Zoe: *over negotiating with Blitzwing over possession of her mate. Has a huge, gooey chunk of choccy blitzcake by way of trade goods*

blitzcake: *has corn shaped candies on the icing*

Blitzwing: ...Oooooo...

Zoe: *grins* Trade?

Blitzwing: With pigs in blankets? *holds them up* Was feeding him ^^

Zoe: Oh. Sure. *interested in those new little treats now*

Swindle: *snerks* *is traded?*

Zoe: *trades! Lovahub*

Swindle: *PURRRR*

Blitzwing: *nom snack*

Rache: *runs past in bot mode, followed by bittyLug and bittyStryka, who are wearing paper masks and some lipstick doodles. All three are carrying MASSIVE bags of assorted candies*

Blitzwing: Huh?

bittyLug: *stops and looks up* Yes, Dad?

Rache: No! Don't stop! C'mon!

Blitzwing: What are you doing?

bittyLug: Smelly feeting!

Blitzwing: ...Okay

bittyStryka: No. We're treating.

Blitzwing: ...This early?

bittyLug: Oh. Yes. In as many versions of New York as we can!

Blitzwing: Ahhhh, okay

Rache: Gotta start early, or we'll be jumping back instead of forward. *says this as though it makes perfect logic*

Zoe: -Good grief.- *feed hubby*

Swindle: *purr* -Probably just want as much noms as possible-

Zoe: -Rache does, anyway. Those are all organic candies.-

Swindle: *would facepalm, but is tied*

Rache: See, Dad? After we're done we'll sort it all, and all the crappy stuff can go into the ethanol still.

Zoe: :o Oh...

Blitzwing: Oh?

Rache: *nods and points to her henchmen* Yeah, so they get their cut.

bittyLug: ^^

Blitzwing: Ahh ^^

Rache: *cackles and runs off, henchmen in pursuit*

Zoe: I should learn not to doubt that kid.

Swindle: Indeed...^^

Blitzwing: *grin*

Zoe: *then meeps as three glowing balls of light fly over*

Swindle: o.o!

lights: *swing wide and fly over again*

Zoe: ...It's the foo fighters!

Swindle: Huh?

Zoe: Optimus from the pocket dimension told me about them. You know, the Guardian of Time and Space?

Swindle: Ahhhh

Zoe: *frowns* But she said they could only exist in the Time Stream. Not in the real world.

Silver: *pops out of the grass, waving a pansy* -This not real world!-

Swindle: That's true, Silver

Silver: *watches as the three lights come to hover over her parents, her big eyes sparkling* Ohhhh. Ghosties...

Swindle: *look*

foo fighters: *are indeed extinguished Cybertronian sparks. Ones who have been dead for so long, and passed so violently when they did that they no longer remember who they once were, or anything of life except being together and flying free* *are looking down now with wonder on a world such as they don't remember seeing before*

Zoe: *hand to her chest* *quietly* I think one of them is a Starscream.

Swindle: Really?

Zoe: *nods* I feel the same little tug on my spark that I feel when I'm around our Screamers.

Silver: -Den we know who the others are.- *sitting now and holding her toes as she chews on her flower*

Swindle: *blink*

Zoe: *calls to dreamScream* //We have visitors, Dad. I think one of them used to be a you.//

Starscream: //Oh?// *comes to see*

foo fighters: *shoot into the air at sight of him, and then come and zoom around several feet above his head*

Zoe: 0.0

Starscream: *blink*

Stormfire: *disapproving kid is disapproving* *scowls at the lights and leans against Dad*

foo fighters: *stop zooming and hover over dreamScream and Stormfire's heads*

Silver: -Them like how Grandpa looks, but no know why.-

Starscream: *smirks at that*

Zoe: Yeah, because Dad's just so handsome. *cheerful eye roll*

Silver: *giggle!*

Stormfire: *scowls at big sister*

Starscream: Hey... *amused*

foo fighters: *moving slowly away from dreamScream now, and dropping gently toward the ground. And as they near the grass they're growing longer, and their glow is dimming*

Silver: *softly* Dostes be soyid here...

