Chapter Nine:

Darkness

Emily's car came to a smooth stop in the driveway, Miranda unbuckling her seat-belt before Emily did the same. Miranda had a thoughtful look about her when she looked to her phone's digital clock on the opening screen.

"I'm hungry..." she said thoughtfully.

She soon smiled with a slight blush when a sudden idea hit her once again, snatching Emily's phone out of her hand. She searched through Emily's contact list to get Optimus' number/comlink frequency, copying the number/comlink frequency onto her own cellphone contacts list.

Emily raised an eyebrow at her best friend, snatching her phone back when Mi was on the phone with Optimus.

"Hey Prime~." Mi greeted before pausing for a moment "No no... Everything's cool. I just need a favor. I need Megatron's comlink frequency..." she paused for a moment before smiling with a nod "Got it. Thanks~!" she said before hanging up, recording Megatron's comlink frequency into her contacts list onto her cellphone.

Emily continued to look at her a bit puzzled "You're hungry... And you decide to contact Megatron because of it..?"

Mi merely smiled, and called Megatron.

Back at the Quonset, Megatron was in his usual spot, a look of deep thought about him. He raised an optical ridge in curiosity when his comlink gave off a beep every other second, showing someone was trying to hail his frequency and contact him.

:: Lord Megatron here... :: he answered without hesitation.

Miranda smiled from her seat in the car :: Hey Megs~. Just wanted to know if you're as bored as I am... And... if you wanted to uhm... go out with me tonight..." she blushed, twirling a piece of her hair around her finger "For dinner. Your treat..."

Emily rolled her eyes and got out of her car, motioning for Mi to follow her inside.

Megatron smirked :: Hello Miranda. :: he greeted in return :: That sounds like a good idea... :: he said thoughtfully :: Barricade will bring you to me in half an hour. Be ready. ::

Miranda walked into the house after Emily with a devious smirk, her eyes narrowed :: Oh~ A chauffeur eh~? You really know how to treat me like royalty~ ::

:: Unless you want me to pick you up in my alt-mode, and scare the local humans... I suggest Barricade be the one to pick you up. :: Megatron smirked with a slight chuckle :: I will see you in a half hour. Goodbye. ::

Mi laughed :: Now that would be a sight~. I'll see you soon Megs. :: she said before hanging up the phone, squealing and hopping around excitedly before running downstairs to the attic to get ready.

Emily's feet were up on the coffee table, sitting on the couch downstairs in the attic area, starting up her Midnight Club 3 video game.

"You be sure to have fun, Mi..." she commented as her game began, leaning back against the couch more.

Miranda slipped on her Megatron T-shirt that read "Megatron for President: Why vote for the lesser evil?", and also slipping on her dark colored jean shorts, her chrome colored earrings, black socks, and her purple and black tenni shoes.

She brushed her hair out nicely and straightened it up before walking out to Emily, standing near the TV so her friend could see her better.

"Do I look good?" she asked, a bit nervous.

Emily smiled at her comfortingly "You look great, Mi."

Mi paced for a little while before sitting down next to Emily, waiting for Barricade to arrive.

Once the doorbell rang after a good 15 minutes of peace, Mi quickly stood up, walking with Emily to the door.

Emily opened the door, seeing Barricade's holoform standing on the porch.

"Hello Barricade..." Emily stated, still not very fond of his presence since the prank he pulled on her...

Mi gave Emily a hug as she passed her to leave, and Emily returned it. The two friends then waved to each other before going their separate ways.

Mi looked out of the passenger side window of Barricade's alt-mode as they drove into the city, humming a Transformers tune quietly.

They eventually arrived at Moxie's Bar and Grill, one of the most classy and expensive restaurants in Saskatoon.

Megatron's holoform stood just outside the restaurant, waiting for Miranda to arrive.

When Mi saw Megatron, she sank in her seat slightly. The attire he wore was rather handsome... It seemed a bit more dressed up than what she was wearing...

"Dammit..." she hid her face slightly "I knew I should've dressed better..." she mumbled with a gentle blush.

Barricade looked to the female with a smirk "You look fine, Miranda. Megatron won't care." he reassured.

Miranda sighed shakily, gaining her bearings before she sat up fully in her seat, carefully opening the door and getting out of Barricade's alt.

She walked toward Megatron, Barricade driving off to explore the city while the two had their date. Her heart seemed to pound in her chest, blushing madly as she approached him... She hadn't been on a date in a very long time...

