Eavesdropping

"Oh well. I'll be okay."

"I apologize. I shouldn't have thrown it at you," he told me.

"Don't worry about her. She's got a hard head. She'll be alright," my dad laughed.

"Shut up, William," I snapped. Ron chuckled and I looked at at him. "And it's okay."

"If you're sure," he said.

He gave me a cautious look and I just smiled and nodded. He returned my smile before getting up and going over to the recliner.

"This is getting way out of hand. I thought it was over when Sam killed Megatron in Mission City but it's just getting worse. The Decepticons need to be stopped quickly before more innocent people lose their lives," I heard my dad's voice say.

What the hell is a decenticone and who is Megatron?

I was laying on the couch. My eyes were closed and I was feeling extremely tired. I didn't really want to go back to sleep at the moment, so I decided to be nosy and continue listening on to my dad and, I assume, Ron's conversation.

"Starscream is after vengeance. We killed his leader and also destroyed the only item that was necessary to help aid in the survival of our planet. I'd say he's a little less than pleased," Ron responded.

What the hell is he even talking about?

My dad sighed.

Myself, on the other hand, was more than confused with this whole ordeal. I was completely muddled. I couldn't quite comprehend all of these weird names and cities or even the plot of it all. I hadn't any clue as to what or whom he was referring to, but I sure as hell wanted to find out. Right now, I didn't have the time or the patience to listen to their mindless chatter so, I decided to finally wake myself up.

"I know, Ironhi-"

My dad stopped mid-sentence when he noticed that I was sitting up. I stopped and gave him a strange look.

What was he just about to call Ron?

"Am I interrupting something?" I asked groggily, my brow raised.

Ron and my dad exchanged an uneasy glance. My dad gave me a hesitant smile.

"Not at all."

LIAR. I gave him a slight nod and pulled my blanket over me.

"How was your nap?" Ron asked me.

I yawned and rubbed my eyes. "It was fine. I don't remember falling asleep though."

"That's probably because you fell asleep so quickly. Those pills Ratchet gave you are working a lot faster than ever," my dad chuckled.

"Oh well. Sleep is good for the brain."

There was an uncomfortable feeling in the atmosphere. I could almost feel the tension between the two men in front of me. Just by looking at them, I could tell that they were afraid that I might've heard the "confidential" conversation they were having not even three minutes ago. I had heard almost every word, but even so that was their fault. It had sparked a certain curiosity inside me and their secretive nature brought it out even more.

I sat back into the couch cushions and made myself comfortable. I crossed my arms and smirked at the two men. They each gave me questioning looks.

"So, what were you two talking about earlier?"

My dad stiffened up and Ron just sighed.

"Did you hear us?" Ron asked.

"Precisely."

"It's nothing you need to worry about, Azalea. I promise," my dad tried to assure me.

I wasn't buying it though.

"Oh really? You're such a horrible liar. I heard you say that innocent people were being killed," I remarked. He sighed and I yawned again. "Does it have anything to do with this whole alien apocalyptic zhush?"

"Like I said, it's nothing that you need to worry about. We've got it all under control," he said.

"I may be a blonde but I'm not entirely stupid. You know how I do with secrets, dad. I find out everything eventually and sooner or later I'll find out what you two meant by Megatron, Starscream and decenticones. But for the moment I'll shut up."

"That may be what's best for you, Lea," Ron stated.

I rolled my eyes and laid back down on the couch.

"Whatever you say. I don't care right now though. I'm going back to sleep. Goodnight el confidantes. Love you," I chuckled.

"Goodnight, Lea," they responded in unison.

I snuggled into my covers and fell back to sleep.
