I know Jetfire and Jetstorm are not in Transformers prime. But they should be. Cadence is my own character, who is basically me. Her name means rhythm (I think). I only choose it because it sounded cool and it was the only vocab word my teacher assigned that I can spell.

For about five minutes Cadence sat in the car in silence. She was thinking about how much trouble she would be in for this. The car seemed to be going to the middle of nowhere. They were coming up on a stretch of rocky cliffs. Actually, the car was heading straight for them, fast. Cadence closed her eyes and kept them closed until the car stopped. She slowly opened them and looked out the tinted windows.

She was in a lab or something like that. Huge computer and high-tech tools that she probably shouldn't touch. The car door opened and Cadence climbed out.

She heard a noise behind her. Like feet hitting concrete. She turned around and saw three kids standing together. Jack was one of them. There a girl who was in one of her classes, and a younger boy.

"Uh, sorry to scare you. I'm Miko; this is Jack, and Rafael."

Cadence wasn't expecting this. She thought the only people would be government agents or men in lab coats. "Uh, hi. I'm…"

"Cadence. We know." Jack looked nervously at the other two. "Cadence, you have been, researching something, right? After school, on your own time?"

Cadence's hand went protectively to her backpack. "Yea. Why?"

Miko stepped forward looking almost bored. "Relax. So, what do you think you have seen?" Cadence just shrugged. Miko sighed loudly. "If you saw something huge and almost unbelievable, would you scream?" Jack punched Miko in the arm and whispered something to her.

Cadence was feeling a little more confident now, and offended, they thought she was scared. "No. I would believe anything I saw. The stranger the better. So what are they?" The three kids kept whispering to themselves. Cadence was getting impatient. "Hey. I asked you a question. You have to give me answers. You brought me here!"

The small one, Rafael, spoke up. "Actually, we didn't bring you here. Smokescreen did; under Optimus's orders. We are just here to try and explain this to you without frightening you."

"Okay, then explain!"

Miko smiled. "I like her! Okay, you were onto something. And you were getting close. To close. So we had to tell you, before you told everyone and blew our cover. Hardly any humans know. I will explain slowly. Don't freak. First, the car that picked you up." She pointed to the white car.

Miko sighed loudly again. "His name is Smokescreen." Smokescreen transformed to robot mode trying not to laugh at how formal this was. Cadence gasped. Everyone looked at her nervously, afraid she would run screaming.

Cadence's eyes got big. "Cool! He… He's a robot! That is so epic!" Everyone relaxed.

Jack came up and stood beside Cadence. "It gets better." Five more cars rolled up. And two jets. They each transformed to robot mode as Jack said their name. "This is Arcee, my protector/partner. Bumblebee, Raffs protector/partner. Bulkhead, Miko's protector…"

"Hey!" Miko stomped her right foot on the ground.

Jack laughed. "Ratchet, the Medibot. Jetfire and Jetstorm. And Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader."

Optimus leaned over so his head was just above Cadence. "It is nice to finally meet you Cadence. We have been watching you as much as you have been watching us. And, now that you know, we would like to make you a part of this team. Just like Jack, Miko, and Rafael. I can give you some time to think abou…"

"Yes! Yes! Of course! This is so awesome!"

Optimus smiled. "Well, good. I will let Miko explain things in greater detail. But, first, like these three, you will have an Autobot protector. It took a little while to decide who would be best for you. But I have chosen Jetfire and Jetstorm."

The twin Autobots looked as surprised as Cadence.

"Wait… us? But… We are knowing nothing of humans!"

"I have made my decision. It will be good for you."

"But."

Cadence walked up to them. "Hi. So…"

"Optimus! Please. Assign her to Smokescreen!"

Optimus just left the room without a word. "Do you guys not like me?"

"It is not that. We are knowing nothing about humans at all. We are supposed to protect you at all costs. We are just not the ones for the job."

"Yea well I know nothing about you. But I'm okay with being your partner!"

Arcee cut in. "Well, then it sees we have a bit to learn. How about Jack, Miko, and Bulkhead take Cadence and explain to her about Autobots and everything that has happened. And B, Raff, and I will take Jetfire and Jetstorm and explain to them about humans and human 'bot teams."

No one argued. Just followed Arcees orders.

Everyone was quiet and just let Miko do the explaining. She excitedly went on about the Autobot Decepticon battles and practically everything that happened since the Autobots arrived on earth. When Jack took over, Miko was panting.

"The most important thing to explain to you is an Autobot human relationship. Just like me and Arcee, Miko and Bulkhead, or Rafael and Bee. You and the Jet twins are an inseparable bond. We would do anything to protect each other. Arcee is my best friend. But, at first, we didn't get along all that well either. The Autobots pick us up from school and take us here where we can help out around the base or out in the field. Or we just hang out with our partners."

"Only problem, the orange and blue bots are jerks. I really have to do stuff with them?"

Jack sighed. "They really are nice. Optimus must have chosen them for a reason. Just keep an open mind."

Arcee explained the basics of humans. "Believe it or not, Autobots rely on humans. Many times, humans have saved our lives. If it wasn't for Jack, I wouldn't be here. And believe it or not, you guys will like Cadence. Trust me on that, jack is like family to me. Just do what you can to keep her safe. Learn from her. Find out what she likes. And try to like her. And we will help you whenever possible."

"But she is so rude and annoying!"

Bumblebee said something and Raff began to laugh.

The other group came out. Miko and Cadence were talking about their favorite Slash Monkey songs.

Arcee shoved the twins forward. "It's getting late, how about you two take her home?"

"What?" Cadence looked at Arcee, stunned.

The twins looked at her to. "No! Uh, we can pick her up tomorrow. Maybe"

"What, afraid to drive in the desert? Don't want to get your tires dirty?"

"Actually, our vehicle modes are jets. Hence JETfire and JETstorm."

"Oh, jets. Like the Decepticons?"

Jetfire stepped forward and raised his gunned hand. "Do not say that!"

"What? That you two are actually Decepticons? Autobots aren't jets."

"Girl, you are so out of line. We could kill you right now, but we aren't."

"But you want to. Like… a… Decepticon!"

"That is it!" Jetfire lurched forward.

Arcee stepped in and grabbed Jetfire by the back of the neck and picked Cadence up. "You three need to relax! What the scrap is wrong with you?"

Cadence struggled to get down. "They started it!"

Arcee set Cadence down. "Bulkhead, take the kid home. You two, come with me!'

Bulkhead transformed to vehicle mode and Cadence climbed in.

Both of them where quiet for half the ride.

"I'm sorry. I got really mad for no reason. I was just, scared. Can I have another chance? With new partners? I really like it here. You guys are so cool."

Bulkhead laughed. "Cadence, they were probably just as scared as you were. I haven't known them for very long, but they are really nice. Just give them another chance. They just arrived on earth eight days ago. So their both pretty terrified. But there is nothing to be afraid of. For any of you. And Cadence, don't mention the jet Decepticon thing. They are very sensitive about that. Don't call them Decepticons. Okay?"

"Whatever."

They pulled up to Cadences house. "Here you go. How about someone will pick you up at ten o' clock in the morning?"

Cadence jumped out. "Better make that ten thirty. That's when my mom leaves for work. She works eleven to eleven." She shut the door. "Bye Bulkhead."

"Yea. Bye Cadence. And, think about what I said."

She closed the door. Pretending not to hear the last part of what he said.

"That kid is as stubborn as the twins No wonder Optimus chose them for her." He drove of laughing.
