Okay, so after, like, a month, I was finally going to update "Twenty", but it just isn't cooperating. As a matter of fact, none of my stories are cooperating! But I feel like writing. I didn't want to start any new projects, so I decided to try my hand at that music meme that's been running around. Yeah, I know, so unoriginal of me.
If you want to read more of these, I'd recommend Darkangellilith's – it's called "Jukebox", I think, and it's quite awesome!

"Message in a Bottle" The Police (2007 movieverse; Bumblebee)
Bumblebee gasped, or at least tried to. The pain, the unbearable pain… why did this always happen to him? At least… at least Optimus would be proud of him. He hadn't given in to Megatron's tortures; would never give in to that Decepticreep!
"Bumblebee!" The voice surprised him, and he pointed his gun towards where it'd come from, optics flaring wildly, but it was only Arcee. She'd been in his unit. "Bumblebee… oh, Primus, what did he do to you?! Come on, we've got to get out of this ship… Bumblebee, are you…?"
She cocked her head slightly, watching him gesture at his throat, making odd "czz" noises as a gaping hole in his neck leaked mechfluid.
"Bumblebee…" she gasped in realisation. "Megatron… ripped out your vocaliser?" When the yellow scout nodded, "That slagging little… stay here. I'm going to get help, okay? No, don't give me that look – STAY HERE!"
He watched her sneak off, moving almost spider-like with her agile fragile fame. Then, checking to see that the coast was clear, he
"Ya Soshla S Uma" Tatu (G1; one-sided MoonracerXFirestar)
Moonracer could be a ditz at times, but she certainly wasn't stupid. She knew the rest of her squad saw her as the "dumb little sister", the one who constantly needed supervision and protection.
So unfair.
Even Firestar, who Moonracer had looked up to for so long. Even Firestar, with her shining red paint and her blazing confidence. It was humiliating, the night Moonracer had gotten over-energised and accidentally revealed to Firestar just what she had felt.
"I'm sorry, Moonracer, but… I just don't feel the same…"
Now Firestar wouldn't even look at her, leading to curious and worried looks from Chromia and even Elita. Well, Moonracer wouldn't have it anymore. She didn't need
"I Can See Me A Star" Ashley and the Starlites (2007 movieverse; Miles)
He always knew he'd be someone someday. Even if his mother laughed at him, even if Sam thought he was just some poor sap, even if his father left.
But, no, Miles was confident he'd
"Master and Servant" Depeche Mode (G1; SkyfireXStarscream)
"Stay away from me!" Starscream threatened the pink femme. "Don't you dare follow me!" He hated new schools. He hated when others worried for him. He hated stupid girls. Hated, hated, hated. Hated the apologies she was calling after him – he didn't want to be her friend. He didn't want to even be at this stupid school!
"What's the matter?" a calm, deep voice stopped the young seeker in his tracks. "Why are you crying?"
"Who's crying!?" Starscream glared up at the mech – he recognised the white shuttle as an instructor, though not one of his own.
"You're so cute, Starscream," the shuttle jet smiled softly, sincerely, halting the young flier in his tracks.
"H-how do you know my name?"
"Come into m
"Killer Queen" Queen (G1; ArceeXStarscream)
Arcee didn't like when the other mechs treated her as something delicate and dainty, to be protected. But then, she didn't mind using her femininity to her advantage, either. Especially where the Decepticons were involved. By dehumanising them in her CPU, she had no problem using sex appeal to get the information the Autobots needed, then crushing their sparks under her heel.
She'd never felt bad about doing this before. Hot Rod and Springer and even Ultra Magnus were proud of her, after all, for helping the Autobot cause.
So why did she feel so guilty now? Why couldn't she erase the image from her head of the one seeker who hadn't given in so easily, who had shunned her advances at first, who seemed to trust nobody?
'Starscream… What happened to you in the past to make you this way?'
