Sam's house
We were now entering a more enclosed area, a street, and bumblebee turned off down a very narrow alleyway, he finally slowed down to a stop as Sam and Mikaela came out of him, the boy started talking to Mikaela frantically in his speech as he disappeared through an entrance.
I do not know what he is doing but i must implore that we have those glasses, "Ellen." I then say.
"Yes?" she replied.
"Would you mind stepping out, I'm going to transform." I tell her.
"Okay." She said nodding happily as i opened my doors for her, she slid down from my seats onto the floor, trying to find her footing, she was so small.
I transformed much quicker this time, as the others did the same, Mikaela then approached me as she waved at me with both hands frantically, "hold on, just wait a minute." She said pleading.
"I am sorry but we cannot wait." I said as i took in my surroundings, sams home was surrounded by an enforcing wall and many perennial plants most of which i outgrew, i stepped over as i leaned on his house roof for balance, but also being aware for there were many small objects surrounding us, i motioned to ironhide, ratchet and jazz to enter from different directions as bumblebee leapt over and barrel rolled, his smaller frame made it easier for him to maneuver.
what was before me now was Sam having a conversation with another of the vacants that were inside his house, bumblebee waved for me to back off as i almost intervened, bumblebees knowledge of humans is much more vast then my own as he had been on earth for two years so i withdrew, But in an instance Sam approached me frantically again, i steadied out my arms as a way of balance as it was a difficult task avoiding every small object in this vegetated area, as well as Sam who was begging me about a path and was pleading in general.
But if he could remain still i could... "Oh no!" Sam exclaimed, oh primus what was that?! I left my foot in mid-air as i looked upon the damage, an aggregate structure composed of earthly materials i had destroyed it under my foot and from the boys reaction it was of value to him.
"Oops sorry my bad." I apologized, not my usual tone of speech but i felt foolish for destroying the object, seeing how Sam has the glasses I'd rather have a neutral understanding with him.
"Arh, you couldn't wait for five...you couldn't wait five minutes? I told you to stay, just stay! God!" the boy scolded his stress levels at the maximum, he then ran to Mikaela who were now both showing unusual high levels of stress at this point, surely the request of a certain item cannot cause this level of stress on the humans.
I looked to my feet to scan everything i had to avoid as i became slightly alarmed as Ellen was by my side again, I'd have to be more careful if she was able to sneak up on me undetected, the thought of crushing her is an unpleasant one.
A strange furry creature then exited the building as it was set on ironhide for some purpose; ironhide was unsure of it but remained still as it made high pitched defensive noises at him, then it sniffed Ironhides foot as it lifted a leg up and...Leaked lubricants on ironhide.
"Mojo! Mojo off the robot!" Sam cried.
Ratchet chuckled quietly, though this was not amusing in my opinion and ironhide would agree with that opinion. Sam came running over, "uh wet!" ironhide declared as he flicked the furry creature away from him with a single digit of his foot. The furry creature named 'mojo' yelped as Sam picked him up and held him protectively as ironhide revealed his weapons, i watched on in case a situation would arise where i would have to intervene.
"whoa whoa whoa, easy, easy this is mojo, this mojo, he's a pet of mine okay he's a pet that's all just put the guns away, p-put the, put them away p-please." Sam said, his pitch of voice changing.
"You have a rodent infestation shall terminate?" ironhide said eagerly as his weapons hummed.
"No, no he's not a rodent he's a Chihuahua, t-this is my, this is my Chihuahua w-we love Chihuahuas don't we?!" Sam said turning to Mikaela for some kind of aid.
"He's leaked lubricants all other my foot!" ironhide grumped.
"h-he peed on you?" the boy asked, he then held mojo low to the ground, "bad mojo, bad mojo." He scolded.
"Bad mojo!" ironhide scolded too.
"Sorry he's got a male dominance thing that's all it is." Sam explained.
Ironhide stomped off in another direction grumbling, "urgh! Foots gonna rust..."
Then Sam came rushing in again through my legs,"okay, okay, shh, shh, shh, shutupandgohide!" he said very fast as he proceeded to inside his house.
"Just hurry." I said bluntly, we had wasted enough time as it is, "autobots recon." I said pointing in a general direction away from viewing. Ironhide and ratchet stayed behind the side of the house as bumblebee was on his hands and knees though i couldn't see what he was doing as a small sized roof blocked my view of him.
I folded my arms across my chest as i tapped my fingers impatiently against my arm; retrieving something you already know the location of should be a swift task.
I looked to my feet as jazz was engaging in some kind of activity with Ellen, she seems easily amused as jazz would show her his fingers then retract them as she made a leap for them, this carried on as jazz himself was entertained, he chuckled lightly, "this kids got quick reflexes." He said as she was victorious in taking a hold on his fingers, he lifted her off the ground as she giggled.
