Okay, so this is my first Transformers Prime fanfic and I'm more use to writing stories for anime, so go easy on me people! Over the past few years I've become a fan of the show Transformers Prime and after reading a few fanfic I decided 'Hey, why not give it a shot?'
*This story starts sometime after "Convey" and before "Deus Ex Machina."*
Please also ignore any grammatical errors if at all possible; I apologize greatly for them for I am not the best when it comes to spelling either (even with spell check XD)
Now enough of my pathetic ramblings! And on with the story!
I don't own Transformers Prime, or any of the characters in it. I ONLY own my OC!
…
Ch 1. New Girl and First Encounters
A young 15-years-old girl lazily looked out the window of her parents BMW glaring at nothing in particular. Next to her was a younger girl of 12 who was happily listening to her ipod with the music blaring out of her headphones. The older girl merely rolled her eyes.
It had been a long drive from her home state of Pennsylvania to Nevada, and her parents had recently gotten a new job opportunity in some small-unknown town called Jasper. She looked down at the brochure in her lap and raised an eyebrow.
The brochure said: 'Welcome to Jasper, Nevada! The Entertainment Capital of The World!' The girl highly doubted it. She had never heard of such a place called "Jasper" and who the hell names a town "Jasper" anyways?
"We're almost there girls!" Their mother shouts excitedly from the front. Her hair is long and light brown that matches her eyes, and wears a light green short-sleeved top with a long ankle-length brown skirt.
"Oh…great…" the girl mutters monotonously earning her a glare from her dad, a man with curly dark brown hair in a white shirt and black trousers and glasses, in the driver's seat.
"Ray, we don't want to hear it. Why can't you be happier about this like Carmandie? Look! She's practically dancing with joy!" The girl, or Ray, glanced blankly at her younger sister, who instead of dancing with excitement, was dancing to music.
"You do realize she has her headphones in, right?" Ray deadpanned causing her father to stiffen slightly.
"W-well at least she hasn't complained as much as you have! You're only moving a few stats away-"
"A few states? Dad! We're on the other side of the flipping country! That's not a few stats, that's NINE whole bloody states!" she exclaimed. Her parents didn't reply. They had gotten use to their oldest daughters outbursts ever since they announced their move a few months back.
Ray huffed before looking at the suburban houses as they past. They all looked the same, two stories with a red or black roof and made of white concert. Nothing special. The family's car pulled up in front of house with a "SOLD" sign in front of it and Ray mentally groaned at the sight of it.
Guess it's official... She thought.
Ray was the last person out and she happily stretched her arms after being in the car for so long. She put her hands on her hips and scanned the neighborhood with her bright green eyes before sighing. A light breeze blew past her as she brushed some of her chocolate brown hair out of her face.
Her hair was inside pony tail that ended a bit past her shoulder. She wore a bright green tee with a picture of one of her many favorite TV show characters, GIR, from Invader Zim. On top of that she wore a short-sleeved black leather jacket and navy blue jean with a brown belt and red converse.
"Ray, can you please get your bags?" Her mom asked. Ray sighed and nodded.
"Yeah sure, whatever." She muttered boredly going to the back of the truck. She reached into the truck and pulled out a suitcase and a heavy purple backpack filled with everything she would need to survive in this new place.
She swung her backpack over one of her shoulders and carried her suitcase with her free hand.
"Need any help?" she heard a small voice asked. She looked to her left to see a young boy around the age of 12 poking his head over the white fence that separated the property borders. From what she could see, the boy had brown spiky hair and red glasses.
Ray shook her head. "No, I'm good. I'm Ray Carson by the way, I take it you're my new neighbor?" she asked and the boy nodded.
"Yeah, it's nice to meet you, I'm Raf. Where'd you move here from?"
"Pennsylvania." The boy, or Raf's eyes widened slightly.
"Wow, that's pretty far. Why'd you move, if you don't mind me asking." He added. She shrugged.
"My parents got good job opportunities here and took them. So, hens forth we moved to Jasper, Nevada: the "Entertainment Capital of the World."" Ray half joked quoting the brochure making both of them laugh.
"Yeah, they really need to change that thing." Raf sighed before suddenly looking down at his phone.
"Oops! I gotta go. It was nice meting you Ray, see ya later!" Raf said quickly before running off. Ray smiled for the first time in weeks and waved.
"Yeah, see ya!" She called out, but not before giving a small glance at the yellow muscle car parked outside of Raf's house. Ray frowned as she stared at the vehicle and had the oddest feeling it was watching her.
Ray quickly shook her head. No Ray-Ray, you're exhausted; you're only imaging things. She mentally told herself. But the feeling of uneasiness still remained until she entered her new home.
