Wha! What! Don't you people like ch4! Oh wait… I posted it at the same time as ch5… that might have something to do with that… I'm using DeathScythe at DeathScythe119's request. I want Galaxy Force… Blah-blah-blah… Yak-yak-yak… Enjoy!
Not who you think I am
DeathScythe
"I'm telling you, this is a bad idea! Ariel Common! You know she doesn't like organics!"
"Oh chill Lightning! She's a good warrior, and so long as no one ticks her off, she'll follow orders just fine."
"Didn't last time I checked she had a crush on Optimus?"
Ariel gave Lightning a disgusted look, "Oh please, at the academy, no matter when I was there, there was always at least seven or eight femmes of just about any age that had crushes on him; there were even some I met as their teacher! Trust me, that won't be a major problem."
The kids, 'bots, and even the Minicons were staring at whoever was stating their side of the argument, looking back and forth between them, Ariel's cheeks were turning red from yelling, and was clearly tired. Smokescreen decided to try his hand at being the peacekeeper. "Now everyone calm down; I'm sure that we can come to some sort of compromise…"
Lightning and Ariel locked eyes and optics, "No!"
Hotshot shook his head, "How in the name of Primus did you two become best friends?"
"I don't know." Ariel said coolly, "Just all of a sudden one day at the academy… my life was over!" She stormed off, not caring that she'd just made a seen in front of the entire base.
Alexis shook her head, and moved to follow her, "You guys have supercomputers as brains; but you haven't figured out yet that it's a bad idea to make a female mad?"
—
"Ariel? Ariel what's wrong? Lightning should stop being a jerk eventually. Ariel?" Alexis placed a hand on Ariel's shoulder, Ariel was curled up on her berth, hugging her lower stomach. "Are you okay Ariel?"
"Yeah, just a little pain is all, and my head kinda hurts…"
"Does light and loud noise make your head hurt too?"
"Kinda."
"I'll be right back with an aspirin; you have either a migraine, or appendicitis, and I doubt that you have appendicitis. Especially considering that you're hugging the wrong area… Hold on… we studied something about this in health class… Uh… Can you make it to the lab? I'll go get Red Alert."
—
"What- what's wrong with me Reddy?" Ariel Pax bit her lip nervously, she was scared.
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. You're going through something called what was it Alexis?" Red Alert turned to Alexis, trying to remember her exact words.
"Ovulation, all girls go through it eventually; usually starts between 12 and 18. And since you're human for the first time it's starting now. The pain'll go away by tomorrow, but in a few weeks it'll turn sour for a week, and then you'll be fine. Just something human females go through; fortunately for you, you might be back to normal before then."
"Oh… so I'm fine then?"
"Yep."
"But what's the purpose?"
"Well, when it starts it represents when she is, physically speaking anyway, able to have children." Alexis said uncomfortably.
"Uh… oh… Okay…" Ariel glanced at Red Alert uncomfortably, wondering if her was thinking the same thing as her; was Alexis going to ask the 1 question no 'bot wanted to answer?
"Hey Red? You told us kids that schematics of two Autobots can be merged to make a sparkling… but how exactly do the schematics merge?"
"Uh… Well… eh-hem… Alexis you see… um… I… um…"
"It's a process called interfacing; there are different types of ports on male and female Autobots; and when the ports link up there is a chance a spark will be created." Ariel said stiffly, trying to say it as couth as possible.
"Oh… Okay…"
Red Alert shook his head, and turned toward the desk, "I'm getting back to work. This serum isn't going to find a cure for itself."
"I guess I'll be leaving you two alone…" Alexis teased, walking out the door; dodging a rubber band Ariel flicked at her.

It was about two weeks before DeathScythe arrived from Cybertron. She was dark purple and black, and transformed into a dragon. The moment she arrived she snorted at Lightning, "I can't believe you're still allowed to walk the face of the universe; you'd think someone would've killed you by now."
"Shut it lizard girl."
"Where's Ariel anyway?"
"I'm down here."
When DeathScythe glanced down at her she gave a mocking laugh, "Yeah; sure. Where's Ariel?"
"Scythe; It's me. The Decepti-slaggers injected three of us 'bots with a serum that rearranged our molecular structure into organics; Red Alert is trying to find an antidote but-"
"Okay; yawn, really bored now. Wait; did you say Red Alert? As in the best medic on Cybertron Red Alert?"
"No, Red Alert as in the worst medic on Cybertron; of course that Red Alert!" Ariel snapped.
"Oh yeah; you are defiantly Paxalon. One minute you're nice, the next; psycho-bi-"
"Okay! Everyone calm down. I suggest a nice calming… something…" Smokescreen attempted once more to create peace.
And once again he failed, "Shut it Smoky. This doesn't involve a moron like you." Ariel snapped at him.
"Calm down Ariel. You're human now remember. Don't do something stupid and get yourself hurt." Red Alert warned, giving Ariel a stern look.
"Ulck. You sound like Optimus." He rolled his eyes at her, as she stuck her tongue out at him.
Then DeathScythe noticed Optimus, "Hey… The only mech in history to get hotter with age…" Optimus took a step away; this femme creeped him out.
Making Ariel steam, "What in the name of Primus did wrong with you! He's my secondary creator, a military officer, and he's bonded! What's wrong with your processors?"
"Oh common! If he wasn't you're creator you'd think he was hot too."
Ariel's face turned absolutely green; and she covered her mouth with her hand, "Gross… I feel so sick right now…" Red Alert patted her on the shoulder; he didn't want to show too much affection with Optimus in the room, but he wanted her to feel better.
"Perhaps you should sit down. You need to calm down." Red looked to DeathScythe, "And you need to stop disgusting her."
"Oh please. When do the battles start?"
Ariel rolled her eyes, she was gripping Red Alert's arm for support; she still felt disgusted. "Can I go to bed now Optimus? I so need a break; and I remember! Shesh, did ya think I didn't notice the extra recharge bunk? Bleh. Goodnight."
To be continued…
I know; I know. Short. But I didn't want to start what was gonna happen next, mostly because this was just a wee bit longer than I thought. Oh; and if you REALLY hate fluff, and implications of bad things; DON'T READ THE CHAPTERS TO COME! You have been warned. RnR if you'd like.
