Chapter 4
AN: Another day another chapter. :D For anyone who needs a clearer picture of Jeanette she looks like Jessica Alba when she's blonde except a little shorter, her curly hair stops just below her shoulders, and she has emerald green eyes. On with the Sequel!
Disclaimer: *Sniff* I am not worthy enough nor have enough imagination to own Transformers. I do own Jen which means I have some creativity!
***** Hurt
I stretched as I got out of car Bee. He had pulled into a cemetery where we're supposed to meet Optimus. On the way here, we had stopped at a gas station so that I could change into normal clothes. I had happily changed out of my tiny dress and into some comfy blue jeans and a black hoodie, but I left my blonde hair down.
I saw Optimus as I got out and I smiled and waved at him. Sam climbed up one of the cemetery things so that he could get a little closer to talk to Optimus.
"You won't give me one day, huh?" Sam asked irritated. He had been really quiet on the car ride here after miss slut left. "You won't give me one day in college?"
"Like I said before, a lot can happen in one day," I shrugged nonchalantly as I sat down on the Bee's hood Indian style. Sam gave me a look and focused his attention back on Optimus.
"I'm sorry, Sam," Optimus apologized, "but Jeanette is right. A lot can happen in one day. The last fragment of the Allspark was stolen."
"What do you mean a Decepticon stole it?" Sam asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Who else, Sam?" I asked rhetorically.
"We placed it under human protection at your government's request, but I'm here for your help, Sam," Optimus stated, "because your leaders believe we have brought vengeance among your planet. Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human the trust we share."
"Why can't Jen do that?" Sam asked confused.
"Jeanette is helping us and we couldn't do this without her. However, one alone cannot do everything. We need your help, too, otherwise we wouldn't ask for it," Optimus explained.
"This isn't my war!" Sam said desperately. What a baby.
"Well, it's not mine either, Sam!" I snapped, "But you don't see me whining 'oh poor me! I want a normal life! I don't want to help stop alien robots from DESTROYING our planet! Why can't someone else do it?' A lot of people would love to be in our position to save the world! Suck it up and deal with it mister!"
"Jeanette is right," Optimus started.
"Duh, I'm always right," I said jokingly.
"This is not your war yet but I fear it soon will be," Optimus said gravely. "Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron. Whole generations lost. "
If that doesn't sound sad to you, then you got some issues.
"I know and I want to help you. I do, but I'm not some alien ambassador," Sam said.
"I'll be the ambassador, you can stand there and look pretty," I smirked. Sam glared at me.
"While Jen isn't normal, I am a normal kid with normal problems," Sam said.
I glared at him, "I resent that!"
"I am where I'm supposed to be," Sam finished. "I'm sorry, I really am."
"Sam, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing," Optimus said sincerely.
"You're Optimus Prime. You don't need me," Sam said as he started walking towards me and car Bee. "Besides you got Jen. You don't need me."
It sounded to me like Sam was trying to convince himself that they don't need him. Whatever. I felt disappointment swell up in me and I couldn't find the heart to say anything to Sam.
I didn't say anything as I slid off of Bee and got into the driver's seat. Sam shot me an annoyed look but didn't say anything as he got into the passenger's seat. Bee is my car, too, and he's my boyfriend so that gives me double rights to sit in the driver's seat. I held back the urge to stick my tongue out at him in triumph.
Bee started our drive back to the college. I didn't look at Sam as I felt my anger start to bubble just below the surface. How could Sam just refuse to help like that? This isn't a game. This is the matter of the world ending or not. The tense silence continued until Sam broke the silence when we were almost back at the college.
"Jen, I-" Sam started and I looked at him sharply.
"Don't talk to me, Sam," I said warningly, "otherwise I won't be able to control what I say."
Sam sighed as he looked at me sadly, "Jen, I'm not like you, okay?
I felt hurt sting me sharply and felt it slowly add to my anger, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm not happy with being different. I don't like standing out from the crowd. I'm not okay with feeling completely normal when I hang out with giant, alien robots," Sam explained. "I'm not okay with being… weird."
