"Lilly, will you PLEASE keep that racket down?" my older sister groaned. "Seriously, how can you enjoy that crap?"
"It's not crap, its my favorite show!" I rolled my eyes. "I didn't call Naruto CRAP when you were addicted to it! Don't call Transformers Animated crap!"
"Uh, too late," she said as she typed on her laptop, probably talking to her best friend, Peter, in Wisconsin. She talks to him 24/7 pretty much, even if she doesn't admit it.
"Just shut up and let me watch me show," I said as I turned up the volume on the TV. The very first episodes were playing on a marathon, and I planned on watching every minute of it! In case you haven't already guessed it, yes, I'm a seventeen year-old who watches Transformers Animated. No judging needed here! Then the power was shut of.
"I hate these damn thunder storms," my sister muttered as she unplugged her laptop. NOOOOO! Now I can't watch the marathon! "Come on, time for bed."
"Fine," I grumbled as I walked slowly into my room. I climbed into bed and closed my eyes, listening to the calming fall of rain tapping on my window and the echoing sounds of thunder hitting the ground. The last thing I remembered before I went to sleep was a big flash of light that lit up the whole house.
~The Next Morning~
"Ugh, mornings suck," I said as I got up. I looked around, and gasped. I was NOT in my room at all! I was in some sort of alleyway, with skyscrapers all around me. Please note that I HATE BIG CITIES! "Where the hell am I?" Then I heard a scream from... Sari? No, it can't be! She's a fictional character! Then again, everything around me, including myself, is animated. Oooh, no. No way am I in a different dimension! I guess truth hurts sometimes. I've thought immensely about it, and I made a conclusion; I wouldn't survive in the Dora Explorer world, let alone a world where there are giant alien robots attacking things!
I ran around the city till I found Sari, along with Bulkhead and Bumblebee.
"Aww, did you lose your owner-bot?" Bulkhead asked gently. I smirked; a talking garbage truck isn't gentle, not one bit. Then Sari screamed again. Okay, that girl needs to tone it down! I covered my ears so my eardrums wouldn't get damaged that much.
"That thing must be armed with some sort of high-frequency sonic weapon!" Bumblebee exclaimed after she stopped screaming. No, 'Bee, just vocal chords!
"I think it's scared," Bulkhead whispered to Bumblebee.
"No dip, Sherlock!" I facepalmed. They turned to me, and I facepalmed again. Crap, now they see me! "Yeah, hi."
"Hi, at least SOMEONE talks on this planet!" Bumblebee said as he drove over to me. "I'm-"
"Bumblebee," I finished. "And Bulkhead."
"How did you know?" Bulkhead asked.
"I'm kinda from a different dimension," I shrugged. "And where I'm from, you guys are on a TV show, so I know all about you."
"Cool!" Bumblebee said before he and Bulkhead drove after Sari. Then Sari got grabbed by the large experiment-thingy. Noooooo!
"Uh, aren't you gonna help her?" I raised an eyebrow at Bumblebee as Optimus and my favoritest Autobot, Prowl, drove up to us.
"Whatever that is, it needs our help," Optimus told the others. "Autobots, transform!"
Then they did the whole transforming thing, making a pose and all that good stuff. It shocked me to see them all in person, but I kept my cool, staying on the down-low for as long as possible.
Optimus grabbed his axe, Sari was like 'Whoa!', and they all ran towards the creature, with Optimus shouting, "Autobots, attack!" and they started to fight it. Bulkhead hit it with his wrecking ball, Sari fell, Bumblebee caught her and ran her away from the creature, introducing themselves as he did so. I ran after him, not wanting to miss anything that would happen.
"What are you?" Sari asked Bumblebee.
"I'm an Autobot, from Cybertron," he explained, and after he said that, the drones started shooting at him, and he stung them with his stingers. I looked back at the creature, and it was sucking in Prowl. Nooooo, don't do that! I LIKE Prowl! He's AWEsome! Bumblebee ran out of the garage, leaving me and Sari.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Lilly," I told her. "I'm from a different dimension."
"Cool!" she smiled as she watched the Autobots fight. I heard Optimus talking to Ratchet via COMM link, and Bulkhead asking him about Prowl's energy signature.
"Yeah, but it's faint," Optimus shouted as he sliced a tentacle off of the creature.
