Hey guys!! So there's a few things I need to mention...Starfire will be using her avatar quite a bit because of her new mission. I'm not sure yet if Bumblebee will be using his...you guys can decide that. Also, I'm sorry if this chapter is a bit slow ... I'm trying the best I can. Haha I really don't want this story to turn into a mary-sue so I'm trying not to have Starfire jump any mechs just yet. =] But you'll learn more about Star's past and you'll even see Bee show some slight...and I do mean slight...interest in her. =]

Like always, review and enjoy!! Also, if you have any ideas of what should happen next I'll be more than happy to consider them. =]

The moon was bright and the stars danced around it. Star wished she could take in the sights of earth but she had a new mission to do…there was no time for fun right now. She was exhausted but she knew she'd be able to relax once she met up with Bumblebee. She drove along the long, lonely road, her holomatter avatar sat behind the wheel. It was getting close to morning and Starfire didn't want the humans to see a car driving around without a driver.

Starfire rolled down the window and felt as a cool breeze wisp through her hair. Starfire was unsure if she should transform when she got to Sam's or if she should just stay in her avatar mode. She figured it would just be easier to stay in her avatar form, as to not scare the humans.

After about 20 minutes, Starfire turned down a residential road, looking for Sam's home. She turned her head left and right, until she finally came upon the house. It was a fairly decent sized house, tan in color. There were a lot of bushes and plants out in the front. It was a gorgeous house.

Starfire parked in front and got out of the car. She stood there for a minute, just staring up at the house, admiring it. She walked to the front door and rang the doorbell. She turned her back on the door and looked down the street at all the other houses. It was quiet, pleasant. Star liked it here. She smiled to herself and continued to admire the homes of the humans.

The door opened and Starfire turned to see an older woman staring at her. "Uh…can I help you?" Star smiled at her, her avatar's dark brown hair falling back onto her shoulders. "Yes, I'm looking for Samuel Witwicky…" There were heavy footsteps running down the stairs and to the front door. "Mom! Mom! It's for me!" Mrs. Witwicky turned rapidly and faced her son.

"Well, she's here. And she's gorgeous….does Mikaela know about this?" Star let out a soft laugh and watched the two talk. "Yeah, mom she does."

Sam's mother turned back to Star and looked her up and down. "So dear, what's your name?" Her eyes looked at Starfire excitedly. "I'm…" Before Star could even get her name out, Sam yelled. "Mom! Don't you have to make breakfast or something?"

"Well, yeah…but…." Sam began to push his mother out of the doorway and into the kitchen. Star could still hear her talking to Sam. "…I just wanted to know her name…"

"Her name is Morgan, mom. Happy?" Sam ran back to the door and looked at Starfire. "I'm sorry but she can't know your real name just yet." Starfire nodded. Sam gestured for her to come in and Starfire did. She stepped over the threshold and sat down on the couch.

"So where is Bumblebee?" Sam down next to her and picked up the remote for the television and clicked it on. He started to flip through the channels, looking for something interesting to watch. "He's out in my dad's garage, resting. Did you want me to take you to him now, or should we wait?"

"We can wait. I don't want to disturb him." Star looked at the television. She was quite intrigued by it. As Sam flipped through the channels, she caught glimpses of sports, game shows, news, cartoons and even a few crazy reality shows. She sat back into the couch and crossed her legs, making herself comfortable.

"So, Sam … do your parents know about the autobots and decepticons?"

"Yeah, they do, actually. Last year they were attacked while they were vacationing in Paris."

Starfire nodded. She had heard the decepticons sent a large amount of cons to earth. The Fallen thought that he was going to finish what he started millions of years ago. Boy was he wrong.

"She just doesn't want any more of them in her house." Sam laughed a bit, recalling the shard incident. Sam began to tell Starfire about the incident that had only taken place a year ago. Star shook her head and laughed when she heard that Sam's poor mother was attacked by a waffle iron. "Well luckily for your mother…I'm Mikaela's guardian so I'll be living at her residence." Star flashed a smile at Sam.

Sam went to go eat his breakfast, while Star sat in the living room, watching the TV. "Samuel, you should have asked her if she was hungry…" Sam's mother walked into the room and looked down at Star. "Morgan, are you hungry?"

"Oh no thank you. I actually ate before I got here." Star smiled up at his mother and then turned towards the front door when the bell rang. A beautiful, dark haired girl stood in the doorway and smiled at Sam's mother. "Hello, Mrs. Witwicky. Sam still home?"

"Oh hi, Mikaela. Yeah, he's eating his breakfast. Would you like something to eat?"

"No thank you. I had my breakfast."

Sam's mother nodded and turned towards Starfire. "That's Morgan, a friend of Sam's. Did you want to sit with her while Sam eats?"

"Of course." Mikaela walked into the living room and sat next to Starfire. She waited until Sam's mom was out of earshot. "You must be Starfire…right?" Star nodded and extended her hand to Mikaela.

"It's nice to meet you, Mikaela." Mikaela shook her hand and smiled. She told Star it was nice to meet her as well. "So, do you know Bumblebee?"

"Yes, I do actually. I haven't seen him in such a long time though. And being up on Cybertron's moon, I was put on radio silence, so that we wouldn't be discovered."

"We?"

Star nodded. "I was stationed on one of Cybertron's moons with two other autobots. Sunstreaker and Wheeljack. You know Sunstreaker's twin, Sideswipe."

Just then, Sam walked into the living room and sat down beside Mikaela and gave her a kiss. "Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning, Samuel." Mikaela smiled at him and gave him a kiss back. Star slightly felt like a third wheel. "Maybe I should go see Bumblebee now?"

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry."

