Chapter Seven:

Tenure

"What in SPARKS NAME was THAT?!" Ironhide demanded toward the Decepticon Scout, having witnessed the entire stunt that he had pulled.

Barricade smirked "Just a harmless prank, Autobot~. Nothing more~." he chuckled, loving the reaction he had gotten from Emily.

"A HARMLESS PRANK?! My blood pressure just TRIPLED for Primus SAKE! Did you WANT to give me a heart attack?!" she said angrily, still shaken from what had happened.

"EXACTLY!" Ironhide whipped out his cannon and aimed it at the Decepticon Scout "If you EVER threaten her life again... I will make sure that you don't have a HEAD!" he said angrily.

Bumblebee immediately ran over and tried to calm down Ironhide, standing in-between him and Barricade.

Optimus walked toward them "Ironhide! Stand down!" he suddenly ordered, his voice stern, yet still calm.

Ironhide growled and shoved Bumblebee away, knocking a few trees over angrily when he was at the skirting of the forest. He transformed after he had calmed down a bit, his alt-mode sitting at the edge of the forest.

Barricade smirked, walking away from the Autobots, and heading over toward Starscream, the Seeker trying not to laugh.

Emily walked inside the farmhouse, clutching her chest, taking deep breaths. She walked into the kitchen, washing her face with ice cold water, trying to calm her racing heart before she had a heart attack or stroke from the scare due to her current blood pressure levels.

Her body trembled as she closed her eyes, breathing deeply.

Miranda peeked out from the Quonset before ducking her head back inside. She had the a look of guilt in her eyes when she turned to look at Megatron.

"Well, that wasn't the smartest idea I've ever had..."

"The Autobots, the Weapons Specialist especially... Seem to have already grown protective of Emily..." Megatron looked toward her "As amusing as her reaction was to watch, that was not the best idea to go through with... Let alone do to a close friend..."

"Yeah... Crap... Now I feel all bad..." she sighed and leaned against the wall that was across from where Megatron sat.

"Perhaps you should go see if she is alright... And apologize." he told her.

"No offense, but I don't think I ever thought about the Leader of the Decepticons giving me advice to anything..." she said with a slight smile as she got up.

Miranda walked out of the Quonset and toward the farmhouse, a guilty aura about her.

"Fuck... fuck fuck fuck... That was awful. Stupid Decepticons are becoming a bad influence..."

Emily was in the kitchen, leaning over the sink, breathing shakily, and gripping the counter tightly.

"That was too much like that damned car accident..." Emily thought, looking out the kitchen window.

Miranda walked inside quietly, seeing her friend in the state she was in, made her feel even worse...

"Em..?" she said, calling attention to herself a bit, sighing softly, looking to her with great concern, stepping closer to her friend "Em..."

"What?" Emily whispered, not looking at her, her eyes closing tightly for a moment.

Mi walked over to her and embraced her in a hug "I'm a big jerk... A big asshole... That's what..." she said softly.

Emily gave a long shakey breath "Understatement... Barricade came at me exactly like that guy in his Sunfire did when I was in that car accident with my grandmother. It was likely that, one more second before we got hit... I could've died... I could've gotten hit directly head on..."

Miranda stopped hugging her "Well... I'll understand if you don't forgive me for this... But, I am really sorry... That was all my idea... And I hate that I tend to do things before I properly think through them..."

Emily looked at Mi, her eyes red from almost crying "I get that you didn't think it through... So, I forgive you... But I... I really want to be alone right now..."

"Alright..." Miranda said before she walked out of the farmhouse with a sigh, walking toward the Quonset.

Emily went to lay down on the couch in the living room once she left.

When Miranda got to the Quonset and walked inside, she sighed shakily, hugging Megatron's leg without a word.

"How is the female?" he questioned, looking to Miranda.

"Not good. I'm such an ass..." she muttered.

Megatron patted Mi's head lightly "Did she not forgive you?"

"She did... But that doesn't mean I don't still feel awful about it..."

Megatron tucked a claw under her chin, pushing her face to look up at him "If she has forgiven you, then what is is there to feel awful about? She forgave you for the scare, so she will be fine soon enough... Though, she will most likely hold great hatred for Barricade for some time..."

Mi looked to the side with a slight blush "I've never seen her that upset... And the fact that I've caused her to be in such a state, makes me feel totally mindless of others' feelings... I didn't know she would react like that, and I had no idea that she had been in a car accident so long ago..." she stated, still feeling quite guilty.

"Precisely. She has never told you that she had been in a car accident, and you didn't know she would react that way. There was no way for you to know... Forgive yourself, she has already forgiven you." Megatron stated, in a tone that was a bit softer than she was used to hearing.

She looked up at him with a monotone look "Why are you being so nice to me..?"

"The war is over... I find it is time to finally gain some friends... Not subordinates."

She looked off to the side with a blush "Would you want to settle down with someone..?"

"If I should find a femme that I should enjoy being in company with... it is likely, yes."

She pulled away and nodded, but soon turning around so he couldn't see her face.

