Disclaimer: I don't own any Transformers series.
Well, I've decided to start a new story. I've been recently obsessing over the Transformers lately, and the new TF: Animated cartoon has really grown on me. Now, I am a HUGE OptimusXElita fan, and I noticed how much humor potential there was with the whole Optimus and Blackarachnia thing. So, after ranting about the couple with a good friend of mine, we came up with a story, and the rest is as you see here.
The title comes from the song Stuck by Stacie Orrico, as I find it to be an appropriate theme song for this story. This sorta takes place outside of where the show left off. Megatron isn't floating in space, Starscream has his body back, and the Decepticons now have a base at the bottom of the river near Detroit (A reference to the G1 series, obviously.). I just thought it would make this so much simpler. I also work with the theory that Elita and Blackarachnia are two separate personalities, because that's always fun.
Now, this is mainly meant to be funny as well as cute, and it's my first ever TF fic, so there may be some slight problems. I'm going to use pretty much every part of the TF: A fandon I like. Please no flames. If you don't have a sense of humor, don't read this.

The task had started out simple enough. A fragment of the All Spark had been found within Detroit, all the Autobots had to do was find it, and bring it back to base, no problem. Even better, there weren't any spotted Decepticons in the area. It was simple scrap.
But Primus knows the Decepticons were already planning to slag it up.
"Starscream and Blackarachnia, I want you two to find that fragment and bring it here before the Autobots can reach it." Megatron commanded.
Starscream nodded. "We won't fail you, Lord Megatron." he said with his usual smirk.
Blackarachnia rolled her optics. She despised working with him. He was a cowardly, self-centered, lying kiss-aft, as well as incompetent. "And yet he's somehow a higher rank than I am! That makes SO much sense!"
As of late, she had been questioning her decision to join the Decepticons. It had been a way of getting back at the Autobots, because she thought that they couldn't be trusted. "And so I go to the Decepticons to find more trustworthy bots!? For Primus sake, their name is the Decepticons!" And the Autobots at least didn't have any nut jobs on their side.
"Get moving, half-breed." Starscream demanded. "We don't have all day."
"All right, keep your chest plate on." Blackarachnia growled, moving towards the door out. "Tailpipe."
"What was that?"
"Nothing."

"It's not far from here, Optimus." said Sari from inside of Bumblebee. Her key was leading her to a pair of relatively short skyscrapers. As they got nearer, Bumblebee suddenly slammed the brakes, nearly choking Sari with the seatbelt. "Hey, what was that for!?"
The car began to shake slightly. "Look up there." He turned to a space between the two buildings, which had a large, intricate pattern of fine purple web crossing through it.
Optimus felt his spark chamber skip a pulse. There was only one person who could make something like this...
...And she and a certain fighter jet were hiding inside one of the skyscrapers.
"Okay, you stay here and search for the fragment." Starscream ordered. "I'll take care of them."
"What!? Why should I have to find it?" Blackarachnia shouted. "Let me fight them, I'll take them out easily!"
"Do I need to remind you of our rank, half-breed?" he asked, taking a step closer.
She sighed angrily. "Fine, I'll stay."
Starscream smiled. "That's a good obedient fembot." He transformed and began heading towards the Autobots.
Blackarachnia waited until he was gone. "Do I need to remind you of our rank, half-breed?" She repeated in a ridiculously high-pitched voice. "I have a slagging name, you know!" she shouted. She looked out the window, watching the fight. "Look at him; he's getting his aft handed to him. Pathetic." She noticed a cable wound around his arm, and followed to its source.
She sighed as she stared at the face of Optimus Prime. "Wow...he's just as handsome as I remember." She froze.
"Be quiet, this isn't a time to be drooling over an Autobot. You have a job to do." Blackarachnia whispered in her mind.
Elita rolled her optics. "Please, why would I listen to Screamer?" She continued to stare. "And besides...look at him. I mean...frag!"
"Stop that! Have you forgotten what he did to you? You are the way you are because of him."
"Well..." She frowned. "It's not like he meant for that to happen..."
"Why trust him? He's an Autobot, he is your enemy."
"He wasn't before!" Elita shouted, covering her head.
"He'll only betray you again."
"But I miss him so much..."
"You're a Decepticon now."
Elita paused, still watching Optimus. "You know what? Slag Starscream, slag the Decepticons, and slag you." She prepared to shoot her web. "I'm going to see him again."
Blackarachnia sighed. "Very well then, I suppose I'll have a little fun with him."

"Sari! Do you have any idea where the piece is?" Ratchet shouted, slightly preoccupied with holding Starscream with his magnets.
"It's in that building!" She pointed to the building on the right.
"You and Bumblebee should go in and find it." Optimus ordered. "We'll keep him busy."
As the two began going through the doors, Bumblebee asked. "But what about the web? Doesn't it mean that that scary spider fem is nearby?"
"You mean Blackarachnia?" Sari corrected.
"Yeah, her." said the yellow car. "Where is she-" He suddenly noticed something long, thin, and purple travel through the air. "...Oh, slag."
Before anyone could stop it, the web wrapped around Optimus, and pulled him into the building, while breaking a few of the windows.
Starscream watched the whole thing. "What is that crazy fem doing!?"

And thus begins the first chapter. I hope everyone was in-character. Please review!