I gasped as I felt tears gather in my eyes clouding my vision.
I stared at Sam hurt and I didn't even bother to pretend that I was driving. "Well, you know what, Sam? You're right. I am weird. But that's better than being a little asshole who wants everything to go his way! Sam, you've never been normal! Get that through your head! All through high school you were that dorky kid who embarrassed himself in public, albeit mostly because of Miles! You were picked on and teased and pranked! And who stuck by you through it all? Who acted like an idiot in front of everyone so that they stopped laughing at you? Who stood up for you if anyone bothered you?
"And then you started dating Mikaela. Oh, that's extremely normal to be going out with the hottest girl at school. And what's even better is that if I wasn't here, you probably would have cheated on Mikaela with that slut! You wouldn't even have started dating Mikaela if it weren't for the battle at Mission City! You know what, Sam? Take your frickin' normal and shove it. I am done with your attitude!"
Bee stopped in front of Sam's dorm. Tears were running down my face and had been since half way through my little speech. Sam was staring at me in shock. I looked away from him and stared out the window.
"Get out," I whispered. It was silent and I heard the door open as Sam got out. The door closed and Bee sped off.
I didn't look back.
***** Mikaela
I need some girl time.
"Bee," I sniffed as I wiped my tears away. We were a little ways away from the college and Bee was driving us back to the base.
"Yes, Jen?" Bee replied through the radio.
"Umm, do you think you could drop me off at Mikaela's place or something?" I sighed. I could hear the worry in his voice.
"That was a pretty intense conversation with Sam. Do you want to talk about it?" Bee asked me. I gave a small smile at his thoughtfulness.
"No, I think I need some girl time. Besides I haven't hung out with Mikaela in a long time," I shrugged.
"Okay," Bee said and started to drive me to Mikaela's house. She wasn't at her house so Bee drove me to her and her dad's garage where they fix cars up. Mikaela came out as we pulled up and she smiled brightly at me. I smiled and got out of Bee.
"I love you, Bee, but I think I'm gonna hang out with Mikaela for a while. You can go back to the base," I told him. Bee's holoform appeared and he looked down at me concerned.
"Are you sure?" he asked. I nodded and smiled.
"Yeah but thanks," I smiled. I pulled his head down and kissed him lightly on the lips. He, of course, pushed for slightly more. His lips melded with mine as he pulled me against him. I couldn't help myself as I ran my hands down his abs and felt him shiver as I bit his lower lip. He groaned. I felt his warm breath on my lips as I pulled away reluctantly. "Love you, Bee."
He smiled at me dazed and kissed my forehead, "Love you, too, Jen."
Bee reluctantly waved goodbye at a gaping Mikaela and got into the driver's seat so it looked like someone was driving. Bee pulled out and drove away.
"Who was that?" Mikaela asked shocked. I laughed as I realized Mikaela had never seen Bee's holoform before.
"That was Bee's holoform," I smiled as Mikaela looked confused.
"I thought they were holographs," she said confused. I nodded.
"They used to be, but Ratchet fixed them so that Bee can touch things. He calls it a holoform," I explained. Mikaela nodded and looked a little devious.
"And when you say touch things, you mean you, right?" Mikaela joked as she smiled at me slyly. I blushed.
"Shut up!" I laughed.
"Seriously, that's awesome for you guys though. Have you noticed he looks exactly like Chris Hemsworth with dimples?" she asked me dreamily.
I nodded with a smile, "I know. I melt every time he gives me his dimpled smile."
"Well, come on in. I want you to meet someone," Mikaela walked inside and I followed behind her curiously. "This is Bones."
I smiled as a big English Mastiff wagged his tail and came to greet us. I pet his head as he greeted me by licking my hand. I laughed.
"Aww, he's a sweetheart!" I smiled. He gave a low woof as his tail continued to wag.
"Thanks," she smiled as she sat down on a random couch in the middle of all of the car stuff. She pat the seat next to her for me to sit down. "Whats up?"
