Well everyone I will tell you this I've been working on this chappie for a while now. LOL! I've been having a hard time for some reason. I know what I want to go on but It's hard finding the words. But I think I have a pretty good idea for the next chapter and hopefully it'll write itself. But you guys can scroll down and continued to read what is happening in the story. :)

Chapter 4

Déjà vu

Starscream along with the two boys rode their bike, scooter, and skate board to the mall which wasn't too far away. Starscream as he rode the scooter looked at the houses they passed. It was a nice little town, when he was a Decepticon he had never even dreamed of going to a human town because they were disgusting insects that were just in the way of the Decepticons so they could rule the universe.

Now he was human and everything was a different perspective to him. His heart pounded in joy as he waited to go see Alexis. She saw good in him before anyone else did and believed in him when no one else did. She mourned his death and her cries were the ones that brought him out of his sleep. They kept riding along until they saw a large parking garage and a mall right next to it.

Rad looked back at Starscream, "Are you ready to do this Sam?"

"Yes, I can't wait to see Alexis." Starscream spoke still practicing with his voice. Rad and Carlos chuckled.

"You'll be seeing her in no time Screamer." Carlos spoke.

"What did you just call me?" Starscream growled.

"Screamer…I was thinking it could be a nickname for you for now on…well at least around us." Carlos replied.

Starscream didn't say anything, in fact no one spoke of anything until they came to the mall and parked their transportation devices and put chains around them and to a pole with a lock so no one would come up and steal them.

"Okay so Alexis is in the mall in the Abercrombie store. Carlos and I will walk in at the same time, then Starscream," Rad turned to him, "you will come in last acting all dark and mysterious, I mean you were always dark and mysterious to her when you were a Decepticon. But act like your normal self except for the voice, the voice is the same as you have been practicing it."

Starscream nodded in understanding. He wished he were still a Decepticon so he would be able to figure out where everything was located at. Once they walked in there was a large map of the map where everything was. "Okay, so Starscream you stay behind us, not straight but where you can see us still. You follow us and once we go into Abercrombie you follow."

"Got it." Starscream muttered and watched as they started to walk off. Starscream watched as the other humans walked around him, it was a crowded place to meet up but it seemed to be where everyone went to hang out. As Rad and Carlos continued to walk forward Starscream slowly followed until they turned into the store Abercrombie.

Immediately he heard Alexis greet the two men and took a deep breath. Butterflies were flying in the pit of his stomach. He finally walked in to see Alexis, he meant to continue walking in and to ignore her to pretend to be the dark and mysterious man they wanted him to be but the moment he entered the store he froze in the spot. Alexis was smiling at Rad and Carlos and then lifted her eyes to him. She saw him staring at her and he quickly looked down and started walking.

"Who is that guy?" whispered Alexis to Rad and Carlos.

Rad and Carlos looked at Starscream and smiled, "We don't know, we saw him while coming in."

"He seems familiar from somewhere." Alexis whispered and started to walk towards Starscream. Starscream saw her coming towards him. He felt his palms start sweating; his heart was racing in his chest. "Hi, how are you?" she spoke to him.

Starscream took a second to let it register in his head that she was talking to him. "I-I'm doing okay." He stuttered. Alexis smiled at him and started to eye him trying to figure him out.

"You seem so familiar to me…what is your name?" she asked.

"Sam…Sam Star." Starscream replied.

"Well Sam, I'm Alexis, would you like to come with us? We were going to get a bite to eat." She invited him.

"Well…I can."

"Did you have something else planned?" she asked.

"No…"

"Good then you can come with us." She replied smiling and grabbed a hold of his arm and started to pull him over to Rad and Carlos. "Hey guys! So this is Sam Star and I thought we'd invite him to come along with us to lunch. Sam this is Carlos and Rad." Alexis introduced them.

Rad and Carlos shook 'Sam's' hand and told him how it was a pleasure to meet him. Starscream looked down at Alexis who seemed to be happier now than the first night that woke him up from his deep sleep. "So where would you like to eat Sam?"

Starscream looked at Alexis and then to Rad and Carlos who were trying to give him some ideas to make him look more human than alien…Starscream had never eaten human food before so this would be very interesting. "How about we all go to El Toro the authentic Mexican food in the land," Rad pointed out.

"Rad I was asking Sam!" exclaimed Alexis.

"El Toro sounds like a great place to eat actually, never been there." Starscream spoke.

Alexis turned to him once again and beamed. "Okay. We'll walk there if that's okay."

Starscream looked down at her and replied, "I don't mind." Alexis smiled and giggled. Rad and Carlos looked at Starscream who looked at them and they mouthed to him, 'she definitely likes you!'

Starscream smiled and said, "Well might as well go ahead and start walking. We won't get anywhere standing here."

"Right, come on guys let's go!" Alexis exclaimed and went running. Starscream easily kept up with her at a light jog as well as Rad and Carlos they came to the exit where they saw their transportation still there.

"You know instead of walking we have our rides." Carlos pointed out.

"I parked at the opposite side of the mall." Alexis spoke sadly.

Rad and Carlos didn't say anything but looked at Starscream who spoke up. "I have my scooter here and I could take you around so you can go pick it up."

