Disclaimer: This is another Coby/Lori romance fic and I hope it's just as good as my first one. Contains adult content and possible, please tell me if this offends you. Hotshot appears as he was after he gets rebuilt as part of the Cybertron defence team. Also the mini-cons aren't in this if anyone was hoping.

Autobot Base.
"Are you sure about this Lori?" Bud asked as Coby, Lori and himself made their way to the Autobots control room in their earth base.
"Come on Bud what's wrong with a little camping trip in the mountains? We are on summer vacation after all," Lori replied stopping the trio just outside the control room.
"But shouldn't we be going to the beach or something during summer vacation?" Bud wondered wanting to search for buried treasure.
"If we went to the beach where there are swarms of people the Autobots won't be able to reveal themselves. So if we go camping in the mountains we won't have to worry about anyone finding us with giant robots," Coby explained to his clueless little brother.
"But I was hoping to search for buried treasure," Bud whined getting trapped in a headlock by Coby. "Hey let me go!"
"You're been watching too much TV you little bean sprout," Coby chuckled applying a noogie through his brother's cap.
"At least I don't those binoculars dad gave you to spy on Lori!" Bud wailed, his struggling ceasing as he noticed Coby had stopped applying pressure to his skull and realized what he had said in his panic. "Oops,"
"Is that true Coby?" Lori asked looking at her best friend with a hurt expression on her face.
"Uh yeah," Coby replied quietly.
"Do you watch me when I'm getting changed in my room?" she demanded loud enough for the whole base to hear. "How long have you been watching me anyway?"
"Lori I swear I never watched you getting changed, it's impossible. The binoculars I've got have a parental control chip built into it," Coby explained wishing the Decepticons would attack this instant.
"You mean those chips they put in the TV to stop us watching those dirty adult movies?" Bud asked final free from Cody's headlock.
"I can accept that but you haven't explained how long you've been spying on me!" she shouted, putting Coby in a headlock inadvertently pressing his face against her chest.
'Someone help me," Coby begged, closing his eyes tight trying to stop himself from blushing.
"What's going on here?" Optimus asked appearing from the open control room doors.
"We just came to ask if you and the rest of the Autobots would like to go on a camping trip with us," Bud answered effectively ending the little squabble between the two older teenagers.
"A camping trip?" Optimus questioned crossing his arms over his massive chest.
"Yeah that's right," Lori added letting go of Coby. "We can't go to the beach because you guys won't be able to go swimming with us so if we went camping instead the chances of running into another person aren't very high. Especially peeping toms,"
"I think it's a great idea Lori, we could use some down time and a trip to the mountains sounds perfect," Optimus replied getting a cheer from Lori and Bud. "What's wrong Coby? You don't sound very excited,"
"Aren't you worried about a Decepticon attack Optimus?" Coby asked trying to steer the conversation away before he was asked why his face was so red.
"I don't think we'll have to worry about Megatron for a while Coby. Don't you want to go camping?" Prime asked lowering himself closer to Coby's face. "Are you feeling ok Coby, your face is all red,"
"I'm fine Optimus, really. I'm just so excited I can't think straight," Coby answered nervously.
"When can we start planning for the trip Optimus? I want to buy a new bikini before we go," Lori asked playfully winking at Coby.
The thought of Lori running alone the shore in a tight bikini with her breast bouncing as she ran was too much for the young man as he passed out on the floor after a fountain of blood burst from his nose. Looking back at the smug smirk on Lori's face Optimus and Bud sweat dropped slowly backed away, the Autobot leader might not fear battling Decepticons but an angry teenage girl was something more dangerous than Megatron on a bad day.
3 days later.
Being the soldier that he is today Optimus had seen more than his fare share of combat and death from the first time he had to fire a weapon to being put in charge of the Autobots had known what it meant to be afraid. In the heat of battle fear was either his ally or his enemy and the difference between life and death but when there wasn't a battle to be fought fear for his life was rare. However when it came in the form of an extremely aggravated sixteen year old teenager fear inspired Optimus to get Lori to the mountain campsite quickly, if keeping her happy meant living a few more days Prime wasn't going to waste any time.
"So how long before we arrive Optimus?" Lori asked in a frighteningly sweet voice as she inspected her nails wearing a tight blue t-shirt and denim cut off shorts.
