A transparent jet soared though the somewhat familiar streets of the dark blue planet. He scanned the area and searched for a signal of the stone. He felt it! A faint signal was coming from the hill over near that science lab.

The jet flew down and transformed, floating in mid air as he surveyed the mansion.
‘She sure is living it up big time,’ Starscream thought and flew though the wall.
Making his way down the passages, he marveled at how large this mansion must seem to her. He transformed silently and floated though a door. Inside, he saw a girl sleeping in that huge bed…

‘What the hell am I doing here?!’ He thought. ‘I’m a Decepticon! I shouldn’t be concerning myself with petty humans!’

But no matter how much he thought of it during the ten years, he ended with the same thing. He liked this one. She was the only one who had trusted his decisions, and for that he was grateful. So, wasn’t it a fair-trade for him to provide some peace of mind for the human girl? He thought that it was too nice of him, and he may seem weak from it. But it was because of her and her friends, plus the Autobots, that he had made the Cybertronians finally at peace? It was their influence on him that made him see right. That was probably the reason he had been given the chance to be a ghost in the first place…

Alexis stirred. Should he wake her? He floated around to the other side of the bed and bent down to gaze more closely at the human. She had grown up a lot and looked much different than Starscream’s memory of her. She was taller, and her hair was longer. He hesitated, wondering if he should wake her or not.
He floated down and sat on the edge of the bed. He reached out a transparent hand and tried to gently prod her.
He was shocked! He could touch her!
‘But how?’ He thought and watched Alexis stir again and slowly wake up.
He watched in anticipation, waiting for her to scream or do something else. He was so scared but he couldn’t move. He knew he shouldn’t have woken her!
Alexis blinked and then looked up. She sat bolt upright and stared at the ghost with wide eyes.
She shook her head slightly, a huge grin slowly sliding onto her face.
“S…Starscream?!”
Starscream opened his mouth to say something, but the words died on the way to his mouth. He simply stared at Alexis and slowly nodded.
She opened her mouth in a joyous grin and sprang up, screaming his name and smashed into his arm in a hug of greeting.
Starscream was shocked beyond anything. He watched as his only human friend cried in happiness against him. He didn’t know what to do. Slowly, he regained his composure and picked up the overly happy human and held her up to his optic level.
Alexis had never felt so happy to have someone back. She remembered how sad her parent’s death had been for her. It was like that with Starscream but now he had come back. It was liked being born again, with no sadness to be felt…
She looked over him. He was transparent!
“You’re…Y-you’re-“
“A ghost.” Starscream said, “I know.”
“But how?” Alexis asked, sitting down in his see though hand.
“I really don’t know…” He said, staring out of the window.
Alexis stared out of the window too; wondering about how she might be able to help Starscream out … He was her friend. The one transformer who charmed her with his struggle to be good. Was it this that had made him able to come back as a ghost? How could she help him?
Then it clicked.
“Starscream! I know how to get you a body!” Alexis said suddenly, turning back to the ghost.
“Huh?! How?!” Starscream asked.
“Come with me tomorrow, and I’ll show you…”
