I guess you’re right and I’m just worried and stressed.

To: Predaking

What’s it like to fly on wings? I mean, your wings. My wings are different from yours.

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

And you, how it is like to fly with your wings?

To: @moonwing

I can not really answer, Moony, because I never had wings like yours.

[Deleted]

To: @predaking

Well I suppose it must be different for you. I have thrusters which carry me forward, instead of wings I have to flap. You know, I honestly never thought of it before.

To: Predaking

Could you imagine how silly my alt form would look if I had to flap my wings? Yours look so much more elegant.

To: @moonwing

It is probably... strange to never flap. I can plane, but if I was not moving my wings, I would fall.

To: @moonwing

It could be... cute. I do not know. It could be interesting.

He said "cute"!

After her last text, no other replies came from Moonwing that night. Obviously the seeker had nodded off at some point, unable to stay awake so late.

Finally, however, the next day, a message came through.

To: @predaking

Look what I saw!!!

Aurora.image

To: Predaking

I went out on my own and I saw this! Dreadwing says that it’s called an ‘aurora’ and it’s because of electrons colliding in the upper atmosphere!!

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

It is beautiful. Have you seen the sunset? Or sunrise?

To: @moonwing

... What is... an electron? Dark magic?

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

I’ve seen sunrises and sunsets from the window in the observation lounge, but nothing ever like this! Didn’t Dreadwing take you to see a sunset once?

   To: Predaking

Electrons are sub-atomic particles that are negatively charged, and make up atoms along with neutrons and protons

   To: Predaking

… they might seem like dark magic to you though. The aurora certainly was like magic, but I don’t know if I’d say it was dark magic.

To: @moonwing

Yes.

To: @moonwing

Eh... okay.

(He did not understand. But he does not want to know more. Too complicated.)

To: @moonwing

I said "dark" magic because it end with "tron". Like Megatron... It was... A kind of joke?

OMG! Make a cross on the calendar and made a public holiday day today! He made a joke!

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

Oh. OH. I misunderstood. That is a kinda funny joke! i hope he never reads these messages though

   To: Predaking

You were right about me going out on my own, though. I’ve never seen anything like the aurora. I was worried about my internal gyroscopes being damaged by it, but it was just… beautiful.

   To: Predaking

The more I see of this planet, the more I wonder why we have to destroy it.

To: @moonwing

My joke was not very funny. It was... very not terrible. I will find a better one next time.

To: @moonwing

I am not really happy to have to destroy it for our own too.

   To: @predaking

I just

   To: Predaking

I wish I’d never come to this place sometimes. I wish my creator hadn’t brought us here, because then he would be alive and everything would be so much simpler.

   To: Predaking

The people of this world have done nothing to us, and yet Lord Megatron seeks to hurt them all the same as if they had. It isn’t fair.
