The sky was a brilliant blue with big, puffy white clouds floating. It was the perfect day for the recruits at the Autobots base to go out and enjoy themselves, and that's what they did, since most of them had the day off. She, however, decided to stay behind. Since he'd left on that mission a few weeks ago she didn't want to do anything. All she did was either work or keep to herself in her quarters, locked up and plagued by worry. Who could blame her, though? She didn't know what was going on up there. She didn't know if he was alright and until she knew that he was, she wouldn't stop worrying. She lay back on their berth and ran her fingers over the empty space next to her..The space that would usually have been warmed by his presence there but was just cold and bare. Two weeks. It'd been two weeks since they'd left for this trip and that means two weeks since she'd seen him. She'd been missing him terribly, praying to Primus and hoping that he'd be okay and come back to her in one piece. She always hated it when he left. She'd not recharged properly since he'd gone. She never does get a full recharge cycle without him there by her side.
Don't worry, Star she thought to herself..He'll be alright, he's too much of a fighter to go off and get himself slagged like that..and besides Sides is with him and he sure as hell won't let anything happen to Sunny.
She allowed a small smile to tug at her faceplates as she pictured him in her head. Considered to be one of the most good looking mechs around, she was more than happy, if not a bit surprised when Sunstreaker had taken a liking to her. She didn't consider herself to be anything special but for some reason he always made her feel special. Everyone thought that he was just this bad tempered, foul mouthed mech, but honestly Star couldn't see it. He was never like that with her. He allowed her to see the side of him that no one else had. The calm, sweet, caring,loving, romantic side. That's probably why she fell in love with him in the first place. The fact that he was easy on the optics that didn't matters either. She remembered when she first came to work on board the base and the rest of the girls in communications including herself would spend time almost every day discussion the infamous twins. She stopped part-taking in such activities however once Sunny and her starting dating. She didn't feel right discussing such aspects of her relationship even though her coworkers were relentless in bombarding her with questions: Is he a good kisser? Is he good in bed?, etc.
The silve and pink femme was pulled out of her reverie as she received a message through her comm link.
"Socket to Starlight" the familiar voice of her friend coming through the link said.
"This is Star, what's up Socket?"
"We've just picked up a signal breaking through Earth's atomosphere and we're pretty sure its Prime and the rest of them coming back from space."
"Are you serious?" Star asked sitting up.
"Mmmhmm" Socket murmured.."I thought I would tell you since you've been waiting for a certain handsome mech to come back" she said teasingly.
"Oh shut it" Star growls "I'll be down in the command center shortly". Socket giggles at her friends response before cutting the link. Getting up from the recharge berth she picks up a few data pads and walks out shutting the door behind her and entering the lock code. She smiled a genuine smile for the first time in days as she made her way to the command center where a few of the crew members gathered and Star made her way to the front and stood at the screen of the main computer in the command center watching slowly as the ship that carried a select amount of Autobot warriors descended back into Earth's atmosphere after having completed yet another scouting mission. As she stood there she overheard one of the mechs talking and he said that this one turned out to be another unsuccessful attempt by the Decepticons to lure the best fighters away from the base in hopes of defeating them. The plan, she heard, backfired however, when the Decepticons failed to accurately predict just how many mechs Prime would send out on that "mission". She sighed softly and focused her attention back to the screen where the spaceship was getting closer and closer to its landing destination. She once again found herself being snapped out of her thoughts by Socket's voice. I need to remember to tell her to stop doing that, Star thought to herself. "The shuttle is a few minutes away from landing," Socket says pointing to the screen, "And we're all going down to the landing strip. You're coming, right?" Starlight's face lit up, "Of course I'm coming. I just need to run back to my quarters for a minute." Socket nodded.."I'll see you out there then." Turning away from the computer Starlight gathered her data pad and walked back to her quarters to drop it off before making her way down to the landing strip.