I plopped down next to her and looked at her innocently, "Can't I ever just come to visit my bestest friend?"
"Sure, you can! But that's not why you're here," she pointed at me. I sighed and nodded.
"Okay, you got me," I held up my hands. "I'm pissed at Sam."
Mikaela snorted, "Well, that makes two of us."
"What did he do to you?" I asked confused.
"He gave me this stupid web cam and said we could have 'web cam dates' so that we can still have a strong relationship or something," she sighed as she ran her hand through her hair. She picked at her shorts. "Your brother is weird."
I rolled my eyes, "Try telling him that."
"Anyways," she continued, "we were supposed to have our first date last night but he never showed up."
My jaw dropped in surprise, "Oh, Mikaela! That's actually Bee and my fault! I'm so sorry! We kinda had an Autobot emergency so we had to pick up Sam to bring him to Optimus. Though he was with that slut at the party when we got there…"
"What?" she asked pissed, "Who was he with?"
I gulped slightly. Yeah, I was pissed at Sam, but the whole point of me getting miss slut away from him was to not worry about ruining their relationship. Shit, my bad.
"Uh, well you see…" I started but stopped as another headache suddenly hit me. I hunched over in pain as I cried out. Mikaela forgot about her anger as she looked at me worriedly.
"Jen? Jen, are you okay?" Mikaela asked. I barely shook my head before I fell over so my head was in her lap.
"Ooooh!" I groaned. Mikaela felt my forehead.
"You're burning up," she said as gently got up and stretched me out on the couch. She hurried away somewhere as I gasped in and out trying to get air into my lungs.
Mikaela came back and she had a wash cloth. She gently laid the wet cold cloth on my forehead.
"Jen! Jen, I need you to tell me what's wrong," Mikaela said softly and worried.
I grasped her hand in mine and squeezed it roughly. She yelped. I roughly pulled her hand to my forehead and let go of her hand. Mikaela's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at my head. I pointed at one of the motorcycles. She looked at it bewildered and looked back at me. I groaned in pain as another wave of energy pulsed through me. I vaguely pointed at the area of the motorcycle again.
Mikaela pulled the motorcycle next to me and turned it on. The engine purred softly instead of a rough roar like I knew it would. I can't tell you how I knew I just… knew. I pulled myself off the couch
"Ouch!" I yelped as I fell to the floor, crippled from the energy that pulsed through me yet again. Getting the idea, Mikaela propped the leg of the motorcycle and pulled me over to it. I placed my head on the handle bars so that it was near the engine. I listened to the soft purr that didn't sound anything like Bee's spark humming, but it did the trick.
I sighed in relief as the headache went away and the energy stopped pulsing through me. I only felt a slight hum of energy through me. I swear I heard something mutter, 'What the fucks wrong with the hot femme?'
But I must have been imagining things.
I pulled myself off of the motorcycle and sat back down on the couch. Mikaela stared at me wearily and turned off the motorcycle.
"Mind telling me what that was all about?" she asked as she raised her eyebrows dubiously. I scratched my head.
"Umm, yeah about that," I grinned nervously.
"Uh huh, spill," she said as she plopped down next to me.
"Honestly, I have no clue," I shrugged, "that was the third time it's happened, I think. Or was it fourth? I haven't really kept track."
"Okay but what was that?" she asked.
"I don't know. I mean I get this major headache. And I mean huge! It's not a regular headache. This is like a body crippling, I can't speak, someone just ran over my head with a semi-truck kind of pain," I explained. "Not to even mention this funky kind of… electricity energy thing runs through my body. I mean I can feel it pulsing through me!"
Mikaela stared at me concerned, "Have you told anyone about this?"
I nodded, "Yeah, the first time it happened I was with Bee and the Autobots. Ratchet checked me out, but he couldn't find anything wrong with me. I've found that it always goes away when I listen to the sound of Bee's spark. The second time it happened I was with Sam and that slu- person but we were in Bee so I tried to listen for his spark. I couldn't really hear it but it eventually went away. This time- so yeah, it was three times! This time Bee obviously wasn't around, so I thought maybe hearing an engine might be similar. It's not, by the way, they sound completely different but it did the job."
