A/N

About three years ago, as of when I'm writing this, I wrote this story. When I started this story, I didn't know there was a website for fanfiction. When I started this story, I thought one day I would print it out. when I started this story, I thought pictures made every story cooler. When I started this story, I didn't know about Beta readers.

To summarize this, when I started this story, I was young and a poor writer. I understand that the story is…well, a poor one. But it was my first, and I will never forget it. Someday, maybe I'll even reprise this and make it better. But currently, I have many stories that need my attention and will kill this old grandfather story if I dared try and restart it.

Well, to the few readers who actually read this or dare read this old story, thank you and I hope you enjoy my three year old, first fanfiction story…

Chapter 1

Stars and spaceships

Lights danced across the sky as the night dawned upon a small town. This town had a school and kids to go in it. There weren't many jobs in this town but adults and parents made a living in the city down the way. On this night one child struggled to get to sleep.

"Ug!" Niki whispered. It was 10:00pm and her family was fast asleep. Her little sister, Lilly, snore down the hall. Her older sister, Stephanie, had just settled into slumber in the room next door. Her parents had fallen asleep hours ago. Niki leaped out of bed. She walked to her window and stared out into the great waste of space.

"Wow! A star!" she yelled. She saw a bright star in the middle of the sky. It glowed and danced. She smiled as she rested in bed. Still in the corner of the window was the star. She smiled as she dozed off to sleep. She knew why she couldn't sleep. Tomorrow was a big day. The start of a new transformers series and the first day of the summer vacation count down.

"Gotta get up! Gotta get up!" Niki squealed as she rushed down the stars. Her floppy PJs brushed against the stair case. She jumped on the couch and switched on the TV. Cartoonnetwork showed up. It was announcing the new show, transformers animated. Niki watched on.

"Niki are you down here?" Lilly's voice squeaked over the sound of the show. Niki sighed and turned it up. Lilly slowly walked down the stairs. She frowned at her sister. Niki sat on the couch for the 90minute TV show beginning episode.

"Niki you've been watching this show since 9:30!" her mom's voice echoed through the room. Niki snapped out of her trance. She looked up at her mother. Niki gulped as she shut it off.

"Mom I'm sorry it was a new transformers series!" Niki begged.

"I know how much you love those transformers series, but I have had enough of your crazy for it! No transformers TV series for a week!" Niki sat frozen for a moment as if she was paralyzed.

"Mom?" Niki whispered. As her mom walked off Niki slumped up the stairs into her room. On one of the shelves there was an Optimus prime from every series even the golden ages ones. She lifted the newest one. Because of her uncle in toys-R-us she got the new transformers animated Optimus prime. He held his ax in one hand and had a gun in the other. The gun was attached to his arms and it shot out a grapple.

The night drew near. Niki stayed in her room all day. She only came down for dinner and art supplies. When 9:00pm rolled around Niki's mother walked into her room. Niki was by her window watching her star raise in the deep blue sky. Her mom smiled as she closed the door. Niki smiled and leaped under her bed. She pulled out a piece of paper.

"There!" Niki smiled. There tapped upon the window was an Autobot mark. She stood back and looked at it. If you stood in the right angle the star would shine through the mark. Niki smiled as she curled up under her blanket. She looked at the star. Suddenly it began to move. She gasped.

"If it isn't a star I hope it's an Autobot ship," Niki yawned, "come for me Optimus, I'm right here!" Niki soon fell asleep. What she didn't see was the star stop and glow in front of the Autobot seal. Niki pulled her Optimus prime toy close to her when the night was still young.

"Niki come and get it!" dad's breakfast call woke Niki in a flash. She rushed down stairs with her toy lodged between her arms. She squished into a seat next to Lilly. Her father set down a plate of eggs and French toast. Niki placed her toy on the counter. She lifted her fork and prepared to dig in. Then she stopped and whispered her prayers. Once she was done she dug into her food. Her father smiled as he cleaned up.

"Niki, I'm sorry mom grounded you from your shows but you're kind of crazy toward them," Stephanie snapped, walking by and swiping one of Niki's French toast sticks. Niki snatched her toast stick back from her sister's hand. She then ate it.

"Niki why might I ask did you bring that toy of yours?" Lilly asked. Niki lifted her toy and left. Lilly shrugged.

