Me: Ok, here's chapter 2, ok I got stuck in the middle of this one so it's a miracle it got typed! Anyway thanks for the review The Only Person Who Loves Akito, it helped my confidence a lot! Anyway, on with the story, Firefly, my girl, can you read the nice people the disclaimer?
Silver Angel: Hey! Why does she get to?
Me: Oh!! Don't give me that wounded puppy dog look; you can do it next time!
Silver Angel: (Sniffle) ok.
Firefly: Ugh, you are such a drama queen! Anyway Firefly95 doesn't own Transformers Animated, just Firefly, Silver Angel, and Prowess, so you can't have them.
Chapter 2: Alt modes and other fun stuff
The three femmes had decided to get their alt modes before going to the base to get settled, because it was quite a long walk. On the way to the highway to get alt modes, Silver Angel said she wouldn't find her alt mode on a road, mystified, Optimus watched as a set of wings similar to the Decepticon Starscream's, popped out of her back and she took off into the air. He heard several gasps and saw Firefly smirking as he turned to Ratchet, "I thought Autobots couldn't fly!" He said
"Most can't," Ratchet began "but, yes, there are a few who have the means to, but they are pretty rare."
Suddenly Optimus remembered something, "Oh! Like the ArielBots?"
Ratchet nodded, "She might be the daughter of an Arielbot."
Optimus sighed, "right now, I wouldn't be surprised" and went back to watching her loop through the sky. For someone so clumsy on the ground, she was very graceful in the sky.
When she landed, Optimus said, "I take it you'll need a vehicle mode that flies?" She nodded in answer and Optimus said, "Very well, I'm going to contact Captain Fanzone and inform him of our current situation and request permission for one of us to take Silver Angel to the landing strip on the other side of town."
Bulkhead perked up and said, "Uh, Boss bot? I'll take Silver Angel to the landing strip, um, that is, if she wants me to, I mean-" Angel cut him off by putting a hand on his huge arm and saying "I would love for you to escort me, Bulkhead, if it's ok with Optimus."
Optimus nodded and Bumblebee snickered while Firefly "Wooed", Prowl and Prowess's lip components lifted at the edges in the slightest hints of smiles, while Ratchet just sighed and muttered, "Young bots."
While Optimus got in touch with Captain Fanzone, Firefly, Prowess, Bumblebee, and Prowl approached a spot beside the highway where they could see everything and everyone on the road without anyone seeing them.
They settled down and started waiting. They hadn't been there long when a sleek sports car followed by a motor cycle similar to Prowl's vehicle mode zipped by and Firefly squealed in delight at the car and scanned it as it went by, while Prowess much more calmly scanned the motor cycle.
As the two examined their new paintjob patterns and found their new alt modes to their liking, Optimus received permission for Angel and Bulkhead to go to the landing strip so she could pick her new vehicle mode and they soon headed out with Bulkhead driving and Silver Angel flying over him.
Optimus watched the two until he could no longer see them, then redirected his attention to Bumblebee and Firefly, who were already betting who was faster. He shook his head, "Alright, Autobots! Transform and roll out!" he exclaimed and transformed
Firefly and Bumblebee forgot their argument and obeyed instantly, transforming into their vehicle modes along with the others, and followed Optimus to the old automobile manufacturing plant on the edge of town.
Back with Bulkhead and Silver Angel
Bulkhead tried not to think about the femme flying over him, because for some reason whenever he talked to her or even stood near her, he felt weak in his knees and didn't know what to say. He had felt himself heat up when she touched him, but it wasn't uncomfortable, in fact, he rather liked it.
He remembered feeling this way about a femme before, but it had been a long time ago and she hadn't been interested. He hoped this relationship would turn out differently….
Silver Angel tried to keep her attention off the mech below her and on the air space in front of her, but ended up failing miserably. Thankfully though, the skies were clear of any other aircrafts, so she wasn't worried about crashes or anything.
She felt a little confused though, what made her spark flutter when she looked at him or touched him? After all, he wasn't real impressive to look at, she had dated more handsome mechs, but none of them had ever made her feel like this.
She remembered when he had offered to accompany her to the air strip to help her choose her new alt mode; he had stuttered and blushed a bit. Angel smiled to herself; he had been so cute and sweet.
Actually his gentleness had surprised her when he had helped her up when she had tripped; truthfully she had been more surprised that he had actually offered in the first place. Gentle bots were hard to come by nowadays on Cybertron. She smiled; maybe…if she got to know him…he could actually turn into more than just a friend. From what she could tell he was sweet, gentle, and best of all, not a jerk.
Silver Angel executed a quick barrel roll; maybe this trip could be more productive than she first anticipated.
Bulkhead was still thinking when they arrived at the Detroit air strip, he jerked himself out of his thoughts and transformed.
"Uh, Silver Angel?" He said hesitantly.
Angel landed beside him gracefully, "Oh, you can just call me Angel. What is it?" She asked, smiling.
"I was just telling you we're here…Angel." He said a bit shyly.
"Oh, ok, I'll go see if there's one I like then I'll come see what you think, so stay here for a few cycles." She said
