Hot Shot's girl: Okay no more mixing episodes with my stories 'cause I didn't watch all of the energon episodes but that's alright. Enjoy the story one and all.

Earth was a wretched planet to them. They hated it, but in order to bring back their master they had to go there to look for someone. They moved in stealth so not be seen or rise any commotion. No one would expect them coming . . . especially their acquired target.

"Hot Shot I can't have you leaving ocean city," said Optimus as he looked at the yellow mech.

"But Optimus I can take care of myself," said Hot Shot. "I'm not a sparkling anymore. I'm 20,000 years old not 2,000."

"Hot Shot please try to understand that it is too dangerous for you to go out of this city. Too many people are trying to kill you."

Hot Shot then bowed his head at the rememberance of his, once, hero Rodimus. Optimus saw his grief and tried to help.

"I'm sorry about what happened Hot Shot. I don't know what ill-purpose drove him to do that to you, but I assure you he will not touch you again," assured Optimus.

"I really want to be alone right now Optimus," said Hot Shot as he turned his back to him.

Optimus could do nothing more and so he left. He closed the door, but not without glancing one more time at his son. He let out a sigh and then left hispresance. Why couldn't he just tell him?

Not now, thought Optimus as he walked away and left Hot Shot alone.

Hot Shot sat on his bed and just thought to himself. He then laid back on his bed and remembered when he had met him.

Why did he say that? wondered Hot Shot as he thought of Rodimus' words.

FLASHBACK

"I must never let Unicron live again," echoed Rodimus' voice in Hot Shot's audio receivers.

Rodimus then pulled the trigger and shot him hard in the spark.

END FLASHBACK

"Again?" wondered Hot Shot reflecting on this word. "What does he mean by again . . . and why does he see me as a threat? I'm not Unicron . . . am I? Is that what he thinks I am?"

Hot Shot then sat up and looked out his sun-filled window. Jetfire was flying around along with other transformers. It appeared to Hot Shot that this city was a prison more than a refuge to him.

"Now I know what Kicker feels like," sighed Hot Shot seeing a seagull land on his window. "Well at least you're free."

The seagull just starred at him for a moment. Hot Shot smiled and came to it. It didn't fly away from him, but Hot Shot shooed it away.

"Go and be free while you still can," he said swishing at it.

He then rested his arms on the window and gave out a long sigh saying-

"Yeah . . . a prison."

Little did Hot Shot know that he was being secretly watched from afar. They were watching him. Unicron's evil horsemen. They knew that their target was now acquired.

"Well at least he's still cute," smiled Airazor.

"Would you shut up!" said an annoyed Terrorsaur.

"What?" shrugged Airazor. "I can't help it if none of you are as good-looking."

"Just cram it will ya," said Terrorsaur.

Then as they watched Hot Shot they noticed that he was looking down at something. He then turned around and strode away from the window. They looked and saw Optimus Prime standing there below. From what they told he must have told Hot Shot to stay completely sealed in the city so none could see him . . . it was smart.

Then out of he blue came Airazor's uncaring voice-

"So what do you think we'll have? A boy or girl? I'm leaning more towards a girl."

All looked at her with crooked looks.

"Obsessed freak," mumbled Rhinox as he turned his attention to the city again.

"We're here to get Unicron's spark back . . . not have babies Airazor," said Cheetor as he crossed his arms.

"Enough! We have to figure out a good way to get into the city unseen," said Rhinox. "And we have to do it quickly."

And so they planned their battle strategy with care.

Alexis had looked for it for months, five to be exact. She had no idea where she had placed it, but ut was nowwhere to be found. She had first noticed it was gone that one night when Starscream came to her and handled her a little rough. When he would touch or kiss her it would be hard and he was made of metal so she got quite a number of bruises.

She noticed the very next day when she was eating breakfast that it was gone. She thought that maybe it was Starscream that had taken it from her when she was sleeping, but e said he was nowhere near her to do so. She wished he ould have been more careful around her, for now she feared she wasn't able to turn big to fae Starscream, but later she found that she was able to change like she had all by herself when he was near her. But nothing was as strange as when Rad had told her what he thought about the way she looked recently.

"Are you getting fat Alexis?" asked Rad seeing her belly begin to pooch out.

"Excuse me?" she answered a bit insulted.

"You look like you've put ona couple pounds," said Rad trying as hard as he could not to insult her.

She then looked at herself in a mirror and saw that Rad was right.

"What in the world?" she gasped. "I work out every day!"

Then as Rad patted his young son on his back he looked back at Alexis and said-

"Maybe not long enough?"

Alexis continued to look at herself in the mirror wonderinf how she missed that fat. She tried to work it off, but the very next month she began to look like she was pregnant. She knew that was impossible for she had seen with no man. The only one she had ever been with was Starscream and the closest they could ever get was making out and being just a little touchy.

Even though she did quite enjoy kissing him she knew that that way wasnot capable of making a child. She had never really asked any of the transformers how they are made, but she certainly knew that a human and a robot could not have children . . . could they? Now for the longest time she didn't worry about it till the seventh month where her belly had increased in size. No matter how much she worked out she was still getting bigger.

She now decided to, unwillingly, take a pregnancy test. She did and it had said she wasn't pregnant, but by the next month she had just gotten bigger. She was afraid of going to the doctor, for if she was . . . pregnant her child would not be human. So she went to the one person she knew she could trust.

