Summary: When a girl develops cancer the wish foundation is giving her three wishes. All she wishes for is to meet the Autobots. Now the governement knows it's time to let at least ONE person know about their existence.
Chapter 1: Sentenced to Death
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS? I CAN'T DIE! I HAVEN'T LIVED MY LIFE AND NOW YOU TELL ME I'M GONNA DIE?" the young teen yelled angrily and sadly at the doctor who had just diagnosed her for cancer.
Doctor Peter Blunt shook his head sadly and said to her "I'm sorry Angelica. If you want to live then we will have to operate immediately and remove your left leg.".
Angelica growled in tears that ran down her face. "Angelica... Please try to understand... We've done everything we could to try and cure it but nothing will work except for removing your leg.." Angelica's father Jacob Peterson said sadly.
Angelica growled "DON'T TELL ME I CAN LIVE WITHOUT MY LEG BECAUSE I CAN'T! IF YOU TAKE IT AWAY I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS I LOVE ANYMORE!".
Angelica sat down in the chair and sobbed. Jacob approached his daughter and placed a hand on her shoulder but she pulled away angrily. Angelica burst into the hall of the hospital angrily and wiped the tears from her crimson eyes. She sobbed in the hall ignoring the people that passed by her and stared. Angelica couldn't believe she had just been sentenced to death in a way. She wouldn't be able to live if they didn't operate and she wouldn't be able to live if she had her leg taken away from her. She wouldn't be able to swim, run, or play soccer. Angelica wouldn't be able to do the only the things she loved too do. Angelica tried to stop sobbing but just thinking about all of the things she would lose after her surgery made everything worse. 'I thought you guys would come for me... I believed you guys were real... Now I will never know... Please! I'm about to die... I NEED to know you guys exist!' Angelica thought. She was thinking about the Transformers. She had believed since she was really little that they existed. She had believed even when her friends thought she was stupid for doing so. Angelica stared down at her shirt which had Optimus Prime on it and sighed. She wiped her tears away and clutched her silver Decepticon insignia necklace. Nothing was going right in her life right now.
Angelica wished she could just have a normal life like any other tween. Right now she felt like she was an alien. It's true she wasn't the only one with cancer but being a kid without a leg is 'alien' to many. Angelica sighed and walked back into the room. Her father went up an caught her in a hug which she gratefully returned. She started to sob again as she clutched her father's shirt while hugging him.
Doctor Blunt then approached the two and said to Angelica "We will begin surgery on Wednesday which is two days away. Make sure you don't eat anything that day and bring something to entertain yourself before the surgery.".
Angelica slowly nodded with tears as she returned her face into her father's chest. Her father stroked her hair and said to her quietly "Shh... Everything will be okay... You're brave Angelica this is just another run... You need to tackle the obstacles head on and overcome the struggles... You'll be alright... I promise...".
Angelica sighed and asked "Does this mean I won't be going to school this week?". Her father chuckled then nodded.
Angelica sighed and held her father's hand tightly as the two walked away from the hospital and to her father's black 2007 Chevrolet camaro. Angelica got in the passenger seat, buckled in, and they drove off to their home in the inner city. Soon enough they pulled into the driveway of their home. Angelica hopped out and walked with her father inside. It was a large house for just the two of them. Angelica plopped herself on the leather couch that was in the living room, turned on the large 15 inch high definition plasma flat screen TV, and began to watch Transformers. Soon enough her father joined her with a bowl of popcorn and Angelica leaned into her father's shoulder while they watched together. Angelica yelled like she was actually in the movie "YEAH BUMBLEBEE! KICK BARRICADE'S AFT!". Angelica's father never understood why she loved Transformers so much but some of the things she did made him laugh like now. They continued to watch and when Bumblebee was captured by S7 she burst into tears. This happened every time she watched the movie. She knew what happened after but it still saddened her like she was there. Every day Angelica lived in her own little Transformers world. She spoke like she was living in their world. Her father remembered the time when she got mad at a boy that threatened her. She had said "HOW ABOUT I KICK YOUR AFT, SHUT OFF YOUR VOICE TRANSMITTER, AND RIP OUT YOUR SPARK?". The boy instantly ran off and never tried it again.
After they finished watching Transformers Angelica yawned and asked sleepily "Could I please have an energon cookie?".
When Angelica was tired she would say the weirdest things. Her father laughed "I think it's time to go to bed.".
Angelica said sleepily with a weak smile "But I still haven't had my energon cookie!".
Her father laughed and dragged her upstairs to her room that was PURE Transformers. The walls were covered in Transformers wallpapers and there were some posters. Her shelf was covered in Transformer convertible action figures that were almost uncountable. Her bed was also Transformers. Her closet was also filled almost completely with Transformers apparel.
