5 – It's all come back to me now

"Okay Starscream! It's almost done!" Alexis said excitedly as the see though transformer stood beside her.

Everyone had cleared out, being lunchtime and all. So now all that were in the room were Alexis and Starscream and –

"I still cannot believe you didn't tell us about him!" Rad said indignantly.

"Do you really think you'd believe me if I did?" Alexis said doggedly.

Starscream flew over to examine his new body on the table, ignoring Rad and Carlos.

"Well…I guess not." Carlos said a little sheepishly.

Alexis nodded her head and turned to the panel on her left. She typed for a little bit and the body lit up.

"Okay, energy transfer is complete! Go for it Starscream!" Alexis shouted and spun to face the body, hoping that everything was going to work out.

Okay…Starscream focused on becoming one with the body, and he felt himself start to glow a bit. He suddenly dived straight into the new body's core.

"Whoa!" Carlos gasped as the body gave off a brilliant light.

The body's glow began to subside. It's finger twitched.

Soon, his hands pushed himself up into a sitting position. He flexed his fingers and moved his upper body around. It was Starscream, the new Starscream.

He looked exactly the same as before, except now his wings had been modified a little. He made his left wing form a katana, but found that it was broader and more powerful than his previous one. This was the reason for the change it seemed.

"Wow…who would have thought that you could draw Alexis?" Carlos said.

Alexis blushed and said, "Starscream? How do you feel?"

He was examining his back when she said that, he turned and said, "You did a really good job! I feel like my old self again!"

Just then, the door burst open and about twenty people came in. They stopped short at the sight of Starscream – who froze.

The two groups stared at one another. And – like dominoes – they all fainted.

All of them, even Starscream, burst out laughing. Alexis did a double take to hear Starscream laugh. It was the first time she had hear him do so…

***

"The only bad part about this is that I can't walk though walls anymore." Starscream said over the radio as He and Alexis headed home. The golden light of a beautiful sunset shone off the chrome body of Starscream as he followed the car below.

What was he to do now? He had his body back. He could simply go home and live a peaceful life somewhat, but no… it didn't feel right somehow. Like there was something he was meant to still do here on the blue planet that only could be done here. But what was it?!

He shook his head mentally. He had plenty of time to think about it and to go home. It wasn't like he was in any hurry…

They arrived at the house. Alexis got out of her car and heard the jet land near by. She walked inside and made a beeline for the kitchen, wanting to get something to eat. The afternoon events seemed to have made her very hungry.

Starscream entered the house with surprisingly no trouble. He looked around and saw Alexis stuff herself. He smiled slightly. He didn't know she had such an appetite.

He made his way up to the bedroom he had found Alexis in the previous night. He sat by the window and thought some more about it.

'Why should I bother about what happens on some mud ball planet?' He thought savagely. 'Why should I care at all?'

The answer to that was simple. He had got his body back (with the exception of carrying 20 or so humans to a bed, having to smash a whole wall to get out and have people shouting it the jet while he made his escape though the hole) with the humans help. He was in dept to them, but he shouldn't care. If they were stupid enough to give him a body, then it was their problem.

But wasn't it his concern for the human Alexis that brang him here in the first place? Hadn't it been his soul excuse to pass though the warp gate and head to earth was to see if she was okay? And wasn't it her idea and her gift to him to give him his new body?

Alexis. Every time her name was mentioned he felt something inside stir slightly inside his spark. It wasn't very big, so it didn't bother him. But now it did…

'Why can't I just be some normal, hateful, war-loving Decepticon without all this crap in my head?!' He shouted in his mind.

He wasn't used to it.

It seemed so foreign that he wanted to punch the wall in anger, but he thought that it might not be wise. But why? Why should he icare?!/i

He griped his head with his fists and attempted to punch himself between his optics, but at that moment a voice rang out though the room.

"My god…I really need to watch my eating habits…"

Starscream's head whipped around as Alexis staggered into the room, holding her belly.

She looked over to him and said, "Hey there! I thought you would be up here."

He didn't say anything.

She took out some P.J's and said, "I'm gonna get changed. I'll be back in a minute."

Again, he didn't answer. She walked out, thinking that he needed some time to himself…

How could she be so nice to him after all the things he had done? What was it that she saw in him that not even he could see?

He looked up towards the newly risen moon. Bright as it was, the light did not reach is cold spark. But it now seemed to be warmer, but only a little. But how, he didn't know…

He made up his mind. He would leave tonight. May he be forever unforgiven, but at least he could get away from all these annoying thoughts.

"I'm back!" Alexis announced as she walked into the room.

Starscream turned his head slightly. Alexis was wearing a long nightdress with a satin dressing gown over it. She looked pretty…

Starscream blinked.

Pretty?!

"Are you okay?" Alexis said, a concerned frown appearing on her face.

"Y-yeah…" Starscream managed to get out. "Just fine…"

"That's good." She said and climbed onto her bed. She knew something iwas/i wrong, but she didn't want to question him. If he wanted her to know, he would tell her.

"Night." She closed her eyes…

Starscream snapped his head up at that one word. It sounded so sad.

"Alexis?" He said, unable to conceal the shock in his words.

She did not reply.

'You are weak…' Megatron's voice echoed though his head. No he wasn't. He didn't care how confused he was at the moment. He got up and walked over to the side of the bed. He sat down with his back against the wall and looked down at the human, feigning sleep.

'Just do it!' His mind screamed at him. 'What harm could it do?'

He reached his hand down and placed his hand over Alexis. She put her arm over his thumb and slept more peacefully.

He smiled. As confused as he was about how he felt about everything, he felt some kind of alliance had formed with his mind and his spark. For some reason, he seemed very tired himself. He shut down…

Little did he know that this night would show a small change for the robot…

***

A blaze of sunlight hit his optics the next morning. He awoke.

And he blinked.

Everything seemed 10 times larger than usual…oh my Primus!

Alexis was woken by a huge scream from the side of her bed.

AN~ Damn! I was hoping to be able to write a long one! Oh well. Sorry if I angered a lot of people by leaving it like this, but hey, I wanted to get a lot of humor for the next chap! And thanks oh so much for the reviews!

A lot of you commented about how much better this was compared to LBAN. Well I have a confession to make - I wrote it after watching the sappiest love movie I have ever seen at 3 am in the morning. Does that explain it? So dont judge me by what you see there folks!

I dont know how well I wrote out Screamer's arguement with himself. Gee it took me 3 hours to write, so I hope it's good enough. Drop me some advice :)

Till next time my faithful readers!
