Disclaimer: It's very possible that Mrs. Bee and I might own Transformers in a different dimension. But in what about in this one? Hmm...*checks*...Nope. We still don't. Thanks for rubbing it in our faces, Hasbro!
A/N: Hey folks! Pie again!
So, as stated last chapter, we are seriously shooting for Sideswipe instead of Bumblebee now. We thank you for all your supporting reviews and messages! This chapter isn't as humorous as the last ones, and I cringed several times writing it, and I'm pretty sure Mrs. Bee did too. We had difficulty writing the fight scene, so we hope we did a good job. Thank Primus that Mrs. Bee has experience with fight scenes, as this is the first one I've written XD Anyway, hope you enjoy this one!
Summary: We were walking home from school, and I tripped on a crack in the sidewalk, dragging my sister and I down. Nothing happened at first, but the consequences were far more life changing then we first thought. Ratchet/OC, either Sides/OC or Bee/OC. Pre-RotF.
"I don't think mom would like if she found you were skipping class and accepting rides from strangers," Astrid said disapprovingly to her twin as they went down the road to school
"And that's why she isn't going to find out, now isn't it Astrid?" Dyani replied, "And if I'm correct, you skipped school also after walking out on the school shrink."
Astrid chuckled. "You're such a bluff."
"To everyone else, yes, to you, no," Dyani said, smiling wickedly.
Astrid looked at her twin then shook her head. "I can't believe that guy gave you his phone number. Oh, and remind me to kick Cree's ass today after school."
"Whatever," Dyani muttered, thinking about the confrontation the day before.
After school ended, Dyani stood at the exit by a parking lot waiting for her sister, who was supposed to be coming from the other side of the school. It was then that a familiar silver corvette sped up to her out of nowhere, slamming on its breaks in front of her. Dyani heard a loud commotion coming from the school behind her, and then turned her head in the direction of the noise. She hadn't even heard the car's door open when she felt a hand grip her shoulder.
"Dyani!"
Dyani turned her head quickly and saw it was Sides'.
"You need to get in the car, Dyani," he said urgently.
Dyani looked at him confused. "What? Why?" she asked.
"Just do it," he replied, getting more fidgety and impatient by the second.
"Why?" she repeated, louder this time.
Sides' gave her a frustrated groan. "I don't want to be mean or anything, but I'm not asking," he said firmly.
Dyani, being the stubborn girl she was, shook her head as he (gently) grabbed her arm to try and coax her in.
"No!" she exclaimed, shaking his arm off and turning around, "I'm not going to get in the car!"
It seemed that she spoke too soon, as the commotion from behind had become very loud crashing and screaming. She could just barely see what looked like a giant robot lumbering over the school in her direction. Terrified now, she screamed and couldn't get in the car fast enough. She didn't even have time to think before the seat-belt wrapped around her protectively and as the car sped away at an inhuman speed. Sides', who she didn't even realize wasn't in the driver's seat, suddenly appeared next to her.
"So," he said, his voice edgy, "you remember how you were telling me about those 'transformers' yesterday? And the Autobots?"
"Y-yeah," Dyani choked out, starting to panic.
"They're real," he stated.
Dyani looked at him, her eyes wide. "What?"
"Now, I don't know about the movie you were talking about, but the Autobots; they're real," he replied.
Dyani shook her head. "But they aren't real, they…" she trailed off. Sides' gave her an exasperated look.
It was then that everything came upon her in the form of an epiphany. Even so, she still refused to believe it. Besides, before she had the chance to really think about it, she remembered something important: Astrid.
"My sister!" she exclaimed, "She's still there!"
"I was already on it," the man next to her, she really wasn't sure who he was anymore, responded.
Dyani hadn't been paying attention obviously, because she hadn't noticed that he had rounded the school. The brakes slammed again, and the driver's side door opened quickly.
"Astrid!" Dyani cried, "Get in the back!"
"There's not enough time!" Side's yelled, grabbing Astrid's arm and yanking her inside to the driver's seat. He disappeared as the seat-belt trapped Astrid in with the door slamming shut on its own, locking automatically.
"What the fuck?" was all Astrid managed to say in the short time it happened.
Shocked, she stared down at the steering wheel as it moved at its own accord, as well as all the other controls. "Dyani! What's happening? What's this?" she yelled. Astrid attempted to drive care when Sideswipe's frantic voice said, from what sounded like nowhere, "It's okay, I got it, I got it!"
She tried to jump out of her seat, but the seat-belt held her down.
"Dyani, the car just talked!" she yelled at her sister. "What the hell is going on?"
