Starwave joins the Decepticons and finds herself at odds with Thundercracker. Will they kill each other? Or will it be love?

In our version, they end up killing each other.

It doesn't always work out. Just because he was your prom date or your friends said she was perfect for you doesn't mean it's going to last forever. It might not even last an hour. Here at In Space, we're celebrating the ones that just didn't work out.

We decided to award this one to Lunatron, who we are going to have to saddle with a handicap or something next time, since she claimed the last contest, too. Thanks to everyone who participated! This was our biggest turn-out for a writing contest yet.
