A/N I really have nothing to say besides thanks for reading and reviewing!
Oh, and sorry for the long wait. I had testing last week and haven't really been in the mood to write.
Ch. 9 Holiday Part 2
Pursing my lips, I turned and walked out of the twins' room. Well now what? Sighing, I walked down the hallway, thinking of what I could do. I had no idea where the twins were, or any Autobot for that matter.
Then, I remembered Ratchet. He was the medic, so he must be in the medbay, right? It seemed logical to me.
I smiled to myself and continued onward towards the medbay. Ratchet had to know where the twins were, and if he didn't, he could contact them by comlink. I am soo smart.
The medbay door slid open, and I stepped inside. Ratchet didn't look up from his spot when he snapped, "That better not be you, Sideswipe. I just patched you up!"
I flinched a bit at his sharp tone, but recovered quickly. "Uh, no it's just me."
He looked up momentarily and grunted. "What do you want?"
"Um, do you happen to know where Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are?"
"I believe Optimus put them on monitor duty."
"Could you take me to wherever they are?" I saw Ratchet frown. "Please?" I added.
Ratchet sighed, stopped what he was doing, and came over to me. I grinned triumphantly as he put a hand out for me. "Any particular reason you want to find those two?" he asked.
I shrugged, "I'm bored."
It turned out that the monitor room wasn't too far from the medbay.
Once inside, I saw the twins sitting and staring at a screen. The both turned their heads toward the door and grinned.
"Ratchet!" Sideswipe said, while getting up. "How nice of you to come and take over for us! Well, Sunny and I will be going now-"
Ratchet cut him off. "Hold up, I'm only making a delivery." He pointed down at me in his other hand.
I waved at the twins. Sideswipe looked down at me, "Oh." He seemed a bit disappointed that he still had monitor duty.
Ratchet placed me on the desk and left without another word. Sideswipe had returned to his seat, and sat down with a sigh. "Why did we have to get stuck with the most boring job ever?"
Sunstreaker snorted, "'Cause we weren't supposed to have a human to babysit."
"But now ya do," I put in.
He rolled his optics. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious."
"No problem, Sunshine," I replied with a smirk. The twins resumed looking at the monitors in front of them. "So, what exactly are you doing?"
"We're looking out for any Decepticon activity," Sideswipe replied.
"Oh." I wrinkled my nose, "Sounds boring." The twins nodded in agreement.
Sighing, I sat down on the table and rested my chin in my hand. My eyes were staring intently at the same screen that Sunny and Sides were watching. It looked like a map of… somewhere. The desert in Nevada, I guess. There didn't seem to be anything really strange about it, so I didn't focus much on it. Instead, I let my mind wander into la-la-land.
No more than fifteen minutes had passed, and I had laid down on my back. I was looking up at the ceiling when I let out a loud sigh. "I'm bored," I declared, also rather loudly.
"Wha?" Sideswipe replied groggily. I lifted my head slightly to see Sideswipe sit up and stretch his arms.
"I said, 'I'm bored'."
"Well, what should we do then?"
I thought for a moment. "I dunno." Pausing, I waited for one of the twins to say something, but they both stayed quiet. I frowned and said, "I want to do the Easter egg hunt, but… there's still like hours until that."
"What the slag is that?" Sunstreaker asked in an annoyed tone.
Suppressing a groan, I replied, "Why don't you look it up? You guys have access to the internet, right?" The twins nodded. "Good, so use it!"
After a few moments Sunstreaker scowled, "It seems a bit childish… and stupid."
I narrowed my eyes at him, "Well, you can think what you want about it, but I'mgonna do it. And I'm pretty sure Sam and Mikaela are too…and probably Glen." Sunstreaker merely snorted in response, so I laid back down in a huff. I wiggled a bit, trying and failing to get comfortable, and closed my eyes.
Ding!
My eyes shot open. Idea alert! I sat up quickly with a wide grin on my face. "I just had the best idea ever," I proclaimed to the twins.
"Oh yeah?" Sideswipe remarked.
"Oh yes indeed," I replied while clapping my hands together. "All of the Autobots should join in on the Easter egg hunt!"
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker just stared at me.
Narrowing my eyes, I continued, "C'mon! What better way to learn about humans than participating in things we do? It'll be fun!" The twins shared a glance before shrugging.
"Sure," Sideswipe said. "Why not?"
I threw my arms into the arms. "Yes! Score one for the squishy!"
I felt my eyes start to close, but I opened them quickly to try and wake myself up. Glancing at my cell phone, I saw the current time. 11:47 I suppressed a groan, and put my phone back into my pocket. The twins and I were still in the monitor room. Monitoring what, I didn't know, since there was absolutely nothing happening.
Even though only an hour had passed, it felt more like five. School feels shorter than this. Sideswipe had fallen asleep a few minutes beforehand, which left me and Sunstreaker. We had tried to talk, but quickly became silent because, well, Sunstreaker sucked at small talk. Not that I really liked small talk to begin with.
