Description
Knockouts loving his new life in texas, he has no one to nag him, he has new drivers to go up against in races, and his new family adores him even though he is different. Awhile back, knockout was having nightmares about mech finding his new home, and hurting his new family, so when he had a nightmare about losing everything he decided to tell Kayla. He wanted to keep it from her so she wouldn't worry, but to his relief, she understood and was thankful he told her.
she asks to go sleep with him and he takes her with him to bed. that night, Kayla was awake, she said she understood what was going on, but deep in her mind, she worried about her parents, the bots, and knockouts safety. she got tired of people coming to her rescue, she wanted to protect the people she loved, so she made a hard decision that would benefit her and her family... but it would also take a toll on her and knockouts status.

Knockout and Kayla are going to Unit E to visit the bots to see how everything's going as well as to see jack and how he is

Kayla walks in to see knockout after saying bye to her parents, their going to be leaving to work so they have an overnight shift
Kayla: Knockout! its time to go, Are you ready?
Knockout is walking around to make sure everything is cleaned
Knockout then smiles
Knockout: Yes yes, im ready I had to make sure everything is tidy when we come back
Kayla: Thats good, make sure to bring your buffer!!
Knockout goes to grab the red buffer kayla decorated for him
Knockout sighs
Knockout: how can I forget, I miss my old one, and id still have it if it weren't for Smokescreen breaking it
Kayla: Hey, he asked politely so I couldn't be rude
Knockout puts his hands on his hips and cocks his head, making a face
Knockout: Yet hes rude to me..
Kayla: oh dont make that face, you two have been bullying each other for awhile. just because your mean to him, doesn't mean I will.
Knockout then receives a call
Knockout: We're ready--- mhm--alright
knockout goes to pick up Kayla
Knockout: I guess thats why I love you, you have a kind spark.. I mean heart... but next time, dont lend him my stuff, anyone but him
he sighs
Kayla giggles
Kayla: okay, I will ask you next time, if you act a little kinder to him
Knockout smirks and winks
Knockout: we will see
the bridge then open's and they leave
------------

knockout and Kayla arrive to see very little faces
Kayla: hey Ratchet...
she looks around
Kayla: where is everybody?
Ratchet then walks up to them
Ratchet: its good to see you both again, rightnow Bulkhead, Ultramagnus and wheel jack are exploring one of cybertons moons
Kayla: And bumblebee?
Ratchet: Bumblebee actually works on cybertron now in the elite guard as a lieutenant
Kayla: I didn't know that
ratchet: Knockout didnt tell you
Kayla looks at knockout with a straight face
Kayla: No, he didnt... I didnt even get to say goodbye
Arcee: Dont worry Kayla, he comes back every now and then
Kayla: Arcee! you look good
Arcee was sporting her reversed colors ( pink and blue)
Knockout: Wow, never thought id see you sporting such a "girly" color
arcee walks up and punches his arm
Arcee: Shut it, it was for a mission I was assigned
Smokescreen then enters the room
Smokescreen: yeah, that was like a week ago
he nudges her with his elbow
Smokescreen: Its starting to grow on her
Arcee playfully throws a fake punch making smokescreen coward
Arcee: Dont go there, or should I tell them about the oil situation
Smokescreen: okay! never mind, forget what I said
Knockout: oh I would love to hear this story
Smokescreen looks at knockout
Smokescreen: Oh, your here I didnt even see you knocky
Knockout gently places Kayla down
Knockout: one moment dear...
he walks toward smokescreen annoyed
Knockout: care to finish what we started last time kid??
The both stare at one another
Kayla: what's their problem?
Jack then emerges from the other room with Raf and Miko
Jack: Smokescreen whacked knockout in the head by accident while trying to catch a Decepticon
Miko: He knocked him out so hard that knockout was saying a lot of random stuff, I recorded the whole thing when they carried him in! You wanna see!
while this is going on knockout and smokescreen are slapping each others hands like children fighting
Knockout then turns his head toward miko
Knockout: you recorded me at my weakest moment???!
Miko rolled her eyes
Miko: Dont you always have weak moments?
Knockout: Why you little...
Kayla: Ahem, knockout, be nice, and its okay miko. (she then whispers to miko " send me the video" )
miko giggles and Kayla goes up to jack and hugs him
Kayla: Its so good to see you jack, im glad your doing okay
Jack embraces her hug
Jack: It wasn't to bad, I just had minor injuries but u healed up pretty fast
Kayla: Thats good! You know, I never got to thank you for what you did
Jack rubs the back of his head
Jack: oh, it was nothing... I would've done that for anyone, vince is just a jerk and I just got tired of him putting people down
Kayla: well, karma will bite him in the butt eventually
Jack: Actually, here's the thing, the following day, his car was totaled and his dad embarrassed him in front of half school
Kayla: um.. Like I said... Karma
Kayla thinks back to the following day after the incident and remembered that knockout punished him by crushing his car, and threatening him
Kayla then looks over and sees Raf
Kayla: hey kiddo, how have you been doing?
Raf smiles
Raf: Hey Kayla, ive been good
Kayla senses that hes a little upset since hes looking at his small race car
Kayla: You miss bee huh
Raf: Yeah..
Kayla: hey, how about we all play some video games like the old days? I bet I can beat your high score!
Raf then cheers up
Raf: Okay!
Kayla and Raf run to the couch
Miko: I CALL THE WIRELESS CONTROLER!
she then runs behind them
Jack: hey guys wait up! I can't run at the moment!
They all laugh and wait for him
The bots smile and have their own conversation
--
Arcee: so, knockout, how is it in Texas?
knockout sits down
Knockut: Surprisingly, I'ts been good. I can walk around the house without worrying about another human seeing me, and they have some decent roadways for racing
Ratchet: And Kaylas parents? how have they been towards you?
Knockout: they've been really kind towards me, her dad and I actually had a lot in common, and her mom is kindhearted and teaches me a lot of human customs
Smokescreen: wow, im surprised you haven't ran them off yet since you know, your constantly nagging
knockout: Dont start with me smokescreen
all of a sudden Kayla is heard talking to them from the couch while she's playing games
Kayla: You two knock it off and be nice to each other!
Knockout: of course dear
he then realizes what he says
Arcee: Dear??
Smokescreen begins to laugh
Ratchet rolls his eyes
Knockout: Shut up smokescreen!
knockout puts his hand in smokescreens face and shoves him down as he continues to laugh hysterically
Knockout gets embarrassed
Arcee: Knockout, You know we all know right?
Knockout: What!
Arcee: its okay, no ones judging you. we all knew about it
Knockout: How?
he then looks at miko smokescreen and jack
Miko: hey, dont look at me doc, my lips were sealed
Jack: I said it wasn't my business
knockout then stares at smokescreen looking like hes about to beat him up
Knockout: Smokescreen!!
Smokescreen: IT WASNT ME!!
Raf sits and stares at what's going on while drinking his soda
Raf: did I miss something
he takes a sip
Kayla casually says -
Kayla: Me and Knockout are a couple now
