Chapter Text
it took a solid 35 minutes for the sparkling to finally be full. "you are one hungry bean...how long have you been out there?" straightstreak muttered. he began to gently rock the sparkling. "y'know,i should give you a nickname,since i don't know your actual name and all..."
" * bloop? * "
"how about...grapes? wait,no,no,i can do better than that...hmmmm...how aboutttt...grape soda?"
" * boop * "
"i'll take that as a yes".
grape soda started to become sleepy as straightstreak continue to rock them. it didn't take long for them to fall asleep.
straightstreak gently put them back on the berth to rest. "back to preparations..." he said as he walked out of his quarters to head to the other quarters to grab some fuel for the trip
***
alright,preparations,first things first,he's gonna need a lotta fuel. primus knows how long it'll be before he saw a 'con and be able to return grape soda through said 'con.
he thought about not bringing anything else and just stuff his subspace chock full of energon but that might not be the best of ideas 'cuz he'll definitely need other things in order to survive the trip.
but then he had a thought '...what if i just not do the trip and instead send out a signal to attract the decepticons?...' but he quickly dropped it because the signal might attract team prime and if the signal did only attract the decepticons,that means he'll have to confront them,talk to them and stuff and he really,really,REALLY did not want any other mech to know of his existence as long as this war continues so he stuck to the original plan.
"maybe it's better if i grab the non-energon things first and then see how many cubes i could stuff in there?" he muttered to himself. he decided that was a better idea and instead of going in the quarters-turned-energon-storage-room,he went to the regular storage room,below decks.
once below decks,he started to rummage through things to see what he'll need. a couple of spark concealers so neither him nor grape soda get tracked? sure. also bring about...6 spares in case anything goes wrong. can't be too prepared! goggles so he could see extra far? oh,definitely. if only he'd been wiser in his video game and TV moderation and not stay up 'till days at a time playing and watching them,he probably won't need the goggles but oh well.
smoke bombs? sure,why not. grab 2 handfulls just to be sure....actually,maybe just 1 would be fine. of course,grape soda's capsule and the connector are must-haves. "aaaaaaand...that's all! huh. thought i'd need more stuff...though that just means more storage for energon and the more energon i can stuff in,the better" he said to himself.

::have you found any clue on the whereabouts of megastar?!:: megatron yelled through the poor vehicon's comm
::n-not yet,l-lord m-m-megatron::
megatron snarled before responding ::keep looking!::
::o-o-of course,lord megatron!::
the comm then disconected,to the vehicon's relief.
" "megastar"...who in the pit names their sparkling after a mash of their name and their conjunx's name?"
"lord megatron,apparently" said his eradicon partner,who is flying above but close to him
