Hey, it's TKDrift. Weirdest thing today; my friend told me I'm oblivious whenever a girl makes it obvious that has a crush on me like what happened today. Does anyone have tips on how to tell if girl likes you for real? Cause I obviously don't.

In any case coincidentally as that was romance-related, I came up with this story. But this is still my first attempt at a romance-fic so no flaming (is that the right term) please.

Enjoy.

I do not own anything

Chapter 1: How it all began

Somewhere between the Andromeda and Milky Way Galaxies….

For anyone or anything that would be able to travel in space, they would consider their intergalactic travel rather quiet and scary. Not just from the lack of sound due to the vacuum, but also the fact that it seemed totally lifeless. Or, that's what the people in hiding want the travelers to think…

A lone figure sat on a small rock, tired and exhausted. He couldn't believe it though; everyone with him had been stuck on this rock for who-knows-how-long, barely living on what little supplies they had.

Their only hope of leaving was their ship but if they fired it up, they would have to give up all the energy they had. Worse, without a specific destination it would be foolish to just fly pointlessly. The only hope for him and his companions was the transceiver. But by this time who knew if anyone was still out to send a transmission or receive theirs?

But it was just then that he heard something. It was a voice he thought he wouldn't hear again.

"-If not-" "-in-"

The figure immediately bolted up and rushed toward the transceiver, his blue armor seemingly glowing as his hopes suddenly shot up.

"Everyone, there's a transmission! I repeat, there's a transmission!" He screamed, turning up the machine's volume.

Almost immediately after yelling so, two more figures ran over from his northwest. One was red and white, while his companion was greyish silver. All three listened as the transmission got clearer and louder.

"-My name-" "-is Optimus Prime, and I send this message. Though we did not choose to be of Earth, it would seem that we are here to stay. If you approach this planet with hostile intent, know this: We will defend ourselves. We will defend humanity. We will defend... our home."

"Is it him?" The red-white figure asked, cocking an eyebrow in suspicion.

"I verified his voice" the blue figure replied. "It's him alright."

"Then there's no time to lose" The grey one declared. Then turning to the red-white, he told him "Gather everyone and meet us at the ship. We're going to Earth"

Nodding, the red-white transformed and took off.

'Just you wait, Prime. I can guarantee you'll be surprised when you see us.' He thought as he approached his other comrades on the other side of the asteroid.

Earth

Jasper, Nevada, United States of America

3:30PM (Local Time)

It was a quiet day in Franklin High School. Everyone was going on their regular after- daily basis; after-school activities, sports matches and all other kinds of things.

As he picked up his helmet, Jack Darby got on his motorcycle, or Arcee to anyone who knew the secret; it had been a pretty tiring but surprising and marvelous day. He was able to actually outrace everyone and be first place in track and be the class's number one football wide receiver in Gym Class. Also he had been able to impress Sierra by beating this one guy in badminton.

'Well, running away from Decepticons all the time does pay off in a way' he thought as he fired up Arcee's engine. 'And daily work-outs always work'

But right when he was about to ride away, something stopped him.

"…Jack?"

Spinning around at an all-too-familiar voice, the 'Honorary Prime' turned around to see his crush, the all-kind and gorgeous head cheerleader, Sierra Beckerman.

"H-hey, Sierra!" He stuttered while his head echoed 'Nice one, Darby. You can face the Decepticon leader head-on and you can't even talk to your crush properly'

"I've been wanting to talk, are you free tonight?" she asked as she approached him.

"Yeah..?" he replied nervously.

"There's a party down by Kate's at 6, are you coming?" Sierra asked, smiling slightly while eyeing him with words that spelled 'Pretty Please?'

That was going to be a problem; he was supposed to be at the Autobot base because Raf needed help with his art project. Miko was helping too but she was going to be a little late. Well, there was no choice; he had to either not go and help but give Sierra disappointment or go and not help and Sierra would be pleased…or at least for the moment it seemed like it.

"Well, I-"

"What's the matter, Darby, can't even talk to one chick?" said a voice, sounding rather gruff. Looking around Jack and Sierra noticed a black Dodge Viper. And out came Zach Travis, the football team runningback.

"Uh, this 'chick' has a name you know" Sierra retorted to the football player, her semi-smile instantly turning into a scowl.

"Aw, come on babe." Zach complained, forming a sympathetic smile as he approached the pair. "I-"

"DON'T. Call me. Babe! Not after what happened that day!" Sierra snapped, interrupting his speech.

Apparently giving up, Zach scoffed "Whatever", and promptly bumped into Jack on his way back to his car.

"You know better than me that I'm a lot hotter than this loser" Zach snorted flipping his hair in a Justin-Bieber-way, still smiling while leaning on the side of his car.

'Not that his hair actually moved' Jack thought to himself, getting angry. But despite his strong attempt at a poker face, he was boiling with jealousy. He didn't know what Travis had to do with Sierra and he didn't care; ever since that race against Vince, his feelings for Sierra were growing and were still so. He knew he had already screwed up somewhat when Arcee showed up that time, she didn't believe that the Autobot was his 'mom' and had been slightly distant of him after that. But now she was showing interest again, and this time he wasn't going to lose that chance.

"Actually Sierra, never mind. I can go" He told her.

Sierra on the other hand, was shocked at Jack's answer. But nevertheless she seemed overjoyed as her scowl immediately turned to a smile when she turned towards him.

"Alright, I'll see ya then" Sierra told him, her smile seeming to get wider.

"And Zach, this 'loser' treats me better than you EVER did." She scowled at the football player before she started walking down the road towards home.

Not wasting a second to suffer at the hands of Zach, Jack quickly hopped on Arcee and zoomed away.

"So, how are you going to explain this to Raf and Miko? Tell them you have a date?" the Autobot asked in a teasing manner.

"(Sigh) First off, it's a PARTY. That means there'll be a lot of people there. Second, I really don't know." He said, shaking his head in wonder as they drove towards the base.

However, had the two paid more attention, they would have noticed five shooting stars in the afternoon sky.

Will I specify the figures in space? Yes. But not for the moment.

Read & review please.
