A/n: Bonjour! This is my very first FanFiction in Transformers and well, I hope you guys like it! It's an AU of the Transformers Bay movies, so I created it on my own and it is taken place 5 years after the battle of Chicago. I made this a Bumblebee/OC story because well, why not? He's my favorite Transformer and I thought this was a fresh idea!

FYI: We are going to pretend Cade and his whole family doesn't really exist AS OF NOW.

Enough of my rambling, I present Intro One!

Intro Part One: Remember the Battle of Chicago

"Taiga!"

Taiga snapped out of her thoughts as she heard her friend, Justin, call her name.

"What- huh? I'm here!" She shook her head, slamming her hands onto the table in front of her. Justin and her best friend, Liv, eyes her skeptically. "What? Do I got somethin' in my teeth?"

Liv shook her head, "No, but you have been spacing out a lot lately."

Justin nodded his head in agreement. Taiga being her oblivious self shook her head and frowned, "I'm a college student. Sometimes it's a good thing to space out. At least you two know I'm not going insane."

They chuckled, Justin speaking up, "I don't really think those correspond that well."

"'Correspond' my ass, Justin. Just focus on making out with Liv whenever I'm not around," She joked at the two infront of her. They both turned a bright shade of red, both of them giving Taiga a sheepish look.

"Quiet, Taiga, you're laughing now but when you find your beau you'll understand," Liv turned to Justin with glossy eyes. Staring into eachother's eyes adoringly Taiga sighed, shaking her head with a smile.

"Liv you know I'm not really up to date anyone right now..." She bit her lip as the memories of her break-up a couple months back flooded back into her mind. A painful pang hit her heart as she recalled the last words her and her high school boyfriend, Simon, had.

"Tai please! Just give me one more chance!" He pleaded, grabbing her hand as she attempted to walk away.

She whipped her head to him, eyes gleaming with tears and pain, "Why?! You've done this almost 3 times already Simon! THREE TIMES!"

"I know and I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you, Tai!" He pried even more but she couldn't even look at him. All the rage and sadness in her heart weighed down and she knew that she couldn't keep living like this. She couldn't continue on loving someone who obviously didn't love her eventhough he says so.

Biting her lip, she looks up at him, "How can you say that? How can you say you didn't mean to hurt me? So you just happen to sleep with another girl AGAIN?"

"Well no, but-"

"But what? There's no good side to any of this. You don't love me. You never did. I should've dropped you from the first time you went on that weekend long 'trip' with Kristi and 'somehow' ended up getting caught kissing her," She spat at him, snatching her hand away from him and making her way to her car.

"Tai! Don't do this. Please. I'm begging you," He got onto his knees once more gripping one of her hands. "I-I know I've been an asshole for doing this but what about all our good times the past 5 years? Remember? Graduation, prom, our trip to Hawaii for senior year..."

She felt her stomach be filled with nausea as she turns to him, reminiscing those good memories he just listed. Five years...five long years...Is she ready to throw all that away? A part of her wanted to hug him and say she forgives him but deep down she knew that this wasn't love. This wasn't healthy. This wasn't for her. Tears flowed down her face as she slowly removed her hand from his.

"I'm sorry, Simon. We can't be together anymore. I can't...I can't keep getting hurt..." She choked back a sob and struggled to let the words out. It was dead silent for a minute until she heard Simon sigh, a tear falling down his eye.

"You're right. I'm sorry for everything, Taiga. I hope you find everything you want in life," He said emotionless and turned around, walking away.

By that time Taiga had tears already soaking her cheeks and she held onto her car for support, crouching down onto the ground. She sobbed out not only the heartbreak inflicted onto her right now but also all the pain and agony she had been holding in for the past 5 years. In between her hiccups, she looked where Simon had walked away to, whispering, "I'm sorry..."

Taiga turned to the window beside her, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes as the same dull pain arose in her. It had gotten better the last couple months but there were still moments when it felt like she relived the break-up over and over again. At the same time, she has never felt more happy and carefree the last couple of months of being single. She felt a warm hand be placed above her clenched fist on the table. She smiled at Liv who returned a sympathetic one back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of him," Liv had a guilty expression on her face.

