Jack and Raf had long gone home. A football, soccer, and half a baseball game with Smokescreen, Bee, and Arcee later, my watch read two AM and I had gotten little to none of my homework done.

That really didn't make much of a difference to me. I had the chance to hang out with the coolest guardian in the world, along with his really cool teammates, and cheer on my favorite teams all in one night. I even got Smokescreen into football! The glory of being right about Autobots being totally sports fans internally was worth basking in for a little bit and that's what I did about three hours before until now. Knowing me, I probably wouldn't let it go for the next-forever.

I have to say, it was quite amusing to watch the games with the Autobots. Especially with the diversity that came with watching with three bots that were so different personality-wise. What surprised me the most was the fact that Arcee cringed at some of the hard hits in the Dallas Cowboys game, and everyone knows that she's super hardcore.

Bumblebee mentioned that he really wanted to try baseball. accept Cybertronian-style! I told him to count me in until he explained that they would be using a ball similar to one used for lobbing and that if I wanted to get squished by either a ped or the ball, I could be his guest.

Needless to say, I chose to just play regular baseball and live. Didn't need to make that homerun to heaven just yet.

Explaining the actual rules of the games to them was also a very fun task. One way that was way more fun than doing Calculus or that overdue book report.

Smokescreen was really invested in the football game and really loved to get on the referees a lot. It was actually quite entertaining to see them get so competitive over the controversial calls and bad sportsmanship, which was funny because from what I understood, the Decepticons played so unfairly all the time.

Needless to say, I spent a three quarters of the game belly laughing at how competitive those three were getting. The other quarter was used to explain the game and why the referee's job was so hard.

Even Optimus came and observed the game for a little bit. He asked many questions but I was way more than happy to answer them. Again, here I was not noticing how curious the Prime could get when he wanted to. Man, we totally needed to hang out sometime. He was such a cool bot-

Oh, and Ratchet had to tell us to be quiet about every five minutes. Especially when Dallas scored. Who knew they could cheer like that?! The Doc kept telling us to stop being so obnoxious as we celebrated with some touchdown dances I taught them on the fly. Each time his request became more demanding until finally Optimus ordered us to be more quiet, but not too quiet. He was an advocate for team bonding, after all.

Eventually, Optimus ordered all of us to go power down in the middle of the baseball game. After some protests from the bots and some sad whines that sounded as if we were kindergarteners who were just denied the right to go outside. The Prime was unmoved but did crack a bit of a grin at his team. I packed my stuff into my backpack after the Bots and I reluctantly agreed and waltzed towards the quarters I was given after saying goodnight to the others.

"Smokescreen, please stay for a moment. I wish to speak with you." Optimus called after my guardian as we began to make our way towards Smoke's room, where our quarters were located. I looked back at my Autobot guardian and smiled a toothy grin at him which was returned by him before he meandered towards Optimus.

"Good night Smokescreen. Thank you for being the best guardian ever."

He beamed brighter than ever, nearly blinding me. "Night Cam. Thanks for being the best human girl ever."

A little flicker of happiness, that set my heart into a little bit more of a rapid motion, shot through my body as I turned and made my way to the rugged room set aside for me.

It wasn't exactly set aside for me. In fact, the Autobots were basically unprepared for me to come and stay here and honestly It wasn't their fault. But, that was why it was so makeshift.

It was pretty easy to be sure the Autobots weren't ready to be seen by a human, teenage athlete, who's grades were slipping, and had been expected to serve a week's worth of detention for breaking one of the school's back windows with a soccer ball. Then, suddenly that said human's house was crushed by a Decepticon miner during a skirmish, and both that said person's parents were put into the hospital from such related accident. Then, after that hot-treaded teenager was rendered helpless and forced onto her knees by circumstances and the light at the end of tunnel was completely eclipsed, she was approached by an agent instructing her that he was from some military organization. Suddenly, instead of being taken to some shelter or random host parents' house, she ended up in the middle of the desert surrounded by a bunch of transforming, talking robots.

Little did I know that Agent Fowler's idea of it being best that I came to the Autobot base was truly one of the best things that had ever happened to me. I owed my life to Jack's mom and Agent Fowler. What they had done for me behind the scenes was a level of kindness that I couldn't even comprehend.

The levels of compassion, kindness, love, and care in the last month had been off the charts, especially from Smokescreen. Honestly I don't know if I could've made it without him and the Autobots. Don't want to think about the true outcome without them. Can't think about it really.

I never wanted to think about a world without the Autobots in it. Never wanted to imagine a world without Smokescreen.
