"Before time began, there was the cube.

We know not where it comes from only it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life, that is how our race was born.

For a time we lived in harmony but like all great power some wanted it for good, others for evil

and so began the war.

A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death and the cube was lost to the far reaches of space.

We scattered across the galaxy hoping to find it and rebuild out home.

Searching every star, every world and just when all hope seemed lost.

Message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called, earth...but we were already too late"


A yawn left her lips as she made her way through the airport, the sky still dark, the world still sleeping.

"Jinae" A voice called drawing her attention to the older man she knew as her uncle.

A smile slipped onto her face as she made her way closer, being pulled into a hug.

"We missed you kiddo, house isn't the same without you" Ron stated as he took her suitcase.

"It isn't a party without Jinae" She responded with a smile as they exited the airport.

The clock read 7:00, the sun peaking through the blinds of Jinae's room casting lines on the white duvet that covered her bed when the peaceful silence was broken by her door swinging open.

"Jinae!" Sam exclaimed, launching himself onto the lump protruding from the bed.

A groan could be heard from Jinae upon the extra weight suddenly weighing her down.

"Sam I love you and all but I like breathing more" She stated as she shoved her cousin off of her.

"I wouldn't be suffocating you to death if you had told me you were coming" Sam replied in an obvious tone.

"Then that would ruin the surprise wouldn't it" Jinae retorted with a raise of her eyebrow before a mischievous look came on her face "I heard your getting a car soon" She stated causing Sam to groan.

"Don't start" Sam said, tossing a pillow at her face as he stood.

"Just be thankful that you only have to get an four A's, some people have to earn half of the money to get their first car" Jinae pointed out.

"That's because your not the favorite" Sam teased, racing out of the door way as a pillow was tossed towards him.

"I hope you get an E!" Jinae exclaimed after him.

Later in the day Jinae finally decided to move from her bed and unpack her clothes, her hand had just started pulling at the zipper when her door was swung open again, an excited Sam barging in. Jinae blinking as keys were dangled in her face.

"I got a camero!-vintage but a camero" Sam stated as he grabbed her hand, ignoring her protests as he dragged her outside.

"You dragged me outside for this" Jinae said, her face scrunched up as she gazed at the 'vintage' camero.

"I said it was vintage" Sam reminded as he followed her back into the house.

"Define vintage" Jinae retorted.

The clock read 12am the next day, sun beaming high in the sky, Jinae still asleep in her bed, Sam giving himself a pep talk in his bathroom, and his parents in the back garden.

"Ron!, this one is uneven" Judy pointed out to her husband who was placing down gravel.

"Yeah, probably" Ron replied, not playing his wife any attention.

"This one is wobbly" Judy added, rocking the lose tile with her foot.

"I'll take care of that real soon" Ron replied.

"Couldn't we have hired a professional" Judy asked, Jinae groaning at the sound of her aunt's voice drifted into her open window.

Cracking her eyes open, a groan left her lips at the sound of Sam and her uncle's voices drifting into her room. Her feet touched the cool wood floors as she padded over to the window.

"What footprints? There's no footprints!" Sam exclaimed as he looked around at the ground under his feet.

"That's why I build my path, so why don't you move from my grass to my path?" Ron suggested as he gestured from the grass to the stone path.

"It's family grass dad" Sam stated moving onto the path anyway.

"Well when you own your own grass you'll understand" Ron retorted.

Rubbing her eyes Jinae signed as she leaned her hands on her window seal looking down at her deranged family.

"I can't do it anymore!" Sam protested.

"What?" Judy questioned in confusion.

"You're putting girl jewelry on a boy dog, he's got enough self esteem issues as a chihuahua mom" Sam stated, gesturing to Mojo who was wearing a diamond collar.

"That's his bling" Judy replied with a smile "I want you home at 11 o'clock"

"Yeah, okay" Sam replied as he got into his 'vintage' camero.

"11 o'clock" Ron repeated.

"And please for the love of god, drive safely" Judy added as Sam pulled off, leaving a cloud of black smoke.

"Seat belt on" Ron added.

"Wow you are so cheap" Judy commented, starring at the cloud of smoke.

"It's his first car, it's suppose to be like that" Ron said as Judy noticed Jinae.

"Hey sleeping beauty, you want to help me with the garden?" Judy asked to which Jinae rose an eyebrow before disappearing back into her room "No, maybe later"

The sound of keys clicking filled the room as Jinae logged into her email, scrolling through the usual spam mail and responding to a few from friends attending summer classes when she spotted one from someone she didn't expect.

She was tempted to double click, to see the excuses her mother had sent her this time. Instead she clicking the trash can icon, the email disappearing a second later.

The sound of her name being called pulled her from the daze she was in.

"Coming!" She called as she logged out, standing from the computer chair.