Niki looked out her window. Though the sun had just raised she wish for it to be night and to see the lovely star. She squinted her eyes. In the distends was her star. It was small and seemed very far away. She sighed. She looked back at her clock. 9:22 Am. She had to do something.

Ring! Ring! "Hello?" Niki called her best friend, Brittney.

"Hey B," Niki sighed. It was silent for a while. Niki waited.

"Niki, you know it's only 9:48?" Brittney whimpered. Niki sighed.

"I'm sorry Brit but I'm bored," Niki sobbed. Brittney got quiet.

"Then why don't you watch that transformers show that you like so much?" Brittney squealed. Niki held her Optimus prime toy.

"I can't," Niki whispered. Brittney was silent as Niki sighed.

"Why?" Brittney screamed, "You love those shows!"

"I am grounded from it," Niki cried. Brittney gasped.

"I'm sorry," Niki sobbed, "I'll hang up if you want."

"No, no, no! No need to," Brittney raced. Niki smiled.

"Well want to go to the park," Niki asked as she sat down.

"Sure," Brittney laughed, "let's go!" Niki marched down the stairs and up to her father. She stopped. It was only 10:03am!

"Maybe at 2…." Niki asked Brittney.

Niki and Brittney would only go to one play ground, Swansea kingdom. It had castles and swings but they didn't enjoy that they enjoyed the shade of one of the pavilions. They would sit and talk. Sometimes Isaac would come along and they would all play but this time Niki just needed to waste the time till 9:00pm. She was going to waste 3 hours here and then 4 more at home.

"Niki why are so desperate to waste time here?" Brittney asked. Niki looked away at the lake down the road then back.

"Well I want to see my star!" Niki pleaded. Brittney jumped.

"Star? What star?" Brittney scrambled. Niki looked at her deeply.

"There is a star I can see through my window," Niki explained.

"Niki no stars can be seen from our town because there are so many lights in the town and cities close by!" Brittney screamed.

"But I do see a star but I'm not sure if it is a star because last night it moved around and….."Brittney covered her mouth.

"It moved? Niki that was no star it was more likely a plane!" Brittney yelled. Niki sighed but smiled. Brittney backed up.

"Well I believe that it's a star!" Niki smiled.

"Niki you were almost late," her mother snapped.

"Key word almost!" Niki smiled sitting down in her seat. It was her favorite, tacos! She lifted up a taco. It leaked greasy sauce. She smiled. That was here favorite part of tacos. She took a bite. It was delectable!

"Niki it's bed time," Niki's mother had walked into her room. It was 9:12pm yet Niki was still staring out the window. Her star was up. It glowed and sparkled. Her mother lifted her up and threw her onto her bed. Niki smiled and laughed.

"You're getting to old for this after all you are a big 12 year old girl," her mother smiled. Niki looked out the window then at her mother who was leaving.

Niki saw another star. She smiled. She looked up at the clock. It read 11:28pm. Almost midnight. She turned back to the stars. One star had moved! It had rammed into the other! They seemed to be fighting. Niki growled. She raised her fist.

"Get away from them you evil Decepticons!" Niki screamed.

She covered her mouth with her hands. If it was 11:32 that means her family is asleep. She looked back at the stars. One star was getting brighter and brighter. Niki backed up from the window. The second star also grew brighter. Niki watched as a meteor flew over her house. She heard the crash of the satellite getting knocked off.

"Um," Niki whispered as she saw the first star coming at her house. She ducked on the ground. She closed her eyes as a great red flash shone through her window. She felt dirt and rocks rest on her. She stood up and looked through her window. There in her backyard was a fired up spaceship.

"What on earth?" Niki whispered. She slipped on her slippers and rapped her robe around her. She grabbed a flash light and ran down the stairs. Once she reached the first floor she heard her dog, Henry, barking at the door. Niki quieted him up with a treat. As he munched Niki opened the door. Her flash light blinked then shut off.

"I knew I should have changed these batteries," Niki wailed. Niki dropped her light and walked forward. It was a large ship. It had yellow mixed in with red. In the back of the ship it was grey. There, in the back of the ship, was the boarding dock. She looked it over. She blew on a small square pad. There were the open and close buttons. She closed her eyes and pressed a button. The door opened. It tried to extent but it just kept driving into the ground.

