Jazz parked in front of the familiar house,
"I heard back from Arcee,"
Mikaela looked at him,
"Really?"
Jazz's holo-form appeared in the driver's seat,
"Yeah. She got disowned,"
Mikaela's eyes widened,
"What?!"
Jazz nodded,
"Yes. She explained what that means as well,"
Mikaela sighed,
"Holy shit,"
Jazz stepped out outside,
"Hey! Where are you going?"
Jazz glanced at Mikaela,
"What I should have done,"
Mikaela sighed,
"Well, do you-"
"You stay here,"
Mikaela sighed,
"Fine,"
Jazz walked up to the door and knocked. It took a while but Ron opened up the door. Ron took a look at Jazz and sighed,
"Sorry, we don't need anything you are selling,"
Jazz stopped the door,
"I'm not a seller human,"
Ron stopped in confusion and looked at him,
"Who are you?"
Jazz took off his sunglasses and looked at Ron with his bright blue,
"My name is Jazz. We never truly did get a chance to meet. I'm your daughter's guardian,"
Ron's eyes widened in shock,
"You are an Autobot?"
Jazz nodded,
"Yes,"
"You have human forms?"
Jazz shrugged,
"Well, technically yes. We call them holo-forms,"
Ron nodded and glanced behind him,
"Is she?"
Jazz shook her head,
"I didn't come with Maze, she went with a different Autobot, her name is Arcee. She did not want me to come because she was worried that Judy would recognize me and get mad that Sam lied about where they were staying,"
Ron sighed and nodded,
"Okay, just...Judy's not in a good mood, so don't take anything to heart,"
Jazz looked at him,
"No offense, but I took it to heart when she disowned Maze,"
Ron frowned in confusion,
"How?"
"Arcee told me after Maze told her,"
Ron nodded,
"Judy!"
Judy walked in and looked at Jazz,
"Hello, who are you?"
Jazz stuck out his hand,
"My name is Jazz,"
Judy shook his hand and slowly nodded,
"Okay, do we know you from somewhere?"
Jazz smiled and nodded his head,
"I'm the guardian of Mazikeen. We Autobots have holo-forms to blend in with humans,"
Judy's eyes widened and she sighed,
"What do you want?"
"I want answers,"
"To?"
Jazz glanced around the small home,
"Why did you disown Maze?"
Judy rolled her eyes and frowned,
"She won't listen to anything I tell her. She is an adult and is no longer in this family because of her disobedience,"
Jazz looked at her,
"She has never been disobedient in her entire life. She has been doing what she wanted to do. She is an amazing, creative, and independent person. She is kind, and thoughtful, and will do everything in her power to protect those she cares about. I have only known her for less than a year, but I know that she will fight for everything she believes in. You should be proud of who you raised. Ron is, why can't you be proud of your own daughter? I don't understand. I would do anything to see my mother again, she died a very very long time ago...and I hope and pray that she would be proud of who I am,"
Judy sighed and sat down,
"I just want her to be like me. I want my daughter to be similar to me. I have never been able to connect with Mazikeen. I don't recognize her, I haven't been able to since she joined the army...I lost my daughter and I can't get her back,"
Jazz frowned and shook his head,
"You can! You can get her back. That's why she was here! To try to get her mother back. She loves you. Maze will always love you. No matter how badly you mess up, she will come back and protect you. That's what makes Maze so special, she cares and will do everything in her power to protect those she loves,"
Judy looked down,
"She won't come back,"
Jazz picked up a familiar device that was on the floor,
"Yes, she will,"
Judy looked up and stared in confusion at the device in his hands,
"What's that?"
Jazz smiled and gave it to her,
"This is Maze's pride and joy, she is a suit of armor with artificial intelligence called Phoenix."
Judy tilted her head in confusion,
"She created more with Artificial Intelligence?"
Jazz nodded,
"Yes, she did. Your daughter is extremely smart,"
Judy looked up at him and noticed the expression on his face,
"You really do care about her,"
Jazz smiled and nodded,
"Yes, I do,"
Judy sighed and stood up,
"You have to promise me that you will protect her. From sacrificing herself like she just did and from anyone trying to hurt her,"
Jazz nodded,
"I promise with my life,"
Judy nodded,
"Good, I'll wait for her to come back,"
Jazz smiled at her,
"Good...just don't tell her I was here...she will find a way to get back at me,"
Judy smirked,
"Yes, she will,"
Jazz quickly left and got back into his alt-mode. Mikaela looked at him,
"So?"
