-Chapter Two: Present Day-


Much time had passed since their first encounter at school and now the three were grown up. They were studying at Vos's highest ranking flyers' university: Aerial University.

Statrscream walked down the hallway, looking here and there in search his fellow Seekers. The last time he had seen them, they were doing their work in the classroom but now, they weren't there.

Starscream finally reached the entrance doors of the university and pushed them open. There wasn't any class right now. He could go outside as he pleased. The moment he went outside, he saw Thrust, their classfellow, walking nearby. Starscream ran up to him and asked "Hey, Thrust! Have you seen Skywarp and Thundercracker? I can't find them".

"Oh, those two? I've seen them. They're right behind you, Starscream" said Thrust and Starscream looked behind him, to see them both standing there, looking at him. He turned to Thrust and said a word of thanks before turning back to both of them saying "Where were you two? I was searching the whole university to find you two and turns out you both are not even in the university!" Said Starscream, annoyed. "Well, we just came outside because of-" started Skywarp but Starscream interrupted him "Well, whatever it is, couldn't you have bothered to call me?"

"We weren't here just for a breath of air Screamer! We were given punishment by the teacher as our work wasn't done!" Said Skywarp. "You were?" Said Starscream, ashamed of himself.

"Yes" said Thundercracker.

"I'm-sorry" said Starscream hesitantly after a while. "I guess...I'm just not used to the fact that- well...before you guys...I only had one friend..."

"It's alright" said Thundercracker.

"It's no big deal" said Skywarp.

Starscream felt relieved. He didn't let anyone find out but he was scared. Scared of losing the only friends he had like he had lost Jetfire...

"Hey, Screamer? How 'bout you tear outta your thoughts and we go have some fun?" Said Skywarp suddenly and Starscream said "Huh? Oh- yeah- yeah, of course", a bit surprised. "Skywarp is sooo right, you guys...we really don't have time to do anything, literally...breaks like these in the university are really rare..." said Thundercracker. In his time spent with them all these years, he had grown more confident than he was before. Way more confident than before.

"Alright, you guys, what do you wanna do?" Asked Starscream. "I dunno...maybe pull a prank..." said Skywarp mischeviously. "No. No, definately not. Even after growing up Skywarp, you still pull pranks" said Starscream, nodding his head, sighing. "So what? I like pranking" said Skywarp and Starscream asked Thundercracker "What about you? What do you wanna do?". "Me? I don't know...watch a movie, maybe? We are allowed to do that in break" said Thundercracker. "Great idea!" Said Starscream and Skywarp in unison.

"Only question is, which one?" Asked Skywarp.

"Well-maybe an action movie?" Suggested Thundercracker and both Starscream and Skywarp agreed.

"How about The Revengers?" Said Starscream.

"Yeah, that sounds nice. Come on lets watch" said Skywarp and they went to their dorm to watch the movie together...

After watching the movie, the bell rang and they reluctantly headed towards class but there was something waiting for them there. Something for Starscream...


They reached the classroom, talking to each other and as Starscream wasn't paying attention to where he was going, he bumped into someone right outside the classroom door, talking to their Professor.

"I'm sorry!" Said Starscream as the person looked around. He wasn't really hurt as he was bigger and stronger in size than Starscream but when he turned around and looked at him, Starscream gasped.

"It's alrigh-" started the person but also stopped watching Starscream as if he'd realised the thing Starscream had.

"Starscream, this is Jetfire. He's taking a tour of this university today and I want you to give him that tour, I'll hand you the class notes later" said their Professor. Professor Maryam. "Yes, professor" said Starscream in a far away tone as Skywarp and Thundercracker exchanged looks.

After the teacher had gone and Skywarp and Thundercracker had too, Jetfire said "Asalamoalikum". Starscream said "Walikumasalam" and then, went quite. He couldn't believe this was Jetfire. His eyes were the same and he looked the same and had the same name but he couldn't believe it still. "You- you're Jetfire?" He said hesitantly after a while.

"Yes, I am Starscream" said Jetfire in a voice that gripped Starscream's heart. Still he said "How'd you- you know I'm-" but Jetfire said "Don't you think I'll remember you old friend?" And they both hugged each other. "I missed you..." said Starscream and Jetfire replied "You don't think I did?"

After that, Starscream gave him the tour of the entire university and when they stopped, both were really tired of roaming the halls. "Jetfire...why'd you come here? I mean, I'll be glad if you joined us in this university. You are joining, aren't you" asked Starscream, scared that he would deny.

"Starscream...I'm not sure...maybe I might but I don't know for sure...that choice is up to my parents..." said Jetfire sadly, already hopeless. "Don't worry...I'm sure they'll allow you...I know them..." said Starscream, he remembered Jetfire's parents. They were ever so kind and thoughtful and they would totally allow Jetfire from what he knew.

"You're right...I shouldn't lose hope" said Jetfire, gaining back his happiness. "But I have to go now though..." he said, his face getting miserable again.

"How about you give me your number?" Said Starscream. "So that we can always stay in contact" he continued. "You're right" said Jetfire, taking out a pen and paper from his pocket and writing down his number on it. "Here" he said handing Starscream the paper which Starscream took gladly and put it inside his pocket. "I better go then" said Jetfire, patting Starscream on the shoulder and heading out. "Allahafiz" said Starscream, tears falling to the ground. "Allahafiz" said Jetfire, also crying.

With that, Jetfire left and Starscream stood alone in the room. He stood there for about 5 nanokliks before he realised that he was missing his other classes so he wiped his tears and went outside the room and walked down the hallway to his class.


Thundercracker and Skywarp waved at him when he entered as the teacher's attention was on the board and Starscream felt happy. He felt happy that he had friends and therefore said "ALHAMDULILLAH" and went to sit next to them.
