It had been eighteen years since Briley Andrews and a crew of eight, which later became a crew of ten, rescued Summer Anderson from the Decepticons. In that time Kinsey Jackson had married Christopher Holland and they had one daughter, Devi Holland who was seventeen years old and a junior at Tranquility High School. Jennifer Devaut, a relatively new member of NEST when it had moved to Diego Garcia, had given birth to a daughter who was now the same age as Devi. Her name was Callie Devaut. Maggie Madsen had given birth to a son who was eighteen and named Antonio Salani after two deceased members of NEST, one of which being a good friend of Maggie's and the other being his father who had died combating Decepticons. Mikaela and Sam had also gotten married and their first child was a girl named Lacey Marie Witwicky, more commonly known as Lace. Lace was fifteen and a freshman at Tranquility High.

Right now Lace was stretched across her bed. It was just fifteen minutes after school and she was enjoying her free time while her mother rested. Mikaela Witwicky was pregnant again and due any time now which meant that when she wasn't resting she was, for some reason, incredibly grouchy. That was why Lace was doing her best to be absolutely silent when her cell phone vibrated next to her. Lace opened the text message and grinned when she read it.

Do u know how awful Chem is?-Cal

Callie Devaut was a junior but she had taken history instead of Biology her freshman year so she was currently in Chemistry ,which she absolutely hated.

So I've heard. Numerous times-Lace

Lace didn't have to wait long for Callie's snarky reply at Lace's not so subtle jab in her friend's direction.

Deal with it-Cal

Lace snorted and tossed her phone aside on the bed next to her, knowing Callie wouldn't text back anymore while she was working on Chem. That was why she jumped when her phone vibrated a couple seconds later, this time with a message from Devi.

Hola! Buenos Dias-Devi

Devi Holland was in Spanish Three and while she wasn't great at it she practiced every moment she could.

Afternoon Devi-Lace

Lace didn't much care about anything this day. School was a month away from being over right now and Lacey couldn't wait for summer to hit. Then she and her friends would be returning to Diego Garcia to see how much NEST training had changed Antonio and if Ironhide had blown up either set of twins yet.

Want to go to the lake? I know Cal can't come cause of Chem-Devi

Lacey considered the offer but then shook her head after a moment. Her mom would need help and Lace hated letting her parents down even though she knew they wouldn't mind. As pregnant as Mikaela was Lace felt bad every time she left the house and left her mother to fend for herself.

Nah. Gonna clean house for mom. TTYL-Lace

Lace rolled off her bed and went in search of a dust rag to start cleaning the house, unaware that in a week her ordinary, ordered life would change completely.
