Danni was slightly board. Not that it wasn't fun hanging out with Smokescreen, he was after all on of her favorite characters. But man, driving around a deserted area kinda stunk. So to pass the time she thought about things. She hadn't realized until after a moment that some of them were about Jetfire. Smokescreen obviously didn't like silence. Well she didn't either, but to her it meant safety, well it did till now.

"What would you like to listen too?" Came his curious question.

"Huh? Listen too? You mean on the radio?" Came her confused response.

"Ya you like rock or somthing?" He sounded wary. I wonder why?

"I like all kinds, new age country's nice.." Danni trailed of embarresed. Suddenly a local new age country station played on his radio.

"Cranes have radios?" Danni wondered absoultly baffaled.

"Not usaully, I'm a special crane" Smokescreen teased. Danni smirked.

"No doubting that!" She listened to a song the just came on.

"Oh hey cool!" Danni couldn't believe it. They had songs from her dimension!

Smokescreen started singing to the song that came on then. He had a pretty good voice, Danni noted.

{Queen of the night, life of the party
It's all an illusion
You can't hide that big of heartache
So stop the delusion

Waiting for someone's rescue my arms are right here for you

Through the wind and the rain through the laughter and pain count on me
And when life isn't fair and there's nobody there I will be
In a world of pretenders I am your defender
And when it all comes down ill be the last one standing

Aces for life don't ever doubt it I'm already falling
Love is alive so stand up and shout it cause destiny's calling
The others stand behind me they don't look nothing like me

Through the wind and the rain through the laughter and pain count on me
And when life isn't fair and there's nobody there, I will be
In a world of pretenders I am your defender
And when it all comes down ill be the last one standing

Waiting for someone's rescue my arms are right here for you

Through the wind and the rain through the laughter and pain count on me (count on me)
And when life isn't fair and there's nobody there I will be (I will be)
In a world of pretenders Ill never surrender
And when it all comes down, yeah when it all comes down
Ill be the last one standing}

He laughed as the song ended. Danni grinned clapping. Long Arm waved at Danni from his perch on Smokescreens crane arm, goofing off. He was clapping for Smokescreen too.

"Bravo!" Danni complimented.

"Aw shucks, now I'm shy!" Smokescreen laughed, Danni smirked.

"Don't tell anyone I sang 'k? I'd never live it down!" He added. Danni nodded, she shyly noted a song that was coming on was female, a song she knew. If there was one thing her mother liked about her it was the art she made and her voice. Okay that was two, but who's counting?

As the song came on Danni sang with it, Smokescreen and Long Arm sat stunned, listening.

{I used to live in a darkened room
Had a face of stone
And a heart of gloom
Lost my hope, I was so far gone
Cryin all my tears
With the curtains drawn
I didn't know until my soul broke free
I've got these angels watching over me, yeah}

Danni sang, remembering how much she liked to sing this song, it didn't really show of her vocals, but it let them know she could sing. She was going to stop till she was encourgaed.

"Oh don't stop! Keep going!" Smokescreen begged Danni shrugged continuing.

{Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl}

As there was a quick pause it became apparent they were heading back to base. Danni knew the song would end before they got there so she continued to make Smokescreen and Long Arm happy.

{I used to hide in a party crowd
Bottled up inside
Feeling so left out
Standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes
With my frozen smile
And my lighted fuse
Now everytime I start to feel like that
I roll out my heart like a welcome mat}

{Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl}

{Laugh when I feel like it
Cry when I feel like it
That's just how my life is
That's how it goes}

{Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
And I've come to know
That the world won't change
Just 'cause I complain
Let the axis twirl
I'm a happy girl}

{Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl
Oh,yeah oh,yeah
I'm a happy girl}

Danni finished singing, catching her breath slightly because it had a kind of speedy tempo. Smokescreen whistled and Long arm waved to her, then clapped from his odd perch. Danni lightly noticed this.

"I hope me coming didn't make him move.." Smokescreen caught on.

"On no, don't worry, thats where he always sits actualy." Danni gave him and Long Arm a weird look.

"What?" Danni just shook her head. Long Arm obviously laughing. As they pulled in the base Danni got out and Long Arm stood next to her as Smokescreen transformed.

"Okay you two lets go!" Walking towards the Med. Bay. Danni faltered. Quickly she found another vent. 'Surly they won't think I'd hide back in one!' Getting in before Long Arm or poor Smokescreen noticed, she was barely there a minute when Jetfire andRed Alert's yells and Smokescreens laughs caught her ears.

"You little she devil! I should've known you'd hide from the Med. Bay!" Smokescreen laughed.

"Oh she's in for it.." Jetfire growled. Walking around, he passed right by her vent.

'Heheh' Danni mentally snickered. Freezing when he came back. Could he sense?

"Danni, you didn't.."He peered closer, trying not to laugh.

"You did! What is it with you and vents?!" He exclaimed. Dani backpeddled far enough so he was just unable to catch her.

"Dangit Danni!" He snarled pulling his arm out as Danni looked at him evilly.

"Promise my freedom I will come out!" Danni called. Jetfire sputtered as Red Alert came forward.

"I was going to relase you anyways today Danni, walking won't hurt you, so come out." Red Alert sighed, trying not to laugh at her calculating expression. She came forward to try to read his face when suddenly Jetfire reached in and nabbed her.

"Dangit!" Dann yelped struggling.

"We are putting a bell on you..." Jetfire hissed lifting her to be eye level with him. She gave him a cutie face.

"But bells are bad! They make noise!" Came her whine. All she recieved for that was a couple of snickers and a unimpressed face from her target.

"Fine then, touch'e aren't you" Danni pouted, Jetfire had to ruin her fun. Obviously Jetfire had a weakness to puppy eyes. He sighed using his right index finger, as he held her in his left hand, rubbed her head. Danni smiled letting him.

"You are going to make me turn gray.." He sighed. Danni grinned. He set her down so she could go explore her new found freedom.

"Kewl I get to see this room I never got to see" Pointed look at Jetfire who smacks his forhead for his forgetfulness. Danni walked towards her room. But as she turned a corner she had to have the last parting shot.

"I'M FREE!! I'M FREE! BWHAHAHA!" Then she ran, Jetfire hot on her heels both were laughing.

I think this chap was ok. The next chap picks up right from here.
