Hey everyone! It's my first attempt on writing fanfics, esp. Transformers fanfic. First of all, I am sorry for any grammar, spelling and terms-usage errors, since English is not my primary language.
Second, this story is very AU. The story itself is set to be between the DotM and AoE, but most of the age settings are used during RoTF, with the characters in TF1 and TF2 are being partially used. So you may find Glen and Maggie in Dark of the Moon settings somewhere in the story.
Third, this story is intended to be updated constantly. Which means, I won't be stopping from posting stories unless if I wanted for. I try to schedule myself to post every weekends but that depends. So there will be a time where I could post 2-3 chapters in one week, and there will be also time where only 1 chapter will be posted in a month. But that depends, I can assure you. :)
Ooh and one more. I do not own Transformers or anything that is related to it. I also don't own the brands mentioned directly or indirectly in this stories. And apart from that, I never made any money from these things I mentioned earlier. So don't sue me, because seriously, I don't own any money right now.
So here you go. :)
Stretching both of his arms while giving out a very long yawn, Sam stepped away from his bed, reaching his towel that was hanging and redirect himself into the bathroom. He took his time cleaning himself up, as the scent of his bed is still lingering on him. It was the first day of his day on the NEST base here on the beautiful island of Diego Garcia and the third day of his college break. Sam was thankful to whoever the person who proposed for the NEST base to be built on this nice, peaceful island, and in his mind, the only thing he wanted to do right after this is to meet with his fellow human and Autobot friends.
"Hey Leo! You better be hurry or Bee will be frickin pissed off…" Sam shouted at Leo, who was still packing his stuff up. Eyebrows begin to arc, showing the sign of annoyance in his face as he shifted his weight sideways, and leaning onto the frame of the entrance.
"Wait a sec… Need to find my, ooh… There you are." Leo smiled as he grabbed his tablet and stuffed it in in his backpack. "Can't go without this baby. Okay, now I'm done." Leo dragged his suitcases outside, letting Sam to close and lock the door before they begin their journey on their second day of their college break
"Sheesh, dude. You don't have to bring that much." Sam muttered, loud enough to be heard by Leo.
"Well, what can I do? I don't have parents and soldiers and super-advanced alien robots to prepare stuffs for me."
"Fine, fair enough." Sam twisted the doorknob again, just to make sure that the door is locked. "Okay, now let's go. It's getting late and we surely don't want to miss the Carrier. Here, lemme help you…"
Sam offered help, and Leo gladly accepted it. He passed one of his suitcase to Sam, and followed Sam to wherever the self-driving super-advanced shape shifting yellow-coloured Chevrolet Camaro parked, waiting for them.
As soon as they came near the car, the trunk of the car opened itself. Sam and Leo walked towards the trunk, pushing the lid upwards, widening the entrance of the trunk.
"Thanks Bee."
"You're welcome, Sam." The car replied back to Sam.
Closing the lid, Leo and Sam moved towards the doors and they entered the car. Sam sit on the driver's seat while Leo sits beside him. Settling over with his seat, Leo swiftly took out his glossy tablet from his backpack, and placed the backpack on the passenger seat behind them. He swiped his finger on the display, then he begin to stream some music from his tablet to Bumblebee's audio system via Bluetooth connection. As soon as the song had started streaming, both of them drifted away from the reality with their own stuff, where Sam was starring outside and Leo was playing his tablet, making the car filled with only the music from the song which Leo had previously streamed from his tablet, and no human voice talking.
"Sam, your parent had arrived at the base yesterday." A friendly voice greeted the drifted college students, pulling them back to the reality. Bumblebee's voice had also override the volume of the audio system, gaining the students, which are also his best friends' attentions.
"Mom and dad? How did they get there? It's not like they could just raise up their hand and stop the Carrier just like they did in New York." Sam asked with pure curiosity in his expression. The happiness in the tone is noticeable, despite the struggle for Sam to show a stern face.
"It's Ironhide and Lennox who went to your house and fetched them." Bumblebee informed them, raising Leo's eyebrows. The stern look in Sam's face faded away, and was replaced with a more pleasant looking face. The longing for his parents' love and attention begin to settle down the moment Sam was informed about the presence of his parents in the NEST base, despite the way he usually interacted with them would get him slapped if it is not his parents who he was talking with.
