Chapter seven: How Sonny Shines
Aurora and I woke up and we were in our beds! We both were extremely confused. We walked out of the camper together to get some breakfast in Aurora's house.
Aurora pulled out Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream from the fridge. "Ice cream for breakfast?" I questioned her idea.
"What its good stuff? Besides I have all the supplies we need to make our own sundaes! Whipped cream, cherries, chocolate syrup, rainbow sprinkles, bananas…"
"Alright alright! But only under one condition…you let me get those cherries first!" I agreed.
"OH, YEAH!" Aurora exclaimed as she put a ton of whipped cream on her sundae.
While we were eating our ice cream, my autobot communicator went off again!
"Yeah, Bulkhead." I answered.
Hey, Sonny! I just wanted to talk to you about yesterday. Why didn't you tell me that you were going to sleepover at a friend's house?" he asked me.
"Bulkhead, I'm just going to go right out and say it…YOU'RE OVER-PRETECTIVE! I have a life besides you and the other autobots, you know?" I stated.
"Oh…I'm sorry, Sonny. Like I said before, I just worry about you, that's all. I don't mean to be annoying or overprotective!" he apologized.
"It's alright, Bulkhead. Look I have to eat breakfast…so…uh…bye!" I closed.
"So it wasn't just a dream! We really were with the autobots!" Aurora jumped out of her seat in excitement.
"Yep, I'm sorry that we wasted the time that we were planning to do our stuff almost getting killed by Decepticons!" I apologized.
"Are you kidding? That was the best sleepover I ever had! Can I meet them again?" Aurora asked as she jumped up and down.
"Well, at least you had a good time!" I said.
"GASP! You didn't?" Aurora sat back down in her seat.
"No, I didn't. I'd rather not have to worry every day about every turn I make could lead me to a giant robot that's going to kill me!" I exclaimed.
"You don't have to worry." Aurora said to me with a soft gentle voice I have never heard before.
"What? Why not?" I asked.
"Because if you rated the Decepticons intelligence and the Autobots intelligence between one and ten, the Autobots would be ten and the Decepticons would be negative ten!" she told me.
"Huh?" I wondered what she just said.
"Sonny, the Decepticons are idiots and you have the Autobots on your side!" She explained slowly. I knew she was right, but I didn't say anything only to keep my pride.
"Hey, girls! Did you have fun last night?" Aurora's mom came around the corner.
"Yeah, it was the best sleep I've gotten for a while. Excuse me, but I'm finished so I'll put my dishes in the sink and go back to the camper." I walked away from the table.
As I walked to the camper, I heard Aurora's mom saying to Aurora, "Ice Cream? Really?"
Once I was inside the camper, I began to attempt to pack all of my stuff that fit in my suitcase yesterday, but I think my suitcase either got smaller or I didn't have as much organization as I did yesterday.
I still couldn't believe that Aurora's and my night had been ruined by Decepticons!
I finally fit everything in the suitcase, but there was still one more challenge to conquer, zipping up the suitcase! I sat on the bag to squish everything inside so I could zip it up. Once it was zipped I got off of it as Aurora walked in. "Do you want to talk?" she asked.
"Sure, I'll start. I never wanted this. I never asked for this! Look, if those towers known as Autobots call, you answer it because I'm done!" I said as I handed the communicator to her.
I lay down on the bed covering myself with blankets and sure enough, the communicator started ringing.
"What now?" Aurora yelled into the communicator when she answered.
"We were wondering if you girls would like to come to base." Ratchet said.
"Um…I don't know. Sonny's going back home soon…" Aurora stated.
"Alright, I guess another time…"
"Okay, we'll do it!" Aurora interrupted.
"Bulkhead just left to pick you two up. He'll be there soon." Ratchet replied.
"Okay, bye-bye, Ratchet!" Aurora closed. I screamed into my pillow.
"What? I can't stay away from adventure! Besides, Sonny don't worry. Remember, Autobots: 10 out of 10. Decepticons: -12 out of 10!" Aurora reminded me.
"I don't want to go! I'm not going! You can't make me!" I yelled as I held onto the camper as Aurora was pulling me (by my ankles) towards Bulkhead.
Bulkhead was just watching us. I lost my grip off of the door frame and fell on the ground.
"Why don't you want to come, Sonny?" Bulkhead asked me as Aurora was dragging me to his car form door.
I got my cool and walked to him and responded, "I'm scared."
"Of the Decepticons?" he asked.
"Yes, but…" I paused.
"Yeah…" Bulkhead tried to make me continue.
"But…I'm also scared of you and the other Autobots" I said softly.
"Why are you scared of us?" Bulkhead asked as he transformed back to his normal mode and lifted me up in his hand.
"Duh, I'm small and you guys are HUGE! You have weapons! I'm just afraid that you'll turn on me. I've had nightmares about that. I don't even know why you need me anyways! What can I do that you guys can't?" I asked.
"Sonny, we'd never turn on you. You have to trust us. And you are special." Bulkhead assured me. He held me up to his chest and we hugged.
"Come on! Can we leave now!" Aurora persuaded me and Bulkhead to stop and leave. Bulkhead and I laughed. He put me down on the ground and transformed back into his vehicle mode. Aurora hopped in the front seat.
As Bulkhead drove a thought in my mind was spinning in my head, Tell Bulkhead about the Allspark! Go on and tell him, Sonny!
"Sonny, like I said before, you are special, and someday you are going to shine!" Bulkhead said to me. At that moment I couldn't hold it in any longer.
I then told him about the Allspark and how it went inside of me and how I escaped from the Decepticons. I also requested that he would pull over. Once he did, I stepped out of him, took a deep breath and transformed into an Autobot!
"You mean…you're one of them? Aurora gasped.
"Now that's how Sonny shines!" Bulkhead complimented.
