AN: Hey, thanks again to anybody who is reading this story. It's a blast to write, but I would still appreciate some nice reviews:)

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers or Gilmore Girls no matter how much I wish I did!

Pairing: Lorelai/Bee, Lorelai/Luke. (More pairing on the way)


Luke didn't know how long they were in Bumblebee for. He was guessing maybe around an hour and a half to two hours. Optimus followed behind them in his truck form for the entire way.

The ride itself was rather awkward. To Luke's dismay, Lorelai must have still felt guilty about everything and remained quiet the entire ride. And Luke figured Bumblebee and Lorelai had a strong enough connection that he could sense her sadness and as a result, he also kept quiet for the ride.

Optimus stayed close behind them, toward the right flank, in case any other unwelcome visitors decided to make an entrance.

Luke became aware of their surroundings when he was jolted out of his thoughts as Bumblebee turned off of the abandoned road that led them a few miles past Hartford, onto an even more secluded rocky road, surrounded by nothing but bushes and tall weeds from the fields on the sides of the road they were traveling down.

Luke glanced ahead out the windshield to see if he could spot anything ahead. He could easily see a dense forest a few feet away.

They drove on the bumpy road for at least fifteen minutes before they finally exited the woods. Finally Luke spotted a source of light about a quarter of a mile up the road. As Bumblebee drove toward it Luke discovered it was in fact an old abandoned warehouse.

A minute later they were pulled up to the side of it. As Luke hopped out of the passenger side of Bumblebee and Lorelai followed suit jumping out of the drivers seat. Optimus pulled up to the side of them and proceeded to transform.

It had to be the most mesmerizing thing Luke had ever seen. The trucks body separated into several metal platelets that folded over many times until the under skin of the robot—which consisted of fragile wires, gears, and other forms of circuitry—could be seen, then the platelets refolded back over the body as a form of protection. It grew substantially in size as the legs sprouted and finally gave Optimus a more human-like quality.

Shortly after Optimus was in his robot mode, Bumblebee was quick to follow. Luke watched Bumblebee's transformation with equal interest. It didn't take as long as Optimus' did, since the obvious size difference, but it was still amazing and unbelievable to watch.

Once they were both fully transformed, Luke turned his gaze to the warehouse. It didn't even look abandoned. It actually looked as though it was just built not to long ago. The paneling on the outside was in good shape, as were the two humongous garage doors.

Optimus walked up to the one on the right. Luke didn't know what he was doing until he looked more closely. With further inspection, Luke saw that Optimus was typing in something on an overly sized numerical panel.

A few beeps later and the garage door started to lift. Optimus helped it along the way, giving it a slight push so it would go faster and he could enter underneath it. Bumblebee followed behind him, and Lorelai behind him.

Luke was hesitant to enter at first, but as soon as the garage door could be heard starting to close, he was inside, right behind Lorelai in a matter of seconds.

He observed the inside of the warehouse, and was surprised to see that it was actually quite homey. They were standing in the main part of the warehouse, but in the far left hand corner, Luke could see a hallway, but he couldn't tell how long or wide it was from the angle he was at.

The room itself they were standing in was bigger then Lorelai's house, and Luke's apartment combined. The floor was just a simple gray cement, except in one portion of the room. A few feet away, a small portion of the room—probably the size of Luke's apartment—was covered in a simple red carpet. In the area, there was a large, brown card table, surrounded by various pieces of furniture. There was a black leather couch, and a matching recliner next to it. There was a white love seat in the far corner, and various chairs scattered around. In front of the table sat a large plasma screen TV, and a mini fridge was sitting beside the couch.

On the brown mahogany card table, there was a stack of magazines, round white coasters, and a remote for the TV. Luke realized there and then that Lorelai was obviously not the only person who knew these robots.

When he looked around the room he saw a huge computer that was along side of the wall to his left, along with other various machines he didn't know.

He almost jumped in surprise when three other robots came from the hallway.

The first one that emerged was a candy apple red color. He was a little shorter then Bumblebee, but much broader. The doors were formed the same way they were on Bumblebee, they stuck out almost like wings.

Luke was shocked to see that the next to emerge, looked like an exact replica of the red one, minus the color and some very small difference in the design of the armor around the face. Rather then being a hot rod red, this one was more of a yellowish green color. Also, the armor around this one's face seemed to stick out and upright more then the red one did.

The last robot to emerge, Luke never would have guessed it. It was pink! This robot was a lot slimmer and less built then the others. It was also a lot shorter, probably only about ten foot high. This robot was almost...feminine.

All three of the robots looked past Optimus and Bumblebee and down to Lorelai. The red one was the first to speak. His voice was full of humor when he spoke.

"Well if it isn't little miss get-pregnant-at-sixteen-and-leave-the-rest-of-us-here-to-die-of-boredom-girl!" The red bot joked. Luke was happy to see Lorelai's face light up a bit. The yellow twin stepped up beside the red one.

"Yeah! We had no one to get in trouble with by, Optimus! We had to stick with just the two of us! And believe me, it wasn't as easy to get away with!" The yellow bot teased with the same tone of voice, but his being slightly deeper then the one who looked like him.

