Part one- Familiar faces and a kiss

"Hey Gemma!" I shouted at my best friend. "Whatcha thinking about this?" I showed the young woman my newest Artwork. The blond girl walked over to me. She smiled when she saw my Picture. "Hey Ironhide!" she yelled. "Get your aft over here and look at this!"

: Flashback :

4 months earlier

"Believe me Stella! I´m not kidding you!" Gemma explained. I just shooked my head in disbelieve. "Sorry, but- I just can´t believe that you´re working at an Army-base near Diego Garcia." I answered. Gem, that´s her nickname, sighed.

"Listen," I started again. "I know you now for over one year and now you´re tellin´ me that you work with the Army? Why not earlier?"

"That´s difficult Stella." Gem told me. "I couldn´t tell you it because… uhm. Oh well just drive and you´ll see!"

I rolled my eyes and pushed the gas pedal.

After two more hours of driving and discussing, we arrived a small coast. "Where exactly are we?" I asked skeptic. Gemma smirked, but said nothing.

"Let me guess. We´ll arrive an Army- base called NEST where giant Robots walking ´round. I´ll meet Major Lennox, he will tell me that you are working with Optimus Prime, bla bla bla…." I said with a disbelieving groan.

Gem wiped a blonde strand away and nodded. "Could say so."

I hammered my foot onto the brake. The tires of my small Suzuki screeched loud before we stopped. "What?!" I yelled. Gemma laughed. "Calm down Stella. We still have three miles to drive. C´mon."

I shook my head. I was confused, pissed and just couldn´t believe what my best friend told me there!

She's making fun of you. This can´t be true. No! Autobots don´t exist! Or? No! They're just animated Robots from a movie! I thought.

But Gem looked so serious. Could it be…?

Three miles later, Gem told me to turn left. We drove along a small, wavy path. I could see big skid marks. Only Army-vehicles have this big tires…

Okay, I started believing her that she was working for the Army. But NEST? Really? I raised my eyebrow and looked at her. Gem just sat there and stared out of the window.

Five minutes later I had to stop. There was a tall chain-link fence in our way. Black uniformed soldiers stood in front of it. They were armed, of course and looked distrustful at my car. Gemma stepped out and waved friendly at the soldiers. She talked a while with them, before one turned around, running to giant hangar. I felt uncomfortable. Curious I looked at the Base. It was a tall building. Tall enough for Robots?

I sighed and shooked my head…again. This couldn't be real.

After several minutes the soldier returned. In company with a man I used to know…

I shortly thought about it. His face looked kinda familiar to me. He had dark hair, a small pointed nose and smiled friendly at Gem.

Oh my god! I thought. No…this can´t be real…no… was this really the man I thought he was? Gemma gestured me to step out.

With shaking legs I hopped out of my car and walked over to the her. "You must be Stella. Nice to meet you. I´m Major Lennox." My jaw dropped. Major Lennox? THE Major Lennox? Major friggin´ Lennox?! From the movie Transformers? I blushed. "Uhm hi. Nice to meet ya too." Shyly I waved at him and his soldiers.

"Gem told me already something about you. She said you still won´t believe that we´re NEST." I blushed even more! "Uhm…yeah?"

"Well, listen. What I´ll tell you now, is beyond top secret, okay? Tell nobody about it. What you´ll see is… very special."

I just nodded. I felt like a kid who´s told that Santa Claus climbs trough the chimney at Christmas-night.

Lennox pulled out a small card of plastic. "Please wear this visitor-pass. We just have to do some formality."

I looked questioning at Gem. "You know… tell Pentagon that you´re a member of NEST and so on…" She answered.

My eyes grew wide. I´m a member of this fucking Army- unit?!

"I know this must sound crazy to you. I hope you´re feeling well." Lennox said.

Feeling well? Was he kidding me?! Of course I felt well!

"Uhm yeah thanks." I pretend to look calmed. Actually I was a bit surprised how easily I had become a part of all this. Seriously, was it normal that a top secret Army-unit allowed a stranger to step into their quarters so easily?

"Please excuse me. I need to phone Pentagon." Lennox left us at the entrance.

"Well Stella. How does it feel to be member of NEST?" Gem asked me with a big smirk. I nudged her. "It´s…awesome! I mean…wow! This is…." "Stunning?" she finished my sentence. I smiled. "Yeah."

