Starlit's view:

It has been a few weeks since I saw that flash of light and the spark wrenching scream crashing through it. I told Prowl about it but he said it was probably just a nightmare. Problem was I wasn't sleeping when it happened.

Since that strange occurrence, Prowl has taught me a lot about our family and this strange planet. Prowl and I have the same creator, Nautica , but two different sires making us half siblings; or, maybe we did have the same Sire. That wasn't clear. His sire's name was Sideways, but my sire is still unknown. Prowl tells me Sideways wasn't a nice mech at all and an even worst Sire. He cursed at him and would call him worthless. Then one day when Prowl was seven, Sideways went too far and our creator took Prowl away and severed her bond with him. Prowl lived with her until the draft made him run away which led him to this Master Yoketron, where he learned to be a ninja bot. Jazz was also taught under Yoketron as I later found out and wondered why he and Prowl hadn't met before Earth.

Speaking of Earth, I learned that the dominate race here where humans. That is what Sari is but she also happens to be part cybertronion. This confuses me and I don't think I'll ever understand and most likely don't want to know how a human and a robot did that.

I've also learned Earth is very beautiful and has tons of amazing things, like the tree in Prowl's room. He told me the tree grew despite being trapped in the dark building. Bumblebee kept saying it was an optic sore and should be taken out but Prowl, Jazz and I like it. It beings life in to the dreary and depressing orange walls that are all around the base. Earlier in the week the tree started blooming beautiful white flowers and made the base smell sweet instead of like old oil and rust.

Jazz tried to explain that we had come from a planet called Cybertron that was made off mostly metal. I couldn't remember my home planet but tried to imagine Earth only with metal trees and plants. He also tried to get me to remember where my home was and where it was located on Cybertron. I could only remember it was an apartment on like the third or second floor but nothing else.


"Starlit! Come here!" Bumblebee called me from Prowl's room, where I was writing in my diary Jazz had given me, incase I could remember any thing and no one was around to tell. So far I had used it to write down different flowers I saw and my current thoughts.

I walked out and saw he and Sari where setting up a new game controller. Bee had taught me how to play video games but I never participated in their bets. One time Bumblebee won and made Sari clean his nasty room. She passed out from the fumes not long after she entered and Bee got scolded by Ratchet and Prime. He was sentenced to monitor duty for two weeks and had to clean his own room.

"What?" I asked seeing this weird controller with no buttons and was shaped like a cone. "What's that?"

"It's called a microphone." Sari giggled. "You sing into it!"

"Why would you do that?" I asked getting Bumblebee to laugh at me. "What? I don't understand."

"Bee come on. We'll show you how it works." Sari said putting the game into the console.

Once it was in, the screen lit up with the words 'Karaoke Revolution'. She pressed start and it went into a screen to choose your character and customize them how ever you want. Sari's avatar looked like her only it had bright pink hair and a huge yellow visor with green lenses. Bumblebee's avatar had dark skin like Sari and bright green hair and big red shoes and his pants where hanging down showing what humans called underwear. His shirt was yellow with a black stripe, as where his pants, just like his chest armor.

"Your turn!" Sari happily cried handing me a real controller. I just stared blankly at the screen which was asking me if I was a boy or a girl. I'd learned earlier that week that girl meant femmie and boy meant mech. I continued and changed my femmie character into how I wanted her to be. I choose long red hair, almond shaped optics, and pale skin for her. Her clothing was harder to choose but I eventually choose white knee high pants to match me and a tank top with a short sleeve sweat shirt over it. The under shirt was white as well but the top shirt was a light blue green with light violet accents just like my armor. Then I got into accessories and Sari said she and Bee had to choose for me like they had for each other. They had me leave for a few clicks, but when I came back I was horrified. My pretty character was turned into a freak! She had a huge red boa around her neck and horrid looking black bracelets that looked like vines with spikes and spiders that ran up her arms. To top it off she wore a Viking helmet, a bright pink one at that. Both of my friends had huge smiles plastered on their faces at my look of terror.

"Like it? I think it's the best one so far!" Bee scoffed. I was going to tell them to change it but Sari pressed start and we had to choose our songs, but we choose songs for each other. Sari and I choose "She Thinks My Tractors Sexy" for Bumblebee, which he was horrified by, Bee and I choose "Baby One More Time" for Sari, and Bee and Sari choose a song called "Miss You" for me.

Sari did great but she was defiantly not a soprano and shrieked on the high notes. Bumblebee on he other hand…I'm not sure I can hear out of my left audio any more, his voice was like nails on a chalk board! Jazz, Prowl and Ratchet even came out wondering who was hurt but Sari and just laughed and pointed to a glowering Bumblebee.

