"Sir, Optimus Prime, Sir!" I said as i turned around.

"At ease" he said.

"I understand if i'm under arrest for my past crimes Sir!" I said.

"Now if i did that, i would be a total hypocrite" he said.

"You would Sir?" I asked.

"Yes, yes i would" he said. "After all, Drift is an Ex-Con" he finished.

"Oh yeah..." i said. "So i'm scott free?" I asked.

"Not quite" he said. "You do still have to answer for your crimes" he continued. "Which is why, i'm giving you a partner" he finished.

"A partner?" I asked.

"To help keep your cover" he said.

"Who'd you have in mind?" I asked.

______________________________________________

"You've got to be kidding me" i said.

"Nope" Optimus said, now in his Western Star 5700XE mode.

"Ok, i get i need a human partner to keep my cover & all that, butt... why her?" I asked.

"Its best it be someone who already knows your secret" he said.

"Ok" i replied.

The Next Day, 7AM

"WTF?!?" screamed Sunset. "The hell are you doing at my apartment?!?" She finished.

"The boss thinks i need a human partner to keep my cover" i informed.

"Isn't that what your HollowForms for?" She asked.

"Its apparently 'not good enough'..., on the bright side you're not the only one in your group this is happening to" i said.

"Wait... who else got partnered up with Autobot's?" She asked.

"Rainbow Dash &... Fluttershy" i said.

"Wait... WHAT?!?" she asked, yelling.

"The fuck?" Asked Rainbow exiting her family's house.

"The boss says some of us need human partners 'to better keep are cover'" said CrossHairs.

"Ok..." said Rainbow.

Shy Residence, 7AM

"Um.... hi, Bumblebee" said Fluttershy.

"Hi Fluttershy" said Bumblebee. "& before you ask, the reason i'm here is because Optimus thinks some of us should have human partners to better blend in" he finished.

"Isn't that what your HollowForms for?" She asked.

"Barricade thought the same thing" he said.

C.H.S., Lunch, 11:05AM

"So you three..." said Pinkie pointing to Me, Bee, & CrossHairs Hollow Forms. "...got paired up with you 3..." she said pointing to Sunset, Fluttershy, & Rainbow Dash. "...because the Autobot leader thought it would be a good idea" she finished.

"Yeah, pretty much" Me, Sunset, Bee, CrossHairs, & Rainbow Dash said at the same time.

"Cool!" Said Pinkie.

"Why tho?, dont you got them fancy Hollow-whats-its for dat?" Asked AppleJack.

"That's what i said" Me, Sunset, & CrossHairs said.

"Fluttershy said it to" said Bee.

"Sounds like it will be interesting" said Rarity.

"Just wait, he'll find Bots to pair up with the rest of you" i said.

"What fun" Twilight said sarcastically.

"Did you just use sarcasm?" Asked Sunset.

"Yeah..." said Twilight.

"Wow... didn't know you had it in you" said Sunset.

"Who do you think Rarity would be paired with?" Asked Pinkie. Me, Bee, & CrossHairs all looked at each other.

"Hot Rod" all 3 of us said at the same time.

Autobot Base, 3:15PM

"So how come you only assigned some of our team human partners?" Asked Hot Rod.

"I needed to look into their history to see if they could be trusted with our secret, the first 3 were easy because they had already known our secret for about a week" said Optimus.

"Guess that's fair" said Hot Rod. "Have you found a partner for me?" He finished.

"Yes" Prime said.

"Does he/her have a name?" He asked. Prime smirked.

"Yes" he said.

Autobot Base, 3:30AM

"right on time" Prime said as Me, Bee, & CrossHairs pulled up with the Mane Si-... Seven... huh... & Spike inside each of our alt modes respectively, once the all got out & we transformed.

"Right on time for what darling?" Asked Rarity.

"Well for you specifically, to meet your new partner" he said.

"Really?, what ever is his name?" She asked.

"Hot Rod" said Hot Rod walking up to us. "Nice to meet you madam" he said bowing to Rarity.

"Well aren't you a gentlema-... gentlebot?" She said.

"Why thank you" he said proudly.

"Of course you got paired up with the british Bot" said AppleJack.

"En fait, je suis français vous tenez" said Hot Rod.

"say what?" Said AppleJack.

"Oh, he was just telling you his french darling" said Rarity snickering, no one noticed the snickering part tho.

"How exactly are you all just so cool about this?" Asked CrossHairs.

"CrossHairs, you just need to learn how to be an optimist" i said. Prime smirked.

"So what about the rest of us?" Asked Pinkie. "Do we get partners to?" She finished.

"I am deciding on the matter" said Prime.

"Yeah i'm in orbit now Boss Bot" said a voice over a comlink.

"Good, i need you to find the safest place to land & then make your way over here, got it" said Prime over the comlink.

"Yeah, sure" said the voice. "I'm assuming that goes for the crew as well" the voice finished.

"Yes SideSwipe, it does" said Prime.

"Sir!, Sir!" Said Onslaught.

"What is it?" Asked Nitro.

"Optimus has decided to give his Autobites human partners, what should we do?" Asked Onslaught.

"We should-" Nitro didn't get to finish because of an alarm.

"Sir..." said Onslaught.

"What is it Onslaught?, spit it out!" Said Nitro.

"It's the Zantheum" said Onslaught.

"..." 'said' Nitro. "FUCK!" he finished.


Author's Note

I am so sorry for the very long delay on this chapter, school just kept stacking shit apon shit on top of me, please forgive me.

Also, who do you want me to pair up the rest of the Mane Seven with? It can be any Autobot, so long as they appeared in one of the five movies.

I don't think the rest of the TF5 bots are good pairings with the rest of the Mane Seven, & before you ask CrossHairs won't be Rainbow Dash's partner permanently, i've got a plan, dont worry. Also if you can guess who her new partner's gonna be ill send you a PM that you guessed it.

P.s.

"En fait, je suis français vous tenez", roughly translates to, "in fact, i'm french you twat"
