It Comes In Blue

(Earth, present day)

The weeks gone by fast but the sisters had enjoyed it but with their fifteen-foot tall robotic friend had caused a little trouble, keeping him from public eye and all. About the end of the last week something happened that really caught the trio by surprise.

Considering it had rained since they discovered Art, they were rather doubtful about several people saying that they had discovered giant foot prints not to far from their side of town. Rachel had decided to go out see what was going on while Blair did the final repairs on Artemis. When she arrived she found that a small search party had been deployed. To her surprise they hadn't lied about the giant footprints. Rachel herself had seen the prints imbedded in the soft tan dirt. She was relieved that they weren't Artemis's; the bad thing was they were to some other creature that, by the looks of it, was several feet taller than Artemis.

Rachel being Rachel started to get a little paranoid that who ever the prints belonged to had come hunting down Artemis. Some how she managed to keep her cool while they continued trying to find out whom the prints had belonged to but in the end they never found anything else but the prints.

As days went on and everything went back to normal somewhat. Around Blair and Rachel's shop things had been normal to, well considering.

Blair was currently working in her shop giving Artemis a new paint job while her sister was out in town enjoying this peaceful day. That's when she heard the knocking on the wood/steel door next to the titanium garage door.

Blair took a rag out of her pocket as she turned around to face her guest.

"Um, can I come in?" asked a young slightly dark blond haired boy who looked to be in the seventh grade wearing a thin blue jacket and fingerless gloves.

"Yeah sure" smiling "What cha' need?"

Coming in "Oh nothing I just heard about this new shop opening up I had to come check it out. Hope you don't mind" rubbing the back of his head with a crocked smile on his face like he was kind of ashamed of it.

"Nah. You like mechanical engineering to, hu?" putting the rag back into her pocket

"Yeah my friends call me a geek about it" laughing

Blair laughed to "Don't worry your not alone. So am I. Name's Blair Livington" extending her hand

Taking her hand "Colby. It's nice to meet you."

The two took their hands back and Colby watched Blair walk back over to the counter that lined the right wall. That's when his attention was drawn to the large truck Blair had been working on when he arrived. It appeared to look like a commercial truck but had a regular truck backend. It was an International except it was so much more detailed and advanced but still had that International look.

Colby walked up to the now more white and silver than red and blue. Studying it he was about to put his hand on its hood when Blair stopped him.

"HEY!"

Turing sharply and gasping "What?!"

"The paint's still wet" calmly

Colby turned back to the truck and studied it again. She was right, he could tell that it was wet but Colby didn't comment. He felt kind of stupid for not seeing that. Colby heard the radio turn on to a local radio station. Walking around the driver's side of the truck taking in every detail of this awesome looking work of mechanical engineering perfection. That's when he noticed the bright red logo on its side near were it's smoke stacks was suppose to be but wasn't. Colby's silently gasped when he realized what it was.

"What kind of truck is this exactly? It can't be an International CXT can it?" he called to the returning Blair

"It is. I've just been working in improving its frame."

Colby looked at the cheery expression on her face. He wasn't the master a reading faces and right now she didn't seam to be lying. Colby looked back up at the symbol as Blair disappeared around the front of the truck. He looked back up at the symbol; he knew this symbol all to well. There are only two ways this truck could have this in particular symbol. One she had put it on the white truck because she had found it and liked it or that this International was an Autobot. Question was; did she know?

For some reason he decided he wouldn't ask. Not Blair anyway. That's when he heard another vehicle pull up, the door opened and shut again. Colby was amazed as to how similar this newcomer looked to Blair.

"Ha! Blair I got the new mag- Hey who's this?" asked the silver haired women

"This is Colby. And is a mechanical engineering lover like use Rachel!" stated Blair calmly unlike Rachel, introducing the him

"Well hey'a nice t' meet ya! Name's Rachel, Blair's sister." taking Colby's hand in greeting. Rachel was perky and spirited to say the least and was making Colby kind of nervous.

"There's a auto-shop across town right?" she asked bluntly

"Yeah. I leave down the street from it" not sure he understood what her question meant

"Oh" she started to chuckle a little "I hope the guy that owns that place isn't mad at use for opening up are shop. Ya know him?"

Colby toke a few minutes to put what she said together.

"Uh? Ya he's a friend of mine" taking a step back

"Rachel calm down your freaking Colby out." Turning back to the boy "You'll have to excuse my sister she's crazy"

Rachel snorted and tossed the magazine she had been holding over on the counter. Blair and Colby looked at each other both grinning nervously at Rachel's mood change.

All of their attention turned to another car as it pulled up. The new sports car was light blue and had yellow in some places, mostly on its hood and window shield. Blair's eyes, along with her sisters, went wide as they both were amazed by it. They had never seen a car like this. But what really caught their attention was the small symbol on its hood in between its headlights. Both glanced at each other but remained silent and cool.

"Well got to be going my rides here."

"What?!" the two chorused, "That's your ride?" finished Blair

Colby took off in a little jog over to the light blue tricked out sports car but turned back, "Yeah, you could say that. See ya!"

The sisters waved back and watched Colby hop in the car and just a few seconds later took off down the road. Finally when they were out of sight Rachael walked up and pushed a button beside the door to lock it. She then turned around and watched Artemis transform.

"Let me guess you saw that to" asked Rachel pointing up to the symbol on Artemis's shoulder indicating what she was referring to.

"That symbol must hold some significant Art," continued Blair walking up to the white bot

"Yeah, but how much?" he asked "And what does it mean?"

The three stood in silence for sometime till Blair remembered something "I bet Colby knows something though"

"Why would you think that?" asked Rachel

"He didn't realize it but I saw him study that symbol of Art's closely and then his ride pulls up with an identical symbol plastered on its hood. That can't be a coincidence." crossing her arms over her chest a serious look on her face. Rachel copied he motion to the spot. Artemis couldn't help but smile at this since neither of them seemed to realize that they were.

"What about what happened the other day? You got to admit that pieces of these puzzles go together quit nicely" looking up at Artemis

"You have a point their" said Artemis

"Let's just keep up are original planes and let them come to use first," stated Blair

Artemis transformed again and listened to the music that was still playing in the background while Blair got back on painting Artemis. Rachel eventually started to help to. All their mines were on Colby, that blue car, and what could he wait for them in the future.
