Melody wrote "Young 'bots in Love" one Valentine's Day for Jazz, after numerous questions about romance and physical affection had aroused his curiosity. She gave a public reading of the work to a bemused Jetfire and Goldfire. Love Spark Event

Notes

• The work uses the terms sparkmate and Conjunx Endura, the latter being a creation of Melody's, confusing Jetfire.
• Disturbingly, we never found out if Goldfire's fears that the work might contain inappropriately dressed human women or kiss-playing were right.
• Prowl and Drift are both millions of years old, raising the question of just what makes them young 'bots.
• Like the event its found in, "Young 'bots in Love" is a parody of romantic fanfiction involving characters, and one that can seem very mean spirited.
• On the other hand, Melody wrote fanfiction about two people she knew, without asking their permission, which is just a bad idea in general.