"Huh," Mikaela said thoughtfully, "Interesting, do you think it's something physical or mental? That energy part is really concerning. My guess is that for some reason touching one of the Autobots or something mechanical is almost directing the energy out of your system. Would something bad happen if you weren't able to touch something mechanical?"
"Just cut me open and dig in," I muttered sarcastically. I sighed frustrated, "I don't know, Mikaela! Can we just drop it?"
"No-" she started when her phone started ringing. She frowned and pointed at me, "We are not done talking about this yet!"
She got up to pick up her cell phone and I made a face at her back. She frowned at the cell phone and answered on speakerphone.
"I'm not talking to you Samuel and neither is your sister," Mikaela sneered as she answered.
"Hello? What Jens there?" Sam said sounding flustered and frustrated.
"I can't believe you stood me up on our first web chat date and you were with another girl!" Mikaela said angrily. I flushed.
"I tried to tell you. Nothing happened," I said embarrassed. Nothing had happened after all.
"That's not important right now. Something just happened to me," Sam tried to get our attention.
"What you hit puberty?" Mikaela rolled her eyes as she sat back down next to me again. I snorted.
"Been there, done that. Sam's voice squeaked for like 3 years," I smirked.
"No, no! Jen, stop it! This is serious," Sam said.
"What you only correct me for being mean? I'm still not talking to you after calling me weird," I folded my arms and glared at the phone.
"You called her weird? Sam, how dare you, you hypocrite!" Mikaela said.
"HA! See I'm right," I said smug.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry now listen to me!" Sam said rushed. "Jen, you remember about our great-great-grandfather?"
"You mean Captain Archibald Witwicky?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Yes!" Sam said and stopped as the sound of books dropping came through the phone, "Watch it! Watch my books! Uh, okay, remember how- watch the foot! Watch your foot!"
"Jeez, talk about a mental breakdown," I sighed as I shook my head at my brother's antics.
"Mikaela, our grandfather went on this artic mission. And Megatron- Megatron zapped him!" Sam said as thudding came over the phone.
"I think he just fell," I rolled my eyes with a smile.
"Jen, pay attention!" Sam snapped, "Remember how he started seeing those crazy symbols? Okay, well now I'm seeing them, too. Excuse me!"
"Oh, damn, he really is having a mental breakdown!" I said worried.
"Guys, I just read a 903 book in 32.3 seconds and had a meltdown in the middle of my class!" Sam said.
"He was never a fast reader," I shrugged as Mikaela smiled but quickly became serious.
"Jen, stop!" Sam snapped. "I have been seeing symbols ever since Je-"
"Since what?" Mikaela asked.
"Ever since Jen picked up the cube sliver," Sam said. "It felt like something pierced my brain."
"I did feel like I got zapped when I picked it up," I pointed out.
"You know that might explain Jen's headaches!" Mikaela said.
"Headaches?" Sam questioned. "Everyone gets headaches. Jen's just a big baby."
"I am not!" I pouted. Mikaela rolled her eyes.
"Trust me, these are not regular headaches. Sam, she was on the ground in pain! She couldn't even talk!" Mikaela said staring at me.
"We'll figure it out later!" Sam said. "Do you have the cube sliver?"
"I'm still not okay with Mikaela having it. No offense, Mikaela," I shrugged and smiled at her.
"It's locked up in the shop safe," Mikaela reassured him.
"Mikaela, do not touch it! If you really need to in an extreme circumstance make Jen hold it," Sam said.
"Gee, Sam, you're making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside," I huffed.
"I won't touch it, Sam. It's fine. No one knows where it is," Mikaela said.
"You never know who to trust," I said wearily but half joking. Again, I thought I heard someone say, "You twos is hot but ya ain't too bright."
My eyebrows furrowed as I heard something snap. I turned my head towards Bones as he stared at something. 'What ya lookin' at slobber puss?'