Sari and I ran up to the top of the parking garage, and she was breathing heavily when we finally reached the top. I could see Telatran-1 giving Optimus the thing that makes the creature explode, then Optimus and Bulkhead looking at Bumblebee. Bumblebee took the gadget, and started racing up to the top of the parking garage.
I heard Optimus yell "Abort!", but Bumblebee was already going too fast to slow down now. He raced off the edge of the top of the building and transformed as the creature ate him before exploding into a white-ish powder.
"Bumblebee!" Sari shouted down at him. I knew everyone was safe, everyone but Prowl. Sari and I ran over to them, and we made it to them right after they loaded up Prowl on Optimus.
"Sari, Lilly, my friend's hurt real bad," Bumblebee's car form told us. Sari kept arguing with him, trying to make him let us come, Optimus yelled at him, the somehow, she tricked Bumblebee into letting us both go with him. I climbed in first, getting in the passenger's's seat; Sari got the driver's seat.
They all drove into Lake Erie, and Sari said,"Um, are we going to be able to breathe down here?"
"Oh, sure!" Bumblebee replied. "...What's breathe?"
They drove into the ship, Omega-1, and they all went into the medical room. Bumblebee stayed behind, driving slower. Then Sari kept being annoying, and he drove back and forth quickly, making my head hurt.
"Dude, stop doing that," I whispered, hitting the dashboard. "My head freaking hurts."
"Would you keep down?" he sounded annoyed. All of the 'Bots turned to him.
"Will you keep down-loading, information, you know, to help fix Prowl?" he said quickly.
"Did that nano-bot scramble your circuits?" Bulkhead asked.
"No!" he exclaimed after Sari hit the horn. "I mean, no, my circuits aren't scrambled!"
"Bumblebee, will you transform into robot-mode and get over here?" Optimus said, more of an order than a suggestion. Bumblebee said," Sure!" and drove over to the vent, threw us out, and transformed. We went down an chute to the room where the All-Spark was held. The All-Spark scanned both of us, but then flashed a bunch of pictures. A laser got to Sari's key-card, and turned it into her new key that can heal the Autobots.
"If you mess this up, you owe me my security deposit!" Sari said to the All-Spark before Optimus walked behind both of us and picked Sari up.
"How did you get aboard this ship?" he asked both of us.
"They followed me home," Bumblebee shrugged. "Can I keep it?"
"Hey, I'm not an 'it', I'm a 'she'!" Sari defended herself. "And she is, too!"
"So I suppose you have an explanation?" Optimus raised an eyebrow(?) at Bumblebee.
"Actually, I'm narrowing it down to my top five," he replied.
"Prime!" I heard Ratchet through Optimus's COMM. "You better get up here, now!"
We all were rushed into the medical room, where Prowl was 'unstable', as Ratchet said it. Sari's key started glowing, and was pulled towards Prowl's chest. Bumblebee helped her up, she smiled at him, and inserted her key into Prowl's chest. The whole room glowed bright, and when the light dimmed down a little, Prowl sat up.
"That was, quite the cure," he shook his head.
"Can all 'she' s do that?" Bumblebee asked. I shook my head.
"I don't even know how I did that," Sari told him.
"At this point, nothing surprises me," Optimus said. "I've seen more action in this solar cycle than my whole Cybertron service career."
I looked up at the screen, and I saw lots of police cars. Sari swallowed.
"Uh, I think my dad's looking for me," she gulped. Ratchet transformed and Sari got in; I, on the other hand, got in Optimus.
"Who are you?" he asked as we drove through the water.
"I'm Lilly," I explained. "I'm from a different dimension, I have no idea how I got here."
"Ok..ay," he sounded confused.
"Trust me, Optimus, I'm just as confused as you are," I told him.
When we got up to the surface, I got out quickly before the rest of the 'Bots transformed. Sari ran over to me. Man, she was shorter than I thought she would be! I am only five foot, and she was a few inches shorter than me!
"Put your hands where I can see them!" Captain Fanzone shouted at all of them.
"Why do they want us to do that?" Bumblebee asked Sari quietly.
"I don't know, it makes you look less scary or something," Sari shrugged. All of the Autobots in sight put their servos in the air, each making a click sound as they did so. All of the police officers then pointed their guns at US!
