Everyone returned back home, and life went on as it normally should. The Rainbooms including Sunset were turned back into their real bodies again, and there was much rejoicing. They had much time to adjust back to their normal surroundings.

And tonight was a night of celebration! Canterlot High School was preparing a giant party for the Shadowbolts and Rainbooms, along with the Autobots in honor of their victory. Everyone was invited to join them, under certain rules. And outside of CHS was a news team who was doing a story on their victory.

"Good evening Canterlot City, I am Wiretap of the Inquistors. We're here live at Canterlot High School, one of the most popular high schools to ever come here in Canterlot City. And if you haven't heard the recent news, Sunset Shimmer along with her friends the Sonic Rainbooms, have returned back here after a stunning victory with Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots." The female reporter said as she stood at the front of the school.

She turned to look up at one of the newest members of the Autobot alliance, who was just starting to walk towards the school to join in the party.

"Oh, wait! Sir, excuse me?"

The Autobot turned around.

"Alright if I can interview you for a few minutes?"

"I don't see why not, sure."

The Autobot took a knee down so he could be within ear shot of her voice and so he could speak into the microphone.

"So, what is your name?" The reporter held the microphone close so he could speak.

"My name is Steamer. I'm a former Renegade, and I am now a part of Optimus Prime's team, and a new friend of Sunset's."

"And what are you doing right now?" Wiretap asked.

"I am going to go in and join the party, actually."

"Okay, well I just had a question I wanted to ask."

"Shoot."

"What ever made you decide to join the Autobots in the first place?"

"Well, mostly because the Decepticons are horrible people. Taking is one thing, but killing, that's going too far. So, I decided from there, I'd join Sunset and her friends and take part in a rebellion to save the galaxy."

"That's very great to hear, oh and this one other thing, what exactly do you transform into?" Wiretap asked.

"I'll show you."

"Mike, can you uh..."

The camera man and the other reporters backed away, getting a clear view of the Guardian. His head slided into his chest, his arms formed together to create the roller, and his legs bent to the sides to form the back wheels. Once he finished, his pipe on the top started to steam and puff with smoke.

"A steamroller, haven't seen one of those."

"They don't call me Steamer for nothing."

Inside Canterlot High, there was a band playing on stage and guests were partying. Some were sitting at tables talking amongst each other, while others were dancing or playing a party game that was set up. There was no denying everyone was having fun.

And even the Autobots were inside, and while the question of how to get them inside was a question, thanks to Wheeljack, everyone was just shrunk down to human size so they could take part in the fun.

Strongarm, Tracks, Road Rage sat a table along with some of their new friends to get better acquainted with another, and there was smiles all around. No bickering, no arguing, they were nothing but short of pleasant. The Dinobots were rocking out to the music and even dancing with some of the guests.

And as for the Shadowbolts, all of them were dancing with one another in fancy party dresses, and were having a blast. Their guardians were enjoying the party as well as hinted by their dancing. Even Sugarcoat of all people were with them and she was dancing with them.

"This is... the best party ever!" Indigo cheered.

"No doubt about it dude!" Lemon grinned. "Rock on Flash Drive!"

"So Sugarcoat! What are you going to do now?" Sunny asked.

"I'm just going to keep on fighting for what I believe in. And thanks to him... and all of you, I promise to never hurt you guys ever again."

"Awww, that's so sweet of you." Sunny smiled.

Sugarcoat blushed a bit.

"And I have a good feeling, Highbrow would be really proud of you right now Sugarcoat." Outback said in a warm voice.

Sugarcoat smiled back. "I believe he would too."

In another part of the party room, Sunset Shimmer sat a table by her lonesome, as she watched the guests have fun. As much fun as it would be to get up and dance, she just needed to be alone for a bit.

The sound of clanking footsteps got her attention, and she looked up to see Optimus Prime entering in the party room. She gave the leader a warm smile.

"Hey, what are you doing here? I thought Primes don't party."

Optimus looked back to Sunset with a smile.

"I thought for once, I'd join my family for a bit of some fun."

And in a flick of the switch, the lighting of the party instantly changed. The lighting started to turn to dim, and the music began to play a slow song. There were guests visibly dancing with partners amongst each other, and holding each other in a warm embrace.

Optimus looked around, and watched some of the guests dance. But something popped up into his mind.

"Sunset? Aren't you going to dance with someone?"

Sunset sighed. "I don't know, I... I'm not really a good dancer. Also, I think everyone's already got a dance partner."

Optimus looked around the room, and took in some of the guests that were dancing. But as he looked at the array of guests, a small idea came to his head. He looked to Sunset and offered a hand.

"Sunset? May I ask you to dance with me?"

Sunset was shocked. "Y-You want to dance with me?"

Optimus nodded.

"But... but why?"

"Every leader needs a break. And that I think you are more than deserving of a dance after all that you've done for the Autobots."

Sunset smiled. "I... I'd love to."