"Ent'racte" Little Shop of Horrors (Transformers:Animated; one-sided ProwlXBumblebee)
Bumblebee didn't want to admit it to himself how he'd felt when those things had attached themselves to Prowl. Why had he been so afraid? And even before that, why had he told Prowl, in a sense, how "committed" (Prowl's words, not his) he was to the motorcycle? Why had his systems heated so when Prowl had jumped on him all those weeks ago? And even now, as they argued, Prowl's face so close to him, lush lips pulled into a taut scowl. Wh
"Bizarbara's Wedding" Starmites (G1; Hot RodXArcee)
It was an exciting day for the femmes. Elita's young protégé, Arcee, was promised to Elita's brother Ultra Magnus, and the femmes couldn't contain their excitement. Even Chromia, though she'd never admit it.
Arcee, however, couldn't even fake a smile as Moonracer helped polish her. Ultra Magnus, from what she'd seen of him, was… well, old. He didn't seem to really love her, just to need a wife. And she certainly didn't want to be someone's little wife. She wanted adventure, like the mech she'd met on her trip to meet her fiancée. She hadn't quite caught his name, but she knew his face and flamed chassis by memory, having envisioned him night after night. Oh, if only he could rescue her – scratch that, she could rescue herself, and they'd go on adventures across the galaxy together!
The fantasy brought a slight smile to her face, and Moonracer twittered on about how happy she was for Arcee and Magnus. Oh, if only the sea-green femme knew…
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" Across the Universe (G1; ProwlXJazz)
Prowl didn't understand his lover sometimes. He loved Jazz, no doubt, but the saboteur was so confusing sometimes. It was illogical, his improvisational style, his love for Earth music, especially the Beatles.
"What do you mean the best song ever written?" Prowl asked through gritted dental plates. Jazz would be the end of him, someday, he just knew it. They'd been through this before – Jazz seemed convinced all modern Earth music stemmed from the Beatles' first hit. Prowl was convinced that he didn't really care.
"What's great 'bout it ain't the lyrics or the chords or – it's repetitive, actually. But the sheer concept, Prowler – love is universal! It ain't about interfacin' or makin' sparklings, or, well, y'know," Jazz was saying.
"I don't know," Prowl argued. "Jazz… 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'?"
"And so y'are, Prowler. And so y'are," Mischievously, Jazz held up h
"Dear Prudence" Across the Universe (G1; The twins and Arcee, possibly out of "And Then There Were Three")
"Arcee," Sideswipe tried again to coax his newfound "sister" out of her quarters. "Arcee, talk to us… what'd we do? Sunny and I can't fix anything if we don't know what we did wrong!"
"What you did wrong, you mean," Sunstreaker scoffed, earning a glare from his twin. He was worried too. Arcee had never locked them out like this before, and he could hear stifled sobs coming from the other side of the door.
"Sunny," Sideswipe looked anxious.
The golded twin sighed. He was better at hiding his feelings, but he, too, hated to see the pink femme upset. "Arcee, if you need me to tear someone apart limb from limb, just tell me, and I'll do it. No one should get away with making you feel this way!"
Silence. Then, muffled, Arcee said quietly, "It isn't that…"
"Then what…?"
"I miss Hot Rod and Springer," she said, even quieter, this time. She hated admitting weakness, and the twins knew
"Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me" Rocky Horror Show (G1; SunstreakerXArcee)
Arcee knew what she was doing was wrong. After all, she was supposed to be the responsible one. Daniel and Blurr looked up to her because of it. Springer and Hot Rod admired it. Even Ultra Magnus and Kup had come to expect it from her. Oh, they'd be so ashamed if they could see her now.
But that didn't matter at the moment. How could it matter when Sunstreaker touched her like that? How had she gotten the attention of the golden mech? No, this was no mech… this was a god! Oh, Primus, whatever he was doing with golden hands made her forget all about what they would all think and w
-fin-
Wow, lots of Arcee for some reason. (I really like her.)
I'm almost tempted to expand on some of these. I may do more like this.
What'd you think?