"No! Don't shoot!" Sari shouted. "They're friendly! Well, except for the red and white one, he's kinda grumpy, but other than that-"
"Sari!" Professor Sumdac exclaimed, running over to her and hugging her.
"It's okay, guys, you can put your hands down now," she told them, and they put them down. "Hey, Lilly, do you need a place to stay?"
"I guess," I shrugged. "Considering I'm not even close to being from here."
"Yay, sleepover!"
I ended up staying the night in Sari's room. It was difficult being in the same building as Megatron's head, but I had to deal with it. Nobody knows about it but me and Professor Sumdac, and he didn't know I knew about it, and I wasnt' going to tell him because that would mess up the time line.
The next day, Sari and I went to the ceremony thingy where Sumdac thanked the Autobots. When the ceremony was over, I went with Sari to the burger place and got some food. We mostly just hung out all day, and somehow we all ended up at the park. I sat in the grass in a peaceful position where I could meditate; yes, I'm that lame person who meditates. It really helps calm your nerves and slow down your heart rate. I could feel every movement around me, and I could tell Prowl was watching me, but then he sat down next to me and started meditating beside me. A few feet away, I could hear Optimus talking to Sari about protecting life. We stayed there till it got dark out, then Sari led them to this old, crappy looking building that they would use as a base.
"I think this is what you organics call a 'real fixer upper'," Bumblebee commented.
"Actually, 'fixer uppers' are much worse," I broke the news to him. "I've revamped houses that were twice as bad, this place is a piece of cake." Then I heard the firetruck sirens, and we all went to where the sound was coming from. I knew exactly what it was that was happening, there was a fire in some apartment building, and the Autobots saved the day. Again. SHOCKER, I know!
So after they 'saved the day', I decided that I wanted to spend all night cleaning that building; it's not like I have anything else to do, right? I worked for hours, sweeping and picking up debris while listening to my iPod that just so happened to be in my pocket still. Fancy that! I think I worked till about five in the morning, and by then the whole place was pretty clean. I could totally make this place a paradise if I got the right furniture, but I kinda don't have any money, so... Not happening.
"Ugh, I'm so tired," I grumbled as I found a corner to sit in and fall asleep. I found the corner, but I didn't get the sleep. I hate wanting to sleep but not being able to, and I don't even know WHY I couldn't sleep! Maybe because I'm in a cold little corner, or that I'm alone, or that it's dark. Darkness is okay, yes, but when I'm totally alone? I don't appreciate it!
So, after not getting any sleep whatsoever, I had to go to the ceremony for the new fast train for Sumdac Systems. The same place that Starscream will enter and demand the AllSpark. No way I'm missing that!
"Okay, who wants to take me?" I asked as all of the Autobots got ready to go.
"I'll take you, hop in!" Bulkhead said, opening his passenger door. I hopped in and buckled-up. "Did you recharge good last night?"
"Uh, no, I didn't sleep," I shook my head. My hair still looked fine, in it's curly waves like usual, but I really needed a shower. "What about you?"
"I had a good stasis nap," he said cheerfully. "I think everyone did. You cleaned the place up good!"
"Thanks, I worked very hard on it," I said. "This ceremony will be very... Interesting."
"What makes you say that?"
"You'll see," I told him, not wanting to let him know what was going to happen just in case it would mess up the time line.
The ceremony was boring, as I thought it would be, but when the aerial show started, I was on full-alert. Ain't no way I'm going to let Starscream do stuff!
"That's odd, I thought I only paid for six jets," Professor Sumdac muttered as he looked up to see seven jets doing an aerial show. Then Starscream ran straight for us!
"It couldn't be!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Yes, it can be, and it is," I nodded. "Starscream." They all looked at me funny, like 'how did you know?' Then the confused look vanished when they remembered that I'm from a different dimension.
Then Starscream shot at us. Right at me, to be exact. Prowl ran over, grabbed me, and quickly got away from gunshot.
"Gracias," I told him. He gave me a confused look. "It means 'thank' you in Spanish."
"Oh," he said. "You're welcome."
"Greetings, Autobots!" Starscream shouted. "Mind if I crash the party?"
"Uh, yeah, we do mind," I glared at him.
"A Decepticon, here?" Optimus was shocked, to say the least.
"The name is Starscream!" he exclaimed. "Exulted leader of the Decepticons!"
"Well, duh! I just said that!" I rolled my eyes. Crap, this grumpy-tired thing isn't really working for me, I'm just going to get myself killed.