Angelica's father tucked her in her bed and kissed her on the forehead before saying "Goodnight Angelica. I love you.".
Angelica smiled and closed her eyes as she drifted off to sleep. Her father left the room and went downstairs to watch some TV. The next morning Angelica awoke with a big yawn. She stretched out in her bed and groaned as she did so. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. Suddenly there was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Come in." she said sleepily.
The door opened to reveal her father with a small box in his hand. He smiled and handed it to Angelica as he sat down beside her on her bed. She sat up and asked "Who's it from?".
Her father relied "It's from your cousin Jeffery. He heard about the news and since he couldn't be here he decided to send you a present.".
Angelica sat up and opened the box. She gasped when she saw the contents. Inside the box was an AllSpark shard necklace replica she had always wanted but couldn't find, a Transformers: Dark of the Moon-Foundation comic book, a Transformers tote bag which had a picture of Ironhide aiming his cannons and beside him it read: You feeling lucky punk?, a pair of jeans with the Autobot insgnia on the left thigh, and a Transformers movies box set that was shaped like Devastator!
Angelica gasped and said "I wish I could thank him now... These are amazing!".
Her father smiled and asked "Why don't we give Jeffery a call?".
Angelica nodded and her father came back with a phone in his hand. He dialed Jeffery's number and handed the phone to Angelica as it began to ring.
After five rings an English accented voice asked "Hello?".
Angelica said "OH JEFFERY! THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE GIFTS! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!".
Jeffery laughed and asked "You like them?".
Angelica replied "YES!".
Jeffery laughed and asked "So how are you?".
Angelica replied "Good besides the... You know...".
She didn't want to mention it. She was too happy too.
Jeffery said "I'll be coming to visit as soon as I can so I thought while you waited I would get you something.".
Angelica smiled and said "These are the best Jeffery! Thanks again! I guess I'll see you soon!".
Jeffery said "Yes you will. Well see ya!".
"See ya!" Angelica said before she and Jeffery hung up.
Jeffery was 21 years old, had brown hair, blue eyes, was muscular, had tanned skin, and was tall. Jeffery was Angelica's only cousin but he lived a ways away so he wasn't always able to visit. He had a job, wasn't married, and also liked Transformers but he wasn't a huge fan like Angelica. She knew everything there was too know about it.
Angelica handed the phone to he father and asked "So what are we doing today?".
Her father replied "I thought you might want to go for a road trip.".
Angelica asked "Where are we going?".
Her father replied "Wherever the road takes us! We'll be back later tonight.".
Angelica nodded and slowly hopped out of bed when her leg ached with pain. This usually happened. She clutched her left leg and asked "Can you please get me my medicine?". Her father nodded and handed her the pills she took that helped ease the pain enough so she could walk normally. Instantly the pain went away and she walked over to her closet to pick out some clothes. Her father left and Angelica picked out a tank top that had a picture of Megatron on it, the jeans that Jeffery had given her, her favorite bee-otch air freshener earrings, the AllSpark shard necklace Jeffery had given her, and her camouflage Volcom sneakers. She slipped off her Autobot PJs and put on her new clothes. She then went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and her long red hair. She graves her new tote bag from Jeffrey put in the comic, her Starscream, Optimus Prime, Shockwave, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Megatron, Ratchet, and Soundwave action figures, and her cellphone before heading downstairs with the tote swung over her shoulder.
When she got downstairs she headed to the kitchen, grabbed a fruit and energy bar, then headed out to meet her father at their camaro. She hopped in, buckled up, and the two were off! Her father turned the radio on to Angelica's favorite rock station and the song 'Break Away' by Blind played. Angelica's father watched her eat and sway from side to side as the song played.
He chuckled lightly and asked "So are you ready to face your own Decepticon?".
Angelica didn't understand what her father meant. Her father said "You know the Autobots fight Decepticons right? Well we fight our own Decepticons as well. Yours is cancer. You have to fight it like it's a Decepticon. You have to overcome it. Do you get what I mean?".
Angelica thought about this for a second then nodded. She then said "I think I'm ready. If the Autobots can beat up the Decepticons then I can bet up cancer!".
Her father smiled. Angelica's expression then turned sad as she asked "Will my friends ever feel the same about me? Will I still fit in? I think fear is another Decepticon of mine...".
Angelica's father replied "If they don't treat you the way they did before then they aren't really your friends. I'm sure there will be someone that will still be a true friend.".
Angelica slumped back in her seat sadly and said "I don't think anybody will be my friend...".
Her father sighed and patted her shoulder still keeping an eye on the road ahead. Angelica stared at the highway and went into her own state of deep thought. 'I'll never fit in like I used too... Nobody will treat me normally... I'd be... Alien to them... I wish the Transformers were here to take me away from all of this...' Angelica thought sadly.
