Chapter 11
Oh Slag!
~Cassie~
~x~
Cassie was nibbling innocently on her toast, ignoring the scathing glares that were being shot at her from over the table. Judy was chuckling from her position at the stove while Ron was very pointedly making sure not to look up from his newspaper.
"Mom, this isn't funny."
"Oh I don't know Sam, It makes you look... unique."
"Hey she could have done what your mom did to me when I forgot our first anniversary. Your mom shaved me completely bald. There wasn't a single hair on my body... Save for my eyelashes."
Judy grinned at her husband. "I would have plucked them too but it would have woken you up. Besides Sam, I hear turquoise is really in."
Sam's glare switched to his mother. "Thanks but no thanks for the compliment mom." Sam ran his pink painted nails through his now light turquoise hair. There were still streaks from the mascara on his cheeks that had been too stubborn to come off along with the mineral eyeshadow that had stained his eyelids black. He was irritated with his mother due the fact that she had hidden her make up remover.
Cassie smiled up at her cousin. "I thought you looked really pretty Sam. Especially in the Strawberry Shortcake PJ's."
"I hate you."
"I love you too dear cousin of mine. Now aren't you going to be late for school?"
"Yeah no thanks to you."
"Oh I'm sure Scott could give you two a ride to school."
Sam shot a nervous glance to Bee who shrugged as he stood up from the table, taking his water bottle with him. "Come on Sam. You can plot your revenge later."
"You mean he can try." Cassie called as they walked out the door. She smirked as she polished off her toast and pushed her chair back.
"You know I should reprimand you..." Ron said as he finally closed his newspaper to give a stern look at his niece. A swat to the head and a whispered threat into his ear from his wife, and Ron sighed dejectedly. "Look just go remove the rest of the sticky notes off of Sam's car."
Cassie sighed as she placed her plate into the sink. "Yes sir."
"And don't forget to wash him too!" Judy called after her as she exited the house. "You can't just leave the residue on that handsome car."
"Yes Aunt Judy..."
~x~
It took roughly an hour and a half for her to remove the remaining sticky notes that Bee had not yet peeled off of the car before he had come to collect Sam for school. The girl sighed at the trash bag full of paper...
"I wonder if Aunt Judy has a compost bin..."
"Knowing her, probably."
"Where have you been lurking?" Cassie commented, she was currently digging through the garage for stuff to wash the car.
"Eh plotting."
Plotting? Plotting what?
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Crescent smirked.
"As a matter of fact I would like to know. It's never a good thing when you are being secretive..." Cassie glared. "You know I hate it when you hide stuff from me."
"Hey there girly." Jazz greeted her from where he was leaning against the Camaro.
"I wondered where you were lurking." Cassie smiled at the spirit. "Plotting with my evil twin?"
"Hey! You're the evil one!"
"Okay so it's fifty - fifty. But still you are the annoying one." Cassie waved her hand as she grabbed the hose.
Crescent stuck her tongue out. Cassie chuckled as she filled the buckets. "So should I be concerned about any nefarious plots from beyond the grave? Or may I be allowed to relax for a change without worrying about any negative side effects?"
"Only time will tell."
"Very cryptic."
"Thanks."
Cassie took the hose and turned towards the Camaro and let loose.
~x~
~Bee~
~x~
It took every ounce of control Bee had not to screech as he was blasted with the cold water. As it was he did jar on his wheels a little before he locked his brakes and tried his hardest not to quiver from the cold. He listened to Cassie banter on with the unseen presence, which he identified with the slightly unnerving feeling accompanying his side... At least he thought it was Crescent.
"Yeah I guess I can consider myself lucky that this is all I get after messing with Sam and Bee. But hey, look at it this way I can work on the drills that you want me to with out that cocky stalker watching my every move..." Cassie said as she slapped a sponge none too gently on his hood. He glanced to her left before a slight smile grace her lips. "Oh yes I could definitely use a chance to meditate in peace... Though seeing as I have lost my tail for the day maybe I could actually go for a freaking walk without being followed... Maybe a nice walk to the park. Somewhere quiet where I may be able to dig my feet into the dirt, lie in the grass and enjoy it..." She breathed. "Yet I'm stuck here washing this possessed car and wasting any nice alone time that I get from the living... Since I can't get rid of you two."
...She thinks I'm possessed? A brief memory of Sam screaming "Satan's Camaro' flashed through his processors. She's definitely way off course...
"Because I told you that it isn't natural for a freaking car to have an aura of its own. That is why I believe it to be haunted. Nothing else could possibly make sense." Cassie muttered as she leaned into her scrubbing which, for all its brisk roughness in the beginning was starting to become softer and more detailed... more distracting... He shuddered as she began to work on his windshield. The girl on top of him paid no note to his slight shuddering or the warmth of his metal as she concentrated on her task at hand.
"... Why would I drive to the freaking park Methuselah? I mean yeah I'm fairly confident in my hotwiring skills but what would commandeering Sam's ride for the day accomplish besides freaking him and Scott out?"
She stiffened. "How dare you." her tone icy. "I'll have you know that I do know how to drive." Cassie twitched at something. "That was one time. And it wasn't like I drove Reggie's squad car into anything... I just... killed her cat..." Her cheeks flushed with anger and embarrassment as she went back to scrubbing. Cassie sighed as she tossed the sponge a side and dumped the sun warmed buckets of water over him.
~x~
~Crescent~

"It isn't that funny." Cassie glowered as she began to towel off the remaining moisture remaining on the car. "There is nothing hilarious in taking another life Crescent." Cassie said quietly as she opened the car wax.