Raf spits out his soda in shock
Raf: WH-WHAT!
They all laugh
Kayla: sorry for the surprise Raf, I kinda thought bee would've told you
Raf: no, but this is new information for me
Arcee: knockout settle down, ive known for awhile, no one told me anything
Knockout: so how did you find out
Arcee: well, you were always getting jealous of smokescreen, Bumblebee, and jack approaching her, you would get upset when she chose to go with jack places, you would try to one up people who would say nice things to her, and you both made things obvious... oh and we made a bet
Knockout: We??
Arcee: Me, Bulk, Bumblebee and Smokescreen
Knockout: oh great... my relationship is a game to everyone
Kayla walks down and sits next to him
Kayla: its okay knockout, they're our family, and family is supposed to tease about things like this.
Agent fowler then shows up
everyone acknowledges him
Ratchet: fowler, its good to see you, what if I may ask are you doing here
Fowler: I heard knockout and Kayla were stopping by, so I thought I would drop in
he looks at Kayla
Fowler: Kayla, can I see you in my office?
Kayla nods
knockout then gets up with Kayla
Fowler: Alone
Knockout is puzzled by the request and just shrugs
Kayla: Of course
Kayla then goes into the office and talks with fowler
---
30 min pass and Kayla finally walks out with fowler and he shakes her hand
knockout and the bots were talking about how Bumblebee is doing while she was talking
knockout sees her carrying some folder and is curious on what's inside it
Kayla: Im really glad I got to see all of you, but its time of knockout and I to get going
they all say their goodbyes and Kaylas gives the kids hugs, they wave goodbye one last time before entering the ground bridge
--------
Kayla: well that was fun, Im gonna go to bed now
Knockout: already? its only 8pm?
Kayla: im just sleepy.. video gaming takes a lot out of you
Knockout raises his brow
Knockout: kayla... video gaming doesn't make you sleepy.. what's wrong
Kayla: its nothing knockout
Knockout: dont lie to me, you were in that office with fowler forever, and whats with the folder???
Kayla: its nothing okay??
Knockout is shocked by how fast she became irritated
Kayla: We can talk about it tomorrow
Knockout: No
Kayla: Knockout just drop it okay
she tries to storm off until he picks her up
Kayla: Knockout put me down right now!
Knockout: I won't! not until you tell me what's going on! you never act like this towards me and I refuse to let you go to sleep when somethings bothering you!
Kayla begins to cry and knockout takes a step back
Knockout: NO, please dont cry, im sorry! I just wanted to make sure you were okay... ive known you long enough to know something's bothering you... and I just wanna help
Kayla: Its not you, its me!
she rubs her eyes
knockout sits down and brushes her hair back
Knockout: tell me what's wrong sweetness...
Kayla takes a deep breath in
Kayla: Im leaving with fowler...
Knockout is shocked by what he just heard
Knockout: leaving?? what do you mean leaving? where are you going??
Kayla: Im not sure yet..
Knockout: No, your not leaving anywhere, ive already lost you once, and I said I wasn't leaving your side! I refuse to let you do this
Kayla starts tearing up
Kayla: I have to knockout!
Knockout: Then im going with you
Kayla: you can't, you need to stay here
Knockout: NO
he then transforms and goes Into his holoform
He runs up to her and holds her
Knockout: im not losing you again Kayla
Kayla cries and he just holds her
she then steps back and gives him the folder
knockout begins to read it
knockout: your leaving to go train for a year.. out of the United States...
Kayla walks up to him
Kayla: Knockout I love you...and I love my family... but I need to do this
Knockout: kayla.. we just got here... were safe here... your safe under my protection, you dont need to go do training somewhere else, far far away..
Kayla caresses his cheek
Kayla: Knockout... please...
Knockout continues to read
Knockout: your departures tomorrow!!!! I won't let you go!
Kayla grabs him and holds him
Kayla: knockout, you've always been there to protect me, your always saving me and being there when I need you... but there's times where you could've died... jack was hurt and I couldn't do anything, mech was trying to hurt my family and i couldn't do anything... Im tired of being weak... you've done so much for me, you've cared, and loved me with everything you have... but you need to let me do this... I want to be able to protect the people I love, and this training will help me...
she tears up
when you and I were kidnapped by mech... I thought id never see you again... seeing them hurt you killed me...and I felt weak that I couldn't help you... I couldn't stop thinking about our last moment together... if we never fought.. you wouldn't have gone to the dance, and we wouldn't have gotten taken.. I just want to protect everyone...
knockout: Kayla, I love you, and I get it, I was afraid of them hurting you, thats the only reason I gave myself up to them... I wanted to protect you, your life means so much to me.. but you dont need to do this..
