'Thoughts'

Flashback! *Swings Drift's sword*


It had been an hour since Shane arrived, taking Bee as the robot to keep his eyes on while Tessa took Crosshairs. Drift was luckily left alone since he didn't usually get into stuff and was well-behaved. Right now they were in the attic, cleaning it out for an item that Hound and Cade needed.


As soon as Shane arrived in his little Chevy Sonic, Cade stormed out of the barn, Hound bouncing up and down on his shoulder.

"The hell are you doing here?!"

"Relax Dad of the Year," Shane started calmly, watching as Tessa was waving for him to come inside urgently. "Tessa wants me to watch one of the Autobots since they seem to be giving her hell."

Groaning at this information, Cade looked from Shane to Tessa and back to Shane. He opened his mouth to say something but Hound beat him to the punch.

"Good, we want you and Tessa to look for this item," he whipped out a polaroid photo of what looked like a ball with spikes on it, "this is going to help the electricity distribute itself so we won't be this size." Shane took the photograph and mentally groaned. Probably hidden in the attic that wasn't really destroyed when the government came for Cade and Tessa.

With a nod, Shane ran up to Tessa's bedroom, hearing muffled curses and shouts before entering to see Crosshairs being disentangled from a pair of Tessa's underwear. He was shouting in Cybertronian at Bee as a huge applause and cat calls blared through his vocalizer.

"Knock it off there Bee, you don't want Crosshairs to steal Drift's sword again." Shane lightly reprimanded, remembering that day oh so fondly.

Which Bee really remembered and immediately ran over to Shane, hiding behind his leg.

"Aww...you're so cute Bee!" Tessa gushed, after getting Crosshairs free from his "womanly" prison. Crosshairs grumbled and tried to shrug off the comment but it looked like he wished he had recieved one as well. Drift jumped off the beam and walked over to Crosshairs, nodding a bit at the comment.

'Are they seriously jealous Bee gets more attention than them?' Shane wondered as he gave Tessa the photo and explained it was in the house somewhere. Tessa groaned dramatically and finally answered, "Fine. Fine, let's go find this stupid thing!"

"Cool! I'll take Bee!"

"Looks like Ah'm paired with you Tessa." Crosshairs stated, turning his head upwards only to stare at her lacy pink underwear. His faceplates immediately turned bright red and he was giving a mix of astonishment and humiliation.

'Crud! Tha' was what tha' thin' was! An interface panel!'

Bee pointed at Crosshairs and laughed. Tessa looked down at Crosshairs noticing where he was looking.

"You better turn your gaze somewhere else or I'll sick Shane on you!"

"Yeah buddy," Shane smirked, "that's my job!"

"What's your job? Giving Crosshairs an ailment or looking at Tessa while her father isn't doing so?" Drift asked, with all honesty.

"Are you serious?" Shane asked again. 'It sounded like Super Dad molests Tessa for a living. Kind of explains why she butts heads with him.'

Drift was going to restate his question when Crosshairs butted in.

"Can we go? Ah don' like wastin' time."


After that, everybody moved into the attic to look for the spiky ball which probably had no meaning to them but to Cade and Hound. Tessa couldn't clean or find anything unless there was a movie in the background. She had popped in Pirates of the Caribbean, the movie projected against a far wall where there were still Tessa's old toys and toys that were meant to be passed on to the next generation. One of them happened to be a pirate ship.

It was indeed old, never painted, and with working sails, ropes, pulleys, helm, and had a crow's nest. The Autobots were currently watching the movie, noting some things that reminded them of Crosshairs.

"You look like this Jack Sparrow, Crosshairs."

"It's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow!"

"Wot' are you all talkin' about? No way Ah could be 'im!"

"Well you do have something that represents his coat, you like to get drunk when there's spare energon around, you love to fight, and you can come up with witty things." Drift stated coolly, climbing up to the crow's nest. He didn't obstruct the view but his point was proven when Jack Sparrow came across the screen in his coat, said something witty to Will Turner, before taking something called "rum" back to him and Gibbs.

Crosshairs shook his head, knowing they were right about how he was comparable to Jack Sparrow. He flopped onto the deck of the ship, looking through the railing instead of watching the movie. That's when he spotted the spiky ball Cade wanted.

'Bah! Ah won't tell them Ah found the doo-'ickey.'

Bee must've spotted it too because in the next moment, he was throwing his vocalizer loudly enough so Tessa and Shane could hear him over their rummaging ruckus.

"I found it! I found it!" Now Crosshairs would normally let Bee tell the two humans he had found the spiky ball but right now he wasn't in the mood to give credit to someone else. He got up and pounced onto Bee, stealing a tricorn hat off a doll, and grabbed a sewing needle as a sword.

Pointing the thing at Bee, Crosshairs growled, "Walk the plank!"

"Somebody please save me!" A high pitched, somewhat female voice, came through the vocalizer as Bee was backed up to the plank. Drift was watching in some disdain at his two teammates. They were acting like sparklings! Though this was getting a little bit more action then the movie itself. He watched the show below, careful not to alert the humans of what was going on.

The music in the background was enough help as the action unfolded before him. Bee jumped behind Crosshairs only to duck as the sewing needle swung for his neck. The rookie rolled out of the way but Crosshairs wasn't finished yet. He grabbed him by the doorwings and threw him onto the helm. He punched Bee in the back of the head, only to have Bee trap Crosshairs in his doorwings like a Venus fly trap.

"Ah'm not goin' down that easy!" With all the strength he could muster, Crosshairs threw Bee backwards...only to have Bee land in Shane's hands!

"What are you two doing?"

"Nothin'!"

"He punched me!" Came the little whiny voice from Bee. Crosshairs rolled his optics. Tessa came over and spotted the spiky ball. Using her shirt off her jacket, she picked it up before looking at Crosshairs.

"Who do you think you are, stopping Bee from telling us where this thing was?" Immediately, Crosshairs knew Drift must've told them the story when questioned about the fight. Slowly readjusting the hat on his helm, and tucking the sewing needle in his coat, Crosshairs stated, "Ah'm Captain Jack Sparrow."


Sorry my creative juice kind of slowed. My friend had a nasty break up, trying to comfort her and everything. Ciao! The Cherryblossom Tree