Jazz smirked,
"I think I just knocked some sense into her,"
Mikaela laughed,
"I thought you would,"
Jazz glanced at her,
"Is that why you let me?"
Mikaela nodded,
"Yep,"
They made sure they were hidden as they heard Arcee's engine coming back. Mazikeen looked at the door and Arcee sighed,
"Maze, you can do this,"
Mazikeen nodded,
"Yeah...yeah I can,"
She walked up to the door and before she could knock, it flew wide open and Mazikeen locked eyes with her mother,
"I left something here,"
Judy pulled her into a hug,
"I'm sorry. I was a bad mother to you,"
Mazikeen's eyes widened in shock,
"What?"
Judy gently tugged her in and closed the door,
"A friend of yours stopped by. He ranted to me about how amazing you are and how I should be proud of you. I'm sorry I haven't been seeing you for a long time. But, I want to try again,"
Mazikeen's jaw dropped,
"Who?"
Judy smirked and wrapped an arm around her shoulder,
"Oh, just some guy...well...Autobot as you call them,"
Mazikeen blushed and groaned,
"Oh no,"
Judy laughed and nodded,
"Yes, very polite friend, well, after he finished telling me how wrong I was for saying what I did. I should have never disowned you like that. I was angry and frustrated. I am sorry,"
Mazikeen sighed and nodded,
"I forgive you, mom...just...let's start from scratch,"
Judy smiled and nodded,
"Agreed. Now. You need to be more careful,"
Mazikeen sighed,
"I know, I have been told that by everyone today,"
Judy smiled and took out her phone,
"Do not make me call that general of yours,"
Mazikeen's eyes widened,
"How?"
Judy smirked,
"As soon as I knew you had a general, I made sure to contact him. He was the one that called me about Qatar, and any bad injuries that you got from fighting,"
Mazikeen sighed,
"Of course,"
Judy laughed and put a hand on her shoulder,
"Just go back to your home, and visit two times a year, got it?"
Mazikeen smiled and nodded,
"I will,"
Judy handed her Phoenix,
"Here you are, I think Phoenix wanted to stay a little,"
Mazikeen laughed and put her back in her pocket,
"Yeah, I guess so,"
Ron walked in and hugged his daughter,
"Be safe,"
Mazikeen hugged him back,
"I will,"
She left and gave a thumbs up to Arcee before looking around. She finally spotted the silver Pontiac and walked up to it and Mikaela's eyes widened when she noticed Mazikeen walking toward them,
"Oh, we got caught,"
"I think you are right,"
Mazikeen smirked as she tapped on the window,
"Hello, what brings you here to this nice neighborhood,"
Mikaela winced,
"Jazz wanted to stretch his wheels?"
"Hey! Don't put this on me!"
Mazikeen laughed and Arcee joined them,
"I want to take Mikaela back to the house,"
Mazikeen gasped,
"Arcee?"
Mikaela laughed and got out,
"Let's race!"
Mazikeen sighed,
"Okay okay,"
She quickly got in Jazz and his seatbelt automatically shot around her and the door closed,
"Ready, Lil M?"
Mazikeen nodded,
"Yes,"
They immediately took off and Mazikeen patted his dashboard,
"Thank you,"
"You are welcome, I couldn't just sit and watch that happen,"
Mazikeen smiled and leaned back into the seat,
"You could have,"
"And what would you have told everyone when we got back?"
Mazikeen winced,
"Shit, yeah...Sarah would have screamed at her. Mother vs Mother show-down."
Jazz chuckled,
"Exactly,"
Mazikeen smiled and gently placed a kiss on his dashboard,
"I appreciate it all the same,"
Jazz's engine sputtered as his spark warmed,
"G-Get some sleep. You had a long day,"
Mazikeen giggled closed her eyes,
"You don't have to get nervous. Goodnight, love you, Jazz,"
Jazz felt his spark pull again at the words that left her mouth,
"Goodnight, Lil M...love you too,"
