I feel like I should say more, but i'm going to try and get the second chapter up to 'The Birds And The Bees' tonight.
Trapped In Your Universe
Chapter One: What The Hell
"I swear I'm going to bigger and better things, Joseph."
Alice Love sat on the counter of one of the check out counters, swinging her legs and smiling over at her co-worker. Joseph looked over at her and chuckled. "Like what Alice, move up to management?" he said.
She shoved him then rolled her eyes. "I don't mean this stupid Hollister job!" she said, then looked around. "I mean...something big!"
"Face it lovely, you're going to be working by my side for awhile." he said, giving her leg a pat. "You've got major brains, but you're not even in college yet and you're nineteen. Your life is so tied up with your life at home the biggest thing you'll be seeing anytime soon is my-"
"Joseph!" she squealed, shoving him and laughing at his attempted perverted joke. "Shut up! Your girlfriend would be so pissed!"
"Oh but she's seen it plenty of times! She can share!" he joked.
She jumped down from the counter and punched him playfully. "Maybe my big opportunity will be suing for sexual harassment." she mumbled, then grabbed her bag off the counter. "Well I'm out, Joseph! See you tomorrow!"
"Take care lovely." he said with a grin.
She whipped around to him, poking his chest. "You know what? Don't think just because my last name is 'Love' you can run around calling me 'lovely' all the time. People could get the wrong idea." she whispered.
He wrapped his hand around her wrist and smirked. "Who said I was saying it just because of your last name?" he whispered back. "Seems like you've got the wrong idea."
She gazed into his hazel eyes and smiled. Alice and Joseph had been friends for four years now. He was a tall, well built, tan, lifeguard looking guy. He had long dirty blonde hair, which he wouldn't cut because Alice had begged him not to, and constantly kept it in a low ponytail. The two were simply the best of friends, nothing more, although it often looked like they were.
"See you, Joey." she cooed, hugging him and then sprinting out of the store. She could hear him groan at the nickname as she left and smiled to herself. As she walked through the mall, she found a store that had yet to be opened so the inside was empty. Though, her reflection was what got to her. "God, is that really me?" she whispered, shifting her purse on her shoulder. She was a slim girl with a creamy porcelain complexion, long naturally silky wavy dark brown hair, light brown almond shaped eyes, decently sized lips, and a cute little nose. "Wow." she whispered, running her hand through her hair. She used to be an extremely nerdy chick with baby fat, braces, frizzy hair, and pimples. A wonder what getting your braces off, exercise, the right hair products, and a facial cleanser could do. Though the change obviously didn't happen over night, she was still amazed at times when she caught her reflection.
Alice finally kept walking, making her way to her oh so famous mini-van. Pfft. Yeah right. Just as she started the car, something fell against her windshield and almost cracked her window. "What the hell..." she whispered, slowly stepping out of the car. She looked around first for a sign of what had happened, then looked at the windshield. There, against the glass, sat the weirdest looking piece of metal she had ever seen. She cautiously picked it up, and as she did it sent a shock through her hand. "Ow! Agh!" she yelped, shaking her hand, and tossing the piece of metal to the side. "Screw my life..." she grumbled, then got in the car and took off to her house.
It took her around twenty minutes to make the drive, and when she arrived she took in a deep sigh. See, Alice Love was the oldest of five children. It was certainly a full house, and with their father constantly gone on business trips...it was a little difficult. It wouldn't be so difficult if her mother was still around, but she had passed away. This meant leaving Alice as basically the parent of the household.
"I'm home!" she called out as she entered and locked the door behind her. A small boy came running to her. She picked him up and smiled, placing a kiss on his cheek. "Hey there little guy, how was your day?" she asked. Ricky, her little brother and the only boy of the siblings, held out his Optimus Prime action figure. He didn't really talk much, so when he did it was a miracle. Though today he stuck with not talking. "Playing Transformers again?" she said to the three year old who nodded in return. His green eyes looked up at her innocently and she smiled. After setting him down, she ruffled his brown hair and sighed.
"Agh! Shoot!"
Her eyes darted up to the couch. There Laura Love sat with her legs on the coffee table. Laura was fifteen, and also the youngest girl. She had obnoxiously bright pink hair and light brown eyes, which she usually covered with blue contacts. She was currently playing her PSP, completely unaware that her older sister had entered. "Yo! bubblegum, feet off the table." Alice ordered, pushing her sister's feet off and standing above her. "Where are your sisters?"
"You mean the terrible two? I don't know." she grumbled, not looking up from the screen.
Alice rolled her eyes, then walked over to the stair case. "Cathy! Casey! I'm hone!" she yelled.
