A woman looked outside as cars and trees zipped by. She looked obviously bored, having to be seated in the backseat for some reason. She sighed, as the one who drove heard it. ''awh, come on, Luna. You shouldn't be so down you just got here!'' the middle aged man said. He was probably around his 40's. The woman sighed again. ''I know I know. I'm trying to go have some fun but you can help by saying where we're going!'' she said in a pouting voice. She could hear a chuckle coming from the man's throat. ''you'll see honey. you'll see'' The woman rolled her eyes and looked out the window again.
After a few moments she could see that they drove to a school, halting near the sidewalk and seeming to wait for someone. Luna looked around curiously until she realized. ''no way...'' she said as she looked at the driver. ''you got to be kidding me!'' ''I'm not'' the man said with a big grin on his face. Just then a familiar boy came running out of the school, holding a piece of paper. In a swift movement the woman had thrown herself over the side of the car and sprinted out towards the boy. When she was near him he tackled him into the hug. The boy was of course not expecting the sudden hug as he almost fell over but managed to catch himself just in time. He grabbed the woman's shoulder and pushed her back to look at her. He scanned her over with a confused expression. ''This is nice and all but who are you?'' he asked confused.
The brown-haired woman rolled her eyes again and hugged him once more. ''I can understand you don't recognize me. After all I left when you were 5. I'm really sorry Sam.'' she said as she backed away from him. ''I'm your big sister'' she said with a big grin.
A look of realization crossed his face as he studied her face once again. It was then he realized that she did look a lot like him, only more mature. The woman's smile grew bigger. "You're my older sister, Luna." He said as he grew a grin of his own. The woman laughed and chuckled. "Dad has told me so many stories about you!" He said. Then he remembered the papr in his hand. "Look what I got. 3 A's and 2000 dollars. Which means I will have mu own car!" His smile seemed to grow even bigger as he thought about it. "That's great! C'mon let's get in the car" she said motioning to the vehicle waiting behind them. Sam nodded and poited at her "we will catch up later" Sam said in a playfully demanding tone
Luna nodded and Sam stepped into the passengers seat, showing the middle aged man his paper. "A A minus?" He said reading the large letter at the top of the paper. "It's an A, right?" He said hopefully. The man shrugged and gave in with Sam let out a happy 'yes'. They drove off after Luna got into the back seat.
it didn't take long for them to arrive at a Porsche garage. Luna raised an eye brow. She was wondering if her dad, Ron had become less cheap enough to buy him a Porsche. Sam started yelling out in amazement as he looked at the garage in wonder. Ron laughed and said he tricked the poor boy. Sam's smile instantly dropped a mile as he looked forward with a look of that said 'I'm not talking to you'. Luna shook her head at both of them as Sam started to show his displeasure to the old man.
As they drove into an old junkyard it seemed, Sam sighed deeply. They drove past a weird looking clown who seemed to be complaining about something but it was inaudible. None of them knew however a yellow car was following after them. They stopped near a tank station and Luna jumped out of the car behind them. it was so cramped in there, she had to pull up her legs in order to fit in. She stretched as she had been sitting like tht for a while now. They had stopped near a tank station that was rebuild into an office it seemed. Luna looked at all the rows of cars as a black man walked over to them, introducing himself and saying some stuff that would make his cars sell better, you know, the shop talk.
Sam started complaining about how the cars were trash. Luna ignored them and just looked around all the cars. She completely zoned out of their conversation as she looked around at all the cars laying around. Most of them didn't look very well, most of them on the point of breaking down into a million pieces. She didn't think she would actually like any. How she was wrong. In the corner of her eye she saw something blinking. She turned around to see a car. A yellow car with 2 black racing stripes. He didn't look much like the others, and yet she felt attracted to it somehow. She had a suspicious feeling nagging in the back of her stomach.
