eve was there, rested up and walking in with her parents. "Where's Aunty Aura?!" "She should be here by now sweetspark." replied Knockout. The three of them entered the elevator and and rode up to the top floor. The doors opened and the room was filled with mechs and femmes having a good time. There was a DJ, a dance floor in the middle of the room, energon bar, holographic video games, and more.

Eve instantly took off for one of the video games and Elyon shook her helm with a smile. "Takes after you, sweetspark." "Hey guys you made it!" said Smokescreen as he walked over to the pair. "Where's Aura?" asked Knockout. "Over here. Old memories from Earth coming back. Couldn't stop her if I tried." answered Smokescreen as he pointed at me over at the holographic game station.

Eve watched me with wide optics, positively adorable. Me, Cole, Jack, and Miko were playing Zombie mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. "Now Eve, your too young for this so listen carefully. When I tell you to cover your optics, do it okay?" I asked.

"I know dis! I get high scores all the time!"

"You play Black ops Zombies?" asked Cole. "Here Eve, take my place." said Jack as he handed her the controller. I selected the difficulty to medium, and the map. Origins. The map set during World War 1 on a battlefield somewhere in the country side of France.

Eve of course was easily winning.

"You weren't kidding when you said you knew this." said Cole. "Nice job." I added. The four of us made it all the way to round twenty before dying. We had powered up all the generators, completed the fire staff, and found the giant tank. "Not too shabby." said Wheeljack.

**********

For the rest of the party we all ate, drank, played, and danced the night away. I was now sitting at one of the tables drinking some energon. I was nearly tired out after everything I did here. "Having fun?" asked Smokescreen as we walked over towards me. "You bet! Just taking a short break." I replied while taking a sip of energon. "I'm glad." he said with a smile.

"Hey Smokescreen! Can you lend a servo over here?" asked Wheeljack who was over at the DJ booth with a mech named Blaster. "Sure." answered Smokescreen. "Be right back." He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before taking off.

I chuckled a bit as I watched him leave. "So sweet." I thought. I sat there in silence for a while until Blasters voice came up on the microphone. "Alright everyone listen up! I'm afraid the party is coming to a close." There were a few 'awes' and 'boos' from the audience. "Hey don't blame me! I ain't hosting this party!" said Blaster in self defence. "It's Jackie's party!"

There were a few laughs from the audience as Wheeljack joined Blaster up at the DJ booth. "Just get on with it man." ordered Wheeljack. "My bad." replied Blaster. As I watched the two talk I noticed Smokescreen wasn't up there with them anymore. He was there a while ago, wasn't he?

"Anyways, this final song is a big shout out to our good friend Aura. Cybertrons future queen everyone, give her a round of applause!" said Blaster. Everyone clapped and cheered more me, raising their glasses in the air. I stood up, smiling and waving at everyone thanking them. I looked around and still no sign of Smokescreen. Where was he?

"Get over here Aura. We got a surprise for you." said Wheeljack as he jumped down from the booth and walked towards me. "We?" I asked. Wheeljack only replied with a smirk as he helped me up from my chair and guided me through the crowd, placing me in the middle of the dance floor. "Now stay, and wait here." he said as he stepped into the crowd. "Hit it!" "I'm on it!" Cole inserted his iPod into the machine and selected the song.

I listened to the beat of the song, recognizing the instruments being used. A song written by Bruno Mars. I couldn't help but blush when the lyrics of the song played and Smokescreen stepped forward.

"It's a beautiful night,

we're looking for something fun to do.

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you!

is it the look in your eyes?

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares baby! I think I wanna marry you!"

He walked up in front of me and extended his hand towards me. I took it, and we danced along to the music together.

"Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go!

No one will know!

Oh come on girl?

Who cares if we're trash,

Got a pocket full of cash,

We can blow!

Shots of patron, and it's on girl!"

"Did you plan this?" I asked him. "Maybe. Aura, I know your, well, our fates have already been decided back on Velocitron. But if we're going to go through with this, I want to do this right. Just for you." explained Smokescreen. "Smoke'? Are you saying?" I asked.

"Don't say no, no, no, no, no!

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

And we'll go, go, go, go, go!"

"If you're ready?" asked Smokescreen. "Like I'm ready!" I sang in reply with the music. The both of us laughed as we continued dancing.

"It's a beautiful night,

We're looking for something fun to do.

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you!

Is it the look in your eyes?

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares baby! I think I wanna marry you!"

The music was beginning to slow down and decrease in volume. As it did, Smokescreen took one of my servos with his and he got down on one knee, right in front of everyone. I couldn't help but blush and cover my mouth as the audience was starting to get excited.

"Princess Aura, will you marry me?" asked Smokescreen.

Small tears were beginning to form in my optics. I looked around at all my friends and family who were giving me big smiles and a thumbs up. I looked back at Smokescreen, smiling at him as I nodded.

"Of course I will."
