Chapter #2

- Gwendolyn's POV -

The next three weeks of school flow by fast. With my new friends help (still surprised I have any) I was able to catch up with them and ace the exams. Now it's summer time, a time to hang with friends and have fun. I had previously invited Skylar, Jillian, Beth, and Madison over so we were in my basement (Yes I call it mine, my dad never comes down so...). Beth was trying to beat my score on the Doctor Who pinball machine, Skylar and Jillian were waiting for the popcorn machine to finish, while me and Madison were on the couch in front of the flat screen. Madison is reading and I'm just staring into the ceiling.

"We should do something outdoors." I blurt, not realizing that I said it out loud.

"What would we do?" Jillian asks. The Doctor Who Darlek started to speak and I could here a clang.

"Don't hit it Beth, what did it ever do to you?" Skylar states.

"Not let me win, that's what." Beth says. She walks over to the couch and sits down.

"Giving up already are we?" I say mockingly.

"Just giving the game a break," Beth says. "What was this about outdoors fun I heard?" Jillian and Skylar had started making their way over here and were now sitting by Madison and I. Madison had now just put down her book to listen to the conversation.

"Well... We've been only indoors and the days are great. It's sunny, warm..." I say.

"Your right, but what would we do?" Madison asks. And she speaks!

"I was just thinking a walk in the park? Something to start with." I look at my friends. They were pondering on the situation. Please, please, please! Say yes.

"Fine by me," Beth answers. One down, three to go.

"Sure it'll be fun!" Skylar says excitedly. Two.

"Why not." Madison says. Three!

"No matter what you say Jillian we are going, Majority rules." I say before Jillian could say anything. She smiles.

"I was going to say lets go anyway." With that we set off for the nearest park, laughing. I didn't know this was the worst idea ever, but then again people were never this cruel at any other place I've been to.

At the park children were on the playground and skaters were skating, nothing out of the ordinary. We were walking down the bike path, laughing in the fresh air and trying (failing at the most) to catch the passing butterflies.

"This is soooo fun," Skylar says, emphasizing the 'so'.

"Yeah, great idea Gwen," Jillian says. I smile.

"Thanks." After a while of walking, two boys from school on the bench start yelling at us.

"What are you freaks doing here?" Said the one on the right.

"Yeah, your ruining the air." The one on the left adds. I see the cigarette box in the boy on the rights hand.

"Looks like the only one ruining the air would be the two of you." I snap. The boys became red in the face. I turn to Madison and everyone else and signaled to keep walking. What I didn't know was that the boy on the right had reached down and grabbed a rock, motioning for his buddy to get one to. The boy on the left smiles and picks one up.

"Hey, freak!" The boy on the right hollered. My one mistake was turning around, for the rock in that boys hand rammed straight into my forehead. I fall back into Beth's arms. I reach my hand to feel were the rock had made contact with my head and felt a liquid. I was bleeding! It oozed down my face and onto my shirt. Skylar stared in horror, only to have a rock hit her arm. Rocks were now rains on us. It seemed that others had started to help. As we ran from the rocks my vision started to blur. I stumble, and almost fall if it wasn't for Beth being by my side.

Once we had made it back to the house, Madison checked all our wounds. She somehow knew how to use everything in the First Aid kit. Skylar's arm has a slit cut on it that was easily patched up and she then insisted on helping Madison with the others injures. Jillian had fallen from trying to avoid a rock and has a bruise on the side of her head, nothing major. Beth had escaped with only little cuts and bruises. Everyone was just focused on me. I apparently had a concussion and a deep cut in my forehead. That guy had some throw, thats for sure. My head was bandaged and my vision had cleared again.

The sun was starting to set and everyone had their worried faces on. This was good day gone bad. How could those boys live with hurting others like that? I mean... I couldn't finish my thought. I was at the moment occupied with how I was going to kill those boys.

"That wasn't as fun as I thought it would be," Skylar comments, breaking the silence in the room.

"I'm so sorry guys, I just really wanted to go to the park," I say, my voice clouded in sadness.

"It wasn't your fault Gwen," Madison says, trying to comfort me.

"If I didn't talk back at that..." I couldn't finish, I was just so angry with myself. Jillian had been staring outside into the sun for a while now in deep thought.

"You can still go to the park Gwen," Jillian says. We all turn to her.

"How? Those boys probably spread the word and if we ever go again we'll be pelted by rocks!" Skylar says, deep worry in her voice.

"The parks always open and theres no school." Jillian states.

"How does that relate to going to the park without being hurt?" Madison questions. She was sitting by Skylar, holding her close, comforting her. I have really good friends.

"No one will go to the park tonight so..." Jillian let the statement linger in the air.

"We can go and not be attacked!" Beth exclaims. Everyone's faces light up. We all head out to the park as the sun sets behind the trees.

The moon was full and the park empty. This was a great idea, no one was there so we were able to enjoy ourselves. After a while of swinging and sliding we are all laying in the grass in a circle, our hands meeting in the middle. A flash of light streaks across the sky.

"Look, look, look! A shooting star." Skylar points out. We all look at it for a while, and then suddenly the star spins around and starts to angle itself downward. This was fine and all, except that it was coming straight for us!

"Scatter!" I yell. Everyone moves away from our former spot just in time. The star rams a giant hole in the ground where just moments ago we were sitting.

"What the?!" Beth whispers in wonder. We are all leaning over the sides to see... a box? It was a metallic box that just fell from the sky! After we all gathered to one side of the hole, the dust had cleared and I could make out more details on the box. It had some sort of weird symbols on it. The symbols were glowing a dim blue and moving around on the box.

"What is it?" Madison asked out loud, not expecting any kind of reply. No one says anything, probably too dumbfounded by this occurrence to even speak. At least that was my reason for silence. We all took one more step closer to the edge of the hole to look closer. Big mistake. The ground underneath us gave and we tumbled into the hole.

We all groan in pain from the fall. As we help each other up, we fail to notice the box glowing brighter. I had been the first on to the bottom and had landed against the box thingy. Everyone was on there feet and looking for a way out. I had to place my hand on the box to help me up, but when I did the place were my hand had touched glowed bright, I mean very bright. Everyone turns around and looks at the thing. I back into Madison.

Five rays of the blue light shoot out of the thing and hit us all in the chest. We all scream in pain. Whatever this was it felt like it was melting my insides. I manage to open my eyes and look around. Everyone was glowing the same blue as the light from the box. I stare at the box. Was it melting? But the melted metal didn't flow down, it went into the rays of light and went into me and my friends bodies! Once the metal in my ray hit me I screamed even louder. It felt like it was pushing through my bones. Once the box was gone the light stopped and we all collapsed on the ground. Everyone, even myself, were slightly glowing, but it was starting to fade. Everything went black.

- Optimus Prime's POV -

"Optimus, we've tracked the cubes course and it seems to have landed on the planet named Earth."

"Thank you, Scattershot." He looks down at his comrade still standing in front of him. "Is there something else?"

"Yes sir, it seems the cube has split into five parts."

"What? How is that possible?" The cube was said to be impermeable to damage, how could it split?

"I don't know, sir. We'll have to find out when we get there."

"Set course for the cube...cubes."

"Yes, sir!"

This was very troubling. How could the cube split? Just like Scattershot said, we'll have to find out when we get there.

I hope you liked the action I added. Ahh poor girls, they just want to have fun. Don't worry those boys will get whats been coming *evil laugh*. OMG, the Auto-bots make an entrance! wait till you find out what happened to the girls, though it's pretty obvious i don't think Prime would see this coming.
