Beast Wars*Over Humans Episode Three: To Be or Not To Be Human (Part One) YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Episode Three is HERE! IÕm not saying anything much in front of this, other than this gets pretty sappy and sexy. THIS is why itÕs PG-13! Read ON! .................................................................................................................... **At the gate of the base** [Optimus, Rattrap, Rinox, BA, and Silverbolt are heading out] Optimus: DonÕt worry! WeÕll be gone for two days. Just guard the base and be careful. Also, BEHAVE! [With that, they depart, leaving Jenna and Cheetor by themselves] Cheetor: I canÕt believe they actually left us! Jenna: Probably best. If I knew any of my missing crew might be somewhere, IÕd be rushing to help them, too. Look on the bright side! We have two days to ourselves now. Cheetor: This should be fun! .................................................................................................................... **Twenty-Four Hours Later** [TheyÕre on JennaÕs bed playing cards] Jenna[uninterested]: Go fish. Cheetor: IÕve never been more bored during my time on-line! Jenna: Neither have I! I know, letÕs just talk. WhatÕs it like being part machine? Cheetor: What are you talking about? I am a machine! Jenna: But you have a soul! Cheetor: No, thatÕs a spark. Jenna: Well in my book, thatÕs called a soul! ItÕs your sole being. Humans have them as well. Only, my soul cannot be removed as yours can, as Optimus explained to me. Uh, Cheetor, IÕve been meaning to ask you something. Do maximals and Predacon, marry, and have kids like us humans do? Cheetor: Well, yeah. Sort of like that. Jenna: I know this might be impertanent, but how do you have children? Cheetor: ThatÕs not impertenant at all. DonÕt worry, IÕve had this talk already! [Jenna stifles a laugh] Jenna: So. . . how do you, do it? Cheetor: Well, when two sparks fall in love, they go through what is called a transfussion. Each spark is defined by male or female. When they meet, part of each spark comes together to make a whole new spark. Then, the spark generates itÕs own body within the female where it grows for a while and then comes out a new babybot with a spark from the Matrix! Jenna: How exactly do the sparks join? Cheetor: Each of the parents open up their sparks. This mostly occurs at night, I mean transfussion. But they each must want it to happen. Jenna[feeling awkward]: It isnÕt much different from Human I guess. Only itÕs body parts and body fluids that mix together instead of sparks. I guess a little of our soul gets in there also, though. . . Cheetor: IÕve never felt like this before. When IÕm with you, I feel this uplifting, and this voice inside me urging me to touch you and. . . Jenna[leaning closer to him]: I feel the same way. Ever since I came here, I knew I could depend on you. IÕve never been able to depend on anyone before. YouÕre the first. First for a lot of things, really. The first I could ever talk to, the first first one to ever save my life. . . the first IÕve ever loved. [Slowly, Cheetor puts his arms around Jenna, pulling her closer to him. As his mouth falls upon her own, they share their first kiss, something both of them had been wanting to do for a while. Then Cheetor starts changing. He gets smaller and smoother. In a few seconds, heÕs a tall, hand-some human. Jenna opens her eyes to find herself kissing someone sheÕs never seen before. Jenna: Cheetor? Cheetor: What happened? IÕm human! Did you do this? Jenna: NO! I donÕt know what happened! Cheetor: Wow! IÕm big, and strong ! [He flexs his new muscles] Jenna: And cute! Man! You look awsome, Cheetor! Cheetor: IÕm not a Cheetah anymore so I canÕt be Cheetor. IÕm. . . oh crap! Pick me out a name. Jenna: Raphael. Raphael: Okay, I guess before we were so awesomely interrupted, we were about here. [he kisses her and she pulls him on top of her] Jenna[stopping]: Oh no! What will Optimus say when they get back?! Raphael: Well, thereÕs nothing he can do, right? And right now I donÕt want to do anything but see what this new body can do, and we have twenty-four more hours to see. . . [He lays back down, praying that the next twenty-four hours last