Chapter Two

She was surprisingly beautiful. The teal blue eyes staring back shocked at how good she looked. The short skin tight black skirt made her butt look round and huge. The tight red button up made her chest look larger and she purposely left the top four buttons undone And for the first time in her life, she was wearing make-up and contacts.

Shadow couldn't believe her reflection. Her sister, Clarity, had helped her with everything, even her hair. Which was clipped up off her shoulders and curled. Shadow had never dressed to impress but she wanted to impress Ratchet. And tease the hell out of him.

"So when did my baby sister get caught by cupid?" Clarity leaned against Shadow's bedroom doorframe. She was enjoying the fact that her sis liked someone, specifically an alien medic.

"Awhile, but," Shadow turned around, surprised she was able to walk in the candy red heels, "doesn't it bother you that he's a robot?"

"Not really, no. I figured you would fall for a strange guy. And a robot just seems to fit. Including the doc bit," Clarity answered with a shrug. Shadow sighed as she looked back at the mirror. She doubted the guard at the gate for the base would let her pass. She definitely didn't look the same.

"Shadow."

"What?" she looked at Clarity as she quickly took a picture of Shadow with her phone.

"I'll send this to Ava. She can let the guard know what you look like now. And be sure to email me with the juicy stuff since you're heading to Diego Garcia. Also, I have packed some of your stuff with tempting clothes," Clarity explained as she hit a few buttons on her phone. Clarity flipped it shut while Shadow just stared at her.

"Well, get going before I lock you in.'

Shadwo shook her head as she walked out of the room with her - god forbid she ever carries on again - purse. She made sure to check it for her badge and sighed. She prayed the guard would let her in.

~wwwwwwwwww~

Her little dinky car sat outside the gates, the sun glittering off the peeling paint. The guard kept looking at her badge before looking at her, comparing it. He recognized the car, but not the person. Prime must have kept Ava from telling the guard.

"I'll make a call," the guard picked up the phone, dialing a number. Shadow's head hit her head rest, not in the mood to deal with this...crap as she would say.

"Tell me what she looks like."

Shadow sighed as she waited, the guard staring at her for a minute. He smiled after a moment before giving her a wink and pressing the switch for the gate. Shadow grimaced, realizing why she never dressed the way she did. But if it got Ratchet's attention, then so be it.

Shadow drove toward the large hanger and parking next to the other vehicles that would be left behind. She hated flying but it was necessary to reach the isolated island. Still, it scared the crap out of her.

"Nice ass Shadow."

Her shoulders drooped a little as she looked over them, spotting Major Lennox and Epps staring at her rear end with tilted heads. She sighed as she opened her trunk, glad her sister only packed a single suitcase and not a million bags like Maggie Madsen did.

"Shut up!" Shadow yelled when someone complimented her chest before slamming her trunk shut. Her heels clicked on the cement of the hanger and she beelined straight toward Optimus Prime. Ratchet was speaking with him, waiting for transport which would be in a few moments.

"Optimus, can I ask you a favor?" she looked up at the bot. Ratchet glanced down at the little human before having to do a double take. His optics widen - if possible - as they fluttered in the form of several blinks. She heard his vents switch on and had to hold in the laugh that threatened to bubble out.

"What can I do for you Shadow?"

"Can I travel on your fellow Autobots plane? Several of the soldiers are making me extremely uncomfortable," she told him honestly. She spotted Ava on Prime's shoulder, whispering something to him. Prime chuckled and nodded at whatever Ava told him before giving his answer.

"Alright. Travel with Ratchet since you are afraid of flying."

"Prime!" Ratchet finally found his voice as he shook his head, saying no. Shadow realized that she would have to take drastic measures to travel with Ratchet. So, she thought of something sad and stared up at the medic with a very teary expression.

"So you really do hate me," she sniffled. She dropped her bag and covered her face, pretending to cry. Ava quickly whispered to Prime to keep him from panicing but poor Ratchet didn't realize it was a trick.

"Shadow, I don't hate you...you see...I actually...I...Oh alright. You can travel with me. Just quit leaking," Ratchet had a Prime moment as he surrounded his hands around her. Shadow pretend to wipe tears away as she smiled up at him.

"Thank you!" she giggled when he sighed. Ratchet focused on her for a moment, realizing his position gave him a perfect view down her shirt. He couldn't help but gaze at the opening, staring at the soft mounds that beckoned to him.

"Ratchet, are you staring at my chest?"

"I thought I saw something that needed medical attention. I was wrong," Ratchet had his answer already processed as he tore his gaze away. But it didn't satisfy the others around, especially the ones who knew the truth about his feelings.

"Whatever," Shadow picked up her bag before walking past him to the plane, whispering quietly, "Liar."
