Author's note ( short story):

Dr. Brinclhof " Welcome to sea base Aurora Borealis. I am Dr. Brinclhof and I shall be your guide during your stay." He said as I climbed out of the hatch of Subconscious.

Orion " Thanks, Doc. I am Orion, and this is my friend Subconscious." I said shaking his hand.

Dr. Brinclhof " It nice to meet you both." He said. " Now if you will follow me I will show you around." He led me out the door and into the large city.

Bulkhead road:

Orion " This place is enormous." I stated. " If we had city's like this one, it would take up the entire space of New York with room to spare. How did you guys build this place?" I asked

Dr. Brinclhof " Careful planning, and years of hard work." He replied

" Attention, Attention. A call coming in for a Mr. Orion Startraveller from a miss AlloraStar217, Deep thought, and Cliffhanger from the surface." Came a loud voice from a speaker system.

Orion " Allora? Allora's calling me? I haven't heard from her in weeks. Ya who." I yelled as I ran towards the nearest com unit.

Orion " Allora is that you." I asked as I looked at the face that popped onto the screen.

" Allora! It is so nice to see you again." I exclaimed.

Allora opened her mouth but the only sound I heard was a loud " Toooot!"

" Thought!" Allora exclaimed.

" What?" He said. " I am just saying hi."

Orion " Nice to see you too Thought." I said with a smile spreading across my face. " Say, where is Cliffhanger that trouble maker?" I asked.

Cliffhanger "I'm here. Hi."

Orion "Hi Cliff, you still getting up into trouble?"

Cliffhanger "No."

Allora " Yes, anyhow, how are you doing?"

Orion " Well considering that I am over a thousand feet below the surface of the water fantastic. And how is your story progressing?"

Allora " It is great I have been getting a ton of reviews and they just keep coming." She said

Orion " Cool. Hey, I need to talk to my readers here for a sec." I said.

Allora " That fine take your time." She said.

Orion " Hey all you awesome and crazy ( and I mean that in a good way) mechs out there, thanks for reading and for sending reviews. I really appreciate it and I would like to take this chance to officially introduce to you my friend AlloraStar217 who is the author to Is This Reality. And I would also suggest that you guys read her fanfic too. Hey, AutobotGuy710 thanks for the review and I hope that you will continue to read my fanfic. ONE MORE THING you mechs are awesome."

Pen Pal

In the city Conrad, there are many schools but none are as special as New Iacon High. It is the only school in the city where human and cybertronian students are in close quarters with each other, although they aren't in the same classrooms. This school is only the second of it's kind but there are going to be more in the future. That is where Caleb, Sophie, and I all go to school.

" Ring, ring. First bell warning, get to class before the final bell." Went the announcement system.

" See you for the trip Alex." Said Caleb as he started to walk off.

" See you there Caleb," I said waving my hand at him.

The trip he is talking about is the field trip to the Alpha Trion Museum of Human Cybertronian History.

"I wonder what it is going to be like at the museum." I thought as I walked to class.

Time jump

School Hallway:

I was walking to where all the students were supposed to meet for the field trip when I walked into someone.

" Ugh," I said.

" Hey, you ok there buddy?" Said a metallic voice above me.

I looked up and saw one of the cybertronian teachers.

" Sorry, Mr. Kup." I said, " I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

Kup is an old mech,but he is not as old as Alpha Trion mind you. He transformers into a pickup truck that is colored gray and white. His helm looks like it has a helmet on it at all times. He is a veteran of the Autobot-Decepticon war over both Cybertron and Earth, and he likes to tell old war stories a lot. His biggest fan is Grimlock the Dinobot.

" It's ok Alex, just remember to keep your eyes on the road." Said Kup before walking off.

" I am not driving yet," I muttered as I walked the other way.

" I heard that," Kup shouted over his shoulder.

" Attention, all students who are attending the field trip to the Alpha Trion Museum of Human and Cybertronian history please report to the bus entrance." Said the announcer over the intercom.

" I had better hurry if I want to make the bus." I thought as I walked toward the bus entrance.

Time jump

Outside the school. Bus entrance:

" Ok students listen up." Said one of the human teachers.

" We will be leaving for the Alpha Trion Museum of Human-Cybertronian history in a few seconds, but first, we have a few more announcements before we depart. First of all, no item in the museum is to be touched. Second you will all be in groups of two to three people per group. Third if you brought credits for the gift shop, wait until the end of the tour. Finally, at the end of the tour, you will be assigned either a Cybertronian or a Human pen pal so that you can quiz each other on what you have seen today, as well as make new relationships with your fellow students. Your groups and pen pals have already been assigned to you."

"Awwww." The entire group went because a bunch of them were already grabbing people to be in a group with.

" No complaining, and no trading partners either. We will be watching at all times. Now let's load up and roll out."

The Alpha Trion Museum of Human-Cybertronian History:

" This place is big, " said my partner Sam.

Sam is in the same grade as me but you could never tell that just by looking at him. Sam is six-foot t and wears glasses sometimes. He is a very caring person who will lend a friendly ear if anybody ever needs one, and is also like an older brother to me.

" There's the understatement of the millennia," I said as I looked up.

The museum is five stories tall if you can imagine one story being taller than Optimus Prime which is about five stories tall on Earth. The museum has many ancient artifacts such as the forge of Solus Prime, the Star Saber, and other relics of the Primes.

