Blades' POV
I notice that Anthony and Anastasia are getting anxious waiting for their parents to come back.
"How about we watch some TV. Today there is a Disney Movie Marathon on the movie channel."
"Okay sounds good," Anastasia says.
When "Old Yeller" came on Anthony and Anastasia start to look sad, the movie must remind them of Luna. I pick up the remote and try to find a different move. Anthony gets up from the couch.
"Where are you going?" Anastasia asks.
"Outside to get some air," Anthony answers.
Blurr's POV
Anthony leaves the room. I see a sly smirk appear on Anthony's face as he walks past me, so I follow him. I find him in front of the ground bridge controls.
"What are you doing?" Blurr asks.
Anthony jumps and turns around to see me standing behind him.
"Nothing, I was just looking at the ground bridge controls," Anthony answers.
"You're going to head to the training center aren't you? Didn't your mom tell you to stay here?"
"Yes, but my parents aren't back yet. I'm getting worried that's all," Anthony says.
"I understand that you're concerned, but they'll get mad at you won't they,"
"They might, but I'm a teenager Blurr. Teenagers are rebellious," Anthony says with a sly smile.
"How about we go for a drive around town?" I suggest.
"But I don't have a driver's license," Anthony says.
"I'll be doing the driving, what do you say?"
"Okay," Anthony says.
Anthony turns off the ground bridge. I transform and open the driver's side door. Anthony gets in and buckles up. I close the door and drive out.
Antonio's P.O.V:
Optimus gestures to Medic and he drives up to me. Then transforms into bot then kneels down.
"Hello, Antonio. It's nice to meet you and your wife," Medic says.
"The same to you as well Medic. I'm looking forward to working with you,"
Luna barks and everyone covers their ears as it echoes off the walls of the garage. The ambulance 'Bot takes his hands away from his audio receptors. He asks,"Why did your dog do that?"
"Sorry Medic but Luna is a part of this family too, so are we going to use the ground bridge to head back to the firehouse?"
"Yes," Optimus says.
I see Tracy climbs back inside Animal Force to check on the kitten. A few moments later, she comes out holding it in her arms. Animal Force opens up the driver's side door, and Tracy gets in. Medic and Heatwave transform into vehicle mode.
"Boulder, we're ready on our end," Salvage says.
"Us too, you can drive on through everyone," Boulder says.
Animal Force follows behind Heatwave and Medic.
Normal POV
Boulder, Chase, and Blades along with the Burns Family and Anastasia, Tracy and Antonio's eighteen-year-old daughter, watch the others Bots drove up. They wait for their partners to get out before transforming into robot mode.
"Animal Force, Medic, This is Chase, Boulder, and Blades. Our human partners, the Burns Family." Heatwave says.
"Hi," Medic says waving to everyone.
"It's nice to meet all of you. I'm looking forward to working together," Animal Force adds.
"So am I, it's going to be great having two more emergency vehicles on the team," Chief Burns says.
Dani's eye light up when she sees the kitten in Tracy's arms.
"Aw, this little cutie is the kitten Deputy Barney told us about," Dani asks quickly changing the subject.
"Yes, I have another question has anyone seen my son or Blurr? Tracy asks.
"He did leave to get some air when we were about to watch 'Old Yeller" and Blurr did follow him," Blades says.
The group heads outside, as they walk through the doors, everyone sees Blurr pull into the driveway. Antonio sees his wife begin to get angry when she catches a glimpse of their son sitting in the driver's seat.
"Anthony Mindy Garcia, get out here right now, young man," Tracy shouts.
"Mindy, isn't that a girl's name?" Blurr whispers/chuckles.
"Yes, It is, and stop laughing," Anthony whines.
Blurr opens his door, and the thirteen-year-old slowly walks over to his parents.
"What were you thinking young man? You're not old enough to drive yet," Tracy says.
"I'm old enough to take driver's training," Anthony argues.
"We know son, but your mom and I decided that we wanted to wait one more year," Antonio says.
"That's so unfair you let Anastasia take driver's training when she was fourteen," Anthony says.
"True, but she was mature enough to handle the responsibility and the privilege of driving a car," Tracy says.
"Sorry little bro but mom and dad are doing what they think is right," Anastasia says.
"None asked for your opinion," Anthony rebuts.
"Too Bad," Anastasia says sarcastically.
Tracy snaps her fingers. The bots are confused as they watch the dog lie down and cover her ears.
"I'd cover your ears again," Antonio whispers.
"Why," Kade whispers back.
"Just trust me," Antonio answers.
Tracy raises her right hand up to her mouth and puts her thumb and index fingers to her lips. Takes a deep breath and lets out a loud whistle. Anthony and Anastasia shout in pain when they hear it.
"I hate it when you do that," Anthony whines as he puts his hands back down to his sides.
"Me too," Anastasia adds.
"Kids this isn't the time or place for one of your childish arguments," Tracy says.
"Sorry mom," The Garcia kids say.
"Son, hand over your phone and any other technological devices," Tracy says.
"I'm grounded aren't I?" Anthony asks.
"You got it," Tracy says.
"His only punishment is taking away all his technological devices?" Heatwave asks.
"No Earth-based technology or Cybertronian tech either. Plus Anthony is not allowed to leave the house other than to help us with our other daily tasks," Tracy answers.
"Aw, man," Anthony whines.
Quickshadow walks and says,"Pardon my interruption, but might I make a suggestion,"
"Who is she?" Anthony asks.
