I do not own Transformers. I only own Alexandra.

"I wonder how Mikaela will react. She hasn't seen me in forever," Alex muttered to herself as she lugged her travel bag and suitcase through the airport. She was moving to live with her younger cousin Mikaela, who needed help at the mechanic shop. "No good Uncle," she grumbled as she hailed a cab.

Mikaela was still in school at this time of day so there was not going to be anybody there to pick her up from the airport. She rolled her eyes when the cab driver gave her the look up and down starting from her red heels, up her black skinny jeans, her white tank top, and up to her crimson dyed hair and dark blue eyes.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to get going now," she told the cab driver trying to be nice. She had a temper just like everybody in her family, but she knew when to control it. She had never been in jail or a detention center like the other people in her family. She had always strove to be an exception. "Now if only I can help Mikaela some," she thought while watching the scenery and city pass them by as the cab driver drove towards her new place. She had bought her own home out here so in case Mikaela needed a place to go to escape, she could move in with Alex.

"I hope moving out here is the best thing for her," Alex thought to herself after finally leaving the cab and entering her new home in a quaint little suburb. She knew she did not look like the suburb type, but she wanted a safe and quiet area to live. "I probably have more tattoos than anybody here," she thought to herself with a smirk as she looked down at her sleeve tattoo with different steam punk designs.

"Well let's just get changed and then I'll head over to pick up my baby," she whispered before tossing her suitcase onto the floor, opening it up, and pulling out some converse, a blazer, and a fedora. She kept on the same jeans and tank top.

After getting dressed, she pulled out her phone to use the GPS to get her to the right location, which was just down the road. Her car had been put in storage down the road until she could move out here. "I've missed it," she whispered before running down the road so she could see her car faster.

Cars are her obsession, even as a young child she loved them, and she loves them even more now. Her career choice had been a mechanic and she would never regret it. It might not be the cleanest job, but getting grimy while working on cars was worth it. She loved taking a messed up car and bringing it back to life.

"My baby," were the first words out of her mouth when she saw her baby sitting in the storage garage with not a scratch on her. The worker at the storage facility just shook his head at her before walking away to go get the paperwork for her to fill out since she was only using the storage area until she got here.

"I've missed you," she whispered to the 1969 Camaro, which was painted midnight black. "Let's go get Mikaela," she continued talking to the car even though she had to sign the paperwork now, and the worker was looking at her scared. "Mikaela will be surprised that's for sure," Alex thought while sliding into the Camaro.

Her cousin knew she was moving out here and into the suburb, but Mikaela did not know when she would be moving out here. Alex had kept that part a surprise since she wanted to pick Mikaela up on the last day of high school before summer before college. "I hope she's happy to see me," she whispered while using her GPS to get to Mikaela's school. She and her cousin talked but they were not the best of friends, but better friends than most.

"Ew look at all the teenagers," Alex said while she drove to reside in front of the school. A happy smile crossed her face at the gawking looks from some of the kids at her car. "There she is," she whispered when she saw Mikaela walking out of the front door with a guy at her side. "Well I definitely need to teach her to not date jerks because he looks like a super jerk and an idiot," she muttered dissecting the block head with his arm around her cousin.

"Time to make my presence known," Alex whispered gleefully when she saw Mikaela's eyes widen at the sight of her car. Alex kept her hat on her head as she exited the car and walked around to stand on the sidewalk right in the path of her cousin's sight. "Hey baby, did you miss me?" she yelled and lifted up her head so Mikaela could see her face.

"Alex," Mikaela screamed excitedly and rushed forward to give her cousin a big hug.

Alex smirked at the annoyed look that crossed the blockhead's face. "Play it up a bit more since he's too dumb to realize that I'm a girl" she thought while wrapping an arm around her cousin's waist and kissing the top of her head since she was a little taller than Mikaela.

