I was sitting on a cliff face, staring over the sea. It was bad for a mechs
health due to the salt to be out here, but the wind was not coming from the
ocean, but the opposite way. While I watched, my seeker was sitting beside me,
also enjoying the view.
“I remember you used to love your sunsets … on all those planets.”
I said. He smiled, his optics closed.
“You know, this sun is a G2 V star. Said to be of average size by the
humans …”
As I prattled on, I was not aware that Starscream had stood up, and started
to make a funny sound. I think humans would name it purring, but how he did
it, I did not know.
“…Its about 1,292,000 kilometres across too. Man, it is strange
to have such a small star when ours was twice the size of it-“
Suddenly, Starscream nuzzled his head under my chin with a loud purr, and I
stopped talking. Suddenly, I became aware that this was just like what he did
when we were back at the library on so many occasions. But it didn’t explain
his purr.
“How? …” I murmured, as he rested his head under my chin,
but he didn’t seem to want to explain.
“Do shut up, Skyfire.” He said. “I was enjoying the sunset.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle at him. He glared at me, but it was a playful
glare.
“Explain how you can make that noise.” I said with a grin.
“Well …” He began, leaning against me for fun, it seemed.
I had my arm around his back, unused to his new Earthen design. “Its like
my jet motors are on standby, and I make the sound in time with my breathing.
Makes it sound like a purr. TC and Skywarp can do it as well, I found out. Heh,
Scavenger thought it was cute when he heard me purr while asleep. I would have
slaughtered him if I had of been awake enough.”
“I think it’s cute.” I said, and laughed as Starscream tackled
me with a yell of anger.
“I am not cute!” He snarled, but I knew he would not hurt me.
I grabbed his torso area, and hit a certain spot that I knew about. He was very
ticklish there, I knew, and soon he was laughing with tears streaming out of
his optics. I sat up and placed him on my lap like a child, and would not let
go.
“Skyfire - get - off - me!” He hissed, struggling, but then giving
up soon enough. I let him go and he instantly turned around. He didn’t
say anything except look sulkily at me, and I grinned at him. He grinned back,
slowly, before hitting my spot. I burst out laughing as Starscream tickled me
with a malicious grin on his face.
“Okay, okay! I give up!” I cried out. He stopped, and then curled
up against me, like he had before. Of course, he was much bigger now, but still
able to as I was much larger than most transformers. I was made that way so
I could carry out my role as an Air Guardian.
“Seeker,” I murmured, as he looked up at me. “One day, when
this war is all over, would you like to come back with me?”
Starscream smiled, and suddenly I remembered that handsome mech I knew before
we departed on our journeys.
“Sure.”
<VIDEO UPLOAD COMPLETE>
<UPLOAD ANOTHER?>
No. That is enough. They will know now …
“Computer, archive all video files”
<FILES ARCHIVED>
I pray that these video will not fall into the wrong hands.
I left the media room, leaving my six files behind …
>><<
Starscream looked over at his PC as the e-mail sign beeped.
There was no message, just an attachment.
It was titled: ‘Memories of Old: You and I”
The seeker smiled, and played them.
“I remember that promise …”
The End!
*Purring was just something I saw as cute. I dont beleive Starscream actually can. And no, it doesn't sound like a cats :P
** This was based on a dream, so of course it will be different from the show.
