Leo was freaking out. Freaking out over the loss of his normal.

He had a right do, did he not?

Everything had been normal 24 hours ago. He had finally gotten away from his parents, his website was up and running, he had happily continued to hit on girl after girl in hopes of getting a date. He was normal and safe, and life had been looking great. Then Samuel Witwicky had enter his life and that was when his normal started to slip away from him.

The girl of his dreams turned out to be a terminator robot, the school was exploding around him, he was running for his life across campus with two people he barley knew, both arguing with one another over something that seemed completely ridiculous now. Then the girl had hotwired a car and as she ran over the robot thing and drove away, he begged them for answers, for them to tell him what was happening. He wanted some sense of normal back.

But then normal slipped further away as the car they were in was lifted of the ground by a helicopter and Leo found his world spinning around him, as Sam screamed and the girl screamed. So Leo screamed because somehow screaming felt normal.

What happened after the helicopter sent them crashing towards the ground was all a blur to Leo, his brain unable to keep up with what his senses were sending to it. All he could remember was standing next to the girl as she sobbed, watching as a monster tortured his roommate, and feeling fear twisted in his gut at the possibility of having to witness the murder of the person that stole his normal.

Just as the little robot on Sam chest was about to cut his head open, Leo unable to tear his eyes away as his roommate begged for his life, the wall to his left exploded and Leo found himself running again. Him and the girl ran from the building, his legs burning, as gun shots sounded behind them. A yellow Camaro came into view, racing towards them, and the girl switched direction, as though it was normal to run towards an oncoming car. Leo did the only thing he could think of and followed her.

As they jumped into the momentarily stationary vehicle, Leo realized that there was on one operating it, no one sitting behind the steering wheel to step on the gas and make it move. The door slammed itself shut, almost crushing his foot. Leo laid in the backseat, breathing hard, trying to make sense of what was happening, trying to get some normal out of everything that had just happened, everything he had just witnessed. But then the car launched forward but still no one was sitting in the drivers seat, no one operating it, as the girl was sitting in the passenger seat, head in her hands, crying hysterically. And then Leo realized that the car was driving itself and that was defiantly not normal.

But wait…wasn't this Sam's car?

What the hell?

Soon, other driverless cars joined them, all of them driving at speeds that seemingly weren't possible. They entered a wooded area and the cars in front of the yellow one stood-up and started firing at the robots from the warehouse. Leo felt another piece of his normal fall away and he clung desperately to the last bit of it, hoping to at least maintain some normality. Sam was running towards them, half blinded by tears, anguish written on his face. The girl quickly climbed into the drivers seat and Sam hurled himself through the open door.

After they were a good mile away from the fighting, everything became quiet and Leo relished in the feeling of normal that came with it. Sam sat looking out the open passenger window, shaking, and then he turned towards the women in the drivers seat. She opened her arms and Sam latched onto her, sobbing. After a few moments of uncontrollable crying, the women finally got him to speak, to tell them what had happened in the woods and Sam whispered between sobs that he had gotten someone named Optimus killed.

And that was when the last remaining piece of Leo's normal slipped away. It disappeared forever when he learnt they were mourning a robot.

So he did the only thing that made sense to him anymore.

He freaked out over the loss of his normal.

Just something I thought up while watching ROFT last night. Sorry if it makes no sense.

I purposely avoided using the word normality. So, I don't want that pointed out to me.

Review and tell me what you think. Thanks!