A sticker like sound went through the air as I stood up. 'This is a fricin' house of horrors!'
"Jen, what are you doing?" Mikaela asked looking at me questioningly. I stared at Bones as he looked at something near the safe curiously but I couldn't see where he was looking.
"Don't you hear it?" I asked seriously. Softer clanking started as it muttered, 'Oh, it hurts!'
"Hold on," Mikaela told Sam as we both started to walk slowly towards the safe. We got there to see a tiny evil baby trying to crack the safe.
I let out a squeak of surprise as it screeched and backed up away from us. It had a cheese mouse trap on one foot and a sticky mouse trap on the other.
"Another damn evil baby!" I squeaked as Mikaela grabbed tongs and grabbed him around the neck as she pinned him.
"Is that the best you got!" he yelled as Mikaela took out a welding torch and torched his eye. "Ow, that's my eye ya crazy bitch!"
"Who you calling bitch you evil baby!" I said threateningly (not really Mikaela's the one with the torch).
"What are you doing here you little freak!" Mikaela held the torch in his face. "Are you gonna talk?"
"Ow, ow, I seek knowledge from the cube! The Fallen demands me," he told us.
"What knowledge?" Mikaela demanded.
"Who's The Fallen?" I asked.
"You got the shard, give me the shard, I need the shard! They are gonna wack me! I'm gonna be dead without the shard!" he said really fast.
"Oh and that's our problem?" I rolled my eyes. Mikaela hit him against the thing she was holding him against.
"Easy, Warrior Goddess, I'm just a little salvage scrap drone!" he cried out.
"Why would they send a little evil baby to get the sliver?" I questioned.
"Stop callin' me a frickin' baby! My name is Wheelie, Blondie!" Wheelie snapped. I rolled my eyes.
"Really can't people come up with better insulting nicknames? Blondie is so done," I sighed as Mikaela stuffed him into a container. I locked it up so he couldn't get out but I could hear him complaining inside.
Mikaela and I walked over to the phone where Sam was asking what was going on.
"We'll tell you later," Mikaela sighed, "just not on an open phone line. Listen, Jen and I will get on a plane and be over there by this afternoon, okay?"
"Wait, isn't Bumblebee there?" Sam asked.
"No, I didn't know how long I was going to be here and I let him go back to NEST. By time he gets here to get us, we could already be over there. This will be faster," I tell him.
"Fine, I don't like it, but I'll see you guys later, bye," Sam said.
"Bye," Mikaela and I said as Mikaela hung up.
"Let's take care of our little friend, shall we?" Mikaela said as she gestured to Wheelie in the box.
"Let's," I smirked.
***** Slut
"Thank you," I thanked the taxi driver as he opened the trunk for Mikaela and I.
"No problem," he smiled.
Mikaela picked up her suitcase which she had packed some of her clothes in there for me. I picked up the case that Wheelie was in.
"Let out me of this frickin'-" Wheelie started before I hit the box. The guy looked at me questioningly.
"Radio must of turned on by accident," I smiled and he nodded like that made perfect sense. I let out a breath and walked with Mikaela. Mikaela looked around as I showed her to where Sam was staying. "This is his room I'm pretty sure."
Mikaela opened the door and we stared in shock at Sam kissing miss slut on his bed. They broke apart from hearing the door open. I probably looked like a red fish as my face burned with anger and I gaped at them.
"Mikaela, Jen," Sam said shocked.
"Is that your girlfriend?" miss slut asked like it was nothing.
"Uh huh," Sam said still in a state of shock.
"Ex," Mikaela said as she walked away.
"You fucking bitch!" I yelled as I stared at miss slut.
"Mikaela, wait!" Sam said as he started to get off the bed.
"Don't bother you manwhore!" I sneered at my twin.
"Jen, I-" Sam started as he came towards me. My anger drained to horror when suddenly miss slut started hissing and her tongue shot out like a metal rope and wrapped around Sam's throat. She started tossing him around the room with her freakin' tongue!
