To Learn, or Not to Learn Ch. 1
There are many things that we humans don't understand. Space, and what is in it, is one of them. –Anonymous
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the blackness of space, Earth is just a small speck of dust. But to those searching for a new home, traveling for hundreds of thousands of years and crossing light-years of dark cold space, it was paradise. Though some claim that it was just tad bit more organic than they like while others looks like they had just hit their new favorite candy store. And of course there are those who were just glad to see land. Especially since their enemy was scattered across the universe and the very power source that granted them life, before it was destroyed, gave them a vision of the planet that would be a wonderful place to live.
So, now, they were just a bunch of ships looking for the most opportune moment to go down, and then another one to join the locals. And what better way to meet the locals and their culture than to learn through their offspring?

Sam Witwicky was having a normal day. Mikaela Banes, his girlfriend, was having a normal day with him. They had just finished their finals, and were now waiting for the cursed bell to ring so that they, along with Miles Lanchester who was Sam's best friend, could be free for the summer. They were almost there too, but then an announcement went out for people to stay inside and for those who were outside to head inside.
"Oh, man," Miles groaned. "How much longer do they want us to stay in here for?"
The whole school, the whole state, heck, maybe the entire world was holding their breath. A small earthquake occurred, but that was it. When the all clear was given, the kids shot out of their seats, to their lockers, to the front entrance, out to the outskirts of town, only to find tanks, soldiers, and cops everywhere.
Sam and Mikaela were just shocked at the sight while Miles was drooling over the sight of a giant alien ship that was currently there. It was huge, bigger than Tranquility itself. Orange and red-orange plating covered it, and it had landed, which explained the little earthquake.
And everybody was heading toward it! It was nowhere near any trees, buildings, or anything of those structures so there wasn't anything broken. Tanks surrounded it, and cops along with soldiers had their guns pointed out at what looked like the entrance. Civilians were pressed around them, and as Sam, Mikaela, and Miles got closer they saw at least four giant alien robots.
One was a brilliant red and black along with being tall, another was the same size as the red one, but a daffodil yellow and black. The third was silver and short, really short, with four claws for hands. The fourth one had three fingers and a thumb, radical yellow that would most likely blind a person if they stare too long with two black racing stripes. All of them had blue optics, except the silver bot. He had a visor.
Sam, Mikaela, and Miles were just amazed that there were aliens just outside their backyard when Sam was pushed from behind. Being near the front with the soldiers and cops, he was pushed straight out of the circle to be seen by the giant robots. Mikaela and Miles rushed forward to help Sam while Trent DeMarco and his cronies laughed, only to find themselves in the gazes of four giant alien robots. They looked as if they were curious as to why three humans stepped out of the ring that surrounded them. But before any of them could take a step towards Sam and the others, a strange screech was heard and the four bots and the humans turned to see a black and white robot with a red V-thing on his forehead was calling out to the other bots that were outside.
The bots looked at each other, the silver one shrugged, and all of them trooped inside. But the radical yellow one looked back at them, and Sam and Mikaela felt as if they were destined to be with this bot for the rest of their lives. Miles had somewhat the same feeling, but just that he would be involved with the bots along with Sam, Mikaela, and others. Quickly, they backed up to the ring and escaped to Sam's house. Once there, Mikaela asked the question that was on everyone's minds.
"Ok, what just happened?"
"A giant ship full of giant alien robots practically lands in our backyard, the military shows up, and we nearly made first contact with aliens." Sam said.
"Did anyone else feel like we're connected to them somehow with them, or is it just me?" Miles asked.
"I felt it." Sam replied.
"Me, too," was Mikaela's response
"So what do we do now?"
Sam sighed. "We wait."

(A week after landing)
"Is the plan clear to everyone?"
A chorus of 'Yes, sir's echoed around him, then the majestic head nodded once. The human military left them alone four days after landing, so they had been bidding their time until they could get their charges.
The human government might already know of their plans, because they had hacked the information network trying to find said charges. Now, they were ready to move.
"Autobots, roll out!!!!"

(Lennox farm)
Captain William Lennox was not happy. His wife, Sarah, was not happy. Annabelle was just fast asleep. But that was not the reason why the two new parents were upset. No, they were upset that they were being forced to leave their home in cuffs by an agency called Sector Seven and that Annabelle was being put in a completely separate SUV.
"What the hell do you think you are, taking our daughter away like that?!" Will snarled. Sarah was trying to get to Annabelle, but S7 agents kept forcing her back. Finally, they were shoved into the black SUV. Unknown to the agents, they were being watched by a black GMC Topkick and a dusty blue Jeep Wrangler who were very angry that their family was being kidnapped.
.: I'll get the sparkling. You get her creators.:. Commed the Jeep.
.: Meet you back at base.:. replied the Topkick.
They separated, the Topkick following the SUV with the adults in it while the Jeep followed the baby. The Topkick got closer and closer to the black SUV. It was almost three-thirty in the morning, so nobody was there when the Topkick transformed into a giant robot that stopped the SUV cold by stomping on its front grill.
All Sarah and Will saw for about thirty seconds was a Topkick transforming into a robot and then smashing the grill in. Then blackness overtook them, and they blacked out.

Sam and Mikaela were having a bad day. First, Trent and his lackeys thought it would be funny to separate Mikaela from Sam and then throw him into the lake.
After being fished out of the lake, Mikaela then learned that her father was going to be in jail for another year for punching a guard. She used Sam's shoulder as a table to cry on.
And all the while, a radical yellow 2009 Camaro with black racing stripes kept following them around! Finally, Sam had enough.
"Will you go AWAY?!?!" he yelled, whipping around to face the car.
The Camaro stopped. Sam and Mikaela stared at it a little bit longer, then went back to walking towards Miles' house. Little did they know that Miles was already abducted by a Volkswagen beach buggy.
The Camaro started up again. Then, it revved its engine, gunned it, and then, at the same time opening the passenger door, spun and caught the two teens. Closing the door, the Camaro did a U-turn, and burned rubber.
Fortune had it for the Camaro, but not for Sam and Mikaela. Nobody was there when they screamed.
Turning on the a/c, the interior was filled with a sleeping gas that wasn't harmful for humans. Soon, the teens were dead to the world, and the vehicle continued on its way to the alien ship.
