Jack eyes widened when he saw the headlights and heard the familiar engine approach the driveway. Arcee whipped around and saw the car just beginning to turn into the driveway, she transformed her hands into cannons. "'Cons!" Arcee exclaimed.
Jack began to jog towards the car. "No Mom!" Jack completely ignored Arcee in fear that his mom saw Arcee's true form. Jack's mother stepped of her car looking at him in amazement.
"Jack?" She called out, wide eyed closing the car door gently as he ran over to her.
"Mom!" Jack chuckled out nervously. "Don't freak I can explain!" He said, which was a complete lie if she had seen Arcee, he wouldn't know where to begin.
Jack's mother suddenly frowned placing her hands on her hips. "Can you?" She said in the motherly tone that pretty much said I-don't-believe-that. She stomped over towards the motorcycle that now sat in the garage. June turned towards Jack. "Jackson Darby, we have talked about this!" June exclaimed, in complete mother mode, placing her hands in front of her.
Jack let out a sigh of relief on the inside. "Yeah I know," He began to walk back over to her, "and-"
"You don't know," June cut Jack off giving him a hard glare meeting Jack halfway. "I worry about you enough when you're not here," June placed a hand on her sons shoulder before taking it off again, "now I have to worry about you driving a motorcycle?" June had a worried glint in her eye.
Jack sighed and walked over to the motorcycle. "I'm 16, I can't be riding a ten speed forever." June looked at the blue bike in consideration before frowning and looking at Jack suspiciously.
"How did you even afford this?" June gestured to the bike hiding the smirk trying to crawl onto her face, in some attempt of busting her son. So he couldn't leave the house.
"Erm…" Jack started trying to piece a quick story together. "It's used! It's abused really. Needs a ton of repairs really," Jack began to walk over to where his helmet sat. "But…" Jack sighed. "The point is I may have been a kid when I bought this," Jack placed a hand on his helmet before turning to his mom. "But I'm not anymore, and you're always telling me to make responsible choices!" Jack pointed out. "Well I chose her!" He walked over to Arcee and placed a hand on her. "And I will be responsible, I promise!" Jack watched as his mom smirked.
"Her?" June battered her eyelashes at Jack in mocking way before shaking her head. "I didn't think you would be bringing home girls just yet." June teased Jack as he scratched the back of his head.
"I like to think she brought me." Jack sighed and looked Arcce over.
June sighed realizing Jack had made his points. "Well… I am glad you now have a reason to wear your helmet." June pointed her finger in Jack's face. "Every single time you ride!" June retracted her finger now looking a little hopeful and began to walk to the door that lead to the inside of the house. "You will take me for a spin every once and a while?"
"We'll see…" Jack trailed off looking back at Arcee. "She's kinda temperamental." Jack finished switching off the light and closing the door. He then watched his mom stop dead in her walking. "Mom?" After that June bolted towards the kitchen looking through the cupboards and fridge. "Mom? What is it? What's wrong?"
"Your aunt Freya is coming! And I need to cook dinner! Oh my god! I can't believe I forgot!" June pulled out some steaks from the fridge and a fry pan from a cupboard and began cooking the steaks with some spices and herbs.
"Whoa! Hold up! Aunt Freya is coming?" Jack raised his hands; June stopped and looked at Jack in shock covering her mouth.
"Shoot! It was meant to be a surprise!" June went to the fridge and grabbed out some already made salad that was in a packet, finding some plates and dividing the same amount of portion for everyone. "But in answer to your question; yes Freya is coming!" June said flipping the steaks.
Jack sighed letting out his shock and placing a hand on his forehead. "Wow, we haven't seen her in like 4 years!" Jack exclaimed, and jumped when he heard knocking at the front door.
"Go get it Jack quickly!" June exclaimed, excitement shining in her eyes; Jack nodded and walked quickly over to the door. He swung it open to reveal a woman with golden blonde hair that reached past her shoulder blades; she had blue eyes and high cheekbones lightly dusted pink. "Aunt Freya!" Jack exclaimed with a smile.
"Hello Jackson," Freya greeted. "You don't look that surprised to see me I guess your mother spilled the beans, huh?" Jack chuckled at how his aunt could figure out what happened so quickly. Jack held out his hand. "Jackson Darby you know I am a hugger!" Freya opened her arms and Jack rolled his eyes but hugged her anyway. "Now where is that mother of yours? In the kitchen cooking I'm guessing? The forgetful thing most likely forgot I was coming!" Freya gave Jack a soft smile.
"Yep that's mom!" Jack chuckled; he frowned as he watched his aunt go back to her car, which was a very light blue mini cooper. Freya opened the back doors and reached in but when she pulled back she revealed a ragdoll cat. "You're still into cats, huh?"