Kayla: I know I dont need to, but I want to... if you loved me truly you would understand... fowler said id be with other Americans working on a base full of security.. its a base full of people who already know about you guys... they will train me in weapon use, fighting, and working undercover for the military... fowler insured me that you and my parents would be safe.. and if you and I do adopt a child one day.. I want to make sure Im ready for anything.. weather its con or minerva..
knockout sighs... and holds her hands
Knockout: have you told your parents yet
Kayla: I will tomorrow..
Knockout: so.. this is our last night together?
Kayla: Im sorry... the faster I start.. the sooner I come home.. to my family.. and you
knockout kisses her and holds her tight
knockout: I love you... even though it kills me that you'll be far away.. if this is what you want to do then I will understand... but you need to promise to keep contact..
Kayla: I will knocky
knockout: kayla
Kayla: Yes? knockout...
knockout: if this is our last night together.. I want to make it special
Kayla: how?
Knockout thinks
Knockout: I actually have something for you... I was gonna wait.. but here
he gives her a big white bag
Kayla: what is this?
knockout: I bought it when we were in Paris.. get dressed up and meet me back here
Kayla nods and heads back to the house
--
Kayla is undressing and opens the bag, and she tears up
it was the beautiful red tiered dress she saw in the window of one of the shops, it was made of satin and looked beautiful, she pulled it out of the bag and a small box fell out
she picked it up and opened it up, she saw a note and read it
" my dearest Kayla, you have no idea how much I love you, you've taught me so much and your truly the most amazing thing I have in my life, and I want to spend the rest of this life with you, even though your human, your radiant beauty and kind heart truly won this ex cons spark, I hope you love your gift yours truly~ knockout "
she unwraps the small paper and sees a beautiful floral hair pin with red jewels and polished red stone decorating it.
---
she walks outside to go meet knockout
Kayla: Im back..
Knockout is fixing his tie and looks up to see Kayla
he blushes looking at how beautiful she looks
knockout: kayla, you look absolutely radiant..
Kayla blushes
Kayla: thank you, you look very handsome as well...
Knockout: follow me, I have a surprise
He places his hands over Kaylas eyes and walks her outside, staying close to her so she doesn't fall
knockout: okay, open your eyes
Kayla opens her eyes and smiles
she sees a gazebo with lights decorating it
Kayla: Knockout, this is beautiful... when did you have the time to do this?
Knockout: I have my ways...
he walks over and turns on the speaker in the gazebo thats playing music
Knockout: dearest.. May I have this dance
Kayla smiles and places her hand in his
Kayla: of course
they slow dance with one another to many songs
then they dance to a final song
( this is when the song " so close" by Jon mclaughin plays )
Kayla puts her head on his shoulder and begins to tear up
knockout then sings gently to her
Knockout: " now you're beside me
And look how far we've come"
he holds her closer nd spins her around
Knockout: You mean so much to me
he takes her hands
Knockout: I've loved before.... but.. I never thought id love again until I met you..
Kayla smiles until she feels something on her finger
she looks down as knockout removes his hands
she sees a ring on her finger
she tears up and looks at knockout
Knockout: I learned that this is a human custom... that you gift rings as special gifts to someone you love...to someone you want to spend your life with...Kayla Martinez... I can't give you a family... or a normal life for that matter.. but what I can give you is my spark... you taught me how to be a better bot... and helped me see a better version of myself... and I want to spend my life with you... and even though yours may be shorter then mine, I want to make sure I get to be by your side, every step of the way... will you do me the honor of being my conjunx endura..
Kayla looks at him puzzled
Knockout: Oh! im sorry, thats cybertronian terms... Ahem... will you do m the honor of being my wife
Kayla tears up and smiles
she runs and wraps her arms around knockout kissing him
Kayla: Yes! Absolutely yes!
he smiles in relief and kisses her picking her up and spinning her in the process
Knockout: Before you leave tomorrow... we can tell your parents together. when you look at this ring.. it'll remind you that ill be right here waiting for you
Kayla: I love you
Knockout: I love you too
Knockout then picks up Kayla
Kayla: oh my, where are we going now
Knockout: well... I wanna spend my last night with you.... and your parents aren't here...so I thought maybe we can... well.. have fun before you leave..
Kayla blushes
Kayla: wait you wanna..
Knockout blushes
knockout: If you want to..
Kayla: We can do that??
knockout: I mean I was able to eat food, so I wouldn't t be surprised if we could do this
Kayla: okay then...lets do it
knockout: wait really?
Kayla: Im your conjunx endura so.. yes.
knockout smirks
knockout: yes you are

