Teach Me How To Feel {Smokescreen}

Chapter 18

"So you don't remember anything at all?", he asked Starlight for the 10th time today. "Negative", she replied. "Requesting reason for the question." Smokescreen sighed as he paced in the back room. "Actually I have an idea", he said ignoring her question and finally thinking of something. "Starlight transform into vehicle mode", he instructed, doing the same himself. "Request granted." She transformed into her car and followed Smokescreen out of the base. "Maybe a little drive will re jog her memory banks."

"So you feeling or remembering anything yet?", Smokescreen radioed over to her. "Negative", she replied. Smokescreen suppressed a sigh since his com link was still open. "Well head east over to that boulder and transform", he said taking a sharp turn. She did the same and they both now stood face to face near a large boulder on the edge of a canyon. "I don't know how I'm going to get you to remember but the least I can do is just try and teach you again", he said taking a seat. He was disappointed, not in the fact that he had to start everything over. It's just that he felt her feelings for him that were there, were now disappearing. Did she still care about him the same? He wiped his face plates with his servo before jumping up. "No use in sitting here and sulking", he said transforming back into vehicle mode. "I have work to do."

The two returned to base were the Autobots were just re arranging things to set room for the new supply of energon. Smokescreen was about to take Starlight to the back room when Arcee stopped him. "Let me talk to her for a minute", she said cutting him off. Starlight transformed and stretched a bit, feeling her neck cables pull slightly. "Listen Star, I know things are different now but I know deep down somewhere in your home made spark, you still love Smokescreen. According to Wheeljack, you were going to take me out for him and that fire can't die just because they rebooted your systems. So just keep an open mind and remember, he's all yours." Arcee nodded quietly before turning around and heading back for med bay. "Love?", Starlight repeated softly. Just then, a few images popped into her mind. One was of Smokescreen standing on top of the silo and the second was of a close up of Smokescreen's face. She was confused at first on what these pictures meant but after analyzing them further she found an answer. They were memory logs. Her mind was created to take mental pictures for her memory log. Whatever Arcee said must have triggered her access to some of these memory logs. "New Mission: Tell Smokescreen of Discovery."
