I'm sorry I'm sorry (ducks flying objects) The caffeine made me do it!

Disclaimer. I don't own any of 'em and it's probably a good thing cause Screamer would probably kill me in my sleep for doing this to him.


There are some things you can never prepare yourself for. No matter how many times you tell yourself you have seen everything the universe has to offer, the universe will always find a way to throw you a curve. As Skywarp was about to learn.

It was quiet on the shuttle bound for Earth. Starsream had made it back to Cybertron and managed to persuade a few of the remaining Decipticons to return to with him to avenge Megatron.

Skywarp was one of the few still operating at this hour. He went in search of Starscream to report they were exactly three lunar cycles from their destination. He was still a few meters from the common room when a strange sound reached him. Puzzled he stepped in to the room. The table farthest from him was covered with empty energon cubes. So many in fact they had spilled over on to the floor. The cubes, however, weren't the only thing on the floor. Lying on his back under the table was Starscream himself, and he was…Was he singing?

'All my bags are packed I'm ready to go.'

'I'm standing here outside your door.'

He had always heard that the Air Commander couldn't hold his high grade but seeing it for himself was just disturbing. Then an idea presented itself. You never knew when Starscream was going to decide you needed to be taken down a peg or two so maybe this was a Primus sent opportunity. Setting his sensors to record he carefully angled himself so he could see without being seen.

'Cause I'm leavin on a jet plane' Starscream warbled as Skywarp tried not to laugh.

'I don't know when I'll be back again.'

Skywarp silently thanked Primus he had decided to report to Starscream now rather than wait till his shift ended. If he had waited he would have never been there to capture this priceless moment in time. When he felt he had recorded enough the buried the file in his CPU. It would come in handy the next time Starscream decided to degrade him in front of the others, or maybe he could use it to insure a higher place in the rank and scheme of things. After all blackmail was a highly profitable enterprise not to mention standard practice for any ambitious Decepticon.

A/N Don't ask, I don't know. I'm trying to write a research paper and all I can hear is Starscream in the back of my head singing Leavin on a jet plane. Maybe I can get some work done.
