Ooo chapter 2! Yay! Haha hope you guys enjoy…I don't own any of the transformers just my OCs. Read and Review. Oh and one more thing, Shift is 21 years old in human years. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Chapter 2- New Life=Awesome!

Shift's POV

Well, here I am, almost to Earth. I can feel the planet's gravity pulling in so I set a course for somewhere in the United States. On the way to Earth I had a run in with a few Decepticons and I'm pretty damaged, so I'm hoping that I can find the Autobots fast so that Ratchet can repair me. But, something goes terribly wrong as I try to transform into my jet mode. I get a warning saying that my transformation sequence can not be activated, so I brace myself for a crash landing.

Warning lights are going off as I approach the ground. I crash into the ground with dirt and grass flying all around me. I stand up and check my surroundings. I check, what the humans call the "Internet", to see where I've landed.

"Looks like some place call Alabama." I say out loud.

I was pretty damaged and couldn't transform into anything, so only thing I could do was blend in with the humans. And the only way to do that was be one, and that's just what I did. I had to start my life over, but it was a risk worth taking since I probably won't find the Autobots around here. But, the only problem was, I needed somewhere to live, so I needed to come up with a human name and a fake story about where I was born and stuff like that.

So, I named myself Megan Riches. I was born in Alabama on May 15th, 1989, with no parents. I have dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. My fake life story was that when I was 15 and I lost some of my memory during a horrible accident and can't remember anything from my past. But, I did know everything from my past; I just didn't want people asking me about my past, because then we would have a problem.

But, now I need a house and a car, so that meant getting a job. Getting a job would be hard, since I'm considered only to be 21 and hadn't gone through school or college. The only job I could think of doing was doing something with planes. So, I looked up the nearest airport and started to walk there. The distance was only about 5 miles away from where I had crashed so it wouldn't take me long.

But, this airport wasn't just any airport; it was a U.S. Air Force base. My favorite thing to do was fly, so why not fly, what the humans call, jets. I mean they sounded pretty fast and that was my second favorite thing to do, flying fast. I walked up to what looked to be the entrance, and that's when someone stopped me and asked me what I was doing here.

"Hi, I'm here to enlist in the Air Force." I said with a smile on my face.

"Name?"

"Megan Riches."

"Age?"

"21."

"Birth date."

"May 15th, 1989."

"Well, it looks like you're old enough to be a recruit, but what about school?"

"Well, um, when I was 15 my parents were killed during an accident, so I dropped out of high school, because I couldn't afford it anymore. So I guess that means I didn't graduate or anything. But I do know a lot about planes and how to fly them. I can show you if you want because I really need a job." I said with a pleading look in my eyes.

"No, no, no, you won't have to show me anything, all you have to do is take a test, and go through some training. I'll contact the commanding officer and let him know that we have a new recruit. Congratulations, Ms. Riches, and welcome to the Air Force." He said as I shook his hand and thanked him.

I didn't have any clothes or anything so I pretty much just had to walk in and report to my barracks, I guess. As I walked into the barracks, there were two other girls in there. One with blonde hair, and the other with brown hair.

"Hi, my names Caitlin. Are you a new recruit?" The one with brown hair, now called Caitlin asked me.

"Hi, um, yeah I'm the new recruit. My names, Megan." I said shyly.

"No need to be shy, Megan. Hi, my names, Tabitha." The one with blonde hair said.

Just as I was about to say something, the door to our barracks came flying open.

"Is there a Ms. Riches here?" The man asked.

"Yes, I'm right here, sir."

"Ah, hello Ms. Riches, will you please follow me. You're going to show us what you got flying jets."

I followed the man outside where I could see a jet parked out on the runway. I looked the plane up and it looks to be an F-22 Raptor. It looked pretty fast and the internet says it's a stealth plane. I looked up what stealth was and it said that it was a type of material that could make something undetectable by radar.

'Awesome.' I thought.

"Now, are you sure you know how to fly one of these things?" The man asked pointing to the plane.

"Yes, sir, I can fly pretty much any plane out there."

"Alright then, get into your flight suit and hope into the plane.

I did as I was told and put on the flight suit. I ran out onto the runway and walked up to the jet.

"Now, one more thing before you take off, every pilot needs a codename. We like for our pilots to have one because it keeps their identity safe while flying in case an enemy would happen to hack into your COM links."

"Um, how about Shift?"

"Shift, nice choice. Well Shift, show us what you got."

"Yes, sir!" I said as I hopped into my plane.

"Now, what you need to do once you hit the runway is ask the flight tower for permission to take off, is that clear?"

"Yes, sir."

I got onto the runway and looked through the planes manual. I found the right thing to ask flight control permission for take off, so I spoke into my COM.

"Flight control, this is pilot Megan Riches, codename Shift. Permission for take off?"

"Permission granted, Shift."

I fired up the engines and took to the skies. I leveled off and waited for my orders.

"Ahh, I see that you've taken off, Shift. Now, I won't give you any specific flight instructions, I just want to see what you can do."

I did as I was told and did a few barrel rolls and stalls. I did one of my most famous moves; I pushed the throttle forward and then pulled it back and pulled backwards on the flight stick. This causes my plane to do a sharp flip backwards, and as I start to stall, I level out and throttled back up.

I do a few more tricks until I'm told to come back down and land. I lower my landing gear and throttle down to a slower speed. I come just right above the runway and I can feel my wheels touch the ground. I slow down until I come to stop by the hangers.

"You did very well, Megan, I'm impressed. And since it looks like you know what you're doing, I am very happy to welcome you to the Air Force, Lieutenant Riches." He says and salutes me as I walk down the ladder from my plane.

I salute him back and thank him as I walk back to my barracks. The girl's come at me with all these questions like, 'What happened?', 'How did it go?', and all I say is that I'm now apart of the Air Force. They scream and tackle me to the ground, congratulating me for my success.

Soon after that, we all get inside our beds and get some sleep. I lay there looking up at the ceiling wondering what Ironhide was doing. I smiled at the thought of seeing him again as I drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Well there you have it. Chapter 3 is done and over with. Yay! I hope I can get some more reviews, PLEASE!, but thank you xxIronhideForeverxx for reviewing:) Haha bye!
