Darkness

Follows "Black Cat" and "Orange"

The darkness was absolute. It almost seemed to have a tangible presence, inky and thick. Even headlights couldn't seem to cut through it. Prowl hated to put the term to it, even now, but it almost seemed…supernatural in nature.

"Well," Jazz's voice came from somewhere to Prowl's right. He automatically tried to turn and focus on it. "Think it's time t' shine a bit a light around here." Jazz continued.

"C'mon Sunny, your turn!" Sideswipe was off to his left and a little bit behind him. So Sunstreaker should be…

"No." His voice was firm, resolute, and coming from Prowl's immediate left. There were other bots in the room as well, and Prowl was loathe to leave all of them in darkness any longer than they needed to be.

"Sunstreaker." Prowl said quietly. "I'm ordering you to use your upgrade."

There was a brief rebellious silence, and everyone waited in the darkness.

And then there was light. And a blindingly bright Sunstreaker, who was glowing fit to light up an entire city, a miniature supernova lighting up the space between his open hands. And an absolutely thunderous expression on his faceplates, just daring anyone to say something.

"Here comes the sun…" Sideswipe dodged back as Sunstreaker lunged at him, laughing as he danced away from his glowing twin. "Here comes the sun, and I say it's all right!"

"Sometimes," Prowl said to no one in particular, "I wonder just what factor was involved in each of our individual upgrades."

"'S like I always say," Jazz said cheerfully, stepping back to let the twins' race past him, "Primus has a whoppin' sense o' humor."

"Evidently."

"I'm walking on sunshine, yeah! And don't it feel good!"

"You won't be feeling good when I get through with you." Sunstreaker snarled, still carrying the light source. Shadows flickered rapidly around the room, momentarily leaving bots in darkness as the light was blocked. As a result, no one else saw Prowl's smile briefly light up his faceplates.

A/N: And that's the last one! Fitting that we end with the first prompt, don't you think?

As for the Magical!Bots...I still have bunnies kicking around, so they'll likely return. I'm considering just continuing on this story ID, and changing the title to something more appropriate. Updates for that, however, will likely not be as quick as these were -- pretty much on a 'whenever inspiration strikes' basis. As well, I'm attempting my first Nanowrimo this year, so I'll be full up with writing for the next month. I might still get a few drabbles out, however -- probably whenever I get frustrated with the epic-in-the-making. It's supposed to be a Transformers fic - if you've read my 'Statistic', it's based on that 'verse. (Hopefully not quite as depressing, however. I'm not sure I can handle 50,000 words of that.) Wish me luck!
