READ ME! Okay, just for the records, I DID NOT write this chapter, It was written by Optimus from the CA (Cybertronian Alliance) I couldn't bring myself to see into Rattrap's head, so I got some help. ^__^ THANK YOU Mr. Bananas! So, read on... that is, if anyone is actually reading this fic...o_O...
Part 1, Chapter 3 – Rattrap's POV
~(It's the end, here today, but I will build a new beginning...)~
So dis is it. After all we've been through over de years tagether, well mosta us, we're actually breakin' apart and movin' on. I don't think I really saw dis day comin'. Wait... Did I agree to this? I can't help but pace back an' forth on my wheels as I think about everythin' we all did tagether. And I ain't sure if dis is da right thing ta do. Spots is all right leadin' an' all but I can't help wonderin' if dis would be happening if da Boss Monkey and Big Green were still here. I glare at Cheetor a couple times just thinkin' about de times he messed up, all of our bickering, and how an idea like dis could even cross his mind. Does he even think about de friends we've lost who kept us together dis long? I just wish he wasn't so bossy. It's like it's his way or da highway. Well I seem ta recall a time when we could speak for ourselves and work out our problems as a team like we used ta.
I glance over at de she-spider and 'Bolt as dey bicker on 'bout somethin'; I don't know what but I don't really care either since dey've been doin' it every day now and it kinda gets old. I don't really feel like interruptin' dem for a good-bye. Nightscream looks like a mess, da poor kid. It's gotta be rough to find a crazy group like us and be a part of it, an' den everybody has ta suddenly go off on deir own. I can tell he doesn't like it but I don't think he has ta be so dependent on –dose- two; he really has no idea what dey've been through. If he did, and he was smart, he'd never want 'em as "parents". I'm sure he can live his own life, I mean, he was rebellious when we first met 'im, anyway, and he survived on his own before he found us, so what's de big deal? And dere's Botanica. I look at her, puzzled because I don't know what de heck she's thinkin' about all dis. I guess we didn't have nothin', though, which is okay since she ain't really my type. I think. It's just too awkward now and we shouldn't be uncomfortable like we are. Besides, she has her own plans, I'm betting, an' dey're much too different from mine.
Suddenly, my optics dart over ta Cheets as I notice him approachin' me. I guess dis is it but I don't wanna do it. I mean, I don't wanna never see dese guys again. Dis is too sudden. We can't just let go and forget about each other. No matter what, we'll always be a team 'cause dat's all we know how ta be, and it ain't anybody's fault.
I see his smile when he begins ta talk. "Hey... uh, I guess I just want to say thank you, I mean for putting up with me for all this time," he starts. Yeah, dat's for sure. But he ain't really a bad guy. "You were there from the beginning and you always looked out for me in your own way. So uh, yah, thanks." Wow. Was my caring for him dat obvious? And I almost smirked at my own joke. I return the smile and nod. He's right. I always looked after him, but we all did.
"No problem, Spots," I finally say, "Ya needed lookin' out for, an' I guess in some way I just liked you." I pause for a moment knowin' I needed ta say more. "Well, I'm gonna miss ya, but you just go out dere an' get yerself some good lookin' dame with a good lookin' chest plate, an' have lotsa babies, eh? And make sure you name one after me." I give him a wink and a good slap on his back before I start ta wheel myself away. Then I say, "Well, have a good life, kiddo, an' nice ta know ya." Wow dis stinks. What am I doin'? I should just turn around an' say screw it! I sigh as I know dis ain't da end of de world or nothin', but... it hurts ta leave like dis. It's not like we could all live in de same place, though; dat'd be –too- weird.
While I'm lost in my own thoughts, I'm stopped by Nightscream who blocks my path. "Well, Ratface, I guess this is it." Odd, dat's what I've been thinkin' da whole time. "You'll finally be rid of us," he finished. I could tell he's uneasy which kinda flustered me and what I wanted ta say.
"Look, kid, I'm no good at stuff like dis, but don't think I ain't gonna miss ya," I tell him, "I'll miss everyone, but in some twisted way I guess dis is better." I almost feel like I'm lying to the bat. How was dis better again? Everybody's hurtin'! "I know it's gonna be hard but what hasn't been hard? I guess dis is just one more test we have to live through, but still, it's gonna be weird not thinkin' I'm gonna die at least once a day... Well, now you have me babblin' so I'm just gonna shut up an' assume ya know what I mean."
When I finish I see a strange look on his face but then he nods and says, "Yah, I get it. It's the same thing I've got from everyone I've talked to, and I give up. I'll do what you people say and move on but I'm not making any promises. I mean, I have no idea what I want to be or where I'm going to go." Eh, I feel bad for 'im now; even more dan before. I didn't know what tell him, though. He's still young, an' I know something'll come up for him. Bein' with us can't be de only way ta live.
So, I give him a sad smile as I start to roll off again. "Ya know, kid, you're not alone in dat sense. I don't think any of us know, and I'm not sure any of us ever will."
Hopefully we'll pass one another on da street some day and sit down for a cup of hot oil. I ain't worried, an' it probably shows, but I've been trained ta handle things on my own like dis. ...Except da training didn't really ready me for friends like dese. I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I keep tellin' myself as I drift away from da separating group and start a new journey.
-End
^_^ Wonderful. Now I can move on and finish the rest. And I repeat, I more than likely will not be making a chapter for Botanica, I just don't know what to do for it... so, it may be better this way. She more than likely wont be in the later chapters either, she just didn't seem close enough with the group to have a huge effect on things. So, if anyone has any problems with this, tell me and I'll see what I can do. ^-^ Thanks for reading, and PLEASE REVIEW