"Get your hands off my girl," the blockhead roared and went to stomp towards her, which is when she took off her hat and her long wavy crimson hair fell down her back.

"I can hug my cousin if I want to, now shut your trap before flies lay babies in there," Alex snapped with a glare towards the dumb guy. "All brawn, no brain, quite sad, you can do better than that Mikaela," she whispered into her cousin's ear, who just gave her an eye roll. "You totally can, you just sell yourself short too much," Alex continued even though Mikaela had already walked over to go stand by the blockhead. "If only it was a video game, I could kill him and get points instead of prison time," she thought to herself, which made her giggle.

"Hey Alex, it's great to see you but can we hang out later? I was going to go to the lake with Trent and his friends," Mikaela said as Trent, her boyfriend, wrapped an arm around her waist, but disgustingly enough he was now giving Alex the look over.

"Disgusting, I'd run him over but I'm not ruining my car for him," Alex thought before putting her hat back on her head. "How about I join you guys? I don't feel like unpacking yet and the movers won't be here until tomorrow. I'd like to explore my new home a bit," she suggested and grabbed Mikaela away from the blockhead. "We'll meet you boys there, I need Mikaela to show me the way," she said with a wink before shoving her cousin into her car. She ran around the car to get into the driver's seat and drive to the nearest cafe.

"What are we doing going here first?" Mikaela questioned before laughing at the devastated look on her cousin's face. "You've been deprived of coffee again haven't you? You addict," she said to Alex, who was smiling gleefully at the coffee that was being handed to her through the drive-through window at Starbucks.

"Airport coffee is not good coffee," Alex only muttered before Mikaela started giving her directions to the lake. "So I know we have a lot to talk about and catch up on, but for right now let's go have a good day at the lake. I promise not to drown that jerk you're dating, why you're dating him, no clue. He's lacking severely in the brain department," Alex told her cousin, who looked like she didn't know how to respond to that. "I'm not griping at you, I just know you're a smart and beautiful girl, you can do a lot better kiddo," she finished.

"I'm not a kid," Mikaela snapped and frowned when her cousin just laughed a bit.

"Compared to me being 28 and you being 18, you're a kid," Alex answered simply before driving up a dirt road to see a bunch of other cars and teenagers running around a lake.

"We'll talk later, but for now just let me hang out with Trent," Mikaela snapped before practically jumping out of the car before it had stopped.

"Fine, I'll just go browse the cars to see if any of these kids have any taste in cars," Alex muttered to herself since she really had hoped that she and her cousin would have been able to talk some. "Oh well, to the cars and being nosy," she shouted to herself and laughed when she got weird looks from the others walking around the area.

She left her hat in the car and locked it before she started walking around to see all the cars that were parked. Nothing was really catching her eye until the sound of an older car on its last wheels sounded up the path. Her eyes widened happily when she saw another 1969 Camaro. The yellow Camaro with black racing stripes down the front definitely needed some fixing up, but it was still beautiful to Alex.

The car parked and two young guys got out of it, and she quickly rushed over to talk to the driver. She held in her laughter when his eyes widened at the sight of her approaching him. She really had to fight her laughter when she told the other guy to get lost and he started to climb a tree.

"Kids are weird," she thought before she reached the teen. "Hey I'm Alex, Mikaela's cousin, I'm new to town, but I just had to let you know that your car is amazing," she told him happily after they shook hands, well he was kind of still in shock when shaking her hand.

The guy seemed to shake himself out of his shock and said, "I'm Sam, Sam Witwicky, and this is just a piece of junk."

Alex's eyes widened at his words and it almost sounded like the car made a noise as well at what he said. "He's not junk, he's a beautiful 1969 Camaro. I have the same car, and it's one of the best to have. All he needs is a new coat of paint, get the rust off him, and clean him up a bit," Alex defended the car as she walked over and rested her hand gently on the hood. She almost jumped back when the hood seemed to warm up a bit at her touch, but she stayed still.
