Do you... think that he know my weaknesses? He sound like if it was the case. All the time. That is strange.

To: @moonwing

Megatron scare almost everybody... even Starscream. It is... normal I suppose?

And... I can go inside but... I do not like it. I scare everyone, or almost. It make me incorfortable. Maybe it is the same problem with Megatron, who know?

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

He probably does. Dreadwing is incredibly clever, and very good at analysing people. 

   To: Predaking

I think people just need to get to know you better. It doesn't help that you're treated like a beast when you aren't, but I know that once people realize how good you are, they won't be afraid anymore. 

   To: Predaking

i think megatron likes scaring everyone

To: @moonwing

Know me? No one wants to know me... exept you... And Shockwave, I guess. I am a beast, that is all.

To: @moonwing

Likes scaring? It is possible, but why?

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

That's not true! Dreadwing also values you! 

   To: Predaking

I don't know. I think Lord Megatron does it because he has fun doing it. 

   To: Predaking

brb gotta go dreadwing's here to check on my progress

To: @moonwing

You think? I wanted to kill his brother after all. He probably hate me now.

To: @moonwing

Fun? That is strange? No? I do not know.

To: @moonwing

Ok

[Deleted]

Poor Moonwing! So distracted had she been with texting her friend (as any young bot would be, truthfully) that she hadn't gotten much of her assigned work finished up. Dreadwing hadn't been impressed with her lack of focus, to say the least, but the young seeker was quick to get back to work. 

It wasn't until later on in the night that she was able to text back, however. 

   To: @predaking

ok sorry for disappearing, i'm back now. I don't think I'll be able to come see you tonight, it's already getting late.

   To: Predaking

Do you want to try watching that cartoon now? We could livestream it together!

   To: Predaking

Oh! Also, I think I might be allowed to go flying tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?

To: @moonwing

It was long. You had problems?

To: @moonwing

I...

To: @moonwing

I prefer to watch it with you at my side.

Predaking already "regretted" what he had said. He felt shy.

To: @moonwing

You will fly alone? Dreadwing will not be with you? Or others soldiers?

[Deleted]

To: @predaking

No, no, no problems. Dreadwing wasn't happy because I didn't get all my work done, but I've finished it now so I can text again c: 

To: Predaking

Oh. Okay! That's fine too!

To: Predaking

As far as I know, I'm being allowed to go on my own. It'll be nice to just fly, and not have to worry about doing patrols or battle maneuvers. 

  

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

I think that could be better if you go alone.

To: @moonwing

The first fly alone, without order, is really important. It makes you sure of yourself.

[Deleted]

Moonwing frowned down at the text from Predaking, worry and anxiety bubbling up in her. She had thought that he might like to come with her... Had she said something wrong? She fidgeted for a while, unsure of how to reply, and didn't respond for several minutes.

To: @predaking

I know, I know, i just thought... it would be nice to fly together. 

To: Predaking

I can go on my own though if you don't want to. It's no big deal. 

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

No Moonwing. You do not understand why I refuse I suppose. I will explain.

To: @moonwing

Fly alone for the first time is a fabulous experience. You will can do what you want, without judgment, touch the sky and if you do it during the night, see the stars like you never seen them before. It is a moment unique.

To: @moonwing

Do it alone today. Next time, I will come with you. I promess.

[Deleted]

The seeker thought about his words for a moment or two, her anxiety fading as she started to understand what he meant. 

To: @predaking

I suppose... you're right. 

To: Predaking

Maybe I've gotten too dependent on others. I need to learn to do things on my own, because sooner or later I won't have Dreadwing or you to watch my back. 

To: Predaking

(is it bad that i'm afraid? just a little? i've never gone flying on my own when it wasn't patrols)

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

And I will not always be there too, Moonwing.

To: @moonwing

It is normal to be afraid. You will be for the five first minutes, and after it will be... like a dream. Thrust me.

It was obvious that the dragon loved to fly alone... Touch the cloud, fly high to see the stars better than before, follow the wind and look at the moon. It's a wild life, a wild passion, but also his dream: Be the beast that he really is.

[Deleted]

To: @predaking

I do trust you. I trust you like I trust Dreadwing, because you know more about this than me. It's just...

To: Predaking

I guess I'm not good at being brave, but I'll have to learn to be, though. 

To: Predaking

What was it like the first time you went out flying?

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

Being brave and worry is not the same thing. I think that just stressed to be alone this time, and it is normal.

To: @moonwing

I was... Great. It was also my first fly. It's fuzzy, like all the beginning of my life, but for that I remember, it was... amazing.
