Chapter 3: I fall in love
Starscream story: Speed city: 7452 Stellar cycles ago
Starscream was walking in Speed city with the rest of his trine since it was is day off from the research facility.
("Speed city?" Asks Miko.)
("Interrupting me already? It's the city known for his race and high speed. Lots of the racers of Cybertron are born there like Knock Out. It's his city, which explains why he loves race." Explains Starscream. "Anymore question before I continue? No. Then I'll continue")
"Why did you bring me here? Nothing in those grounder races will impress me since we can fly." Complains Starscream.
"We know. I just want to fly over them and annoy the racers by showing how way faster we are compare to them." Says Skywarp. "I just want to see the look on their faceplate."
"...You're such a sparkling Skywarp." Says Thundercracker. "It's just that you spend too much time in your research. You need to live outside the lab time to time."
"...Is it wrong that I love my job?" Asks Starscream.
"No, but it's wrong to be a no-online cybertronian." Replies Skywarp.
"...I'm not a no-online cybertronian." Argue Starscream.
"So...When are we teasing the racer?" Asks Skywarp.
"Stop with this and...Let's watch the race for now." Says Thundercraker.
They pay the credit and they enter in the arena. They look at the bottom and saw the racer getting in position.
"-Welcome every cybertronian for the 14 712 race of Speed city. We can see that your 2 favorites: Knock Out and Lightspeed-" Shout the commentator.
("Knock Out was a racer! I always thought he was a medic." Interrupt Blackswords)
("You don't know him at all" Replies Starscream.)
"Guess the race will start soon." Says Skywarp.
"Just shut up and enjoy." Says Thundercracker.
"-The racers take their position. The race will start on 3...2...1...ROLL!-" Shout the commentator.
The race begins and it was really intense. Knock Out and Lightspeed take the lead from the beginning until the end of the race. At the last second, Lightspeed was first and she beat Knock Out.
"-And Lightspeed wins the race this time-" Says the commentator excited.
All cybertronian shout in joy for the excellent and excited race they've seen. Starscream and his trine were also excited by the race between the 2 best racers. After a while, they get out of the arena and walk outside.
"See. Fun things exist outside the lab." Says Skywarp.
"I know. *Sigh* what do we do now?" Asks Starscream.
"We'll...We should-" But Thundercracker was cut by a:
Bang!
Starscream tackle another cybertronian by accident.
"Sorry." They say at the same time.
Starscream looks at the cybertronian and saw that it was...Lightspeed.
"You're the winner!" Says Starscream. When he watches her closer, he was at a loss of word.
"Of course, I'm the fastest femme of all Cybertron." Replies Lightspeed.
"You may be the faster grounder, but you can't compare your speed with fliers." Replies Skywarp.
"Skywarp." Tries to warn Thundercracker but it was too late.
"Of course, I don't use the easy way. It's more exciting to be a grounder and it's harder during a race since they are more limitation and obstacles. I don't understand what you enjoy in flying." Says Lightspeed.
"You don't know anything. Flying is our life." Says Skywarp.
"Well rolling is my life." Countered Lightspeed.
"H-Hello." Says Starscream.
"? Sorry I forgot to introduce myself...Even if you know my name. I am Lightspeed." She says.
"I am Starscream." He says a little too fast.
"I'm Thundercracker and this impulse and a little stupid seeker is my brother Skywarp."
"Hey!" Says Skywarp a little mad at his brother.
"Well...I have to go. Bye." She then transforms and roll fast.
"B-Bye!" Says Starscream.
"Are you in love?" Tease Skywarp.
"...Of course not." Says Starscream.
"I think you are." Says Skywarp happy from his reaction.
("And we've argue over this for...2 hours. Skywarp didn't let this go." Says Starscream. "I watch her race when I have time during one stellar cycle until destiny...and by destiny I mean Skywarp and his plan to fall in love one another." )
Starscream follows Skywarp, he says he found something interesting and he has to show it to him. He then shows him a door which he opens and throws him inside and closes it before Starscream can go out.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU SLAGGING WARP! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Shout Starscream.
("Even if I say that Starlight never repeats that word or I'll make sure you regret it." Says Starscream.)
("You are a bad influence." Comment Stardust.)
("I'm the one who say that least in this base." Countered Starscream.)
("I've never say this in my life." Counter Stardust.)
("Oh! Sure...You say it when you hit your...you know what for 4 solar cycles non-stop!" Says Starscream.)
("Enough and continue please." Says Optimus knowing this confrontation will be endless.)
Skywarp walks away and leave Starscream inside. One solar cycle later, he returns with someone else.
"So what do you want to show me?" Asks a familiar voice to Starscream. Starscream recognises the femme voice. It comes from Lightspeed.
"Well..." Says Skywarp.