Freya jogged back to the house and placed the cat on the floor. "Yup that is Roswell," Her eyes glinted with happiness. "Oh Jack I would give you the whole Auntie chat about how big you've gotten. But I would love to see my big sister!" Freya walked past Jack, and saw June placing another plate on the table. Freya snuck up behind her in dead silence. "Boo!" Freya quickly wrapped her arms around her sister.
June squealed in surprise, June was not expecting her sister to jump onto her like old times. "Get off me you fatty!" Freya released June when she heard the surrender call, when June turned around to face her Freya was smirking broadly.
"I wasn't the one who got fat…" Freya mumbled pocking her sister in the abdomen. June playfully slapped Freya's arm away with a mocking hurt look. "And you should be use to me jumping on your back! If you remembered I was coming, you know me for stealth!" Freya placed her hands on her curved hips smirking.
"I know! Just eat and you might gain some healthy weight!" June playfully snapped back. Jack had come in just after Freya and watched his mom and aunt bicker; he found it highly amusing that his mom and aunt fought like children still. Well from the stories he heard from his mother, apparently they fought like, how Jack would put it now. Autobots and Decepticons, but when they got older it turned to playful fights.
According to June that is, his aunt might have a different opinion.
"Come on Jack! You need to eat too! How are suppose to impress girls with muscle like that!" Freya smiled at Jack; he rolled his eyes.
"And I suppose you know from experience?" Jack tried to hide his smile acting serious, but Freya could see it and she kept the serious face instead. Her serious face freaked people out; she could talk from politics to sex with a straight face... if she wanted to.
"How do you think I got your mother and me out of high school alive?" Freya lifted both her arms into an 'L' position and flexed her muscles. The two women giggled, Jack sighed knowing it was going to be a long... however long his aunt planned on staying while two girls were in the house. He sat down anyway and ate dinner along with the two girls.

Jack shot up out of bed when he heard the sound of an engine revving. When he realized it was Arcee he sprinted to the garage, ignoring the groaning Freya who had slept on the couch after eating dinner and watching a movie. Jack flung the door open like there was no tomorrow. He gave Arcee a hard glare.
"SHH! Are you Crazy? You'll wake up my mum andmy aunt!" Jack scowled tiredly.
"Grab your helmet it's go time!" Arcee demanded. Rolling forward irritated, Arcee was not going to waste her day in a human's garage.
Jack dropped his head looking at the ground and groaned, he was tired from the day before and Arcee was ready for another day? Jack should have expected it considering the Autobots had been in war for a long time. But he never even considered it. "It's Saturday!" Jack finally spoke up again.
"You can watch cartoons with Bumblebee back at base." Arcee stated flatly, in a dead serious tone.
Jack scoffed. "Cartoons? I'm 16." Jack sighed and didn't make any further complaint leaning back and closing the door softly so he didn't wake his aunt. Only to hear Arcee call out behind him.
"And leave a note for your mom! She worries!" Jack shook his head in amusement and looked over to see his Aunt in a sitting position looking at him and holding her cat in her arms. He became stiff and wide eyed he couldn't tell if she was glaring or just really tired.
"Jack what are you doing? Trying to wake up the whole neighborhood?" Freya demanded tiredly as she began to stand up lazily and placed her cat on the floor. Who just jumped back up on the couch, curled up in a ball and fell back asleep. Rubbing her eyes and looked at Jack with squinted eyes, in a failed attempt trying to block out the sun.
"No I wasn't trying to wake anyone. I told mom last night that the bike needs a heap of repairs. And I am going out today; can you tell my mom I will be back soon?" Jack ran to his bedroom before he got an answer from his aunt. Freya fiddled with her hands, debating on whether she should tell June or not about what her son was doing, or make him stay and wait. Freya giggled at the thought of Jack throwing a tantrum on the floor not being able to go out. Freya heard the sounds of draws opening and closing in Jack's room. Jack stepped out of his room in the middle of an attempt to put his shirt on while heading to the door that lead into the garage.
"Alright Jack I will tell your mom!" Freya concluded Jack breathing a sigh of relief come from Jack. "But you know me you can never hide a secret from me! I am your Aunt! A relative!" Jack stopped dead at his aunt's words. Pulling the rest of his shirt on over his head and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "So there is a secret, huh?" Freya asked. Not taking her eyes off Jack as she reached into the fridge and pulling out a green apple.
"Huh? What? Oh, pfft! No! You just freak me out sometimes! No secret at all!" Jack then ran into the garage and started up his bike. Leaving Freya by herself, she smiled.
"It must be a girl." She whispered to herself taking a bite out of the apple.