Ten minutes later the Major came back and showed me the way into the Base. "Welcome at NEST, Miss." I was stunned. Actually it looked like a usual hangar. Grey walls, a long hallway, some soldiers… But there was one big difference. Giant Robots walking around!

Well… I didn't saw them for the first hour. But only the fact that they were here made me unbelievable happy.

Gem, Lennox and me entered a small room. Looked like the meeting room.

"Please take a seat." The major said with a smile. I did how I was told. Nervous I looked around. Gemma placed a hand on my shoulder. "Don´t worry. You just have to fill out some forms. And then you'll meet our special team." She winked. I gulped, but smiled.

As Gem told me I had to get over some forms. Insurance, top secret informations, Pentagon etc…

After I signed the last form Will Lennox accompanied us to a big entrance hall. It was colored white. I saw the american flag, uniformed soldiers and the NEST insignia. It showed the Autobot sign inside a black circle with the slogan If I tell you, I have to kill you. I giggled. Gem looked at me and nudged my shoulder. I looked up. My eyes grew wide. Not because of the metal stages were important looking men and women were walking around. It was because of the tall Robot standing in front of it. My jaw dropped. Red and blue paint with these familiar air brush flames?

"Oh my god" I whispered. Gemma laughed. I was standing next to Optimus Prime. OPTIMUS PRIME! He was real! I nearly fainted. But in fact that this would be pretty embarrassing I tried not to. My legs were shaking badly, I felt my throat drying. I gulped.

And then, he turned around. Optimus fucking Prime turned to me and smiled!

"Hello. My name is-"

I didn't let him finish. "Optimus Prime!" I screamed excited. I laughed and tried to breath. "Oh my god! I´m so happy to see you! This is so awesome!"

Prime chuckled. " I understand. Welcome to NEST." "Oh uhm my name is Stella. Nice to meet ya!" I still don´t know what my face looked like but Gemma laughed so hard when I met Prime for the first time.

After one hour of calming me and introducing the other Autobots I sat down on the ground. This was so surreal. But true! The Autobots existed! I just met my idols, my hero's… I still couldn't find the right words.

Willingly I remember the day were I become a member of all this.

: End of Flashback :

Ironhide looked down to Gem and stepped closer. "Look what Stella has drawn." She pointed at me. Proud I lifted my newest Artwork up, so Ironhide could scan it easier. It showed me sitting on his shoulder.

The black Mech kneeled down. "Good job Stella. I like it." He said. I smiled.

Hide and me fastly became friends, after Gem introduced me to him. Tough we were friends, it doesn´t meant that he was always nice to us.

We often quarreled or made fun of each other. Actually Hide was okay, but sometimes he was the biggest asshole on the damn planet.

But he was also the hottest thing on this planet! Well, in my opinion….

Only Gem knew what I really felt for the trigger-happy Mech. I´d never tell him that! Too strange and embarrassing.

Ironhide smiled back and turned around. We were outside of the base, at a small shooting area. You can always find Hide here.

I shuddered a little when he smiled. It looked so damn sexy. I bit my lower lip. Gem giggled and nudged me. "Tell him!" I fastly shooked my head. "Are ya insane?! No! I can´t tell him something like that." I snapped.

Hide stopped and turned his head a little. "Tell me what?" Shocked I gulped. "Oh uh…nothing´…. No really. Nothing important."

Gemma rolled her eyes but said not a word. I looked pissed at her. "Would ya stop talking so loud about that?!" She laughed. "Stella. Why are you hiding your feelings? I know you like him. Much. That´s not forbidden."

I grunted. "Yeah but it´s also not normal!" The blond woman sighed. "Stella! What are you more afraid of? Loosing him as a good friend or getting rejected by him?" I looked down. "Both." Gem smiled kind. "Aww. Don´t be so afraid." I shrugged. I felt Hide was looking at us.

"Hey Gem!", he finally shouted. "Can ask you something?" The girl nodded. "Sure. What is it?" Hide looked at me then back to her. "Under four optics -

uhm eyes." Gemma raised an eyebrow, but stepped away from me.

"So?" she asked the Mech. "Well, Christmas time is coming…uhm…and I´d like to give Stella a small present. Like I gave you last year. But I dunno what she likes." He answered sheepish. Gem smirked. "Well she likes rock music. You could buy her the newest CD of her favorite band." "Hm she told me that she already has the new Album." The black Mech shifted from foot to foot.

Curious I watched them. What the hell was he asking for? "Hey guys! Watcha talkin´ about?"

Hide grunted. "Just a second Stella!" Turning to Gem. "So? Any other ideas?"

