(Snow Manor, Christchurch, New Zealand, Juniper's POV)

As I walked into my giant garage I didn't know what to expect. Just not this. When my old friend, Sam, told me he had something to tell me, I definitely didn't expect this.

~5 Days Earlier~

"Yeah, totally awesome!" I yelled into the phone. My best friend from who knows when is coming to live in my town! Christchurch, New Zealand to be précised.
"I can't believe it Sammie!" There was a short silence then someone else on the other end of the line started sniggering.
"Juni! What have I told you about the "Sammie" thing?"
I giggled, "Last time I checked, it was that I could never call you that again within the United States. Am I in the United States?" I asked innocently.
He sighed, "Noooo."
I smiled triumphantly, then asked, "Who was laughing just before?"
He faltered for a second. "Just a friend, um, Bee."
"Bee? That's an unusual name."
He chuckled nervously "Yeah, look I'll see you later, in a few days, kay?"
I nodded even though he couldn't see me. "Yeah, in a few days, see you Sam."
"See you."

~A Few Days Later~

"Sophie?" I called, my extremely intelligent blonde older sister, yes, blonde and intelligent, walked out of the kitchen.
"Yeah? I was in the middle of making dinner; Sam's family is coming over today, right?"
I nodded. "I think their flight is about to land, we need to go pick them up." Sophie nodded and went back into the kitchen.
"What are you doing Soph?" I asked, she yelled from the kitchen,
"Cooking, you go get them! You have your licence now."
I hit myself in the head, I just remembered that I got my licence three days ago, truthfully, I was still in shock. I had the memory of a two year old, I was smart, but couldn't memorize crap. I put on my black high heeled ribbon shoes which tied all the way up to my knees, grabbed my purse and jumped into my new car.
I just couldn't wait to see the look on Sam's face when I show him my new car, a BMW M6 convertible. In black. Sophie bought it for me when I got my licence. When I got it I almost screamed, it was beautiful. With tan leather interior, it was awesome!

I walked into the airport I sighed as I realised I had walked into the Domestic arrivals door and not the international arrivals door. I am such an idiot.
I started walking though the crowd, through the cafe, through the stores until I got to international with two minutes to spare.
"Thank fu-" I didn't finish my sentence because someone picked me up from behind and hugged my tightly.
"June! My sister from another mister!" a voice said.
I squealed loudly, "Sam! Eeeeee!" I know I sounded like a complete idiot, but I didn't care, I hadn't seen him in years. Not since I moved back to New Zealand.
I was born in New Zealand but moved to the USA when I was 14 and he was 15, I stayed there with my dad and Sophie till he got a job back in NZ, I missed my best friend so much, but we kept in contact, now he's here!

"How are you?" I asked Sam and his parents, Sam grinned and Judy reassured me that the flight was fine.
Then I turned to Sam again. "Sam! I can't believe it! You're actually here!"
He rolled his eyes, "how can you not believe it? We've been planning for months."
I just slapped his arm lightly, "So? I'm still in shock" then that reminded me of an earlier comment, "Oh! Guess what!!!" I said jumping around slightly.
"What? Is it that exciting?" I continued jumping as we got the place where you pick up your luggage (I forgot what it's called) and told him, "I got my licence!"
He raised his eyebrows, "Really? You, behind the wheel of a car?"
I pretended to pout, "Yeah, I'm a good driver! Just wait until you see my car".

"No way..." That was Sam; he had just seen my car. My very, very shiny car.
"Like it?" I asked.
He nodded, then shrugged, "Not as cool as my car, I'm getting it sent here. 2007 Camaro."
I was impressed, they were pretty cool. "Sweet as! Do ya wanna get going or just stand here admiring my car?"
Sam tried to elbow me in the ribs, but I caught his head in a headlock. "Ha! I'm still better than you at wrestling!"
He turned his head to look up at me and caught sight of my necklace.

I know I've seen that someplace, that metal, it looks so familiar.
"Sam? Hellooooo? Are we going?" Juniper had let me go and was getting impatient.
"Yeah, coming." I didn't dwell on the necklace, mainly because I was scared for my life. The last time I had been in a car with Juniper driving was when my dad was trying to teach us how to drive. It didn't end well. Let's just say that tree was never the same, and neither was my dad's old car.
My dad looked about as scared as me. "Are you sure you don't want me to drive?" He asked Juniper, she shook her head.
"No thanks Mr Witwicky." She said pleasantly.
"Just call me Ron, you're family now, Juniper."

As we were driving along, my mom, always the optimist decided to just jump in and embarrass Juni and me, "You've grown up so much! So gorgeous! Just like Sam's girlfriend, Mikaela, she's coming here really soon, isn't she Sam?" She shifted the limelight to me so fast and I had no idea what was happening.
Juni raised an eyebrow, "You have a girlfriend? And you didn't tell me? I'm hurt Samuel Witwicky." She said in a mock-hurt voice.
"Well, yeah" I said.
She smiled again. "Would this Mikaela happen to be the most popular girl in Tranquility?"
I shrugged, not wanting it to be a big deal.
"Well, let's get going home!" Said mom, "It's so nice of you to invite us into you home."
Juni smiled widely, "It's nothing, really, it's so awesome that you guys could come and live here." She said as I swerved around a rather large van,
"June, aren't you going a little fast?" I asked nervously.
She just gave me an exasperated look and said, "Sam, I'm going under the speed limit for your sake. You're such a worry wart."
That didn't really make me feel better.

