The clock in Megatron's room went off again, and Megatron jumped, "I don't want it that way!" he shouted, then looked around, "Oh," he grabbed the clock and yawned, "I didn't set the alar... ARRRGGGGGHHH!" he yelled, jumping back. A female ghost bot hovered by the window, her arms crossed.

"I set the alarm," she said, "I am the ghost of Christmas present, and I'm here to show you how your Grinch moods have affected the rest of the Decepticons and even your brother," she said, holding out her hand. Megatron groaned, and got out of bed, still holding the octopus. He took her hand, and they began travelling back to the beginning of December.

December 1st

"Starscream! Starscream!" Blackout yelled, "We can open our advent calendars!" Starscream threw the papers that he was holding away and ran to his room, cheering.

The two Decepticons plunked down on the floor, and opened the first day of the calendar. Megatron snorted, "Look at them being excited about energon treats," he said, "Pathetic."

"You love energon treats," the female ghost said, and Megatron glared at her, "Keep watching."

Barricade came in, his arms full of envelopes, "We got the first round of Christmas cards!" he exclaimed, and dropped the pile on the small table in the middle of the room, "Oh...someone... sent one to Megatron."

"Who's it from?" Starscream asked.

"Jolt," Barricade sighed, "That poor Autobot doesn't know that Megatron hates Christmas," Barricade opened the card, and began to read it.

"'To Megatron,

Merry Christmas! :3 Don't worry! You won't be forgotten this year!

Lots of love,

Jolt'"

Megatron looked down at them, silent. The ghost turned to him, "Jolt did know that you hated Christmas, but he sent you a card anyways, because he believes that it's not possible for anyone to hate Christmas," she said, turning back to them. Barricade walked over to the garbage can, and tossed the card in.

"Why is he throwing it out?" Megatron asked.

"You would have done it anyways," she said, waving a hand and brought them to a brightly lit room. The Autobots and Decepticons were all together, chatting and laughing, "This is the one month of the year when they don't fight," she said, looking at him, "And you would be forcing them to, even when they didn't want to," Megatron looked around, seeing how happy everyone was. He saw Optimus and Starscream share a joke, the twins and Soundwave talking about gift ideas for the gift exchange, and he saw Blackout hitting on Arcee.

"I...I don't know what to say," Megatron whispered, and he looked around and they were back in his room. He walked over to his bed, and sat down. The femme bot ghost floated over to the window.

"The last ghost will be here in an hour," she said, and disappeared. Megatron sat in his room, and he'd never felt more lonely.


I am SO sorry I haven't been updating. I wanted to have this done before Christmas (didn't happen) but I will have it done in the next couple of days.