Once she was close enough, Megatron grasped her hand in his, bringing the back of her hand to his lips, gently kissing it with a smirk.

"You look beautiful, my dear..." he had noticed her shirt and smirked even more so "And I like your shirt..."

Miranda blushed even darker, if that were even possible, before Megatron straightened and guided her into the restaurant.

Once inside, the waiting waiter, guided them to a private booth toward the back. Megatron sat across from Mi as the waiter placed the menu's down in front of them. The waiter then received their drink orders, and walked away to get them.

Miranda hid her face in the menu, blushing darkly "Fuck you Barricade! I KNEW I should have dressed more fancy! FUCK ME!" she mentally panicked.

Megatron smirked at Mi, not even bothering to look at the menu "Do not worry about how you are dressed. This restaurant may be expensive, but it is not the most refined."

She blushed even more so, peeking over the menu at him with slightly narrowed eyes "What... Did Starscream place a mind reading device inside my skull while I was asleep too?"

"For me, you are but an open book. It is easy to read you."

Mi hid her face behind the menu, avoiding his gaze once again. He merely chuckled at her response in amusement.

She suddenly had an epiphany about what to ask him. She placed her menu flat on the table, and smiled at him evilly.

"Okay then. If I'm such an open book... What do I want to eat~?" she grinned.

Megatron rolled his eyes "I can read your emotions, not your mind."

Mi only snickered, grinning at him mischievously all the while.

Megatron then caught on and chuckled slightly "Oh how funny you think you are..."

"Nah~ You just look adorable." she blurted, getting fairly flustered after she had fully realized what she had blurted out. She hid her face in the menu once again "Maybe I should ask the waiter to leave this thing so I can hide more..."

Megatron grinned and chuckled in amusement "Why thank you, you look gorgeous..." he complimented.

The waiter soon approached the two and took their orders before leaving them to wait once again.

Mi looked up at Megatron thoughtfully for a long moment, her blush slowly dying down before she added "And by the way... You lie. I do not look 'gorgeous'. I may look pretty... But I don't look 'gorgeous'." she stated illogically.

Megatron merely smirked "To me, you are gorgeous."

Mi's blush came back "Why? When?" she asked seriously, not exactly trusting that fully, she still had some trust issues with men it seemed... or, mechs, in this case...

He quirked an eyebrow slightly in confusion "You are my human, Miranda. And you have been gorgeous to me since the day you had the guts to stand up to me and tell me your thoughts concerning our current situation and the various effects that would happen should the war be reignited."

"Okay... Damn me and my over-thinking! He's a guy! Why can't I just relax!?" she scolded herself mentally "...Because there always has to be alterior motives with men..." another part of her argued "GAH! Just enjoy yourself dammit!"

She grew fairly silent, not knowing exactly what to talk about or say.

Megatron hummed slightly in thought, looking toward her with his red holoformed eyes flashing slightly in curiosity.

"Now that we have a moment, what made you so passionate in your fascination with me? Most females do not take to the dark evil type, from what I have seen..."

Her blush was fairly dark now, looking down at the table and clearing her throat nervously. She spun her spoon around slowly with her index finger.

"Well... That's not necessarily true... You see... You actually have A LOT of fangirls here." she looked toward him with a slightly shy look "And to be honest... I feel a bit selfish being the one on this date with you. But... I am happy."

She paused and began to twirl her hair with her index finger shyly, Megatron waiting for her continue since he saw she probably had more to say.

"There are... A lot of reasons I took a liking to you... You were always confident, strong... And once you had your mind set on something, there was nothing anyone could do to stop you. I really admired that in every series I watched you in... And still do."

He smirked "You deserve to be selfish, you are mine." he stated matter-of-factly and in a half possessive manner.

Mi continued to blush fairly deeply, wearing a smile on her face as she twirled her hair slightly with her finger.

"And there was always... those moments when you were extremely pleased with one of your soldiers... and those moments, your smile... It always made me have this inner confidence to do something bold and daring. And, even when you weren't smiling, I would still fawn over you, hoping you'd do something unpredictable to get your way and make things more interesting..."

Megatron's smirk widened slightly "Much like I had smiled when Barricade brought you to me?" he questioned with an interested chuckle.

"Yeah..." she said softly, looking away with a still quite flustered look on her face.

Megatron then reached across the table and turned her head to face him.

"Do not be shy around me, Miranda. There is no need to."