"This is Quickshadow. She's been helping train Blurr and Salvage," Heatwave explains.
"Maybe, he could stay here and train with Salvage and the other Rescue Bots recruits," Quickshadow suggests.
"Sweet," Anthony cheers.
"Your mother and I haven't agreed to this," Antonio says.
"Good point honey, but it a good experience for him," Tracy says.
"Does that mean I can go to the mainland to stay at the training center?" Anthony asks.
"Anthony, you need to learn how to work together with his sister," Antonio says.
"Sounds like a fine idea to me. The kids do enjoy bickering with one another. Which could cause trouble in the field." Quickshadow agrees.
"An excellent point Quickshadow, so how about they ride along with the rest of the team and me while we patrol the island." Heatwave offers.
"That could work," Tracy says,
"Can I ride with Blurr?" Anthony asks.
"No," The Garcia Parents say.
"I'd love to go too, but I need to head to graduation rehearsal it starts in ten minutes," Anastasia says.
"Quickshadow, would you mind giving Anastasia a ride?" Tracy asks.
"I'd be happy to," Quickshadow says.
"Chase, could you accompany Anthony home," Tracy says.
"Of course," Chase says.
"Can I ride in the driver's seat?" Anthony asks.
"No," Tracy answers.
"Okay," Anthony sighs.
Chase transforms into his vehicle mode. Anthony gets in, and they drive off the Garcia family's house.
Tracy's POV
"I'd like to know why you decided to move here?" Quickshadow asks.
Luna walks over to the group and lies down. Dino puts the kitten down. She climbs onto Luna's back and lays down in between Luna's shoulder blades.
"A month passed since I graduated from Vet school. The only problem was that none of the clinics in Michigan had any open positions. I did a little research and found out that Griffin Rock Vet Clinic needed some new people. I called a family meeting to tell the kids we might be moving,"
"Weren't the kids upset?" Animal Force asks.
"I was, but Anthony didn't understand that moving was the best thing for our family. He wouldn't stop complaining," Anastasia says.
"After waiting for three long days, I finally got the call from the boss welcoming me to the clinic and that he was looking forward to meeting me,"
"When did Luna come into the picture?" Animal Force asks.
"Three weeks after we got settled in."
"Can I tell my part of the story now, mom," Anastasia asks.
"You sure can Ana,"
"I went for I hike up Mount Griffin. I was at the top about to head back down. When I reached the bottom, I heard some rustling in the bushes." Anastasia says.
"What did you do," Medic asks.
"I starting walking back because I was afraid that whatever was in it was going to hurt me." Anastasia answers.
"When did you realize you weren't in any danger?" Heatwave asks.
"After I heard Luna whimpering in pain as she limped out of the bush and collapsed." Anastasia answers.
"You brought Luna to mom, right?" Animal Force asks.
"Yes, but when she got to the clinic it was closed for the day."
"What did you do," Blades asks.
"We took her back home, and I treated her the best I could."
"How bad were her injuries," Animal Force asks.
"A few minor cuts and scrapes, along with a mild case of exhaustion. Luna was smart enough to locate water, so she wasn't dehydrated,"
"The next morning, we took her to the shelter to see if the workers there could find her a forever home. But, she already decided that she wanted our house to be her forever home,"
"So, you rescued Luna. Then she became a trained rescue dog," Graham says.
"Yes. After we had adopted Luna, and she received a full physical exam including all her shots."
"Tracy and I decided that it might be a good idea to train her to be a search and Rescue dog. Just in case anyone got into to trouble, she could get help. I signed her up for a search and rescue training class," Antonio says.
"You forgot honey, we had to go through training as well to become a rescue dog handler,"
"Right, since we'd be helping your rescue team. We needed to focus on a few different, such as First Aid, CPR, Canine First Aid, Lost Person Behavior, Map Reading, Compass Use, as well as Radio Communication." Antonio explains.
I'd like to see how well Luna was trained," Quickshadow says.
"Who is she going to find?" Heatwave asks.
"She could try to find one of us," Blade suggests.
"Sorry, Blades, but Luna's been trained to find people," Antonio says.
"Since, we're machine we don't have a scent for her to track," Boulder adds.
I pick up the kitten off of Luna's back and hands it to Dani. She happily takes it out of my hands.
"Kade, would you like to be a volunteer," Antonio asks.
"Sure," Kade answers.
Luna walks over to him. Kade bends down and lets her sniff his hand. A few seconds later she barks twice then sits down.
"That means she has his scent right?" Heatwave asks.
I nod then snaps my fingers twice, and Luna lies down and covers her eyes with her paws.
"Okay, Kade you can go hide now,"
Kade nods and leaves the group. Five minutes later we hear the comm link beep.
"Okay, Luna, encontrar, find,"
Luna uncovers her eyes, stand up and starts sniff around. She walks back into the firehouse. We follow her. She stops at the platform leading to the bunker.
"Do you think Kade is hiding down there," Cody asks.
"How did he get down there without Luna hearing him," Animal Force asks.
"He used the fire pole." Cody answers.
The bots and Luna go over to the lift. They ride it down to the bunker while we use the fire pole. We keep following Luna, and she stops in front of the control panel for the lift. She walks behind it and pulls Kade out by the cuff of his pants. I walk over to Luna and Kade. I help him up, and we walk back over to the others. I take a treat out of my pocket and give it to Luna.
"Good job girl," I say.
"Impressive," Quickshadow says.
"Thanks,"
"How about we go on patrol," Heatwave suggests.
