"SKYWARP!" Starscreams voice echoed throughout the hallway, as he stormed towards the purple seeker, drenched helm to pede in pink paint.
The purple seeker almost lubricating himself laughing as the tri-colour (or more like pink at the moment) seeker stalked towards him. "Hahaha, you should see yourself Starscream" he laughed, causing the other to growl.
"You won't be laughing when I'm done with you" the 'pink' seeker yelled, as he leaped towards the other.
Skywarp quickly warped out of harms way, reappearing behind the femme. "Hey, don't bring me into this" the femme said, bringing her servos up in a sign of surrender. "I swear I had nothing to do with this" she finished, trying to step away from the purple seeker.
Starscream tried to reach around the femme, but Skywarp moved further behind her. "Get out from behind the femme Skywarp, and face me like a mech" he said, servos going to his hips.
Anything else he had to say was interrupted by the chuckle from the Decepticon leader. "Oh Starscream" he started, clearly trying to hold in a laugh. "You look… Cute" he said, as he walked past the smaller mech, chuckling as he went. "But please go get yourself cleaned up. You have duties to attend to" the silver mech finished, as he continued up the hallway.
"This had better wash off" the tri-coloured seeker grumbled, as he headed towards his quarters.
Skywarp giggled madly as he watched the other walk away, still dripping pink paint along the way. "That was priceless" he said, before turning to the femme. "We could get Soundwave next" he finished.
"As much fun as that sounds" the femme started, heading in the direction of the rec room. "I believe energon calls" she announced, tanks groaning in hunger.
"Aw. You're no fun" the other said, following close behind.
The rec room was once again full by the time the two got there. Most of the cons taking a lunch break at about the same time each day. "I'll grab the energon" the purple seeker said, as he headed for the energon dispensers.
Firewing headed for a spare table she had seen when she came in. Sitting down she waited for Skywarp with the energon. As she waited, a larger multi-coloured seeker approached the table. "Hello Firewing" he said, as he sat opposite the femme.
"Hello Nacelle" the femme answered. "I'm guessing you're my next guardian?" she asked, although pretty much knowing the answer.
"That's correct" he answered.
Suddenly Skywarp appeared beside her with two energon cubes. "Here you go" he said, putting one just in front of the femme.
"I really wish you wouldn't do that" Firewing said, having still not gotten used to Skywarps ability.
"But it's fun" the purple mech answered, taking a sip from his cube.
Nacelle chuckled at this response, causing the femme to glare daggers at him. "You get used to it" he started, taking a moment to compose himself "eventually".
Firewing huffed as she quickly downed her energon cube. "I'm sure I will" she muttered, before getting up to dispose of the now empty cube. "Anyway, thank you Skywarp" she said, turning back to face the two seekers. "I wanna say it's been fun" she said, causing Nacelle to chuckle again.
"Anytime sweetness" the purple seeker said, disposing of his cube. "Later" he said, before suddenly disappearing.
"I seriously hate when he does that" the femme grumbled.
"We all do. But you learn to live with it" the multi-coloured seeker said, rising from his chair. "Where to?" he asked.
Firewing thought hard for a moment, she knew what she wanted, but wasn't sure how to ask. "I…" she suddenly looked nervous, causing the other to worry.
"What is it?" he asked, stepping closer to her, worry all over his face plates.
Firewing wasn't sure if she should ask, or even if they would let her. She was after all, still an Autobot on the Decepticon base. "It's just been quite some time since I've flown" she finally announced.
Nacelle understood perfectly. "Let me contact Starscream" he said, before taking a few steps away from her. He appeared to be conversing with someone for a few moments, before finally turning back. "Starscream said that as long as we have your word you won't try anything… He is happy for me to take you out for a flight" Nacelle said.
Firewing lit up. She had not expected that, but was ecstatic that they had agreed. "Even if I wanted to, I don't think I'd get very far" she announced, causing the other to nod.
"Ok. I'll show you the flight deck" the larger seeker announced, offering her his arm. "Shall we miss?"
Firewing almost blushed as she looped her arm around his. She loved how open, honest and courteous the Decepticons could be. It was a refreshing change from what she was used to. While they walked, she let her processor wander. She couldn't help but think how wrong the Autobots were about the Cons. Could this be why she always felt out of place with the Autobots? Was this where she was meant to be?
Her thoughts were interrupted as Nacelle said, "here we are femme" he opened a door to reveal a long runway leading to the outside world. "This is our flight deck".
She looked at and saw the sky first the first time in at least two weeks. She had almost forgotten how beautiful it was.
