Wow!
Thank you for the reviews!
It's encouraging me to no end!
I'm making this chapter extra long for a couple of reasons...there is a lot human-ness and not enough robot-ness.
I am currently playing Fable 2 again...ugh, it's so addicting!
Why can't I stay pure...WHY?! xD
Oh and I just realized I was spelling Ratchet wrong in the last chapter...stupid me!
Oh well!
I also gave Tai my hairstyle...xP
Anyway...here is chapter three...
Chapter 3
Holy Space balls!
For the last fifteen minutes, Optimus, Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Jazz have watched Sam pace back and forth waiting for his cousin to arrive. Ironhide was still out in his shooting range doing who knows what kind of destruction.
As he was pacing, Sam was talking to himself. 'Okay...how to explain to her...how to explain to her...hmm, let's see...'Hey Tai...I've been doing pretty good...Hey did I mention my new group of friends I want you to meet...they're out of this world!' No! No...that's no good...'
Ratchet, who had his head resting on his hand, looked out the large window toward the open gate and saw a bright blue car pulling in.
'Sam...I think she's here...' He said to the young human, who stopped what he was doing and ran to the base door.
'Oh boy! Yep that's her...okay shhh...shhh...just stay put...go with the plan! I'll be back!' Sam walked casually out of the base, before leaning against the outside wall...after almost falling.
The familiar Dart pulled up the gravel path looking bluer and shinier than ever, Tai must've been taking amazing care of it. But how did she manage to get it back after ten years? He'd have to ask her about that later.
He laughed when he saw Psyches' huge black and white head sticking out of the window, her huge tongue flopping in the wind. How she managed to fit all of her stuff and her huge dog into that one car was way beyond his comprehension of understanding.
From where he stood, he thought he heard the Crazy Frog music playing and he saw her dancing along in the driver seat as she turned the car off. He shook his head with a smile. Her variety of music was questionable...but than again, so was his...and Jazz's...and Bumblebee's.
Than without warning, the passenger door popped open...by itself which was odd and slightly creepy...and Psyche clambered out with an excited bark. Man...that's not a dog...that's a pony! He thought, watching the huge dog give herself a good stretch and shake, her jowls and ears flopping. He hadn't seen her since she was a puppy.
Tai brought her over during one of her rare visits. She was so cute and fun to play with. What really made him laugh at how much Mojo liked her. He wouldn't leave her alone.
I can't wait for the guys to see her! He thought gleefully...especially Ironhide.
Ever since Mojo 'lubricated' on his foot...he immediately was not a Dog person/robot.
As soon as Psyche looked up and saw Sam, her huge tail starting wagging and than with a loud bark, she started galloping towards him.
'Psyche! Nonononono! Stay! Stop! Arg!' The next thing he knew, he was on the ground with a six foot and 120 pound dog on top of him, licking his face over and over again.
Sam tried to get away or push her away but it wasn't working. He could hear Bumblebee laughing at him from where he lay near the base door.
'Shut up!' Sam muttered, knowing Bee could hear him with his amazing hearing. And why weren't they in their car forms yet?!
'Psyche...Leave him!' A female voice said sternly.
Psyche immediately stopped her menstruation's and stepped off of him, went behind and pushed her nose under his upper back, like she was trying to help him up. He sat up all the way and looked at the dog in amazement. He couldn't even get Mojo to stop peeing on everything...or everyone.
'Ugh! Nasty!' He muttered, wiping his face with his shirt. How could one dog drool so much?
He looked up when he saw a petite hand with different colored nails reach down to help him up.
'Wow...she still loves you...!' Tai laughed, brushing the dirt off of him.
'Well that's good...I don't want a dog that big hating me!' He replied back, still getting the rest of the drool off of him and than petting the dog on top of the head.
He than got a good look at Tai.
Her hair was now short, choppy, and white blonde...even more so than in the picture. It stood up in every which way and it looked pretty cool.
She was wearing a black and yellow striped Nirvana t-shirt, one of the many in her huge collection. She always had a very tom-boyish sense of style...even when they were little; she never wore dresses or little girly clothes, even though his Mom always made her every now and than. Her pants consisted of red plaid strapped Bermuda shorts with doodles etched into them. She, being very artsy, draws on everything that there is to be drawn on. Like one time, Miles passed out after getting into his Dad's liquor cabinet and she drew penises all over his face and arms. It felt like his ribs still hurt from laughing so hard. Note to self...hide the Sharpies...Sam thought to himself.
