AN: I do not own anything or anyone in this story. Please R&R.

Garfield Logan was sitting against the wall in the hall outside the cafeteria reading his favorite book. His hair was dyed black and his green eyes were darting from word to word. At least they were until a blurry shape plowed into him. A cheerful voice shouted out a threat.

"Victor, I'm going to get you for that!" The girl then realized shewas laying on someone. She gave a sheepish smile to the boy beneath her and helped him to his feet.

"Sorry pal, I didn't see you."

Garfield looked at the girl without emotion. Long purple hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall and her eyes were a deep violet. Her skin was pale, but only added to her beauty. She was dressed in bright colors that seemed to reflect her
personality perfectly.

"Most people don't notice me anyway."

"Well I'm still sorry um what's your name?"

"Garfield Logan."

"Okay sorry Gar. I'm Raven Roth, pleased to meet you." Garfield didn't shake the proffered hand.

"Next time, pay more attention to where you're going." He then left
without another word. Raven just rolled her eyes at the teenager and went back
to her friend.

"Rae, who was that guy?" Victor asked her.

"I don't know but he was different that's for sure. Also before I forget…"

Raven then locked her arm around Victor's neck and proceeded to give him a major noogie.

"Okay I'm sorry. Guess I don't know my own strength." The dark skinned young man yelled out.

"Oh yeah are you psyched for tonight or what?"

Raven gave her friend a look like he was the biggest idiot on the planet.

"Are you nuts? Of course I'm excited! We get to see Transformers! I can't wait to see Bumblebee, Starscream, and Optimus Prime!"

The two bosom buddies then gave out two equally nerdish squeals of excitement. After school, Garfield quickly went home and got ready for work. He worked at the local Cineplex and knew tonight was going to be huge. Transformers had
just opened and he wasn't exactly thrilled to pick up after the mass of humanity that was surely going to descend on the theatres. Sighing heavily, the teen got into his car and drove towards his work.

A couple of hours later and across the city, Raven was also getting ready. Being a true fan she had decided to attend the movie dressed as Optimus Prime. Victor was going as Bumblebee. The two friends had attended every big movie that summer dressed as the characters in the film. Pirates 3 had been great fun. Victor had finally gotten dressed and the two then drove towards the
local Edward's. The night had gone exactly like Garfield had expected it would. That meant that there were lines out the door and outside every theatre that was showing Transformers lines and lines of fans, some dressed in ridiculous homemade costumes, stood waiting to view the movie that had been hyped for so long. Garfield was currently exiting one theatre with a trashcan stuffed with the refuse from the previous audience. He was about to go grab another when someone yelled out his name from the crowd. Surely he didn't know anyone among these fanatics?

"Hey Gar! Over here!"

Garfield then saw the girl who had crashed into him in the hallway waving at him. What was even odder was the fact that she
was covered in red and blue cardboard from head to foot. He waved at her then quickly left, not wanting to waste time as he had about 4 other movies needing to be cleaned.

"I'm really going to give that guy a piece of my mind when I see him again!" Raven muttered, her elegant lips pouting.

"Rae, you can't make friends with everyone. And besides, you're dressed in a robot costume. That is a definite turn off. And besides that guy looks like he hasn't even smiled once in his life."

"Then I'll have to get him to, won't I?" Raven said with a gleam in her eye. "Whatever, anyway let's go in and watch the movie."

The two friends then ran into the theatre, humming the Transformers theme.
