Okay, this came out a bit earlier then expected but oh well. I can tell y'all right now, this week wasn't such a good week for me, and I guess putting up this new chapter made me a bit happier.
So I was already tired and grumpy as slag at the beginning of this week, THEN on Thursday, I was out until 11:30 p.m. because band had to play at a stupid away game. Then the teacher expected us to come to school on Friday. He was being a real slagger durin' practice on Friday too, so that didn't make things any better. Then on Saturday, I got into a car accident... We were headin' to this Haunted Corn Maze since it was my only Saturday off for the rest of this month, when this (drugged and drunk) lady ran a red light and slammed into us... We didn't get to make it to the corn maze. But the main thing is that everyone is okay now. Everyone including, me, my mom, my dad, my sis, my sis's best friend, and my best friend. Yeah, all those people were in our truck. I'm just glad none of us got hurt, except for our feelings.
But anywhos, putting this chapter up made my day a bit better.
So, I found out that in the toy-line of Transformers, Elita-One is one of the motorcycles. But she was suppose to be called Flareup in the movie. Sooo, now I really don't know who the 3rd Arcee sister is...I just hope I don't have to mention them a lot during my story. ^^;
But 'Bee appears in this chapter! And Julia and good ol' 'Hide get to chat.
A BIG thanks to all those who reviewed, faved, alerted, and etc! You guys are the best! ^^
I don't own Transformers, only Julia and some plots.
"Hey, 'Hide?" I decided to break the silence.
"What did I tell your father?" I could hear the engine give off a groaning noise.
"Oh, sorry. Ironhide." I corrected myself.
"Yes?"
"Being part Cybertronian, do I have any special abilities or something?" This was really a question I should be asking Ratchet, but what the heck, I'll just see what Ironhide has to say.
"Special abilities? I don't know, you tell me."
I sighed. "Is there anything you know about me Cybertronian?"
"Yes, in fact, I do." I could hear mock in his tone, as if he was trying to prove that he wasn't 'stupid'.
"Well?" I waited for him tell me what he knows.
"Well," He mocked me again. "I do know that you can't age. Appearance-wise."
"…If I couldn't age appearance-wise, how come I still don't look like a fraggin' baby?" Now I was really wondering if Ironhide knew anything.
"You didn't let me finish." He growled. "Your appearance won't change anymore once you hit the age of 20 human years."
"So…whatever I look like when I'm 20, that's what I'll look like until I die?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Exactly. But that's another thing, you can't die. At least of old age."
"So what you're telling me is…I can live up to 157 years old and I won't die?"
"Nope. You can't die of old age. You can die by some tragic accident though." He added in as we stopped at a stop light.
"Like a car crash kind of accident?" I stared at the red light.
"Car crash? What kind of vehicle will you be getting into besides me or any of the other Autobots?" Ironhide questioned as the light changed to green.
"Good point. But let's just say that I wasn't with one of you guys."
"Then no. Your body is more durable than that."
"Then what kind of accident?" I couldn't help but fold my arms and raise an eyebrow.
"Like to say…if someone were to blast you multiple times with a high calibrated cannon or two."
"Ironhide…" I growled. Was he thinking of blasting me or what?
"What? It's not like I was going to shoot you with my cannons."
"Oh? Then what did you mean?" I raised an eyebrow again, not sure if Ironhide could see me or not.
"I meant that it could happen. It's a possibility…" He sort of mumbled the last part. "But what I'm really saying is that that's just one of the possible ways of you being permanently put offline." And by that, he meant being killed.
"One? So there's more?"
"That's something you can ask Ratchet, I'm not sure how a Techno-Organic can be killed."
"Geez Ironhide, thanks so much for the information." I rolled my eyes and leaned back into the leather seat.
"I'm a weapon-specialist for Primus's sake, not some Know-It-All 'Bot." He grunted. This was a common thing for the both of us. We'd bicker a lot about something small, teasing one another in the process. Ironhide was like the older brother I never had. Even if he was a big alien robot that easily crush you in one swift move. But hey, I wasn't complaining.
After a few minutes of driving, we had pulled up behind Sam's house. I jumped out of Ironhide and closed his door behind me.
"Alright, I'll go tell Sam and 'Bee about the warehouse, don't go anywhere." I said as I prepared to jump Sam's fence.
"Got it. Just hurry up, I think this stuff is starting to attach itself to my armor…" Ironhide grumbled. I only rolled my eyes and hopped over the fence.
"OH MY- WHAT THE HECK 'BEE?!" Looks like Sam found 'Bee. I could only chuckle to myself before walking over to the garage. There, I found a very unimpressed Sam facing a now, very dirty Bumblebee. Sam's back was facing in my direction. "HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN!?"
[Well hello there little lady!]
The radio burst to life. Sam was still unimpressed.
"Little lady? Oh, now you're making fun of me?" Sam grumbled as he folded his arms.
"Looks like someone fell off the wrong side of the bed this morning." I laughed as Sam turned around with a panicked look on his face. Once he saw it was only me, he sighed heavily and placed a hand on his chest.
"Julie, oh man, it's just you." He said in relief.
