Chapter Text
“Now where in the nine hells did it go!" she screamed in frustration as she kept searching through the piles upon piles of books.
That's when somebody asked her, "Are you looking for this?"
Looking up toward the voice, Singularity saw the Seeker commander sitting cross-legged on her recharge bed and waving the spell book in question.
"You!" scowled Singularity.
"Me," Starscream calmly mocked.
Stomping up to him in an impatient huff, Singularity held her right hand out in a proprietary gesture and yanked the book out of Starscream's hand. She stomped across to the other side of her room next to her weapons rack. As she flipped through the pages of the book, she kept looking back at Starscream off and on to make sure he didn't do anything that would prompt her to grab a loaded pistol from the rack and fire at him.
After what she had experienced today with the other Seekers, she wouldn’t put it past Starscream to make advances toward her at any moment. So far, she was quite impressed by him for not trying anything…yet. Emphasizing the word ‘yet.’ All he did was sit and look at her.
"Ha!" Singularity said, her face flushed with happiness. As she looked through the spell, she didn't see anything amiss—at first. Then a word popped out at her. 'Did I pronounce that word right? Maybe I should ask Starscream; he should know.' But before she could ask him anything, he was already in front of her.
"Is there anything you need help with?" he asked calmly.
Jerking at his sudden proximity, Singularity then scolded, "Don't do that! Anyway, since you are here, is this word pronounced with a short E or a long E?"
Looking at the word she was pointing to, he then corrected her, "The E is silent."
Now a feeling of stupidity washed over her like a wave; Singularity kept looking at the spell in an attempt to find a way to reverse it, let alone figure out when the spell would end. Starscream was next to her now and was at least a paragraph ahead when it came to finding out a cure. That’s when he kissed her. As they kissed, both they and the book started to glow red. Lightning flashed outside of Decepticon headquarters, and the entire base's power went out.
Breaking out of the kiss, Singularity asked, "What in the universe did you do that for?"
"Keep reading." He told her as he saw her start reading the rest of the information about the spell. Seeing Singularity's optics widen, he smiled and said, "And all it took was a kiss."
THE END