"I thought that was Megatron," Bulkhead said.
"Silence, Autobot skiff!" Starscream screamed, shooting a laser at Bulkhead. Bulkhead and Bumblebee go hit and were smacked against the City Hall building, making some rubble fall off. Ouch! Ratchet and Optimus had to help them out before part of the roof collapsed on top of them. Prowl left my side and started running, with Starscream shooting at him. Luckily, he was dodging all of the shots.
"This will all end, and I will live, probably," I kept muttering to myself as I paced back and forth. I looked up, and somehow Prowl got on Starscream's back and was hitting him, and it really looked like it'd hurt! Starscream threw him off into a road, where he landed with a bang. Again, owww!
"I expected a little more of a challenge from such great heroes!" Starscream smirked. I SO wanted to slap him right then, but I'm short, and he's fifty feet in the air, so... No can do!
Optimus took his rope and wrapped it around Screamer's legs and tried pull him down. But it didn't work. He flew, and Optimus Prime went with him, flying through the air. When he was in the air, Optimus hit so many buildings... Owww! This dimension was fun to watch, but it scares me now!
"Holy friggin crap, I'm gonna die," I shook. I then got a good idea that would calm me down; meditation. I sat down, crossed my legs and hummed. I have no clue how long I was there, but when I finally opened my eyes, Optimus was slowly floating to the ground, looking hurt. I looked around, and he started falling faster and faster. Then I figured it out; the more I concentrated, the slower he fell! I concentrated really hard, only thinking of him, and again he slowly floated to the ground. When he finally made it safely, I ran over to him.
"Optimus, are you okay?" I asked quickly.
"What did you do?" he tilted his head.
"I... Don't know, exactly," I shook my head. "What happened?"
"I think you already know," Prowl's voice came from behind me. I looked back, and all of them were walking towards me, all safe as can be.
"Well, yeah, but," I stammered. "Crap, I messed everything up!"
"What was suppose to happen?" Sari asked.
"Optimus here was suppose to fall to his death, and your key was suppose to bring him back to life," I explained. "I messed it all up."
"I like this version better, where I'm not dead," Optimus chuckled.
"But you come back to life!" I pointed out. "Anyway, I have no idea how I did that! And if you say 'At this point, nothing surprises me', Optimus, so help me God, I will smack your blue face!" Then I facepalmed. "Sorry, no sleep does this to me."
"Apology accepted," Optimus nodded.
"I also need a tan, this whole snow-white skin is not good," I laughed. "And a shower. And probably breakfast."
"I can help you with all that!" Sari grinned, pulling out one of her dad's credit cards.
~after eating, tanning, showering & sleeping~
"Why do I always have this feeling that I'm gonna be killed in this dimension?" I asked myself quietly.
"Probably because you could get killed here," I heard Prowl say.
"Duh, mister Obvious," I rolled my eyes. "Smart-alec. Then again, not as much as Bulkhead."
"Wait, did she just say that Bulkhead, our Bulkhead, is a smart-alec?" Bumblebee almost fell over.
"Yep, just you wait!" I grinned. "You'll see, but not for another year-ish. I don't know how I'm ever going to get home, or if I'm ever even going home. To tell you the truth, this dimension is way better than mine. Mine's all boring, except for the racing."
"Racing?" Optimus questioned.
"Yeah, I drag race," I showed them a picture of my car. "Only goes eighty-five mph, but I think it's pretty awesome."
"And you are only seventeen?" Sari squinted her eyes.
"Yeah, actually, you could race," I pointed out. "You only have to be eight to race, at least in my dimension. I've raced against many younger kids, and they're pretty good."
"Are you good at it?" Bumblebee asked.
"I've won about fifty races in seven years, so I guess," I shrugged. "I've been second place in more than that, but won about fifty."
"Cool!" Sari exclaimed.
"I already know who's the fastest here," I looked over at Bumblebee.
"I know, I'm fast," he boasted, flexing his servos.
"I said fast, not strong, dumb ass," I groaned. "Sari, no repeating of the words I just said."
"Whatever," she grinned. Crap, that child spells trouble, I'm tellin' ya!
"I'm serious," I looked at her. "Oh, who am I kidding? I know five year old kids that cuss, but I hope you won't. Anyway, do you have YouTube in this dimension?"
