Anything's Possible

Chapter 2: A Little TLC

Okay, I know it has been FOREVER since I've posted but I have a good reason. Finals are coming up soon and I have to prepare for them. Also, I'm in the Nutcracker at my dance studio and things are really hectic. Eh, but anyways enough about me here's chapter 2!


~ Skylar's P.O.V ~

I woke up that morning to someone shaking me. Man, why wouldn't they just leave me alone? I quietly growled and turned over in bed before whoever was shaking me shook me again.

"What?" I said as I sat up. My sister, Katie was the one trying to wake me up. Realizing it was her I smiled slightly. Katie held out a brush and a scrunchie to me while climbing on my bed to sit on my lap.

"Braid please," Katie said while yawning.

"Kat, why don't you wear your hair down for once?" I asked her while brushing her hair. Katie refuses to wear her beautiful, dark brown hair down no matter how pretty she looks with it down.

"I don't like my hair down. Do a braid please." She said again, and I sighed slightly before braiding her hair and tying the scrunchie around the end. Once I finished, I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead and shooed her out of the room, so I could get ready for school.

I quickly shoved on some ripped jeans, a light T-shirt and some Adidas. I walked into the bathroom to put on some light makeup. Just some foundation, concealer, and mascara were all I wore. It was just the right amount, so I didn't look like I was overdoing it. I started brushing out my long, dirty blonde hair before walking downstairs.

"Morning Sky." My mom said to me. I smiled and grabbed a piece of bacon from the plate on the counter.

"Morning," I said before grabbing my bag and my car keys. "Come on Katie, we need to go."

"Coming!" Katie came running out of her bedroom with Willow on her heels. I smiled at that. Willow came up and rubbed her head against my leg, wanting me to pet her. I gave her a quick pat before walking out the door to my car. Katie opened the back door and climbed in. I got in the driver's seat and started the car.

"You buckled?" I asked her.

"Yup!" Katie said before I pulled out of the driveway and onto the road. On our way, I quickly glanced over towards the woods where I was last night. Maybe I should tell someone about that thing? I shook the thought out of my mind and focused on driving to Katie's school.

About ten minutes later, I pulled into her school and she got out of the car. I gave her a quick wave goodbye before driving to my high school.

There was only one more day of school before summer vacation, so we weren't really doing anything in school today or tomorrow. I pulled into the parking lot and parked before getting out. I walked through the doors and then to my first period, sitting next to my friends. I gave them a quick wave before class started.

Lunchtime

"Sky," My friend Alexandra said. The only people who call me Sky are the people who I've either known forever or people that really care about me. Alex was one of them. "Want to go to the mall after school?"

Oh man, I really wanted to, but I am supposed to stay home with Katie tonight.

"I can't, Alex. I have to stay home with Katie tonight because my mom is going out," I said before stuffing my mouth with the pasta they served for lunch. I heard Alex sigh to my right.

"That's ok. Maybe later?"

"Of course."

"Oh crap, Tyler's coming over here," Alex said while staring down at her plate. Tyler is a guy that has liked me ever since we met, which was a long time ago. I sighed before someone sat down next to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. I rolled my eyes and took his hand off me, moving away from him.

"Hey, Skylar." He said with a smirk, inching closer to me.

I was getting so tired of him. "I'm not going to be your girlfriend, Tyler. Stop trying and go find someone else." I shoved him off the chair he was sitting on. He growled and brushed himself off, glaring at me the whole time.

"You'll be mine one day, just wait." He said before walking over to his group of friends that were laughing at his failed attempt to flirt.

I scoffed and took a sip of my water before getting up to throw my plate away. "Let's go, Alex. Class is going to start soon," I said while walking off towards class.

After school

"Bye, Skylar," Alex said while walking to her car.

"Bye," I said, opening the driver's side door and getting in, throwing my bag in the passenger's seat. I checked my phone to make sure I still had time to get to Katie's school, and I did. I started up my car and drove out of the parking lot and onto the road.

Katie was waiting by the school doors when I arrived. I honked, and she looked up before walking towards me and slipping into the backseat. "I don't like it when you honk the horn," Katie said while buckling her seatbelt. I smiled and started to drive home.

"Sorry, Kat. How about we go get some ice cream later?" I looked through the mirror and saw her wide smile.

"Yay!" Katie said, still smiling.

Not long after I picked Katie up, we pulled into the driveway. I turned the car off and got out, grabbing my bag and Katie's bag before closing the door. Katie was already at the front door, waiting for me. I could already hear barking coming from inside the house. Katie motioned for me to give her the keys to the house because apparently, she liked trying to open the front door. I gave them to her, and she fiddled with the doorknob. While she was trying to open the door, I glanced towards the forest behind us, wondering if that thing was still there. I was shaken out of my thoughts when a brown and white figure jumped on me, tackling me to the ground.

"Willow!" I managed to say through the dog licking my face. She sat up and rubbed her head, getting up shortly after. Katie closed the door and walked upstairs to her room. I filled up Willow's food and water bowl before heading upstairs myself. I walked into Katie's room and found her at her desk, doing homework.

"Hey, Kat, I'm going to be outside for a bit. We'll go to ice cream after dinner, 'kay?"

"Okay." She said and I walked downstairs and out of the door.

Willow tried to push her nose out of the slightly cracked door, but I stopped her. "No Willow. You stay here with Katie." I patted her head and walked out to the barn. I grabbed the tack and went to get Caspian from the pasture. He came running to the fence when I whistled. Once the tack was on, I got on and we started to make our way to the forest path.

Caspian snorted and tossed his head when we got a good way into the forest. I put my hand on him to try and calm him down. He seemed more nervous than usual today.

