Hey everyone! Holy cow I'm on chapter 10 already! Go me!
I went to Folklife festival in Seattle on the weekend and got a bad sunburn...oh well!
It'll turn tan when it heals so I'm not complaining!
Anyway, many of you pretty much guessed who I am bringing into my story later on...Besides, how could I not?
I loved those two fraggers!
And man oh man, you people are sharp! Why yes, that was from Finding Nemo.
It's like my favorite movie.
I own nothing...even though I wish I did.
Onward!
Chapter 10
Feeling Lucky, Punk?
Sam gasped in alarm.
'Tai?' He yelled out, running after her. Bumblebee and everyone else close behind.
Blurr however was way ahead of them; he seemed to have forgotten about his little breakdown and rushed after his charge.
When Sam ran in, he couldn't believe his eyes. Tai was sitting on Ironhide's massive shoulder and he seemed to be enjoying her company as he showed her his cannons and what they are capable of.
'Hey guys...' Ironhide placed her down on the ground, and she skipped over to them.
'This place is so badass...and Ironass has amazing aim!'
She pointed to several craters on the ground, which were all the same size and about two meters apart from each other.
Blurr looked a little less wired and fritzy, which was saying something. Tai, somehow sensing her guardians emotions, walked over to him and reached up with her hand again. He smiled a bit and lifted her up.
'Sorry I'm such a pain in your aft.' She said, she actually did look like she felt bad. Blurr lets out a sigh. 'YouknowI'dbeworriedifyouweren't...'
Ironhide was now looking a bit nauseous. 'Alright, alright enough of this mushy stuff...none of that in my shooting range.' Sam rolled his eyes. 'Hypocrite.' He coughed loudly into his hand. Ironhide glared in his direction, as though daring him to say more. Sam cleared his throat and patted his chest with his fist. 'Ah sorry...something in my throat.'
Bumblebee and Jazz chuckled, causing the Weapons specialist to glare in their direction. They immediately sobered up and looked away.
Sam shook his head in amusement and checked his watch...he blanched. 'Holy shit! Tai, it's six thirty...my rents are expecting us at seven, we need to go!' Blurr and Bumblebee nodded.
Blurr placed Tai down on the ground.
'Alright, alright...sounds like fun...I just need to get my stuff, my bag...and my dog.'
Shockingly, it didn't take long at all to get all of Tai's possessions off the ground and back into the trunk of Blurr's car mode.
'It was really great meeting all of you...' Tai said, looking up at Optimus and the others...Ratchet and Ironhide included.
'You too Tatyana.' Optimus kneeled down so he could talk to her better. She didn't know why, but she felt incredibly safe when she was around him. Which was strange, considering today was the first time she met him. She couldn't really explain it, but hearing his voice made her feel like she was hearing her late father's voice.
It made her feel good.
'C'mon Tai...we need to skedaddle...you know my Mom and her temper.' Sam called from where he was standing.
'Alright, jeez keep your pantaloons on!' She called back, opening the drivers door to Blurr and climbing in.
The passenger popped open for Psyche, who clambered and settled herself in the passenger seat, which Blurr had folded back due to her massive size.
'Lead on Cuz!' She stuck her head out the rolled down window. Bumblebee, who had folded back into his Camaro mode, started the engine after making sure Sam buckled up and starting driving down the path.
Tai turned on the new radio she made Blurr scan, and inserted a C.D. that he downloaded and burned for her. The loud bass and drums made the car vibrate as she felt Blurr start the engine.
She stuck her arm out of the window and waved to the autobots as Blurr started moving after Bumblebee.
'Adios mi Amiga's!' She called.
'Bye!' Sam also called from Bumblebee as they drove off and disappeared behind the tree lines.
Optimus watched as his two soldiers drove away with the two teens. 'You know, I really like her...' Shockingly, Ironhide said that. 'Tell anyone I said that and there will be violence.'
Ratchet smirked. 'Oh I know my friend...I know.'
