Chapter 3

Snowboard Race

The next day was going good for Lex. She and Skyruss left to go race on their snowboards for the day. Lex was trying not to get her hopes up, but she was racing better than Skyruss. This was going really well for Lex. They were out in Antarctica.

Just don't mess up! Everything is going well, and as long as I don't mess up. Lex kept telling herself, along with trying not to get her hopes up. Skyruss suddenly did a face plant before the finish line and Lex won.

"Yes! I won!" Lex shouted happily and excitedly.

"Ok, ok you won. I'll buy you a new surf board." Skyruss said. "I'm glad you won."

"What do you mean? I thought you wanted to win." Lex asked.

"I already have a new surf board, so you needed it more than I did. I win way too much." Skyruss explained.

"Oh, ok let's head back to base."

"Ok!" Skyruss said and warped back.

When Alexis and Skyruss got back to base Starscream and Hot Shot were outside fighting. Both Skyruss and Alexis were tired of this. They need to stop them but how would they without getting hurt? They ran outside to find both bots still fighting when Alexis suddenly shout at them.

"Stop it you guys! This is getting to be ridiculous don't you think?" Alexis yelled.

"No! I don't think it is." Hot Shot said.

"Well I don't want to cause trouble here." Starscream said catching everyone off guard.

"Really now, why would you not want to cause trouble Decepti-scum?" Hot Shot snapped back at the Seeker.

"Just leave my twin brother alone Hot Shot! Stop acting like a bastard, because it's getting annoying. Now SCREW OFF!" Skyruss suddenly shouted as the other Autobots came outside to see what all the commotion was.

Hot Shot stood there in shock. He had never seen Skyruss so mad. He backed up a bit. All the other Autobots came running outside.

"What's going on out here?" Optimus asked.

"Hot Shot got into another fight with Starscream." Alexis explained.

"Hot Shot, when will you ever learn?" Jetfire asked.

"You've seen what happened to Smokescreen! I don't want it to happen again!" He snapped back.

"I don't want to cause any trouble here!" Starscream said.

"I know Starscream, I know." Optimus said. "Hot Shot can I talk to you in my office, now?"

"Fine!" was all Hot Shot said.

After Hot Shot and Optimus left Alexis decided to talk to Starscream, and find out how he was. She was worried that he might leave the Autobots. She didn't want him to leave, and she would miss him if he did. She was starting to sound like her mother. Alexis knew that her mother left to go to Afghanistan to help out, and she also knew that her mother may never come. When Alexis found Starscream she asked him the question she wanted to ask.

"Hey Starscream! How are you?" she asked.

"Not too bad, how are you Lex?" he asked.

"I'm good! Thanks!"

"You're welcome!" He said. Then he noticed her mood changed quickly.

"You seem sad." He said.

"My mom left to go to Afghanistan this morning to help the U.S. Air Force."

"Don't worry too much she will come home." he said.

"I hope she does, because I'm not going to live my dad. He's a jerk!"

"I don't even know who my creators are. But I will find out in time I guess."

Starscream said hoping Lex wouldn't have to deal with losing her mother.
