Burning in the Shadowls
Chapter two: Decision
"Ok, so where are we goin'?"
"Surprise"
"What kinda su'prise?"
"A good one"
"Wh-"
"God, Jazz! How did your friends ever surprised you if didn't stop bugging them for answers?" Amber asked finally getting irritated.
"Till da point they tell me and then Ah pretend ta be su'prised" She could have sworn that there was smugness in his voice. Amber was about to retort about his absurd explanation when suddenly the buss they were riding in made a rather sharp turn. A standing passenger went through Jazz, causing him to shudder.
"How further?" He asked flowing more closely to the sitting Amber.
"Not much, just two more stops" She shrugged and adjusted her phone to her ear. Well, at least no one will think she's crazy.
"Ah gotta say Ah'm impressed. A whole week and no detention." The blonde smirked. She was free for the rest of the afternoon on a Friday with no school tomorrow, when an idea popped in her head.
"Yeah,well you herd what Robert said. Boarding school's not really my taste"
"Sparklin', knowing you, the school wouldn't have survived a month" Jazz chuckled.
"Jazz you insult me" She faked being offended "A week, top's" She herd the wonderful sound of Jazz's laughter and stood up when the buss stopped.
"This is our stop." She told him and left her phone in her bag-pack.
They stood in front of a large building with a rather odd shape. There were a lot of stairs and it was filled with tourists. There appeared to be college students giving up pamphlets, a couple of souvenir shops, and over the entrance with large letters was engraved "Nibble's Planetarium"
"What's a 'planetarium'" Amber giggled slightly at the way he said it for the first time.
She didn't answer him and started walking toward the entrance. There she paid the clerk for her ticket and entered. The moment she stepped inside it took her breath away.
"It's beautiful ain' it?" Suddenly Jazz ask fluttering next to her right ear.
"Space..." Whispered. "I actually brought you here to show me Cybertron, if possible." She murmured when no one was looking.
"Ya really are interested in the stories Ah tell ya" It was not a question. Amber snorted and rolled her eyes, entering further into the building. The halls were filled with pictures of all kinds of planets, solar systems, galaxies, moons and just about everything. Amber carefully studies each and everyone, reading the text below the pictures.
"Hey, Ah've actually been here." At this her head snapped and looked over at the glowing light that was hovering next to a picture of an orange/reddish planet with three suns.
"Ah don't have ma memory banks so ah can't tell exactly in witch quarter it's located. There used ta live some sort of organics, herd it was very beautiful back then." The blue orb was almost touching the large picture.
"But didn't you say you visited it?" Amber whispered again, making sure no one saw her.
"Ah did, but that was after their species died. There used ta be a fourth sun, but it extinguished, causing da extinction of the entire race."
"That's sad" She murmured. "What is that?" She asked referring to a crater on the left side of the planet.
"Weeell, that kinda is ma fault."
"What?" She attracted a couple of curies glances her way. Blushing madly she whispered harshly.
"What the hell do you mean it's your fault – that thing's about the size of Canada."
"Sorry, but when 'cons are hot on ye'r aft's ya don' exactly make da most gracious of landings. Prowl was really pissed tough." Jazz trailed off.
"Because of the 'cons or your landing?" She resisted a giggle. If Jazz could, he would have grinned.
"Both" Amber full out laughed attracting the attention of quite a few people but was having too much of a good time to pay them attention.
Not long after she was seated in a gallery. Jazz was in front of her chest. If he was able to be solid he would have been sitting on her lap. The lights dimmed and above their heads was projected a hologram of stars.
"It must have been amazing... from galaxy to galaxy..." She whispered but Jazz's answer was not the one she expected.
"Ah never asked for any of it. Before the war, durin' da Godel Age, Ah had a life. Prowler and I, we... lets just say the war didn't give us a choice" He muttered and in the dark room Amber could see that the blue orb actually dimmed. She gently ran a hand trough it in a soothing manner.
She was about to repeat the motion when Jazz suddenly flew away from her. At first she got worried that maybe she hurt him but that fear didn't last long.
"That!" He yelled gaining her attention. "Do ya see it? It's small but it's definitely Cybertron!" He was circling around a small star on the ceiling were it was being projected. Jazz stopped fluttering around it and just watched.
Her heart broke. Even if Jazz didn't have a face where she could see his expression, the now dim orb was radiating desperation.
"Home..."Jazz whispered not sure if Amber heard him. He lingered around it for a while and returned to her when the projection was changed.
"Jazz, I'm sorry. I never meant to upset you." Amber quietly said at the buss stop. A small key-chain she had bought as a souvenir was held tightly in her right hand.
"Don'. Ah'm actually grateful. Without my memory banks I couldn't remember Cybertron at all since Ah haven' seen in in quite some time. Thank ya for helping me remember." The blue orb slightly nuzzled her neck.
Amber smiled. This was actually the first time Jazz thanked her for anything. Right now, at this moment, she couldn't believe she ignored and even tried to get rid of blue orb. Just the thought of making him even remotely happy made her smile. Actually...
"Jazz, what do I have to do in order to help you?"
