Question no. 4

Number 6 was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping?

Me: I would have made Starscream shade me with his shadow. Who the heck would want to be a roasted human on his ever so heated frame?! Be my guest though, you hadn't experience it yet like how I did. He's hot… *coughs*

The trip back to the base was eventful enough to tire me out while me and Nimbus bonded the same way I imagine me and her doing. This is really a dream-freaking-come-true for me. Who the heck would not agree with me at this point of time in my life! I'm not saying that I'm already old though but I should be to dream of things like this.

If you ask of what happened to the conversation that went between me and Nimbus in our long ride... Well, she had done the deal we made after gathering all her courage per my coaxing. All I saw after that was stars when the two soon fell into a happy stasis in front of her as she cried out in shock.

I had laughed my aft out as Nimbus then turned to me in distress while leaking out lubricants from her optics. She pleaded for me to stop laughing and help her out with her happy-induced mechs. I couldn't stop laughing as the sight was just too good to be true. My sparkling was crying in distress for something not really life threatening, muttering out that she should have not done it and even blamed me for making her do it.

It was freaking amusing even more as Ratchet came running in panic and tripped when Nimbus clumsily tried to give way for the medic but end up tripping him into the pile. Primus, I could have died laughing even more as I lost control of breathing and my eyes started to water.

Optimus and Ironhide joined the fun. The weapon specialist has his cannons on as he entered much to my amusement before he did a freaking split when he slipped from the puddle that my sparkling made. The cannon shot at the roof and soon, it all caved in. It was too late for Optimus to utter his concern with a raise servo. Everything came down in one hit and I didn't really care if I die now.

I woke up later in the medbay with Nimbus crying in front of Ratchet who tried (and failed miserably) to make her stop. Even as she was given some energon to rehydrate, it would soon come out from her optics and repeating the process.

Shaking my head and relieving the medic from his misery, I called out to the femme who shot up immediately to freaking tackle me flat to the berth. I was swift enough to dodge as Ratchet caught me from my fall.

She embarrassedly apologized and we talked about what happened. Sadly, my newly bought cam was destroyed but the video was still saved! The memory card was salvage as she gave it to me for later viewing. She was not that embarrassed anymore but from how blue her cheeks were, I have known to trust the latter.

Soon, I was greeted by the twins too who came to see their soon to be bonded. I warned them about the things I don't want to happen and they immediately came denying that they would do them. As long as they don't then I would trust them… that was my conclusion.

I was smothered by them in a group hug though I was practically a human. It still feels so right to be there. I love my creation so much. Then, after that hug, we were thrown out of the medbay and I was ordered to get my daily nourishment. Ugh. Food.

Ignoring the thought but not wanting to anger the medic, I went to the cafeteria only to get tackled with questions here and there. Will was the first one to break them up and gathered me in his arms to give a hug. Okay… Daddy William to the rescue… I should consider telling Nimbus that she has a grandfather in the name of the soldier.

"Dream, I'm glad you are alright..." Will greeted as he released me to fall on my rear. Oh Primus... I feel like my dad had just realized something important and had decided that it was high time to worry about me.

"She is far from alright, Will... She has dehydration, exhaustion, malnutrition and many others... I am amazed that she didn't crash from the fright you gave her." Ratchet spoke from behind me as the sensation of being scanned washed over me again. The medic picked me up then and went into a deeper exam. Now I was thinking that if ever my mother decides to do what the medic does, I would so be out of the house in mere minutes.

Don't worry, I don't hate my parents but if ever they decide to break their routine and shock me with the change, I would likely go into coma as my brain would ask if they were still thinking straight.

"Hi guys... it is good to see you too..." I smiled at all of them and got greeted too many times to count with me replying with I am fine, alright, good and okay... again and again… Rawr… I don't even remember what their names all are! I have a lagging memory so I need to have them repeat it over and over too.

Ordering a full meal before resting with the other soldiers, I sat eating in contemplation. I was to report to Optimus later and yeah... big bots with their soft sparks, I am sure that he would ask me how I was doing and how do I feel. This made me wonder about Paramount and Metroplex that Nimbus had said to be left in recharge when a portal sucked her in.

In the cafeteria, everything was buzzing with life here and there as soldiers joked and ate the same time, bonding with fellow workers. Soon, the dreaded question entered the consciousness of all the soldiers around me as the topic fell towards this girl. They asked me on how in the name of the Allspark, I had managed to escape the Cons...

Starscream was the one tasked to keep an eye on me that day. I was happy that I got the chance to spend time with each mech that would take charge but I think spending time with Screamer was second to best.

Screamer was not as screechy when in battle or when he wanted something and didn't get it. When with me, I was the slave, always being tasked to wipe his frame and make it shiny. I complied every time that my appointed guard would demand it, thinking that it was better than having to sit around and staring at nothing for the rest of the day.

Starscream was also a talkative mech... although I noticed that all the topics he lets out were more on curses and whines about how he was this... he was that... he was... this was... every topic was full of complaints until I told him to relaxed and take a break.

To my amazement, he asked me where the fragging place should he go to relax when the Autobots are hot on their pedes as well as the flesh bag government.

I thought for a full minute before getting a great idea. It was a weekday, he told me... Weekdays meant that every other person would be busy living their lives...

"I think I know the place to go!" I said enthusiastically.

