I own nothing, except for Leigh and now the sparkling.

22. Decision

The first thing that Sunstreaker said when Harper, and Max appeared in his backseat was, "You mean there's more of them?"

Alex's brow twitched as she slapped the steering wheel. "Listen up Sunflower, there my best friend and brother, so show some respect! How would you feel if someone dissed your brother?"

The retort on the nickname died as Sunstreaker redirected his ire to Alex's question. "They'd be scrap metal." he paused and knew he'd walked right into her trap. "I see your point, Nova." he said grudginly.

Harper made a slight face. "Why is he calling you that?"

"Well, TC started calling me that at first because he said it's a reflection of my personality, but I'm starting to like it now." Alex said smiling.

"That, and you made Prime sear the name into your skin." Sunstreaker added.

Alex shrugged. "Yeah, there's that too."

Max was looking at the interior in awe. "Wow, a real alien. This is so cool! Are all of them this cool?"

"None of them are as cool as me." Sunstreaker boasted.

Alex raised a brow. "Personally, I like Sideswipe better."

"What? Why?"

"Hmm. His red exterior reminds me of Harper's hair color. Just like how Sparkling-Perry's optic color reminded Leigh of her brother." Alex explained. 'And I really can't think of anythin' yellow that I like.'

"So Justin's really at where-ever-it-is-where-going?" Harper asked.

"Yeah." Alex answered. "You're not gonna be all stalker-crazy over him are you?"

Harper rolled her eyes. "No. Being dead has made me see that my one-sided attraction to Justin would never be returned, and that I should find someone who would return my feelings. Who knows, maybe being a robot I can find someone who will like me for me."

Alex looked midly surprised at her speech. "So you want to stay a robot instead of turning back into a human and being normal?"

Harper nodded. "I've thought through this carefully. If I turn back into a human, I'll have to abandon my best friend, but if I stay a robot I don't have to." she shrugged. "Besides, being normal is overrated anyway."

"You want me to make two more?" Wheeljack asked incredulously.

"That's right." Alex nodded.

"One being a femme and the other being a sparkling?" Wheeljack questioned.

Alex nodded again. "Can you do it?"

"Of course I can do it." Wheeljack assured her. "Hopefully though Ghost-Peregrine won't mind waiting a bit longer." he paused. "Tell Justin that his body is nearly done."

"Wow. You work fast." Alex said in approval. Wheeljack's head fins lit up. "So what's missing?"

Alex wasn't sure, but she could almost tell that Wheeljack was smirking under his face mask. "Him and Leigh."

Alex's eyes widened before her face broke into a grin. "I'll go get them!" she said excitedly, a spring in her step as she hurried out of the lab.

"You have a lot of interesting stuff." Thundercracker noted as he looked over the crystal ball in his hands.

Leigh shruged as she put another spell book on the living room shelf. "We only took what we neeed and could help us."

"I didn't think it was possible for two people to be so obvious yet so oblivious." Peregrine's voice floated to their ears as he drifted in with Harper following.

"I know, it's so obvious that they like each other." Harper agreed.

Leigh and TC blushed. "Stay out of this!" They both snapped.

"But you do like each other, don't you?" Harper quried.

Both TC and Leigh's blushes reddened and the ghosts both smirked.

"Well, TC is pretty cool and we do get along with each other rather well." Leigh admitted.

"We do spend alot of time together." Thundercracker added.

Before any real confession could be made, Alex barge in with Justin trailing after her, both looking extremely happy. "Wheeljack finished making Justin's body! He just needs you to bring him back to life now!"

"Why are you so happy? I mean it's great that Justin's gonna be back, but I thought you two hated each other?" Leigh asked.

Alex huffed. "True, but I want him back so much that I'm willing to overlook that." her smile returned. "So lets go!"

"Can I come too?" Harper asked and Alex nodded.

"I'll stay here with Max to make sure he doesn't do somethin' dumb." Ghost-Peregrine said.

Leigh looked a the faux human. "You coming TC?"

TC smiled slightly. "Sure."

The excitement of Justin's revival made them over look the way TC and Leigh's hands interlinked for a moment.