Dyani shook her head frantically. "I-I don't know, he s-said something about the Autobots!" Astrid's eyes widened as she took in what her sister said.
"No, no it's not real!" she exclaimed.
"But you saw that thing back there, right!" Dyani yelled back.
Astrid grabbed her sister's shoulders. "It can't be real! It was just a movie!"
"Quit yelling! You're making it hard to drive straight!"
Astrid and Dyani stopped yelling, although they were far from calming down. They looked at the dash-board, both of them still unsure of where the voice was coming from. All they knew was that it was coming from the car.
"Where are we going?" Dyani asked, her voice a little quieter now.
"Don't know yet," the car replied, "but I have to get away from the school."
"Why?" Astrid asked.
"You'll find out in a second," was the response.
The car sped into a large, isolated field off the highway, that neither Astrid now Dyani had noticed they were on. The car slammed on its breaks, again, and the doors whipped open.
"You need to get out now," it said.
Astrid and Dyani both obliged and did so as quickly as possible. The both wanted to get out of that demon car ASAP.
But when they say what was coming at them, they froze and wished that they hadn't of gotten out of the car. Before they could scramble back inside though, the car itself transformed in front of them, slamming head on into the attacker.
Sideswipe whipped out his swords, immediately slashing into the attacker. His opponent fought back, countering Sideswipe's attack and throwing him off, then ran, much to the girls' dismay, towards them. But again, right before it got to them, Sideswipe rushed in between them and shoved it back. The assailant, however, took a hold of Sideswipe's lower arm and ripped it off, causing Sideswipe to cry out in pain. Sideswipe managed to use his other arm to slash the foe across its face, but was knocked back as he was kicked in the chest. His attacker then took that opportunity to shoot Sideswipe a couple of times, but right before dealing the fatal shot, his own gun was blasted off as two more of the robots (Astrid and Dyani were finally beginning assuming they were Autobots) came to Sideswipe's rescue. The assailant gave the two girls a hesitant glance, then transformed into a jet and managed to fly away before getting pulverized by the two incoming and obviously pissed robots.
Dyani and Astrid, meanwhile, were sitting down in the grass, huddled together, and petrified. One of the robots, after watching the assailant disappear, moved towards them, an innocently curious look on its face. Dyani recognized the yellow robot, but was too stunned to remember who it was. She did remember their defender though, and her eyes shot over to Sideswipe, who was lying motionless on the ground.
She quickly got up, and even though Astrid tried to hold her back, Dyani shook off her sister's grip and ran to Sideswipe. She stopped a few feet away from him, getting the awful feeling that he had killed himself on her accord. To her relief though, he sensed her energy behind him and he turned his head to look at her.
"Hi Dyani," he said weakly, a familiarly goofy smile stretching across his metallic face.
Dyani recognized him, and knew he was still Sides', the silly red-haired man she had met only the day before, albeit giant now and made of metal.
"Sides'?" she asked on impulse.
"Actually," he said, wincing a little from the pain but still managing to keep the smile, "my full name is Sideswipe, but you can call me that if you want."
Dyani, starting to feel light-headed, looked down as her balance began to sway.
"Oh," she said, he legs becoming weak now, "are you going to die?" (She would kick herself later for asking that, but right now she was too out of it to care)
Sideswipe wanted to laugh, but his injuries forced him to keep it down to a chuckle. "No, it takes a lot more than that to kill me," he replied.
"Good," she said, the world beginning to spin, "I don't want you to die." She turned to walk away, only to fall out-cold into her sister's arms.
Dyani woke up later, her head lying on a soft pillow. Come to think of it, she was in a bed. She opened her eyes to find it was a hospital gurney, but instead of being in a hospital, she was in a rather huge room, surrounded by 3 giant robots and her sister, who was sitting next to her gurney on a chair. She wasn't sure at first glance, but she soon figured out that she and Astrid were on top of a giant medical table, which was why the robots weren't towering over her like they had been earlier. She recognized one of the immediately as Sideswipe, the one that save her and her sister. He was sitting on another medical table across from them, looking a little worse for wear, but was still alive and was looking directly at her.
"What happened?" she mumbled, not really directed at anyone.
"You glitched," Sideswipe responded.
"…Oh." She diverted her eyes to the other two robots in the room, and now with her mind somewhat more relaxed than earlier, she recognized them as Ratchet, the Autobot CMO, and Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots.
She looked to her sister, almost as if for confirmation that this was all real. Astrid looked back, and she didn't even have to say anything as Dyani blacked out again.
A/N: So, what did you think? Was it too rushed?
Review please :D Thank you again to those that have so far!
