Chapter 5: The Mastermind of Love
Stargazer's P.O.V
Man, Chromia looked really upset when she stomped out like that. Man, I hope she doesn't know about the plan. Primus, it'll be over for us if she does. "What was that about?" Melody asked as Drift shrugged, but I slowly looked away. Boy, oh boy, this is why I hate keeping secrets. Especially one that was THIS big. "So, um, Drift... Is it true?" I asked out of the blue as he gave me a confused look before Yorketron spoke up. "What do you mean Stargazer?" He asked me as I gulped a bit. "Is it true... That you have a crush on Chromia?" I asked as Drift suddenly lit up quickly. He was blushing red as Chromia does whenever she gets upset. "W-What?! No, where did you hear this from!" He asked me as I looked away fully, having a smug look on my face. "Oh, no reason.. I've just heard some rumors is all.. Didn't know if they were true or not, which is why I simply asked." I said to him casually, starting to feel a bit shifty. Alright, so far, Operation: Lovebots is already a big time success. I just needed this, so if I just played along, then maybe, just maybe, these two could be together as Spark mates. I was hoping for a one hundred percent chance rate, and this was just PURE GOLD! "Unless of course, your in denial, then I understand." I said, deciding to play my small trump card into the game. Oh wow, I love this game of Love, and I'm sure enough to win if I play the right hand.
"Star, why would you think that?" Melody asked me as my optics shifted again. "Well.. I mean.. You don't think they could be together..." I said softly, thinking about her and Prowl together. Oh yeah, FYI, I knew about them too. I knew ALL of the couples in the Academy. This, my friends, was no lie either. Kids from my classes and lunch always gave me the juicy bits to put into my comm-link and optic-visors (Reference to Amy's visors from Sailor Moon), which is how I always knew things. "That's not what I meant. I mean why you say something like that." Melody asked as I shrugged once more. "Hey, tell that to the others who have already spread this around the school, I just know! If your accusing me, I can't believe you!" I said before stopping. Oh shoot, suspicious activity number one. I never raise my voice to anyone unless its that bad, especially if its to my own friends. Hinting this, Melody suddenly noticed this, speaking up. "Star.. Is there something you aren't telling us?" She asked before I quickly spoke up.
"What.. No, I'm telling you what I heard.." I said before my comm beeped. "Shoot, gotta take this, be right back!" She said, rushing off to my room as she picked it up. "Hey Longarm.. Did ya do what I needed you to do?" I asked him as he spoke up. "Yep, everything's done Star. Everyone knows about Chromia and Drift. So, when will we carry out the final act?" He asked me as I smiled, not realizing the others were eavesdropping on my conversation. "Soon.. Very soon. Give them some time to adjust.. I don't want them to let on already what they know. I told them about the rumor." I said to him, knowing already that he knew about the plan. Operation: Lovebots was simple: Get Chromia and Drift to love each other, and have them become Spark mates. Said and done, I'll move on to Prowl and Melody, then me last. Lately, things haven't been going my way. My little brother, Sparkfire, lost his life to a rare disease that we had no cure for. That's why I'm doing this. Its best to let them be mad, then to let them feel sympathy for me. I then heard the creak of the door, gulping. "Before you yell.. Let me explain." I said as Drift spoke up. "Then kindly explain it to us Star." He said as I fidgeted with my fingers a bit. "Look... Chromia's been.. Upset lately, and I was trying to make her better. Then, when I saw you, I thought maybe.." I stopped there. "I would give it a chance.. Ya know, your actually brave for doing this. I have to thank you.. Because of you, I do like her.. No, better, I love her." He said, laughing a bit as I smiled, hugging him tightly as the others laughed.
"Sweet! Because me and Longarm are gonna spread the word about you two at the Pep Rally for the best couple, so shape up big boy! And hey, I wanna see you and Prowl there too Melody!" I said to her as she blushed, her uncle giving her a look. "Yeah, he knows now! He knows!" I said before she got me back, and got me back good. "How about you and Jazz, Miss. Matchmaker!" She yelled as I blushed myself, looking away. Drift smirked at me. "Oh, so you like someone too Stargazer? I'll make sure to nominate you two for the couple thing as well, right Melody!" He asked as she spoke up. "You betcha to Primus you better." She said as I looked to Drift, a look of shyness overcoming me. "If you so much as tell Jazz, I swear Drift, your gonna regret Primus ever built you!" I said, starting to chase him as he ran off with me behind him, leaving me to wonder what was up with Chromia. Maybe she was tihnking about him, and didn't know.
Maybe she did love him. She didn't want to confess it to him though. But that was like Chromia, always so bubbled up inside.
Author's Note: So, now you all know about the couples, and yes, in this one, the canons are sort of OOC, just like the other chapters, but please don't flame me for that, hope ya loved this chapter, and we'll be back for Chromia's POV in the next chapter.