She slowly walked over to it, opening the door slowly and stepping into the drivers seat. She then noticed it was a Camaro. She felt how the seat felt so comfortable and slightly warm even. Probably the sun. She grabbed the steering wheel and looked it over. She brushed over the knob in the middle, seeing a strange symbol that seemed oddly familiar. ''what is this?'' she whispered. Suddenly the radio seemed to turn itself on as a small song played. ''how does it feel, baby?'' it was a song that she had known for quite some time. She raised an eyebrow and fiddled with the radio a little until it shut down again. ''weird'' she mumbled before she starts caress the wheel and the gear shift. Somehow she could hear some sort of purr from the front of the car. She grinned, thinking it was just her imagination.
She then heard a knock on the window as she looked to see Sam in front of it. She opened the door and moved over to the passengers seat, looking around there. Sam almost did the exact same thing as her excluding caress the gear shift. He also was amazed by how it looked and felt, some kind of connection. Bobby was right. The driver don't pick the car. The car picks the driver. As if on cue Bobby came over to check, saying he didn't recognize the vehicle. Him and Sam started to argue as Ron declined the offer. Luna sighed, feeling disappointed.
''I'm sorry, honey. We won't be taking you home today'' she said as she caressed the dashboard affectionately. She turned to open the door only to find out it wouldn't budge. She tugged at it a few times until giving up. She crawled over to the other side, trying the door that Sam just used to get out only to find out that one was busted too. The radio began to flicker again and a raspy voice was heard. ''cover... your ears'' it said in different voices. Luna raised her eyebrow once again, wondering if it was a coincidence. Just then she could hear a high pitched sound and she soon covered her ears and ducked down on instinct. She reached for her back pocket, only to find out it was empty. ''damn it!'' she cursed. She looked out to window to see a lot of cars beeping and their windows shattered.
She also saw Bobby looking around in amazement, his mouth hanging open and a look of pure horror in his eyes. He turned around and yelled ''4000!'' Luna smirked. ''seems we got you now, beautiful'' she said with a big smirk. She somewhat hugged the steering wheel and tried the door again, finding it was able to move now. She stepped out and walked over to Sam. ''you just got a beauty, Sam Witwicky''
A few hours had passed since they bought the car. Luna had asked Sam if she could take him for a drive. He agreed with some disagreement but she convinced him. She grinned as she stepped into the drivers seat and plugged in the car keys. She would just be going for a small drive, she was wondering how he would ride. She started up the car as it let out a happy roar. She drove away quickly onto the road. After a few minutes of driving she had ended up on a deserted road, humming a song she likes a lot.
A few moments later the radio started buzzing again, ending up with the song 'I'm on my way' by Phil Collins. Her grin widened even more as she starting singing with it, her voice becoming louder and more enthusiastic as the song went. At the end of the song she was singing at the top of her lungs, the people that were riding beside her looking at her like she was crazy. When the song ended she took a deep happy breath and looked at the radio. ''what a coincidence'' she mumbled. Again the radio started buzzing, settling on a raspy voice. ''you have a beautiful voice... darling'' For some reason her face brightened slightly as she stared at the radio. ''thank you?'' she said unsure.
She was silent for a few moments, just driving towards home now. Once again her hand traveled to her back pocket, feeling that this time there was something small in it. She took out a small lighter, examining it in her fingers. On the front there was a symbol. She squinted her eyes to see it better as it was faded. That's when she recognized it. The same symbol was on the steering wheel. ''what are you?'' she mumbled to herself. The next second a loud truck horn could be heard and the car made a sharp jerk to the side. Luna could hear a faint ''asshole'' coming from the driver she almost crashed into. Somehow she moved out of the way. It fell silent, only hearing the sounds of the roaring motor. She sighed, It was just her imagination. And it almost got her killed. She stuffed the lighter back into her pocket and kept driving.
She returned home, parking the car near the garage for Sam to use. He said he would be going soon also so she needed to be back within an hour. She also refueled for him. She sighed, closing the door and leaving the car alone for now. She headed inside, tossing the keys at Sam. ''He still has some things we have to work on. The radio for instance'' she said. ''other than that you're good'' she smiled softly. ''you have a nice car, Sam''. Sam nodded and headed outside. ''I'm going out!'' ''11 o'clock!'' mom and dad yelled after him.
