Lockdown
I watched that scene play out in front of me, and then I let my anger, annoyance, and everything out. He didn't deserve to be treated the way I'd been treating him. I actually felt bad for the little guy. So I came over to Shadow and Wreck-Gar and did something my old Bounty Hunter nature never would've permitted: I hugged them both. Yes, both of them, don't judge me.
"Thanks guys" Wreck-Gar was feeling a lot better after that, "Does that mean we're friends now?".
"Sure" I guessed it was okay to consider him my friend.
We went back inside, all happy to be rid of the drama. It was Alexis and Starscream who had taken up mics and just about to sing, Oh Primus, The Start of Something New from High School Musical. Primus, I hate that movie!
It was Starscream who started it all out. Strange, he was social when he was around her. I personally thought he liked her, but that was just my opinion.
"Livin' in my own world. Didn't understand, that anything can happen, when you take a chance".
Alexis took up her part without hesitation.
"I never believed in, what I couldn't see. I never opened my heart…".
"Oh".
"To all the possibilities".
"I know-".
"That something has changed".
"Never felt this way".
"And right here tonight-".
"This could be the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you, oh. And now, looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart, the start of something new".
"Now who would ever thought that we'd both be here tonight".
"And the world looks so much brighter with you by my side".
"By my side!".
"I know, that something has changed. Never felt this way. I know it for real, this could be the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you, oh. And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart…".
"The start of something new".
"I never knew that it could happen 'til it happened to me. Whoa, yeah".
"I didn't know it before, but now it's easy to see".
"It's the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you, oh. And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart that it's the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you. And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart…".
"The start of something new".
"The start of something new".
"The start of something new".
I think we all felt the start of something new by the time they were done singing. And in more ways than one. When I thought about it, I think we all were experiencing something new. In mine and Shadow's case, Parenthood. Prowl and Aimee, newly formed commitment, and Wreck-Gar, true love. But Starscream and Alexis were probably gonna wind up being a spitting image of Shadow and I. I couldn't wait to see how that would go.
We all went to bed that night after a few hours of staying up late. Poor Wreck-Gar practically fell asleep on the floor on Shadow's side of the berth right when he got in (Shadow let him sleep in our room). We fell asleep too, just holding on to each other like we used to.
"Love you, Lockdown".
"And I you" I hesitated. I hadn't called her by her human name in a while, "Melissa".
A/N: So, does that answer a few questions? I hope it does. This future pairing with Alexis and Starscream is gonna be a little difficult for me, since the Starscream in this fic is the Animated based, but I'm using my imagination and replacing his ever annoying voice. How many times do I have to tell you, Tom Kenny? Leave Starscream's voice to the pros! Granted, you're not a bad actor, but please, by all means, stay with SpongeBob, please. Drop me a review.