My mouth stretched wide in a yawn. I was in a sitting position, but readjusted to lying on my side. I felt my eyelids begin to droop again. I'll just close my eyes and rest…The last thing I heard before falling asleep was a faint snoring noise coming from Sunstreaker.
My eyes shot open at the sound of a scraping noise. I sat up quickly with a groan. I realized that I had fallen asleep. Wait, what was that noise that woke me? My gaze drifted over to the twins. It looked like Sideswipe had shifted positions slightly.
What time is it?
The clock on my phone read 1:32. I had to let the time register before I could do anything else. My eyes widened when I remembered. We were having an early dinner at 2 o'clock.
I got up and stretched, hoping that it would wake me up a bit more. Even though I had taken a nap, I still felt quite groggy. While rubbing my eyes, I walked over to the twins' heads, which were resting on the desk.
"Hey, time to get up," I said.
They didn't move or respond.
This time I raised my voice, "Wake up!"
Sideswipe mumbled a bit, but made to move to get up.
I narrowed my eyes, got in front of Sideswipe, and kicked him in the head, "Get up you lazy bums!" There was a dull pain in my foot after it made contact with Sideswipe's head. Damn, that actually hurt.
Finally, Sideswipe lifted his head and onlined his optics. "Hmm?"
I smiled and said, "Good, you're up. Now can you wake Mr. Sunshine over here?" Sideswipe leaned to towards his brother and gave him a hard shove, almost causing him to fall out of his chair. Sunstreaker's optics onlined quickly, and he caught himself before falling. He turned and growled at Sides, who in return just grinned.
"Now that we're all up and accounted for," I said, "Let's go!"
The twins looked at me in confusion. "Go where?" Sideswipe asked.
"The rec room, of course! Where else would we go?"
"But, we have to watch the monitors."
I pointed to the screen behind me, "Does it look like there's anything wrong?"
Sunstreaker stole a glance at the screen, "No-"
"And has there been anything wrong for the past few hours?" I asked, cutting Sunstreaker off.
"No."
"Then, let's go!"
We entered the rec room, to find it filled with the other Autobots and people. Sideswipe put me on the ground near the other people, and we began to talk a bit.
Judy was telling me about the first time she met the Autobots, and how she screamed her head off. I laughed, and told her a bit about my first encounter with the Autobots.
After we finished with our stories, Judy drifted away and I stood off by myself, looking around the rec room. I studied each of the Autobots carefully, trying to take in as much detail as possible. It was amazing, really, to know that they were so complex. They were really very similar to humans in that way.
I snapped back to reality when Judy and Sarah stared the Easter egg hunt. To my surprise, everyone joined in. Yes, even the Autobots. Although, the Autobots just pointed them out to us, since they didn't have an interest in candy.
When the egg hunt was over, all of the humans went to the dining room for an early dinner.
The smell of the food reminded me of my family back in California. They were probably eating right then, too. I sighed, hoping that the Decpticons would just leave my town alone so that I could go back. I was starting to feel homesick, and wanted nothing more than to just curl up in my own bed.
A few minutes after we began to eat, we were interrupted by Jazz. "Yo," he said, gaining our attention. "There's somethin' that everyone needs ta see."
Frowning, I got up and followed everyone else out to the rec room. There, everyone was picked up by an Autobot. Sideswipe stooped down for me, and placed me on his shoulder. "What's this all about?" I asked him.
Sideswipe shook his head, "Dunno."
"I bet it has to do with the monitors," Sunstreaker put in.
It turned out that Sunstreaker had been correct with his statement. It did have to do with the monitors.
Jazz nodded in the direction of the screen that the twins and I had been watching earlier. "This is what ya needed to see."
Cliffhanger! I'm so mean… but don't worry; the next chapter should be up within a day or two. That's why it took me so long to get this one up. I got distracted and began to write the next chapter. And I can guarantee that it has ACTION.
So, sorry for the crappy chapter :P I don't like this one very much, but it will have to do.
TF:A Stuff (no Endgame, because it would be too long)
Human Error Part 2: Wreckgar! Yay, he came back! I was afraid that he was just gonna be left in the ocean forever.
Soundwave was cool, although the guitar thing was weird. I mean, really? Guitars?
Decepticon Air: Really only one thing needs to be said for this; SWINDLE'S BACK, BABY! Woot! He is soo friggin' awesome! Thank you Sentinel for flying through that electric storm!
Gah… Sentinel as the Magnus? Cybertron is doomed… might as well wrap it up in a bow and hand it over to the 'Cons.
This is Why I Hate Machines: GRRRR! I hate Sentinel! Why can't he just listen to Perceptor and Alpha Trion? THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING!
And the Jet-twins! Gosh, they need to start thinking for themselves.
Oh yeah, Ratchet took the hammer! In yo face Sentinel! And Jazz went to Earth! Ha!
So yeah, I'll talk about Endgame Part 1&2 in the next chapter. Review please! 3