"Shouldn't be too much longer Lori but I'm going to have to make the rest of the trip by road. I can't transform when I'm carrying all this cargo," Optimus answered referring to the camping supplies loaded in his back section.
"Well you were the one who lost the game," Lori added folding her arms behind her head.
Flashback.
"So how are we going to decide who carries most of the camping supplies?" Hotshot asked feeling nervous around Lori at the moment.
"Why don't you play rock, paper scissors? That's how people sometimes chose who does what," Bud suggested stopping his attempt to snap Coby from his daydream. "Just remember, rock beats scissors, paper beats rock and scissors beat paper. Best two out of three wins,"
In the end out of Optimus, Vector Prime, Hotshot, Evac, Landmine, and Override, Optimus was the unlucky one to lose the game.
"Oh great this is just my luck," Optimus complained shaking his head.
"Well I guess even the best commanders have to lose sometimes," Jetfire laughed giving a high five to Evac.
"This is the first time I've ever lost a match to Optimus since I was rebuilt," Hotshot gloated.
"Now that you're done humiliating your leader how about you load up the supplies so we can get going?" Lori suggested snapping the Autobots out of their little celebration.
"Don't mind her you guys, she just had to get up a lot earlier this morning," Bud reassured hiding behind Jetfire's leg.
End Flashback.
'I'd rather fight Megatron than deal with Lori right now,' Optimus thought making his descent towards the road.
With Override.
"I can't believe she's still angry with me after three days," Coby muttered watching the scenery pass by.
"Well since I'm a female transformer I can understand how she feels kid. I mean why were you spying on her in the first place?" Override asked slowing down so Optimus could land on the last section of open road ahead of her.
"I wasn't spying on her Override, Bud just said that to get out of the headlock I had him in," Coby said rather quickly, his face taking on a deep shade of pink.
"Don't try and pull my crank shaft on me Coby I've seen the way you look at Lori when you think no one else is looking so you've obviously got some interest in her," the Speed Planet leader scoffed.
"She's my friend Override, that's the only interest I have in her," Coby protested thinking about pulling out Override's voice module.
"The why did you pass out when sister mentioned buying a new bikini?" she teased chuckling when her thermal sensors showed Coby's body temperature rising.
"I have no idea what you're talking about and I have no interest in seeing Lori's hot body in a new bikini," he huffed not realising his slip of the tongue, at first.
"Did you just say Lori has a hot body?" Override asked adjusting her audio sensors.
"No wait, I meant to say she has a slamming body, no a real sexy figure! Damn it Override I don't like her at all!" he shouted sending the transformer into a fit of laughter. "All right I admit it! I've been thinking about Lori since our high school dance last year,"
"You've been spying on her for a whole year? Are you sure you never watched her during any private moments?" Override asked nearly crashing into Optimus.
"Override I swear I never saw anything of interest. The binoculars I got prevent me from seeing nudity of any kind and I would have gotten detention if I had used them to watch her at school. The only thing I got was teasing from my classmates," Coby confessed slumping over in his seat. "You should have seen her in that dress she wore to the dance last year. That tight black dress that hugged her body perfectly and the thigh slit on the left side. Man she has great legs!"
"Then why don't you tell her your feelings? She might stop been made at you if you explain why you've been spying on her," Override suggested suddenly noticing Coby had passed out with blood dripping from his nose. 'Just what is going on in that little mind of yours?'
Coby's Daydream.
Coby was sitting in the school yard eating his lunch when he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
"Lori!" Coby gasped watching her walk up to him wearing the same dress she wore to the school dance only the chest line dipped down to reveal an appropriate amount of cleavage.
"Hi Coby," she said just a strong guest of wind lifted her dress up revealing her pink panties. "You pervert!"
"You're right my dear, he is a pervert," came the tyrannical voice of Megatron as he teleported beside Lori. "Come will me my dear and you won't have to worry about him spying on you anymore,"
"Ok," she replied hopping into his hand. "See you later pervert,"
"NO LORI WAIT! I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO SPY ON YOU!"
Back to Reality.
"No wait I love you!" Coby shouted bolting upright.
"I'm very flattered Coby but I just can't return your feelings," Optimus said sitting beside Coby at the campsite. "But it's good to see you're finally awake,"
"How long have I been asleep?" Coby asked his face doing an exact impression of Optimus' armour.