Though this will have to be cut short, "jazz, resume focus." I said, as they both expressed their disappointment, jazz placed her back on the ground as she started spinning around in a circles instead.
The windowed entrance in front of me showed Sam in desperate search which wasn't what i wanted to see, I then looked at Mikaela, perhaps more hands can make lighter work, i knelt down to her as she was slightly startled, "he may require aid." I said as i offered a hand to her, she looked at me then to my hand as she nodded in understanding, she sat herself in my hand as i lifted her up to the window.
"Time is short." I said as i placed her into the room, then knelt down slightly so i could get a look in "please hurry." I pleaded.
"okay." Sam said swiftly.
"Perhaps we should hide like Sam asked?" jazz then spoke up, though i personally wanted to stay by the window to observe their progress, however it would be better to wait then to attract attention.
"Autobots transform." I ordered.
We all did so as we formed ourselves in the middle less suspicious if we're not spaced out, though Sam wouldn't agree it seems. "This isn't hiding, this isn't hiding this i my garden not a truck stop." Sam said to us in panic again, though i do not understand what he means if he just remained calm we would leave him in peace faster, if he just found the glasses.
"You guys look like your part of a car show or something." Ellen small voice seemed to come out of nowhere she lent herself against me as she trailed a finger down my base, "for someone who talks weird, you have style." She added, was she referring to my base color? Or perhaps my alt form in general, either way i want to go back to that window ledge.
"Stand back Ellen." I told her as she complied, at least someone is cooperating. This is getting for a better word intolerable as i headed back to the window i knelt down by the house as i lent a hand up against it for balance again; i peered in to make myself noticed.
"Sam? Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, he's back." I heard Mikaela whisper.
"i can't deal with this," Sam said as he practically charged at the window ledge, i had to retract my head as i wasn't sure if he was going to jump out, but again focusing on sams well being only causes more problems, he looked down to where my feet were, his face horrified "what? Oh no, no, no those are my mother's flowe..."
"oops." I said again, Sam's impression of me must be that of the definition of clumsy.
"Look, listen you gotta listen to me," Sam asked of me frantically, i leaned back in as i lent both hands now on his house. "My parents see you there gonna freak out; my mother's got a temper okay?"
I groaned impatiently, i could no longer hide it, "we must have the glasses." I implored.
"I know you need the glasses, i looked everywhere there not here they're defiantly not here." That was most definitely what i did not want to hear, i was going to blow a gasket, i rubbed my face intently as i summoned every ounce of patience i had left to stop myself from shaking the boy,
"keep searching!" i sternly told him.
"Look i need you to be quiet for five minutes, ten minutes okay?" he asked of me.
I shut my optics tight as every piece of my head whirled in response to my own frustration; i clenched my fist tightly lightly knocking on the side of the building as i tried to remain calm.
"Please I'm begging you, you're making a racket, i can't, I can't concentrate you want me to look..." Sam ranted.
"Calm down, calm down." I then said as it seemed the boy himself may expire from overheating before i do.
"You gotta do something here, you gotta do something here." Sam repeated.
I turned to face the others, "autobots fall back." I ordered as i stood up to my full height, i decided to take my frustration out on the others but make it seem as though there in the fault, "what's the matter with you? Can't you be quiet he wants us to be quiet?!" i ranted at them, though Ellen found it amusing, which didn't help my mood.
While ratchet and ironhide acted like sparkling's, i slapped a hand over my face as ratchet walked into a set of power lines, an electric power transmission. "Oh primus give me strength." I mentally collapsed.
"Wow! That was tingly!" ratchet announced "you gotta try that." He advised ironhide.
"Yeah that looks fun." He answered in a sarcastic tone.
Ellen snickered under her cupped hands uncontrollably, "you guys are funny." She said.
There was no purpose in moving my hand away from my face, one thing happened after another as now we had caused a black out through the whole street of houses. I walked back over to Sam's house in near utter defeat as now without light Sam can't continue his search for the glasses.
Ellen followed me closely she had been doing that the entire night, but this time she rubbed her hands together in an odd fashion, "O-Optimus?" she then said nervously.
i was at breaking point but i-i can't scowl her as well as technically she has done no wrong, "w-what is it?" i tried to retain my usual tone of speech...but it was a struggling task.
"Don't like the dark." She said, nervously glancing around.
She seeks closure from me? She picked the wrong bot; with my temperament ironhide would be a more suitable candidate. "There's no reason for alarm." I told her.
"Can i stay close to you?" She then said practically throwing herself at my foot.