Ray put her things upstairs and took a look around her new room before flopping onto her new bed instantly falling asleep.
…
Ray's P.O.V.
About two days have passed since I first arrived here and after all that unpacking it was time for my first day at my new school.
Why the hell couldn't I be home schooled?! I mentally sobbed as I made my way down the sidewalk.
Two days and I was already going crazy, mom and dad had yet to set up the data plan that would allow me to call or text my friend back home and I haven't really seen Raf, my new neighbor, since we first met. He seemed like a nice kid, but every time I saw that yellow car out front I always got this odd feeling, like it was…watching me some how.
Yes, I know, I sound crazy. I probably am crazy (and I have the physiatrist to prove it), but it's just this odd feeling that I can't shake off.
After a few more minutes of walking I spotted what looked like Raf lying on the ground surrounded by a bunch of older kids and frowned.
What the-? Seems you'll find these jerks in any state… I thought darkly shaking my head and ran up to them.
"Hey! What the hell do you people think your doing to him?!" I shouted pushing a guy around my age with a mop of reddish hair out of the way before kneeing down next to Raf.
"Hey! Watch it pony tail!" the boy growled but I ignored him.
"Hey Raf, are you okay?" I asked concerned. Raf looked up and I saw his nose was bleeding. My eyes widened slightly before narrowing and turning to face the group.
"What hell is wrong with you?! Why don't you try picking on someone your own size, you jerks?!" I shouted. The guy with the red hair just laughed. I'm assuming he's the one in charge of this group of loons.
"Tch, we're just having some fun. Whattcha gonna do anyways? Lecture us to death?" he sneered. I stared at him blankly.
"Don't be ridiculous," I smirked slowly standing up, "I'm gonna do this!" I shouted and reeled my fist back before it collided with his face; knocking him to the ground.
"Heh, for someone who talks all tough, you sure go down fast~" I teased as the jerk as he slowly sat up and saw that his nose was bleeding. "Aww, gotta a wittle nose bweed? Maybe you should think before deciding to pick on a weaker man." I hissed coldly. The guy glared at me.
"You're gonna regret that bitch, no one beats up Vince. Especially not some girl!" He growled holding his nose. I looked at him boredly before examining my nails.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever you say Vince." I mocked before turning to Raf, who was now standing and smiling.
"Thanks, Ray, but we should get going. Schools gonna start soon." Raf said grabbing his bag, which was lying on the ground. After a lot of running, the two of us soon arrived at school.
"Do you always have to deal with those guys? Like getting to school and stuff? Also, the middle school's in the opposite direction and you're, like, 2 years old! Why are you heading to the high school?" I asked. Raf nose was no longer bleeding now and he shook his head.
"No, I…uh normally have…my dad, uh, drive me but he was…uh busy…w-with work!" Raf lied.
Okay first few things I have so far learned about my new neighbor, was that one: he is a terrible liar and two: he needs to learn some self defense. But I didn't push the subject, if he didn't want to talk about it, I wouldn't force him.
"And as for me going to high school, I skipped a few grades plus I'm 12…and a quarter. Umm…by the way, do you know karate?" Raf asked as I shook my fist slightly trying to ignore some of the stinging I felt. Apparently I hit that dude a lot harder than I thought.
"Yeah, I thought I would get in less trouble if I used my fists instead of my taser or scissors."
"Wait-scissors?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" I asked confused by his confusion.
"Well, it uh, not something most people carry around, that's all. Plus why do you carry around a taser and scissors?" I sighed and shook my head.
''Do I look like 'most people' and if I didn't carry those objects with me all the time, they would kind loss their meaning as 'weapons-of-self-defense,' no?" I smirked and Raf laughed.
"I guess so. Well I have biology first, what about you?" I quickly pulled out my schedule and groaned.
"Math…fuck…" I cursed. I hate math and can never get the damn equations right. Hell, I still don't even understand fractions much less the square rout of pi!
"Wow that sucks, I gotta go, see you at lunch!" Raf shouted before running off. I nodded.
"See ya!" I said bluntly before looking around and noticing I had no clue where to go.
I should have asked Raf for directions when I had the chance. I thought.
"…Fuck"
…
I sighed lying down on my bed exhausted from today. I had found my math classroom about fifteen minutes after it started. Being the antisocial freak that I am, something like that was beyond humiliating. I hate being in the spot light and got my first 'tardy' or whatever that meant.
I took out a crumpled up white slip of paper with the word: TARDY in bold and below that my name. I raised my eye brow and stared at the piece of paper and frowned.