Her whole face seemed to redden a bit shyly, looking at him in the eyes "I... don't really... mean to... I just get... really flustered... and crazy shy... when near a crush... Especially when they return my feelings... My emotions become a whirlwind. And, sometimes, I come to the point where... I'll stop talking. Not on purpose... though..."

"Then that is something we will have to work on." Megatron stated, quite enjoying the flustered blush on her face.

"H-how would we?" she stuttered a bit, curious as to how he was planning on handling this weakness of hers.

He smirked "Nothing more than making sure you don't go quiet."

Mi was truly flustered now, her blush going all the way to her ears, her eyes sparkling in pure curiosity "But... Wouldn't that... bore you?" she asked softly.

"It is for you, so I will bear it. I will need to get used to boredom now, seeing as the war is finished." Megatron explained, taking his hand away from her face.

Mi looked at him a bit concerned "I don't want you getting too bored..." she was thoughtful for a moment before she smiled with a gentle blush "Every time I see you fight, it's pretty incredible~. I'd like to see you spar with the Autobots or the Decepticons as much as possible."

"It will be done. I'll be keeping my skills up as much as possible without letting the other humans know of our existence in this dimension now..."

"It's rather sad though... I doubt things would be as peaceful as the movieverse is when it comes to the public knowing about the Autobots and the Decepticons roaming about..." she stated thoughtfully.

Megatron nodded "Indeed. Especially seeing that there is many of your kind that knows of us. Just the concept of us transferring dimensions would cause worldwide panic."

"People sure know how to overreact to things..." she sighed slightly before changing the subject "It's gonna suck going back home. I really want to, but at the same time... I do miss my Mom, Brothers, and Sisters."

"The other Decepticons and I will be accompanying you back to your residence when it is time for you to return." he reassured her.

Miranda reached for his hand and took it in hers, gently feeling her thumb over it, slightly nervous "I know... I'm just... extremely worried as to what Mom would think. Once she finds out about you guys... Out of all the people in the world... her approval of you is what I care about most to be totally honest." she said gently.

"We won't show ourselves to your family until you tell us that they are ready. I don't know your mother, but I believe that she will not care, seeing as you are happy. The war is finished, and the Decepticons will no longer be a threat to humanity or anyone else."

Mi smiled at Megatron fondly "Damn he's so adorable~."

Their food soon arrived and they had some more small talk throughout the meal before they finished their business at the restaurant.

Once they were finished at the restaurant, Megatron and Miranda walked along the sidewalk until they came to a park area that was lit with lanterns to guide their way.

They walked into the park and Mi hugged Megatron's arm as she walked beside him, nuzzling into him slightly. She was extremely happy, tonight had worked out better than she thought it would.

Megatron smirked at the fact Mi was hanging off his arm, enjoying the feeling of it.

As they walked silently along the park's path, just enjoying the evening, Mi became a bit distracted by a darker area of the park for a moment. She stared at the spot for a moment before looking on ahead. But a possible naughty moment between her and Megatron flashed through her mind, distracting her from her previous thoughts. She nuzzled into Megatron's arm a bit more, inching closer to him as they walked, feeling fairly guilty and ashamed for having thoughts such as that this soon, on the first date no less...

"I'm such a perv!" Mi scolded herself "I'm on my FIRST date with the Lord of the Decepticons, and I'm already having dirty thoughts!" she blushed slightly with an inward growl "...Not that I didn't have them BEFORE... BUT STILL! ARGH!" she thought, continuing to mentally beat herself up for being so insensitive.

Megatron seemed to make things worse though... He wrapped his arm around her lower back and pulled her close to him as they walked, a devious smirk gracing his mouth as he continued to walk along the park's path.

Mi blushed profusely, looking straight ahead, sweatdropping "DammitDammitDammitDAMMIT! MEGATRON! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH YOU AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR-" her thought process seemed to slow as she turned toward him, feeling herself melt a bit at the sight of him with how the moonlight hit him. She sighed a dreamy inward sigh as her thought process continued where it had left off "-Damn... fine... sexy... broad... chest~." she mentally purred.

When a small lake surrounded by trees came into view along the way, he guided her toward it to get a closer look. Miranda was able to take in the beautiful scenery along with Megatron, the crisp Canadian breeze gently caressing the tree's leaves and the lake's water, causing gentle ripples in the water, and the leaves gently swaying on the branches of the trees. The moon and the stars reflected in the water like glass, the stars gently twinkling under the serene night sky.

