Who: Mikaela and Sam
What: Mikaela decides it's time to corner Sam and talk to him.
Where: Zone 5, Autobot Base
Summary: Basically, Sam has been acting odd ever since his and Ironhide's chat. Mikaela's noticed this, and while she's asked him about it, he hasn't told her. Well, it's time to FESS UP.
(
Okay, it's time for a heart to heart. )
But then she spoke and the smile was gone and he was gnawing on the bottom of his lip.
"About what?" Sam knew what she was talking about. It was obvious, what else could she be-- well, she could be talking about the girl he met but Sam thought they worked it out. Right?

"But I want to know what's wrong. I'd really, really like it if you told me, Sam." She'd feel a little better about their relationship, too. She's still smarting about that second kiss.

But Mikaela's reaction...
He never expected to fail at this sort of thing. Didn't expect it to be noticeable. And he didn't want to lie to his girlfriend, either. "I swear, it's nothing." If he had to, he'd stall just a bit while his mind tried to figure out how to tell her.

"Please." She doesn't know what else to say to get him to actually talk to her. She doesn't want to give up, though. It's not in her nature.

She was mad at him. "Come on, don't-- fine." He sighed, releasing the air slowly and gnawed on his lower lip. "Okay, I just-- had a talk with someone and I've just been thinking about it. See? Everything is fine."

"What kind of 'stuff' did you guys discuss?"

"Um-- well-- we talked about Ratchet. And-- I-I brought something up and I didn't realize-- He was in stasis lock and that's what happened to--"

"...Optimus?" She guessed softly. She gave him an encouraging look. Keep going, Sam.

And when she guessed right, Sam could only nod. "We-- Hide said something and then--" Another pause. He couldn't say it. Not directly anyway. So he wiggled his hand out of hers and pulled her into a hug.
"Remember when I said I'd fix it? I don't think I did- even with Optimus back. So I-I'm still gonna try. I have to make it right. I don't know how I'm gonna do it but-- maybe if Major Lennox helps then I'll find a way?"

She's trying her best to piece together the things that he is telling her, and when he pulls her into a hug she rests her cheek against his shoulder, holding him tight.
"I remember." She frowns into his shoulder, then swallows the lump in her throat. "Th-that's what you and 'Hide talked about? Sam..."

"Sam..." She tightens her grip on him. "There's no way you could have known what was going to happen." She didn't want to continue pushing him, but...she can't help it.
"And Ironhide...what did he say to you?"
