Playing with Kids Solarflare
Featuring Spectrum and Illusion

These days, Autobot City looked more like a center for learning, rather than the huge battle fortress as it had been constructed not too long ago. A school for children whose parents wanted them to learn about peaceful Cybertron had been set up on the outskirts; along with the school came a playground, complete with several Autobot-sized pieces, which were currently being occupied by the only two spark-fusion Transformers around: the mech, Spectrum, and the femme, Illusion – created by Mirage and Solarflare.

The grey femme, Solarflare, stood behind both of her children, giving them gentle pushes in the lower back as they played on the swing set. She was grinning from audio to audio as the two shrieked in pleasure, urging her to go higher and higher.

“To Cybertron, Momma!” Illusion, the younger of the two, cried out, her tiny legs pumping with youthful energy.

Flare laughed. “All right, here we go!” She gave a larger shove, and up the little femme went, screaming with laughter.

“When is Daddy coming back, Momma?” the more serious Spectrum asked.

“Soon, sweetheart.”

“Will he bring us presents?” Illusion squeaked. “Like your pretty scarves?”

Grinning, Flare reached out and ruffled her daughter’s small crest. “Daddy gets those from Italy, not Cybertron.”

“A hoverboard! Like Jake has!” Spectrum crowed.

“No! Wings like Momma!” Illusion pressed.

“I’m sure Daddy has something for each of you that you’ll like very much,” Flare chuckled, peering up at the huge bulk of Autobot City. It was hard to believe that the great sentinel was in stand-down mode, after all this time. But with moments like this, she was even more grateful for the peace. Yes, it was good.
