Fangirl Vs. The Director
by Silver Wolf Queen
PLEASE READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE BOTTOM
Chapter 4: Round 4
CC and Silver Wolf Queen—known to her friends as Silva—sat at an outdoor internet cafe next to a black GMC Topkick. CC stared intensely down at her phone, "When are they going to get here? We agreed to have a live chat 20 minutes ago!" she complained.
"Chill out," SWQ responded calmly, tapped the side of her laptop. "The Director will show up. We do have a contract after all and RANDOM FOX GRRL wouldn't miss this for the world."
"Oh!" CC squealed, "He's on!"
The sisters turned their full attention to their respective devices.

TD: Anyone there?
SWQ: Hello.
CC: Sup.
I'm assuming you have more questions for me?
CC: We sure do :)
SWQ: I want to start off with one of my own questions.
Why do the movies tend to focus mostly on Sam and his
awkward relationships with girls? The Autobots seemed
to be more featured characters than main characters.
Well you have to remember, we were trying to appeal
to as many people as possible. Not just the hardcore
Transformers fans. Sam and his story is more understandable
to the general public than the lives of giant robots.
CC: I guess that makes sense. But why were both of Sam's
girlfriends so shallow? It seemed the second he had his back
turned, Carly was flirting with the rich guy. And she even—in
my opinion—blatantly flirted with him right in front of Sam.
Then, Sam was only good enough for Mikeala once he was
friends with giant extraterrestrials and savior of the world.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have given him the time of day.
Does she only date heroes? Because I'm pretty sure Trent
wasn't a hero... in any sense of the word.
Well with Carly, we wanted to create tension between
Sam and "the rich guy". Carly was the perfect way to
do that. As for the second part, was G1 Carly any different?
If it hadn't been for Bumblebee, Spike and Carly would never
have met. Sure Mikeala might have been a little shallow, but she
really likes Sam by the end. Isn't that enough?
CC: No.
SWQ: I'm still pertrurbed by the fact that the Transformers
seemed to be side characters more than anything else. Sam
and his issues took forefront. I mean, you might as well have
called it Sam's Awkward Relationship Adventures (feat. The Transformers).
That's actually not a half bad idea.
SWQ: Don't even joke about that :(

RFG: Sorry I'm late. Jazz took me for a drive, got us lost,
and refused to stop so I could ask for directions. It's all his
fault.
TJM: Hey! I got you back home didn't I?
RFG: After two hours of driving in circles!
CC: Aww... You two are so cute! ^_^
RFG: Not one more word, CC.
SWQ: Wait. Jazz, aren't you supposed to have a super
fancy GPS system?
TJM: Yeah... funny story...
RFG: He got it busted in a sparring match with Ironhide
and didn't go to Ratchet to get it fixed.
SWQ turned around to stare at the Topkick, "Ironhide!"
The truck jerked in surprise, "What?"
"You knocked out Jazz's GPS during a sparring match? How hard did you hit the poor mech?"
The truck visibly sank on its axles at the scolding, then jerked back up, "Wait, how did you even hear about that? Are you talking trash about me on there?"
SWQ shifted uncomfortably in her seat, "No we're just-"
"Yeah right," the truck replied before falling silent.
SWQ turned back to her laptop as it let off a soft beep.

I: Jazz, what are you doing getting me in trouble?
TJM: They asked a question and I answered!
I: Well why'd you tell them?
TJM: I wasn't going to lie to them! That's like...
lying to your femme creator or something.
RFG: Please don't compare me to your mom. It's
just creepy :(
SWQ: Okay, I think we've kinda lost sight of why we're
here. We're here to ask The Director questions. Not argue
amongst ourselves. We can do that any time.
Darn. I thought you'd forgotten about me.
CC: Nope.
SWQ: And guess what!
What?
SWQ: I just opened this up so anyone can sign on and
ask questions :)

SS: Hi! I have several questions. First, why wasn't Ratchet
red and white and an actual ambulance? How come you made
him into a Hummer H2 that was first an eye-searing neon yellow,
and then a horrendous neon green?
We wanted to keep the shape of his alt-mode close
to the shape of his G1 form. Unfortunately, his
alt-mode in G1 was a Japanese ambulance, which
would be really out of place in America. So we made
him a Search and Rescue H2 Hummer. As for his color,
how many red and white search and rescue hummers
have you seen?
SS: I guess that makes sense. But is Prowl
going to be brought in? Someone has to keep
the twins in line!
As of now, there are no plans to bring in Prowl.
Since we already used a police car in the first movie
(Barricade), we don't want to cause any confusion.
CC: Yeah, why did you make Barricade a police
car when Prowl was the police car in G1?
We were trying to keep with the pattern of the Decepticons
choosing alt-modes of authority, like military jets. It
seemed like a Decepticon would also choose a police car.
SS: Okay. That makes sense.
Anything else?
SS: Nope. I'm good... for now.

SWQ: I saw that Grimlock was confirmed for
Age of Extinction. I also heard Swoop was going
to be in the movie, but you changed his name.
Yes. Grimlock is going to be in there. What you
said about Swoop is also true. We were going to have
the two-headed flying dinobot you see in the trailer be
Swoop, but it didn't look enough like his G1 alt-mode, so
we changed his name to Strafe, after the Autobot Technobot.
CC: Poor Swoop. :,(
RFG: He doesn't get enough love.
SWQ: I also heard the Drift is going to have black
samurai armor like Transformers Animated Prowl.
That is true.
CC: Aww... No fair! I liked his white and red paint job!

WF101: Why didn't Ratchet fix anyone? Jolt did more medical
work than him!
Well hello to you too. Unfortunately, time constraints
kept us from showing Ratchet doing any real medical work.
WF101: Okay :)
[Wheeliefan101 has logged off]
RFG: That was fast.
TJM: You said it, lil lady.
RFG: I'm not little.

KXB-S-S: Why does the TF4 movie theater poster have
to be so dark? I was seeing Mr. Peabody and Sherman
yesterday when I saw it at MJR, and it was so freaking
dark! Why can't it be lighter?
TJM: I love Mr. Peabody and Sherman! :D
SWQ: Jazz, focus. :(
TJM: Sorry.
That's a good question. I'm not quite sure which version
of the poster you're talking about, but we were trying to
show that the storyline for TF4 was going to be slightly darker
than the other three movies. Things weren't going to
be all sunshine and rainbows.
SWQ: I personally think they spent their entire budget
on the CGI and had nothing left for the lighting :)
I take offense to that.
KXB-S-S: Are the Dinobots going to be good or bad? Cause
they had red optics in the full trailer, so I'm wondering
if they are Decepticons. Are they?
No. The Dinobots will be on the side of the
Autobots. Optic color is a good indicator of
allegiance, but it can also just be an indicator of
personality. Just look at Frenzy. He was a
Decepticon, but he had blue optics.
KXB-S-S: Cool! Thanks!

SlvrStrk: Hi. I noticed you at the internet café and
wanted to ask some questions of my own. My
question is, "why did you call the arcee twins the
acre twins and why not the races triplets. There is
three. Not two."
Silva glanced up from her laptop and surveyed the outdoor patio. Who could possibly know they were using this chat room? There didn't seem to be anyone suspicious looking, until she noticed the figure sitting at a table up against the wall of the cafe. They were dressed in black sweatpants and a baggy black hoodie with the hood pulled up. A white comedy mask covered their face and that combined with the ambiguous clothing made it impossible to guess at their gender. They were furiously typing on their phone in the corner and, as if they felt her stare, slowly turned to look at her. A shiver ran down Silva's back and she snapped her attention back to the computer.
Um… I think your spell check might be acting up,
but I'm going to go ahead and try to interpret that
as best as I can. If I get it wrong, I apologize.
You know, I'm not entirely sure why they were
called the Arcee Twins instead of the Arcee Triplets.
Honestly, it all got very confusing with the writers
wanting the Arcee Twins to be one consciousness and
me wanting them to be separate characters.
I: I'm still not happy with the way you treated
my Chromia, Punk.
I'm sorry, okay? It's just a movie! Geez!
SlvrStrk: "And, I don't care if yo distance is going to
kill me, but, can Bumblebee please die? It will
result in grate tragedy for most fangirls., I may
be one, but COME ON! He lives in every is ode he's
in. Either he isn't used, or he's used and doesn't die!
Have you noticed that, or is it just me? And no,
Goldbug doesn't count because he is still the same
character."
Um… That question makes me uncomfortable
with certain people currently here.
CC:…O-O
CC: No.
CC dumped her phone unceremoniously on the table and pointed an accusing finger at the person sitting at the corner table, "No! No! Get out!"
The glare she directed at the figure even made the Topkick behind her shiver in apprehension. No one messed with Bumblebee in that girl's presence and got away with it.
CC stood up from her seat, startling the other occupants of the outdoor patio, and started making her way towards the masked figure, shaking her finger at them threateningly. "Get out right now! Transformers Prime was bad enough! No! Go away!"
Silva stood up and placed a hand on her sister's shoulder in attempt to calm her, "Now CC…"
"No! Be gone ye demon! Shoo! The power of Christ compels you!" CC shouted, forcing Silva to wrap her in a bear hug in order to restrain her. The masked figure jumped up in surprise and backed away from the girl flailing in her sister's grasp shouting nonsense at them. The figure quickly turned around and vaulted over the wrought iron fence surrounding the patio and bolted down the street, "Yeah, that's right! You better run!"
"CC sit down! The other people are looking at us like we're crazy!" Silva hissed at her sister. Finally managing to calm her down, Silva smiled apologetically at the other patrons and turned her attention back to the chat room.

RFG: Hello? You guys still there?
I: They'll be back in a second. CC's just busy
chasing off some poor sap at the internet café.
CC: I can't even…
SWQ: We're back.
Anymore questions? I've got a meeting I need to
get to soon. So I can only answer one quick one.
RFG: I can't think of anything off the top of
my head. But don't worry, I'll have more prepared
for next time!
TJM: Nope. I'm good.
Okay. Then I've got to go.
SWQ: Sounds good to me. The manager of the café is
asking us to leave anyway because we're "traumatizing
the other customers".
CC: Yeah. But really? We're not even that bad! They should
be glad we didn't bring RANDOM FOX GRRL with us.
RFG: Hey! I resent that!

CC: Why does he always ditch us?
SWQ: To be fair, he did give us a warning.
CC: I guess…

A/N: So what do you guys think of the new style? Do you like how I put in parts outside of the chatroom or not? Let me know for future chapters! Also, should I change the formatting? I've been looking at it and it looks like it's a little hard to follow. Let me know what you think. If it's fine, I'll keep writing it like this but I can change it if you guys think it needs to be changed. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Also, I am still taking questions, so leave those in the comments too! If you've already asked a question but haven't seen it answered yet, don't worry I have plans! Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing! And a special note to Guest reviewer Silverstreak: What do you think of your cameo? As soon as I read your comment, the cogs in my brain started turning and this happened :)
