Things were going great but not for the Seekers. They spend day and night worrying about their exam results which were due to come out the next week on Monday. Skywarp and Thundercracker weren't that worried but when they saw Starscream get worried, they couldn't help but feel uneasy about their exams as well.

Even now, Starscream paced up and down their dormitory, looking at the ground, thinking about his exam. He flinched suddenly as a horrible thought came to his mind: What if you failed, Starscream? And he shuddered. Thundercracker on the other hand, lay on the sofa, looking at Starscream with an uneasy expression and Skywarp twirled a pencil in his hand, nervous.

Thindercracker looked at him for what seemed like ages until finally he decided to break the tension.

"Hey guys!" He said aloud and both turned to look at him so hurriedly that Starscream actually criked his neck saying "Oww!" In a loud, pitchy voice and rubbing his neck. "Sorry..." Thundercracker apologised but Skywarp said "Never mind that! What did you wanna say, Cracker?" He asked, looking at him, forgetting his exams for a bit.

Starscream also looked up eagerly as he watched Thundercracker open his mouth to speak.

"Guys...you should really think about something else! Let's worry about the results the day they're going to come out, okay? Let's just enjoy the days, like we used to okay? Besides...we're the only ones staying in the university instead of going home for the holidays..."

It was true. Besides the teachers, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Starscream were the only ones staying at university (I know...hogwarts style).

"What do you think I've been trying to do?!" Said Skywarp loudly. "But every time I try, Screamer makes me nervous!"

"I make you nervous? Well I'm sorry but I'm not the one who's non serious about their exams!" Screeched Starscream in response.
"I'm non serious?! Who asked for your tutoring so that their exams would pass?!" Skywarp said outragously.

"STOP!!!" Screamed Thundercracker loudly, looking at the both in frustration. "You're doing exactly what I didn't want you to do! You're not taking your minds off of your worry! Let's just- go outside and have some ice cream!"

Starscream and Skywarp were quite for a while before Stracream finally spoke "Yeah...you're right...we should go and have some fun and eat- ice cream".

"Finally something you said makes sense" said Skywarp and with that they walked out of their dormitory to ask permission for going outside.

Outside the head's office
Skywarp and Thundercracker stood in the hallway outside the headmistress' office, waiting eagerly for Starscream as he asked permission for going outside. After about five nanokliks or so, Starscream came outside with a gloomy expression and at once, Skywarp and Thundercracker's smiles faltered.

"She said we don't have permission..." he said and Skywarp's mouth dropped while Thundercracker began to look increasingly depressed.

"Of course we have permission!" laughed Starscream looking at their expressions. He continued "You should look at your faces right now!" At which Skywarp punched him saying "Hey! That wasn't funny" while Thundercracker smiled broadly at being granted permission.

"What are we waiting for then?" Said Thundercracker eagerly. "Let's go!".

They roamed shops though they didn't buy anything, they ate ice cream and roamed a lot until finally their time was up and they had to go back to university.

"That was fun!!!" Exclaimed Thundercracker once they were back in their dorms. "I couldn't agree more!" Screamed Starscream happily as he sat on the sofa. "The ice cream was delicous!" Said Skywarp, sitting next to Starscream. "I'm pretty tired" yawned Thundercracker suddenly as he headed towards their bedroom. "You can sleep whenever you feel like it but I'm going now".

-After one week-
It was their annual result day. Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp stood nervously in front of a huge stage set in the main hall, decked out in red with beautiful decorations all around. They waited in the long queue of people yet to walk on stage to get their results announced.

"You-you think we'll make it?" Asked Skywarp, finally mustering the courage to speak.
"Of course we will!" Starscrean whispered loudly but he didn't believe that he himself would. He quickly cleared his thoughts and turned around to face Thundercracker, who just had his mouth tight shut and was avoiding saying anything as if he would get ill if he did.

"Are you okay Thundercracker?" Asked Starscream.

Thundercracker just nodded vigorously in response and then went back to being still. Starscream wanted to say something to comfort his friends but he couldn't think of anything. He knew why they were so worried this time the exams came around. They were worried because flying had always been their dream and theur families were keeping high hopes from them so they were pressurized. Starscream was pressurized himself though he would never admit it.

After about 10 nanokliks, they were the last ones standing in the queue with Starscream in the front who looked extremely nervous. Finally, his name was announced on the speakers and he walked onto the stage in a somewhat courageous way.

He came to stand next to his teachers and headmistress and looked straight at the crowd. The crowd was surprisingly quiet. Starscream somehow made it to the middle of the stage and stood right next to the headmistress with Thundercracker and Skywarp watching eagerly from the backstage. They gave him a thumbs up to show that it was all going to be okay and Starscream gave them a weak smile in return.

"Starscream-" started the headmistress suddenly and Starscream turned his attention towards her. "-has topped in the whole university!" She said looking at the crowd of people in the audience and at once they all began clapping for him, much to Starscream's awe and surprise.

After that, she gave him a huge trophy and motioned him to join the rest of the audience down below which, he gladly did. "Skywarp!" Was the second name to be announced after Starscream. As Skywarp walked onto the stage Starscream waved at him happily and he smiled a broad smile that is, until he reached the headmistress.

"Skywarp-" she said looking at him sternly and even from that far away Starscream saw him gulp, "You have topped with 97% in your class!"

Skywarp looked simply awestruck. He simply couldn't believe that he had scored 97% let alone passed his exams.

Next was Thundercracker. To his surprise, he had scored a 98%. He walked down quickly and the moment he reached Skywarp and Starscream, he exploded.

"I got a 98%! I got a 98%!" He said loudly and Starscream didn't bother to tell him to pipe down. It was their last day after all.

To Starscream's surprise though, both Skywarp and Thundercracker hugged him tightly. "Thanks!" They both said happily.  Starscream was a bit surprised at first but then said "You're welcome. Besides, it's alright. You're my friends after all".

So, this was the fourth chapter, hope you all enjoyed it! And I know I'm saying this again, but its sooo much fun writing this! This trio is so awesome! I'm just kinda disappointed that Hasbro doesn't pay much attention to these Seekers...Well, the next chapter may come early as I've been write that one for a long time but I can't guarantee that it will arrive early...

Ok, so Allahafiz for now, see you all next time with my new chapter!