What's a 'tardy' anyways? I wondered before tossing the slip into my trash bin, before resuming to reminisce my day.
After a long few periods of having useless information being shoved down my throat, I was finally able to meet up with Raf in the cafeteria and also made a few more friends.
Making two new friends in one day, wow I'm being way too social… I thought depressingly.
Raf introduced me to Miko Nakadia: and awesome Japanese exchange student who loves anime, Green Day, and art class just as much as I do, and Jack Darby: a cool sort-of-mature guy who seems pretty respectable. I also found out that Raf was a Whovien, a fan of the British syfy television show call: Doctor Who, like me and really good with computers.
The three of them didn't seem like the type of people to be hanging out together, but they all kinda suited each other nicely.
I frowned when I heard a knock at my door. "Come in!" I shouted. The door opened to revile my younger sister chewing on some gum and playing around on her ipod. She's 13 but acts like some slutty 18 year old for whatever reason and thinks she's goth because she wears the color black…I claim that she's adopted!
"He geek-"
"Yes that's me." I interrupted. She glared at me before flipping her straight light brown hair to the side like the bitchy little brat that she is.
"Ugh! Mom and dad told me to tell you that you need to pick up the milk since we don't have any, plus I need my strength to make the field hockey team, so chop-chop!" she said in bossy tone. I stare at her blankly.
"If you want a butler, go get Sebastian Mitchells. 'Cause I ain't one bitch." I deadpan.
"Who?" She raised an eyebrow at me.
"Man you're an idiot." I rolled my eyes. The fact that she doesn't know who Sebastian is and that I have posters of him all over my walls is very sad.
"You still gotta pick up the milk. Mom and dad's orders." She smirks. I smile as I pick up my backpack and walk past her.
"Wow, you didn't denied that you're an idiot that time." I said smugly going down the stairs. There was a slight pause before…
"MOOOMMMM!" she shouted as loudly as she could and I quickly ran out of the house laughing.
…
I sighed as I carried two large jugs of milk in my arms. The plastic bag had ripped and blown away so I had to carry the damn things back home.
It was already sun set as I pasted by a fast food joint called K.O. Burger and noticed Jack walking over to a dark purplish-blue motorcycle in the parking lot.
"Hey Jack!" I shouted catching his attention. He smiled and walked his motorcycle over to me. I got the same odd feeling that I got from that yellow car when I looked at Jack's motorcycle. I felt like it was just…watching me, observing me. It just sent shivers down my spine.
"Oh hey Ray, whatcha doing?" he asks curiously.
"Milk run. The bags broke but I'm in no rush to get home." I laughed Jack nodded.
"In trouble?"
"Yeah, made my spoiled little sister calls herself an idiot. I'm probably gonna be grounded for, like, a week." I sighed. Why they favored her over me, I'll never know and I'm pretty sure she smokes pot in her free time…though I have no proof of it…yet~
"I see. Well that makes me glade to be an only child." He teases and I roll my eyes.
"Whatever, is this where you work? I think you said something about that at lunch." I mused trying to remember. He nodded.
"Yeah, feel free to stop by anytime you feel like eating the crap they call 'food' here." He joked causing me to smile.
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind-"
I was cut off by a bright light shining on the two of us followed by the sound of roaring engines.
"Scarp! It's the Cons!" A voice shouted from I-don't-know-where. I quickly looked around.
"Wait-who said that?" I panic thinking I'm going crazy, though I'm sure most would agree it's a bit late for that.
"Oh no! Quick! Get on now!" Jack urged not even giving me time to protest before dragging me on to his motorcycle and drove off.
"What the hell! Jack! This is kidnapping!" I shout holding onto him for dear life. I quickly turned around to see two black cars were chasing us. What is this some sort of spy movie?
"We need to loss these guys!" the same mysterious voice shouted making me jump.
"Again! Who said that?!" I shouted looking around. There was no way it was Jack because it sounded too feminine.
"Me." I looked at the dash bored and my eye twitched. The motorcycle is talking. Should I be freaked right now out or amazed?
"Okaaaayyy then… I'm just gonna pretend this is completely normal." I say before glancing back at the cars and watched as some guns appear out of the sides and start shooting at us.
"Who the hell are these people and WHY ARE THEY FREAKING SHOOTING AT US?!' I shout.
'They aren't people kid," I frowned at the nickname. I'm not a 'kid'. A 'kid' is baby goat. "They're Decepticon, we'll explain the rest later, but right now we need to loss these bogies." I nodded in understanding and opened up one of the jugs of milk in between my legs. I was only able to grab one when Jack and his talking motorcycle "kidnapped" me.
I smirked before holding it sideways and letting the milk splattering over the front if the two cars causing them to swerve. I then through the container and it smashed thought one of the windshields.
"Nice thinking, now let's vanish." The motorcycle said quickly speeding up and pulled us into an alley and behind some trashcans.
Jack and I ducked as the two cars zoomed by and waited a few minutes just incase they were still there.
"That was a close one. Nice thinking with the milk." Jack praised and I smiled.
"No problem, now mind explaining to me what the hell's going on? I'm starting to feel like I'm in one of those James Bond movies." I asked and Jack nodded.
"Heh yeah sure. Um Arcee…" Jack said pulling the two us off the vehicle. The moment we were off, the motorcycle transformed into a dark purplish-blue female robot. I smirked and crossed my arms.
"Okay, now that's cool." The robot, or Arcee, smirked before putting her finger to her ear.
"Ratchet! We need a ground bridge. We kind of have a small…situation." She said choosing her words carefully. I frowned.
Situation? Why do I suddenly feel insulted? I thought bitterly as a greenish-bluish portal-like vortex appeared next to us. Arcee and Jack walked towards the thing and I slowly followed behind them.
When I stepped out of the vortex I felt really dizzy and slightly sick and I quickly covered my hand with my mouth, trying to prevent my lunch from spilling out. Jack put his hand on my shoulder reassuringly.
"You'll get use to it." He said sympathetically and I nodded before looking up to see four other robots staring at me in shocked. I stared back at them nervously and smiled.
"Umm…hi?" I said awkwardly unsure of what to really do. The red and white robot was the first to snap back in to reality and glared at Arcee.
"Another one!? How could you let another human in here Arcee, three's already enough!" the robot shouted. I felt my eye twitch as I stared at the robot insulted.
"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." I huffed earning a glare from the robot and few chuckles from the others.
A big red and blue robot stepped forward and I immediately noticed he was bigger than the others. He's probably the leader. I guessed.
"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots." See? Told ya. "We are a group of autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron." Optimus explained.
Well that's a mouthful… I thought crossing my arms. "I see. And those Decpticons, as Jack and Arcee called them, why were they trying to kill us?" I asked calmly trying not to fangirl. I was meeting aliens, real actual aliens! My nerd dreams have finally come true!
"The Decpticons and we Autobots are fighting a war, a war that devastated our home planet and we have unfortunately brought our war here to your planet. The war itself was over our energon supplies, the fuel and life blood of Decepticon and Autobots alike." Optimus explained.
I nodded. "That makes sense. So now that you have told me all this, do you have to wipe my memory or something,?" I asked nervously. The red and white bot scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"If only…" he muttered and I glared at him. What the fucks this guys problem?
"No, now that you have been seen with us, I'm afraid that makes you a target of our enemies." Optimus said sadly. I frowned.
"Oh…" I muttered scratching the back of my head nervously. I always wanted something exciting to happen in my life, guess I got my wish. I thought bitterly.
"I will designate Ratchet to be your Autobot guardian until you are out of harms way." Optimus declared and the red and white robot, or now I know to be as Ratchet, dropped whatever tools he was using and whined.
"What?! But Optimus, I can't look after a human! I'm far to busy." He protested but Optimus put up his hand to silence him. Don't worry grumps, I'm not looking forward to this either… I huffed and pouted.
"That was an order. I'm sure, our human friend here will not interrupt your work." He said looking to me and I shrugged.
"Yep. You stay out of my way and I stay out of yours, dose that work?" I asked bitterly and doc bot merely scoffed. "I'll take that as yes. And now I have some very important questions that none of you will probably know the answers too!" I declared and Optimus nodded.
"Alright," I took a deep breath, "are Time Lords real? Do you know of a planet called Gallifray? Do you know the Doctor, or possibly the On Coming Storm? Do you know a bout the Daleks? How about the Cybermen? What about the Ice Warriors or Shakri? Is The Library real-wait that doesn't exists yet-you can skip that question, what about the Ood, Vahsta Nerada, Sontarans, and the Jadoon? Are TARDIS's real?" I asked leaving everyone in the room very confused.
"She asks more questions than Miko…" the giant green one, or Bulkhead, stated and the yellow and black stripped one, Bumble Bee, made a few whirls and click nodding. My eyes widened slightly.
"You know Miko?" I asked excitedly. Arcee sighed.
"Well that just explained a lot." I pouted not having any of my questions answered.
"I'm afraid I do not know the answer to your questions…" Optimus trialed off and I suddenly realized I forgot to introduce myself.
"Oh right, that was rude of me. I'm Ray Carson. Nice to met you guys and don't worry, I highly doubted you could have answered any of them anyways." I said sheepishly.