Crescent sobered up at her sister's tone. "I know that you didn't mean it like that. And I was referring to how you took out her fence."
"It's not my fault that they were being chintzy with the salt." Cassie glared. "I mean seriously, who the hell came up with the idea to put sand down on top of Ice? It just makes things a worse mess in the long run." she said before she looked down at the yellow paint under her hands. That was weird... Cassie's thought drifted over their bond.
"Hm?" Crescent moved forward. "What's up?"
The car... I thought I felt a tremble... Cassie paused to glare at the vehicle under her hands. Crescent glanced at Jazz who cocked a brow. She smiled in return.
Cassie continued her stare off with Bumblebee's altmode before shrugging and returning to her waxing. "I wonder how long it takes for heat stroke to settle in. The delusional stage is fun..."
Figures she'd think she's losing it... Crescent thought as she shook her head. The two spirits remained silent until Cassie sighed and finally stood back from the car. "There all destickyfied and sexy again. Now Sam can't bitch at me." She smiled as she admired her work.
"In all honesty girl Ah think tha' Bee was da more upset of da two of 'em." Jazz said. "So now tha' ya are done ya ready to work on your sets?"
"Ever the task master aren't you? I told you that I was going to seize this rare opportunity to go to the park. We can practice there." Cassie smirked. "But first things first. I am not wearing this to the park." Cassie motioned to her soaking wet clothes before heading into the house.
Crescent shook her head. You know I know that my sister is oblivious... but really. For as intelligent as she is she is so infuriatingly naive."
"Ah can't argue with ya on tha' one. But I guess tha's wha' makes her cute."
"You mean irritating." Crescent said as she sat on Bee's hood. "I think we should just up and tell her."
"... Perhaps... But le's keep up on our little game a bit longer. Maybeh we'll get lucky and one of these dunderhelms will get curiouser."
"... Is that even a word?" Crescent frowned.
"Alright lets go already." Cassie said as she spun a set of keys on her finger.
"Wait you're driving?" Crescent blinked at her twin.
"Well oddly enough Judy told me to go ahead and steal the Demonic Chevy. Come on." she said as she clambered into the car. Crescent burst out into a fit of snickering as she settled next to her sister. Cassie glanced at her. "Want to share the joke with the rest of us?"
"You realize that the Corvette is also a Chevy product as well right?"
"..." Cassie stared at her sister mutely for several seconds before she began to laugh. She shook her head as she turned the key and the Camaro's engine flared to life.
~x~
~Jazz~
~x~
Jazz knew that the scouts sensors were watching them as he drilled Cassie in Metalikato. He kept glaring in Bee's direction, daring the Camaro to please recognize the moves. For the younger bot to use his slagging processor and realize that these weren't moves the girl could possibly know.
"Say Jazz..." Cassie said softly.
I hope you heard that. He thought with another glare.
"Yeah?"
"Why are you still tethered here?"
"Wha' do ya mean?"
Cassie shifted her stance so that she could look him in the optics. "You are still tethered to this world. There must be a reason that you have not yet passed on to wherever it is that you were meant to go on to. I know that you are far from a malevolent spirit. You hold no grudge, you are not tied down to where you died, you are not haunting a specific person, place, or thing. So why are you still tethered here? Is it for your family? For your comrades? For love?" She paused as she noticed him flinch at the last word. "Love? You're still here because of love?"
Jazz looked away from her, his spark heavy with regret and sorrow. He did not want to have this talk not right now... "Cassie..."
"That's so romantic..."
"So was her name?"
"..."
"Well? Huh? Huh?" Crescent poked him.
If Jazz were still alive he'd be sure that his face plates would be blue from his blushing. "His name is Prowl."
Both of the girls blinked at him for a good long minute before he was met by matching grins. "So it's a guy eh?"
"Is he cute?"
Jazz poignantly made sure to turn away from them. "Ah would prefer not to talk about it..."
"Aw I believe we've made him flustered..." Cassie grinned. "Look how bashful he is... I didn't know that you have a bashful side..."
"Who said anythin' about bein' bashfull? Ah'm not bashfull!"
Crescent hugged him. "So defensive... Let me guess you never told him how you feel."
"..." Jazz started walking back towards Bee.
"Oh you have got to kidding me. You never told him? You're stuck here because of unrequited love?" The other spirit skipped merrily next to him.
"..."
"Does he love you?" Jazz froze next to Bee.
"Crescent enough teasing Jazz. If he doesn't want to talk about it then drop it."
~x~
~Bee~
~x~
Bee couldn't believe his audios. Did she just...?
"Look I'm sorry for the idiot- Yes, yes you are, you don't know when to drop it Crescent. Look Jazz's love life isn't really any of our business." Cassie growled as she opened the door.
Maybe it's a coincidence? Bee thought as he revved his engine. But then again... He thought back to her practice stances... Some of them did look familiar...
:Hey Bee where are you?:
:Cassie 'stole' me for the day.: Bee replied...
"Covered in all those sticky notes?:
:She washed me.: Bee replied smugly. :Complete with a wax.:
:Lucky... I haven't had a wax in a week...: Sideswipe whined.
:It was good too...:
:Slagger.:
If Bee could roll his optics he would have. :Look whatever. Tell me do you recognize any of these moves?: Bee sent him the memory file of Cassie during her most recent work out session.
Sideswipe took a few minutes to reply back. :And here I thought I was seeing things the yesterday... Bee... That's Metalikato... There's no way she could possibly know those moves. That's strictly a Cybertronian discipline. Those moves don't even exist on Earth!:
:... Sides... That's not the only thing I noticed... She finally said the name of the other ghost. She called him Jazz.:
