(Thanks everyone reading! ? Thanks to some helpful advice, I'm trying to use better paragraph skills in this chapter, I'm really bad at it, so I hope it'll be better than the shoddy job I've been doing lately.)

It scared me, really, really scared me. I just watched my own death.

(Outside Juniper's Garage, Christchurch, New Zealand, Juniper's POV)

I decided that I would keep the vision to myself, I don't know what caused it, maybe I was going insane. I didn't want to worry anyone, that's the only thing I knew for certain.

I walked through the door to find the Autobots waiting for me, it was kinda weird, they were talking and when I came in they stopped and stared at me.

"Um, hey guys…" I said tiredly, I just wanted to hop into bed and sleep for orns. It was closer to morning than midnight.

"Hello Juniper." Said the deep commanding, but soft voice of Optimus. "You took a long time getting back, did something delay you?"

I nodded, "Yeah, there was this kitty stuck in a burning tree, then a dog came along and caught fire, then Sam came along and…" I trailed off because they were all staring at me like I was crazy. "And yeah…" I finished, much like Sam did.

Comet walked over to me and picked me up. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, like always. He put me down on my bed, which was on the second storey, so we could see eye to eye.

"I'm absolutely fine, just tired. So, um….. Goodnight!" I said brightly to them as I shut the curtain around my "room".

That night I dreamed about the past few days, excitement, anticipation, worry, happiness, anger and fear all swirled around my subconscious until I woke at 6 in the morning. I could see the first trails of pink and yellow in the sky, I had to admit, it was nice just to slow down and enjoy the sun rising and not have to think about anything but it at that moment.

I got up after a little while and got dressed into a white button up vest shirt with a pointed collar, a black miniskirt and a black tie. I frowned at the mirror; I looked like a schoolgirl, so I added some black arm warmers and a cute white ribbon in my hair. I still looked like a schoolgirl so I gave up, I was going to school anyway.

School was a killer, so boring; I was basically falling asleep the whole time. When it was over I almost sprinted to my car and drove home almost speeding. I, thankfully, avoided a ticket and drove into the garage, which was devoid of all life, Earthling or Cybertronian.

Sam was on the phone in the house so I want back to the garage and read one of my many books. It got a little boring after a while so I got up and was climbing down the ladder when the door opened.

"Hey Juni, I got great news!" Said an excited Sammie.

I smiled evilly, "What? They found you brain after it ran away again?"

He rolled his eyes. "Nope, it's still lost"

"That's a shame; you really should get it back."

"Oh ha ha. Anyway, I was talking to Mikaela and she said she's moving here with a friend of hers a week from tomorrow."

I smiled even wider, "Really? That's great! Who's her friend?"

Sam shrugged, "Just some old family friend, she's staying with him and his mom."

"Mum, Sam, not mom. Mum." I grinned, he hated it when I tried to make him sound like a Kiwi.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Sam sat down on a couch beside one of my benchtops. "What are we gonna do for the rest of today?" He asked.

"Dunno," I jumped off the last rail of the ladder, "Hang out, play video games, watch TV, just like the old days. By the way, have you seen the giant robo peoples? I came home and they weren't here."

Sam shrugged. "Probably just answering another world crisis." He switched on the TV, "Oh my God, Shortland Street is still going? How long has it been going? When will it end?!" He ended rather dramatically.

"It's been going since 1992, and going strong. So stop being so dramatic, it's an awesome show!"

"It's a soap opera."

"So?"

"They're girly."

"Shortland Street is not girly."

"It is so girly!"

I sat down beside him and punched his arm, "Whatever Sammiekins."

He hit me back, and so began the epic slappy fight extravaganza. There were a lot of 'meeeeh!'s and laughs, but I ended up losing and falling off the couch.

Sam looked around and scrached his head. "You know. This place is super clean. If I didn't know better, I would think a girl lives here." He always love teasing me for loving cars and hating most girly things. I will admit, I like wearing skirts and make-up and stuff like that. But that doesn't mean I can't like guys stuff as well? Right? Right!

I punched his arm lightly and walked towards my phone which was flashing and vibrating and blaring out Evanescence's "Together Again"

"Hello?" I answered cheerily.

"Juniper?" Comet's voice sounded worried.

"Com? What's wrong?"

"Well... Remember the shard of the Allspark that brought me back? And the same sorta thing that brought back Jazz?" Now he sounded sheepish.

I nodded even though he couldn't see me. "Yar?"

"Um... Well. The Decepticons are back and are looking for all the shards that are showing up on scanners."

I was silent for a second. "Are you telling me that a Decepticon could be on his way here now?" My voice was scarily calm.

"Yes, Juniper. That's what I'm saying."

Again, silence fell over the connection.

"Fuck."

"Juniper, you have to evacuate the property and get far away from there." He was in full battle mode now. No messing around.

"But won't they just track my car?"

"Um..." There was a pause in the battle mode.

"Comet! Seriously?"

"It was for your own protection. I've installed latest tracking-stallers and silent satellite transmitters."

I sighed. He was right. "Okay, does Sam come with me?"

Comet debated for a second. "Yes. It would be safer. Tell your father, sister and Sam's parents to go shopping or whatever it is parents and sister do."

I nodded again. "What should I take with me?"

"Do you still have that gun I gave you?"

I smirked. "Yup. Under my pillow, just like you taught me."

"Good. There's a destination on your GPS. Ironhide will be waiting for you."

I giggled, "I feel like James Bond or something."

"Get going!"

"Okay, okay."

We both hung up and I went to the ladder.

Sam followed me, "What's happening?"

"D-cons are on their way to kill us and steal the shard."

"Fuck."

I climbed up the ladder and went to my wardrobe. Picking out a black pair of tights, shorts and a long black t-shirt, I changed fast and added a waist cincher belt for comfort.

Grabbing the shard off my desk and the small gun from under my pillow, I slid back down to the ground.

I already grabbed my black high boot legged doc martens and ran out into the forest, Sam trailing.

I pulled on the shoes just prior to running into the house yelling for Sophie.

Now the thing is, she doesn't know anything about the giant robo-peoples. So when I told her to go shopping she was curious, but went anyway. All the adults had gone by now anyway. Sophie would take the dogs and find them, tell them to stay away till further notice.

I jumped into my car three minutes later, started it, and drove so fast Sam was screaming.

"JUNE! WHAT THE HELL!?!?!"

Despite herself, she cracked a smile and slowed to a much more reasonable speed.

"Better?"

He nodded. "Where are we going anyway?"

I checked the GPS for the first time. "The abandoned carpark downtown."

He nodded again. "So you've been through this before?"

"Uh huh, though last time, Comet was driving."

"Uh....Huh..."

We were both pumped up on adrenaline (or so we thought) and didn't talk much. Sam didn't even comment on my driving.

We got there within fifteen minutes and saw Ironhide in one of the upper levels. It's a good thing this side of town is deserted most of the time.

I hopped out of the car once we parked and started at the hulking mass of metal. "So. Now what?"
