I'm back, and so are the Blitzwing brothers and the Starscream siblings. This is the Random/Dirge chapter. I hope you enjoy it

I don't own Transformers.

"Vhen are zey coming?" Random asks Icy for what must have been the twentieth time in the past five minutes. Icy sighs and says "zey'll be here in just a minute. Vut Random, please try to keep jour music down."

"Aw, vut ve can't dance to quiet music…" Random pretends to whine, while smiling and dancing to imaginary music. But Hothead grabs his younger brothers' arm to stop his dancing and says "Zhat is exactly vhy ve vant zhe music quiet." "Vut I'm so bored." Random whines for real this time.

Icy goes to his younger brother and says "Jou need to be patient, remember, good zhings come to zhose who vait." Random frowns and stands still, doing his best to be patient. But about fifteen seconds later they hear the door knocking. Random dashes to the door and says loudly "Vow, being patient veally pays off."

Hothead groans, he and Icy follow their brother. Random and Dirge soon come skipping up to them.

"Look" Random says to his brothers, laughing "ve're skipping" "Yeah," Dirge adds, "and it was my idea." The two boys go skipping off again, but now they have Sunstorm skipping off after them calling out "You two are the most wonderful skippers that I've ever seen." Icy shakes his head and goes to join Slipsteam in their reading room.

When the three boys got tired of skipping they went into Randoms room and looked at his musical collection, trying to decide what they want to listen to. Dirge grabs on of the cd's and says "I say we listen to this one" "Oh, a wonderful choice brother, you really do have a great taste for music." Sunstorm praises. Random laughs and says "I love zhat music, its fun."

But before they can turn the music on, Dirge see's a black and red thing on Random's bed. Dirge goes over and picks it up and says "What's this?" Random turns to look and see's Dirge holding up his mask. "Ooh, Zhat's my fun mask"

Dirge looks at Random with an irritated look on his face and says "You mean it's my fun mask."

"Huh?" Random questions, "Vhat are you talking about? Zhat's mine." And he reaches over and grabs the mask and tries to pull it away from Dirge, but he just pulls back. Soon the two boys are having a tug-of-war battle for the mask, each of them pulling as hard as they can.

Sunstorm was just watching them, not knowing which person to side with, so settles with saying "I think the mask would look awesome on both of you"

The two eleven year olds give one more tug on the mask, pulling as hard as they can, but both end up falling backwards as a loud crack broke through the room.

Dirge sat up and smirked when he could feel that he was still holding the mask in his hands. Ha, he had won that little scuffle, and his proof was right here in his hands. His…half a mask? Dirge looked down at this half a mask in his hands, shocked, he looked up and saw Random looking at the other half mask with a stunned look on his face, which turned to despair quickly, he looked like he was about to cry or something.

Dirge felt a funny feeling in his stomach; he started to say slowly "Random, I…" But Random suddenly dropped what he had of his mask and ran out of the room, screaming for his brothers.

Dirge stared at the now broken mask, then he picked up both pieces and bolted out of the room as fast as he could…he needed to get out of the house before Hothead found out anything. Dirge was only barely out of the house when he heard Hothead yelling from inside, he clutched the mask closer to him and ran faster, praying that Hothead wouldn't come after him.

Finally he had to slow down to catch his breath, he was a good distance away from the house though, and thought that he would be safe.

"That was a brilliant escape" Said someone who was standing just behind Dirge. Dirge yelled out and jumped back, then calmed down when he realized that Sunstorm had followed him.

"What do you want?" Dirge asked his younger brother. Sunstorm looked at Dirge and said "I wanted to know what you are planning on doing with the mask" Dirge looks back at the mask and sighs "I have no clue what I'm going to do"

Sunstorm sits on the ground and says "The way I see it, you have two options…"

"I know" Dirge says quietly, "But neither of them feels quite right…"

A few days later, Icy and Hothead were still attempting to get Random to cheer up. Usually he was very happy and energetic, but he does have those moments where he just wants to sit around and mope. Ever since he broke and lost his mask, all he did was sit in the corner and stare at the wall distantly. His brothers were starting to get worried about him.

When they heard someone at the door Icy went to go answer it…and it's a good thing he did, because if it was Hothead or Random then their visitors would have been attacked by them.

When Icy opened the door he saw Sunstorm standing there looking quite pleased, and Dirge who looked like he would rather be anywhere else.

"Hey Icy, can we talk to Random?" Sunstorm says, sounding sort of nervous. "Ja, I vill get him" Icy says, thinking it's better that Random came here then them to go to him.

Once Icy had left, Dirge starts to fidget and he says "I don't think I can do this." Sunstorm looks to his older brother and takes his hand, saying "Of course you can, you're strong enough to do this."

"Vhat do jou vant?" The brothers turned and saw that Random had joined them, and he still seemed really upset about what had happened.

Dirge looks at Random, and then looks down at the ground as he holds out something toward his friend and says "This is yours"

Random looks and see's that Dirge is giving him back his mask…completely fixed. Dirge says quietly "I-I'm sorry that I took this, I know how much it means to you."

Random is pretty stunned, "Jou're, giving this back to me?"

"Yeah, just as long as you keep on being my best friend." Dirge says shyly.

Random suddenly hugs his friend, surprising Dirge quite a big. "Of course I'm still jour best friend." Random says. Random takes the mask and goes and puts it on the table, he then runs back to his friends and grabs both of their hands, dragging them off to go play with him.

Dirge and Sunstorm smile, glad that it had all worked out all right.

Yay, Dirge and Random are friends again, along with Sunstorm. This little story seemed to be mostly about Dirge, but that's cool. The next chapter is about Hothead with Thundercracker and Skywarp. Then there's Icy with Slipstream and Ramjet. I haven't thought of a short story for poor Starscream and Thrust yet, if you have any ideas or suggestions I would love to hear them.

Please review.
