Disclaimer; Nope, still don't own them...sadly.

Here is the second chapter, or if you can call it a chapter, really. As I said before I will finish it, hopefully soon. Original plans were for it to not be that long.

"Why'd you pick him?"

My eyes stared at Starscream in pure confusing.

"What are you talking about?"

"Shockwave."

I raised a metallic eyebrow "Isn't it obvious?" I carried a tray of chemicals to the other side of the lab.

The seeker stood in my way "No it isn't obvious."

My optics hardened as I forced my way past the mech. I set down the tray on a counter and turned back to face Starscream.

"Why should you care?"

He advanced, pure lust filling his bright scarlet optics. The seeker's sudden change in mood didn't surprise me. "Not in your life sweetheart."

"Why not?"

I could help but laugh. "I've proven my love to shockwave by carrying his sparklings. I'm not going to leave him for you."

Starscream was clearly angered by the statement.

I shook my head before brushing past Starscream on my way out of the lab.

My optics brightened as I saw Shockwave enter the room; Starscream letting out an inaudible growl. The mech walked towards me "Why don't you get some rest, I'll take the rest of your shift."

I smiled "Thank you. I gave my mate a quick hug before leaving. Starscream snickered before leaving after me.

"Lightningfire!"

I kept my steady pace; it was Silversmoke.

"Yes?"

The younger mech caught up to me.

"I was wondering when our next lesson would be."

I smiled "How about first thing tomorrow morning."

Silversmoke nodded "Alright, Lightningfire. I'll see you later." I watched as the young mech walked down a separate hallway to his room.

"I see someone has become attached." I sighed as Starscream walked up to me.

"Don't you have work to do?"

"Actually, no."

"Then find some!"

The seeker smirked "Maybe we could find something to do together."

"WHAT!?"

I stopped walking, staring up at the mech. He advanced, pinning me into a corner.

"Come on Lightning."

I shoved him off of me, walking down to my room. He didn't give up so easily though.

Starscream caught up to me, grabbing my hand in his. His optics softened and a caring look took placed of his anger.

"I love you, Lightningfire."

I slapped the mech across the face before entering my room, the door sliding shut behind me.....

"You look tired babe, why don't you get some rest?"

Shockwave felt as my hand rested on his shoulder, gently guiding him towards our bedroom. "Thank you Lightning" he replied.

I sat down next to him, a smile crossing my lips. "I'll take your sift tomorrow."

Shockwave lay back in the berth "No, I'll manage."

My optics narrowed "I'll tell Megatron you're on leave for the next few cycles." The mech only began to protest more. "I'm not letting you work double shifts AND train Silversmoke."

"Then I'll pass my first shift to someone else." Shockwave knew that from prior experience that he wouldn't be able to convince his mate.

"Fine."

I set my hand on his chest plating "Then it's settled."....

What's wrong with Shockwave? Too much interfacing last night?"

I glared over at Skywarp "Oh ha ha, very funny."

Thundercracker and Frenzy both walked into the med bay, Ravage being carried in the light blue seeker's hands. "What happened?"

I saw Thundercracker lay the cassetticon down on a table "He and the kids-" I heard a protest from Frenzy "-They were training when Ravage was forced of a cliff."

I flashed a death glare at Frenzy before caring for Ravage. "Does Soundwave know?"

Thundercracker nodded, "He's on his way down here." I looked down at the once fierce Ravage, now a scared helpless kitten.

Frenzy looked up at me "Hey, how come Ravage always gets all the attention?" He scowled.

"You want attention? Well, here's my foot!"

I kicked Frenzy in the face as hard as I possibly could. Skywarp immediately reacted my grabbing my arms and pulling me away "Calm down Sweetheart" he cooed.

"I don't need to calm down!!"

Skywarp watched as Ravage let out a hiss of pain. "Come on Lightning, calm down. Ravage needs you."

My optics softened as the black and purple seeker guided me over to Ravage. I gently stroked the feline's flank with one hand while surveying his injured forepaw. "Quit whining" I ordered Frenzy as he began his ranting.

"You were the one that kicked me in the first place!"

"Would you give it a rest already?!"

Soundwave glared at me when he heard I kicked Frenzy.

"What?"

Soundwave shook his head at me, looking over at Ravage with sympathetic optics.

"He'll survive, don't worry."

Ravage began to fall into recharge as Soundwave stroked his flank gently.