"Dr. Jones?" Alexis said softly as she stepped inside his office.

"Alexis!" smiled Dr. Jones as he ran and hugged her tightly.

"Alexis just smiled a bit and then pushed away from him.

"Alexis what's wrong?" he asked. "Are you hurt again?! 'cause if you are . . ."

"No, no," she smiled as she shook her heas.

"Then what is it?" he asked.

"I was just wondering," she started as she nervously fiddled with her hands.

"Alexis you're trembling," said Dr. Jones seeing her nervous reaction.

"Do you . . . " she started again. "How do transformers have children?"

Dr. Jones was thrown off-course at this strange subject, but nonetheless he told her what he was told by Optimus. She listened with care and then asked how a transformer pregnancy test was performed.

"Well, back on cybertron Red Alert showed me how to do one. It was very interesting. You see the first thing you do . . ." as Dr. Jones began to explain the process of a transformer pregnancy test he was cut off by an anxious, but nervous Alexis.

"Can you do one on me?"

"Why?" asked Dr. Jones. It wouldn't do no good."

He then looked closely at the way Alexis was acting and so had to ack her questions in order to get answers.

"Alexis, I don't mean no offense but . . . are you pregnant?"

Alexis said nothing she just fiddled with her fingers. The doctor then asked her-

"And you think you're carrying a transformer child?"

"It's just a silly test right?" she nervously smiled.

Dr. Jones then crossed his arms and squinted his eyes as he starred at her saying-

"And if I do find you to be pregnant with a transformer child might I ask who the father is?"

Alexis still said nothing, she had just starred at the florr. Dr. Jones knew he wasn't going to get nowhere so decided to do the test on her anyway. Through the whole test none said a word till the final results were in.

"Alexis, I don't know how, but you are carrying a transformer child and you are about eight months along. For a transformer you'd have four months left, but there's the problem . . . you're not a transformer. You could possibly kill yourself. You need to get looked at right away!" he said urgeing her to come with him.

"No!" she said darting back. "I don't want any one to know . . . please Dr. Jones, don't tell anyone."

"But you'll have it soon and with out the proper handling you could die," said Dr. Jones with great concern.

"Then learn how to deliver a transformer," she said.

"But Alexis!" pleaded Dr. Jones.

"PLEASE!" she nearly shouted her hormones shifting from the pregnancy. She then calmed down a bit. "Please, I can't let anyone know about . . . my baby. If they did, I don't know, too many questions and I'm just not ready to answer them right now."

"I see," said Dr. Jones seeing she was never going to listen to him. "Then I better brush up on my delivering skills and you keep me on the tabs about how you're progressing, got it?"

Alexis shook her head in agreement, sighed, smiled, and said-

"Thank-you."

"I don't like this Alexis, but you're just so stubburn . . . I am very interested in learning how this happened, but, of course, you won't tell me. But mark my words young lady I will be studying and researching all I can to figure this out, so when you come back don't be too surprised that I figured how this . . . strange happening . . . happened," he said pointing a finger at her.

She just went to leave, but her conscious told her to tell Dr. Jones one last thing.

"And doctor," she said.

"Yes Alexis?" he asked as he turned to her.

"It's Starscream," she then turned and left.

"Alexis?" said Starscream as he saw her downward mood. "What's wrong? You haven't been . . yourself."

Alexis just gazed out her window and into the stars as they began to dim into the morning light of the rising sun. She was speechless for the longest time till she turned to him and, almost crying, said-

"S-starscream?"

"Alexis you're trembling all over," said Starscream as she came to embrace her. "Tell me . . . what's the matter?"

She then took his hands and placed them on her swollen belly and said with tears running down her face-

"Starscream I'm pregnant!"

Starscream looked and saw her enlarged belly. Humans weren't that much different from transformers . . . their bellys would swell as well when they got pregnant. He was more speechless than ever as he heard the strange news.

How? he thought. It's not possible.

She then squeezed his chest as tightly as she could and as she tried to hold back her tears she cried-

"With your child!"

"Alexis!" said Starscream as he ouched her away from him, but still held his grip on her so that he could look her in the eyes. "You and I both know that's impossible!"

"Well apparantly it's not!" she snapped at him before crying in his arms again.

Starscream knew that she was telling the truth for why would she lie about something like this? What were they going to do? This was never sapposed to happen. How could this happen?

Hot Shot was fed up with staying inside the city. He wanted to get out. He needed to get out. He pleaded ot get out.

He knew the city all too well and it rather bored him greatly. He tried to stay clear of Optimus for he, now, became overly protective of him now. It was kind of like he was obsessed with his safety. It would, very much, distance Hot Shot from Optimus.

He decided to avoid security and, somehow, made it ouside of the city. He was in a wilderness when her heard-

"So . . . you finally escaped, huh?"

Hot Shot turned with his blaster drawn only to turn to see . . . Kicker standing there with his arms on the back of his head.

"Kicker what are you . . .?! Hhh, never mind," gave in Hot Shot. "What do you want?"

"How 'bout we go have some fun?" grinned Kicker.

Hot Shot paused for a moment but when Kicker said-

"I know a great racing spot."

A smile on Hot Shot's face appeared great and wide so he transformed and let Kicker hop in. They drove off to have some long-needed fun.
