~^*^~ Chapter 19: Under the Mistletoe; Part II ~^*^~
Caitlin woke up to the feel of someone poking her side. "Leave me alone." she grumbled and turned around. That's when she realised it. Jumping out of bed, she shocked the two girls that had tried nearly everthing to wake the girl that was still sound asleep.
"Jeez, don't do that!" Shadowlocks cried as she clutched her heart. She was fully changed in a new outfit today. Black jeans with a long sleeved red blouse. Her hair was up in a high pony-tail but she still wore the black sneakers.
Dawn was half dressed. She had her long sleeved white blouse on but her pink pyjama pants and slippers. "They're going to be here in fifteen minutes. We tried waking you up, but you still didn't get up." Dawn said as she burshed her hair hurridly and watched as Caitlin ran around the room grabbing various items and dashing inside the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later Caitlin reappeared wearing a black blouse and black jeans with a pair of black boots. "You made breakfast?" she asked as Dawn set the table with ten sets of plates.
"Yeah. Why? is there a problem?" Dawn asked as there came a knock on the door. Jumping up, she raced to the door and opened it to find the guys. "Come in." she smiled and they stepped inside the warm room, taking off their coats and scarfs.
Each of guys were holding armfuls of boxes or other misshapen objects. "Merry Christmas!" they all said as they placed the presents under the tree and sat down at the table.
For the rest of the morning they only talked and had breakfast until it was time to open the presents. Optimus handed an envelope to Dawn. "Merry Christmas Dawn." Optimus smiled as a clueless face grew on Dawn's face.
Slowly sliding her fingers under the corner of the envelope,she ripped it open and found a ticket to a certain ballet that she hadn't seen in over seven years. "Oh, Optimus." she said as she flung her arms around Optimus' shoulders and hugged him.
Everybody stopped their talking and watched as Optimus hugged Dawn back. "Awe, isn't that sweet." Hot Shot gushed comically as everyone laughed out loud.
"Thank you so much Optimus." Dawn said blushing as she pulled away from Optimus and glared at anyone who was still laughing and looking at them. "You don't know how much this means to me." She said as she hugged him again quickly.
"Dawn, it's alright. You told me how much you wanted to go and see the ballet again, so I just though it would be the perfect Christmas present. And also because I wanted to see it in real life." Optimus said sheepishly as he placed a hand at the back of his head and laughed nervously.
Dawn smiled as kissed his cheek, making him stop laughing and touch his cheek. "Thankyou Optimus. Here, Merry Christmas." she said as she turned a crimson colour handed Optimus a square shaped present.
Upon opening it, he found a complete set of the Lord of the Rings set and a Moby Dick book. "Wow. Thankyou Dawn." he said as he hugged her and went on with giving everyone else their presents.
~*~
"Merry Christmas Red Alert." Caitlin said as she handed Red Alert a book with a large red bow on the front.
It was a book on the human anatomy. "Wow. I think." he said as he opened the book and started reading.
"Hey! Where's my present?" Caitlin pounted as she sat down next to Red Alert and poked him in the shoulder.
"Yeah, hold on." He said, seemingly interested in the contense of the book he had just received.
Caitlin stood up and turned to go over to Optimus to find out what he had given her for her present but was stopped when a hand grabbed her arm. "Where are you going. I was only joking." Red Alert said smiling.
Caitlin nearly melted from his smile. Shaking her head, she pouted comically at him. "I want my Christmas present." she said as Red Alert laughed.
"Oh alright." he sighed in defeat as he seemed to scoup something up from a box. "But first, close your eyes." He said as Caitlin sighed and closed her eyes and waited until something soft, warm and furry ended up in her arms. Without being told to, she opened her eyes and yelped out in joy.
"A KITTEN!!!" she screamed out as she held the black and white cat out infront of her and then hugged it gently.
Red Alert smiled but was then literally tackled by Caitlin as she hugged in a footballers tackle. "Thank you so much Red. I love her!" she yelled as Red Alert seemed to smile contentedly and returned the hug.
"Thought you'd like it." He said as Caitlin pulled out of the hug and looked at the little kitten that was now resting in her lap. "What are you going to call her?" he asked as he sat down next to Caitlin.
"Maybe Ash. Yeah, Ash is a cute name for her." Caitlin said as she begun to stroke the kittens fur.
~*~
Shadowlocks finished stuffing her mouth and turned to Star Scream. "Merry Christmas." she said somewhat shyly as she handed the former seeker with a small box.
Star Scream gingerly took it. Beside the kids, this was his first present he had ever gotton from the one person that he had ever felt feelings for. "Uh, thankyou." He said as he opened the box and found a picture frame with a single picture in it.
The picture was itself was of himself, Shadowlocks, Optimus, Hot Shot and the Transformer version of Dawn; Terabyte. They were on Cybertron celebrating the completion of the two younger mechs from the Nikkitcon Academy on Zontronk, a year before.