Sunset took his hand, and the two walked to the dance floor. Sunset was a little worried that she'd be the odd duck out, but she didn't. She was going to be dancing with the closest thing to a father-figure, and it was okay. Besides, she could see some of her friends dancing with a few Bots.

Hand in hand, Optimus and Sunset began to slowly move to the beat. Sunset laid her head on Optimus's chest while he held her close.

"You know Optimus... I'm really glad you're back."

"And so am I. But... I am really proud of you Sunset. You have shown me you are a capable leader. And in my eyes... you are a Prime."

Sunset gave a weak smile as she danced. "I know but... Optimus, I'm not going to lie, I was really scared. I thought... I didn't want to fail, and I thought if I failed then... we would all be dead."

"It wouldn't be your fault Sunset. What matters is that you did your best to lead your team. And the fact remains that you restored Megatron to his normal self once again, and you kept our team together. It is leadership like that, that makes me believe you are a Prime."

Sunset smiled again and she hugged her mentor. Optimus embraced her back, hugging her back.

"So, what are you going to do now that Megatron's returned?"

"Megatron may be back, but our mission to protect your homeworld still remains intact. We will continue to stay here and keep this planet safe should Megatron come back... and we will be ready."

"And now, up on stage is Sunset Shimmer!" Pinkie screamed into the microphone.

Sunset got onto the stage, and she took center.

"Good evening guys. First thing I want to say, is a great big thank you to all of you who did your best to help the Autobots in their time of need. We couldn't have survived this giant battle without your help. And now, in honor of the Autobots, the girls and I decided to do a song for you guys."

Everyone gave a clap, and the girls got into their positions. The Rainbooms readied their instruments, and the Shadowbolts stood near as extra singers. Sunset began to sing first.

You got the touch
You got the power
Yeah!

The Rainbooms all began to play n their instruments, and the Shadowbolts began to perform dances and they provided extra chorus as Sunset sang.

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run
You're a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool

You're at your best when when the going gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power
When all hell's breaking loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm
You got the heart
You got the motion
You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

And in the crowd, the Autobots could be seen giving smiles to one antoher as they watched the performance. Sunset's voice was like the call of an angel, and they had never heard such beautiful sounds. All together, Sunset, the Shadowbolts, and the Rainbooms finished it off.

As Rainbow Dash struck the final cord on her guitar, everyone let out a giant round of applause and whistles. Standing together, the girls all took bows to the crowd and gave them waves.

The party went on, Photo Finish began to go around and take pictures of the party.

She got pictures of Fluttershy dancing with Bumblebee, a picture of Rainbow Dash, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker all performing a moonwalk, and even a silly picture of Twilight and Perceptor dressed in the styles of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

"And now... I take big picture, of the cast!"

Sunset Shimmer and the Rainbooms stood together with big smiles. Photo snapped the picture, and it came out perfectly.

"Shadowbolts!"

The five Shadowbolt girls got a photo together too."

"Rainbooms and Shadowbolts!"

All twelve of them managed to get a picture with big smiles.

"The engaged couple!"

Smallfoot and Sour stood close by each other's side, and they extended a hand out from each revealing rings on their fingers.

"The Rainbooms, Shadowbolts, and their guardians!"

Sunset, the Rainbooms, the Shadowbolts, and their Autobots; Optimus, Bumblebee, Jazz, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Knockout, Perceptor, Hound, Blaster, Outback, and Smallfoot all got a photo.

"Season 1 cast!"

Everyone was left with some confusion until Photo made it a bit more clear. So now taking a photo was Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, Prowl, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, Bumblebee, Jazz, Hound, Trailbreaker, Mirage, Bluestreak, Gears, Brawn, Windcharger, Cliffjumper, Huffer, Skyfire, and the Dinobots joined the group.

"Season 2 cast!"

The same group stayed in the photo, but now Hoist, Grapple, Inferno, Perceptor, Blaster, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Cosmos, Powerglide, Warpath, Tracks, Red Alert, Smokescreen, The Aerialbots, and the Protectobots all joined the picture.

"And now... everyone!"

Everyone tried to huddle close for one giant picture, but that task was a bit more difficult than imagined. Everyone was cramped and could barely squeeze in for the photo.

"Um... mind if we take it outside?" Sunset asked.

Photo groaned. "Fine. We go!" And she zipped away!

Everyone managed to get outside and now all of the Autobots, the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts, the Wondercolts, and the rogue Decepticons joined the crowd. Even Omega Supreme got in there as he stood in the back, towering over all of them.

"This is perfect! And now, everyone say... 'Transform!'"

"Transform!" Everyone smiled.

Photo snapped the photo, perfectly with everyone together.

Sunset smiled as she looked the giant photo. There was one giant family, and she was proud to be a part of it. And she decided, from there on, she'd prepare for the day Megatron returned. Carefully, she set the picture into her journal, and she locked it in her locker.

She closed the scrapbook with a smile on her face, and she patted it nicely. With a smile, she walked back into the crowd of party guests, and she smiled. And in her heart... she knew that Princess Twilight, and Princess Celestia would be proud.

"Autobots... welcome home."