Later that night, the house was quiet as the occupants inside were asleep, all except one. Jinae was restless as her mind was racing of what the e-mail from her mother contained, though she knew each time she would be disappointed in waste of electronic ink.

Standing from her bed with the intent of going to the bathroom, she had just opened her door when she sound of an loud engine starting made her jump while Sam on the other hand jumped up from his bed with a start.

Jinae's eyes widened as Sam came barreling down the hall before she was suddenly being dragged behind him, barley having time to grab her vans or windbreaker, her protests going unheard as Sam's one track mind was only on one thing. Someone was stealing his car.

"What's going on?" Jinae questioned as Sam pushed her old bike into her hands.

"Dad call the cops!" Sam yelled as he took off on his own bike.

Jinae stood in the same spot for a few seconds before deciding she couldn't let Sam go off on his own and reluctantly followed behind him.

"Where are you going why my car buddy? Where are you going?" Sam exclaimed as he raced down the side walk, keeping up with the camero that he thought was being stolen "Hello 911 emergency, my car has been stolen and I'm in pursuit. I need all units, the whole squadron, bring everyone! no, no don't ask me questions alright my father is the head of the neighborhood watch" He stated to the operator.

After a 15 minute chase the car finally pulled into a junkyard.

"Who the hell would steal your car? Have you seen your car?" Jinae questioned in a whisper as they hid behind a junk car.

"How should I know!" Sam whispered back, the two freezing as they looked to the large robot that happened to look exactly like Sam's car shine a light in the sky.

"Isn't that the symbol on the car?" Jinae questioned, Sam nodding in reply.

"It's on the steering wheel too" Sam added before the light shinned near them making them duck.

"My name is Sam Witwicky, who ever finds this my car is alive-" Sam started to say into his phone getting cut off by a smack to the back of his head.

"What are you doing? Making a documentary? I don't about you but I don't plan on being killed by a robot on steroids" Jinae stated as she snatched his phone, closing it.

"But if something happens people need to know" Sam protested as he reached for his phone.

"Know what? That your car stood up and is secretly an alien, yeah the government sure would love to know if they don't already" Jinae retorted, mushing his face and keeping her other arm holding his phone stretched away from his reaching arms and swatting hands.

"You don't know that, it could be a new Japanese prototype" Sam stated, pulling her hand off his face.

"What prototype turns into a large robot Sam?" Jinae questioned before freezing as she heard the ratting of chains just as two dogs appearing from around the corner "Run"

Scrambling up from their spot, the cousins raced through the junkyard. Jinae slightly ahead of Sam thanking everything for her dad making her join the softball team though she never imagined she would be using her running skills to run from 2 dogs ready to eat her alive. Running into a tent they both hopped onto the bins, Sam jutting his foot out to try and kick the barking dogs.

"If you want to keep your toes I suggest your stop trying to kick them" Jinae commented as she grabbed a pole just as Sam's car busted into the tent, doing a 360 around them.

"Please don't kill me I'm sorry! take the key's I don't what them, car's yours" Sam cried throwing the keys, pulling Jinae with him as he ran out of the tent to see a police car in front of them.

"Whoa! Whoa!" Sam exclaimed as he held his hands out "Good you're here listen-"

"Let me see your hands" The officer ordered as he got out of the car, cutting Sam off.

"We were the ones that called officer" Jinae stated.

"The guy's inside" Sam informed pointing with his finger as he took a step forward, the officers pointing their guns at them causing the cousins to hold their hands up.

"Shut up and walk towards the car" The officer who was pointing the light ordered.

"Told you not to call the cops, you'd have better luck calling the damn neighborhood watch" Jinae mumbled to Sam as they laid on the hood of the car before they were handcuffed.

"Look I can't be any clear on how crystal clear I am being, it just stood up" Sam explained the same story Jinae told which the detective has a hard time believing, but who wouldn't.

"Just stood up" The detective repeated "Wow that's really neat. Okay cheapy , time to fill her up and no drippy drippy" He said holding out a container to which Sam took in confusion "What are you rollin'? Whippids, goofballs, a little wowy sauce with your cousin"

"We're not on any drugs" Jinae stated to which the detective smirked.

"Then what are these?" He questioned, nodding to his partner who tossed his a bottle of pills" Found it in your cousin's pocket, Mojo. Is that what the kids are doing now?"

"If their into dog pain pills" Jinae commented, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Little Chihuahua" Ron added his hand doing a barking gesture, after a moment of silence the man perked up.

"What was that?" The man questioned, opening his jacket to reveal his gun.

"Hm" Sam hummed in confusion.

"You eyeballing my piece fidy cent, oh you want to go?" The man asked as he get closer to Sam "Make something happen do it, cause' I promise you I will bust you up" He threatened.

"Alright robocop if you're not going to charge us with anything are we free to go?" Jinae asked as the detective returning to his spot sitting on the edge of his desk, making a gesture for them to go.