"Thank god!" two voices screamed back in unison, then two girls appeared at the top of the stairs. The seventeen year old twins looked down at their sister and smirked. The two were exactly identical. The only difference between the two was that Cathy bangs and Casey didn't. They both had shoulder length brown hair, blazing green eyes, and great figures. "We're starving!" they stated.
Alice groaned then smacked her palm against her forehead. "You guys are seventeen! You couldn't cook for yourselves?" she grumbled.
"They're idiots." Laura added in from the living room, still not taking her gaze off the video game device in her hands.
"Shut up, Nightlight!" Cathy shrieked.
"Yeah Glowstick!" Casey agreed.
"My hair still looks better than yours." Laura scoffed. No matter what anyone said to her, she liked her bright pink hair and was glad she had decided to dye it.
"Stop it you guys!" Ashley ordered. "Now, did Ricky eat today?"
"He didn't ask for anything." The twins stated at the same time with a shrug.
Alice looked at the two as if they had just said the stupidest thing ever. "He doesn't talk!" she yelled.
"Told you they were idiots." Laura mumbled.
Alice groaned and then picked up her three year old brother, bringing him to the kitchen and sitting him at the table. "I'll get you some food okay, Ricky." she whispered, rolling up the sleeves of her long sleeved, form fitting, pale pink v-neck. She opened the fridge and then groaned at the sight. She needed to go grocery shopping! After checking all the cabinets and the freezer, she decided she was going to have to order a pizza. More like a few pizzas.
"Oh by the way Dad called." Cathy stared, now walking into the kitchen.
"Pllease tell me he's coming home." Alice grumbled, grabbing the house phone.
She shook her head, then leaned against the wall. "He got held up in France." she said, then grew quiet. After awhile, she sighed. "You're really stressed out, huh Alice?" she asked. Cathy was the nicer out of the two twins when they were separated. Sure, Casey was nice too...sometimes...but Casey also had a snarky attitude towards anyone and everyone.
Alice looked over at her sister and smiled. "Stressed out? With you guys? Nah, life is stress free." she joked, walking over and giving her sister a hug. "By the way were getting pizza tonight."
"Cheese all around?" Cathy said with a smirk.
"Decepticon."
The two looked at each other in shock, then at the little boy who was sitting at the table. "Wh-What was that Ricky?" Alice whispered, slowly approaching her little brother. Had he really just spoken?
"Decepticon." he repeated. What the hell was a Decepticon?
"You mean those evil robots in that Transformers movie?" Cathy asked, now stepping forward. Alice looked over at her, then back at her little brother. Ricky didn't speak often, so when he did there was a reason for it.
He pointed behind them and held his action figure close to him. "Decepticon." He said again.
Alice and Cathy exchanged glances and then slowly turned around. There, clinging to the ceiling in the corner of their kitchen, was a silver robot with glowing red optics. It growled at them, making odd clicking noises, and Cathy shrieked. Her sudden scream caused Casey and Laura to run in, and they screamed as well. "Take Ricky, get in the minivan." Alice whispered, slowly stepping forward.
"What about you?" Cathy asked, but just as she did the robot flung down and tackled Alice. She grunted, kicked, and punched.
"Start the car! If I'm not out in five then drive!" Alice shrieked. They seemed hesitant, but then the robot had sliced at Ashley's hand and she yelled in pain. "Agh! Go!" she groaned, pushing the robot off and grabbing a chair. She slammed it on the robot, and watched as Cathy grabbed Ricky and ran out with the others. The strange robot stood back up, making those weird clicking noises again, and held up what seemed to be small guns. He then clicked more, and muttered something about an 'Allspark' and stepped forward. Alice's eyes widened and she sprinted to the front door. She flung herself in the driver's seat of her mini van, not bothering to buckle up, and backed out of the drive way.
"What the hell was that!" Laura shrieked.
"Hey, watch the language around Ricky." Alice stated, slamming on the gas and speeding down the street. She winced at the pain of her bleeding palm as she gripped the steering wheel and constantly checked the rear view mirror.
"Alice in front of you!" the three girls shrieked.
Alice focused on the road ahead and spotted the exact robot that was in their house, on the windshield. It tapped against the window, and it began to crack. "Damn it..." she grumbled.
"Hey, watch the language around Ricky!" Laura mocked her sister.
"NOT THE TIME!" Ashley yelled, speeding up and tossing the robot off her hood. She sped to the freeway, and luckily there was no traffic. She made it to a tunnel, but as she exited it they were no longer on the freeway. Their mouths dropped at the sight of the burning cars, broken buildings, and dead people. Alice looked back to see that the tunnel wasn't even there anymore! It was just more burning buildings!
"Decepticon."
