Hello! How has everyone been? I'm good, got a hockey game tonight, so I figured I'd get this next chapter up before I head out. Going to be a long drive, great.(sighs) Anyway, I have a few people to thank first before I get started. First off, I'd like to thank ThunderBenderPrincess for the names of the soldiers and correcting me who is who. And second, I'd like to thank Rapier-3 for the name of the unit Lennox is Captain in, I'll be sure to correct myself now.
Okay, onto business for this chapter… Well as you will read, this is Crystal's side in our story, and I'll tell you when it starts switching back and forth from different prov's, K.
Alright, none of this stuff is mine, its all owned by Dreamworks, Michael Bay, and Steven Speilburg. I only own Crystal, Christopher, Crystal's adoptive parents, her aunt and uncle, and Luke. (Smiles) Please enjoy this chapter, I can't wait to be hearing for you soon. Thank you to those of you, who have also reviewed so far, I appreciate it.
Morning
"Rise and shine beautiful, its time to get up." Chuckled a man knocking on her door before opening it.
"Dad, morning." She yawned sitting up as he walked over.
"Come on. Go get cleaned up and we'll head out to the dealer ships." He said and his fingers threw her hair and she brushed them away smiling. "Breakfast is on the table too." He said walking back to the door.
"Okay, thanks dad." She said as he walked out.
She got out of bed and stretched popping her back in a few places. Walking to her burro, she grabbed a light blue tank top with a darker blue car on it. She pulled out jean Capri's, throwing them onto the bed beside her shirt, and tossed a few other necessities before walking out of her room and to the bathroom.
She showered in her favorite scent, Ocean Mist. It reminded her of the sea and its beautiful view. After drying off in her bedroom, she slipped into the cloths and combed her hair in the bathroom. Her hair was the same as when she was younger. Her blue eyes also seemed brighter as she grew older. After combing her hair, she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Morning Crystal, breakfast is ready." Smiled the woman.
"Thanks mom." She smiled sitting down in her usual spot and ate her eggs, sausage and toast. "Delicious." She smiled as Luke came up to her and rubbed his head in her lap. "No, my breakfast." She smirked as he grumbled and went back to his spot by the door.
"All for you, it is a special day." Smiled her mother.
"Yup." Smiled Crystal.
"Ah, she's done." Chuckled her father. "Come on, come on. We don't want to miss out on the good vehicles." He said.
"Okay dad." She said and carried her dish to the sink.
She followed him to the door where her purse was placed and her sandals nearby on the floor. Stepping over Luke, she slipped them on and grabbed her purse, pulling out her sunglasses. She placed them on and walked out of the house following her father.
"Drive safe you two." Called out her mother from the door as they got into the old truck.
"We will." Smiled Crystal as her father pulled out of the driveway, and they were on their way.
In a Car Lot
"Do any of these catch your interest?" Asked her father.
Crystal frowned as she walked around the lot, "They aren't what I expected I guess. I always figured my first vehicle would be like, calling me." She said walking with her arms crossed.
"Yes, every reaction should be that way." He said. "We can try another lot." He said.
"Alright." She said and they left for the next car lot.
Outside the city
"I got to find Bumblebee and contact the others." Mumbled a figure hiding in the trees. A large black truck passed by, "That looks like the vehicle for me." He grinned scanning it. "Transform!" He said and shifted into the truck and took off. "I may need to blend in before I'm spotted." He said pulling into the city. He pulled into a car lot and parked beside other trucks. "Hopefully I won't have to wait long." He said as an older truck pulled into the lot, and parked.
Crys Pov
"Here we are, a friend of mine owns this one, he may be able to help us." Said her father getting out of the truck and Crystal followed.
She scanned the lot, "I like these better than that other lot." She said walking over to the smaller cars and examining each one closely choosing she didn't like them.
She heard her father talking to another man behind her a ways as she walked around the lot. A glare flashed on her sunglasses and she turned toward the trucks. "Huh." She said and looked at a large black truck that was giving off the glare under the sunlight.
She hurried over and smiled examining it, "Big and strong, sturdy surly… But it must cost a fortune for gas." She sighed rubbing her hand on the hood.
"Crystal, find something you like?" Asked her father walking over with the other man behind him.
"I think so, but I was just thinking about the gas for this." She said. "I don't think I could afford it." She said looking back at it.
"Well, I can tell you this. I don't remember ever seeing this vehicle before, but then again… My other partner has been known to bring vehicles down without telling me." He said.
Her father opened the door and hopped in the front seat, examining the status. "Fairly new, not much miles, I think this ones it." He smiled.
"Really dad, I could get it." She smiled.
"Sure, why not." He smiled stepping out of the truck.
"Thank you!" She smiled and hugged him.
"I can give it to you for, I don't know… 4 grand." Said the dealer.
"Alright, 4 grand it is." He said.
"Alright, follow me to my office." He said and her father followed as she got in the truck and sat down in the driver's seat.
"Wow, a truck of my own, and in wonderful shape." She smiled. "It's almost as if he's brand new." She said feeling the steering wheel and fingering the strange symbol in the middle of it.
"Huh, I wonder what it means." She said and pondered about that when she noticed the keys in the ignition. "Let's start him up." She said and turned the keys to start the truck.
The motor roared to life within seconds loudly. "Wow, what power." She said.
Her father walked out of the office and hurried over to her. "Come on, follow me. I don't want you going out with it just yet, got it." He said.
"Sure thing dad." She said and shifted gear into drive and moved slowly out of the space, waiting for him to get in the old truck and leave.
Following him down the many streets, she got a feel of how the truck moved. When they got home, she parked behind her father in the driveway. As she got out, her mother walked out of the house. "Oh Crystal! What a spectacular vehicle!" She smiled patting her on the back roughly.
"Mom, mom." She said and the woman stopped.
"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie, I forgot." She said hugging her.
"It's okay, I'm okay. I'm fine, nothings wrong with me, nothing should be wrong with me." She mumbled walking into the house leaving her parents by her truck.
Her mother sighed, "She dreamt of him again."
"Last night?" Asked her father and the woman nodded. "I guess it can't be helped then." He said.
"We should help find him, for her." She said.
"It'd be impossible to find him. She's just going to have to live with that." He said following his daughter inside.
"I don't know about them, but I sure wouldn't want to be separated from my own sibling. Right Luke?" She asked as the black German Shepherd/Lab walked up to her sniffing the car.
"Well, you can't answer now, can ya." She said and she walked back inside calling out to him to follow.
'Humans, you just can't understand them. Fragile little organisms.' Thought Ironhide. 'I better start a signal to contact Bee and the others.' He thought and turned his radio on to high frequency that was unnoticeable.
Inside
Crystal sat on her windowsill from her bedroom that was located at the back of the house. She sighed and rested her head against the window frame. "Christopher, where are you?" She wondered out loud to no one.
And there we have it folks, sorry its not much of a chapter, but the next is going to be exciting, maybe… Depending if you love the game of hockey or not, urk. Anyway, as I've said in the last chapter, I had Ironhide on Earth with Bumblebee, who will be showing up in the next chapter as well. (smiles)
Okay, I must be getting ready for my hockey game, so sorry I can't stay. Please review, I love to hear what my readers have to say.