" So, where do we start?" I asked Sam as we walked.

He grinned at me maniacally and said " The Wrecker Section." He stated.

I grinned back but before we even got started one of the human teachers yelled.

" We are all taking the tour together so everyone stay together."

Another long "Awwwww."

" Welcome to the Alpha Trion Museum of Human-Cybertronian History." Said a perky tour guide as she walked up to us.

She was a young woman with long red hair that hung down to her shoulders, she looked like she was 25 years old, she is skinny, and has a wedding ring on her right hand, and she wore a gray museum uniform.

" My name is Rayna and I shall be your tour guide today. First, we shall visit the Hall of Heroes of the war for both Cybertron and Earth are displayed." Rayna said as she led us down a hallway.

She showed us the most famous of the heroes first like OP, Bee, and others but when she showed us the statue of Robert Epps everyone shouted at the top of their lounges " Left Cheek, Left Cheek, Left Cheek." Which made the tour guide jump out of her stockings and made the whole group laugh hard. " Yes well," she said " Yes well, that is one of his most famous sayings. And here we have one of the only stereotype transformers, Blaster." I couldn't help but laugh.

" What is so funny," asked Rayna turning around. I walked in front of the entire group so that everyone would be able to see me.

" What I find so funny is that we call Blaster a stereotype transformer, and we use stereotypes all the time in our everyday life." I finished then the rest of the group got it. Stereotype transformers and stereotypes. Even the teachers and Rayna were laughing so hard that it took a little for everyone to calm down.

" I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you young man." She said

" No pro," I responded

Time jump

Outside the museum, lunch time:

" Dude!" Said one of my classmates. " Nice one there."

" Thanks, " I said giving him a high five as he walked by.

" He, Alex, which bot do you think you are going to be pen pals with?" Asked Sam while opening up a soda can filled with the favorite drink of teenagers, Cosmic Rush.

" I am hoping for that kid that looks like Arcee" I responded

" Why her?" Sam asked

" Because I don't have a weird feeling around her like I do around that green seeker one," I said pointing to a green bot that was skinny, and boot like peds. He had wings like a seeker and a helm that looked like a cockatoo's when his feathers are up or down. He also has a human-like face.

" What kind of feelings?" Asked Sam with a mischievous smile spreading across his face.

" Dude you are not right in the head," I said while pushing him.

" Hey! I was only…"

" I know exactly what you were thinking," I said before he could finish. " You were thinking that I like him as in love with him. And that is soooo wrong, whenever I get near him I get goosebumps."

" Ya," Sam said. " That isn't crazy at all. When was your head examined last?" He said starting to sound weird.

" Dude, you need to stop acting like you are my older brother. But maybe you are right. Maybe I am going crazy. I will talk to my parents as soon as I get home." I said in defeat.

" Good now are you going to drink that Cosmic Rush?" Sam asked

Meanwhile at the other of the end of the courtyard

" Atlas lob the ball to me," my friend Nightfire shouted.

Nightfire is a mech about my age, he looks like a praxian but squished. He has a black color scheme all over him and purple flames on his hood and sides like Hot Rod.

" Coming at you Night," I said before lobbing the ball at him.

He skidded backward as he caught it and said " Nice lob."

" Thanks," I said. " Hey by the way which one of the humans do you think you are going to get as a pen pal?" I asked after catching the ball.

" I am really hoping for the one that came up with those jokes, now that is someone I can have fun with," Nightfire said.

" Now that sounds like something Wheeljack would say. And if he is your pen pal, well better you than me." I said

" And why is that?" asked Nightfire

" I just get this weird feeling when I am around him." I said, " Like someone is spying on me when I am alone."

" Man, you have got problems," Nightfire stated flatly. " First, it was the looking like a seeker thing, the next it was that your parents are keeping a secret from you, and now the feeling you get from being around one single human. You need to stop worrying about this kind of stuff and enjoy life." He stated.

" Night I think that you might take things way too easily," I said. " But I think that with school and everything I guess that I do need to need to calm down," I said with a sigh.

" Good, then lob the ball over to Valent. He is waving his hands like a maniac." Night said.

I grinned at him then lobbed the ball as hard as I could.

Time jump

Drop off site in front of the museum:

"Students as you get on the bus you will be given the email address of your pen pal and his or her name, and after three weeks you will meet your pen pal at a designated place of your choice." The teacher said.

As I walked onto the bus I got a slip of paper with the email address and name. Alex1129 , name Alex Alexander.

" Hmm, what a strange name." I thought as I took my seat on the bus.

" Hey, bro, who did you get for a pen pal?" Asked my brother Valent.

" A guy named Alex Alexander," I said.

" What a weird name," Val said

" Ya. Who is yours?" I asked while putting the slip of paper in my subspace for later.

" A person name Caleb Alexander." He said then asked. " Do you think they are related?"

" If they are then I am Starscream, the one true leader of the Decepticons." I mocked. " Come on the teachers would not pair up two sets of sibs."

" Maybe. But then again maybe not." Said Valent.

I sighed with boredom as we waited for the bus to get moving and arrive back at school just in time to get on another bus and head for home.

Allora " It was great talking to you again, Orion. I have to get to scout the tracks with Thought now. See you when I can."

" See ya," I said before signing off.

" Hey you awesome mechs out there I am going to explore the sea base now, so later." I then exited stage right.
