Author's Note: This is what happened when I listened to the song "Cowboy Casanova" by Carrie Underwood one too many times. I own nothing but Katia who is Starscream's daughter, Barricade's charge, and a Pretender allied with the Autobots at this time. Her story doesn't exist yet. Enjoy!
Cowboy Casanova
Katia glanced at Mikaela with a smirk from across the darkened gymnasium. Semi formal had been great and the two girls had planned something funky for the end of the night. Since Sam and Mikaela had wanted to come to semi formal the Autobots were there lurking around the edges in holoform, making sure Sam and Mikaela were safe. Katia smirked as she climbed the stage and slipped the microphone out of its cradle, nodding slightly to Miles who was playing DJ tonight. The music started, the beat pouring through the speakers and vibrating in her chest.
"You'd better take it from me; that boy is like a disease. You're runnin', you're tryin', you're tryin' to hide and wonderin' why you can't get free. He's like a curse; he's like a drug. You get addicted to his love. You wanna get out but he's holdin' you down 'cause you can't live without one more touch."
Katia's icy eyes found the Autobots on the edge and she smirked widely, grinning at Jazz. Barricade, her guardian, was standing behind Jazz smirking widely. He knew exactly who she was referring to but it would take the others a bit.
"He's a good time cowboy casanova leaning up against the record machine. He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery. He's a devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night. Give's you feelings that you don't wanna fight; you'd better run for your life."
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were smirking now and Mikaela was flat out laughing as the pretender tossed her auburn hair and moved into the next verse.
"I see that look on your face. You ain't hearin' what I say. So I'll say it again 'cause I know where you've been and I know how it ends. You can't get away. Don't even look in his eyes; he'll tell you nothing but lies and you wanna believe but you won't be deceived if you listen to me and take my advice."
Slowly it was dawning on the others to whom she was referring and they were all finding it extremely funny. The students just thought she had volunteered to sing like a few other choir kids but the Autobots knew better. Optimus was trying not to laugh and Ironhide was now visibly smirking as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker cracked up. Katia's smile grew even wider.
"He's a good time cowboy casanova leaning up against the record machine. He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery. He's a devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night. Give's you feelings that you don't wanna fight; you'd better run for your life."
It had finally dawned on Jazz about who she was referring and his face actually flushed. Bumblebee, who was standing next to the saboteur, cracked up and gave her a thumbs up, his blue eyes sparkling with mirth.
"Run, run away. Don't let him mess with your mind. He'll tell you anything you want to hear. He'll break your heart; it's just a matter of time. But just remember. He's a good time cowboy casanova leaning up against the record machine. He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery. He's a devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night. Give's you feelings that you don't wanna fight; you'd better run for your life."
Katia smirked triumphantly as she finished the song.
"Oh you'd better run for your life. Yeah you'd better run for your life."
With that she lept off the stage and vanished into the crowd, still smirking widely. Maybe now Jazz would remember not to challenge her unless he wanted payback in full.