Lorelai gave them both a warm smile, then turned to face Luke.

"Ugh, Luke, this is--" Lorelai started nervously, but she was caught off by Optimus.

"Lorelai, I'll take it from here. Bumblebee, why don't you and Lorelai go spend some time together. I know your anxious after being apart for so long." Optimus suggested. Luke saw Bumblebee's face lighten drastically at the suggestion. Although Lorelai looked to be a bit hesitant. Luke knew that she truly did want to spend sometime catching up with Bumblebee, but she was also conflicted with leaving him here by himself.

After what happened tonight, Luke just wanted Lorelai to feel as relaxed as possible.

"Lorelai, it's okay. Go ahead, I'll be fine." Luke reassured her. Lorelai looked at him with eyes that told him she was still unsure. Bumblebee decided to step in.

"Lorelai, it's alright. Optimus is just going to fill him in on what is going on. I think it would be best if you got some rest." Bumblebee explained softly to her, while kneeling down and sticking a hand out for her to climb into.

Lorelai looked over to Luke again, who gave her one last nod of reassurance. Then with a little assistance from Bee, climbed into his giant metallic hand. Luke watched as Bumblebee stood up carefully, while moving the hand Lorelai was in gently so he now had a more secure hold on her, and then stomped off down the hallway from which the other robots made their first appearance.

Apparently the look-alike-robots had other plans, rather then giving Bee and Lorelai some time to recuperate, as they tried to sneak unseen back the hallway. However, the pink robot stopped them in their tracks.

"Don't even think about it boys. Lorelai needs her rest, and so does Bumblebee." The pink robot scolded. The robot's voice confirmed Luke's suspicions that this robot was indeed a female, to Luke's utter shock. Now he has definitely seen it all.

"Aagh! C'mon, Arcee! We won't disrupt anything!" The red bot started.

"Yeah, we just want to give our favorite human a proper greeting!" The yellow bot finished. The robot now identified as Arcee, seemed to roll her blue optics.

"Well you can give her a proper greeting tomorrow along with everyone else when they get here! For now, Bee and Lorelai need to be alone for a little while." Arcee said the last part a little quieter. Optimus finally disrupted the disagreement.

"That's enough from the both of you! You will leave Lorelai and Bumblebee in peace, until tomorrow! That's an order!" Optimus yelled with such force that both of the robots seemed to cower in fear. The yellow one nodded slightly.

Arcee gave them both a satisfied smirk before walking away from them both down the hall. The red and yellow bots both looked at each other before walking to a corner of the room and starting some other conversation.

Optimus turned to look back down at Luke.

"I suppose we'll start with introductions. My name is Optimus Prime. The two in the corner are the twins. The yellow one is, Skids, and the other is, Mudflap. The other one who just walked down the corridor is one of my best scouts, Arcee. And you of course already know Lorelai's guardian, Bumblebee. He is also one of my elite scouts." Optimus explained. Luke nodded letting him know he understood. He tried to figure out what question he should ask first. Their was so many he wished to be answered.

"So, what exactly are you?" He asked. It was one of the first that popped into his head.

"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet, Cybertron. But you may just call us Autobots." Optimus answered simply. Luke wasted no time in firing off another question.

"So, how did you meet Lorelai? How did she get Bumblebee as a bodyguard?" He asked quickly.

"I'm afraid it is a very long story, so I will have to leave out most of the details. You see, our race was born from what we've come to call the Allspark. It is what gave us life. We—being the Autobots—wanted to use the cube for it's true purpose. Sustaining life on our planet. However, our counterparts, the Decepticons, who was lead by my brother, Megatron, wanted to use the cube's power to dominate the universe.

A war erupted on our planet, and I was forced to shoot the Allspark off to the stars. No one—Autobot and Decepticon alike—was sure of it's whereabouts. A few millennium's later, we received a message of a new discovery, that eventually led us here.

However, Megatron also received the message. He crash landed a few thousand years before we did." Optimus explained calmly.

So these aliens are billions of years old? Luke asked himself. He was starting to get agitated. What the hell did any of this have to do with Lorelai. How did she get herself in the middle of an alien war that has apparently been raging for millions of years?

"That is how Lorelai's fate and our fate had become intertwined. Megatron crash landed in the Arctic Circle, where he was frozen from the time he landed. Lorelai's great-grandfather, Edward James Gilmore took forty-one sailors to explore the Arctic Circle. He fell through some thin ice, where he discovered Megatron, and accidentally activated his navigations system. The coordinates for the cube's location, was imprinted on his glasses.

The glasses were passed down from generation to generation, until they were in Lorelai's possession.

Bumblebee had been on Earth about four-Earth years before we discovered Lorelai held the artifact. I knew it would only be a matter of time before the other Decepticons who were on Earth found out she had them. So I sent word to Bumblebee. I told him that Lorelai needed to be protected at all costs, and so, that is how he became her guardian." Optimus finished. Luke nodded to Optimus.

"Yeah, they seem really close." Luke said, trying to invisibly press Optimus to further indulge him on Bumblebee's relationship with Lorelai. Optimus apparently sensed he wanted to know more and so continued to talk.