Her shoes were the skater shoes Sam sent her for her birthday a few years ago. And of course, she took a sharpie to them hence why they were covered with little doodles and cartoons.
A tie-dye messenger bag with buttons covering most of it was slung over her shoulder, a blue slurpee clutched in her head
'Hey Sam-a-rino!' She laughed, pushing her leopard print sunglasses on top of her head. 'Hey...come on...are you just gonna stand there staring at me or are ya gonna give me a hug?' She held out her lean arms for a hug. 'I swear I don't have cooties!'
Sam practically launched himself at her, and hugged her tightly, swinging her around in circles.
'Tai-dye! My sister from another mister!' He hoped to God the Autobots didn't hear his attempt at being gangster...especially Jazz. 'How the hell are ya?'
Tai laughed at his sentence and pulls away before her slurpee flew out of her hands.
'Oh you know...pretty solid.' She said casually, swishing her bangs out of her eyes. 'I'm totally excited to finally be able to live in the same town as you dude...not to mention the same house I guess...' She leaned against her car, finishing her slurpee off and tossing the cup onto the ground.
'So is there any particular reason Aunt Jude gave me directions to this place...?' She suddenly asked, looking up at the old building.
'This is justa smidgen out of the way don't you think...I mean miles away from Tranquility...' She sets her hand on her Psyche's head. 'Pretty much in a forest...not to mention, it looks like it's abandoned and it's kind of creepy...in a Haunted house on the hill type way...like I'm worried some psycho, cannibalistic hillbillies are going to come running at us from the trees...' She than took a Voltage Mountain Dew out of her bag as she spoke, which made Sam raise an eyebrow and wonder what other thing she had in her bag.
'So...you going to tell me...or no..?'
Sam was getting a bit antsy and jumpy. Tai was way too observant sometimes...way way WAY too observant.
'Well Tai... where should I start?'
'How about at the beginning since most stories and/or explanations usually start there.' She always seemed to have a witty comeback...Jazz will like her. He thought to himself as he put his hands in his pockets and rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet.
'Well...you see...' He began, than he caught a glimpse of something on Tai's under forearm area that made him do a double take.
Tattooed on her was a very familiar looking symbol...and he knew exactly what that symbol was. The Autobot insignia. Wait...how did she know that symbol?
'Wait a minute! Wait a minute! What is that?' He asked in shock pointing at her arm. Tai's look of confusion changed to horrified in a matter of seconds. Dropping her soda, she quickly tried to cover it up with her hand.
'Uhhh...nothing...nothing important...it's a...uhh...Easter island head!' She stammered, making up every excuse she could think of as she tried to get away from him.
'You lie!' Sam exclaimed, chasing her as she tried to make a break for it. He managed to grab the strap of her bag, and pulled her into a headlock.
During the struggle, Sam looked up to see Optimus and the others sticking their heads out of the large base doors...before stepping out completely.
Again, Sam felt déjà vu...the memory of the backyard incident was still fresh in his memory. Luckily no fountains were being stepped on...and no peeing dogs. Well there was a dog but she was a well behaved dog.
Making sure Tai couldn't see anything, Sam gestured wildly with his free hand for them to go back inside. Bumblebee cocked his head confused, making an 'I can't understand you...' gesture with one of his hands going to his audio receptors.
'Get back inside!' Sam ground out loudly, making sure Tai's ears were covered.
That Bumblebee understood. Jerking forward, he nodded and proceeded to push...no, shove...his older comrades back inside.
They, of course, didn't appreciate this one bit.
'Bumblebee...would you please cut it out!?!' Ratchet protested, wishing he didn't leave his wrench in his med-bay.
'Youngling...what is the meaning of this?' Optimus did not at all appreciate being shoved by his young scout.
'Sam says to go back inside...now...Vamoose!' He seriously loved Earth language, very amusing language it was. After shoving the other back inside, he turned and gave Sam a thumbs up.
Sam, who was still struggling with Tai, gave an awkward one back.
'Sam...Please! You're choking me!' Tai yelled, breaking free, her back towards the base. 'I'll tell you for the love of Uncle Sam's huge nipples...No need to try to strangle me!' She said more calmly, fixing her hair and cracking her neck loudly.
'But before I do...I have on question...who were you talking too?'
Sam's eyes widened.
Whoo! Review please!