About three minutes later, the barn came into view. I stopped Caspian and got off, tying him to a tree a little way away from the barn. He tossed his head and snorted again, but I gave him a stroke before slowly making my way to the entrance. My footprints from last night were visible because of that weird blue liquid.

Why am I doing this? I thought before backing up slightly. If that thing is injured, maybe I could help it? I mean it didn't attack me when I saw it yesterday. As far as I know.

I took a deep breath and walked in slowly, not knowing if the car was still there. When I peeked around the shelf, I saw that the car was still there. I debated whether to run or to try and help, but I couldn't just leave it here to die. Would it die? I didn't know. Slowly, I gathered my courage and stepped out from behind the shelf. I would have to pray to God that it wouldn't kill me when it saw me.

"Hello?" I said quietly, still standing a good distance away from the Corvette. I saw its headlights brighten a little bit. It was like it was looking at me.

The car revved its engine as a form of greeting, and I flinched. "I- I figured that I couldn't just leave with you being hurt," I said. At least I thought it was hurt, there were bullet holes everywhere on it.

"Thank you." The radio said. I backed into the wall when I heard the deep voice.

"You can speak?"

"Yes. My designation is Sideswipe. Who are you?" The car said to me.

"My designation? Oh, Skylar." I guessed a 'designation' was a name. "You're not going to hurt me?"

If cars could laugh, I think this one just did. "Oh Primus, no," Sideswipe said through giggles. "Just don't turn me in and I think we'll be just fine."

I nodded and cautiously moved towards the car. It didn't move or anything, so I guess it was okay for me to approach it. Once I was a foot away from the front bumper, I knelt slowly. Gently, I moved my hand across the bumper. There were bullet holes everywhere. I felt like I needed to help.

"I'm going to help you," I said before getting up and taking a step back. "I'll be back in a little bit. Don't go anywhere."

I turned around and walked out of the barn. Caspian was still where I had left him. I got on and we and we made our way back.

"Come on, where is it?" I said, rummaging through the shelves in the garage.

I was looking for a pan to put the bullets in, so they aren't just lying on the ground. Finally, I found a pan and a pair of pliers. Katie was still upstairs in her room. I don't think that she heard me come in, so I slipped out the front door and ran back to Caspian.

"Stop eating, let's go." Caspian lifted his head from the grass and snorted. I smiled before getting on and holding the pan and the pliers in one hand.

A couple minutes later, I got off and walked into the abandoned structure. Sideswipe was still there, which was good.

"I got some things to help get the bullets out," I said as I set the pan and the pliers down next to the car.

I grabbed the pliers and walked towards the hood. "Can I?" I asked and the engine revved. I nodded and started to pull the bullets out.

Once I was done with the hood, I realized how many more holes there were. I sighed and started on the rest of the car.

"How'd you find me?" A voice from the car said.

"I was riding my horse and... and I guess I went deeper into the forest than I usually go and found you."

"Oh."

I nodded slightly and continued to work. Occasionally, I would peek outside to see if Caspian was still there.

"So," I said, "why are you here?"

"We came here a couple years ago to find the All Spark and save our planet. But recently, the humans decided they were better off without us and started killing us off. So, every remaining Autobot is in hiding."

I put the bullets I pulled out inside the pan. It seemed like I got every bullet out, so I sat down next to the car. I started at the ground as he told their story.

"Although, recently, I received a message from our leader, Optimus Prime."

"Well, what did the message say?" I asked.

I heard a crackling sound come from the radio before the message started to play, "Calling all Autobots. We are under targeted attack. Cease all contact with humans." The radio cut off after that.

I averted my gaze from the car, "If the message said to cease all contact with us," I looked back up at the car, "then why are you still here with me?"

There was a short pause from him before he spoke again. "Well, for starters, you're helping me heal. Also, you're not trying to hurt me or turn me into Cemetery Wind."

"What's Cemetery Wind?"

"The human organization that wants to kill us."

I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and checked the time. It read 8:27. I shoved my phone back in my pocket and stood up. "I have to go now. I'll be back tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, Skylar," Sideswipe said.

When I walked outside, Caspian was still there. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he got away before hopping on and heading home.

"Katie, I'm home," I said when I walked through the door. Katie was sitting on the couch watching some TV with Willow beside her. She looked up at the sounds of footsteps and smiled.

"Sky!" She said before hopping up and down, "I finished my homework, can we go get ice cream now?"

I nodded and grabbed my keys before opening the door for her. She hopped in the back and I got in the driver's seat before starting the car.

"Bruster's?" I said while backing out of the driveway, and Katie nodded.

About ten minutes later, we arrived at Bruster's and since it was late, we went to the drive-through. I ordered what she wanted and gave it to her.

"Don't drip any ice cream on my seats, Kat," I said while handing her some napkins. I watched as she put the napkin around the ice cream cone before I started driving home.

When we pulled into the driveway, mom's car was there. I turned the engine off and got out. Katie was already out and sprinting up the porch steps to the front door. I laughed and continued to walk inside.

"Hey mom," I said when I got inside.

She walked up to me and gave me a hug, "Hi sweetie," She kissed me on the forehead.

"I'm going upstairs," I said while walking upstairs to my room. I walked over to my drawers and got some pajama shorts and a T-shirt. I quickly changed before sitting down on my bed to start my homework. We didn't have a lot considering the last day of school was this Friday.

I barely even started before my mind drifted to other places. I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen if Cemetery Wind found Sideswipe in that barn. Would they kill him if I was there? Would they hurt me if they found me there too? I shoved the thoughts aside and started to work on my homework.