Her father noticed her saddened expression and suddenly Angelica's question caught him off guard "Do you have any Decepticons?".
He continued to stare at the road as he slowly replied sadly "I... My... My Decepticon is the fear of losing you... I've already lost your mother and yore the only one I have left... Promise you won't leave me Angel... I wouldn't be able to live without you and your Transformer loving personality... I'd be so alone...". Angelica hugged his arm and replied "I promise dad.". He smiled and they continued driving.
After about five hours the two stopped for lunch in a small town. They hopped out of the camaro and made their way into the little restaurant. They were led to a two person table right beside a window. They sat down one at each end and ordered their drinks. Angelica stared out the window with a blank expression as her father watched her with sadness. He would give up his own life to make sure that Angelica could live normally. Without cancer. Without her own Decepticons to fight. Angelica wasn't thinking, her mind was open and clear as she stared out the window and onto the street as cars, trucks, and other vehicles passed by. The waiter soon came back with their drinks and they ordered. After when they waited Angelica continued to stare out the window as if she were in search for something... But what?
Angelica's father then asked Angelica "What is it?".
Angelica didn't answer. She continued staring out like nobody was around her. Her father asked again. This time she answered still staring out the window "I just need a sign... Something... I need to know...".
Her father asked confused "Know what?".
Angelica replied "I need to know that THEY exist... There must be a way to know! If I die not knowing then I won't ever rest in peace. I need an answer...".
Her father still didn't know who she was talking about. He didn't ask any questions. Soon enough their food came and the ate. Later after they were done Angelica's father paid the bill, left a tip, then they both headed back out on the road again. Angelica didn't speak, move, or touch her Transformers. This wasn't a good sign. All she did was stare out the window. Soon enough it was staring to get dark. They had already stopped and ate dinner and now they weren't far away from their home. Once they pulled into the driveway Angelica walked emotionlessly into her room, changed into her Optimus Prime PJs, the fell asleep without a word to her father. Her father sat sadly in the living room extremely worried about his daughter. WHO did she want to know existed? That question troubled him and the fact that Angelica wouldn't be the same after her surgery the next day. He sighed and stared at a photo on the wall. It was of him, Angelica, and a woman. Her name was Cloe. She had been Jacob's husband and Angelica's mother.
She had passed away five years ago. Jacob sighed and said to the photo of Cloe "If only you were still here... You'd know what to do...".
The next morning Angelica didn't want to get out of bed. She didn't want to face what was not far ahead of her. She was scared of facing her own Decepticons. She knew she had to be strong yet something scared her inside. It was the fact that she wouldn't be the same Angelica after she walked out of that hospital. The fact that she would be abnormal. The fact that she would be 'alien'. Jacob walked in Angelica's room and found her staring at the ceiling deep in thought. He picked up her tote bag, iPod, and her stuffed toy and put them on the end of her bed before sitting down beside her and stroking her cheek. Angelica wanted to cry. Jacob knew she was going through a hard time and soon she wouldn't be the same... He handed her one of her pills and she took it before standing up and making her bed. Her father left the room. She got dressed into a camouflage tank top with the Autobot insignia on it in red, blue, and white, baggy ripped jeans, AllSpark shard necklace, silver Autobot insignia earrings, and black flip flops. She grabbed her bag and stared at her room before shutting the door and leaving it for who knows how long. She sadly walked down the stairs to the living room, grabbed her Transformers movies box set, stuck them in her tote, then she headed out to her father's camaro. She had a blank expression the entire way to the hospital and her father tried to ease her inner pain but nothing seemed to be working.
Once they pulled into the hospital parking lot Angelica got out silently before walking beside her father into the hospital. They made their way into the check in and Angelica got a bracelet that had all of her information on it. A lady nurse led them into a waiting room where Angelica continuously moved her Optimus Prime's battle blades into different positions as if he was in battle. Jacob sighed at his scared and sad daughter. He took her small hand in his big one and held it tight. Angelica looked up at him and stared blankly into his eyes. Suddenly a nurse called "Angelica Peterson.". Angelica held her father's hand as they walked into the children's ward where children 3-16 stayed. She was led into a room of her own that was pure white, had a TV, radio, and medical equipment around the bed. Angelica sighed "I want to go home...". Her father knew why. It didn't seem like home. It was so... Blank. It wasn't filled with Transformers. It seemed so lifeless too Angelica. Angelica then was given a white hospital gown. She slipped it on and her father tucked her into the bed. Jacob sat beside his daughter and stroked her cheek gently until the nurse let them know it was time. At that moment a single tear fell from Angelica's eye and she knew from then on her life would be full of more and more evil Decepticons she would have to face on her own.
