Me: You think your head hurts? I tripped in gym, skinned my left knee, and when walking up the stairs I bruised my left when I fell up them! And the gym floor was just polished so it was sticky and gave me a headache!(2/27/06)
Hotshot: Uh… MajesticBurn doesn't own Transformers just her characters and is using her friend DeathScythe119's character.
Optimus: Let me out of the box? I-I'm clostrophobic. Please?
Me: Shut-up! This is gonna set the stage for a super sad next chapter! So shut-it and let the nice people read!
Optimus: Out?
Not who you think I am
Back to Normal?
"Red? You can't turn Ariel back yet." Alexis was sitting next to the snoozing Ariel Pax, they were in the med bay, and Red Alert was forced to look up from the antidote he was almost finished with.
"Why would that be Alexis?"
"Because of the pains she's been having in her abdomen; I think she's about to start menstruation, and I don't think that that would be a good idea to turn her back while that's going on."
"True, I suppose it'll be alright if she stays human a few days longer than Hotshot an I; but we might need to run it by her before-"
Alexis shook Ariel to wake her up, "Just a little longer… I'll get up eventually…"
"Ariel, we need to talk to you." Alexis murmured.
Ariel groggily opened her eyes, "What?"
"Ariel, Hotshot and I are going to return to normal a few days before you do because you-"
"What! Red, being human is fun and all but I wanna be back to normal!"
"Calm down; it's merely because of the human feminine cycle-"
"I don't care! I wanna get back to normal! Please let me go back to normal when you guys do! Please Reddy!"
Red raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you alright Ariel?"
"Yeah… just… I don't know…"
"That's one of the first symptoms of it; mood swings. You should really relax, and just let Red do his job." Alexis smoothed.
"But I don't wanna!" she pouted, kicking one of the machines.
"Cool it Ariel." Destiny's voice whispered to the three people in the medical bay.
"Sorry." Ariel whispered, "I don't know what made me yell like that…"
"I'm telling ya, it's the female thingy."
"Why don't you have it Alexis?"
"I will soon enough, and believe me I'm not looking foreword to it."
Red cleared his throat, "Alexis, are there any other… side effects we should be wary of?"
"Well, cramps, irritable, craving greasy foods, bleeding-"
"Bleeding?" Ariel cried.
"Y-yeah… from… uh… the uh… private area…"
"What! You mean that's normal!" Ariel whined.
"You mean it started already?" Red Alert said in concern.
"Y-yeah… it started two days ago."
"Well that's good! You've only got five more days left."
"Great…"
Within two days the antidote was ready, and he injected Hotshot and himself, as well as injecting their clothes at the same moment so that they would turn back into armor along with them. And in order to have Red Alert injected he had to have Ariel Pax inject him, and she didn't exactly like it.
"Oh no! I made you bleed! I'm so sorry!"
"Ariel, that's supposed to happen." He reassured her.
"I don't think it was okay that I hurt you. I'm so-"
"Ariel, go rest. Now."
"You just don't want me to see how painful the transformation is." She growled as she left.
"That too." Red Alert whispered as she left.
Ariel curled up in Red Alert's lap, she was still human, and would be until the next day. He on the other hand was already back to normal, and had just regained conciousness from the transformation that day. Red Alert was trying to be as gentle as possibe with her, she was flesh still, and he was absolutely stricken that he'd harm her. "Ariel, please; you should sleep before your transformation. Maybe then you'll spend less time in shut-down than Hotshot and I did."
"But I'm not tired Reddy! Can't I at least sleep in your berth with you?"
"No. Ariel I might hurt you if you try that!"
"But Reddy... Pwease?"
"No. I'm not going to risk your safety for anything; I love you too much for that."
"Fine Reddy. I love you too. And I can't wait to be Cybertronian Again! Then we can... carefully tell Optimus, and thenwe can... Uh... Oh whatever! So long as we finally tell him!"
Red Alert couldn't help but chuckle. "Plus I have a suprise for you after we tell him."
"Suprise? What is it? Common! Tell me!"
He shook his head, "If I told you then it wouldn't be a suprise now would it?"
She stuck out her tongue, "Meanie."
Ariel bit her lip, she couldn't believe that next time she was concious she'd be back to normal. Red Alert had to have Alexis inject Ariel with the serum. She cried, she clearly hated needles and it hurt her. And that knowledge hurt Red. And it wasn't long before she fell unconcious for the transformation.
When she finally awoke, Red Alert was checking her systems. "Reddy? Where's Optimus and the others?" She whispered dazidly.
"They left. A mini-con plate finally activated. Hotshot's the only one still here. Besidesus and the kids." Ariel wraped her arms around his neck, glad to be about the same size as him again.
"Red Alert! We have a situation!" Hotshot's voice came over the com-link.
"What is it Hotshot?" Red Alert answered, noticing the worry in his voice.
"It's Lightning; Red. He's been hurt reallybad... From how bad he got hit... I don't know if even you can save him..."
"Lightning! Red you've got to help him!"
"I'll try Ariel, just remain calm."
The team brought Lightning back in bad shape, mech fluid dripped from all his parts, his metal shreded and mis-shapen. And there was nothing Red Alert could do for him. Ariel wouldn't stop crying.She couldn't. Her best friend was dying, and there was nothing the best medicin all of Cybertron could do to stop it.
His optics were shattered, his spark diming, but he still knew Ariel needed him, "I should've litsened to them,"
"Who Lightning? Who should you've litsen to?" She choaked.
"The ones that told me to go, to go with them. One day they'll come to you too. Remember; they just want you to be safe. Remember that when they ask you."
"Lightning, what are you talking about? Lightning, why are you talking like you're not gonna make it?"
"Because I'm not. I want you to be alright."
"Lightning, please!"
He reached out his hand, grabbing hers kindly, "Be careful sis, see you when you join the matrix."
To be continued...
There. Done. Chappie all done.
