(Knockout POV)

After I walked away from Dragonfly and turned the corner I started thinking. 'Whats wrong with me? Why do I like her? This makes no sense!'

I walked to my room, went in, and walked over to the washroom. I had a sick feeling in my stomach and it wouldn't go away. After a while of writing pointless reports to StarScream and Breakdown finally going into recharge, I still felt sick. It was like a sickness that I've never felt before and it got ten times worse around Dragonfly.

I laid down on my berth, but I couldn't get myself to go into recharge. I got up and sneaked out the door. It was about 0130 so I was careful to be quiet. I had planned on just walking around but when I reached Dragonfly's room, I felt compelled to knock.

'Don't knock.' I reached my servo out and tapped it against the door. 'What did you do? No! Why did I knock?' The door slid open. "Can you read minds? Because I was just looking for something to do." she said. I shrugged and forced myself not to smile.

"C'mon in. Why are you up?" she said as she sat cross-legged on her berth. She patted the spot next to her and smiled. "Oh, you know, the usual."

"Which is?"

"Writing pointless reports on nothing to StarScream."

"Cool. Hey, wanna play a game? My friend ShineArrow taught me. We have to come up with a nickname for everybot on the ship."

I considered it for a moment and finally agreed,"Alright. Who do we start with?" I walked over and sat down next to her. She smirked and replied,"Each-other." Well scrap. "For you I would say... DocKnock." she started. "I had an account on TheMainframe back home. Lets see if you can guess my username."

"Ok... I don't know. This is a hard one." I stated. "Ok, I'll tell you. XLR8. I was always the fastest at fixing things. Did you have an account?"

"I didn't go on much."

"Ok, let me guess your username... I'm going with,'Mr.AlwaysShiny.'"

"Frag no! It was,'TheBufferOfDeath.'"

She threw her helm back and exclaimed,"Oh yeah! You were the one always posting stuff about your, and I quote,'scrap heap of a job!'" I smirked and mumbled,"That job was scrap."

"Humm?" she looked at me. "Nothing, I was just thinking about my old job." We just sat there in silence looking at each other for a few moments but it wasn't weird it was... what's that other thing? That thing where everything is just the opposite of wrong, it's amazing, and it's exactly what you wanted? It was perfect.

I stared into her optics until realizing that they weren't completely blue anymore. They were mainly blue but in the very edges they were a very faint red.

"What's wrong?" Dragonfly asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Nothing."

"Really? 'Cause it looks like something's wrong."

I stood up and replied,"Nothing's wrong, alright?" I walked out of her room and waited for her door to close. I could hear her muffled words through the door,"Why am I so stupid!? I have to mess up and now not even Knockout wants to hang out with me. I thought something happened between us that day when we were in the top of the ship. Well, if there was something, I slagged it all up!"

She continued speaking but she spoke softer so I couldn't hear. Still, I stood there not knowing what else to do, and after a moment or two I heard sobbing. I opened that door and waked in. Dragonfly was sitting on her berth with her arms hugging her legs and her helm resting on her knee joints. She looked up at me and quickly wiped the Energon from her eyes.

"Um, hi. Sorry, I just..." she sighed.

I took her servo in mine and pulled her off of her berth. We walked out the door, down the halls, and out up to the top of the ship. I looked at her and she smiled. "Stalker," she giggled. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

She walked to the edge and closed her optics. Then she opened them and pointed to a nearby planet. "Nothing. No living beings."

"There are bound to be those planets out there."

"No. Not this one. This one had life, it had so much life. But something happened." I walked over to her and put my servo on her shoulder plating. Nothing needed to be said. Nothing was said. We just stood there.

"I never saw you as a romantic, Knockout." StarScream said. I whipped around to face him. What could I say now? "Yet I always saw you as a spy." Dragonfly spoke up. StarScream looked shocked and took a step back. "I'm sorry." Dragonfly whispered and walked away.

'Well, that was short lived.' I thought. "So, Knockout," StarScream started. "Should I embarrass you in front of the entire armada? Or maybe I should tell everyone personally one by one, watching your faceplate as you wish I would just fire you out of an airlock."

'I need a witty comeback! Um... I can make his plan backfire on him somehow... Got it!' I smirked and dared to speak against The Great and Powerful Lord StarScream,"And why would you care even if I did have feelings for her? Jealous much? And how do you have one of those weird paradox charms? Maybe there's something between you and Dragonfly."

The backfire was a success, but strangely enough, Screamy didn't deny that he had feeling for Dragonfly. He just pouted and walked back into the warship. 'Well, I can use that against him later.' I thought. 'But for now, I need to make sure that Dragonfly is alright.'

(StarScream POV)

Knockout smirked. "And why would you care even if I did have feelings for her? Jealous much? And how do you have one of those weird paradox charms? Maybe there's something between you and Dragonfly." I was about to slap that smirk off if his faceplate but I got a message on my comm.

=="Lord StarScream, the prisoner is escaping."==

Ugh, Steve. I walked down into the ship and answered,

=="What prisoner? There are no prisoners in this ship!"==

=="HELP! EXPERIMENT Z IS GOI- AHHH!"==

The Vehicon's comm stopped transmitting. I walked into the bridge and saw SoundWave. "Can you track Steve's last known location?" SoundWave nodded yes.

We found Steve and a few other Vehicons outside the "Big Room of Abandoned Experiments" as I like to call it. The Vehicons weren't beat up, just chained to the wall. "How did this happen?"

"The experiment escaped and it seemed to be at its best."

"What experiment?"

"ShockWave's abandoned one, sir."

"Ugh, which one?"

"The latest."

My optics grew wide and I took a step back. "The one infused with Dark Energon?"

"Yes, sir."

Even SoundWave took a step back. "Well where is it?!"

"We... don't know, sir."

"Idiots! Do you even know what it looks like?"

"It looks as it always did, except it's optics glow a brighter purple and its hair looks like a purple flame."

I walked in the opposite direction and one of the Vehicons called,"Sir? Can you help us get out?"

"Oh, you'll figure something out eventually." I smirked.

As I walked the halls searching for the experiment I bumped into nine other then the former Autobot. "Hello. Listen, I'm sorry about me and Knockout, I can tell him that it won't work out, or whatever." I rolled my optics. 'Femmes.' I thought. I walked past her before saying,"An old experiment of ShockWave's has escaped. Send Knockout to the bridge as soon as possible."

"O-Ok..."