Now it was my turn. I started off well but then these strange images started to appear. They weren't on the screen but flashing in my mind. I didn't know what was going on but all I remember was going down with Bumblebee rushing to my side and calling my name as I blacked out with an image of a screaming femmie clouding my vision and screams ringing in my audios.


Prowl's view:

I was quiet in the base for once. Ratchet hadn't yelled at Bumblebee yet today, Starlit was even venturing out further than just our room to the waste room. Everything was semi-normal enough that Jazz and I finally had some alone time together.

"Mmmm Prowl, this is nice." Jazz sighed putting his arms around me and kissing my cheek. "I really missed this alone time with ya. I really want to do this more..."

He was cut off by a horrible screeching sound. We looked at each other before deciding to go see what the pit was going on. Once out in the main living we saw that Starlit, Sari and Bumblebee where all playing some kind of singing game. It was Bumblebee's voice that was making the horrible noise. Jazz's face was even slightly twisted in pain from it; even I was trying not to make a face.

"What in Primus sakes?!" Ratchet started to yell but stopped to cover his audios.

We all thanked Primus when his horrible rendition of She Thinks My Tractors Sexy was over. Starlit grabbed the microphone from Bee before he could do any more damage to her left audio, which she kept rubbing.

Sari pressed start and Starlit's song started. She had a very sweet soft voice but was wavering from a little stage fright. Then something went wrong. She dropped the microphone and clutched her head as if in pain. She doubled over and landed over on to Bee's lap, who yelped and was now freaking out about the pain stricken femmie.

"Starlit?" I cried rushing over to my sisters aid only to hear her mumbling strange words. "Can you hear me? Starlit?!"


Starlit's view:

I could see a big room, flashes of faces smiling, all in blue monochromatic tones. A femmie was talking to me, telling me to help her stir energon mix for energon sweets. Then strange flashes of a screaming face. Now the femmie was telling me to hide in here as she shut the door. I could still see out of the horizontal slits in the louvered doors. More screams as a shadow was seen cutting down the nice femmie which I now think was my creator. Her screams echoed through my head but another voice was cutting through this nightmare.

"Starlit?" It echoed as if it were far away. "Can you hear me?"

The voice sounded like it was getting closer to me, or I was getting closer to it.

"Come on, lay her on the floor." Another voice said even louder now. "Bumblebee back up!" I felt some one open my optic and found myself blinded by a scanners light. I swung my arm and batted the arm away from my face earning a growl from the voice.

"Starlit, you alright?" I heard Prowl's voice call out in concern.

"I think her memory might be coming back." Ratchet said setting me up against his shoulder. "Hey kiddo, you ok? Did you hurt you self at all? Ya landed pretty hard."

My vision was slightly blurry and every thing was bright when I opened my optics. I quickly shut them and covered them with my hands.

"Bulkhead could you turn down the lights?" Ratchet called out. Not long after that the lights went down and I could uncover them again. Thank primus for light dimmer switches.

"So it won't come back at once?" Jazz asked. "Well is that good or bad?"

How long was I spacing out?

"Good and bad. But mostly good since if her memories did all come back at once it could crash her processor." Ratchet sighed. "Bad news is I could take sometime before we find out who killed your twos creator." He motioned to Prowl to come and take me from his arms. Once Prowl had a hold of me, Ratchet examined the rest of me to make sure I hadn't twisted or broken any thing. I was cleared.

"So they're just going to hit like this and make 'er pass out? Crazy..." Jazz asked leaning over the back of the couch.

"Yes, but they could also come in nightmares. I don't want her moving into her new room quite yet. Just in case they get too vivid and well...if no one if there to calm her she may freak out more than needed. I don't want her hurting herself. This will be temporary. Just until the nightmares go away." Ratchet said trying not to worry us. It didn't work and worried us more.

"She's going to be ok though?" Sari asked with big blue eyes, looking like I was about to die.

"Yes, she'll be fine other wise." The white and red medic sighed.


Prowl view:

After we finished talking to Ratchet we took a now recharging Starlit into our room. Again there was no other bed for her other than ours, so we laid her there until we moved her bed into ours for the time being.

"Jazz, I think we shouldn't interface while she's staying with us. I...I don't want her to uhh...see us do it." I stuttered.

"Of course not baby. 'Sides I'm not here to just interface with cha all the time." Jazz said wrapping his arms around my waist. "I love you, and now that you have a charge I'll respect your word."

"Oh, and you didn't before?"

"Well I...yes I did! I didn't mean it to sound like I never..." I cut him off by turning around and kissing him.

"Hush, I'm only teasing. I know what you meant. Thank you Jazz, I love you too."
