Concerns
The rest of the weekend was passed in conviviality between the Autobots and the rest of the human allies. Joana was relieved in hear from old friends, they are in good health, which makes her very happy.
At night Optimus takes Joana and the other 3 humans, Cade Yeager, Tessa and Shane to her house, and when the four humans entered, Joana goes to the guest rooms and prepares everything in detail and Tessa helps the Lusa girl in everything.
Everything is done Joanna's guests are installed and very comfortable, when the two men enter the room, "Wow this is a room full of style.
Shane sits in the bed, "Miss de Vasconcelos you didn't need to prepare this for us." Cade look to the Irish boy, "he's right." Joana looks at the two men, "Always received well my guests, and you are no exception." The two look at each other, then Joana forwards Tessa to their respective room, "Miss De Vasconcelos you have hands of gold." She looks around the room, seeing that everything is organized. " The bed looks appetizing. " The Lusa girl look at Tessa, " You also contributed to that everything was in order."
When they are properly installed, all go into the living room, and Joana look for the three, watching Yeager sit on the couch, "gentlemen what you want to eat?" Yeager's stomach rumbled, "I'm sorry, I think my stomach spoke for me." Joana goes to the kitchen and Tessa follows her and the other two do the same, " All of you can sit at this table."
Joana takes two pans, one puts a quarter chicken and the other some eggs, and put in the stove to cook, then starts preparing the rest of the salad, which was included lettuce,corn, olives and onion, then goes to the fridge where takes some Portuguese ricotta, starting to cut it into small cubes.
Half an hour after she is already fraying the chicken to the salad and moments later cut the eggs in small cubes, mixing everything, then seasoned with oregano and Pennyroyal leafs.
Finally put the salad on the table, serving them, "enjoy!" All three have proven the salad, "Well this salad is so tasty and the scent ..." Joana take a bite, "is a Mediterranean Salad my friends." Tessa takes another bite, "I'd like to learn how it's done!" She just says, "I'm happy to teach cooking this dish.
And if you want some cooking lessons my mom can teach you. " Tessa's look lights, "seriously?" Joana nods "Yes really." Joana begins to collect the plates, and Yeager helps with the dishes, and puts everything in the dishwasher, then see Optimus's silhouette in his semi-mode, "But what is he doing here?" Joana ends in wash her hands, "since the Decepticons tried to kill me, he decided stay here to make sure that none of them hurt me again." He only responds, "Oh ..."
After the things are organised both go into the living room, "No smooching!" He scolds the young couple who's nestled on the couch, but the three hear a laugh, and they saw it was Joana, "Sorry, but that term is funny, but it's so old-fashioned." Then she yawns, "Sorry but I have to go to bed because tomorrow is workday." Tessa curious question, "does what Miss de Vasconcelos?" Joana sits on the couch, "I am a kindergarten teacher, pre-school work." Tessa continues, "Must be a very tough job." Joana explains, "at least psychologically, Tessa, but I love what I do." Cade look at the young girl, "it takes a lot of patience is not true?" The girl nod, "Exactly is a lot of work you know? The children are there only to learn as well as to socialize with other kids. " Tessa agree soon with her immediately, "and the ages you work with?" Joana responds, "4/5 years of age."
Then take a very hard expression, "a lot of people think the school serves to educate, but not quite." Shane asks, amazed at such a statement, "what do you mean, Miss De Vasconcelos?" He hears the girl exposing her point, "the school teaches and prepares children for the future, the duty of parents is to educate. There must be collaboration with the school if they want it work. " Cade pondered what he had just listened and indeed Joana is right, he always did his best to educate his daughter and collaborated with the school.
Yeager's thoughts are interrupted by Joana, "Mr Yeager, you should be proud of your daughter, because she always helped you." Cade raises an eyebrow, but smiled at her.
Joana starts yawning again, "well, you can be at ease, you have drinks and snacks on the fridge, you also can watch TV, some of the channels are Portuguese, feel free ok? so I'm going to bed!
Good night! " She leaves the trio relax some more, while going to her room.