forever. . .] .................................................................................................................... **The Un-welcome Twenty-Four Hours Later** [Optimus is standing in the threshold of the base, staring at the two humans in front of him. Everyone else is behind him, words unable to reach their communicators. That is, everyone except Optimus] Optimus: HOW IN THE NAME OF CYBERTRON DID THIS HAPPEN?! Jenna: We donÕt know! I swear! I didnÕt try to do this. . . Optimus: You stay out of this! [Jenna backs down and wants to cry] You two are restricted to your quarters until we find out how to reverse this! Raphael[putting his arm around Jenna]: What if I donÕt want to go back? IÕm happy this way! This way I can be with Jenna! I love her. Optimus: You are going to turn back into a transmetal whether you like it or not! THATÕS AN ORDER! Go to your quarters. [For a minute, Raphael just stands there, holding Jenna. After he sees the fire in OptimusÕs eyes, however, he knows he has to step down] Raphael: Yes sir. [He turns and leaves, leaving Jenna alone with Optimus] Optimus: And you! Stay AWAY from Cheetor! You have been nothing but a nuisance! You and all your race! First you try to destroy us when we first come here! Then one of our men dies saving your kind! Now you deliberately take away one of our best warriors! Jenna: I didnÕt-do-this! And IÕm not responsible for my ancenstorsÕ mistakes, of DinobotÕs death, or of Cheetor! Optimus: DonÕt you dare even speak their names. ItÕs your fault. It would have been better if you never come! [Jenna just stands there. A tear slowly falls down her cheek. She turns away from them, to hide it, but they had already seen it] Jenna[talking but not looking at Optimus]: I am wanted NOWHERE! I was thrown out of Earth4 and now here! Both times just because I didnÕt fit in.[She runs away to her chambers, still crying] Rinox[stepping up to Optimus: WhyÕd you have to go and lose your temper on her! Rattrap: SheÕs right! ItÕs not her fault! IÕm going to go talk to her. You think about how hard enough it is for them without you howlering your chips off at Ôem. [He crawls off towards JennaÕs apartment. When he sees JennaÕs quarters, theyÕre locked and he can hear her crying inside] Rattrap: Jenna! Can I come in? Jenna: Go away! [after a few seconds] IÕm sorry, Rattrap. I just donÕt feel like talking to anyone right now. Rattrap: Oh, come on, Jenna. Think of me as a big brother. I mean, a big brother-in-law, now. [He chuckles at his own joke] Jenna: Thank you Rattrap, but IÕd like to be alone right now. Rattrap: Okay, but if you ever what to talk, just holler! .................................................................................................................... **In his office with Silverbolt and Black Arachnia** Optimus: What was I suppose to say. ItÕs okay? Because itÕs NOT! Silverbolt: Come on, Optimus. IÕm sure itÕs just a fase. HeÕll come out of it in time! Anyways, I see the cercumstances as no different than Black Arachnia and me. We were different, and one of us had to change for us to be together. Remember, you were wrong about us then. Optimus: Black Arachnia was a Predacon; a similiar species, a different frame of mind! Jenna is a different species and a different frame of mind! Black Arachnia: No! Their is no difference! Anyways, I think weÕre all putting our noses where they shouldnÕt belong! This is for Cheetor and Jenna to decide upon. [BA and Silverbolt head towards the door] Silverbolt: If I were you, IÕd be apologizing to two people you know you love right now. [They leave Optimus alone to his thoughts] Optimus: I hate it when theyÕre right. .................................................................................................................... **A few hours later** [Optimus walks towards CheetorÕs chambers. The door is open and no one is inside. He looks inside JennaÕs. The door is also open. On her bed is a note: If we canÕt be together here, then weÕll be together somewhere else. Raphael and Jenna] Optimus: NOOOO! .................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................... So Cheetor has become Raphael and given up his life as a transformer to be with her. Now theyÕre alone on Prehistoric earth, and the Predacons are still searching for Jenna. . . what next?
