WHAT? ANOTHER STORY? I know I know, I can't help it. Seems like its been FOREVER since I late posted a new story, been busy trying to make a life for myself. So, enjoy!
Hi, my name is Rachel Smith, but you can just call me Ray. My story begins with a chance encounter with the 'bot that turns my life upside down and change's my destiny. And it all started the day I met said 'bot, Wheeljack.
It was a cloudy day in my home town of Gig Harbor, Washington. I was riding the bus home, grumbling over the fact that I was 19 years old and I still didn't have my driver's license, when I glanced out the window to see this nice looking white car with red and green stripes on the side and hood drive in the opposite direction of my bus. Usually when I see a nice car like that I'd admire it for a second and then focus on something completely different. But, something compelled me to pull the string to stop the bus. The bus stopped next to the same turn that I saw the car make, making it easier to track the car down, and got off the bus. But, unfortunately, that turn lead downhill which lead to a steep incline.
The car then made a turn at the park. I ran as fast as I could, ignoring the fact that my asthma was starting to act up. For some reason I had to catch up to that car and check it out. I turned into the parking lot of the park and saw nothing. There wasn't a single car in the parking lot, I swore that I saw the car turn there. As I turn to leave, I hear an odd sound not far away from where I was. That made me turn around and walk through the small field of grass and towards the river. I look to the right and catch a glimpse of something shiny go through the trees.
Curiosity now peeked, I run through the woods and stay as close to the river as I possibly can trying to find whatever it was that I saw. As I reached a nearby clearing, I see something that I was not expecting to see. It was a giant robot, and it was walking around with some sort of device in its "hands" that was continuously beeping. I seriously thought that my heart stopped in my chest I was so scared. I mean, I didn't know what the heck this thing was or what it would if it saw me. But, for some odd reason, I couldn't find it in myself to run away. It was like my curiosity got the better of me. As I continued to stare at it, I heard a familiar deafening sound above my head. I look up to see a jet circling above my head. Next thing I know, the jet turns a robot and nearly lands on top of me. Luckily I got out of the way in time. After my near death scare, I look at the robot and it's similar to the other one only slimmer with more grey colors and it had high-heels on its feet. The white one with red and green stripes looked at it in disgust.
"Starscream, what are you doing here?" the robot asked the jet-like one, Starscream.
"Why the reason you are, because of the strong Energon readings." Starscream said.
"You say that as if I actually care." The other 'bot said as it pulled out two katana-like swords, "Don't forget, I still remember that time you held me captive."
Starscream didn't budge, "You still hold a grudge ag—" Starscream was unable to finish his sentence, for he had narrowly dodged the other 'bot's blade, "Starting to lose your touch Wheeljack?"
The other 'bot, Wheeljack, didn't take the insult lightly. For he then punched Starscream in the gut, er stomach area, throwing him right into the tree I had been hiding behind. This caused me to step out into the open so I wouldn't get smashed by the tree as in smashed from Starscream's fall. This then left me to stare at Wheeljack who was now shocked to see me. I froze, not knowing what to do. Then I noticed Starscream getting up, so I ran towards Wheeljack figuring it would probably be safer near him. As Starscream got up, he noticed me standing closely to Wheeljack and smirked.
"I see you've gotten yourself a pet." Starscream said smugly.
"Hey! I'm nobodies PET!" I say breaking my silent streak.
"She's not with me." Wheeljack said.
"Is that so? Then," he pointed his missile at me, "you wouldn't mind if I exterminate this little vermin?"
At that moment, I thought my knees would give out I was so scared. The moment I thought he would fire at me, Wheeljack slashed his arm away nearly severing the robot's hand. He then continuously punched and slashed at Starscream before he finally turned back into a jet and flew off. Wheeljack then put away his blades and looked at me. I stared at him in shock as he walked towards me.
"You okay?" he asked me.
I looked up at him, "Y-Yeah, alittle shaken up, but I'll live….My name's Ray by the way."
"Wheeljack."
"I know. I heard the other 'bot call you that." I give him a gentle smile.
"So, what are you doing here anyway?" Wheeljack asked me.
I paused, what the heck was I doing here. It took me a second to gather my thoughts when it came back to me, "Well, I was looking for this white car with red and green stripes when a noise caught my attention and found you walking around. After that, that transforming jet you called 'Starscream' nearly landed on me. TWICE! And I think you know the rest"
"I see, so you just happened to be walking by when you saw this car?"
"No, I was riding the bus when— OH CRAP! I gotta get home, but I don't have enough money for another bus ride!" I then begin to panic.
"I can take you home" he tells me.
I look at him oddly, "No offence, but a giant robot walking around town will cause quite abit of panic."
"Who said anything about walking?" Wheeljack said as he transformed into the car I saw earlier.
"THAT WAS YOU!?" I said in shock, "NO WONDER I COULDN'T FIND YOU IN THE PARKING LOT!"
The passenger side door then opened, signaling me to come in. I stare at the door. I knew that once I got in, my life would never be the same. I figured it was worth it, I mean, what could possibly go wrong and got into the car.
The drive to my house wasn't as pleasant as it could have been. Well, I guess that's what you get when you mix my poor direction giving and Wheeljack's distaste for four way stops and round abouts. But, we eventually arrived at my Dad's house. We parked afew feet away from the driveway, so my Dad and Step-Mom wouldn't get suspicious. I then look at the steering wheel, leaning in a way that causes my short brown hair to cover my brown eyes.
"So, is this the part where you tell me to keep quiet and pretend that this never happened and that we'll never see each other again?" I say sad at the fact I may never see Wheeljack again.
"Well, I still need someone to teach me about the customs of this planet and a local that knows this area well." Wheeljack tells me.
"'This planet'?" I said curiously, "You mean you're not man-made?"
"I'll explain more tomorrow when I pick you up." He says.
"So, we'll see each other again?" I say sounding hopeful.
"Yep, I saved you so now I'm responsible for you." Wheeljack said.
"Alright, well, I better get inside. Don't want Rose and Dad to worry." I say as I get out, "I'll see you tomorrow Wheeljack!"
"See ya tomorrow Ray." Wheeljack said as I shut the door to the car.
As I reach my front door, I turn to see Wheeljack drive off. I smile as I open the door to my house and greeted my parents.
To be continued…..
So, what do you all think? I know I shoulda made this chapter longer but, for some reason, I just can't. I'll try my best to make them longer but no promises. Also, the character Rachel is sorta my alter ego, so there will be some similarities between us but i'm still still not giving out every single detail about me and my life. just saying.
Please read and review!XD