"Oh my god!" I screamed as I dropped the case Wheelie was in. Mikaela rushed back at my scream and Leo showed up as miss slut dropped Sam.
"Whoa!" Leo said as her tongue retreated. Sam started to scream like a girl as Mikaela chucked her suitcase at the girl but it went over her and out the window. Her face started changing into a flippin' robot! Mikaela started running and I grabbed Sam by the arm. I pulled Sam out as he yanked the door closed.
We all ran as fast as we could out of the dorms and to outside. Mikaela and I followed behind Sam and Leo as we ran since they knew an idea of where the hell we should run to.
"She's an alien robot!" Leo said shocked.
"We gotta run!" Sam shouted at us.
"No shit, Sherlock!" I yelled.
We followed Sam into a library. We ran to one of the upper floors and past people that were reading and on computers. Finally, we ended up hiding between some of the book shelves. I sank to the ground next to Leo as everyone dragged in ragged breaths.
"I can't believe I once had sex with her in my dream!" Leo whisper yelled.
"Must have been kinky," I whispered as I got my breath back and Leo glared at me.
"I can tell that you really missed me a lot, Sam! Was that the same or a different girl than who Jen was telling me about?" Mikaela whisper yelled at Sam.
"You told her about that?" Sam whisper yelled at me.
"It slipped out," I said back.
"What! You weren't gonna tell me about it?" Mikaela whisper yelled at me.
"Don't yell at me! This is Sam's fault!" I replied.
"It is not my fault!" Sam defended himself, "Look, I am a victim here! A victim!"
"Oh, you were a victim? Of what? An eighty pound girl?" Mikaela said angrily.
"More like of swatting spit," I whispered.
"Jen, would you shut up!" Sam said. "It was like getting humped in the neck by a mountain ox!"
"You didn't have to put your tongue in her mouth," Mikaela snapped.
"I didn't!" Sam said.
"You did!" Mikaela accused.
"Look you ever have your stomach tongued by a mountain ox before? An ox with a five foot tongue! It's not fun!" Sam said, "It smelled like diesel! Like a diesely tinge to it!"
"You are such a little girl!" Mikaela said.
"He liked playing with my Barbie's more than I did when we were kids," I added. Sam glared at me.
"I'm not talking to either of you for ten seconds. Ten seconds of silence," Sam said as he started counting.
"You can't give me the silent treatment," Mikaela said pissed, "You know what!"
"I'm not talking to you for another five seconds," Sam whispered.
"I think your counting is off," I said looking at my watch.
"Well, you can give me the silent treatment all you want, but you can't keep me from talking," Mikaela said. "I hope you had fun! Cause this? We are over!"
"She violated your orifice with her nasty alien probe? She did it? She went in there? All of her little embryo alien babies are probably gestating and hatching inside of you! You need to vomit it right now. Yak it!" Leo said disgustingly.
Sam turned green as he actually threw up.
"That's so gross," I said as I scooted away from Sam and closer to Leo.
"Who are you?" Mikaela demanded.
"Leonardo Ponce De Leon Spitz and I am the key to all of this," Leo said. I snorted and rolled my eyes.
"He's Leo," I shrugged. "He doesn't know anything yet."
"You take that back chica," Leo said pointing a finger at me. "The aliens want me because of my sight!"
Suddenly, a shot a burst of one of the walls went flying as pieces of books and book shelves shattered around us as we scrambled from our hiding spots.
"Predict that one," I said sarcastically to Leo.
We are so SOL.
AN: MUAHAHA! Cliffy! Even though you've all seen the movie! Lol In case anyone doesn't know, SOL is Shit Outta Luck. :P I had a hard time writing Jen as sad after her argument with Sam. It's soooo not her. I'm so used to writing her as happy with snappy comments. It was weird O.o Anywho, as always review with any comments or suggestions! Thanks!
Oh and I recommend also reading this new Bumblebee story that just came out it's called "I'll protect you, Bumblebee" by XHoney-BeeX . Check it out! :P
