"So your saying that the statue transforms," I asked confused. It kinda made some sense what he was saying but not much.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying Cassie," he replied smiling down at me. I smiled back and just nodded.
"I understand thanks you. Um...is there anything else I need to know about...this?" I asked pointing to myself and glanced at my armor through the mirror.
"Um..yes. The scientists added a jet pack type of device. Go ahead and try it out," he exclaimed.
This seems like its going to be a lot of fun. I concentrated and two thin blades with rockets on them slid out of my back. This is SO COOL! I flew around for a while laughing, contracted my wings in mid are, and landed on my bed. Ultra Magnus chuckled at me having fun and goofing around. He sat on the edge of my bed and he talked to me until I fell asleep. He covered me up and walked out of the room telling me softly as he shut the lights off, "good night Cassie."
~THAT NIGHT~
I slept soundly until about 2:30 AM. I jumped out of my bed from a nightmare in my robot form with my plasma guns out and ready to fire. Ultra Magnus came in, "Cassie are you okay?" He held the Magnus Hammer in his hands ready to attack whoever tried to hurt me or him. I shut all my weapons down and turned back into my human form giving out a deep sigh.
"I'm fine...just a nightmare that's all," I exclaimed sweating from my dream. I sighed again and sat on my bed hugging my pillow. He sat next to me smiling.
"I might not know much about you or what you've been through yet, but I have a feeling that these nightmares are only temporary," he said calmly. This type of conversation doesn't help my nerves at all but the way he said it made me feel a little better. Was he growing on me? Well...that was fast.
"Thank you," I replied timidly, "that means a lot."
"I'm glad," he smiled standing and laying me back in bed. "Get some rest. Tomorrow I am taking you to the Autobot Academy to find you a guardian. You are going to come with me so you have a say, but in the end it will be my approval." I agreed and he left the room. I shortly fell back asleep thinking, and planning, that I would wake up early.
~THE NEXT MORNING~
I woke up to Ultra Magnus starring at me and I jumped up. "I'm sorry father I didn't mean to sleep in," the words blurted out of my mouth. He just smiled and I blushed realizing I had called him my father. "I...I'm sorry...I don't know your name."
He smiled, "you can call me dad, father, or Ultra Magnus. Either one is acceptable." It was weird calling him my father since I had always though of Ratchet as my father but...Ultra Magnus is...in a way.
I transformed into my robot form and skates came out of my feet. He had the advantage of a car and now I have the advantage of skates and a jetpack. This is way too cool! Why didn't Ratchet tell me about this before?! Maybe if I see him again he will tell me. If I remember I thought laughing. I wish I could see him again but since I was offline I don't remember where he lives. I'm sorry Ratchet, I guess I won't see you for a while. I followed Ultra Magnus out of the palace and skated behind him as he transformed and drove. Many Autobots starred at me but I didn't care. I was used to being starred at by now. I could see the Academy and watched as it came closer into view. As I got closer I could hear the voice of Sentinel yelling orders. This wasn't going to be a visit I would enjoy.