(Snow Manor, Christchurch, New Zealand, Juniper POV)

I was so excited! Sam was actually here! At my house! But he still didn't trust my driving, just because of that one time...

"This is your house?" Judy exclaimed.
I had to admit, my house was pretty big, but my real house was basically the garage, I had all my stuff in there.
It was originally the barn, but I converted it into a super high ceilinged loft type place, I like big spaces. But the coolest part was that I put in decks halfway up three walls to create a two storied effect with ladders to get up there, but there was a stage like area down the back. Basically the whole place was like a warehouse.
A warehouse with a lot of car parts.

Once everyone got settled in I took Sam to see the garage. It was separated from the house by a small forest, so it took about five minutes to walk slowly to it. We were talking the whole way, about random stuff like always.
"So... Hi." I said.
Sam just looked at me like I was insane, and then smiled.
It was so easy to be myself around him, normally I was classed as a social outcast, because I acted differently, but Sam was kind and let me be completely weird and stuff around him.
I didn't make friends very easily, so that's why Sam's friendship was special to me.

"Woah, this is awesome." He said as we entered the garage.
"This is where all my stuff is, so you'll have the house basically to yourselves besides Sophie and my dad."
He nodded absentmindedly as he walked around all the car parts strewn on the stage type area. "I knew you were into cars, but this looks like Mikaela's mechanic shop."
I laughed, "Yeah, I went there once, Mikaela's really cool."
His eyes widened in my direction, "You've met her?"
I laughed again, "Yeah, at school, re-mem-ber?" I drew out the word to emphasize the point.
Then Sam pointed at the dust cover of my oldest car. "What's under there?"
I shrugged, "My dad's old car, I've kept it even though it doesn't run anymore. It was always my favourite car." I walked toward him and the car,
"Can I see?" Sam asked.
I nodded, "Sure, go ahead."
He pulled off the dust cover and saw the car.
"1965 Mercury Comet." I said, it was a really nice car. Sunshine yellow, my dad used to tell me that sunshine yellow was the colour of my personality, when I wasn't hiding it.
"Sweet! This is an awesome car!" Sam said, snapping me out of the short flashback.

A loud ringing broke our attention to the old Comet. It was Sophie calling to announce that dinner was ready.
We were talking nonstop thought the forest about cars. It was so interesting to talk to Sam about them, even though he only knew the bare minimal.

When we neared the house, Sam gasped, I followed his gaze and landed on a very nice looking canary yellow Camaro.
"This your car?" I said, raising my eyebrows, I take back the "very nice" and change it to an "extremely cool".
Sam nodded and went up to it.
"Who got it here?" He kinda ignored my question and started talking about how quickly it got here.
"Pretty sweet ride, Sam-a-roo" I said.
"Yeah, it's a really great car." He replied, then Sophie rang me again urging us to get to dinner before it got cold. I started walking towards the house.
"You'll have to show me the perks of your car later, otherwise you'll have to face the wrath of Sophia Louise Snow." I teased.
He looked up and told me to go on without him, I shrugged, boys and their cars…

(Snow Manor, Christchurch, New Zealand, Sam's POV)

"What are you doing here Bee?" I whispered to my car as soon as Juniper was out of earshot. "You're not suppose to be here, you were suppose to be coming in a few days, ya know, secrecy and all that, it takes longer than twelve hours for a car to drive from Nevada to New Zealand!"
Bumblebee just gave me an unhappy chirp and whispered quietly, "I was worried about you, you didn't call."
Awww, he was worried, that's kinda cute, but it still didn't help the secrecy thing. "Okay, I'm sorry I didn't call, but you really shouldn't do this sort of thing, the Decepticons are gone, I'll be fine."
I frowned as I knew there was something else wrong, I could feel the tension almost rolling of his body in waves.
"Well, Sam, there's a slight problem." He said.
"And it would be?" I replied.
Bee didn't reply for a second, "We think there might be shards of the Allspark strewn across the Earth, they could be dangerous if touched."
Then it hit me, the necklace Juni was wearing, the metal was identical to the Allsparks metal.
"So where are the others?" I asked, referring to the other Autobots.
He didn't reply. "Oh no, no, no, no. Not here?"
Bee confirmed my fears. "Yes, Sam. They're in the garage place. They think they should meet your friend."
I stared disbelieving at him, "They want to… What? Why?"
I could tell he was about to answer, when Juniper came out again.
"Sam, come on, you've been out here for like five minutes, we can marvel at your car after dinner." Then she walked back inside.
"Stay." I told Bee, very sternly.

(Snow Manor, Christchurch, New Zealand, Juniper's POV)

Sam said he had something to show me, it didn't seem that weird. The only thing that was weird was that Sam's car was mysteriously gone once we went outside after dinner, he didn't seem worried.
"Sam, what's going on? You seem really stressed." I was worried about him; maybe it was post-traumatic whatever it's called.

As I walked into my giant garage I didn't know what to expect. Just not this.

Standing in front of me was five giant robots.
