Shadow
We left the boys with Prowl, Wreck-Gar, and Starscream so that Lockdown and I could take a much needed break from it all. We hung out on that one hill we used to when I was human. I remembered the nights that I would climb on to Lockdown's roof and just lay there for hours on end stargazing. I know that Lockdown must've missed that as much as I did.
"Let's have another Sparkling" I said completely out of the random.
Lockdown practically choked up laughing when I said.
"Slow down there, Shadow. Our sons were just sparked a few weeks ago and you're already talking about having another. Take it easy. When we're ready to have another kid, we will. But for right now, I just kinda wanna enjoy what we have".
I snuggled up to him. "Yeah, maybe I am going a little fast here".
He smiled and I knew he had some really smart-aft comment to make.
"I could think of something really crude to say right now, but I'm not gonna".
"Talk to me" I said.
"Maybe I don't wanna".
"Speak what's on your mind, Lockdown".
"No, it's a really dirty comment so…".
"Oh c'mon, it can't be that bad".
"Alright. I was just thinking that….maybe you liked the sparkling making than having".
I knew he was gonna say something smart aft like that. I punched him lightly on the shoulder.
"What? I told you it was gonna be dirty. Shadow, if I were you, I'd think about thinking about the consequences before you let me speak what's on my mind".
Well, he had a point. I shrugged and got under his good arm again.
"You know, I gotta admit, when you rescued me and brought me here, I didn't think I'd like it here so much. But now, this place has so many memories. Maybe we should stay here".
I looked at him surprised. Lockdown, not wanting to leave Earth? Something must've been screwed up in his processor.
"But you live for bounty hunting. You're the king" I said.
"Yeah well, if I'm always hunting, I won't have time to spend with you guys. Besides, I at least wanna stay until the spring when Naruto and Herbie get married . I got quite the rehearsal dinner speech that I want them to hear".
"Don't make fun of them" I commented.
"Why not? It's funny. A ninja and a wannabe race car, there's nothing more comical than that".
I thought about it. I guess it was alright if we stayed until then. I mean, I owed the two some credit for getting together, right?
"What's gonna be really scary is what their sparklings are gonna look like" Lockdown chuckled.
I knew he was gonna make a comment on that too. Typical, my mech, making mean comments about other's sparklings.
"Well, ours aren't exactly the pick of the litter either, you know. I'm surprised that neither of them have mixed matched parts".
"Oh, addiction's not hereditary I don't think. But yeah, I'm kinda surprised too".
"I'm glad we made it this far" I said.
"Yeah, and by the looks of things, we're only gonna get even further".
A/N: How was that for an ending? Thank you to all who reviewed. I'm finally feeling a little better, but my throat and head still hurt a little. Alrighty, I guess I'll see you guys review my next story, Andromeda, which I'm hoping you guys will like. See ya!