They all walked back inside....well, except a silver mech, who stared longingly down the path.
It was official...Jazz was in love.
Not surprisingly, Blurr had remembered where Ron and Judy Witwicky lived. But very surprisingly, his speed didn't cause Tai to have to pay any speeding tickets.
'If we listen to each others hearts...we'll find we're never too far apart!' Tai sang loudly but nicely along with the music.
'And maybe love's the reason why...for the first time ever we're seein' it...eye to eye!'
She heard Blurr chuckle through their connection.
She saw the bright yellow Camaro behind them as Blurr pulled into the driveway. 'It's about time you showed up!' She teased Sam as he pulled up beside her.
'Oh shut up!' He laughed. Bumblebee whirred his engine, clearly indicating he was very happy.
Blurr roared his engine in response.
'Well these two clearly go way back...' Tai said, patting the hood of her Dart friend.
Sam laughed, than looked up at the sound of a door opening. Mojo came running out, barking excitedly, his little tail wagging.
Tai squealed and stooped down to scoop the Chihuahua up.
'Mojo jojo!' She said in a high voice, smothering the small dog in a hug and giving him a kiss on his head.
Mojo burrowed his nose under Tai's chin and gave it a few licks, than when he saw Psyche clamber out from Blurr, he barked again and literally jumped out of Tai's arms.
Psyche barked happily and sniffed the small dog, before giving him a friendly doggy kiss on his head, soaking him in her saliva.
'Gross..' Sam and Tai muttered together, backing away.
What's with the rat? Blurr asked Bumblebee through their comlink, both of them still in their car forms.
That's not a rat...that's Mojo. He's a dog as well. Bumblebee explained
No way! Blurr sounded horrified.
Don't worry, I'll make sure you won't step on him.
Tai sniffed the air and her face lit up.
'Something smells delicious!' She gasped excitedly. 'Are those ribs I smell?'
Sam nodded. 'But before we chow down...maybe we should tell them about...you know...' He nodded his head in the Dart's direction.
'Oh yeah...right...' She said, making a weird face.
'By the way, how much did they freak out when they found out about Bee?'
'Ehhh...not to badly...' Sam said in a strained voice.
'They took it badly didn't they?' Tai said bluntly.
'Only slightly badly...' Sam admitted, sighing in defeat. 'But they like him now!'
Tai didn't look convinced but followed him into the backyard where Ron and Judy were setting up an immaculate barbeque. Psyche and Mojo ran past them, barking and playing, which looked hilarious...luckily that got their attention.
Tai waved at her Aunt and Uncle happily.
'Hi Everybody!'
Judy screamed in joy and ran to her niece and smothered her in a huge hug, almost lifting her off the ground.
'Oh it's our little Tai-dye!' She squealed, covering Tai's face in kisses. 'Look at her...so grown up and beautiful!'
'Aunt Jude...' Tai said her voice muffled from being squashed against Judy's chest. 'It's really great to see you and all...but oxygen depleting...everything going dark...'
'Oh I'm so sorry honey bunny!' Judy let her go and Tai fell to the ground dramatically. Sam rolled his eyes and kicked her carefully in the side.
'Oh cut it out!'
Tai got up laughing and brushed the grass off of her clothes. 'Uncle Ronniekins!' She called, jumping on Ron's back. He grunted but he laughed good naturedly.
'Well Tai, let me get a look at you...' Tai jumped off of him and stood there, grinning like a loon and giggling.
'Okay no more voltage for her...' Sam muttered to his mother.
'Very grown up I see...' Ron commented with a grin. 'Where's that dog of yours?'
'Oh, playing with Mojo...' She lets out a shrill whistle, making Psyche perk her ears up instantly. She galloped over to Tai and sat down, her huge tail still wagging up a storm.
'Whoa...she grew!' Ron said, petting her on her large head. Judy petted her as well, but she looked incredibly nervous. She did not like big dogs very much...but she was willing to accept her for Tai.
