"Well then we have a problem" I stated once the initial thrill of the situation was over. "Where is everyone going to sleep?"

"Well I want a bed because I am a girl and a wimpy one at that," Darcy laughed because I knew that she was not wimpy. "I don't want to be uncomfortable for the night that I stay here."

"Okay so my bedroom and the extra bedroom is already full so we probably have an air mattress and the couch up for grabs"

"I call the mattress because I totally disserve it and I am not sharing with you Fang. You kick really hard." Iggy laughed at some great memory from a while ago. "You left brouses man."

"Okay Iggy I will get you an air mattress. Where is it downstairs Grandma?"

"I don't know hun. Your mom was the one that put it away last so it can be just about anywhere." My grandma admitted effectively ruining my day. I absolutely hated the basement.

I shake my head and head down into the basement and once I get down there I realize that someone came with me. I look up and see Fang.

"So you have followed me. Why?"

"You looked like you needed the company and I thought that I might as well be of some help because Iggy and I are turning your life upside-down right now."

"Wow Fang I think that is the longest speech that you have ever made. Here I thought that you never talked." I shake my head and start searching the basement for that air mattress. "Since you are here look on the left side of the basement and maybe we will get lucky and actually find this thing." I start shifting thought the metal shelves and soon I am rewarded.

I quickly walk back upstairs with Fang right behind me. "I found the bed so we now have enough room for everyone to sleep. Darcy can I borrow you for a second?"

"Yes of course," she said as I grabbed her hand and pulled her outside and down the road a little ways to the garage where we went in to find the air pump.

"Darcy what do I do? Fang is here! In my house and he is as dark and mysterious as the books made him appear to be." I stare off into space because I know that Darcy does not have any answers. Since we were silent we heard a car pull up in front of the garage. We ran outside and found a very big surprise waiting for us.

"Alex, am I going crazy or is a yellow camero with a note on the windshield sitting in the driveway?"

"I think we are both going crazy because I see it too." I walk over and see my name on the note.

Alex

I am here to protect you and your friend

Please drive this car out to Lions Road

Everything will be explained there

I walked up to the car and the door just opens so I turn to Darcy. "Are you coming Darcy?"

"Are you crazy? That car just appeared here and you are willing to just go wherever that note told you to go?" She looked like I was in need to be locked in a padded room.

"Well wherever you are going I'm coming with" said Fang as he walked out from behind a huge tree in the back yard.

"Okay hop into the back seat. Or in the front if Darcy does not come" I said a little pleased because no one could be mad at their favorite character for long.

"No way are you leaving me here" she says as she gets into the passenger seat. I have to let Fang into the backseat and then I get in and start the engine when I find the keys already in the ignition. It sounded great and I was so glad that my brother had given me lesson on how to drive a stick shift. I backed out of the drive and quickly pulled out onto the road and zoomed off to Lions road. Once I had driven a little ways the car just stalled and we were all thrown from the car. Lucky I had not been driving too fast.

Once we had stopped rolling I looked up to see not the car but a robot. I stared in shock while Darcy knees gave way.

"Who are you?" I said as bravely as I could to the robot.

"The names Bumble bee Alex. I am here to protect you."

"What are you protecting me from exactly?" I asked. What could possibly be in Illinois that was dangerous?

"I will protect you from anything and everything that comes your way. Time to get you back now that I have introduced myself." He said in a more human voice than I thought a robot would have. Bee transformed back into a car and drove us home.
