A/N:I feel so bad that I needed to write another random chapter…
Dischclaimer:Same as the previous 8 chapters, lol.
Chapter 9: Water Wedding!
"I do."
"And do you take this lovely femme as your beloved? Through health and sickness?"
"I do!"
"You may kiss the bride."
It was just after that, things brightened up in the Aqua Dome where the wedding was held; fountains of Energon squirt outside so high, nobody could actually see when it was about to return back to the metallic planet. Tidal Wave and Tsunami emerged from the dome arm in arm as a large ship was docked outside waiting for the two. The Transformers wished the couple luck as the ship departed to another place where everybody will be gathered again once more before resuming work. Everybody was outside talking about the newly weds. Most bots thought that the idea of a human wedding was weird but in the end, it does seem interesting to say the least. Standing outside with the humans was Optimus Prime conversing with the sisters and Starscream.
"So, you're telling me this young man is Starscream?" Optimus asked pointing to the young man in the palm of Hot Shot.
"Yep, the one and only!" Virus exclaimed. She was sitting on Hot Shot's shoulder next to Sirus.
"Yes I am, Prime…" Starscream replied in this arrogant voice of his.
"Hey, watch your mouth there. Human but still same old arrogant Starscream." Hot Shot said but Starscream didn't care; this was the way he was.
"Don't worry Hot Shot, it's Starscream after all. We can't change him even though we stitch that frown into a smile," Virus said with her arms crossed. Starscream snorted at the insult.
"Anyway, can we go now? The celebration is waiting for all of us you know?" Sirus jumped from Hot Shot's shoulder to his palm and then onto the ground below.
In the large hall (previously a conference room) was turned into a luxurious place just for Tidal Wave and Tsunami's wedding; nobody was surprised that Soundwave invited himself to DJ the party. He continuously remixed tracks he gathered from artists from Earth; it was to the point that some, no, many of them became quite annoying. To the younger bots, they looked up to Soundwave since they never heard such energetic music. The older ones just smiled since it was finally time for the younger ones to know life.
The bride and groom were not present which allowed Sirus and the Autobots to continue decorating the room with more balloons and ribbons. Sirus wished that she could help more… she wished she was her mechanical self again but knowing her life now, that would never happen. All she could do right now is sit on their shoulders and direct them closely.
"No, no! Sideswipe! The pink balloons go over there!" Sirus slapped her forehead with a foot kicking the side of his head.
"I'm sorry! I thought it would look good here…"
"Over there!" Sirus sat down sighing. She saw Starscream leaning by the wall with his arms crossed.
Starscream looked at his red bow, pulling it only for it to smack him back in the throat. He didn't belong here at all; it was annoying and it was too happy. Sure, he felt happy for the couple and all so what was the point of him staying here? Transformers really didn't need all this wedding mush, honestly. On the opposite side of the room, the girls were in a group consisting of Virus, Misha, Sally, Lori and Alexis. She's gorgeous…wait. Starscream shook his head with his cheeks erupting the color of red. I am a proud Decepticon! I need not for such nonsense! I may be human but I'm a proud Decepticon at heart!!!
Lori noticed this and whispered into Virus' ear. She grinned and told Misha and she told Alexis. Alexis swung around and smiled at him, giving him a small wave. He immediately blushed making the girls burst out with laughter. Starscream grunted while constantly fiddling with his bow. He wanted to take it off but ripping it off wasn't an option. He remembered that Sirus did something to the bow that won't let it release by itself.
"Need help?" a voice asked.
Looking up, he saw Alexis staring into his eyes with a soft smile. "No thanks," he gruffly replied. "I can deal with this myself."
"HAHAHAHAHA!" this was the voice of Virus' laughter from the other side of the room causing 'bots and 'cons to stare at the deranged girl.
"Never mind her," Alexis giggled. "Here,"
Placing her hands around the bow, she lifted it but it was somehow caught. She tried again but it yanked up his collar. Starscream's hands moved to the back of his neck touching hers, trying to untanglesomething from the back. Little did both of them know the entire room was looking at them (it was fun watching humans anyway). Alexis finally took off his bow and showing him the culprit of it all; it was a baby pin. Now they realize they were just inches away from each other's face and the room was dead silent.
"Oh come on! Kiss, kiss!" Sally quietly jumped.
Before both of them knew it, they broke away from each other turning away with reddened cheeks. The only thing heard was Sally's feet, stomping onto the floor. The 'bots and 'cons resumed their work but with smiles on their faces. It was funny knowing that the most hardcore Decepticon had a soft side…
For final touches, the pillars in the room were filled with water (since they were transparent) and mechanical marine life was added; it was Sideswipe's last idea to make the room have a more 'water' them since the host's names were water, respectively. Sitting at the stage was a large energon cake, how it was solidified, nobody knew but it was gorgeous nonetheless. The bots stood admiring their work while the humans were on a hovering platform in awe of the sight. The sisters were with their brother (sitting on his shoulder), Sideways (in robotic form) who was by Soundwave, constantly thinking of a song for the newly weds. The chandelier was lowered, filled with water and fishes that flashed brightly, using the colors of the rainbow. History was about to be made today and Sirus made damn sure nothing went wrong.