All of Miranda's previous thoughts seemed to be pushed aside as she admired the view that seemed to be something out of a magazine, and she couldn't think of anyone else she'd rather share it with...

Megatron smirked at her fondly when he saw her look toward him with a blush and a soft dreamy smile, and turned her body to face his. He brought his hand up and tilted her face upwards, memorizing every detail of her facial features, before crushing his lips firmly to hers.

Mi made a soft uncontrollable moan into the kiss, Megatron smirking in delight within it. She wrapped her arms around his neck the best she was able, standing on her toes due to his height. He wrapped one arm around her waist while they continued to kiss, his free hand intertwining with her hair before he lifted her up to stand on his toes to make things a little easier.

Megatron then began to trace her bottom lip lightly with his tongue before he moved his lips to gently suckle her bottom lip. Mi gasped gently and crushed her body as close as she could to his, blushing deeply with another small moan at this treatment, kissing him back with soft passion.

"Megatron~." She whispered softly in pleasure.

Megatron separated their lips, a wide smirk plastered on his face with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, Miranda~?" he purred teasingly.

Her face turned a deep shade of red as she shyly nuzzled her face into his shirt, panting ever so slightly "Stop stealing my breath..." she muttered.

Megatron chuckled and wrapped his arms around her "You are my human to play with... I will do what I want." he seemed to purr.

Miranda couldn't help but nuzzle into him with an amused and flattered smirk, her blush still as strong as it was before.

"I think it's time you should return to Emily's residence. You are still a guest in their house." Megatron commented after a good moment or two of silence.

This caused Mi to frown, and hug her arms around him "I don't want to..." she said in a slightly saddened tone.

"Unfortunately, you must. It's getting late. And you are a guest. We will have longer dates once you return to your own residence."

Mi hugged him a bit tighter, not really wanting to let go "I know..."

Megatron gently pried her out of the hug and began to guide her out of the park. Miranda hung off his arm once again as they began to leisurely walk toward Emily's house.

When they finally arrived at Emily's house, Mi looked toward Megatron before giving him a gentle yet firm goodbye kiss that he gladly returned. She waved to him before stepping inside, and closing the door.

Megatron returned the wave as well, and let his holoform dissipate once he was out of sight. His alt-mode that hovered over the house now, soon flew off toward the farmyard.

Mi was now fairly numb and depressed once he left. She walked to the guest room and got dressed into her night clothes once she was there. Once that was done with, she collapsed on the guest bed, and began to uncontrollably sob. She felt so pathetic... Why was she crying? And why did her heart ache SO horribly?!

Emily had just gotten off of work, and heard the sobbing before she entered the basement. She opened the door and walked down the stairs, hearing Mi's sobs silence when she had begun to walk down the stairs.

"Are you okay?" Emily questioned once she fully down the stairs.

Mi covered her head with a blanket in embarrassment "I'm fine..." she said softly.

"Okay... If you say so." Emily commented, heading into the washroom to take a shower.

Once Emily was out of sight, and out of mind, Mi tried to calm herself. But it proved futile, and she ended up quietly crying into her pillow once again. She eventually fell into a tearful, exhausted sleep.

Once Emily stepped out of the washroom, dressed in her night clothes, she looked toward Mi's sleeping form a bit thoughtfully for a moment before she headed into her part of the room to sleep.

Though one would think they were safe in the darkness of sleep... There was one lurking nearby in the darkness of night. His form a silhouette, hidden in the black obscurity outside of Emily's house.

His holoform appeared into the house with a clap of shadowed smoke and mist, approaching Miranda without any hesitation. He took the blanket that was covering her and swiftly tossed it aside. Now vulnerable to him, he took her chin within his hand and lifted her lips to his... Not doing so because of a need for lip contact... but because of all the glorious negative energy he could sap from her.

When Miranda awoke, she didn't get a chance to look at him nor stay conscious, because she fell into the darkness of sleep once again as soon as she had woken from her slumber. He sapped so much negative energy from her at once, she didn't have the energy to fight back nor to stay awake.

He released her unceremoniously and let her fall onto the bed once the dark, hazy, negative energy was drained from her soul.

He smirked deviously.

"This is turning out beautifully~." the dark figure thought.

His holoform disappeared quickly, leaving behind a faint trail of black mist and smoke, his vehicle mode driving away into the ink of night.
