Chapter 4: The Truly Unexpected

~ Macey's POV ~

I.

Am.

So.

Fragging.

TIRED!

Never in my life have I've been so exhausted. Once I was done plowing the first field, Joshua made me do ten more. Ten more! Just how much land do these people own?! As soon as I was done, I didn't even transform back into bi-pedal. I just found a comfortable patch of grass, and quickly drifted off into recharge.

When my optics online again, I jumped, my engine quickly gunning to life as my processor whirled. What am I doing here? Where am I? And then, all the events from two days slowly sank into my mind, and I mentally groaned. Oh yeah, I was still stuck on this farmer's farm.

I decided to transform, and boy was that the wrong the worst idea of the fraggin' universe. Everything ached, and my systems were still stressed from being overworked and worrying about if I was ever going to be able to get off this farm. Also, my silver armor was coated in dust and dirt, along with the fact that I was still a tractor and was in desperate need for another vehicle to change into. Because I was not being a tractor.

I surveyed my environment; the sun was barely peaking over the vast fields, and it was quite cool, gentle wind blew the soft grassy field I passed out in. Bugs hidden in the fields were chirping and making noises and nearby birds tweeted. Faint stars could still be seen in the violet sky, and as nice as the sunset was, it only made me more depressed. Just another day I was away from the people I cared about. I wondered what would be going on at NEST right now, and I wondered if anyone remembered me.

I stared out at the rising sun, and suddenly, determination hit me. I may still be pretty weak, but at least I was able to transform and move. I could make it...I could try and find my way off this field, and try to find them. It shouldn't be that hard, right? Wrong. It'll be extremely difficult. But it wouldn't matter, because Primus gave me another shot at life and I was going to take it. Yeah, that was pretty inspirational.

Slowly I stood up, wandering over to the gate that separated me from confinement and freedom. Stepping over the gate, I transformed back down into the stupid tractor, and started off on my way down the long fields. I was just hoping I was going in the right direction.

~ Becca's POV ~

I was making my way back to the civilian's hall when I ran into Hazel. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Hey Becca, are you feeling better?"

I nodded, "Actually, I feel a lot better."

Hazel's grinned turned devious, "Good, cuz I want to take you somewhere."

I raised an eyebrow, "Where?"

Hazel just waved her hand dismissively, "Oh, just a party down at a place I heard some soldiers talk about. It's supposed to be really good, and I think it'll be the perfect thing for you; a distraction."

"I don't know...partying was never really my thing." I said nervously.

"Oh come on! It won't be so bad, trust me, it's gonna be fun!" Hazel said, emphasizing fun with her hands.

"I don't have anything good to wear." I tried to argue.

"That's fine, we can pick something out of my closet. I'm sure your my size."

"But what if-"

"Becca," She sighed, "This is a good thing for you. I promise, if you don't like it there, we'll leave. But could it hurt to at least try? When was the last time you've ever been to a party?"

I actually had to think back on that one. It was kind of sad really, I haven't been to any genuine party...if you didn't count Macey's birth-No. I can't think about her, it'll only make things bad again. It was starting to become increasingly difficult to not think about her when memories of her began to cloud my mind, and I had to shake my head just to focus on Hazel again.

"You know what, I think I do need the distraction after all." I said, scratching my head.

Hazel's smiled seemed to widen even more, if that was even possible. "Great!"

Before I could even say another word, Hazel grabbed my arm and dragged me the rest of the way there to her room, me laughing along the way.

~ Macey's POV ~

I did it! I finally did it! I made it out of the grassy fields! I even found a nice, but completely empty, road to travel on, which kind've sucks because I'm going ridiculously slow as a tractor and I was more than ever wishing I had my old body back. Or at least hope Primus was nice enough to have a nice, muscle car come by.

