Here it is! The story I promised after finishing Drifting Country Flower.

A/N: This story is in the Primeverse, Rumble and Frenzy look like their G1 counterparts, and I only own Starsong. Transformers and its characters belong to Hasbro.

The Spark's Song Never Fades

Starsong was in her home office filing paperwork and data files and watching her twin sparklings running around. "Rumble, Frenzy, slow down a bit," she called to them with a smile, but knew they wouldn't listen to her too much as she finished up her work and then saw they were a bit low on some food. "Looks like I'll have to go to the market when your father gets home," she said to them.

"Can we go with you, Mama?" asked Rumble.

"Please?" asked Frenzy.

She gently shook her head. "When your father gets home, you two will need to be in bed because you have a big day at the youth center tomorrow. A big field trip, I believe?" she asked with a smile.

Both sparklings squealed in excitement as they remembered what their mother had meant. The youth center was going on a fun field trip tomorrow and they couldn't wait.

The door then chimed as it was opened by the mech of the house. "I'm home," said the mech.

The little mechs rushed into their father's arms, having missed him because he had a long shift that day. "Daddy, will you come read us a bedtime story?" asked Frenzy.

Their father chuckled. "If you two can beat me heading up for your room," he said.

Both Frenzy and Rumble quickly ran to their room, making both their parents chuckle as Starsong then went up to her mech, who wrapped her in his arms and kissed her deeply. "Starsong," he whispered. "How was your day?"

"Lonely without you, Soundwave," she said to him with a smile. "But I have to go to the market for some things."

He nodded. "Be careful, my love," he said.

"I will," she promised as they kissed again and she headed out and Soundwave headed upstairs to read the story his little sons had picked out for him to read to them.

It was later that night when Soundwave, who had just finished up some paperwork he had brought home with him, felt something in his spark and realized it was Starsong. "My love?" he sent through the bond.

He then felt fear and then nothing. "Starsong?" he asked, worry filling him.

When she didn't respond, he immediately jumped up and was about to go find her when the television gave him his answer about an attack at the market earlier. No survivors had been found.

"No," said Soundwave, pain running through him. "Starsong. My love."

But she didn't respond and he felt empty, realizing she was dead. The pain was too great for him and he passed out, tears in his eyes.


I have to admit, while I don't care for Decepticons, I think Soundwave is mysterious and after reading Castiel-Fan's stories that featured a different side of Soundwave (which are really awesome stories you should check out because Castiel-Fan is an awesome writer), I began to wonder why Soundwave would be so quiet and this story came to life.

Read on and please leave a review, but no flames!
