She scrambled around in the blankets of her bed and sat bolt upright. She looked from left to right and saw the object of the scream.
Starscream the human stared back at her with a look of complete horror on his face.
“HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?!” He screamed and ran around like a drunken man. He examined his hands, his back and looked between his legs to see the window upside down.
That’s when he stood up and faced Alexis with a look of exasperation on his face and said, “And what the hell is between my legs?!”
Alexis couldn’t help it. She burst out in laughter that she had held in the whole time the man had been jumping up and down.
“WHAT THE SLAGGING HELL IS SO FUNNY?!” He roared, now angry.
“Oh god,” She said between laughs, “if only you knew!”
He snarled and swung his body away from her. He was wearing a red and grey muscle top with red and grey gloves. He also wore white and red pants with red and grey boots. He had a helmet on his head that covered his silver hair. His eyes were a copper-y red and his face resembled his robot form, but now with human features.
“WILL YOU SHUT UP?!” He fumed, now in a rage.
“I’m sorry,” She said, still giggling, “But…” She burst out in laughter again.
He had had enough. With ninja like speed he had not lost in his ‘transformation’, he slammed Alexis down on the bed again, his hands gripping her shoulders in a pincer grip.
“You better shut that mouth of yours right now…” He said in a deadly whisper, “Or it may be your last laugh.”
Alexis said nothing. She stared up into Starscream’s angry face and found herself frozen. She didn’t know why, but she didn’t feel any fear. It was like she knew Starscream would not hurt her even if he said he would. And she just noticed the position the two were in…
Why wasn’t she frightened? Starscream stared at her, the anger slowly falling from his face. He didn’t even know why she had just affected him like this…
Alexis suddenly got an idea. Starscream started as a devilish grin appeared on her face.
She suddenly shifted her shoulder upwards from Starscream’s slackened grip, causing his head to flump onto the pillow right beside her.
“Alexis!” He yelled, angry again, turning his head so he could see Alexis’ triumphant face grinning back at him.
“Teach you for hurting my shoulders with your bloody grip.” She complained as he sat up. She did to.
“What the hell caused this?” Starscream almost whined.
“Hmm…” Alexis thought about it and then got out that old space rock, ‘I wonder…’
“Hey, do you have any of this rock with you Starscream?” Alexis asked, holding up the rock.
“Yeah I do.” He said slowly, “Why?”
Then he suddenly remembered. Her voice…the way Alexis had treasured it when she had been with her that time…
He got out his stone. It was a little bigger than hers, but he had not put it in any kind of case, so it was rougher.
“Could this have done it?” Starscream wondered out loud.
Alexis looked at him in surprise, “It…could have I guess, but how?”
“I don’t know,” Starscream said, annoyed. “I don’t have all the answers. I just want to return to normal!”
Alexis cringed. She didn’t.
But how was it that she could help her friend?
Oh what she didn’t know ...
