Alright, Icy's turn for a chapter.
Unfortunately, I don't own Transformers…at all, that would rock, but it's not true.
Icy was pacing around his room, trying to decide if he was really going to do this. Today he was going to do something that he'd wanted to do for a long time, but now that he'd finally decided to do it, he wasn't so sure if he wanted to anymore. After a few minutes he made up his mind…he was going to ask her.
Icy walked out of his room and went to go find Slipstream. He passes his brother, Hothead, and Thunder and stops to ask them where Slipstream is. Hothead says "jou're actually going to do it? It's about time…but it's going to end badly for jou." Icy holds up his hands and says "Please, don't say anyzing, not now." Hothead smirks and points to their reading room. Icy thanks his brother and goes to talk to Slipstream.
Slipstream and Ramjet are the only ones in the reading room. Icy would rather have it be just him and slipstream, but he couldn't just tell Ramjet to leave. Icy takes a deep breath and walks up to Slipstream. Once he makes eye contact with her he says "Slipstream, vill jou go out vith me?"
Slipstream looks at Icy for a moment, then switches her gaze to her nails. She says, "I don't know Icy, it depends on how much you want a date. You're going to have to prove to me that you deserve this."
Icy blinks, this was actually going better then he thought it would, "How vould I prove it?" Icy asks. Slipstream thinks about that, then she sees her brother and she smirks. "Just pass this little test of mine, I will just ask one question from you. If you answer it right, then you get your date."
"Vhat's zhe question?" Icy asks, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. This was sounding too easy to be true.
"It's easy," Slipstream answers, "Just tell me how old Ramjet is. That's all; I'll give you 24 hours…good luck." With that she gets up and leaves the room, smiling mischievously. Icy sighs and sits down in a nearby chair. He looks over to Ramjet, who is smiling too, and asks "You're not just going to tell me your age, are you?"
"Of course I will," Ramjet answers. Icy shakes his head, "That's what I thought," he mutters. Getting up and leaving the room. When he passes Hothead and Thunder again, Thunder asks "So, how did it go?" Icy sighs and explains the conditions to them. When he was finished Thunder shrugs and says "You have a better chance then most. She usually publicly humiliates the boy, not giving them a chance at all."
Icy nods slowly and says, "true, and this test isn't really so hard. I can figure out an estimate of his age by observing his behavior."
"So, jou're going to stalk him?" Hothead asks. Icy looks at his brother and says "I vouldn't say it like zhat, but yes, I'm going to stalk him." Thunder looks at Icy and says, "I don't think Ramjet would mind, he would probably find the attention fun…just, don't ask him 'do you mind?' questions, they confuse him."
So for the whole rest of the day Icy followed Ramjet around everywhere, trying to get a clue. It didn't get him anywhere though, Ramjet wasn't giving him anything to work with. That whole day was a complete waste. The next day Icy only had a few hours before he had to answer, and he was no closer to knowing Ramjet's age then he was the day before.
Finally, with just half an hour to go, Icy comes up with a plan. Icy goes to Ramjet and asks him a question; "Ramjet, vould jou mind helping me vith somezhing?" Icy asks quickly. Ramjet opens his mouth to respond, then closes it, thinking. Finally he just walks away. Icy follows, asking Ramjet more questions, all of them 'do you mind?' questions. Finally Icy asks "Vould jou mind telling me jour age?" to which Ramjet blurts out "I'm not older then Starscream or Thunder."
Icy's eyes widen in shock, then he smiles and runs to the reading room, which is where Slipstream always was. Slipstream turns when Icy enters, she smiles wickedly when she see's him and asks "Do you have an answer yet?" Icy takes a deep breath and answers, "Sixteen or seventeen?"
Slipstream shakes her head, "Sorry, you can only guess one number, so, which one will it be?" Icy thinks for a second and says "Sixteen." Slipstream nods and says "That's right, how did you figure it out?"
"I asked him a lot of 'Vould jou mind' questions until he let it slip zhat he vhas older zhen Starscream and Thunder."
Slipstream shakes her head and says "Impressive strategy. Alright, a deal's a deal. I will go out on one date with you, depending on how it goes you may get more. Choose the date carefully." Icy smiles and nods. He turns to leave, but pokes his head back in the room and says "Zhanks," before running off.
Slipstream shakes her head and smiles, thinking "Boys are really quite stupid, but they can be cute if they are determined."
And let's call that a chapter. I'll have the date later, but first, a decision must be made. I have been considering adding in Knockout and Breakdown from Transformers Prime into this story, if you are for or against the idea please say so in a review.
