I wanted to do this for a freakin' long time! and here it is! > : 3

WARNING: This is gonna make you bawl your eyes out! (just as I bawled my eyes out when I wrote this ;n; )

-----------

(it was a rather quiet evening in Jasper,Nevada. no cons were in sight and Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead were out of the base with the 3 human children they were guarding. Ratchet was busy in his medical bay. Sophie came back to the base with Optimus Prime, relieved to hear from Ratchet that there were no signs of Decepticon activity.)

Ratchet: well, It is certainly good that no decepticons have interrupted. Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead returned from their scouting mission and gathered some Energon when we were running low on it again.

Optimus: Excellent work, old friend.

Ratchet: it is the best I can do.

(Optimus then takes a look at his Human....Lythian Companion who...appeared to have a faraway look on her face. he knew that expression very well, when humans have that expression, something was up. he remembered it when he saw Rafael sad.)

Optimus: Sophie, Are you alright?

Sophie: W-Wha...? oh, uhh...yeah, I'm fine.

Ratchet: are you not feeling well?

Sophie: other than the fact I had a headache this morning I'm fine. I'm just...Can't really explain it very well, but I have a lot going on in my mind.

Optimus: I am well aware of that. You have been unusually quiet for two days now.

Sophie: I'm sorry.

Ratchet: hmmm... let me scan you just in case.

Sophie: Oh uhh okay...

(Ratchet scans Sophie to see if she had any medical problems.)

Ratchet: hmm...I do not see any signs of physical hurt, so there are no signs of Illnesses. but what I did notice is that there were small signs of what humans call anxiety and depression that somewhat affect you inside.

Sophie: what? me? depressed? nah, I'm always cheerful and carefree and...and...

Optimus: Do not force yourself to hide your emotions.

Sophie: ....?

Optimus: That expression on your face...I can tell that you are very sad, are you not?

Sophie: ....

(Upon gazing at the sad expression Sophie made, Optimus crouches down)

Optimus: Sophie...tell me what is wrong?

Sophie: I-I...

Optimus: Perhaps you would like for us to talk in privately?

Sophie: Yeah, that'd be good.

Ratchet: then I shall continue my work until you two get back.

(Optimus nods and heads out with Sophie to the desert so they could watch the sunset and talk things out.)

Optimus: Now then, what is it that is bothering you? you do not look like your usual self.

Sophie: Well...I can't really explain it properly but...as you can see, A lot's been going on in my mind.

(Optimus listened to Sophie)

Sophie: (sighs) its just....ever since I came back from the War on Tarlax, I feel like nothing has really changed. you see, I've been on Earth ever since I was a baby.
and I didn't have an easy life mostly because of my powers, and everyone treated me like an outcast. they hated me and feared me, that's one of the main reasons I ran away from home, and met a couple of friends who accepted me as I am. I also made new rivals on the way. and when the time came when I could use my powers properly, I contributed to using them for the sake of defending humanity from evil forces that threatened its existence. I wanted to be a hero. so it went really good when I was achieving my childhood dream. but that didn't last for long....

Optimus: ....?

Sophie: I was tortured, beaten and almost killed by a mad vengeful freak that wanted to destroy everything using my powers. I refused his offer but that cost me a lot.
I eventually succeeded in bringing him down. but when my powers were growing, the humans became aware of it. and... they betrayed me as result. I spent 7 months running away from the government before I'd be captured and killed. then My older brother, Caedos showed up, and revealed that I never belonged to this world in the first place. that I belong to the Lythian race of Planet Tarlax. when I saw the face of evil in humanity, I lost almost all reason to defend them because of those horrid experiences I've been through.

Optimus:

Sophie: and then by some accident I ended up returning home to the world I originated from and found the truth about my past. all the while I and alongside my new friends, fought a war that raged on for centuries. and nearly ended in the planet's destruction by flames. and now that I've come back here, To Earth, I still feel like a stranger in an unknown world. the three days of torture, Humanity's betrayal, and the war that almost destroyed my homeworld. as well as losing valuable friends on the way...and the fate I have to carry since the day I was born. but its not those things that hurt me the most inside...Losing friends, Home and the people you thought could be trusted. the saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from enemies. it comes from friends and loved ones, people you put your whole trust in. that is what hurts the most, more than anything else.

(Optimus felt a twinge of sadness at her words. he remembered his home, Cybertron, full of life before the great war brought its destruction. and he remembered the carefree and courageous Stormracer, and the bull headed and brave cliffjumper. neither of them backed down from a fight until the very end. and was reminded of his responsibilities as a Prime, the Leader of the Autobots. and the betrayal of someone he held dear to him, Megatron, one of the main reasons the war started in the first place. those things weigh heavily on his spark for as long as he could remember. yet he rarely gave in to such emotions.)

Optimus: I am deeply sorry you have had to go through these things. you have surely endured great suffering.

