I do not own Transformers. I only own Jade.

Story Start

A phone ringing was never my favorite way to wake up, but that is how I was waking this Saturday morning. I opened my dark green eyes and rolled around in the bed until I could reach my cell phone on the night stand. My short brown hair was everywhere as I answered the phone and asked who it was.

"Jade, sweetie, you sound like you just woke up. Did I wake you up?" my Aunt Judy's voice came through the phone.

"No, I just didn't sleep well that's why I sound sleepy," I told her even though she had just woken me up.

"You woke her up, Judy. You know she doesn't wake up early on Saturdays," my Uncle Ron's voice sounded in the distance during the call.

"Honey, I'm so sorry, but I was just so excited to call you. You see, Sam's car is being a little weird and I wanted you to come check it out, if you have time today," my aunt continued and I just rubbed my hand over my face.

"I'll be there in forty minutes, love you too," I grumbled and hung up the phone before tossing it back on my messy bed. I looked back at the bed longingly, but I made myself get up and start getting dressed. Since I was going to work on my cousin's car, I jut put on some comfy clothes that I wouldn't mind getting dirty.

My aunt had called me to come check his car because I worked as a mechanic at a local shop in town. My uncle always made her call me so I would come look at it and fix it for free or a small charge if there was a part that was needed. I was surprised but happy that they finally bought my cousin a car, but of course, they got him a junky used one so it would be cheaper.

After locking the front door to my small house, I put on my helmet and took off down the road on my motorcycle. I wish I had a car but I really didn't have a big enough garage since I had to keep so many of my own tools and miscellaneous things in there. I also didn't want to leave the car outside to be bothered by the weather over time.

The drive to my aunt and uncle's house didn't take long, but I was slightly dreading my aunt's coddling. She loved me and I loved her, but she was such a super mother hen sometimes. I lost my parents when I was in high school so I wasn't used to all the motherly love. I was twenty five years old now, and I had taken care of myself for a very long time. My aunt and uncle did offer to take me in when my parents died in a plane crash, but I refused and got myself emancipated. I didn't want to be a burden on them.

"Jade, you're here, you look great, but I wish you would let your hair grow longer," Aunt Judy cooed as soon as I took off my helmet and parked my motorcycle in their driveway.

"Hey Aunt Judy, my hair is fine, and you look great too," I told her and she just giggled before pulling me into a hug. I flinched when she shouted to her husband that I was here. My ears would probably be bleeding if I wasn't already used to her yelling in my ear every time I visited this house. She could never stop hugging me and then yell at her husband or my cousin.

"Hey Jade, glad to see you," Uncle Ron called as he appeared around the back of the house and motioned for me to come back there.

"Good to see you too," I said as he pulled me into a side hug and we walked into the backyard together where the garage was. I made sure to not step on the grass since my uncle was kind of crazy when it came to the path he built and his grass. My breath left me when I finally spotted Sam's new car. Sure, it had some rust on it and a lot of dust, but it was such a beautiful car.

"Sam is still asleep, but if you could do a check up on it and maybe clean it up a bit," Uncle Ron started to say but I was already walking towards the car.

"No problem, I'll definitely check the engine and tires, but I won't be able to clean off the rust until I can get my tools from home," I called out as I ran my hand over the hood of the car. "You are gorgeous, even with the rust," I said with a big smile before I immediately got to work.

"Jade," a sleepy voice called out questioningly from the back door.

I turned around from where I was standing in front of the hood of the car. I smiled and waved when I saw my sleepy cousin standing in the back doorway in his pajamas. "Hey Sam, beautiful car, and nice pj's," I called out and laughed when he blushed and shouted at me to shut up.

Sam left the house and walked down the path to stand by me as I closed the hood of the car. "It's not beautiful, my dad bought me a piece of junk," he grumbled and we both jumped when the car gave off a rumbling noise.

"It's not a piece of junk. Sam this car is amazing. The engine is something I've never seen before but it is definitely in great shape and so is the rest of the car. All this car needs is a good washing and I'll need to get the rust off and re-do the paint job. It'll be as good as new, so you better treat this car nicely or I'll take it from you," I told my cousin with my serious look. He did not need to diss this car, it was amazing! I would love to have a car like this.

Sam sighed and gave me a quick hug as he thanked me for coming over to check out the car. "Fine, you're right. I'll take better care of the car," he told me and next thing I knew, I was inside eating dinner with everyone.

I got a hug again from everyone before I drove home. I didn't go my normal way home because halfway through the drive, I noticed a cop car following me. Eventually I was able to lose the cop car, but it freaked me out that one was stalking me for at least a good hour. I hadn't done anything that would make the cops be on my tail, but I would definitely be keeping an eye out for that cop every time I leave my house now.