Swindle: Yes, they do..

Zoe: *absently hands dreamScream pigs in blankets as she watches the foo fighters*

Starscream: o.O *sniff*

pigs in blankets: *smell so nom*

Starscream: *noms one*

Swindle: *watching foo fighters*

Zoe: *also watching, her optics wide*

foo fighters: *are now three young Seekers of tech similar to G1. Two femmes and a mech. The femmes are red with white and sky blue with white, respectively. The mech is purple with grey trim*

Swindle: *blink-blink*

Starscream: ... *blinks himself*

red ff: *looks at her hands, and then touches her face and laughs. Her voice is high and shrill* How strange? Look at me, sister!

blue ff: *looking at herself* :o

purple ff: *grinning widely at Stormfire*

Stormfire: *killer LOOK*

Starscream: *facepalm at Stormfire*

Zoe: *quietly to Swindle and dreamScream* What should we do?

Swindle: I don't know...

red ff: *looks over toward the sound of voices, and then comes over to have a closer look at dreamScream* Hello!

Starscream: Hello.

red ff: *studies him curiously, her expression open and innocent* You look different from her. *points to Stormfire*

Stormfire: *looks like she's got a mind to bite that finger*

Starscream: Yes, I do. I'm Starscream, she's Stormfire.

red ff: *thinks this over, and then shakes her head* That's not it. You look like us. *gestures to herself and her trine fellows*

Starscream: ...You look like Seekers.

red ff: *pauses with finger out to point at her brother, her optics going round as she looks back up to dreamScream* ...Seekers?

Starscream: *explains 'Seeker'*

red ff: *looks at herself* *then shakes her head* She's a Seeker too. *points to Stormfire* But she looks different. She looks like them. *points to Zoe and at Starfire, Skyhunter, and Thunderdash, who have stopped to watch what's going on*

Silver: Ohhhh. Yup. Dranpa dead!

Zoe: Oh.

red ff: *looking at Swindle with great curiosity* And you look different from everyone but her. *points to Silver*

Swindle: Well, I'm not a Seeker.

Starscream: He's a profit monger

Swindle: *thrrrpt*

Zoe: He's a Guardian Fae dragon. Starfire, Skyhunter, Thunderdash, Stormfire, and I are alive. And you and Dad are ghosts. You used to look like us.

red ff: *blank expression at this news. Does not compute*

purple ff: *found a pile of pigs in blankets. Made like the big bad wolf, and now there are no little pigs*

Swindles: *run by in the background*

Blitzwing: *chase!*

blue ff: *laughs and takes off to chase things around too!*

Blitzwing: ...Hey! *laugh and chase with blue ff*

red ff: *slowly* We've always looked like... well, not this. But we never have looked like you.

Swindle: People from different realities can look very different

Zoe: *softly, over the bond with her mate* -They don't remember ever being alive. I wonder if they're here to know what it's like? Are you hearing anything?-

Swindle: Well.. *listens*

Scattor: *someplace in the Nexus* *projects feeling of a large and surprising burp*

Zoe: >_o -Other than that...-

Swindle: *facepalm*

Primus: *it's ghost time, right? So you get ghost visitors!*

Swindle: *chuckles, and tells Zoe what he heard*

Zoe: *laughs* Looks over at dreamScream and comms him that info*

Starscream: //So, ghosts living here isn't enough?// *smirk*

Zoe: *chuckles* //I suspect this is a present for Jenn and Blitzwing. They like the dress up time.//

Starscream: ... //Odd.//

Silver: *looks at her Daddy, images of three young Seekers standing up to a huge grey mech floating around in her little mind* -Dem was heroes, Daddy.-

Zoe: *looks at Silver* *blinks and shares that with dreamScream too*

Starscream: //Oh...//

Zoe: *goes over and offers him a hug* //They went the same way you did. Only Megs hadn't turned into a purple people eater yet.//

Starscream: //...I was no hero...//

Zoe: //Yeah, that part wasn't the same.// *smirks at him* //You are now, though, so don't worry.//

Starscream: //If you say so...//

Zoe: *softly* //You helped save my life.// *hug*

Starscream: *blinkblink* *hug!*

Zoe: ^^ I love you, Dad.

