chapter 3

                                    

                                          
Unknown POV
                          
I woke up somewhere warm cozy.
                          
"Where am I? I know that the pod was cozy but not that cozy." I thought to myself. I looked around and saw that I wasn't in the pod. The ceiling was high. Really high in fact. My audio receptors then picked up something or someone snoring.
                          
The bot snoring was just like sire. I gasped. Could it be that all the things that happened was just a bad dream? I quickly stood up and looked around the room. The walls were dark and there was barely any furniture. 
                          
This isn't papa's room. I guess it wasn't a nightmare after all. My audio receptors heard snoring again. I looked over to where the sound was coming from and saw a tall silver bot lying on a berth. When I looked closer, I saw that the bot's frame was slender and the pedes were shaped like high heels. 
                          
The bot is a femme? Maybe she can help me. I thought. I tried grabbing the edge of the crib but I slipped and ended up falling on my back. A few tries later, I finally got hold of the edge and pulled myself out. Just then, the femme bot started to stir.
                          
Oh no she's waking up!  and I lost my grip and fell back down. I quickly sat up and watched as the tall femme stood and looked around the room as if she was looking for something. She then walked towards a table and picked up an energon cube. The  femme bot walked back to my crib and stared at me. I stared back at her crimson optics. 
                          
Starscream's POV 
                          
Creaking. I woke up hearing a creaking noise, but I chose to ignore it and go back to recharge. This continued for a while and it started to get quite annoying. I started to stir and my sleep. Since I wasn't going back to sleep any time soon, I stood up and looked around the room to see where the noise was coming from. I looked  at the crib where the sparkling was. 
                          
Maybe she's the one making the noise. I thought. I shrugged it off and made my way over to a small table. I picked up and energon cube and walked back to the crib. I stared at the little femme's sapphire optics while she stared back at mine. Just then, the doors to my quarters opened up. I didn't bother to see who it was and continued our little "staring contest". 
                          
"Sorry to interrupt your little game, screamer, but don't you have a sparkling to take care of?" I quickly turned around and saw knockout standing by the door way with a smirk on his face. "It seems you and the sparkling  are getting along quite nicely. Seeing that you're already playing with her so early in the morning." 
                          
"Uh...I-I um...Knockout what are you doing here?! You should be at sick bay!" I heard a giggle coming from the sparkling. I turned around and saw her smiling at me me. Her big blue eyes staring back at mine. Her face so full of innocence. No-snap out of it starscream, I scolded myself while turning away from her. She is just going to be another soldier nothing more. I looked back at the little femmeling sighed. Oh who am I kidding, i'm starting to have feelings for this sparkling. I took the cube and put the energon through a filter. I then put it in a bottle and walked back to the crib. I gave it to the little femmeling and to my surprise, she it held by herself. Once she was done, she took the bottle out of her mouth and smiled at me again. 
                          
"Well starscream, it looks like someone likes you already." Knockout said. 
                          
"Yes it would seem so." I picked her up and held her in my arms while walking out the room. Just then it hit me. "Knockout. I need you to get her a new paintjob. Her current one is dull and it looks like its fading." I told him.
                          
"No problem, Starscream. Paintjobs are my specialty." He said with a smirk. "Speaking of which, did you give the femmeling a suitable designation yet?" 
                          
"Not yet, i'm still thinking of one. I couldn't find a right one for her though." I looked at the sparkling in my arms. She looked back at me with curious  sapphire optics."Sapphire, That's it."
                          
"Come again?" 
                          
"I'll name her Sapphire, Knockout." I told him.  
                          
"Alright then, let's got to work."  I nodded and followed him to sick bay. I laid Sapprire on the medical berth and patted her head. She laughed and grabbed my servo. she looked at it for a moment then looked at one of her servos. 
                          
"Hmm? What's the matter little one?" I asked. Sapphire looked back at me and held out her little servo in front of my face. What's she trying to tell me? I thought to myself. 
                          
"Same..."  I gasped. Now I get it, she's comparing her servo with mine. But my digits are claw like how is it the same as Sapphire's? I asked myself. When I looked a bit closer at  her servo, she had little claws as well. No wonder. Not only is she a seeker, but she has claw like digits like me. My little Sapphire will surely be a great ruler of the decepticons. 
                          
"Well Starscream, it took some time but I finally found some paint that would surely fit little Sappire." I was snapped out of my thoughts when knockout came out of the rooom holding three paint cans. He walked over to the medical berth and placed them beside Sapphire. 
                          
"Alright then get to work knockout." 
                          
"Well aren't we a little bossy today." He said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and walked to the side where Knockout put the paints. There was sapphire blue, black and  silver. 
                          
"Alright Sapphire stay still for uncle Knockout alright?" Uncle? I really need to check their break times. I watched as Knockout pulled out a spray brush and started to work on her armor. "Once I'm through, you will look absolutely beautiful!"

(10 minutes later) 
                          
It took a while but Knockout was finally able to finish painting Sapphire's armor. He could've finished earlier if she hadn't been wriggling and laughing all he time. But I must admit she did look beautiful, as Knockout put it. He was now covered in the three colors that he painted Sapphire in an was now throwing a tantrum about his "Precious" painjob. I walked over to Sapphire, who is now laughing at the angered Knockout, and stood next to her. She looked up at me and smiled. Her armor was sapphire blue with a few black and sliver linings on her helm.  I picked her up and headed up out of sick bay. 
                          
"And where do you think you are going?" knockout asked still a bit angry. 
                          
"I'm going to go back t-" I was cut off when Megatron called through the speakers.
                          
Starscream!!!! Come to the bridge immediately. And bring the child along with you. 
                          
"So much for going to wherever your going hmmm screamer?" Knockout said and even though i have my back faced toward him, I could tell he was smirking.
                          
"Shut up, Knockout."  I ordered. This was going to be a long day.