There he was, smiling as if the world depended on it and there was Shadowlocks, arms around his waist as his arms were wrapped around her shoulders. To be truthful, they looked quite a couple.
"Sorry, it's the only one I could find that had both of us in it." Shadowlocks said sheepishly as she looked at the ground.
Star Scream was taken back by her sudden show of emotion. All she even did to him was either A) beat him up, B) verbally abuse him, or C) critisise his tactics. But this was something more and he knew then that she was only trying to show her affection in a way that she would not feel rejected. He was stuck for words. He longed to say the three words that he had wanted to tell her, but he just couldn't say them now, not infront of everyone. "I love it. Thank you Shadow." Star Scream said as the words seemed to roll off of his tongue.
He was never one to be emotional, but at the moment, he was having a hard time controlling them.
"That's alright." Shadowlocks said as she smiled as stood up, ready to get a drink.
"Wait, Shadow. Are you going to the party tonight?" Star Scream said suddenly as Shadowlocks turned around and nearly tripped on the coffee table if it wasn't for Star Scream sticking out his hand and grabbing her arm to stop her from falling.
"Yeah." Shadowlocks said as she righted herself.
"Good. I'll pick you up infront of your dorm at ten to ten. I need to tell you something." Star Scream said as he turned around and walked towards the group that had converged to the cloak rack.
~*~
Caitlin, Shadowlocks and Dawn all took off their pelisse cloaks that they had received from Blurr.
They had made it to the indoor ice-rink and were surprised to see that it was near empty. "Wow. I would have thought that there would be more people than this." Caitlin said as she slid out onto the ice.
Dawn went next and seemed to glide over the smooth surface. "How can you do that?" Shadowlocks said as she fell on her aft.
Dawn giggled. "It's just like riding a bike. Once you know how to ride, you can't forget." Dawn smiled as she pirouetted but lost her balance and she too fell on her aft.
Their little group fell into a roaring fit and Optimus skated wobbily by her side. Giving her a hand up, she manged to pull him down with her, sending the only now recovering team into another bout of hysterics.
There they learned how to ice skate, with many collisions between the people who found it difficult. That catagory was dominated mostly by Blurr and Sideswipe, who really liked the rink barrier. Then came Jet Fire, Star Scream, Shadowlocks and Red Alert in that order.
Speaking of the devil, Red Alert was holding onto Caitlins hand as she showed him how to glide on the ice when she heard the one thing from Red Alert that she didn't want to hear. "LOOK OUT FOR THE RAILING!!!" he yelled out but was too late that they went head over heals over the barrier.
There they lay, laughing silently and holding each other to try and stop laughing.
Caitlin lifted herself up on her elbows and looked down at Red Alert. He had stopped laughing and was watching her with something shinning in his eyes. That made Caitlins hiccups of laughter stop and she slowly inched her head lower, and lower, until she could feel Red Alert's minty breath on her lips. "Red, I don't. . ." she started but closed her eyes and felt his lips meet hers in a flurry of speed and passion.
~*~
Dawn looked over the rink and sighed. "Where have those two gone?" she asked as Optimus brought her down yet again.
"Where, have, who, gone?" Optimus said breathlessly as he lye there and rested in the cold surface of the ice.
"Red Alert and Caitlin." Dawn said as she sat up and skated in a circle.
Optimus sat up and just saw in a reflection from a steel surface above the kissing couple of what they were doing. "Red Alert you old dog." Optimus said as he pulled Dawn away from that very area that she was heading for.
"What are you doing?" Dawn asked as Optimus skated perfectly over to the first step and climbed up and pulled Dawn after him.
"They might have gone to get a drink?" Optimus suggested as he looked behind him and smiled, they were right for each other.
~*~
Caitlin reluctantly pulled away from Red Alert. She needed air, but she already missed the feel of Red Alert's lips on hers. She lay there gasping. Gingerly she liftered her hand to her lipsand gently touched them.
A smile played on Red Alerts lips and he turned to Caitlin.
Caitlin looked into his eyes and she felt the same feeling as when she kissed Red Alert. Leaning up to kiss him again, she suddenly stopped and sat up. "I'm sorry, I just can't, I've got to go." she said hurridly as she stood up and climbed back over the railing ad skated over to the entrance.
Red Alert followed her but tripped once or twice and lost her.
Upon reaching the indoor cafe area he found the group, but not Caitlin. "Where's Caitlin?" he asked as he sat down.
"She needed to do something." Dawn said as she looked at Red Alert pointedly as if she knew some kind of secret.
"Oh." Red Alert said, disappointment filling his being.
On the far side of the booth was Optimus, engaged in a delibourating talk with Blurr about the densitites of pond or something, his 'all-knowing' smile on his face.