The girl shrugged. "She also likes Transformers. May you can get her a poster, or something other?" "Good idea. I´ll ask Lennox if he´d drive into the city and looks out for something like that." "Okay then."

Meanwhile I was getting bored. "Hey guys! I´m dying here because of loneliness!"

Ironhide rolled his optics. "Yeah, yeah. Stop complaining." Both were coming back to me. "So" I asked. "What were ya talking ´bout?" The Mech sighed. "Nothing that interests you." I braced my hands on my hips. "Oh really?" "Yeah really!" he snapped back. "That´s mean. I also tell you everything I talk about!" I said angry. "That´s not even true!" I winced. He was right.

I didn't told him everything. And I would never do.

I wanted to say something else, but didn't found the words. I just sighed and walked away. "I´m tired of arguing with you." Ironhide snorted. "Really?" I whirled around. "Yeah! Really! Why are ya always so bitchy?"

Hide looked surprised. "What?" "Yeah, got that right! You´re an asshole!"

Gem looked at me. "Stella! Calm down!" But Hide just laughed. "I know I am."

My jaw dropped. "Oh how awesome! The big asshole knows he is one!"

Gemma still tried to calm me. "Stella, please…"

Hide snorted. "Yeah I know I am. And I don´t care. I like myself."

Gem looked up to him. "But you don´t have to be an asshole all the time."

Hide shrugged. I rolled my eyes. "What?" The Mech asked. "You´re unbelievable." I answered annoyed. Ironhide smirked. I know…"

That´s it! "Oh my god! You´re so damn arrogant! Argh!" I whirled around and stormed away. "Oh yeah very adult…" I heard him saying. "Shut up!" I yelled.

Now Ironhide was also pissed. "No! Sorry but that´s the way I am! If you have problem with it piss off!" "Who do you think you are?" I shouted back. "I´m Ironhide! You crazy Femme!" "I´m not a Femme! I´m a woman! Woman! Can you say that word you stupid punkass!" Hide growled.

Gem just watched us with a shocked expression. "Stop talkin´ to me like that Stella!" Ironhide shouted. "I talk to you how I want!" I snapped back.

"You´re just a bitch sometimes!" "Yeah and you are a dirty swine!" "You´re so pissy!" He yelled. My head nearly exploded. "And you´re so fucking sexy!"

"What?!" Hide looked at me like I lost my mind. I just covered my mouth. "Oops…"

Gem started laughing. I glared at her then at Ironhide. "Uhm…sorry. I didn't meant to-" "It´s okay." He interrupted me. I blushed. Hide also looked a bit embarrassed.

"You guys are cute." Gemma said. Ironhide and me chuckled sheepish.

Gem sighed and grabbed my arm. "Hey wha-wait!" I shouted when she pulled me away. "Stella. You need to tell him. Now" I strongly shooked my head. "No. I can´t." "Stella! You have to! C´mon."

"What´s the matter?" I heard Hide asking. Finally Gem made the first step. "Hide, she needs to tell you something. Get over here."

Ironhide did how he was told. He raised an optic ridge and glared at me. I blushed-again. "Uhm….this is kinda difficult." I started. Hide sighed impatient. "I..uh..well. I…" "Oh Femme c´mon! What´s wrong?" He asked. "I discovered feelings for someone…" The black Mech looked annoyed. "And that was all you couldn't tell me?" "These someone is you!" I yelled. Hide´s optics grew wide. Gem giggled. "I know this sounds crazy and exaggerated. I feel really bad. I know you'll never have the same feelings for me. And I understand that. I bet there's a Femme waiting for you. Isn´t it?" I asked sad.

Ironhide kneeled down and smiled. "No. Actually there is no Femme." I tried to smile. "But still. I´m a human and you´re an Autobot." Hide shrugged. "So what." "It´s nice that you take it easy. I guess it would be the best if I won't talk to you the next days," I wanted to turn around. I felt like I´m going to cry. But Hide didn't gave me a chance. He grabbed my chin with one metallic finger and pulled me close to his faceplate. I nearly fainted when our lips met for a small kiss. I saw Gemma smirking. I gasped when he pulled away. He smiled kind. I blushed and looked up into his faceplate. God…his smile. It was so attractive.

"Seems like we have a new perfect couple." Gemma said. I glared at her. "Har har!" "What? I´m serious!" she replied. Ironhide chuckled. I leaned forward and whispered into his audio unit: "I love you."
