This Cannot Be Happening

Chapter 4: explanation

Bumblebee pulled up into the driveway of my house. I'm really glad my parents decided to get a house with a long and big driveway. The other 13 Autobots also parked in the driveway and I got out of Bumblebee. "Now listen, under ANY circumstance, DO NOT transform."

"Yeah yea, we got it." Mudflap says.

I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Here goes nothing…." I walked up to the front door and entered, immediately hugged by my parents.

"Shay, where have you been?!" Tim asks.

"We saw you on the news being chased by that…thing!" Susie says.

I yanked myself away from them. "Okay, not too many questions. That 'thing' that was chasing me…..was a Decepticon."

"You mean, like in the movie 'Transformers'?" Tim asks. He liked Transformers too.

I nodded. "They're outside right now in the driveway."

"The Decepticons?"

"No, the Autobots. The Decepticons are trying to kill me."

"Why?" Susie asks.

"Because they know I have the All Spark. But I buried it in the forest about 10 feet down. It'll be hard for them to find it." I explained.

Right then and there, my mom fainted. I paled. "Well, I was expecting that."

My dad put my mom on the couch. "I'm gonna go talk to them….be right back…." I left back outside. "Okay, I want you guys to quietly, drive around to the back."

"Why?" Jolt asks.

"Just because we're out in the middle of nowhere doesn't mean cars don't come by often." I replied.

They listened and drove around to the back. I followed. I rubbed my temples. "Okay, since my school has now been destroyed by Barricade, I can't go to school and tomorrow is Wednesday…….I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Didn't you kill Frenzy?" Bumblebee asks.

"Yep, that little fucker….."

"Way to go!" Jazz cheered.

I chuckled a little. "Yeah…..but right now, I'm going in and taking a shower and going to bed. Nighty-night…" I yawned and went inside.

……………………….

BEEP………….BEEP………….BEEP………………

SLAM

I slammed my fist down on my alarm clock and poked my head out from under the covers to look at the time. It was 6:30. "Meh, I'm going back to sleep………"

I laid my head down and sleep took over me.

Some time later, I woke. It was almost noon. Since it was almost November, I dressed in black jeans, a long sleeve black shirt and put a heavy sweatshirt on because I was FREEZING! I put on my shoes and headed downstairs.

"Morning Shay." Susie says.

"……." I sat down at the kitchen table and let my head hit the table with a bang.

"You okay?" my dad asks.

I gave a brief nod. "Just still shocked this is all happening……"

"Ashley called about an hour ago. She seems really worried." Susie says, sitting down at the table.

"I'll call her back later…." I sighed, grabbing the pot of coffee and drinking almost half. I whipped my chin on my sleeve. Damn, now I felt more awake!

I went out to my backyard, where the Autobots were. "Good mornin'!" Mudflap says.

"……I hate mornings…."

"It is close to 12:00." Optimus says.

"Whatever, Bee, can you drive me to my friend's house? I gotta talk to her." I ask.

"Sure." Bumblebee replied.

"Here, take this." Optimus handed me some kind of small beeping thing. "It's a tracking device, so we know where you are."

"Oh, this'll come in handy." I say as I get into Bumblebee.

……………..

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I was tackled down to the ground by Ashley. "OMFG! You're okay!"

"Yeah, I'm alright. Just a little sore." I replied, pushing Ashley off me. We both stood up.

"So, what happened? And was that a giant alien robot running after you?" she asks.

"Whoa there Ash! One question at a time. First, we're going to my house so I can introduce you to the other bots." I say.

"There's more?"

"Yep."

We arrived at my house and went into my backyard. "Guys, you can transform."

"But you specifically said we couldn't." Wheelie says.

"I don't care, do it."

They all transformed and Ashley's eyes were the size of saucers. "This is my best friend Ashley, Ashley these are the Autobots."

"Pleasure to meet ya little lady." Sideswipe says.

Then, Ashley fainted right beside me. I sighed, slapping my hand to my face. "I knew this was gonna happen…." I knelt down and snapped my fingers in her face. "Ashley, time to wake up."

She didn't stir. My eyes narrowed. "Damnit Ash, wake up!" I slapped her. She bolted right up.

"Who?! What?! Where?!" she looked around. "Oh….this is for real huh?"

"Yeah, for real……"

………………….

"In all, how many Decepticons are there?"

"From what I saw, there are at least 14, not including Frenzy. But, there is the biggest Decepticon of all, Devastator. He is really 7 smaller robots, but when they combine together, well….let's just say it ain't gonna be pretty." Jazz explained.

I put my hand to my chin. "14 Decepticons and 14 Autobots, fair."

"One of the Decepticons is called The Fallen." Optimus announced.

"The Fallen, what's that?" Ashley asks.

"The Fallen is actually compared to Judas Iscariot." He replied. "He corrupted Megatron into forming the Decepticons."

"And that's how the war started…." I say.

"Correct."

"What happens if Megatron gets the All Spark?" Ashley asks.

"The human race will be annihilated." Jetfire replied.

Ashley and I exchanged looks. "We are so screwed…."

I scratched my head. "I hid the All Spark in a good place. So, if the Decepticons actually managed to capture me, I'll just tell them I hid it somewhere else, like dumped it into the ocean or something…."

"We won't let that happen. If the Decepticons do manage to capture you, they'll torture you until you beg for mercy." Ratchet said.

"And they can tell if you're lying." Ironhide added.

"Well, it's a good thing I'm an expert at lying."
