Hello again! New chappy!
SO HERE IS IT! Horray?
Time went by so fast, the sun has already reached the horizon, red and orange light scattered throughout the atmosphere giving it a sense of vivid and harmony. It was such a common sight for Hayley, but every time she saw it, it catches her heart.
Hayley sighed
She looked at the window. Natasha and her are preparing dinner.
"So that you know, Hayley, cooking is not my thing..." Natasha complained
"I know..." she replied
"Why did you ask me to cook then?" Natasha questioned
"Well... first, I don't wanna cook alone, second, come on it is just cooking..." Hayley explained
"Alright... alright..." Natasha sighed out of agreement
Meanwhile
In the boys' room.
Soundwave was typing the crack code to open up the firewalls, it has been few hours since Hayley gave back the laptop, thus, it has been a few hours since he have started, his human body started to feel something, something in his Cybertronian form he could ignore. Exhaustion. He was thinking on getting a break. A break for a few minutes an hour could help him.
Weakling.
His thought, it struck him, he rarely need it. It is the sign of weakness. Why did he need it now? Maybe he is a human now. And human cannot withstand such work. No. He's not a weakling, his body is. Since it his body, he cannot escape it, he cannot run from it. He went outside the room, staring at the setting sun. It was rather relaxing and nostalgic, his past, he felt like he could remember it all. A great view can be such a reminder of who he was and who he is.
Click.
The sound of the door opening can be heard all over the house. It even woke Starscream up from his peaceful slumber on the couch. The sound then was followed by someone saying 'I'm home' everybody had already figured out who it was. For sure it was Katherine.
"How was the training?" Asked her dear little sister as she prepares a dinner for the 6 of them.
"We did not train yet, it was just a briefing with other pilots, and of course a flight simulator." Katherine explained
"We take the real flight Monday morning. 10 am to be precise." She continued
Flight.
Starscream twitched his ear. Flight as if flying. It made his heart pumped faster. He wanted to fly, he knew it has only been a day he had not been flying for a day (he knew, he had experience worse) but he miss flying. Soaring through the sky and saw view only one who could fly can see. He walked out the living room to the hall and asked
"Did someone said 'Flight'?"
"Hmm... yes... It was me..." Katherine answered.
"You are going flying?" He asked again, more curious.
"Yes, Monday morning 10 am prepare for taking off." Katherine repeated her words
"Can I join you?" He asked as if his life depends on it.
"Join me? Flying? Or just sitting around watching?" Katherine asked
"Flying." The former F-16 fighting falcon emphasized
"Unfortunately, Starscream, No, you can't." Katherine rejected
"W-why not!?" He asked, with an emotion of anger and disappointment in the same time
"You need the diploma, the license. To get that you need 3 years – a year minimum, of studying, training. You need to do the math of flying, flight simulator and others" Katherine explained
And with that there was silence. Not and awkward one but more of the tense one. Katherine, herself knew that Starscream himself wanted to fly, but it's just so complicated, she knew. No. She was sure that Starscream does not even have a license. How could he even fly? If he did not have any of the qualification? Katherine thought.
"But, Starscream, If you still want to watch the Sky Dancers fly tomorrow you are more than welcome." Katherine said, softly
"I'll join." Hayley said, excitingly
"Me too!" Natasha shouted
"Fine… you all can join. I invited you all and you all must join" Katherine said with a smirk
"Come on then let's eat! Dinner is served" Hayley said, jovially
Starscream was afraid that Katherine was going to said that, it was because of jealousy, the jealousy of flying soon took over his body, his weak human body. He can stand it much longer, he wanted to fly, the reality refused. He will never fly again. Ever. It is losing his t-cog all over again, but now it is permanent, he is a human now, no wings, though it was a sudden transformation, he felt like his wings was torn apart, slowly, painfully. This was and will always be his worst nightmare that came from unicron himself, special for him. And there was nothing he can do except waiting.
"What's wrong Starscream?" Katherine asked
"Hmm… Hello?" She continued
"Oh, My apologizes, I was in deepest thought of course." Starscream apologized
"You barely touched your food." Katherine said
With Katherine's words, Starscream quickly devoured all the food on his plate and ran upstairs.
Awkward silence. As always.
"W-what is wrong with him?" Katherine asked
"He is just upset to the fact that he will never be able to fly again…" Knock Out explained
"What is wrong with not flying again?" She asked again, innocently
"He is –was a seeker. Seeker are meant to fly, they are born with wings, as some of us can choose whether we wanted to be a grounder or aerial -me for example, I'm a grounder." The former Aston Martin explained.
"Oh." Katherine realized
"Wait, If I am not mistaken, that Starscream –when he told us everything we need to know, her said that, you guys can choose your own form from earth vehicle, right?" Natasha disturbed
"Correct." He answered
"If you were a grounder, what ground vehicle are you?" Natasha asked, joyfully
"I'm an automobile, Aston Martin One-77." Knock Out said with pride
As for Katherine she did not hear any of the conversation again, she finished the fastest and walked into Staracream's room and saw him sitting at the edge of the bed mourning. She sits beside him.
"Hey, I'm sorry about your wings… No wonder you are so eager to fly… again… But, It's just that I can't do anything to help you…" Katherine apologized
Silence.
"Hmm… There are still ways to get your license, all you need to do are tests. And the Sky Dancer academy are offering it for free –they need more pilots…"
Starscream's heart race, faster than the wind blows, he was grateful that there is a chance that he would be able to fly again.
"R-really?"
"Yes, But I warn you flying is not an easy stuff to do…" Warned Katherine, ironically to the ex-fighter jet.