"Cool Sam. Now your parent has a self-driving alien shape shifting car as their drivers." Leo jokingly elbowed Sam and he couldn't help but to just throw him a smile.
"Yeah, I guess." Sam replied.
The long trip which Bumblebee had calculated earlier felt like just walking down the park. The whole trip was filled with jokes and laughter and some head-banging club music which Leo had composed earlier on his Macbook. Maybe Ironhide was right. When there's somebody riding you on a long journey it'll make the trip shorter than you think.
At precise 2335 hours, they are now on their way to the NEST base which is located in Diego Garcia, an island located just above the Indian Ocean. The whole bumpy flight on the Carrier was filled with football matches… Well, not really a match, but a FIFA 14 football match. Leo brought his Xbox One earlier and it happens that the Carrier itself has a large flat screen TV installed. Thanks to Leo's evaluative thinking, which he observed that the crews in the airplane are just sitting around doing nothing and looked freakishly bored due to the fact that the airplane itself is an Autobot, he connected his Xbox to the TV and invited the crews to play together. It was a great game, with some of them are cheering and some of them take turns to play since Leo brought only 2 controllers with him. And again, the flight itself felt shorter than anyone expected, including the crew who had been working in the aircraft for long time.
The joyful cheer of the small group of crew warms up the atmosphere of the Carrier as they continue with their matches as the huge flying Autobot who was carrying them soared through the bright, moonlight-illuminated night sky.
Sam stepped out from the bathroom with his towel being wrapped around his lower body, exposing his ripped abdomen and long legs. He reaches his closet to get some outfits to wear and he was astonished with the way his outfits being arranged in the closets. He silently thanked Bumblebee who had asked Sam last night if he wanted his outfits and clothes to be hanged in the closets, and Sam could only answer a tired-toned "whatever" to him.
As he was busy with his attire, his phone rings and he quickly grabbed his phone on the nightstand, still charging on the dock. A familiar name was displayed on the 5-inch display of the smartphone and he swiftly swiped his finger across the screen, answering the video call.
"Hey dude. Where the hell are you?" Its Leo, and Mikaela. Yep, instead on using voice call, Leo prefer to use video call whenever he's spending his holiday here. It cost them some money to actually use their telco-bounded smartphone in here, and fortunately the WiFi speed in NEST base is freakishly fast, fast enough to handle simultaneously video calls in one time, and of course, fast enough to handle video conference between nations.
"Haha, hey. Not even a 'good morning'?" Sam replied, lifting his phone above his face level and turned himself so that he's facing the light.
"Okay, okay. Good morning. Happy?" Leo rolled his eye, and a smiling Mikaela is visible in the view. Guess then Leo must be using a phone with a wide-angle front camera.
"Better. So, what's up? Where the hell are you guys?" Sam smiled to them, satisfied with the greeting given to him despite it's a forced one.
"We're in the cafeteria, Sam. Your mom and dad is here too, cooking breakfast for the soldiers." Mikaela replied, now grabbing the landscape-oriented phone for Leo. She then lifted the phone, showing the soldiers behind them who's eating and scooping foods. One of them shouted Sam's name, and in seconds a cheer and greetings flooded the mic of Leo's phone, ultimately flooding Sam's dual, stereo speaker in his phone.
"Hey Sammie. Head over here. We've cooked some of your favourite meals and I can't wait to see you honey. It's been a long time and…" Judy Witwicky appeared and her face took over the whole view, but then was cut off by Ron Witwicky.
"Okay Judy. That's enough. Let's get going. You don't want to interfere with whatever the kids are doing."
"But my baby…"
"Nah, he'll be here soon. Now you are needed in the kitchen okay."
The view had now showed both Mikaela and Leo, who are looking and smiling towards the parents. "Okay Sam. You are soooo needed here." Leo said, sarcasm visible in his tone.
"Dang it, man. Hahaha. Okay, okay, okay. I'm on my way there." Sam couldn't help but laughed at the interference just now.
"Good. See you then." Leo hang up the call and the camera view from Leo's phone has now vanished from Sam's phone.
Without wasting time, Sam put on his sneaker, his favourite sneaker and walked towards the door. Pressing the button located besides the door, the door slides open, just like in the movie. He then exited from his what the crew here says "Personal Bay" and the door behind him closed automatically.
Ready to face whatever life will throw at him today, Sam started his steps, walking towards the cafeteria to start his day.
