ceastical: Geez, sorry for the really long wait on this chapter, especially considering how short it is. But I kept being either too busy or lazy to get this thing edited. Until now! :D That said, enjoy the story!

DISCLAIMER: Neither I nor Autobot Girl own Transformers. She does own the character Kristelle, and also some other characters and elements that will appear later on.

~Kristelle's POV~

I let out a yawn. "Do you want to stay at a hotel?" Optimus asked. I shook my head.

"No, I'll be fine," I said.

"Are you sure?"

"I am positive." I leaned my head against the seat and closed my eyes.

I was running in a desert and I could see the Egyptian pyramids in front of me. I tripped and fell into a hole. It was completely black except for two red optics.

"The Fallen shall rise again," said I very familiar voice. I shivered.

"Kristelle!"

I felt someone shake my shoulder. I opened my eyes.

"We're here," Optimus said. I got out and watched in awe as Optimus and Jazz transformed. My heart was pounding in my chest.

"Okay, that is so way cooler in real life," I said, still in awe.

Optimus chuckled. "Come, it's time for you to meet the others," he said.

I turned and faced the base. The entrance looked like a giant garage door. Optimus typed a code into the keypad on the side, and then the garage-like door opened. We walked into a giant living room, and in it were the rest of the Autobots and the team that helped them during the Mission City battle. Primus! I thought.

"Jazz, you are in so much trouble!" I heard Ratchet say. Then I saw something fly through the air, and soon after I heard a loud clank followed by a giant wrench falling to the ground.

"Ow! Hey!" yelled Jazz.

"So that's why you're called Hatchet…" I heard myself say. Ironhide charged his cannons and pointed them at me.

"And who are you?!" his voice boomed.

"Whoa," I said.

"Easy, Ironhide. She is a friend. Autobots Major Lennox's Team, I would like you to meet Kristelle."

Oh crap, why do I have to be the center of attention? I thought while I felt my cheeks grow warm. "Hi," I said shyly.

"Not to be rude or anything, but what is so special about you?" I heard Robert Epps say.

"Other than this," I held up the mini matrix, "nothing really."

Ratchet leaned down. "What is it?" he asked.

"Wait, you don't know what it is?" I said confused.

"No, do you?" Ratchet asked.

"Yeah, it's a mini version of the Matrix from the G1 series," I said.

Ratchet gave Optimus a puzzled look, but it was Jazz who said something. "Okay, I just did some research on the web, and in 1984 there was a cartoon released called 'Transformers'."

"Yeah!" I said. "My mom grew up with that show, but she didn't really watch it. And they didn't stop at G1 either; they made a version called Beast Wars, then Cybertron, Energon, and Armada. The newest one is called Transformers Animated."

"What? How could we not have heard about this?!" exclaimed Ironhide.

I shrugged. "I have no idea, especially with the '07 movie being a big hit." Lennox and his team gave me weird looks. I shrugged again. "What? I'm a transfan."

"Okay, what I want to know is how you got that," Ratchet said, pointing to the mini matrix.

"Primus gave it to me," I said. For a moment there was silence. Ratchet shook his head.

"I am not sure I believe this," he said.

"I don't either. I think she is a Decepticon spy," Ironhide's voice boomed, and he pointed his cannons at me again. I took a step back, and my hand immediately went to my necklace. Then it began to glow the same way it did when I was kidnapped by Barricade. Then I heard Primus' voice:

"Do not harm the girl, for I have sent her to you for your protection."

"Protection from what?" Ironhide asked.

"You will know when she remembers her past." Then the glowing disappeared.

"Okay, who do you have to protect us from?" Ironhide asked.

"Ironhide, be patient. Remember, Primus said she has to remember her past," Optimus said.

"You really think that was Primus?" Ratchet asked.

"I know it was Primus," Optimus said.

"Well I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I have to get home," Lennox said.

"Alright, I'll give you a ride," Ironhide said.

Soon after Lennox had left, the rest of the team had to go as well, and I was the only human left.

"So where am I going to be staying?" I asked.

ceastical: I was sort of rushing through the second half of this (so that I could get it posted and AG would stop nagging me D:), so I apologize for any careless mistakes I may have made.