Sophie: ....

Optimus: but you still have made it through it all despite the heavy weight on your shoulders. those experiences may have been hard for you, yet you have made it alive today. your intentions to defend this planet are very noble. most in hardships would give in and lose their way to the darkness. but you have kept fighting it for a long time. and I do not see how anyone can see it as folly for that. and yes, Sophie, I am well aware of how sometimes humans show their violence, cruelty and greed to one another and to things they do not understand. our kind was no different in that regard. they are a young species and have much to learn. but despite their darkest histories, I have seen goodness in them. there is goodness in everyone. even in those who are considered the most evil of beings.

(Sophie smiled a bit and looked at the sunset. but then that smiled faded...when she felt tears begin to show up in her eyes.)

Sophie:

(Optimus noticed Sophie's emerald green eyes filling up with...tears? )

Optimus: Sophie...your eyes...

Sophie: ...!

(Sophie then gazed away from Optimus, trying to hold back her tears.)

Sophie: (squeezes her eyes shut) Sorry! just something entered my eyes, that's all.

(but the Prime was quick to notice those tears she tried to hold back were real.)

Optimus: No... It is not healthy for you to force yourself to hold back your emotions.it will only make that pain stronger and devour you inside. when you feel sad it is better to allow yourself to cry.

(at that, a few Tears streamed down Sophie's face.)

Sophie: Oh man, its been a long while since last time my eyes were filled up with tears...hehe...

Optimus: perhaps those tears are the tears you tried to hold back for a long while. do not think about it too much right now. just cry out all your heart.

Sophie: Hey, if you keep saying that, I don't think I'll be able to stop crying any time soon. I-I mean, being such a crybaby Isn't me at all. it makes me feel like a...a...

Optimus: ...Human...

(The Prime then used his servo and gave the Lythian a gentle nudge, before he used both servos and picked her up from the ground)

Optimus: Sophie... you put too much blame on yourself for things that you could not control. Tears are not a form of weakness. quite far from it. It is only a way to alleviate our pain. it is a completely human concept, one that I've learned while being on this planet. as I have heard from humans when someone sheds tears, his soul is being free and cleansed. laughter may be the best medicine. but sometimes, tears can heal the inner wounds better.

Sophie: O-Optimus... ;///n///;

Optimus: (in a gentle voice) no one is here but you and me. (moves her closer to his chest, towards his pulsing spark) it is alright now, Sophie. go ahead and cry out your pain. cry as much as you need to, until you have no more tears left to shed. I am here with you.

Sophie:

(The Lythian then began to tremble in Optimus' servos, letting out small silent sobs, when she finally began to shed the tears she held in for so long. a few seconds later, her sobs became a bit louder, as she buried her face on Optimus' massive chest, gushing out all the pent up worry she held inside, and let herself cry, refusing to hold back any emotion as Optimus gently rubbed the back of the small alien being in his grasp, while holding her close to his chest, offering the encouragement and comfort she needed most. silently reminding her that she is not alone.)

Sophie:

(the pain she felt was too deep, too unbearable, as it all came flowing out of her chest with each tear she was shedding, and each sob she let out, as she cried in Optimus' arms. she may be a strong individual, yet she still possessed a very fragile and sensitive heart. she felt just like a little child who was lost and abandoned for a long time. and now with the Prime helping her release all the sadness she felt. feeling the warmth coming from the pulsing light beneath his massive chest. it was easier for her to let it all out. like she finally finds a way back to the light she cherished her whole life...a way back to the place she called her home.)

(two hours have passed since Sophie stopped crying. she was feeling a bit tired from all that crying, but the burdens she carried in her heart and the despair she was feeling were gone. and she gazed up at the Autobot leader.)

Optimus: are you alright now, Sophie?

Sophie: yeah (sniffles) thanks, Prime...I'm feeling a bit better now. sorry if I was bothering you.

Optimus: there is no need for you to apologize, Sophie. everyone needs a good cry sometimes. I have learned that from the humans.

Sophie: true dat... I guess we can learn a lot of things from humans.

Optimus: Indeed... but now I believe you will need to rest. all that crying surely have made you...quite tired. and Ratchet may likely be worried by now.

Sophie: heh... can't argue with that... and...please keep it between us, okay?

Optimus: That, I will.

(and after a long while, Sophie smiled at the Prime. Optimus returned that smile, glad that he was able to help her in her time of need. they returned to the base. as Sophie layed down on the sofa, she thought about what Optimus had said to her, that sometimes its okay to cry and let all the pain out. she'd definitely need to keep that in mind.)

Sophie: (thinking as she looked at her hand) Today, I've learned something...I may be a Lythian by blood... but my heart, is human.

(and with that, She closed her eyes, allowing peace to fill her mind, body, heart, soul and spirit, as she fell into a deep sleep. and it was a better sleep than she ever had in a long while.)