"About two hours or so, we've already set up camp and the others have gone fishing at the lake. I would have gone myself but Lori insisted I keep an eye on you so you don't try and spy on her again," Optimus replied scanning to make sure they were alone. "So what were you dreaming about?"
"It was nothing Optimus I just wish I could tell her how I felt about her," Coby answered standing up to stretch his legs.
"Then it's a good thing we're up here for the week, you've got seven days to tell Lori," Optimus assured.
"Tell me what?" Lori asked startling Coby and transformer.
"Just that you look really hot in that outfit," Coby squeaked referring to her tight t-shirt and denim cut off shorts. "And I'm really sorry about spying on you for the past year,"
"Override told me about that, so I'm not as mad as I was three days ago," Lori replied as a bead of sweat rolled down her neck. "Man it's hot,"
"Yes you are," Coby mumbled quickly clamping his hands over his mouth. 'Crap!'
"Did you say something Coby?" Bud asked joining the group carrying his and Lori's fishing rods.
"Nope nothing at all," Coby answered a little too quickly.
Lori on the other hand had hear exactly what he said and was digging through her personal supplies in an attempt to look busy so no one would notice the deep red colouring her face.
'I can't believe I'm getting so worked up over this, there have been other boys who have said I'm hot and I never blushed this bad. Why is Coby affecting me like this? He's just my best friend who's been spying on me from his house for the last year and yet somehow I feel flattered that I'm the centre of his attention, besides he is kinda cute. And he has a nice butt,' Lori's whole face was now taking on the same colour as Optimus' armour at that thought. 'What is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about his butt, it's not the least bit nice! But then why do I keep having dreams about him wearing tight spandex? And why does it feel like someone's got there eyes on me?'
"Uh Lori, it's lunch time," Coby said placing a hand on her shoulder making her jump.
"Pervert!" she shouted throwing her fist out as hard as she could to connect with the closet object which happened to be Coby. 'Wait a minute wasn't that Coby's voice? Oh no! I punched Coby and I called him a pervert!'
"Now I see why Scourge is so scared of you even through he can squash you like a bug," Coby chuckled moving her fist away from his stomach. "I guess it's a good thing I haven't eaten lunch yet, wouldn't want to cough up fish all over your clothes Lori,"
"Well uh… how come you're not mad at me?" she asked a faint stain of pink gracing her cheeks.
"Because I know it was an accident, it's not like you meant to hit me," he replied patting her shoulder.
"Yeah I guess," Lori mumbled as Coby and Bud started to clean the fish for lunch.
After Lunch.
"All right, who's up for some exploring?" Bud cheered jumping up from his camping stool.
"That's sound like a great idea Bud, but a few of us might have to stay behind to keep an eye on our stuff," Landmine added lying on his side.
"I will stay here and keep watch, I've never had such an opportunity to just sit and enjoy the beauty this world has to offer," Vector Prime said sitting cross-legged next to Optimus.
"Yeah me too, we've got the whole week up here so I can go exploring with you guys anytime," Evac agreed leaning against a large Oak tree.
"Looks like Landmine's staying as well," Override mention pointing to the sleeping transformer.
"So where shall we start exploring then?" Optimus asked feeling enthusiastic at exploring this small portion of Earth.
"The information I got on this place said there was a stream some around here leading up to the base of Cougars Peak and a waterfall," Coby suggested filling a backpack with large water bottles.
"Oh I love waterfalls," Lori gasped, her eyes lighting up excitedly.
"I guess it's a good thing I'm built for rough terrain then," Hotshot shrugged grabbing the Cybertronian med kit designed by Scattershot for the kids. "So which way is this stream Coby?"
"Just go north east for about ten minutes," Evac instructed pointing his thumb over his shoulder in the direction of the shoreline.
"TRANSFORM!" Optimus, Override and Hotshot said converting to their respective vehicle modes.
"All right, Hotshot take the lead and I'll bring up the rear, Override you've got the middle," Optimus commanded.
"I'll ride with Hotshot!" Bub shouted bounding over to the armoured transformer.
"Hey Override open up," Lori said making her way to Override.
Disclaimer: Personally I think the people who made Transformers Cybertron should have had some romance happening between Coby and Lori. I hate it when two characters who obviously like each other never get to express it. But that's my opinion. Anyway leave a review on your way out and I'll bring you the second chapter whenever I can. Transform and roll out.