"You know it." I smiled. I leaned over to the side, so I could see pass Sam. "Good mornin', Bumblebee." I smiled and waved at the dirty car sitting behind Sam.
[Gooooood morning!]
The blasting radio broadcast made me chuckle.
"Julie, can you believe this?! Look at him!" Sam just blurted out as I continued to wave at the Camaro.
"I've been looking at him Sam."
"I mean, don't you see the MUD?!"
"I do. That's part of the reason why I'm here." I claimed as I stood straight again.
"What? Do you know what happened?" He gave me a weird look.
"Yeah. Long story short. My dad and Epps took the Autobots for a little joy ride last night."
"…" Sam just stood there for a while with a blank look on his face. " …I'm going back to bed…" He moaned as he rubbed the back of his head and lazily walked out of the garage. "I trust you'll take care of it Julie…"
"Love you too Sam." I rolled my eyes. "Geez, back then I cleaned his room, now I'm cleaning his car." I sighed before looking over at Bumblebee. "Okay 'Bee, I'm gonna get you and the other guys all cleaned up, 'kay? Just follow Ironhide." I said as I started to walk out. Then I heard 'Bee's engine come to life and then I felt something nudge the back of my leg. "What's up 'Bee?" I asked as 'Bee's bumper nudged my leg. Then his passenger popped open.
[Hop in.]
"Well…" I thought about it. "Okay, just tell 'Hide that I'll be with you and we'll be behind him." I smiled as I got into the passenger's side and closed the door.
[Bumblebee to Ironhide. Come in Ironhide.] Bumblebee was already contacting Ironhide through his COM link.
[This is Ironhide. What's up?] Ironhide answered in his gruff tone.
[Julie is with me. And we'll be following you, so lead the way!] Bumblebee called in a cheery voice.
[You sound rather happy. Any special reasons, kid?] Ironhide questioned the young Autobot.
[No reasons, so c'mon Old-Bot! Let's get movin'!] Bumblebee hollered over his COM link as Ironhide only grumbled on the other end. The sound of Ironhide's engine roared as Bumblebee drove out of Sam's backyard and followed the Topkick.
"So, how have you been lately 'Bee?" I decided to talk to 'Bee, since I haven't seen him in 4 days. Which was a pretty long time seeing as I visited him every other day.
[Pretty darn good, as a matter of fact!]
I laughed. If there was anything that could make me laugh so much, it was probably Bumblebee's choice in words. Radio words that is.
"How 'bout your voice?" I was still concerned about his voice as well, even if his radio broadcasts made me laugh.
"It's …doing better." This time he used his normal voice. There was still a bit of static in his tone.
"That's good, I'm sure your voice will be better soon big guy." I patted his dash board with a smile. I heard his engine give off a purring sound. Then I heard the radio switch between stations before landing on one and a tune erupting from the speakers.
Tell everybody I'm on my way.
New Friends and new places to see.
With blue skies ahead,
Yes I'm on my way,
And there's no where else that I'd rather be.
Tell everybody I'm on my way.
And I'm lovin' every step I take.
With the sun beating down, yes I'm on my way.
And I can't keep this smile off my face.
'Cause there's nothin' like seein', each other again.
No matter what the distance between.
And the stories that we tell will make you smile.
Oh, it really lifts my heart.
So tell 'em all I'm on my way.
New friends and new places to see.
And to sleep under the stars, who could ask for more?
With the moon keeping watch over me.
Not the snow and not the rain, can change my mind.
The sun will come out, wait and see.
And the feeling of the wind in your face, can lift your heart.
Oh, there's no where I'd rather be.
'Cause I'm on my way now.
Well and truly.
And I'm on my way now.
I'm on my way now…
I'm on my way now…
I'm on my way now…
Tell everybody I'm on my way.
(I'm on my way!)
And I just can't wait to be there.
(Just can't wait to be there!)
With blue skies a head, yes I'm on my way.
And nothing but good times to share.
So tell everybody I'm on my way.
(I'm on my way!)
And I just can't wait to be home.
(Just can't wait to be home!)
With the sun beating down,
Yes I'm on my way.
And nothing but good times to show,
I'm on my way.
Yes I'm on my way.
I couldn't help but smile and tap my foot against the floor board. I was a huge sucker for Disney songs, especially if it was sung by Phil Collins. 'Bee knew that this was one of my favorite songs, since one day I decided to tell him a list of my favorites. Listening to the song, I never noticed that we were already at the warehouse by the time the song ended. The warehouse was located in the middle of a secluded forest type of area. Bumblebee followed Ironhide to the back of the building, where a big garage area was located. All the Autobots were in their vehicle form as they were waiting in the building. Ironhide and Bumblebee drove up. I climbed out of Bumblebee as I took a good look at the Autobots.
"Wow… I've got a lot of work to do." I sighed before I opened up Ironhide's tailgate and took all the cleaning supplies out.
Song that 'Bee played: I'm On My Way by Phil Collins
I couldn't help myself, it's such an awesome traveling song.
Is it no surprise that Ironhide hasn't caught on to why 'Bee is happy?
Thanks for reading!