Taiga shook her head and smiled, "It's in the past already and I know you're only trying to make me happy, Liv, but when I find the right guy I'll know."

"You sure?"

"Absolutely, positively," Taiga nodded curtly.

"Atta girl," Justin patted Taiga's arm before turning to the food vendors around them, "Now enough of this sappy, sad stuff. I'm up for a burger, who's with?"

"Aye!" Taiga and Liv raised their hands at the same time.

"Well then what are we just sitting our fat asses down here for? Let's go!" Justin dragged the two girls from their seats and into a line.

Taiga packed up her remaining school supplies as she exited the lecture hall.

"Ms. Nighthale, may I have a word with you?" Professor Jenkins took his glasses off and waited at his desk.

Slightly confused, she walked over to him with a polite smile, "Yes, Professor Jenkins?"

"Now now you look rather flustered and nervous. Relax, it isn't bad news," He joked with her, noticing her red face and the tense stance she was holding.

She gave a sheepish smile but was relieved that it wasn't anything rash, "Sorry, I'm just on the edge. Finals and all."

"It all okay. I'm just here to...compliment you on your creative writing essay. I was very much impressed by how you incorporated science fiction, action and romance all together in one essay," He raised his eyebrows in amusement.

"Oh, thank you, professor. I sort of got some of the ideas from...uh..." She faltered for a second, remembering how her sources revolved around the battle of Chicago with the 'aliens'. "I got it from James Cameron's: 'Aliens' uh...it was a great film and yeah..."

He chuckled, shaking his head and giving her a look that said a lot in her case. "Ms. Nighthale, I was very aware of the Battle of Chicago a couple years back and I'm not going to as so fail you for being inspired by the idea."

"You got me," She raised her hands up and laughed but then became somber. In deep thought, she stared at her professor. "Do...do you believe they were real? The robots I mean or was it all just a..." She gestured her hands around her, "...government problem?"

He puckered his lip, analyzing what she had just asked him and sat back in his seat. He intertwined his fingers together and cocked an eyebrow at her, "Maybe, maybe not but what do you think, Taiga?"

Frowning, she thought about it for a moment. She had always been fascinated by the whole topic on the aliens due to the fact her mother was Sam Witwicky's cousin so in a way she was connected to it. Then again, she hadn't spoken to Uncle Sam in two years and the last time they had spoken he was working happily at D.C. with his girlfriend Carly. Her mom always said that he was in the battle but he never knew or saw any aliens but at the same time it felt like there was always something missing in the stories about Chicago, like there was a big hole in the middle of what truly did happen. At the end, Taiga shrugged, not really wanting to announce 'yes!' to her professor but at the same time not doubting the idea altogether.

"I guess someday maybe we'll find out," He closed his binder and stood up, gathering his belongings. "Get some rest, Taiga. You've worked hard in this class for the past two weeks."

"I mean my grade kinda depends on it," She snorted, running a hand through her hair. "Thanks again, Professor."

"It's no problem, you have a safe night now."

"You too..." She nodded, trailing off in her answer as she headed out of the doors. Around twilight time, it had already started getting dark around UCLA when she left the building but the air still pretty warm. Taking a deep breath, she tugged the other strap onto her shoulder and headed toward the front of the student union. She saw Liv already in Justin's car waving at her with a bright smile.

"Tai! Come on, you slow ass! We're going to get some smoothies!" Justin announced to Taiga from the driver's seat.

"Coming, you demanding buttheads!" She joked, hopping into the back seat. In the front, Liv swindled the radio knob until she had stopped at a station. Taiga heard the quiet conversation of her friends as well as the soft indie music coming from the stereo. It had been a tiring two weeks of prepping and taking finals that she only now noticed the amount of exhaustion her body was experiencing.

'Coffee isn't forever,' She thought to herself with a smug smile. It was five minutes into driving through the highway and Taiga had begun dozing off from the car vibration until a ground-rumbling boom awakened her.

"Oh my god!" She heard Liv shriek.

Whipping up she turned and saw the city from a couple miles away emit an eye-blinding explosion from one of the buildings.

What the hell was that?
