7 – What is the second sun?

Starscream’s stomach demanded food.
He sat at the table waiting for Alexis to finish cooking ‘pasta’ as she called it for lunch. My, what was the poor guy going to go though next?!
“Here we go!” Alexis said and gave Starscream a plate. It had spaghetti bolognaise on it.
“Er…” Starscream looked at the plate with a cautious expression. He did not like the look of this ‘food’. The pasta looked like worms with dirt on it to him, but he did not see it move.
“Just pretend it’s energon okay?” Alexis said, seeing Starscream’s cautious expression.
“Right…” He said slowly and picked up a meatball in his fingertips to examine it, looking at it weirdly.
Normally, Alexis would scream at a person for treating their food like that, but she did do no such thing. After all, poor Starscream had only been a human for an hour or so.
Starscream examined the meatball for a moment longer before popping it into his mouth.
Alexis watched him adhesively as he chewed and swallowed. Then a delighted expression surfaced on his face.
“Hey! I like this stuff!” He exclaimed happily and ate some more.
Alexis giggled at his enthusiasm. It was weird to see this new side of him, but then again, maybe turning human had made him a bit different after all. She didn't even care that he used his hands to eat, the fork lying forgotten by his plate.
‘Gee, I never thought food could taste so good!’ He thought as he ate up his meal. Maybe he could stay this way for a little bit after all. Man, eating was strange! It was sort of the same as taking energon, but he had never found any energon that looked like worms before. And this tasted different too. It was like the red energon, but it had a more savory flavour. And he liked it.

“I’m done…” Starscream collapsed back into his chair with a sleepy expression. It sure made him sleepy, eating.
“It’s not good for you to eat so fast.” Alexis said as she finished up her meal. “It makes you sleepy.”
“That would explain it…” He said, his eyes closed.
She smiled and took his plate. She had never seen Starscream contented before, but he certainly was now. He had taken his helmet off and revealed to the world a head of silvery hair. It was a bit shaggy, but Alexis liked it. And Starscream didn’t seem to care.
‘I really need to get back to my robot form!’ Starscream thought, ‘I am seriously spending way too much time here.’
As he thought this, he glanced out of the window to his left. The sun was gleaming in all its glory, and next to it…
He got up and rushed past a startled Alexis. He stared out of the window with his mouth open.
“Starscream?” Alexis questioned, walking over.
He whirled around and pointed straight at the object in the sky, “He never died!”
“Who?” Alexis said, frightened by what had Starscream so wound up.
He grasped her shoulders. “I didn’t kill him did I?!”
Memories flashed though Alexis’ head like lightning. That day…when Starscream was destroyed…by…
“Tell me he’s gone!” Starscream shouted shaking her slightly.
Alexis stared in horror into Starscream’s angry face, wanting to tell him what he wanted to hear, but she could not.
“Tell me what happened…” He growled, almost a purr…
Alexis gulped and started, “When you went, he transformed ant started to attack. Glavatron and Optimus formed an alliance like you wanted, but it wasn’t enough. In the end, they duked it out and Glavatron sacrificed himself to end all hatred in the universe, to stop Unicron from existing. But…” she broke off…
Starscream stared at her with a calculating expression and said, “There’s still hatred…”
“Starscream, please!” Alexis almost begged.
He brushed her aside and walked back the way he came.
“I want to turn back to normal.” He said. He had no emotion behind his words.
He turned slightly and said, “And destroy Unicron.”
