Chapter 2: Not so Normal
Starsong008: Hi fanfic peeps! Sorry about not updating, I was lazy and left a major history assignment to the last minute. I'll just explain the last chapter a bit. It was the end of the golden age and the beginning of the war. Perceptor was young and looking for a job and that was all there was. Ratchet was called in by his friend, Wheeljack, who was called in by Megatron for the experiment. That was before they had chosen to be Autobots, probably because of that experiment. Oh, and 1 Cybertronian year = 1000 Earth years.

Star's P.O.V.
A normal day at a normal school in the town of Bathurst. Everything was normal about this place. I don't normally like normal, but some things are just too out of line.
"Was Akari away on Friday?" my friend Kero asked.
"Yup." I said. "Why were you away?"
"Family business in Sydney. Do you think that an interrogation is necessary Star?"
"Of course it's necessary! She's been away for a whole week! It's time to get some answers out of that girl." I said as Akari approached us. I noticed that she was tired and had been crying.
"Screw the interrogation." I mumbled as Kero and I ran to Akari.
"What happened to you?" I asked the poor girl.
"Nothing." She said through tears.
"Sure there's nothing," Kero retorted "You can tell us anything."
"He said not to tell anyone." Akari mumbled softly.
"If someone's hurting you I'll give them a piece of my mind, and my fist." I remarked, punching my left palm with my right fist for good measure.
"Something tells me that you wouldn't." Akari said, cheering up a little at my statement.
The day went on as normal, except for Akari being quieter than normal. Something must have really frightened her to do that to the jumpy, bubbly girl that everyone was used to. By the end of the day, three o'clock, Kero and I had come up with a plan.
"We'll follow her back and see where she goes," I explained to Kero.
"But she'll see us!" My dramatic friend exclaimed, causing everyone to turn and look at us.
"We'll hang back a bit so we aren't spotted."
"Let's go!"
"Agreed."
As we followed Akari, we noticed that she was heading for the bush, not her house. 'Odd,' I thought, 'She would never go into the bush alone.' We followed her for quite some time and as the trees went past, they had increasingly more scratches and were further apart.
"BOO!" Akari yelled as she jumped out from behind a gum tree. "I knew that someone was following me. I guess I'll have to show you. Wait here." Then she ran off, leaving us behind.
"Busted..." Kero started to say, and then we heard a raspy voice.
"Hello, human." The voice said in a slightly sarcastic tone.
"No way. Can it be?" I thought out loud. I peeked around the tree to see a giant robot. My eyes lit up as I gazed upon him. The robot had F-15 wings on its back and air vents behind its shoulders. There were jet engines that formed its heels and a cockpit in the centre of its chest. Those blood red optics looked down upon Akari as if she was an ant, which I guess that's what people would look like to me if I was about seven metres tall. It was Starscream from the original cartoons. I had been obsessed with Transformers for as long as I could remember. Now my favourite Transformer of all time was standing so close that all I needed to do to get to him was run. Kero must have noticed me staring at Starscream because she latched onto me just as I was about to bolt.
"We're ment to stay here, remember?" She whispered furiously.
"Must get to Starscream, now!" I said back, getting angry that she wouldn't let me go.
"No! We must stay!" She said raising her voice. She was beginning to struggle to keep a hold on me.
"LET ME GO!" I screamed in her ear, causing her to loosen her grip on me just enough for me to get away.
"COME BACK HERE STAR!" Kero yelled at me as I began to run toward Starscream.
"Star?" Akari said with surprise.
"Akari!" I yelled in response.
"STAR!" Kero yelled at me
"Kero." Akari said in annoyance. I saw Kero coming up on my left so I quickly changed direction and headed toward Akari.
"Akari!" Both Kero and I yelled at the poor girl who now had two girls running full speed in her direction.
"WHAAA!" We all cried as I crashed into Akari and Kero into me.
"Enough!" Starscream yelled in a commanding tone, obviously tired of our game. "Akari, who are they and why are they here?"
"Umm... These are my friends Kero,"
"Hi!" Kero said with a wave.
"And Star." I was silent.
"Star, hello. Anybody home in there?" Kero said, waving a hand in front of my face. I continued to look at Starscream, hardly blinking. Then a wide grin plastered itself on my face. Suddenly, without warning:
"EEEEEEEEEK! It's Starscream, it really is! Oh my gosh oh my gosh OHMYGOSH! He's here, right before my eyes! Eeeek! This is so exciting!" I rambled on like this for a while with everyone looking at me like I was a rabid bunny on caffeine.
"Ok, now that that's out of me, what's next?" I asked.
"You're coming with me to the Decepticon base, all of you." Starscream said in a somewhat distracted voice. My outburst must have taken him by surprise.
"How?" Kero asked the towering Cybertronian.
"We fly," Akari said in a slightly worried tone. "But there are three of us and only one seat in his cockpit."
"You'll just have to squish up." Starscream sounded disgusted at the idea.
"Dibs on the seat!" I announced as Starscream transformed into his F-15 mode. I immediately jumped into his cockpit and looked at the others who moved away slightly.
"Come on, we haven't got all day." I said, speaking for Starscream and I both. Like wary dogs, they slowly made their way up to the F-15 and got in. Akari sat on my lap and Kero squished behind the seat. No sooner had they got in the hatch closed and we took off, heading for the Decepticon base.
A long chapter there! Kero is based on my friend Kerolamo and Akari on Akari-red-apple, both have written fanfic that I suggest that you read. I shall try to update soon. Reviews let me know that people are reading my stories and inspire me to write more! Till next time!
