6 – Sunset's heal

I was sitting on a cliff face, staring over the sea. It was bad for a mechs health due to the salt to be out here, but the wind was not coming from the ocean, but the opposite way. While I watched, my seeker was sitting beside me, also enjoying the view.

"I remember you used to love your sunsets … on all those planets." I said. He smiled, his optics closed.

"You know, this sun is a G2 V star. Said to be of average size by the humans …"

As I prattled on, I was not aware that Starscream had stood up, and started to make a funny sound. I think humans would name it purring, but how he did it, I did not know.

"…Its about 1,292,000 kilometres across too. Man, it is strange to have such a small star when ours was twice the size of it-"

Suddenly, Starscream nuzzled his head under my chin with a loud purr, and I stopped talking. Suddenly, I became aware that this was just like what he did when we were back at the library on so many occasions. But it didn't explain his purr.

"How? …" I murmured, as he rested his head under my chin, but he didn't seem to want to explain.

"Do shut up, Skyfire." He said. "I was enjoying the sunset."

I couldn't help but chuckle at him. He glared at me, but it was a playful glare.

"Explain how you can make that noise." I said with a grin.

"Well …" He began, leaning against me for fun, it seemed. I had my arm around his back, unused to his new Earthen design. "Its like my jet motors are on standby, and I make the sound in time with my breathing. Makes it sound like a purr. TC and Skywarp can do it as well, I found out. Heh, Scavenger thought it was cute when he heard me purr while sleep. I would have slaughtered him if I had of been awake enough."

"I think it's cute." I said, and laughed as starscream tackled me with a yell of anger.

"I am not cute!" He snarled, but I knew he would not hurt me.

I grabbed his torso area, and hit a certain spot that I knew about. He was very ticklish there, I knew, and soon he was laughing with tears streaming out of his optics. I sat up and placed him on my lap like a child, and would not let go.

"Skyfire - get - off - me!" He hissed, struggling, but then giving up soon enough. I let him go and he instantly turned around. He didn't say anything except look sulkily at me, and I grinned at him. He grinned back, slowly, before hitting my spot. I burst out laughing as Starscream tickled me with a malicious grin on his face.

"Okay, okay! I give up!" I cried out. He stopped, and then curled up against me, like he had before. Of course, he was much bigger now, but still able to as I was much larger than most transformers. I was made that way so I could carry out my role as an Air Guardian.

"Seeker," I murmured, as he looked up at me. "One day, when this war is all over, would you like to come back with me?"

Starscream smiled, and suddenly I remembered that handsome mech I knew before we departed on our journeys.

"Sure."

VIDEO UPLOAD COMPLETE

UPLOAD ANOTHER?

No. That is enough. They will know now …

"Computer, archive all video files"

FILES ARCHIVED

I pray that these video will not fall into the wrong hands.

I left the media room, leaving my six files behind …

Starscream looked over at his PC as the e-mail sign beeped.

There was no message, just an attachment.

It was titled: 'Memories of Old: You and I"

The seeker smiled, and played them.

"I remember that promise …"

The End!

I hope you enjoyed it.
