THAT 10 YEARS LATER MEME D:

Okay, officially? I love this meme to death. I know that some of you have been doing amazing creative things like writing fic and drawing things---I've seen a bunch of it on my flist already.

SO. Can we make this a post to collect all these amazing multiverse things we've been doing? I DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.

The driver simply laughs again and tips his head into the fading sun. Watching other cars slowly pass themas they drive.

"You think so highly of him. I'm terribly sorry you two had to be separated, love. Sometimes those things happen for the better, though."

Off in the distance, the city rises into view.

"You know, it's like the song. You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need!" He pauses thoughtfully, "I don't remember the rest of the song but I suppose that's the important line."

The driver has known for some time now.

"You like music?"

"I don't... I think he is someone I needed, though," he said, softly, almost too quietly for the driver to hear. "I needed..."

Someone to keep my processor straight.

Washington DC is slightly flat, the buildings low to the ground, no taller than two stories for the most part; yet they seem to loom overhead somehow, stark grey facades of concrete. The traffic here is horrible, and so they get a little stuck for a bit. Still... they're getting closer.

"I already told you," he laughs, a little. "I do like music. Particularly techno. Something with a beat... trance is alright too."

"Hm." The man wiggles the radio slightly and manages to pick up on some old dance music.

"Not quite techno or trance... wish this thing had a CD or an MP3 player. This thing is a little obsolete. Only a tape deck, though I guess that kind of gives it a bit of charisma." He chirps cheerfully.

A long stretch passes as traffic clogs the streets and the going is slow. Only the soft music thrums some generic beat.

"You'll get along, Sparky. You keep your chin up and everything will be alright. Y'know in my younger days I wish I had someone to say that to me. It's hard out there, especially alone, but you just gotta keep living for yourself. A smart man once said 'Aim for the moon, because even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars', and you know what? I always liked the stars."

He lapses into silence, closing his eyes and listening to the beat.

"Heh. Tape decks are anything but charismatic," he replied. "But they are very reliable."

There's his stop. He steps down the stairs and onto the pavement when he hears that.

He turned around, his eyes wide. That voice...? No, it can't be... no, there's no way. But...

But that phrase, I...

"Do I... do I know you, sir?"

The driver pauses long enough for Starscream to step down onto the platform, before he slowly takes off the sunglasses.

Years show in his face, creases and lines under his eyes mark the time that has passed in this human body...

But it is unmistakably Skyfire.

"You'll do alright, love. I don't go a day without thinking of you. You were always on my mind."

The doors hiss and begin to slide closed.

"You're the love of my life. I'm only sorry I can't hold you now. Be safe. Live your life, Stars. You'll always be loved." A quiet snap marks the doors locking into place and the bus roars to life, slowly pulling away from the curb.

He still has enough of his wits about him to keep from speaking the words out loud.

Skyfire? he mouths.

He wants to scream it. He wants to screech it out loud, he wants to cry out for him and he can't.

He can't because saying that name will utterly ruin everything he has done.

So he says it silently, mouthing the word, pounding against the glass as the bus starts to pull away.

"No, no, please, don't leave!" he yells, walking, then running alongside the bus. "Please! No, you don't know how long I've looked, how long I've wanted to see you I thought you were dead, again, no, please, god, don't leave me!"

Sky, my open sky, wide and welcome my sky, oh Primus don't go again, Skyfire please...

But the bus picks up speed and he starts running faster, feet pounding on the pavement as he goes, duffel bag banging into his side.

"Stop! STOP! PLEASE, CHARLIE, NO, DON'T GO, GOD PLEASE JUST... just... no..."

He slows down as the bus pulls away, just standing on the curb, feeling stupid, feeling like an utter protoform, Primus why are you being so emotional, you are a leader of Decepticons, you are not this, shut up and stop...

He blames Claire, because at the back of his mind even she's sobbing, and it's like something horrible out of a video, he sinks to his knees on the dirty sidewalk.

"Please..."

... why did I post this when it's out of context and doesn't show how UTTERLY INSANE Starscream's been for the past ten years it seems so weird GDIT TEN YEARS OF CHARDEV ajfaljfldjflsdajfldsajflsdj
