Chapter 1 - The Call
Jack sighed boredly as he laid there on the couch, watching Miko and Bumblebee played against each other in a racing game. Ratchet typed feverously on his computer with Raf along side him as Arcee and the others were on a Recon mission. His ringer came off and everyone paused, glancing at him. Taking his phone out Jack saw that it was his mom who was calling. He pressed call and put the phone to his ear. "Hello?" he said.
"Oh Jack" he heard his mother sigh in relief. "Good, I just want to let you know that Marga(short for Margaret) is coming to live with us" she said. "What?! Why?" he asked surprised. Miko pursed her lips and put a hand on her chin. Bumblebee whirled and beeped in concern.
June Darby sighed from inside her car. "Her parents have recently been killed in a fire three days ago Jack" she said, resting her head on the steering wheel. "What..."Jack trailed off in shock. He stayed silent for a while, processing this information.
"Jack? Are you there?" his mother asked in concern. He snapped out of his thoughts.
"Uh, yeah, yeah. I'm fine. So when's Marga coming? I miss her already" Jack said in a light happy tone. June smiled lightly to herself as she said "She'll be here by tomorrow at 5 pm. Do you think you coul-" "Pick her up? Got it mom" Jack said, cutting her off.
She smiled a bit wider. "Thanks Jack, I'll see you at home. You better come home safe without a scratch" she said the last sentence sternly. Jack laughed a bit nervously at this. "Haha, I'll try. Bye Mom!" he said before hanging up. He soon sighed and put his phone away.
Miko rose a brow at this. A sly smirk grew on her lips. "So...who's Marga?"she asked, poking his shoulder. Bee beeped in curiosity. Jack groaned a bit and covered his eyes. "Marga's my little cousin from California. She's coming over to live with me and my mom" he said just as the ground bridge opened with a bright green swirl of sparks.
Engines revved and vehicles shot out from the ground bridge. Ratchet soon turned off the ground bridge and turned towards them. "Well?" he asked. The blue and red semi truck slowly transformed in clicks and whirls and stood 25 feet at most, his name Optimus Prime. "It appears we have yet to find a energon mine old friend" he said, his deep wise tone vibrating off the walls.
Ratchet sighed in dismay. "Very well" he said before he turned back to the computer screen. The rest behind soon followed his lead and transformed back. Arcee stretched her servos a bit before she stared down at Jack with a half smile. "Anything new today?" she asked.
Jack smiled back and said "I just have to pick up my little cousin from the air port tomorrow, if you don't mind." Arcee glanced at Optimus for some sort of permission and he nodded.
"That settles it then" she said. Jack sighed in relief. "Thanks Arcee" he said.
"No problem" she said.
Jack relaxed against the couch as he stared up. He hoped that Marga would hopefully not be caught in what he had been.
