A special thanks to thegirlwholoveswatchingmarvelmovies. The help with ideas is awesome. A super special thanks to theladywhoissuperepicatandiskindenoughtoeditmystory. This story would not fully exist without you. One question, how many of you readers think I know alot about hacking? Just curious. Oh. There's a picture on deviantart Titled Soundwave's New Pet. If there's a story for this picture then I want to read it. Also might not up date for a while but I am still writing. Not giving up!

Sorry for shortness and any OCCness my story contains. I don't own TF:P. If I did, humans would be involved in the final movie. I missed Raf. Now story time.

Raf limps slowly home from school, not bothering to go and play by the bridge. He winces as fiery pain twirls up his leg. A single tear slips from his eyes, dashing down his cheek as he continues walking down the road. Raf focuses on the fact that his house is only a little further down the street. More tears start burning against his eyes, hot and painful as a inferno. Raf holds them back vigilantly.

Vince had wanted money and Raf had forgotten to restock his emergency stash. Raf breathes sharply as he remembers the beating that ensued afterwards. The multiple kicks to his legs and chest had left nasty bruises. Raf feels them with every step he takes closer to home. A second tear dances around his barrier and slips down the side of his face. He wipes his face hastily, rage starting to build in the pit of his stomach.

When he enters the house, he moves as quickly as he can to to his room. His mother notices his odd behavior. Normally Raf would have said hello and stayed out after school longer. She frowns, wiping her floury hands on a spare rag in the kitchen. Mrs. Esquivel walks into Raf's bedroom right as he lifts up a pillow and hurls it across room. He sits down on his bed, curling into a tight ball. Tears of rage, pain, and sorrow flee from his eyes, dashing down his cheeks like runners that have seen the finish line. Sobs wrack his body causing the bed to shake beneath him. Raf screams into his knees, raging against the school, against bullies, and against himself. His injuries scream for him to stop shaking, but he cannot.

His mother walks over to him and sits down. Comfortingly she begins stroking his hair. Raf lifts his head, letting his voice ring out from his strained vocal cords. Sobs interrupted his words, but do not cause them to be any less angry.

"I hate it! No one wants to be my friend. Im the most bullied in school! Why do I bother going there? I hate my life!"

"It can't be all bad Raffy, you have Hack don't you?'"

" He's only on the computer. I never seen him, spoken to him in real life or anything. For all I know he could be a robot that's online!"

" You don't really believe that he's a robot, do you?"

"No…"

"Well to prove without a doubt you would have to meet him. Would that make you happy?"

Raf's mother smiles as her son stops his crying due to shock. She felt horrible for putting her son in a position that made him get bullied. All the injuries he had tried to hide from her in the past had been crystal clear to her. This is the first time he son had spoken out his inner feeling about what is happening to him at school. He looks up at her shock shining in his eyes.

"Are you serious Mom?"

"Very. If we can manage to convince him to meet you and it's in a place you both can reach that's public, I think it would be fine. I would be there to make sure nothing bad happens."

"Thank you mom!"

"Come on! Get online and ask him right now! "

"Im not sure he would be on yet. I normally don't meet him online till an hour after school. He normally gets on right after I do."

'No harm in trying, ?"

"Right"

Raf nods, half to his mother half to himself, then gets on his computer. He logs onto the chat room, hoping his friend will come. Gently he tugs on the hem of his shirt, fiddling with the loose strings. Three minutes later the username Lazerhack pops onto the screen.

-Why are you on so early Raf?-

-I wanted to ask you a question.-

-And that question is?-

-Do you want to meet in real life? Well, If we live near each other I mean.-

-You chose a place and I'll find a way there.-

-I dont want to cause you to travel a long distance just to see me, Hack.-

-Where Raf?!-

-Jasper Park, Jasper Nevada.-

-Soundwave, Decepticon-

Soundwave smiles at the recent turn of events. He stands quietly at his terminal, grinning at the thought of meeting Raf in real life. Well semi-real life. He is sending a hologram in place of a giant Cybertronian, deciding it would freak his friend out much less. From the data he had collected from research of human movies, typically a meeting of such would end horribly for both parties involved.

Two weeks after he had first started talking to Raf, Soundwave had realized that there was a very real possibility of the human wanting to meet him in real life. Upon having the thought, Soundwave began designing a holoform for himself. He had kept it in his quarters, hiding it from all others. Not that he'd ever tell Raf, he had traced where Rafs messages had been coming from. He stopped at the city level, not wanting Raf to notice some one tracking his internet messages. Being the super prepared boyscout Cybertronian he was, Soundwave had purchased a house on the outskirts of a city a little over five miles away called Mercury. This house was for the highly likely situation of Raf wanting to go to his house or asking where he lived. By shifting a few numbers around, he had created several bank accounts, that added together are filled with enough money to last him several human lives. Carefully he covered his tracks, taking care to edit the bank's history to make it seem like the accounts had always been there. This is where he got the money from to buy the house and the car he had. Finally, after doing all this work ,Soundwave had sent the holoform to the house for storage. Soundwave returns to the present and answers the message

-Thats not far from my house. Meet you there tomorrow at about this time. Is that okay with you?-

Soundwave begins planning what time he needed to turn in his reports tomorrow in order to get off duty in time. A ember of happiness dances its way around his spark as he sees the reply he had been hoping for.

-Yes.-

A pause and second message from Raf comes through.

-My Mom will be there, so don't think about kidnapping. Not that you were of course. How will we know each other?-

-Bring your yellow model car and sit on a bench with it. I'll find you.-

-How will I know its you? Some stranger might come up to me you know.-

-Your right. I'll come up to you and say I'm Hack. Easy enough?-

-Easy peasy.-

-See you there Raf.-

-Bye Hack. See you.-

Both log off. Soundwave nods his helm once and starts going into overdrive to get all his work done sooner. He would hate to be late in meeting the most fascinating human this planet had to offer. Lazerbeak grins mentally to herself, glad that she had advised her master when she had. The last couple of orns had seen her master happier than he had been in vorns.
