Disclaimer; Do I own them? Not at all.
I'm sorry for the slow updates. I still haven't fully regained my muse, so there probably won't be another update for a while.
:( Sorries. For my other stories, To Be Real is the next update. Hopefully *crosses fingers* it will be up by next weekend.
Plus, to let some sunshine into the room, school is almost over, which means more updates. ^^
Enough of this, onward to the story!
Her dreams had subsided, a blank darkness filling the forefront of her mind. Lindi stirred slightly in her sleep as an unknown presence wrapped itself around her mind. 'Wake up.'
'You invaded my mind for that?' was her smart remark.
Lindi opened her eyes, squinting as bright rays of light streamed onto her face. "Where are we?" The red head looked back at her friend who was sitting up in her seat. Upon seeing her phone in Sheree's hand she frowned. 'Give it back' she mouthed, keeping half of her attention on the hologram sitting beside her.
Soundwave regarded the question, but choose to leave it unanswered.
Lindi waved a hand in front of the hologram's eyes, "Hey, you still alive in there, or are you just choosing to ignore me?"
Soundwave blinked his cherry red eyes, waving her hand away from his face. "Destination: in the vicinity. Arrival time: seventeen Earth minutes away."
"Sweet," replied Sheree enthusiastically.
Another frown sketched itself to Lindi's mouth. 'She's excited about seeing them. Why am I not? This is what I've been waiting for, for a whole year, to be captured by Decepticons.' She stared at the dashboard, then to the windshield, looking at the current surroundings.
She tried her best to look at anything that wasn't Soundwave. She found the Communications Officer's presence more than just simply intimidating, it was downright foreboding.
Sheree shifted her gaze to her friend in the passenger seat. Sheree was worried about said friend; even before Soundwave came along something had been wrong with her.
She looked down at Lindi's phone that was currently in her possession.
'He's bothering her' concluded the teen. 'She's truly afraid of Soundwave, but why? Damn, if only I could read her mind right now.' Sheree grimaced at her friend's distress.
'It can't just be him that's bothering her. It has to be something else.' She thought, delving deeper into her memories of school the week before. She quickly came to a second conclusion, a devilish smirk playing itself across her face.
"Oh, Lindi, too bad your phone is dead."
Lindi turned in her seat, "And why should I care if it's dead?"
'Now the fun begins.'
Sheree stared straight into Lindi's eyes, "If it worked then maybe you could talk to your lover. That is what's bothering you right? You've been acting pretty strange ever since Soundwave came, and it's because you miss him." Sheree's eye lit up as she poked Lindi in the forearm.
"You two love each other, and you can't stand to be away from each other. That's so cute! Oh look Soundwave, she's blushing!" Sheree pointed to Lindi's cheeks, "Look…riiiiiight there! She's blushing!"
"SHUT UP! I'm not blushing."
Lindi hid her reddened face behind her long locks of hair. She proceeded to face the window opposite the two other occupants, trying her best to hide the blush on her face.
It was true; Lindi did miss the boy Sheree continued to talk about. Faint memories ran themselves through her brain, making themselves known as she thought about him. (Yea… another Lindi flashback.)
She looked up at the tall, daunting figure next to her. It was her seventh grade year; only one month into the new school year, and unfortunately for her, she already hated it.
He continued to walk past her, maneuvering around the other students in the hallway. She sighed, 'I could have at least said hi to him.'
Truth was that Lindi was drawn to his certain charisma. Too bad for her, she was never noticed by his delicate, enticing eyes.
'What can I do to get him notice me?' she thought sadly, already knowing she would never be known to him. 'If only I…' Lindi kept her eyes glued on his tall stature, 'If only he wasn't an eighth grader.'
Lindi snatched the thoughts away, forcing them to the back of her mind. If she was able to, she would have probably thrown them out the window. She turned her attention to the side view mirror, 'Well, at least I stopped blushing.'
Sheree rested her legs across the other side of the seat, "Can I roll down a window? It smells like Lindi in here."
No comeback was heard.
Soundwave rolled down the window closest to the teen, which in turn caused Lindi to jump. The sound of wind blowing into the hummer could be heard loud and clear, shaking the girl clear from her thoughts.
Soundwave wasn't oblivious to the reaction; there must have been something that she was thinking about.
He shrugged the thought away, moving his attention back to the road. He could always question the girl later.
Sheree groaned, "Lindi, what's wrong! Soundwave! What's wrong with Lindi! She won't even turn around to throw something at me!"
Soundwave ignored Sheree, as usual, and pressed on the breaks, "Get out. Both of you," he commanded in his famous monotone voice.
Two doors opened, the human girls taking the invitation to, like Soundwave stated, get out.
Lindi and Sheree stared up at the Decepticon in total admiration as said mech transformed into his bi-pedal mode. Sheree squealed loudly, "Oh my God it's Soundwave! You look so pretty!"
Lindi just stood there in awe, not able to get words to form in her throat. The Decepticon kneeled down, setting out his hand, gesturing for the two to climb into his open palm.
"Caution; Stay in the middle of my hand. Reason; flying over the Pacific Ocean. Destination; the Nemesis."