Starscream: I love you too, Zoe..^^

red ff: *has been distracted! There are Seekers dancing up there!* *watches some of the local Seekers skydancing with Columba*

Zoe: *softly* Should we throw a party and show our guests a good time? *looks at Swindle too, is also asking him the question*

Starscream: Can't hurt.

Swindle: Why not?

Rache: *in the distance* *cackling!* The cake is a lie!

Zoe: *blink blink. Snerk* *looks at Starfire and co* Guys? Party?

Starfire: *smiles his slow grin* Alright. Are we having fireworks?

Thunderdash: *wide Swindly grin* I just made some fabulous new designs!

Zoe: What do you say, Dad? Swindle? Fireworks?

Swindle: Fireworks? o.O

Starfire: Well, they're nice at parties. *grin*

Starscream: ...I've not heard of them during this time...

Starfire: What do they use for this time? *leans forward with interest*

Starscream: Dressing up in costumes, getting candy...

Starfire: *looks at his cousins and son* I still have my costume from the LARP.

Thunderdash: Hmmmm. *rubs chin in such a Swindly way as he thinks*

Swindle: *busy looking at scary party favors on the multi-net... Of course, the first site he comes to has yummy but more cute than scary snacks*

Zoe: *startled meep that's echoed by the red ff*

tp style Scream: *runs past firmly coated in green gummi ham*

Zoe: 0.0

Silver: *much laughter!*

Swindle: ...*FACEPALM*

Zoe: That is NOT one of the party snacks. Or a favour.

Thunderdash and Stormfire: *chase the gummi Scream, laughing!*

Skyhunter and Skyfire: 0.0

Skywarp: Ahhh, scary! *flies away!*

Zoe: ...But I guess he's a party game.

Silver: *vanishes, and then comes back in one of her little sparkly fairy costumes*

Zoe: *chuckles* I'll get some of my belly dance gear on. *looks at Swindle* Golden outfit, or the purple one?

Swindle: ...Golden ^^

Zoe: *grins and PINpoints home to put on the flowing and glittery outfit that always catches her mate's eye*

yOp: *just 'ported in a whole heap of costume stuff and left it in a heap on the lawn*

Swindles: ...*run over!*

Farsight: *runs over too* Oppy says these will fit anybody that tries them on. Seekers or Swindles, or anybody.

Swindles: OOooooo! *will randomly nab a costume each.*

Farsight: *is soon dressed as a little white kitten with pale blue spots* Daddy! My costume has no snakes!

Swindle: Do you want snakes?

Farsight: I can't be a little brother for Blizzy without snakes.

Swindle: *chuckles, and adds the snakes to the costume*

Farsight: *is a happy sparklet*

Cloe: *is too! Just got into the muns' bathroom, and is now TPed!*

Starscream: ... *facepalm*

Swindle: *making snacks now*

yOp: *helping with snacks, while in human form because he thinks that's a good costume* *has some energon spider hotdogs and is making octopi out of them*

Swindle: *making mummies out of some more of them*

yOp: Do they have anything good to do with brats?

Blitzwing: *hears that* ...Usually they get candy! AHAHAHAHAH!*

yOp: *startles and then laughs* Do you want to decorate the cake?

Blitzwing: Ooo, yes!

yOp: *gives him undecorated blitzcake and things to cut and decorate with*

Silver: *comes to help*

Blitzwing: *GOES TO TOWN*

goodies: *soon done!*

party: *in full swing!*

nobody: *goes to bed early tonight!*

foo fighters: *have a lot of fun. Will remember this party for the rest of their existences*