Niki gulped as she walked into the ship. It was dark and shattered. She heard the closing of the door. The tunnel became darker. Niki shuddered and continued on. She reached the command center. She gasped. It was so big but still so familiar. She saw five seats and five stations. She rubbed up against a switch. It began to play a movie. Niki turned around.

"Cybertron was a great planet till the war began. It was in peace for many cycles. That was till the Decepticons wanted the All spark for control and power. The Autobots thought otherwise. The war began but soon the Autobots had no choice but to send the All spark away….." Niki stopped the tape. She froze. Cybertron? Decepticons? Autobots? Where was she?

"I am in an Autobot ship," she whispered, "or am I in a…" she froze at the thought of the evil nasty Decepticons sneaking up behind her and capturing her. She gulped. She began to walk away from the controls. She soon was running down the long hall ways.

Niki ran into a long dark room. She looked around. There were round things sticking out of the walls. She felt the wall. The lights bounced on. Niki shielded her eyes. When she looked again she saw five pods. She felt the outside of one. It was cold. She brushed off some dirt and frost. She saw Bumblebee from her TV shows. She smiled at knowing she wasn't going to get attacked by Decepticons.

She saw a light in the distant. She walked through the room and entered another. She fallowed the light to an object. She gasped. There, bright and glowing, was the All spark! Niki lowered her hand. She wanted to touch it. The watch around her wrist began to hurt and spark. Niki pulled her arm back. The All spark grew brighter and brighter.

Suddenly all the lights came on. Niki looked around. She looked back at the room with the pods. Niki looked back at the All spark. A light shot out. Niki shielded her eyes with her arm. On this arm was her watch. It began to glow. As she looked at it she heard an opening sound. The pods!

"I've got to get out of here!" Niki screamed. She ran behind a crate. She heard them in the next room. She heard them stretch.

"What woke us up?" it sounded like Bumblebee. Niki froze.

"I'm not sure," it sounded like Prowl. Niki looked over the box.

"Let's check the All spark," that was defiantly Optimus prime. Niki ducked as she ran behind another box. She looked up and saw Optimus lead Bumblebee, Prowl, Ratchet, and Bulkhead into the room.

"It seems we just woke up," Bulkhead suggested.

"No we couldn't have. Something had to wake us up," Optimus answered. The All spark began to glow. The team backed up. The glow began to dim. As the team closed in again the All spark shot a light at a box. At that moment Niki's watch began to glow. She tried to cover it up but it wouldn't stop glowing.

"Bumblebee check it out," Optimus ordered. Bumblebee grumbled. As he walked over to the box. Niki ducked. Bumblebee looked over the box and saw Niki. She looked up and screamed. Bumblebee place his hands on his head. The rest of the team also did. Niki ran from behind the box and bumped into Optimus prime.

"Ah!" she screamed. Bumblebee picked her up. She crossed her arms.

"Put me down!" Niki wailed. Bumblebee set her down.

"What are you?" Optimus asked. Niki brushed herself off.

"I am a human girl! Or like you big Autobots would call an organic matter," Niki explained. Bumblebee leaned over.

"So you know about Autobots," he asked. Niki nodded.

"I don't trust it," Ratchet grumbled. Niki looked away.

"Well I'm sorry," Niki yelled, "but you kind of landed in my backyard!" The team sprang up. Niki began to walk off.

"Wait," Optimus hollered. Niki smiled and turned around.

"We could use some help around here. After all you know more about this place then we do," Optimus shrugged. Niki smiled.

She ran up to them. Ratchet shook his head. He still didn't trust her. She led them out of the ship. She looked at her house then at the ship. She looked up at the Autobots who looked everywhere. She shook her head. She yawned. As they looked around she walked up to the door. Bumblebee noticed this.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Niki yawned again.

"I need my sleep. I have school tomorrow. I'll leave you guys with one task. Find a new place to hide your ship because my parents will flip if they see this," Niki yawned. Bumblebee nodded.

"Oh and one more thing," Niki asked. Bumblebee turned to her.

"Tomorrow at 6:38am come to my house, right here, and we'll find you guys some disguises," Niki yawned. As she closed the door she heard the group talk.

As she laid down in her bed. The down stairs clock began to chime. Ding! Dong! Ding! Ding, dong! It was midnight once Niki finally fell to sleep.