"I like this girl!" Tessa look at Shane," What?! She's a nice woman, received us well!" Cade look at him, and then through the windows, seeing Optimus's form parked outside," She's very beautiful and talented not to mention, she's very humble." Then he smiles while looking to the Irish boy, "You know Lucky Charms, I barely know our hostess, but I feel that Prime feels something for her." The young couple look at him, " Father you are crazy?! A Transformer and a human how can that be possible?!" Cade says," I am a hopeless romantic, and it's possible Tess." The girl raised her brow," How you know that?" Cade surveyed all the place," Look at the photos." Tessa picked one, and saw Joana and Jazz happy," He is on human's size." Cade smiled," See? It's possible, and their love was pure." Tessa sighs and then look at her father, "You're right, it's possible." Shane grabs Tessa's hand," It's too much time for a person suffer alone, it's weird but if Optimus likes her, so be it, Miss De Vasconcelos deserves to be happy." Cade never expected hear that from the Irish boy, but agreed with him, "Not bad... not bad at all, Lucky Charms." The three stayed at the living room for a bit.

The next day Joana gets up early, take a shower getting ready for work. When arrives to the kitchen, saw Yeager preparing breakfast, "good morning Miss De Vasconcelos!" She goes to the fridge and get a milk carton, "good morning Mr. Yeager, did you sleep well?" He puts the bacon on the table, "Yes, I slept." He notices that she doesn't eat bacon and eggs, "don't you eat the breakfast?" Joana continues preparing a sandwich, and the milk, "never eat fried food in breakfast , too bad for my stomach." Yeager realizes soon immediately, but continues to hear her, "in my hometown or further north, breakfast is usually fried meat, and some people drink wine or coffee with milk, but who takes that kind of breakfast are people who works the land,farmers." he notices that she has a thick accent , probably due to her country of origin, because when entered at home, saw the flag of her native country as well the emblem of her soccer club, but nothing says, "I just want you to feel at home." Says Joana while gives him the house keys, and Cade thanked, then drink a little coffee, however Joana grab her backpack going to her work.
The week is very laborious due the preparations for the Christmas party, there are many details that must be taken into account because everyone wants everything in order.
Joana makes one last rehearsal with her children on Tuesday, she doesn't want them to be nervous for the party.
On Friday appears Optimus using his holoform, John welcomes him, "good to see you again..." Optimus responds while shakes hands, "Optimus". John raises an eyebrow but says nothing, but know he is a good friend of his collaborator, "what got you here Optimus?" The Autobot Leader exposes him what he wanted to do, and John agree soon immediately, "I suppose you want see Joana is not true?" Optimus responds, "Yes I want." John gets up from his chair, left the office with Prime, and both go towards Joana's Classroom, which doesn't take long.
Joana is on a ladder to put some works on the wall when he hears, "Joana you have visits." She looks down in awe, "Prime what are you doing here?!"Optimus sees Joana's reaction, "I want to offer my help in whatever you need." Joana descends from the ladder, "I see." However John stow the ladder, what captures the attention of the Portuguese girl, "I will put it on its place!" John says, "talk to him ok? I'm taking this. " Moments later he goes straight for the pantry.
Joana takes him into the classroom, "Why you came here Prime?" The Autobot Leader shrugs a bit," I wanted to know the place where you work." She smiles while put the adhesive tape on her desk"I suppose you chated with John a bit?" The Autobot leader replies, "Yes. I asked him if I could help all of you on your Event." Joana holds his hands, "will be welcome, there's a lot of work to do!" One of the girls saw Joana and Optimus holding hands laughing, "Professor Joana got a boyfriend!" The other children take the leave and surround the two, "he's big!" A little boy says, "I bet they Kiss!" Joana begins to blush to hard, Claire is laughing, "Oh Joana you didn't tell me anything." Joana starts to get embarrassed, "Children Optimus is just a friend." He crouches smiling at the kids, "we are not yet lovers, just friends!" Claire sees Prime interact with the kids, "you know Mr. Prime you'd make a great father." At that very moment Prime's holoform blushed.
Children are forwarded to the respective working tables, "Let's let teacher Joana chat ok?" One of the girls yells, "they're getting married?" Joana blush once again, and to be able to chat quietly back into the hallway, "never mind, they have a lot of imagination!" Optimus devalues, "don't worry, they are just sparklings." Joana gets more serious, "what are you doing here? It's not just your help that you are offering. " Optimus gets more serious, "I am very worried, the Decepticons are active." Joana puts her hand on her chin, "is quite troubling Optimus." The Autobot leader nods, "that's right, we feared they strike during your celebration." Joana crosses her arms, she is worried, fears that all children can be injured in a possible attack or that parents can panic, "Optimus I suppose you have your men on the ground." He sighs, "Yes, Hound and Sides, they are investigating a possible sign." Joana sigh of relief, "thank goodness." Optimus advises, "Be attentive for any anomaly." Joana responds, "we will."
