Chapter 25: the park
Starscream sat in the park. He sat on a white park bench. He looked up at the trees. Pure green and rustling in the breeze. He looked down at the human children running around and playing. Everything seemed so peaceful. Starscream perked up as something in his pocket buzzed again. He groaned, digging into his pocket again.
"What is it? Who is it this time?" Starscream snapped, the phone to his ear.
"It's me again, Starscream. Where are you?" Megatron hissed.
"I told you! I'm not coming back!" shouted Starscream.
"I will find you Starscream," hummed Megatron, "I'll be sure to track this call."
"Then I will move. You'll never find me. I don't want to worry about the Autobots while we are experiencing something we may never again…" gasped Starscream whispered, hanging up.
Starscream stood up, moving toward to trees. He wanted to simply clear his head. He was in between two different lives. Being human, doing things and getting into things he never thought of, and his robot life, a life he's so used to. He sat under the shade of the tree. He sighed, looking up into the light shimmering onto him. He groaned.
"Mister? What are you doing?"
Starscream looked down. A little girl was looking at him. She had bright glowing blue eyes. Starscream tilted his at her. She smiled. He shook his head and crawled out from under the tree.
"Nothing. I was just leaving," nodded Starscream, standing up.
"You look like a business man. My daddy is a businessman. He wears a suit and a tie," babbled the little girl.
Starscream looked at his clothes again. This little girl was confusing him. Starscream thought quietly. He patted his golden tie. He didn't think he looked like a business man. He looked more like a teen jazzing up his father's suit. He looked back at the little girl.
"And you are?" Starscream gasped.
"I'm Miranda! I live down the street. My daddy works at Sumdac tower. And my mommy works at a flower shop…" the little girl smiled.
"Why are you telling me this!?" snapped Starscream.
"I don't know. I think you look cute. My daddy says I have a tendency to babble. What's your name?" Miranda shouted.
"I don't think you should…I mean…I need to…" Starscream stuttered.
He looked back, toward the entrance of the park. He saw Megatron, Lugnut and Blitzwing. Starscream groaned. He looked back at Miranda. She had a huge smile that slightly disturbed him. He paused a moment to look at the small, then shook his head.
"I've got to go. If anyone asks, you didn't talk to me," Starscream ordered, running off.
Miranda frowned, watching Starscream run off. She sniffled and looked toward the entrance. Megatron was moving around the park. She laid under the tree. Then she looked forward, tilting her head quietly. Something lied on the grassy floor. She lifted in, rubbing it. A small purple phone. She smiled, not noticing the Decepticon symbol on the top. She also didn't notice that Megatron was looking to her and the object in her hands.
