Braedey Martin: Robots and a Vampire

A Night Together; Blue & Red

(Youkai Academy)
(Dorm Roofs)

The starry night that blanketed the academy for monsters was a sight to behold, even with the barrier hiding the school. Most of the students were too busy watching TV, surfing online, or even oogling adult websites to enjoy the wondrous sight above them.

However, one teen was laying out on the dorm roof, lying on a blanket, like he was on a picnic, gazing up at the stars. Braedey had taken advantage of the only night the skies were clear enough to see the stars. It was on times like this he looked up at the stars, and remembered who wondrous and vast the universe was. As well as how many adventures came from it, not to mention one great adventure in which he learned of the Transformatrix's true design and purpose. And how Alpha Trion said that if anyone could bring the beings of the planet of Cybertron to understand one another, it was him as he used the watch in that way.

He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice anyone behind him until a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck. "Hey... How are you holding up?"

Braedey sighed leaning back into her, seeing Moka kneel behind him. She leaned in smiling, feeling her face next to his. For some odd reason, he felt better with her next to him, she helped to remind him that he still had a friend who could see his world. He smirked to her. "I'm doing okay."

"Good." Moka then jumped over, and laid down next to him, gazing up at the stars.

"Hey!" Braedey, only half protested, being deprived of his alone time, but then conceded, as she scooted over to him.

She slowly reached her hand up, almost tempting to grasp the stars above them. Braedey nearly blushed at the sight, as the star's light nearly shined on her. To him, she really looked beautiful in the light... suddenly; he shook his head of such thoughts. His brain returned to reality, as he realized what he was thinking. He looked away, a bit depressed, as he realized what he was thinking, and knew it to be impossible. After all, she only saw him as a friend...

"I'm really envious of you, Braedey." Moka spoke up, catching his attention as he turned to look to her. "I mean, you've been to a place most people have dreamt about in movies, books, or in their dreams themselves. Even astronauts have only gotten a glimpse and wonder, going only as far as the moon." She turned to look at him, and smiled, though looking rather nervous, as the question came up. "Say, um... Braedey?"

"Yeah, what's up?" Braedey suddenly gulped.

She nervously looked away, looking back up to the stars. "If, um... well, if you ever go on one of your adventures again. And that it involves you going into space..." She then turned to him, and pleaded with a sincere smile on her face. "... do you think I could come along with you?"

That question made the Martin boy shoot up in a seated position, as he looked to her confused. "Moka?"

She sat up too, waving it off as she blushed like crazy, seemingly embarrassed about the question. "Um, well, it's just..." She shook her head, as she smiled, looking back up at the stars. "Well, I guess I'm just curious about what's up there? All those worlds, and beings. It must be amazing to just know you can visit and be a part of all that." She sighed longingly. "I guess... I just want to see what it's like up there myself one day. Not like when we went to Cybertron."

After hearing that, Braedey just had to smirk as he looked up at the stars, and finally answered. "Sure. Why not?" He didn't turn to look at her face, but he could tell that she was deeply surprised, as he finished. "It's not every day you get the chance to go space exploring a new galaxy, much less an unknown universe."