Is she embracing my foot? J-just ignore that focus on the glasses, saying that i then shot a glance at ratchet who was teeming with cables as he turned his lights on, "ratchet point the light."
"Come on hurry." Ironhide said too.
"Guys we got a major issue here...what's with the light you gotta stop with the light, shut it off, shut it off; you gotta tell him to shut it off." Sam said again in his frantic tone.
What has occurred now? The boy had suddenly disappeared back into his room as did Mikaela frantically running in circles. What we heard now was allot of squabbling between Sam and his parents, the ones he warned us about to not 'freak out'.
The arguing occurred as Sams sire came towards our view, "oh parents." I said as i pointed to the others to move away from their positions, just for me to come in contact with another window where i had a visual of Sams sire again, back turned. "Whoa." I said as i moved away backwards too quickly as i lost my balance. i fell up against the side of the house, my hand grabbed a corner as i tried to lift myself up again; the whole house was now in a state of panic as i caused a tremor in their house.
Reclaiming my balance again i quickly ordered, "Quick hide."
"hide." Jazz repeated "uh, where?" jazz added confused as to where he was supposed to go, ratchet and ironhide returned to hiding by the side of the house, jazz then found a small space he could just about fit in, a small under roofed area just under sams quarters, "oh son of a...oh no man! Man!" he said as he got a peep inside sams room just as his sire approached he quickly ducked back down again, taking Ellen into his arms as they crouched under.
"Oh nooo! Look at the yard the yard is destroyed." Sams sire complained as sparking of the power lines caught his attention, "whoa jeez! Ah, Judy better call the city we've got a blown transformer! Power poles sparking all other the place, oh man the yards a waste...trashed, gone!" he ranted, though i wish the parents would return to their own quarters, as my current position wasn't at all practical, I was leaning myself against their house as best as i could muster so i was at least out of their view...if my predecessors could see me now.
"The parents are very irritating can i take them out?" ironhide then questioned.
This forced me out of my position as i towered myself over him, "Ironhide, you know we don't harm humans, what is with you?!" i scolded him, though they may have brought my mentality to its knees' they were still sentient beings like us.
"Why would you want to harm Sam's parents? There so nice." Ellen then spoke up aloud frowning at ironhide.
"I'm just saying we could...it's an option." Ironhide stated.
"What?!" Ellen yelled bewildered.
"Ellen shh!" i pleaded of her.
"W-why would you say something like that? W-why w-would you want to do something l-like t-that? Ellen's speech became uncontrollable as i had seen this behavior before, and i dreaded the outcome.
Her lip trembled and her head sunk, i cringed for the worst case scenario...but she was silent...but it was a silence i did not like, the calm before the storm.
Then it happened it was not weaned into existence, it happened in a instance she shrieked as lubricants streamed down her face, jazz tried to stop her from crying by performing gentle 'shh's'. But failed, as her attention was on no one at this moment but attention toward us was surely eminent.
"I have no choice" i said as i swiftly scooped her up as i desperately tried to calm her down, "don't cry please, easy." I said as i sat her in my palm, though startled by being picked up she didn't stop crying.
"Talk to her Optimus and try rubbing her back" Ratchet said.
"What?" i said slightly bewildered.
"Just do it" He hissed.
With a couple of fingers i gently rubbed her back in a circular motion; she sniffled and coughed a few times before settling down to gentle whimpers. "There now, easy." I said attempting to go for a soothing tone.
She looked up at me as she wiped her eyes, her mouth then opened wide as she let out a sighing sound, her eyes half closed, "what is she displaying ratchet?" i asked concerned, i dreaded anything else to happen.
"She's tired." He replied.
Oh no don't fall into recharge now! "Optimus, humans. Approaching our location." Ironhide said raising his voice.
"Back to the alleyway!" I declared as i stared down at my hand, Ellen had fell back in my palm as she was already in recharge, jazz, bumblebee, ironhide and ratchet all made their way back to the alleyway, i handed ratchet a slumbering Ellen as i took care of my own balance over the trees.
As soon as i was over, ratchet didn't waste any time handing Ellen back to me with much disbelief in my expression, i looked at him with confusion as i didn't know what to do with her.
"Oh it's not like your building a space bridge." Ratchet moaned at me.
"Can i not wake her?" i asked, it would be much easier.
"No. Let her wake up on her own." He told me firmly, this was not a task i wanted to be burdened with at this time, now with the presence of these intruding humans, more time is getting wasted in retrieving those glasses.
"Optimus." Jazz said as he peaked around the bushes, "the intruding humans just took Mikaela, Sam and his family into custody."
I clenched one of my fists, "then they have made a grave mistake." I announced dangerously as my optics followed the group of black vehicles that drove down the road.
A/N I'll probably update my authors note when i remember what i was going to put ^^;
