Unicron muttered to himself as he floated in the vast regions of space, unwilling to stop his drifting, and not willing to give up eating planets. Even if it was getting boring lately. All of the planets were dead. Not a single one of them had any sort of sentience at all, and didn't fill him up. No, he simply became emptier, and emptier.

If he were human, an sigh would of escaped him by now. If only Primus was nearby somewhere, so that way they could fight, and Primus would either run or defeat him and send him hurtling off into space. It wasn't like his nemesis could actually kill him, any more then he could actually kill Primus. Swallow him, yes. Kill him, no. That was beyond his great ability-

Something tugged at his CPU, reminding him of the sort of signals Primus sent out. He turned, as much as a planet could, and grabbed a hold of the faint transmissions. They were… coming from the very corner of the galaxy, far, far away.

Curious, he began tracing the faint emissions, following them back.

The tall, green skinned woman smiled gently, her long, green hair a tangle of birds' nests and fox dens. "Well, my sister Gaia, what have you been up to lately? Still keeping us on the careful course around Star?"

"Yes, Nature." The ebony skinned woman smiled back. Her own hair was that of a pure gold, so pure no human could ever hope to lay hands on it. Her own, lean, graceful body was mirrored after the humans, but only for convenience. "Why do you ask? It is not like we can avoid each other."

"Yes, I still don't like you making that huge landslide over my beautiful garden." Nature scowled at Gaia, the only answer she got back was a razor sharp smile. "Anyways, I wanted to actually ask you if you'd be alright allowing a little lava and ash over at… what do humans call it again? Oh yes, the 'middle-west regions of the united states'."

"United States is capitalized. And no, I won't. Why do you ask?"

"Well, even if they are doing a good job with the fertilizers and crop rotation, many of my poor plants complain that they feel tired. Are you sure you won't?"

Gaia sniffed, her nose wrinkling at her sister. "Yes, I'm sure. I have a very special reason for doing everything, and creating a volcano in the middle of my very carefully flat plains would be just disastrous! I'm already working hard at those islands and moving those continents around, let alone create another volcano!"

Nature sighed, but Gaia ignored her as she stood. "I feel sorry for the humans that think we're the same, don't you?"

"Yeah, sure, rub it in my face that in a moment you can wipe out everything I nurture." Nature grumbled, but her own body stood.

The two sisters only very rarely used these bodies to communicate, only using them when they were the most bored with watching humans and dealing with the billions of little things. "Do you think I should whip up another natural disaster?" Gaia asked thoughtfully. "Humans have been getting rather cocky lately."

"Please no Gaia, I'm still recovering from that huge tsunami and hurricanes you've been pounding me with lately."

"True." Gaia reflected for a moment, and then turned to her sister. "Do you want to walk among humans?"

"I have to deal with them every day, I mean, I am part of them. I came to relax with you." Nature pointed out. "All you really have to do with them is letting them use you to walk all over and grow their food."

Gaia shivered, the earth shivering slightly with her. "Yes. I hate it when they mine though. It hurts."

Nature wrapped a comforting arm around her sister as the flowers perked up from their drooping in the hot sun. "Don't worry about it Sis-" She was about to go on in this comforting vein, when Gaia froze, body nearly dropping back to become part of what it had been created from out of shock.

Some piece of metal was penetrating her specially and carefully created protective layer she had created with Nature. Nature frowned as Gaia froze, and her own consciousness spread across the planet, seeking what had made her freeze up so badly.

She couldn't find anything in the nanosecond it took to search the entire planet and over. "Gaia?"

"The sky! It's penetrating our shield! Make it go away!"

Nature turned around fast, her consciousness now extending for the sky, as the tiny microbes that floated through the air finally began telling here that something was penetrating the gaseous protective layer that she and Gaia had placed up. "Gaia, c'mon."

The bodies disappeared from the small clearing in the middle of Europe, to reform almost the exact same over in a huge cornfield located in Montana. Both heads craned upwards to look at the wildly streaking piece of metal, headed down towards the ground. Nature scowled, compelling humans to suddenly find some reason to find the ground particularly interesting for some reason.

Both could hear a distant swearing in the background as a man found that a hold suddenly opened up underneath his bicycle, and a car a distance away found itself with the same exact problem. A few people suddenly saw wild animals that didn't normally show themselves to humans go bounding across their paths.

But that still left that metallic, strange object come crashing down to Earth. It reminded her of the time when Gaia had asked her help to freeze some sort of alien in the ice after he had so rudely landed on her.

The alien had been going after some giant cube, but the humans had both tucked away elsewhere. Nature wasn't concerned about that alien anymore. Only about the one coming down to rest on her sister right now. There was a screaming crunch as the hole appeared in the cornfield, and Gaias' mouth tightened imperceptibly.

The large piece of metal unfolded, creating a human shaped giant robot. Gaia strode forward, demanding, "Who are you?" The frozen cold tones mirrored her face exactly.

"I am Unicron." His voice mirrored the human language, and he crossed his arms, staring down at her. "Who are you?"

She bristled, the plants around her beginning to creep upwards. Gaia spoke softly, "My name, as humans say, is Gaia. Or Earth. I am this planet. This is my sister, Nature. She is the one who takes care of the growing things and animals."

Unicron snorted. "Organics."

Nature bristled, her eyes smoldering with outrage. "Do you have a problem with 'organics'?"

Gaia wrapped one hand around her sister's arm. Nature, while usually fickle, couldn't stand anyone laughing at her power. Nature didn't bother shaking it off, the very agitated presence of the animals speaking volumes for her.

"Organic life is sloppy, messy, inefficient, and silly." Every word could've been a nail pounded into a coffin. Natures face paled with each word, breath freezing in indignation. He viewed her for a moment, and shrugged. "I ought to kill you right now."

He leveled a gun at her. Gaia moved to open the earth beneath him, when Nature placed a hand on her shoulder. "Gaia, let me take care of this."

Gaia had no chance to protest as Nature gestured imperiously. A vine flickered out, wrapping its way around the body as the giant robot brought his gun up. Gaia sighed, as her sister didn't blink. The vine threaded its way into the cracks in the armor, and pushed out.

The surprise that washed across his face as he dropped was amusing. The earth quivered in California as Gaia muffled her chuckle. The robot found himself looking up into Natures face as a giant tree grew around him. "Next time you condemn organics, don't do it in my hearing range!" Nature hissed, before the body was shut down.

----------

Unicron twitched, surprised. He had animated a body left lying around from the last time he had caught up to Primus and Primus's precious creations had managed to fend him off long enough for Primus to escape.

And now he knew one thing. He was in love.

A/n: Do not look at me, it was a stupid bunny from the bunny farm! They were the ones who said were talking about Gaia becoming sentient! And yes, Primus might be coming in, but I'll only continue this if people find it interesting enough. Otherwise, oh well.
