Chapter nine: Another friend finds out!

"Goodnight, sweetheart." Dad said as he kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight, Dad." I said to him.

"Did you remember to brush your teeth?" Dad asked me.

"Yes…" I told him.

"Really, because I didn't see you brushing your teeth!" he stated.

"I remembered…I just didn't do it yet!" I said as I walked to the bathroom.

I came back to my room once my teeth were clean and Dad was waiting for me. I lied down in my bed and my little sister, Rose was asleep already.

"Did you have a good time at Aurora's yesterday?" he asked me.

"Dad, when do I not have a good time at Aurora's house?" I stated.

"Ha-ha! I guess you're right. Goodnight, Sonny."

"Goodnight, Dad." I told him as he turned off my light and shut the door. I was in my bed feeling that at any moment a Decepticon would pop out of nowhere! I'll never get a good night's sleep! I thought.

I then put my head don on my pillow and fell asleep.

When I woke up, birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and my big sister, Edith drug me out of my bed to get me up so we could get to church on time(for once).

Going down the stairs with my Sunday dress on, I ate breakfast in a flash and I was out the door in ten minutes. My Dad drove the seven of us. That's right. We have a big family!

First, there's Dad. He's the pastor of our church and because we're a pastoral family, I get made fun of at school. They say, "Hey, I took this apple, oh, I should put it back! Right, Moses!"

Second is Mom. She's no ordinary house wife, but she's also the mother of five very energetic kids! We make her life hard sometimes, but she loves to watch us mature.

The first born child of our family is my sister, Edith. With her brown hair and sea blue eyes, she looks calm, but there are a few times when she has nervous breakdowns! She's going to collage soon, but I'll miss her when she's gone.

The second and third born are my troublesome twin brothers, Grady and Brady. Grady just annoys people for the enjoyment of it while Brady tries to keep his two minute older brother from hurting people's feelings.

Then a year after the twins, I was born. I'm the type of girl that has style, but still some game. I usually play games with the twins, but mostly with Brady. Grady doesn't care to play with a girl like me. I do anything to get into adventure, but once I'm in it, I do anything to get out of it!

Last, but not least is my little sister, Rose. We get along pretty well as long as she doesn't get into any of my stuff! Amazingly, my five year old sister and I are ten years apart!

When we got back from church, I had to eat lunch quickly because a friend of mine was coming over. Her name is Abby.

Abby is deaf which means she can't hear. She and I sing each other in order to communicate with each other, otherwise she reads lips. Abby taught me sign language in our earlier friendship. Abby and I love to draw each other all the time.

I hurried upstairs in my room to finish cleaning it. I thought to myself, this is one day that the Decepticons are not going to ruin for me! I heard the doorbell ring and I ran downstairs. It was Abby. We signed "hello" to each other.

We went to my room and we signed each other for a while. Abby noticed that every five minutes I was looking out the window. She signed, "Are you waiting for someone?"

"Yes." I signed.

"Is it someone I know?"

"No you don't know them." I told her. She read my lips and asked me, "Why don't we go downstairs?"

"That sounds fun!" I signed excitedly.

We both walked downstairs and no one was there!

"Where is everyone?" Abby signed me worried.

"They went to a wedding." I told her.

That explains it!" she said.

We played checkers for a while and I got tired of losing so I suggested, "Why don't we go for a walk? There's a beautiful woods nearby."

"Okay." She said as we got our shoes on.

She and I walked in the woods for a while having fun signing and talking to each other, but then I noticed it was sunset!

"Oh-no! We need to get to my church! My Dad will kill me if I don't get to church on time again!" I signed to Abby. We started to run out of the woods when Abby felt the ground shake. She stopped me from running and looked scared. I felt it too! We turned around and there was a Decepticon drone!

"Not again! Come on, Abby! I yelled as I grabbed her hand.

We ran to a tree and climbed up it. I was hoping the Decepticon wouldn't see us.

"What was that?" Abby signed to me.

"It's called a D-e-c-e-p-t-i-c-o-n." I spelled in sign language. (There is no sign for Decepticon)

She looked terrified as she should be. Seeing a giant robot for the first time is nerve-wrecking!

The Decepticon saw us in the tree. We jumped from the tree and on the ground as the Decepticon knocked over the tree we were in. We ran as fast as we could away from I as I reached in my pocket for my communicator, but I realized that I left it on my dresser in my room!

"We have to get to my house. It's the closest safe place!" I signed to her. She nodded.

We found our way out of the woods and ran inside my house. I grabbed my communicator and called the Autobots.

Ratchet had to pick us up because the other autobots weren't at base. He wasn't happy too happy that he had to pick up "children!"

I looked over and I saw that Abby was still freaked out about that Decepticon.

"Are you alright?" I signed.

"That Decepticon really scared me!" she said.

"I know, but you don't have to worry. The A-u-t-o-b-o-t-s will protect us." I signed. She nodded in agreement.

"Abby, you don't have to fear over that little Decepticon! There are bigger and taller ones." Ratchet said not knowing that Abby couldn't hear him.

"Ratchet!" I yelled at him.

"Alright, we're here." Ratchet opened his doors so that we could get out.

As Abby hopped out of Ratchet, she signed with excitement, "This place is HUGE!"
"I know!" I signed back.

We arrived just in time to see the rest of the Autobots come through the groundbridge. Abby went behind me in fright.

"It's alright, Abby these are the guys who will protect us!" I signed to her.

"What are they doing?" Arcee asked.

"I don't know. They were doing it when I drove them here, too." Ratchet stated.

"It's called sign language, guys. You see, Abby is deaf. She can't hear. So we talk to each other through hand motions that mean words." I told them.

"Ah, very cleaver!" Ratchet stated.

"Sonny, would you please tell Abby this?" Optimus knelt down to me.

"Sure." I responded.

"Abby we are glad to have you on our team. I assure you, we will do everything in our power to keep you safe from harm." He said epicly.

Once I was done signing what Optimus said, Abby ran to him and hugged his foot.