Not after long, the hosts arrived following by Cyclonus and Demolisher who were extremely happy for the big guy. It was to their understanding that to find a femme of this size and with a name resembling water was difficult so… it was the perfect match. Cyclonus continuously bragged about his match making skills and considered it a full time profession; whether it meant being on Earth and on Cybertron.
"Congratulations, Tidal Wave and Tsunami," Optimus shook both their hands. "Finally a solid bond between an Autobot and Decepticon."
"Yes, it is!" Tsunami responded. "I've also been waiting for this to happen but never expected it to happen to me!" Clearly, her voice was dripping with sarcasm, but good sarcasm nonetheless.
"Tidal Wave happy."
Optimus' spark felt good for the two since he had been hoping this for so long. Cybertron was finally at peace, yes, he recited this everyday to himself wishing however, that the events would have never involved war. He looked around the room and saw everybody's optics lit up with delight, congratulating the two. He looked over to where the sisters were perched.
"Hey Optimus!" Jetfire called out. "It's time for you to make the speech and get this PARTY STARTED!"
Everybody went to their respective seats while the humans were placed on the balconies with terraced stairs. Optimus gave his speech with truth and charisma, appealing to everybody; bot and human alike.
"Furthermore—"
"Let's get this party started!" This was from Soundwave, turning the volume to maximum causing the pillars to vibrate. Optimus' microphone was completely cut off leaving everybody in awe. The sisters stared at Soundwave… lo and behold, Soundwave…
Everybody removed the chairs, making way for the couple to initiate the first dance. Both of them were clueless on what to do but they soon got the hang of it (thanks to yours truly, Soundwave). The girls laughed and decided to change into their gowns. After an hour, the girls emerged with gorgeous gowns in various colors; pink, purple, magenta, blue, silver, black—all colors. The guys changed into another set of suits. Before the party could properly proceed, Hot Shot stood on the stage with an announcement. Jetfire immediately dragged (more like shoved/kicked/forced/shooed) Tidal Wave and his bride out, then giving Hot Shot the thumb's up.
"Optimus sir, I have a request,"
"What is it?"
"There's this announcement I have to make…" Hot Shot scratched the back of his head.
"Permission granted."
Clapping his hands, he said, "All right, Autobots and Decepticons, today is Tidal Wave's special day so let's make it special! Sideswipe, Jetfire and I thought of a little something for you all to wear! Sideswipe!"
The young bot came to the stage with a huge metallic box, opening it. "Here it is…" Sideswipe pulled out a long neck tie from the box.
"Oh come on!" this was Scattershot's last reply before everybody was dragged in to put on the neck tie.
From the great Optimus Prime to every bot present there was wearing a red neck tie (which was, in fact hilarious by all means). It was perceived to be a prank but instead, it was dead serious. The only person who didn't really have a great time was Starscream, leaning quietly by a pillar staring at the mechanical fish eating fish food—energon—type of food… The humans were on the floor, dancing together to all types of music, regardless the girls were wearing gowns. Sitting quietly chatting with some of the girls, Alexis sipped her drink watching the youth dance their hearts out. Maybe having Soundwave as a DJ type idea wasn't so bad, everybody was having such a great time. Virus was done dancing while she moved over to Starscream, still leaning by the pillar.
"Hey," she tapped him on the shoulder. "Why don't you go out there and have fun? Y'know? Celebrate?"
He shrugged. "I don't feel like it."
"That can be solved. Why not ask someone to dance with you then?" Virus pointed to Alexis sitting quietly on the other side of the room, "Her."
"…Fine…."
Before Virus could even utter another word, she was stunned by his immediate reply; Him? Asking her to dance when he himself possibly does notknow anything?! A gentle smile appeared on her lips when she actually saw that the mission was finally on the way; Primus sure gave me a tough one... well, it's not my story but it's his and hers. If he could mend her broken heart, my mission will be done, after all, I don't belong here.
Only a matter of minutes later, the two were already performing a ball room dance, gracefully sliding across the floor. Everybody stopped with eyes and optics placed on the two. Whispers flew back and forth; especially to Starscream noting his "not-so-arrogant-attitude. She could see both of them talking quietly, wondering what they were talking about. The two were so lost into each other; everybody just stared at the two while slow songs played gently according to its graceful rhythm. It seems like this wasn't Tidal Wave and Tsunami's wedding; rather, it was more focused on those two on the dance floor, twirling and smiles across their faces. Nobody knew what those two were actually thinking but what everybody did know that it was truly the beginning of his life…