"Do you enjoy my company?" she asked, a bigger blush burning on her face.

Megatron suddenly transformed, and brought up his holoform in front of her. He was fairly tall and well built. His eyes were a blood red, his hair long, just going past his shoulders, and having a grey-like color, much like the color of his armor. His skin was a decent shade of peach-ish white that didn't appear too pale, but having a gentle grey tint to his skin that made him seem a bit more sinister.

"You are asking many questions questioning my personal life, Miranda..." he took her face in his hands, her eyes locking with his "Even so, you are the first human that I have actually enjoyed being in the company of..."

Miranda blushed even deeper, her whole face red, shy. She was unable to move, speechless, her heart pounding out of her chest.

Megatron pulled her closer to him, bending down, and pressing his lips firmly to hers.

She was shocked, so overly so that she stood there with her eyes wide for a moment. But she soon felt herself melt into the kiss, her eyes narrowing before falling shut, growing limp.

He moved one hand to cradle her head, his fingers intertwined with her hair, his other arm wrapping firmly around her waist and pulling her against his chest as he continued to kiss her.

She let out a soft mewl whenever he pulled her closer and cradled her head, surrendering utterly and completely to his touch and kiss, her cheeks a deep shade of red.

He pushed his tongue through her lips, causing Mi to gasp slightly within the kiss, wrapping her arms gently around his neck as he fully tasted her.

He was soon finished and pulled back, looking to her with a smirk, noticing the dark blush on her face. She slid her arms and hands down his chest from where she had them wrapped around his neck, shyly looking off to the side... She thought she was going to pass out.

Megatron smirked "Did you enjoy that, my human?"

Miranda could only continue to blush darkly and look up at him, her voice seemingly stolen away.

This caused him to chuckle slightly, caressing her cheek, feeling the heat radiating from it.

She could swear her cheeks went a couple of shades darker, if that was even possible...

Megatron finally unwrapped his arm from around her.

"You should really work out a better response to a kiss, especially if you ask questions like the ones you did..."

"I uhm... Yeah... It was... Amazing. I... I'm just... not used to this..." her blush continuing to linger, glancing from side to side shyly, looking to him every once in awhile.

"Well you should get used to it... Because you're mine now."

She continued to blush, looking up at him a bit startled before continuing to glance side to side in a shy manner once more.

"You're... You're not... Joking..? You're... Serious?" she asked, a bit skeptical, yet, with slight hope woven in her tone as well.

Megatron let his holoform disintegrate before transforming back into his robot form, looking to her as she turned around to face him.

"I don't joke." he smirked sexily.

Miranda looked at him, continuing to blush, yet, a soft smile appearing on her face as she looked into his optics "I can't believe this..." she said in awe.

Megatron sat down, leaning against the wall again, patting the top of the female's head with a slight smile.

She couldn't help but smile! Her blush had died down a bit, only blushing gently now, a couple of tears coming from her eyes unknowingly out of elation and happiness.

Megatron frowned at this slightly "Why are you... crying?" he questioned, using a claw to tilt her face up to look up at him.

Mi blinked slightly before blushing and laughing slightly as she finally registered the tears running down her face, wiping the tears away and laughing a bit more "It's... It's nothing... I'm just getting overemotional..."

"It is not 'nothing' if you are crying..." he murmured, tilting his head ever so slightly in confusion.

She looked up at him with a smile "Don't worry about it. I'm fine, really." she reassured.

Megatron brought his hand back, nodding slightly "Very well, if you believe that is so..."

Mi hugged his leg "Thanks for helping me to feel better, Megatron..."

He nodded, smiling ever so slightly "You're welcome, Mi..."

Miranda sighed happily, kissing his leg gently with a slight blush before starting to pace around inside the Quonset for a little while, giving Emily some time to settle more.

Soon enough, she peeked out of the Quonset and looked toward the house, frowning slightly when she didn't see Emily.

"I hope Em's had enough time alone... I don't know if I can take not hugging her for another minu-"

She stopped mid-thought whenever she saw something out of corner of her eye in the forest that caught her attention. When she turned to see what it was, she froze slightly, seeing a large dark figure, just as tall as the rest of the Transformers. Crimson optics stared at her intently as she stared back in slight shock. She could swear the figured looked very similar to Optimus in it's silhouette...

Though, as soon as she blinked, the dark figure with blazing crimson optics, vanished.

She rubbed her eyes and looked out toward the forest again, but not seeing anything.

She mentally sighed "Great... Now I'm seeing things..."

Emily then came walking out of the house, sliding down the railing of the porch, and landing on the grass. She felt alot better now.

She stretched slightly as she walked toward the Quonset, where Mi was most likely located, absentmindedly scratching the back of her head.

When Mi looked up from her thoughts, she noticed Emily approaching the Quonset. Though, not knowing whether to run and hug her, or wait for her to hug her first. She looked to Emily with conflicting emotions.

When Emily was closer, she spotted her, smiling slightly. She opened her arms as if to say "Hug?" once she was closer to her.