Claire approaches, "Joana you'll always assemble the scenarios tomorrow?" She replies, "Yes, it is to be around 9pm, right?" Claire responds, "Yes." Optimus hears the conversation of two women until he hears his name, "Optimus will also help build the sets or fill balloons." Then turns to him, "you don't mind do you?" The Autobot Leader responds, "no problem." Joana begins to have an idea, "your vehicle-mo ... oops, I mean your rig has enough space to carry all of our material without the crumpled!" Optimus takes the cue, "Okay, I will take your material to the Auditorium you rented." Joana embraces Optimus, "thank you!" After being all set Optimus left going to have with the other Autobots, to redouble the vigilance.
At night all colleagues assembled the scenarios and at the same time had diversion through due Optimus's presence.
"I just tell you girls, Optimus is a beautiful specimen." Optimus doesn't know anything, "who would give me a nice ride?." Joked Kathy, all looked to her, "What? I didn't say any lie! " Joana raises an eyebrow but continues to hear, "I've always liked cool Trucks and Optimus has one so radical." Joana unleashed a laugh, because her colleague fooled the others due to her speaking ways, "I envy Joana because Optimus is always giving you rides." Optimus looks at his friend shrugging, "you can't learn anything Prime." Around 11pm everything is properly organized.
On the way home.
"I never thought my holoform did success among human females." Joana look at the wheel, "you ain't seen nothing yet. My colleagues loved you. " Then adds, "just hope you show up at the party." Then look for the wheel waiting for reply, "Yes, but we must also ensure that the Decepticons do not appear here." Joana realizes it immediately. " I pray to God that all goes well. "
He notes that she is very tired, "why you don't recharge?" She looks at the outside through the window , "we're almost at my house." Optimus just tells her, "you're anxious because of the event that you are up to?" Joana sighs, "with everything Optimus." He just says denoting concern in the voice, "I know, but at this point I just want you get some rest." Joana doesn't know what to say, " today you stay here resting, I communicated with Bee to warn Yeager you won't sleep at home." Joana argues, "But I need to get ready for the party tomorrow." Optimus sighs, "Rest... everything will be fine." She sighs, "All right, you win Prime." He just says, "I just want you to be safe, because you're a target to the Decepticons." Then he adds, "you can go to my sleeper." She rises heading to the said sleeper, just to get a blanket that is in the little bed, and back to the front, " I stay here Optimus." And lies down on the seats, mumbling, "Goodnight and thank you very much." And falls asleep.
Without her noticing, Optimus's his bipedal and caress her hair, "Rest, I will be here." Then the holoform disappears and he darkens the windows and moments later goes into recharging mode.
Joana feels that is in complete safety, knowing that nothing and nobody will disturb her during sleep.

In another point of the city
"Things are prepared?" Galvatron asks, "Yes my liege." Answer one of the subordinates, "Every one of our men are placed at strategic points, the human will not escape!" The Decepticon leader's eyes are closed, "who ensures the success of the attack?" The other swallows in dry, "your plan my leader." other of Galvatron's men stands out, "the Autobots are guarding the human's House as well watching the surroundings.
They watch the human, every of her movements my leader and for the record, Optimus Prime protects the human, do everything in his power for just to protect her. "Galvatron begins to get angry, because nothing is going according to plan, then begins to unload in their men.
"OUR PLAN CAN'T FAIL! DESTROY THE AUTOBOTS, KILL THE HUMAN FEMALE! " The others tremble with fear, they know if things fail, there will be a fate far worse for them.
Elsewhere two souls, a human and one mechanical rest undisturbed, the next day is going to be very rocky due to the Christmas party and to a possible attack by the Decepticons.
Cade knows something? Perhaps the love is blossoming between Optimus and Joana.
By the way the Portuguese cuisine has Pennyroyal on their recipes, I love to add in soups and salads.
Stay tuned for the next chapter.