"Yes. At first it was just a simple mission that needed to be completed for, Bumblebee. But after the battle for the Allspark ended, after Lorelai shoved the cube into Megatron's chest--" Optimus started. Luke interrupted him immediately after he heard 'Lorelai shoved the cube.

"Whoa, hang on! What?!" Luke yelled in shock. After seeing two of those things tonight, Luke was amazed to hear that Lorelai had the courage to do anything like that to one of them, let alone their leader. The other two were probably the scariest things he had ever seen, he didn't even want to picture what their leader looked like.

"Yes." Optimus started. "Lorelai destroyed Megatron by plunging the Allspark into his chest. She saved my life. I was going to sacrifice my life to destroy it, hoping to end the conflict, but when I told her to put it in my chest, she ran up underneath Megatron and plunged it into his spark. The overdose of power destroyed him and the cube in a matter of seconds." Optimus answered.

Luke just stood there, still trying to let all the information sink in.

"Umm," Luke started questionably. "Okay. Wow. I just can't see her doing that. I can't see her even being involved in all of this." Luke sighed. "Alright, now back to what you were going to say about Bumblebee and Lorelai." Luke pressed. He was curious about this subject.

"As I said, at first it was only a mission to Bumblebee. But as the battle for the Allspark progressed, they both instantly bonded. And I don't mean that in a human sense. Bonding for our species isn't dealing with an emotional and mental bond. It's a physical bond, that will last for an eternity. We we're curious about this occurring between a Cybertronian and a human, as it has never happened before. But as we got settled on this planet, it had occurred even more often. Always between a guardian and their charge. But Bumblebee's and Lorelai's still remains the most powerful. And it is still growing. That's what worries me.

I'm afraid it will get so strong that it will soon tie them as one. As it does between two Cybertronians when they Bond." Optimus said gravely. Luke tried to digest all the information. He was scared by what Optimus had said. Was this going to end up harming Lorelai?

"What's wrong with that?" Luke asked reluctantly, afraid of what the answer was going to be.

"If it gets to that point, I'm afraid that they will become one being. Their souls intertwined. And if that were to happen, Bumblebee wouldn't be able to protect Lorelai as fiercely as he does. If something were to happen to one of them, like a physical injury, it would have the exact same consequences for the other." Optimus said in a monotone voice. Luke's heart seemed to stop when he thought he understood what Optimus was saying.

"So your saying if Bumblebee would die trying to protect her..." Luke started, unable to get the next words out. He refused to even think of something like that.

"Yes. Lorelai would loose her life, shortly after Bumblebee's." Optimus' voice almost seemed to crack. Luke felt his legs start to get weak at the thought of Lorelai dying. He could tell that Lorelai and Bumblebee were close, but this was just pushing it. He needed to change the subject before he really did pass out.

"So, why are these Decepticon things still after her?" Luke asked, his voice low.

"Although Lorelai destroyed the cube when she merged it with Megatron's spark, a small shard still remained leftover. I gave it to her for safe keeping. If I had known the consequences of that action I would have never even thought about handing it to her.

A few months after Lorelai's sixteenth birthday, she accidentally dropped the shard to the ground. When she went to pick it up again, it transmitted all the origins and secret history of our species into her mind. The origins are from the very first of our kind. A Decepticon that goes by the designation, The Fallen.

She started to see symbols in her mind about his pending return to this planet. However we never received the full message of when his return would be, and how he could be stopped. It was cut off for some reason.

Well the Decepticons found out about this, and to this day, they think she possesses the entire message. And so they wish to extract the information from her mind, by means of the Decepticon, Soundwave, who possesses the skill of entering and stealing one's thoughts and memories.

They wish to have these because not even a year after the defeat of Megatron, he was resurrected by his fellow followers. He lives up until now, and now goes by the designation, Galvatron.

Galvatron knows that when The Fallen returns, he will take lead of the Decepticons. Galvatron will stop at nothing to maintain leadership.

So he wishes to capture Lorelai and find out how to defeat him. Unfortunately, the process he wants to do to get the information will be painful and possibly even fatal for Lorelai." Optimus said, still in a grave voice.

For the second time in a row, Luke felt dizzy. There was no way in hell he was going to let the Decepticons get their hands on her. Not as long as he was still here.

"Then a month later, Lorelai discovered she was pregnant. We made sure that she was protected even more then usual. Bumblebee never let her out of his sight.

And when Rory was born, Lorelai didn't want her to be in any danger because of her. So we sent her into hiding, to your small town of Stars Hollow.

The plan worked up until tonight. Now they know we have her. And I have a feeling they will be attempting to obtain her in a short time. The only choice we have now, is to find the last bit of the message and tell Galvatron the information. The Fallen is our enemy as well. So hopefully it will be a win, win situation." Optimus said optimistically.

Luke sighed in relief. At least they had a plan. However, Luke could not seem to shake the nagging feeling in his gut, that something bad was going to happen. And his gut had never been wrong before. The only thing Luke was sure of at this point, was that as long as he was still alive and breathing, Lorelai would never be touched by those monsters.


AN: Hey, please R&R.