The three of them got up and walked into the backyard. There was a lovely little pathway and a water fountain. The backyard was just as beautiful as the front of the house. They walked over to a beat down looking shed, which happened to be Sam's father's garage. Did 'Bee actually like living in there? 'Oy…'

There wasn't a door to be opened because Bumblebee had broken through it when Sam had activated the shard. There was just a plastic tarp over it. Sam held the tarp up and the three of them stepped inside the garage.

There he was…the 2010 yellow camaro with black racing stripes. Star smiled at him and waited for him to wake up and transform. Starfire leaned up against a large rack with numerous knick knacks and tools. The radio came on and said "Good morning" …it was a voice from one of the many stations that Bumblebee had on his Sirius radio.

"'Bee…I assume you know what I'm supposed to be doing today? Optimus didn't really tell me anything else…he just told me to come here and talk to you."

Bumblebee transformed and looked down at Starfire. It looked to Star that he barely used his avatar. He nodded at her. He spoke, using various radio stations. "He said…to go….with…Mikaela."

"And just watch her?" Starfire cocked her brow and continued to look at Bumblebee. He looked so different. She couldn't even remember the last time seen on Cybertron. She did remember however the heroic thing he did for her.

--It was quite a long time ago…the decepticons were rising to power and their numbers were growing daily. She didn't even want anything to do with the war that was going on at the time. She remembered it very clearly. It was beautiful day on Cybertron. Her family was searching for an energon source. Optimus had sent her father on a mission to find energon. Normally he wouldn't think of bringing his family on a mission but he had no choice. Cons were attacking anyone who was in the city. Her father needed to get his family out of there but he didn't want to leave them. That's when it happened. And it happened so fast. Constructicons had launched an attack. Star's father grabbed her arm and dragged her to the nearest safe spot, which happened to be a dark tunnel. Her father was a part of Optimus' army, so he transformed and took off for the battle. Star's, her brother, younger sister and mother could see him perfectly clear, trying to fight off 3 constructicons at once. It was useless...within minutes he was ripped apart.

She saw the 3 decepticons coming towards her family. Her mother, brother, sister and herself were grabbed. Since there were only 3 Star was able to make a break for it, but she refused. She tried to help her family fight the cons. She kicked, punched, and even bit one of them. One by one her family fell. The 3 cons were now beating on Star. She cried out in pain, she didn't think anyone was around. She didn't think anyone would hear her. She knew she was going to die. Her systems were failing and they were failing fast, she was close to death. She had blacked out but she could still hear what was going on around her. Autobots had come to help her. She heard one of them call out for a bot named "Ratchet." Star's father was a fighter but she had never met any of his fellow soldiers...until now. As Ratchet worked, she heard the battle start to die down. After a few more minutes, it sounded as if it had ended. Her optics came back online and she looked up at her saviors. She saw 3 figures standing over her and a deep voice spoke to her. "You'll be alright; we're taking you back to the Autobot base." Star later learned that the bot that spoke to her was Ratchet. "Ratchet...we need to get her out of her fast...I'm sure Megatron is going to send out another strike force." This voice belonged to Ironhide. The 3rd figure didn't say anything just yet...he just stared at her. She later learned that this bot was Bumblebee and he was the one that spotted her being attacked...he was the one that truly saved her life. If it wasn't for Bee seeing her, she would be gone.--

Bumblebee nodded and explained to Star that she was going to play the same role as he did. He was Sam's guardian and all Starfire was really going to do was be a guardian to Mikaela. She didn't mind that one bit…she knew she'd be seeing action, since Sam was a wanted.

'Bee also explained to her about a man named Galloway. He told her that he was probably going to a thorn in their side. He had his eye on NEST since they began the secret program and he wanted them gone. He felt that Optimus and the rest of the autobots were doing more harm than good but he was very wrong. Galloway thought they by giving Sam over … the decepticons would just leave. Again…he was sadly mistaken. Thankfully, he didn't have a chance to hand over Sam.

"Should I leave now? Or are we doing something?"

"Well, we're going to find somewhere for me to stay….Optimus doesn't think its safe for me to stay at home anymore. I'll still be going to school but it's probably not safe for me to dorm there." That actually made a lot of sense. Sam wouldn't be safe at home … and neither would his parents. The faster they found a safe haven for Sam ... the better.

"What about Mikaela?"

"Well the cons don't really want me for anything … they're really just going after Sam. But I want to stay as close to him as possible." Sam looked at Mikaela and told her 'no'. He wanted nothing more than for her to follow him back to his college but he knew it wasn't safe for her. She put up an argument that Starfire and her could get an apartment close to his school and she would still be out of Star's way. Star and 'Bee just sat there and listened to them argue. Starfire thought it was a good idea but it was ultimately up to what Optimus thought was best.

"We really should see what Optimus thinks first…" Sam and Mikaela nodded in agreement. They had no choice. Starfire sent Optimus a message, asking what he thought would be best. He responded back saying he thought that Mikaela maybe should stay close to the base but he also wanted her to able to be close to Sam. Star had a slightly new objective. She was now going with Bumblebee and Sam to the east coast and Mikaela would be going to.

"Looks like we're going to have to a find an apartment, Mikaela." Starfire smiled at her and Sam. Sam seemed happy that Mikaela was going to be close to him but he was also afraid for her life. He didn't want her getting hurt. Bumblebee just looked at Star. He was looking at her the same way he did when he saved her.

"Let's roll out." Star and 'Bee transformed. Starfire used her avatar and sat behind the wheel. Mikaela got into the car with Starfire and Sam got into Bumblebee. From the looks of it, 'Bee wasn't using his avatar yet. They drove off, making their way to the east coast … to Sam's college.
