Starblazer shifted in her sleep, dark words swimming around in her processor. 'Kill them all kid, do it. Your dad would be proud, wouldn't he? Just ignore everything around you—or have them all at your service.' She woke up startled, sweat beading her faceplates. 'I'm supposed to be good this time, I shouldn't change sides or I screw up this life! Plus I heard of this Megatron guy—He'd seriously beat the hell out of me.' She sighed softly and rested her head back onto the berth completely oblivious to the fact that both her creators weren't in the room. 'Just go back to sleep, it's probably 2 AM or something..."

"Who's watching Prime's sparkling?" "I haven't seen Elita; I just saw the sparkling sleeping on her berth like nothing had happened. She wasn't crying or anything so someone must've at least fed her right when she woke up." "If that's the case, she might've gone to get more low-grade or something." 'There's someone here? …There's light too.' Blue little optics flashed online only to get the attention of a mech and a femme; one is black and white, seeming to have the form of a police car. The other was teal and tinged with neon green, though Starblazer wasn't able to see if she had a specific vehicle mode. '…Hi.' Starblazer tried to squeak out of her vocalizer. It disappointed her that she still couldn't say a single word that was actually understandable. "I'm taking her to Prime. The sparkling isn't going to stay unattended." The mech said before picking Starblazer up and walking out with the femme following. "Don't you think he'd be busy? I mean, I don't want to keep him from work. Maybe I could care for her while Elita is out." "Yes but if she's nearby her Opiluk then she wouldn't be in stress later. But you could stay in Prime's office and care for her Tealstripe." 'Tealstripe, huh? What's this guy's name then?' Starblazer thought. "Wait I didn't mean my idea like that! I'll be even more of a distraction to Optimus if I'm there. The sparkling's enough, but not me too!" Tealstripe panicked taking Starblazer from him (she was slapping his faceplates continuously) "You suggested in having that responsibility, didn't you?" "Well yes but-"Tealstripe got cut off by him "Then it's what you have to do." "Yes Prowl." She sighed tapping Starblazer's helm gently. 'So she's Tealstripe, he's Prowl. I'll keep that in mind.' She thought trying to grab at the femme's back wheels. :: Optimus Elita isn't with Starblazer. I've got the sparkling here so u can watch her while her Danni's on her way back…and I brought a femme to help with the sparkling:: :: I thought I said I wasn't going to be in this!: Tealstripe in both Optimus and Prowl's comm. links, her tone didn't seem as much angry though her expression barely gave away any anger. :: Let both of them in the rooms unlocked:: Optimus back. The doors slid open letting in Prowl and a disappointed Tealstripe, though the sparkling she was holding was the complete opposite. Starblazer was chirping and squeaking in happiness, she even nearly fell out of Tealstripe's grip twice. 'Dude this woman's a complete biotch and this guy would make me sick in a freaking day!' Starblazer thought hoping that when she's able to talk she could just tell him what she thought about the two Cybertronians. Tealstripe dumped Starblazer into Optimus' arms just slightly seeming pretty regretful about her asked job at the moment. "Just take her I'll be in the corner." She muttered sitting quietly in a corner that was a bit crowded with datapads. "She didn't want to help though she came up with the idea." Prowl said before walking out as if he didn't want anything to do with that anymore. "I'm staying in this corner for the remainder of the time." Tealstripe said pouting. She barely noticed Optimus put Starblazer down and had her crawl to her, but a squeak gave way to it. "Hi squirt." (Chirp) "…I wonder when you'll finally say your first word" 'You have no idea woman.' Starblazer thought stubbornly. "So you don't know where Elita's been?" Optimus asked while he was checking on some reports and battle strategies. "Um no, when I went to check on her and the sparkling only Starblazer was there. She was just sleeping and I guess when I was talking to Prowl I accidently woke her up." Tealstripe replied in a slightly calm voice. 'I just saw Elita say she was going to get more of that sweet blue stuff. She's been gone for some while.' That thought pretty much had many interpretations for Starblazer. She could've got lost; maybe someone attacked her—or she's dead. No, that can't even be it. If she was willing to protect her own sparkling then obviously she'd be able to protect herself with no trouble. Easy as that, but if it wasn't that then why the hell is it taking so long for her to come back with that stupid blue stuff? "Maybe I could go to the energon chambers. We all want to make sure she's okay right?" Tealstripe suggested 'Oh god this chick's trying to get out of this again.' "Maybe we should. You don't seem bothered with going to check are you-" "I WOULD DEFINETLY WANT TO GO I CAN RUN AND CHECK RIGHT NOW IF YOU WANT OPTIMUS." Tealstripe stressed it out clearly. "I'll keep Starblazer here then." Optimus said, though before he finished Tealstripe was out the door. "FREEDOM! Oh wait I got to go see Elita."