He just stared at me in annoyance of not saying where but he took me and off we went to the place I had in mind.

It took at least half an hour to get there but it was quite the time since it would have taken me on a domestic airplane about 12 hours to get here... really, when screamer is impatient... even air trafficking rules wouldn't stop him and would bend at his stubbornness.

"Down there, Sir... That's the place!" I happily said as I felt us descend.

When I got out, it amused me that screamer was in awe as he surveyed the place. I know that it wasn't that big and was clearly untouched by mankind but I know that this is the perfect place for someone of unknown origin to spend time on without being noticed.

The sand was cool on out feet... Pedes... and the sun was on its 8 o'clock in the morning place. The breeze was cold and fresh with the scent of salt from the ocean. This is the life~!

I saw Starscream did a scan and confirmed that no life form was on the little island as I thought.

He then sat down on the sand and fixed himself to a comfortable position. Since the sand was still cool... I plop down in a lying position and relaxed. He gave me a look but Star soon followed.

"Polish me again, squishy..." That was all he said before scooping me up into his clawed servo and dumping me on his chassis.

Being startled like that had made my heart beat louder into my ears but it soon faded away as a cloth covered my body from his vision.

Sticking to the routine I had when with him, I complied once again and did the job in the jiffy. He was as far as I can say... relaxed like there was nothing in the world that would trample him. The peace was all that surround us along with the sound of the waves washing to and fro from the shore.

I noticed that the metal was starting to heat so I made a mental note to hasten my movements before I get deep fried here. Sweat was now trailing down my body as my clothes started to stick like skin onto me.

"Ow! ow~!" I jumped off my perch when my feet couldn't bare the heat anymore. I dig it into the cool sand and started to feel the burn fade.

"You aren't finished fleshy!" Starscream suddenly shouted at me but as he was about to grab me again, I dodged and reasoned with him.

"I can't polish you when you feel like a frying pan on large heat, sir..." I told him as respectful as I could. "You also don't want my disgusting excess fluids dripping off of you, would you?" And that did it... He left me at his side as he went back to sun bathing, not wanting his mood to suddenly go bitter.

"Ah... This is the life... This sun bathing you say, is just what I need to relax..." He told me as I plop down beside him. I giggled at the memory earlier with me and him arguing about the topic. It seems I won!

'I told you so' I mentally commented knowing that the seeker wouldn't like it if I would retort something like that.

"I am glad that it is to your liking sir..." I replied as my eyes glinted in amusement when he went into recharge... I also went into a light sleep, under his shadow but not so close so the heat wouldn't be uncomfortable and he can't squish me when he turns.

I stared at the blue sky and drifted off.

"So, Screamer has the decency to not screech at you... but he does when he is in a hyper mood?" Epps mused as I took a bite out of my sandwich. It was my 2nd one as well as my 2nd serving of pasta.

"That mech is loco..." Fig commented as he patted my head like I was a child. I didn't bother to swat it away this time as I was too busy focusing on my sandwich.

"Yeah, he is... but not when you rub him in the right areas..." I commented but not even a second after that, I heard Will choke as Epps laughed hard and Fig said something in a fast Spanish... The other soldiers were also choking with their colonel or laughing with Epps. That is when it had hit me...

"YOU GREEN MINDED PERVS!" I looked at them in horrors as their laughing fit got louder. I could feel my face heating as I grumbled something inaudible about them and green mindedness.

The other Autobots were now present and inquired on what was happening... to my horror... Epps was the only one available to answer them... If the ground could eat me... I was so begging for it right now.

I went into protest but the damage had been done... I was beet red like a sweet tomato when Ratchet stared at me with a glint in his optics making me curse on the wrong timing I had when I had just asked him on teaching me about Cybertronian anatomy... Maybe now, the medic is thinking that I only wanted to learn because of this misunderstanding.

Optimus on the other hand, when I had turned to his direction to ask for help, wouldn't look me in the eye. There goes my one way chance to clarity. It seems that me being so secretive has its perks.

Sunny was cursing, Sides was laughing, Nimbus was in shock, Ironhide had left as his curses echoed at the entrance... as the others... you know what I mean.

"I hate you, Epps..." I glared at the man who choked on his drink when Will slap him in the back hard. The soldier deserves it and it could have been worse than that if I were the one to do it. He should be thankful that I didn't have the fork in my hand and I was steeling myself in not holding onto solid things that can fly.

A repeat like what I did to Megs was not alright because he was human.

"You know that she didn't mean that..." Lennox gave the man his glare too...

"Don't listen to him guys! You got me wrong!" I shouted to the bots and explained to them what I had meant to clear my record... Although I can say that Sunny was cautious now with me... *sigh*... Later, I have to tell him that if he doesn't like me... I won't give them the yes to their wedding no matter how much I like one for them.

"Back to the story though... that doesn't answer on how you got to escape..." Will cleared as we settled again.

"Oh... yeah..." I said but thought about it. I shook my head and smiled at them. "Sorry... but I am going to keep that as a secret also..." I smiled in mischief and went over to the dumpster to throw my empty plate.

I heard some protest but I went straight to my quarters. Thankfully, no body dared to protest since I got the okay from Ratchet to get my rest. Anyone who disturbs me now will have to face his pit-spawned wrench.

Now, this is an update~ It was a long one but I am handling it.