"Really? That would be amazing Sam!" Alexis exclaimed, "You're much nicer than Rad and Carlos."

"Hey!" both Rad and Carlos exclaimed.

Alexis looked to them and said, "I didn't see you speaking up to see if I needed a ride."

They didn't say anything as they watched as Starscream or Sam got his scooter loose and got on. Alexis got on behind him and held on to him so she wouldn't fall off. They started to ride off as Rad and Carlos watched them. As they rode Alexis looked up at him looking at his hair, his build, everything. "I feel like we've met before but I don't know where."

Starscream looked at her from behind and wanted to say, 'You were the one who had faith in me when no one else did. When I betrayed everyone you kept trying to tell me that I was good.' But instead of telling her all that, instead of spilling out his guts he simply replied, "I have never really been here before…so…"

"Yeah I guess you're right. If you haven't been here before we wouldn't know each other. But I still feel something between us." Alexis spoke.

Starscream looked at her as they came to the front of the mall where her scooter was waiting for her exactly where she left it. She took the lock off and got on her scooter and went rolling across the road. Starscream was right behind her following her since she knew where the restraunt was and he didn't. They flew by Rad and Carlos who quickly go on their wheels and caught up with them easily.

"So since Sam has not been here before we need to let him know which foods are good." Rad spoke.

"Oh the chicken quesadilla is to die for." exclaimed Alexis.

Rad slowed up and was riding next to Starscream and whispered something to him. "After lunch we're going to leave you two."

"What?" Starscream asked not knowing what to do if he was alone with her. He had the whole disguise down pat but what if he made a mistake?

"You'll be fine. Just like old times." Rad smiled.

"What are you two talking about?" Alexis asked seeing that the two boys were talking.

"Nothing, just guy talk." Rad replied smiling.

"If it were guy talk you wouldn't be whispering." Alexis pointed out.

"Girls have girl talks and guys have guy talks and if I remember correctly girls whisper if guys are around we can do the same thing." Rad retorted sticking out his tongue.

Alexis growled beneath her breath and looked at Starscream and then Rad, "I will find out what you two were saying."

"And how will you do that?" Rad asked smugly.

"Simple Sam will tell me."

Starscream's eyes grew big and started coughing. Alexis giggled seeing the reaction and Carlos's eyes grew big and yelled, "You can't Sam I mean that is just betrayal of the secret!"

Starscream for a moment looked back at him and Carlos smiled and winked. Starscream smiled evilly he knew what they wanted him to do. They wanted him to make up a lie on what they talked about, betray their trust kinda like he did with Megatron slowly giving hints here and there seeing if she discovers its him and if she does he would need to keep denying it until the perfect time to come out and tell her, 'Yes it's me I've come back.'

They came riding up to El Toro and parked their rides chained them up and eagerly walked in. Starscream felt his stomach growl and was starving. They were seated and a basket full of chips Starscream looked at the chips weird and slowly picked it up and started nibbling at it. Tasting the salty and corn taste he quickly consumed it.

"Hey Star, you can dip the chip in the salsa or the queso dip." Carlos pointed out.

Starscream looked at the white cheese and dipped it a tiny bit of cheese and took a bite. Everyone watched as his eyes lit up as the cheese hit his tongue and he tasted it. He quickly grabbed another chip and dipped it in the cheese but this time much more was on the chip and stuffed it into his mouth. "This is really good." He spoke with his mouth full.

"It's great being human because you get to eat all this great stuff!" exclaimed Starscream. Rad and Carlos's eyes grew big and quickly covered his mouth so he wouldn't spill anymore information to Alexis. She couldn't know…not yet.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"He's just saying he's lucky to be human because all the other animals in the world do not know what they're missing." Rad quickly replied before Starscream could say anything. Alexis looked at them both with an arched eye brow and decided to let it go…for now. The waiter came back and took all their orders.

"So going to try the quesadilla are we?" Alexis asked smiling.

"Yes, you said it is to die for….so I have to try it now." Starscream replied smiling a sheepish smile.

Alexis smiled at this and when their food arrived Starscream was the first one to dig in. First time eating human food and it was so delicious he was now envious of the humans they got all the good stuff while the transformers got the same old same old Energon. But human food was always different. Different flavors and everything, he loved it.

"So Sam, where are you from?" Alexis asked.

Starscream looked at Rad and Carlos and then back to Alexis and replied, "A place far away from here where."

"And where is that?" Alexis pried more.

"Canada." Starscream replied plainly.

Alexis looked at him and made a face, "Canada? Aren't you supposed to say 'eh' after every word?"

Starscream looked at her and laughed, "That's stereotypical. Not all of us say 'eh', it's some of us."

Rad and Carlos felt like they were going to have a heart attack. Yes it was Starscream's idea to keep it a secret but…he was so close to blowing it away so many times. "You know what? We're going to go pay for our meals and go ahead and head out. We'll see you guys later."

Starscream and Alexis watched as they left the table and getting out their wallets. The two sat next to each other watching the two boys walk off. "Well I never they are always rude as can be. I'm sorry about that Sam."

Starscream looked at her and waved it off gently and replied, "Don't worry about it I'm sure they have a good excuse." Deep inside however he knew it was all part of the plan.

Well I hope you guys liked this chapter! School has started and we'll see how I go with updating.
