chapter 10 Sad day
The bots were sitting at the table. "Come on Jetstorm eat something." Drift said. Jetstorm just heaved a sigh. "I made your favorite, Tech chocolate spread with cyber-marshmallow topping on toasted white tech bread." Drift said. Jetstorm lifted the bread. "I'm too sad eat." Jetstorm said pushing the plate away. Divebomb then sneezed all over the sandwich. "YUCK! Now I'm really not hungry. I'm going to take a nap." Jetstorm said. "Jetstorm seems sad." Hot shot said who was watching the whole thing. "Yes Jetstorm's very sad. I am too today is the anniversary of the day our parents died." Jetstream said. "Oh that's terrible. I know how you two feel." Side swipe said. "Yes and sometimes taking a nap is how he deals." Jetstream said. "That's true I'll wake him up 6:00 and I'll see if I can get him to eat something." Drift said.
Jetstorm walked into his room and got into his bed. He put his hand under his pillow and pulled out a holo-picture and turned it on. It was picture of him his brother and his parents. "I miss you," He said with tear falling out of his optics. He placed it back under his pillow and fell asleep.
Fracture and Snow cat were watching TV while Stricken the X-droid was polishing his weapon. He looked out the window. He saw a nightmare bug a creature of Conquerdroid invention. "UH OH this is not good!" He said. "What's not good?" Fracture asked not looking away from the TV. "I just saw a Conquerdroid creature of invention." Stricken said. "Which one the one that turns everything into Tech-baloney?" Snow cat asked. "Not this one is more dangerous than lunch meat maker." Stricken said. "Then which one is it?" Fracture asked. "The nightmare bug sole purpose is to invade dreams and turn all dreams into nightmares!" Stricken said. "We must stay awake!" Fracture shouted. Snow cat agreed. "Come on lets check on the others." Stricken said. All the other bots humans were awake. "Look Jetstream isn't sleeping either." Stricken said. "No I'm not." Jetstream said.
They walked into Jetstorm's room. They saw he was asleep and the nightmare bug crawled into Jetstorm's sub conscience. "Jetstorm." Fracture said. "Don't make a peep if he wakes up while nightmare bug is inside would be bad it will remain in there forever turning all future dreams into nightmares." Stricken said. Preceptor brought the new and improved dream enter and exit device. "We will go inside. But keep in mind in the mind of this one minicon anything is possible." Stricken said.
They entered the dream.
In the dream. "That's odd according to the device we should be in the dream." Stricken said. "Hey I'm up here." Jetstorm said standing on the ceiling."Yep we are in his dream alright." Jetstream said. Then a turtle with wings flew by. "That's something you don't see everyday." Fracture said. Jetstorm came down. "So you guys want to play a game?" Jetstorm asked. "Listen Jetstorm we are not apart of your dream." Preceptor said. "Of course you are why would you be here?" Jetstorm asked. "We are here to save you from dream intruding Conquerdriod creature." Stricken said. The dream began to dissolve. "What's happening?" Jetstorm asked. "Nightmare bug is turning nice dream into nightmare." Stricken said.
They landed in what looked like Crosslake's town square. "Look we're back in town." Fracture said. "That can't be because I'm a dream." Jetstorm said. "You are right we are still in dream." Preceptor said. "Look it's Ms. Stewart." Hannah said. "Hi Ms. Stewart nice day isn't it?" Fracture said. "No I'm feeling crabby." She said and turned into a crab. "Yikes!" Clampdown said. The dream began to dissolve again. "RUN!" Fracture said. "Good idea." Hannah said. "Look a door." Divebomb said. "I have had this dream before bad things happen in there." Jetstorm said. "Mazitanu means family, family means." Jetstream said. "Nobody gets left behind or forgotten." Jetstorm said and they went through.
In the outside world.
Drift was standing in a cyber market set up on earth. "What's wrong did another crow get in to the base?" Zipline asked. "No Jetstorm is in bad mood it's sad day for him and Jetstream today and that makes me feel sad too." Drift said. "You know what I do when I feel sad?" Zipline asked. "No what?" Drift asked. "First eat a large tech fries with tech chocolate shake then I think of the words of a song that my mom sang to me when I was young. When the storm starts to grow and I feel sad your song drifts in like gentle wind song." Zipline said. "Wait Jetstream said his mother use sing that to him and Jetstorm when they were little." Drift said. A clock beeped. "I got to wake up Jetstorm if I don't he won't be able to get to sleep tonight." Drift said leaving. "Don't forget the song." Zipline said. "I won't!" Drift hollered.
The next dream started off fine but then things started to go wrong. "Jetstorm, wake up. Come on sleepy head." Drifts voice said. "Oh no! Drift is trying wake up Jetstorm. Fracture stop him." Stricken said. "Okay on it." Fracture said.
"Jetstorm, Jetstorm," Drift said. Fracture appeared behind him. "Don't! I mean do not wake Jetstorm." Fracture said in whisper covering Drift's mouth. "Are you nut's sneaking up on me like that you're lucky I didn't hack you in half with one of my swords." Drift said. The others started to get trapped. "Fracture is too late." Preceptor said.
"Fracture what's your problem have you been stuck by Spinella again?" Drift asked. "No! I'm suppose to stop you the others went into Jetstorm's dream to catch and stop a dream invading Conquerdriod creature if he wakes up while their inside they stay there forever." Fracture said. "Must things like this always happen when Optimus and Megatron go to an off world meeting?" Drift asked. "Jetstorm for all the love that is good sleep, sleep, sleep." Fracture said. Jetstorm mumbled. "It's not working!" Fracture said. "Of course not you sound like nails on chalk board." Drift said. "Wait I know song that might work." Drift said. "When the starts to grow and I feel sad you song drifts in like wind song. Your smile shines like a million stars. A cybernetic dream of you." Drift sang. "I know that song." Jetstorm said. "Me too." Jetstream said.
Jetstorm was back to sleep.
In the dream. "The lullaby seems to be working, but it is not over yet." Stricken said. The nightmare seemed pretty bad.
"Look at him they must be in trouble." Drift said. Jetstorm was tossing and turning and crying out. "Jetstorm's dream's have become nightmares." Fracture said. Drift picked up Jetstorm's picture. "Storms a cybernetic dream of you. Fracture you have to go back. And give this to Jetstorm." Drift said. "Why can't you?" Fracture asked. "I have to stay out here and sing to him again if he starts to wake up. This picture makes Jetstorm happy maybe it will make him remember the happy times with his parents instead of filling him with sadness and help him turn his nightmare back into a dream." Drift said. "Okay," Fracture said.
Fracture entered the dream. "Here this is yours." Fracture said handing Jetstorm the holo-picture. "My holo-picture." Jetstorm said. He saw that day. His father began to tickle him. He shouted for his brother help him. The nightmare bug was defeated. Stricken captured it. Jetstorm was under tree with his family. "Jetstorm," Jetstream said. "No let him dream Jetstream he is in a peaceful place." Stricken said. They left the dream.
Jetstorm woke and everyone was in the room. "What are you doing in here?" Jetstorm asked. "We just wanted to watch you sleep." Matt said. "I had great dream Drift and Jetstream. I will tell you about it later right now I'm hungry can I have another sandwich I promise I'll eat it." Jetstorm said. "Sure thing Jetstorm." Drift said. "Extra cyber marshmallow topping please." Jetstorm said.
Everyone was on the beach. Jetstream began to tickle Jetstorm. "Drift help!" Jetstorm said and soon both he and his brother were laughing.
