Chapter 1

Megatron sat on his throne, a hand to his forehead. He sucked in a deep breath. He looked down to the floor of his throne room. The small sparkling he'd named Starscream sat on the floor playing with small pieces of metal.He was enjoy it being all alone. Megatron simply sat watching him. Megatron had no idea how to look after something like the sparkling. Starscream stopped messing around with his toys.

Megatron sat up. Starscream stood up. He turned around. Megatron noted him carring all the metal pieces and toys. Starscream ran up the throne steps. Starscream stood in front of Megatron. Megatron looked down at him. Starscream set the toys and metal pieces in fron of Megatron. Then he sat down and stared up. Megatron tilted his head in confusion. Starscream pointed to the items.

"Pay…" Starscream ordered.

"What?" Megatron huffed.

"Pay!" Starscream repeated, moving the items closer.

"hmmm…Play?" mumbled Megatron. Starscream nodded.

Megatron slipped off his throne and stood up. Starscream smiled. Megatron groaned and walked past Starscream. Starscream watched as Megatron left the room. He looked back at his toys. He pushed them aside and raced after Megatron.

Meanwhile Megatron was in his command room. Computers lined the walls. Megatron tapped on the keys. The computer's black screen lit up. After a breif moment of silence, the screen glittered with a fuzzy image. Starscream peeked in.

"Megatron," a voice gasped, "What are you calling for a such a short notice?"

"A sparkling!" shouted Megatron, "A child I don't know what to do about."

"A sparkling? Why Megatron how did a sparkling find its way into your base?" the voice questioned.

"A question I'll look into later, Shockwave, as of now I need to know how to take care of such a child," Megatron groaned.

"take care of it? Megatron you have no time not with Optimus and Autobots!" Shockwave gasped.

"I'll deal with Optimus and those foolish Autobots later! Shockwave I needed a young enough child to learn from me and if he is strong enough too, he'll lead after I am gone," Megatron declaired.

"I understand," shockwave sighed, "I will send you the intructions. I must say though, Megatron, a sparkling doesn't understand much so you'll have to deal on how fast it learns. Don't push him."

"I will push as hard as I must!" screamed Megatron, smashing his fist against the keyboard.

Starscream whimpered behind the wall. Megatron looked like he was going to hurt Starscream. Starscream believed that. Starscream didn't want to be hurt. Starscream scurred out of his eavsdropping spot and ran into another room. He hid in a corner. The room was well lit with pink and purple cubes. Starscream whimpered, curling into a small ball, in the corner. He heard heavy footsteps storming down the hall.

Starscream tucked in his legs as the footsteps stopped. He heard Megatron punch the wall. Starscream closed his eyes, hoping Megatron couldn't see him or know that he was in here. He heard Megatron faintly screaming his name.

"Starscream!" ordered Megatron, "Get over here now!"

Starscream was afraid to get out of his hiding spot. He was afraid to leave his comfort. He was afraid that Megatron would hurt him.
Then he rethought everything. He thought if he could make Megatron happy he'd get a treat or something. It was a sparkling thought. Starscream stood up and ran for the door. He opened it slowly. He peered out. Megatron wasn't around.

Starscream left the room hasitly. He walked quietly down one of the halls. He knew Megatron was around her soemwhere. Suddenly soemone lifted him up. He felt a cold hand tightly grasp his should and lift him up. He whimpered as his attention was drawn toward the person who had lifted him. He smiled as he noticed it was Megatron. Megatron was not as equally pleased.

"Where were you?" snapped Megatron.

"Me..." whimpered Starscream.

"when I call for you, you will show yourself!" scream Megatron shaking the child slightly.

"oclay," Starscream smiled.

"Don't smile at me!" ordered Megatron in a deeper tone.

"oclay," Starscream whispered.

"hmm," Megatron growled, looking away from Starscream, wishing he'd never found the child, "First you…"

Megatron looked back to Starscream. Starscream was wiggling, trying to escape Megatron's grip. Megatron snickered, dropping Starscream. Starscream fell to the ground with a quiet clank. Starscream looked up at Megatron, not a hundrew percent sure what happened. Megatron looked down at the child like an inferior ant.

"You need to learn my rules! I am in charge! You will listen to each and every order I give you! Do you understand!?" ordered Megatron. Starscream nodded.

"You will obey and live up every expectation I have for you understand!?" Megatron hissed. Starscream regretfully nodded.

A/N

What would you do if you were Starscream, this small sparkling, when Megatron, this mech that is three times the size of you, is angry? I would run!
