Any mentions of days, are cybertronian days.
I will let you know when we get to the point of changing years to vorns, and months of course.
Anyways, enjoy the chapter.

—————————————-
I was listening to music in my berth room, I decided that I wanted to listen to the music, and if I was to do that, I'd have to accept any memories that came. Which was fine, because, after I began recovering my memories, the rest slowly came back to me.

And so did my depression. It's been... years. Years since we all came back to cybertron. Years since I came to Cybertron for the first time. We kept in contact with Earth, only for if the Decepticons went back there, otherwise, no contact. I'm.. 22 now. I am 22 years old. It's been 4 years, yet it felt like en eternity. I've been a cybertronian for 5 years now. Yesterday in fact was my 5 year anniversary.

I was depressed.
I was sad, because I would never be able to go home again. Even if I could... by the time this war was over... Earth, and humanity could be long gone. I tried to lighten up my mood with music, but it just made me miss home more.

I put on Centuries, before turning it off soon. I decided to put on Rewrite The Stars, as I worked on my visor.
Smokescreen was out doing things, things a Prime would do. Nowadays, Ultra magnus was in command, just until Smokescreen could take over, because he was the Prime after all. Smokescreen didn't want to be called a new name, he just wanted to stay, Smokescreen. And I think he's depressed too.

Because now he has a new burden to carry. A burden nobody should have but Optimus. But, Optimus is gone. And some days, I wish I had done something to change that. Recently more autobots came back to Cybertron, likely hearing news of Cybertron's revival.

I paused my work, just as Smokescreen came in, probably to watch what I was doing, I noticed and took note of his presence, as I studied my project. I changed songs again, typically because I didn't want to listen to that song anymore. I put on 7 years old by Lukas Graham.

I sang along as I worked, Smokescreen tiredly sitting on my berth, I watched him lay down, to listen to the music, and relax from today's stress.

Once I was 7 years old,
Momma told me,
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely,
Once I was 7 years old.
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger,
Pushing each other to the limits we were learning quicker,
By 11 smoking herb and drinking burning liquor,
Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure,
Once I was 11 years old, my daddy told me,
Get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely,
Once I was 11 years old.
I always had that dream like my daddy before me,
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories,
Something about that glory, just always seemed to bore me,
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me,
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told,
Before the morning sun when life was lonely,
Once I was 20 years old.
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure,
'Cause I know the smallest voices can make it major,
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor,
And if we don't meet before I leave I hope I'll see you later,
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told,
I was writing 'bout everything I saw before me,
Once I was 20 years old.
Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold,
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming,
Soon we'll be 30 years old.
I'm still learning about life,
My woman brought children for me,
So I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories,
Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory,
And some I had to leave behind my brother, I'm still sorry.
Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61,
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one,
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once,
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month,
Soon I'll be 60 years old,
Will I think the world is cold, or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be 60 years old.
Soon I'll be 60 years old,
Will I think the world is cold, or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be 60 years old.
Once I was 7 years old,
Momma told me, go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely,
Once I was 7 years old,
Once I was 7 years old.