Alice looked over at her little brother and gulped. Last time he said that, she ended up here. She slowly turned around and spotted an extremely tall robot stomping through the streets. "Oh god..." she whispered, just as it's huge red optics looked over at the car. She gained goosebumps, shifted to reverse, then slammed on the gas.
"We are so going to die." Laura whispered, gawking at the huge robot.
"THE HELL WE ARE!" Alice shouted, then suddenly shifted into first gear, and turning a corner. Just as she did, a tow truck sped past them, with a yellow and black robot strapped to the back. He was shooting at something, and when she looked up to spot another large red eyed robot and mentally said every curse word imaginable. She switched in reverse again, quickly backed up, and sped it any opposite direction.
"Optimus." Ricky piped up.
Optimus? She knew that one! Optimus was a good guy right? Alice looked up to see another large red and blue robot laying against the ground with a large disgusting colored robot across from it. A boy, appeared to have slammed something in the disgusting colored one's chest, and it seemed to die. The red and blue one slowly stood up, and boy was he tall! Alice slowly opened the door and stepped out. "Stay in the car." she whispered, starring up at the large robot. His blue optics seemed to notice her even though she was the size of an ant compared to him. He cautiously bent over slightly and gazed at her. "I must be dreaming..." she whispered, slowly stepping forward.
"Human?" the robot spoke up in a deep voice.
She practically jumped out of her skin. "Are you going to try and kill me too?" Alice whispered, her hair blowing wildly. She brought a hand through her hair, combing through it, and pushing it back to get a better look at him.
"What! Are you kidding me! He just saved your life, and your asking if he'll kill you!" a more human voice piped up. A boy around her age came running- no stomping over to her waving his arms frantically. "This is Optimus Prime!"
"Yeah, see, I'm not exactly from here." she stated. "I don't even really know where here is."
"What are you, like, from Canada or something?" he stated and her mouth dropped. What made him think she was from Canada? Did she give off a Canadian look? She's never even been to Canada!
"Samuel..." the tall robot's voice spoke up. The boy before her backed down, and moved to the side. This 'Optimus' bent over to get a better look at her and she couldn't help but feel insecure with his blue optics focused on her. "You are injured?"
"What, oh Uh-" She looked down at her hand, the blood running down her palm from the gash. It didn't feel so bad with the adrenaline rush she was having earlier, but now she realized it was actually pretty painful. "Yeah? Some red eyed robot attacked me at my house."
"A Decepticon attacked you?" he asked.
"Uh yeah, he said something about an OnSpark or um the Allstar or-"
"The Allspark?" he interrupted.
Alice nodded, and this 'Samuel' boy stepped forward again. "A-And what was that all about 'not being from here'? You an alien too?" he said then gestured to Optimus, "Because I kind of have enough aliens on my plate right now."
"Not exactly you see this is going to sound totally crazy...but I'm from another...um...dimension?" Alice explained, then gestured to the minivan where her siblings sat with wide eyes. "My, Uh, family and I live in a world where you-" she paused, then gestured back to the robot and the boy. "You guys are just a movie, cartoons, toys, and posters. Maybe a video game here and there, all the good movies have a video game somewhere along the way."
"Did you escape a mental hospital?" Sam asked.
"Ugh! No, look I can prove it!" she stated, sprinting over to her car. "Sorry about this little guy." she whispered, slipping the action figure from her brother's hands and walking back over to the giant robot and the boy. "See?" she said, holding out the tiny Optimus figure. The robot's optics shuttered a few times in the form of a few curious blinks.
"That is...a little version of myself?" Optimus whispered.
She nodded, then looked over at Sam. She had seen the movie only once but she had to remember something about it. "Uh, oh! Oh you! You have an extremely hot girlfriend!" Alice stated, then began searching her head for the name. "Marissa...Malinda...-"
"Mikaela."
Alice looked up to see the very girl she spoke of, walking up to Sam and taking his hand. "See! I'm right! I'm totally not crazy!" she said, jumping up and down with enthusiasm. Wait, maybe she was. This could all still be some weird dream. No, the pain from her hand it was real...the heat from the fires...it was real...
"Looks like I got that 'something big' I was wishing for." Alice whispered, now starring at Optimus. He seemed to be studying her, his optics filled with confusion. "Something really big..."
Me: Whew, that took some work.
Alice: This is sooo weiiirddd...
Laura: I think it's cool!
Alice: Of course you do!
Optimus: I am sure everything will be explained.
Alice: -stares- o.o
Optimus: Uh...what...
Alice: -pokes- you're a freaking giant robot.
Me: -pushes Alice away- he's MY freaking giant robot! YOU BETTER NOT BE TOUCHING ALL UP ON MY MAN!
Laura: -.- please review.