the end!

knockout: I love you... even though it kills me that you'll be far away.. if this is what you want to do then I will understand... but you need to promise to keep contact..
Kayla: I will knocky
knockout: kayla
Kayla: Yes? knockout...
knockout: if this is our last night together.. I want to make it special
Kayla: how?
Knockout thinks
Knockout: I actually have something for you... I was gonna wait.. but here
he gives her a big white bag
Kayla: what is this?
knockout: I bought it when we were in Paris.. get dressed up and meet me back here
Kayla nods and heads back to the house
--
Kayla is undressing and opens the bag, and she tears up
it was the beautiful red tiered dress she saw in the window of one of the shops, it was made of satin and looked beautiful, she pulled it out of the bag and a small box fell out
she picked it up and opened it up, she saw a note and read it
" my dearest Kayla, you have no idea how much I love you, you've taught me so much and your truly the most amazing thing I have in my life, and I want to spend the rest of this life with you, even though your human, your radiant beauty and kind heart truly won this ex cons spark, I hope you love your gift yours truly~ knockout "
she unwraps the small paper and sees a beautiful floral hair pin with red jewels and polished red stone decorating it.

she walks outside to go meet knockout
Kayla: Im back..
Knockout is fixing his tie and looks up to see Kayla
he blushes looking at how beautiful she looks
knockout: kayla, you look absolutely radiant..
Kayla blushes
Kayla: thank you, you look very handsome as well...
Knockout: follow me, I have a surprise
He places his hands over Kaylas eyes and walks her outside, staying close to her so she doesn't fall
knockout: okay, open your eyes
Kayla opens her eyes and smiles
she sees a gazebo with lights decorating it
Kayla: Knockout, this is beautiful... when did you have the time to do this?
Knockout: I have my ways...
he walks over and turns on the speaker in the gazebo thats playing music
Knockout: dearest.. May I have this dance
Kayla smiles and places her hand in his
Kayla: of course
they slow dance with one another to many songs
then they dance to a final song
( this is when the song " so close" by Jon mclaughin plays )
Kayla puts her head on his shoulder and begins to tear up
knockout then sings gently to her
Knockout: " now you're beside me
And look how far we've come"
he holds her closer nd spins her around
Knockout: You mean so much to me
he takes her hands
Knockout: I've loved before.... but.. I never thought id love again until I met you..
Kayla smiles until she feels something on her finger
she looks down as knockout removes his hands
she sees a ring on her finger
she tears up and looks at knockout
Knockout: I learned that this is a human custom... that you gift rings as special gifts to someone you love...to someone you want to spend your life with...Kayla Martinez... I can't give you a family... or a normal life for that matter.. but what I can give you is my spark... you taught me how to be a better bot... and helped me see a better version of myself... and I want to spend my life with you... and even though yours may be shorter then mine, I want to make sure I get to be by your side, every step of the way... will you do me the honor of being my conjunx endura..
Kayla looks at him puzzled

she runs and wraps her arms around knockout kissing him
Kayla: Yes! Absolutely yes!

Knockout: Before you leave tomorrow... we can tell your parents together. when you look at this ring.. it'll remind you that ill be right here waiting for you

Knockout: I love you too
Knockout then picks up Kayla
Kayla: oh my, where are we going now