"Then why did you ask in the first place?" Ratchet deadpanned and I shrugged.
"Just confirming something, no need to get your panties in a twist." I said simply earning a few chuckles from the bots.
The yellow and black-stripped bot made a few whirls and clicks pointing to me and the green-one's eyes widened.
"Oh really? Bee here's just said you're Raf's new neighbor." He exclaimed and I nodded. Raf's here too?! Sweet! I knew I was hanging with the right people! I nodded.
''Yeah just moved here two days ago. I'm guessing you were that yellow car I saw outside." I said and Bumble Bee nodded. I smile but it fell as I felt my backpack vibrating.
I quickly slung it off and pulled out my phone only to realize I had, like, 20 missed messages. "Oh shit." I mumbled looking at the time. It was nearly 9 o'clock! I've been gone for two whole hours!
"I need to get home." Jack looked at his phone and nodded.
"Yeah, it's way past curfew. My mom's gonna flip."
"Same here. I'm so grounded." I groaned.
"Do not worry. Ratchet, Arcee, escort the children back to their homes." Optimus ordered. Arcee nodded and immediately turned back into her motorcycle form and took off with Jack. Ratchet groaned but then turned into an ambulance and opened the door for me to get in. I did so and we took off.
…
I asked Ratchet to drop me off a block away from my house saying that it wouldn't be a good idea for my parents to see me coming home in an ambulance. He grudgingly agreed and I quickly got out.
"Thanks for the ride, sorry about the inconvenience…" I muttered and started walking back. Ratchet muttered something I didn't understand and drove off.
I walked through the front door and was immediately faced with my very upset looking parents.
"Where the hell were you?! Do you realize how worried we've been?" My mother cried as she ran over to hug me. I hug her back and nodded.
"I got jumped by some guys on my way back, but some new friends of mine came and rescued me. I also accidentally dropped the milk, sorry about making you guys worry so much…" I mumbled and my mother hugged me even tighter.
"Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Do I need to call the police?"
"Oh course we should call the police, Carmen!" My dad shouted clearly angered by all this. I shook my head.
"No, don't worry, I'm fine and I don't think we have to worry about those guys." I said reassuringly. My dad sighed reluctantly.
"Fine, but if something like this ever happens again, I won't let it go." I nodded and gave him a hug, which he in then returned.
"Now you can go up stairs and get ready for bed. I've set up the computer in your room and the wifi's working so-" But I didn't listen to the rest, I was already half way up the stairs when he said he installed my computer.
I quickly hopped online and into the chat room my friend and I use to chat on back home all the time when we weren't together. I looked into the little chat box and saw she was on. Yes!
SISSOR-LOVER-4-EVER: Hey Jay! Guess whose back!
JayJay's-Pie-Stand: Ray-Ray! It's been 4ever! What been happening?
SISSOR-LOVER-4-EVER: Oh not much, had my first day of school today, made some new friends 2.
JayJay's-Pie-Stand: U made friends?! Who the hell r u and what have you done with my antisocial buddy?! XD
SISSOR-LOVER-4-EVER: Hahaha, your very funny *rolls eyes*
JayJay's-Pie-Stand: U knows u love mah bro. What r they like?
I frowned thinking about thing about them all and smirked; there was really no other way to describe them all.
SISSOR-LOVER-4-EVER: Well…Raf is my new neighbor and a few years younger than me, but he's really smart and is also a Whovien^^
Miko is a Japanese exchange student who loves Green Day and anime/manga, wild, crazy, and very talkative (you two would get along well…) And she also likes 2 draw
Jack is cool, mature, and very level headed, I have also learned he has a secret crush on this popular girl at our school named Sierra~ XD
And as for the others, well, let's just say there's more 2 them than meets the eye ;)
…
And there you have it, chapter one of my first transformers Prime fanfic. I should warn you that I have a tendency to make Doctor Who references along with anime and manga ones too, so I really hope you don't mind them.
Also, Ray has just about everything you can imagine in her bag so do not be surprised by what she pulls out of there, even if it defies the laws of physics, it just makes it more comical that way : )
This willnot be a romance fanfic more or less just friendship, plus 'JayJay's-Pie-Stand' is an actual author here on Fanfiction and a very good friend of mine both here, and in real life. If there are and fans of Erin Hunters: Warriors series go check out her stories, because not only are they very good, but way better than mine!
*This is just a heads up, in case you all haven't noticed yet, Ray tends to curse…a lot and so do I and I really don't mind it but I know there are people on fanfiction who don't like it I'm sorry, but that's just the way I write.*
I hope you guys like it and no flames please!
Thanks AIWF888!
R&R~
