Starscream and Illusion both stood together in StarScream's quarters to talk more privately. The awkward silence was beginning to weigh on their shoulders, crushing them both. Starscream spoke first to relieve the stress. "Sorry I lashed out...." Illusion looks at his direction before speaking. "《Sorry I got you demoted....》" StarScream rubs the back of his helm awkwardly as Illusion rubs her shoulder. "《You can have your position back.》" StarScream's optics quickly dilate as he looks at her. "What? Why -" "《I'm not good at it, and you know it...》" She spoke with a dead tone. Starscream chuckles a bit as smiles. "Thanks, but it's Megatron's decision to make me his second in command again..." Illusion sighs in frustration as she thinks quietly. "《I'll talk to him, no worries...》" StarScream smiles a bit as Illusion does the same. "You're not that bad Illusion. You make a great friend..." StarScream opens his room as Illusion follows him, the words echoing in her helm. They open the door to see KnockOut and Soundwave both talking to each other. "/so you guys made up?/" StarScream and Illusion look at each other and smile. "We're good now." KnockOut does a small clap of celebration as Soundwave does a smile face on his visor. "Good, but...." KnockOut got slapped in the back of his helm by Soundwave. "But what...?" StarScream asked, a hint of fear in his voice. "Everyone heard your little tantrum, and everyone's been talking about you guys. Mainly you, Starscream..." StarScream gulps a bit due to the sudden news as Illusion groans in frustration again. "《I blame those nosy vehicons.》" Everyone agrees. "/let's just ignore the rumors for now anyways. We got jobs to do./" Soundwave and Knockout leave to their posts as StarScream and Illusion walk the opposite direction. "《I should probably tell you that Shockwave has a crush on Soundwave....》" "Oh... wait, what!?" Illusion chuckles as she tells Starscream about what happened earlier outside his room.

As soon as the word spread, the Vehicons were gossiping away about what they heard Starscream say about his feelings about Megatron.

Illusion and Starscream are talking, and Megatron grabs the back of Starscream's neck gently.

“We need to talk. Now.” Megatron lets go of Starscream’s neck, and Starscream follows him.

Illusion was then surrounded by Vehicons who had questions about what he and Megatron were talking about or what Starscream was talking to her about.

Meanwhile, with Starscream and Megatron, they were walking silently down the halls of the ship.

“You heard everything that I said…” Starscream looks at him.“Yes, yes, I did.” Megatron looks ahead and opens his quarters.

As they talk, Illusion opens the door and sees something shocking as her optics dilate. She can't believe what Starscream and Megatron are doing.

“What The…”