He opens the door and throws her inside. She falls on Starscream who fall on his back, Lightspeed over him. Skywarp close the door and for 3 solar cycles they order him to open the door until they move to insulting him for another 3 solar cycles and finally begin to talk. The 2 talk a lot and they eventually begin to talk more about themselves and they begin to speak about relationship until they suddenly kiss one each other's.
Then Skywarp finally opens the door. He watches them kissing until they broke the kiss and smash Skywarp for a while.
"Aie! Ouch! Pl- Urgh! Please! Stop! Ouch!" And Skywarp keeps complaining for a while until they let him go. "Why?"
"Because you trap us in this room." Explains Starscream.
"But you were clearly in love with her and-" But he was cut by another punch from Starscream. "Ouch!"
"It's alright." Says Lightsaber. "Let's trap him inside the door and have a romantic date."
"What! No! Let me go." Clam! "Hey! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Shout Skywarp as Starscream and Lightsaber walk away. "COME BACK" PLEASE!"
"Well...Where do you want to go?" Asks Starscream. When he asks that he looks at her closer. She was rather a thin femme, but less than Starscream. She is blue except her helm which is red. Her optics are green, a unique color. She has...large arms compare to Starscream, but her pede were big and made for high speed.
"Hum...Let's grab some energon and visit the crystal forest." Propose Lightsaber.
They did has she suggests and have fun together. They decide to visit the forest after having a full tank. Then they decide to hang out together until the day end.
"I'm sorry, but I have a race soon." Says Lightsaber.
"Maybe another time." Propose Starscream.
"With you? Of course." She says with smile.
"Care to give me your comlink?" Asks Starscream.
"Of course!" Then they give their comlink and kiss before saying good bye.
"I think I'm forgetting something." Says Starscream.
Present: Autobot Command Room
"From that day we fall in love." Says Starscream.
"With a grounder." Says Starsaber.
"Yes...I don't see what the problem is." Replies Starscream.
"I don't have a problem...but I just never imagine you with a grounder." Says his brother.
"So...You forgot you're trine member in a room...did he survive?" Asks Stardust.
"Of course. After all, it was my brother who offline both of them." Says Starscream still enrage about their dead.
"It is war. You were decepticons and I was an autobot." Says Starsaber.
Starlight closes his eyes at those words. With my power...Can I put an end to this war?...Can I put an end to all this?...With Primus power?
"Anyway, about Knock Out loving races. His origin explains a lot." Comments Cliffjumper and cutting the arguments between Starscream and Starsaber.
"I know. I never really give importance to his name when I watch the race, but when I meet him during the war, I recognise him and he was proud that someone remember his racing past...except for Soundwave and Breakdown." Says Starscream.
"I have a question." Asks Starscream Sire. "Did you talk about you weird desire that worries your family?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Answers Starscream.
"I mean...when you sing and dance «It is I Starscream...» The rest I don't remember." Says Stardust.
"SIRE! How can you say such a thing?" Says Starscream.
"Is it true?" Asks Starlight.
"Absolutely true. He does this time to time." Says Skyfire. "When he's...less...sane."
Starscream then fall on his knee.
"Now I'm in shame for the rest of my existence." Complains Starscream.
Everyone in the base laugh strongly at the thought of Starscream dancing and singing, except Starscream of course.
"Anyway...I think it's beginning to be late for today." Says Jake.
"Thankfully we have all free time tomorrow." Says Miko.
"Yeah." Says Jake.
"Miko. How your rock group holding up?" Asks Raf.
"Really good. We are still preparing our first album, but it's going to rock I assure you." Says Miko with a smile.
"That's my girl." Says Jake.
"So...Are you more...responsible?" Asks Starlight.
"Well...Of course." Says Miko. Which was half of the true.
"She's still doing reckless thing, but she don't put her life in danger anymore like she usually does." Explains Jake.
"Glad for you." Says Starlight."
"So you are agent Fowler right?" Asks Starlight.
"Yes..."
"It was strange that we never meet when I was in the base." Comment Starlight.
"It's true. The odds were against it until now I guess." Explains Fowler.
"Time to return home." Says June.
They all say good-bye and the humans return home.
"Starlight...Let's catch the time we've lost." Says Stardust.
"Of course." Says Starlight with a smile.
"...You too Starscream." Says Stardust.
"..." Starscream didn't answer.
"You can't be serious." Says Starsaber. He didn't shout, but he was clearly displeased by this.
"I am...They are so many things I've wanted to say. So many things I should have to say...So many secrets none of you know. I'm the last one to know it." Explains Stardust.
"Well my friends...I'll be occupied for a long time." Says Starlight to Blackswords and Tear.
"Don't take too much time." Says Blackswords.
Autobot base on the roof outside
"What do you want to talk about?" Asks Starscream.
"Let's begin with your special spark Starscream." Answers Stardust.