I've been traveling on this road for at least an hour, when all of a sudden, I started detecting other Cybertronian signatures. There was five of them, and they were heading in this direction. Where they coming for me? Excitement and relief flared up inside me, willing me to go even faster, which still wasn't even all that fast. But then I slowed again as my rational side kicked in. Wait...are they Autobot or Decepticon? I honestly couldn't tell, but I could hear the deep revving of quite a few expensive engines as the came closer, and the revving became louder. What the heck should I do?! If it's Decepticons, I'm completely weaponless and they'll kill me!

So what did I do?

Simple; I panicked.

Immediately, I swerved into the trees that rimmed the right side of the road, transforming sloppily and ended up on my back after the whole Fast & Furious attempt. I groaned, but had no other time to do anything, as they revving came louder and I quickly crawled over to the nearest tree, which was surprisingly thick enough to hide me from sight.

Five different engines were now distinguishable, and they all skidded to a stop a few trees in front of me. The familiar sounds of transforming filled the air, which made me even more nervous, and silently cursed Primus for not giving me anything to defend myself with. Because I could really use an Allspark energy cannon-blaster right now.

"The Cybertronian is somewhere around here, their signature is strong but unfamiliar." A gruff, yet very familiar voice spoke up in the silence. Wait, Ratchet? Was that Ratchet's voice?

Immediately perking up, I came out of my sad excuse for a hiding spot and around a few trees and shouted happily, "HEY GUYS, IT'S M-" only to be cut off by a huge cannon, burning brightly orange in my face.

I froze, my optics wide, as Ironhide's unmistakable cannons where whirring in my face, along with his unmistakable voice, "Freeze! Or I'll shoot!" Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

I held my hands up in surrender, still staring frantically at the cannons, before Optimus sighed and said, "Ironhide, lower your weapons."

"But she was trying to ambush us!"

I narrowed my optics at him, "Do you see any weapons on me? And if I was ambushing you, wouldn't I kind've want to bring more Decepticons along with me?"

Ironhide glared at me, "Silence!"

I smirked at him, "Make me."

Ironhide growled lowly, shoving his cannons an inch closer, "Watch it, femme."

Even with his hulking cannons shoved in my face I couldn't resist messing with him, it was fun. My smirk grew, before completely wiping off my face when I eyed Sunstreaker in the corner, near Sideswipe, with his blades raised and his bright blue eyes narrowed at us. My spark nearly jumped pout of my chest, and everything around me seemed to just fade into a blur in the background.

"Sunstreaker." My voice was barely a whisper, but being the advance alien beings that we are, they could hear me perfectly fine. And their optics all started to slowly drift over to him. His eyes widened in surprise, before narrowing into slits again.

"Ironhide, please lower your weapon." Optimus repeated, walking up towards us, but all I could do was stare at Sunstreaker like an idiot.

"What is your designation, femme?" Optimus asked, his commanding baritone voice snapped me out of my trance-like daze as my helm snapped towards him.

"What?" I asked dumbly.

"Your designation." He repeatedly gently.

"Macey."

After that, it was like there was a shift in the atmosphere, and all the bots stiffened visibly, with their optics wide open. Ironhide even dropped his cannons as he gaped at me.

"What did you just say?"

"I said Mac-" But I never really did get to finish that sentence, because I was interrupted by a feral growl, before I turned to see Sunstreaker charging at me, his optics were red.

It all happened so fast that no one could get to him, and one moment I was standing upright, and the next moment I was brutally slammed into the ground with a royally pissed off Sunstreaker on top of me. His long fingers wrapped around my throat, which immediately caused me to start coughing and wheezing, my fingers desperately trying to pry his hands off my throat, but his grip was too strong.

All the Autobots were still in stunned silence, but Sideswipe finally got out of it enough to run over to my side quickly, and tear his twin brother off me. Pulling him back while Sunstreaker glared, and snarled out rather violent death threats.

"Ratchet!" Optimus shouted immediately before turning to Ironhide, "Keep him back!"

Ironhide nodded without a word and went over to assist Mirage and Sideswipe to keep Sunstreaker from attacking me again.

This was definitely not the reaction I wanted them to have.

Wow, I feel really bad for Macey right now. Anyway, hoped you liked an please review!
