9 – So cus' where ya been?

"This will be your room." Starscream said, showing Alexis in the same room she had used on her stay here. "For some reason, this place seems to just spring up whatever we need for whatever reason."

Suddenly, a keycard materialized out of nowhere in front of Alexis. She cried out in surprise and then took the card, saying, "What's this?"

"Door key." Starscream said. "Well … erm …"

Alexis glanced at the suddenly nervous seeker. He stuttered and stammered for a few minutes, before blurting out, "Do you wanna go out somewhere?"

Alexis clasped her hands together and said, "I'd love to!!"

So the cute couple left the house to go to the movies, and an unexpected visitor showed up on the doorstep of the seeker mansion …

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

"Alright, Alright I'm comin' …" Thundercracker muttered as he went to the door. Skywarp was currently going flying, and left poor TC in charge of the house. Although he was never bored; he had plenty of soaps on videos and DVD's and plenty of girlfriends to chat to.

TC opened the door. Standing there in all of his green and purple glory was Aviator, aka the seekers cousin.

"Hello cus'," Thundercracker greeted him in surprise. He hadn't known that Aviator was in town today.

"Hello Thundercracker!" Aviator greeted cheerfully. "Mind if I stay awhile?"

"Nah, come on in." TC replied and the green seeker entered the house. "I've got plenty of room here as you can plainly see."

Aviator's curious optic band surveyed the area. Indeed, this house was huge!

"So, where's the other two?" Aviator said as TC went over to get some tan brown energon (like tea) and sat down on the couch.

"Other three you mean," TC grumbled. "Starscream's femmefriend is now here."


"Oh, isn't she nice?" Aviator said, his optic band indicating worry.

"Oh yeah, I just need someone to keep an optic on Skywarp … other than me." TC explained. "Starscream used to do that, but I don't think he'll be too interested in doing that so often anymore with her around …"

Aviator stifled a laugh.

"That movie was great!" Alexis said, clasping Starscream's arm.

"It was so sad!" He cried out and buried his optics in his hand, "The little petro rabbit had to be killed! Ohhhhhhh!"

"But the kid got him resurrected!" Alexis said, somewhat reassuringly. She had heard that Starscream got very emotional at movies.

"B – b – b – b – b – but it was still sad!" He whined, sniffling a little more. After he calmed down he checked his internal clock and realized that they had better get home.

"Lets go home." He said, and transformed.

"Yeah … home." Alexis breathed. She was going home.

They entered the house fifteen or so minutes later, and found Thundercracker on the couch relaxing with an unknown green and purple seeker like them. He had the traditional cannons on his shoulders, which they all had, but had a ruby optic band instead of optics. He also had two long thin, single barreled guns attached to his arms.

"Oh, hello." He turned and greeted the surprised couple politely.

"Hi." Starscream said a little confused and then said, "You are …?"

"Your cousin, Aviator." Aviator said standing up and extending a hand.

"Ahh, now I know you!" Starscream said, accepting the hand and as he did, the back door opened and Skywarp stumbled in, swaying around and his optics looking in different directions.

"Skywarp!" TC commanded, "Where have you been?"

"Flyyyyyyying around in ciiiiiiiiiiiiirrclesssssssssss …" He said, his voice full of static.

"Why in the name of Cybertron where you doing that?!" TC said, exasperated as Starscream and Alexis clung to each other in silent laughter.

"Cause you get all diiiiiiiiiiiiizzy and it's coooooooooooool." Skywarp said and fell flat on his face, his optics slowly going offline.

Aviator seemed generally concerned about the black and purple mech and stepped over to him saying, "Hey, are you okay?"

Skywarp immediately sprung up and glared at the green seeker, and said, "Who are you?! Skywarp wants to know!!!"

"Err …" Aviator was openly shocked and confused at the youngest brother's rather erratic mood swings. "Your cousin, Aviator. You know, your brother's creator created me to see if he could out do his brother."

Skywarp then seemed suddenly surprised than angry and said, "Skywarp has a cousin?"

"Er … ya!" he said and then Skywarp became hyper happy, and then proceeded to hug the surprised green seeker, yelling, "Skywarp has a cousin! Skywarp has a cousin!"

Starscream and Alexis were laughing out loud now, unable to contain their mirth any longer. "What I have to deal with now days …" TC groaned.

BIG thanks to Vega Sailor, who not only let me use her character Aviator in our story, but also gave me a handful of ideas for me to use! Hence prompting me to type up this story as well as my fic 'Dark Master'

Well, I've decided what I'm gonna do for the next chapter, but I need some more fan bots or cons (that HAVE to be seekers) to use! So submit your bot and ideas and a review, and the next chapter of this story should progress much faster!

EDIT – MiT has edited this!