"Hey... I'm sorry I freaked out earlier. I'm okay now... I just needed to clear my head..." she stated, causing Mi to run up to her and practically glomp her in a hug.

Miranda smiled widely and hugged Emily close "You're sorry?! I'm the one that's sorry!"

Emily grinned "Apology accepted! I have to admit, now that I look back on it, that was shit ass scary, but totally funny. I totally panicked, but, all is good now!"

Mi chuckled slightly and pulled away from the hug.

She suddenly began to bounce up and down excitedly with giddy giggles of joy, her hands holding Emily's as he bounced.

Emily laughed slightly and was about to ask her what got her in such a good mood, but didn't really get the chance.

"Holy shi-!" she yelped, as she was suddenly dragged into the Quonset.

"Emily~, Meet my Lord and Master~. Lord and Master, meet my Sister and Best Friend~." Miranda smiled when they came to a stop in front of Megatron.

"Uh... Hi, Megatron..." she greeted a bit awkwardly, looking up at him and waving slightly.

Megatron nodded in acknowledgement "Hello Emily... I take it you are no longer angered at Miranda?"

She raised an eyebrow "I was never really mad at her... I just have a grudge against Barricade now..."

Megatron chuckled slightly in response.

Miranda laughed and looked to Emily with a smirk and a slightly raised eyebrow.

"You're totally missing the point to this visit." she grinned "Megatron says I belong to him now~. Therefore, he is mine~." she said, hinting the fact that they were 'going steady'.

Emily looked at her in disbelief "No way..." she glanced at Megatron "Are you serious?"

Mi giggled and smirked at Megatron "Well Megatron~ Are you~?"

"She will forever be mine, and mine alone. Got a problem with that fleshling?" Megatron smirked.

Mi giggled madly at Emily's stunned reaction for a moment.

Emily then looked to them both, and then looked to Mi.

"I get you're going back home sometime soon... but DAMN! You work fraggin' FAST!" she laughed.

Megatron blinked slightly. He hadn't exactly expected that reaction from her...

Miranda laughed "Well~ You know how impatient I can be~."

Emily grinned "Indeed~."

Miranda looked to them both "And now that we have established that he and I are going steady~ I will now go and pester my favorite Screamer~. Later~!" she said, practically running out of the Quonset with a slight skip in her step.

Emily and Megatron looked to each other, Emily giving Megatron a symbol of insanity by circling one finger around her ear for a moment before shaking her head with a slight sigh.

"Well, talk to you later, Megatron..." she murmured before walking out of the Quonset.

Miranda ran up to Starscream and hugged his leg, one of her legs up in the air behind her in happiness.

"Screamy~!" she greeted happily.

Starscream looked down at the female "What is it, Miranda?"

She could only giggle happily in response, humming a slight tune in-between giggles as she nuzzled him in utmost happiness.

Starscream raised an optical ridge at this "Miranda? Fleshling?"

"Hmmm~?"

"What has gotten you so happy?" the Seeker questioned curiously.

"Megatron is mine and mine forever and ever amen~." she said happily.

Starscream blinked rapidly "Megatron is going steady with a human? Never would have imagined it..."

Miranda jumped away from him epicly and pointed at him with a smirk "Well strap on them believin' pants Screamy! Cuz it's the TRUTH~!"

Starscream glanced at Barricade "You are indeed very happy... And one strange female..."

She smiled a catlike smile "Now all I need is a cape~ And a nice crown~." she looked to the two with a thoughtful hand under her chin as she smirked deviously "And I wonder who Megatron will choose to be the best mech if we end up gettin' married~." she said before laughing "If you end up carrying the ring Scream, I'll laugh my ass off~."

Starscream's optics widened, and then he frowned "As happy as I am for you, Miranda... Slaggit, do you want to annoy me female?"

She laughed "A little~."

The Seeker rolled his optics "Slaggin' female..."

Miranda then looked up at him with large hopeful eyes "Can I sit on your shoulder~?" she said innocently "Pleeeeeeeaaaaaase~?" she begged.

Starscream soon picked her up and placed her on his shoulder "Be glad you're Megatron's now, female... Otherwise I would not be doing this..."

She smirked "Yeah ya would~ Cuz you love me~." she giggled.

He rolled his optics "Believe what you want, Miranda..."

Miranda looked to Barricade with a questionable look "What about you Cade~? You love meh~?" she grinned.

"You are an interesting female, I'll give you that." Barricade smirked.

She smirked and looked to Starscream "See~? So why don't you just admit that you do~ And you'll maybe... POSSIBLY, have less pranks pulled on you in the future Screamy~." she said with an evil grin.

"He said nothing more than telling you that you were interesting..." he said raising an optical ridge "Which you are, seeing as you've done so much..." he muttered.

She smirked deviously "Believe what you want, Screamy~." she said, pinning his own words on him.

Starscream rolled his optics "How witty of a response... I'm impressed..." he commented sarcastically.

"You should be... You very well should be~." she said with a triumphant grin.

Starscream could only sigh as Miranda chuckled at his reaction.

She leaned back slightly with a relaxed sigh as she sat on his shoulder.