They all looked up at the sound of a scooter pulling up into the driveway. Sam grinned, he knew that noise.
'Hello?' Mikaela's voice called.
'Back here babe!' Sam called. Tai raised her eyebrow for like the thousandth time that day.
'Babe..?' She asked, flicking Sam in the back on the head. 'Samson...did you find yourself a Delilah?'
Sam gazed at her confused. 'Whatever that means...yes I did...but her name is Mikaela..'
'Which I just realized rhymes with Delilah...God, I can't outsmart you!'
Tai laughed and bowed dramatically. Mikaela came round the corner, wearing a pair of tight, Bermuda shorts and a white tank top. And motorcycle boots.
'Gadzooks.' Tai said, her eyes widening. 'Hey not to sound lesbo or anything...well, to be blunt...she's Hot!'
Mikaela stopped in her tracks and raised her eyebrows. Sam blushed and walked over to his girlfriend and gave her a kiss. 'Hey babe..'
'Hey babycakes...whose she?' She pointed to Tai.
'Mikaela, Tai...Tai, Mikaela.' Sam introduced, pointing from one to another.
Tai waved and shook her hand.
'Amazing to meet you officially!' She exclaimed. Mikaela smiled at her enthusiasm and shook her hand back.
'Nice to meet you as well...So you and Sam related?' She asked, swishing her long dark hair out of her face.
'Yeah I know...surprising huh?' She slung an arm around Sam's shoulders and pinching his cheek.
'I'm his Uncle's daughter...I've been in foster care for ten years.'
Mikaela's brow furrowed and she looked at Sam. 'Later.' He mouthed to her, slapping Tai's hand from his face comically.
After a few minutes of silence, except for Tai whistling the Family guy theme song, Ron cleared his throat.
'Well you hungry kiddos?' Ron asked.
After scarfing down ribs, potato salad, corn on the cob, Caesar salad, and deviled eggs, it was starting to get dark. 'I think it's time we get your stuff and get you settled...' Judy said, starting to throw the plates in a trash bag with Mikaela's help.
Tai, who was finishing off her fourth Dr. Pepper, nodded.
'Alrighty Aunt Jude.'
Sam gave her a look that clearly said, 'Tell-them-and-tell-them-now...' She winced, she was so busy stuffing her face with pure deliciousness, she had forgotten about Blurr.
'I'll tell them...but first I need to get my crap out of him first or else it'll be very uncomfortable.' She than added. 'Than I'd be pissed.'
'Why is that?' Mikaela suddenly butted in.
'Ohh you'll see...' Tai smiled mischievously.
Ron and Tai headed over to the driveway to her car.
'Oh my god...' Ron muttered in disbelief. 'You still have it.'
Tai placed her hand on her Uncle's shoulder and gave it a squeeze. 'Of course I do.' She smiled. 'I love this car...I would never give it away.'
'Well that's good...after all, your Dad told me you were conceived in this car.' Ron said, walking to the backdoor and opening it.
Tai's eye widened in shock and she turned to Sam and Mikaela, Sam just started laughing hysterically while Mikaela tried to figure out what was so funny.
'Nasty...' Tai murmured to herself. Note to self...Thank Blurr for not mentioning that, than yell at him for not mentioning it.
'Well you kids going to just stand there or are you going to help?'
Sam had finally composed himself and walked over to help.
Conceived? Bumblebee asked Blurr confused.
That'sthehumanformofinterfacing...that'swhenTatyanawascreated. Blurr stated.
Bumblebee shuddered and transformed into his true form.
'Oh that's just wrong!' He said, slapping his hands over his audio receptors.
Judy looked up at him in confusion. 'Bumblebee dear, who are you talking too?'
Bumblebee optics widened and he clicked nervously.
'Nice going doofus!' Sam exclaimed. 'Real subtle.'
Blurr turned his headlights on and flashed them irritably at the young scout. Than without warning, he started jumping on his wheels.
Tai immediately took action. With a yell, she jumped onto Blurr's hood and held on, trying to calm him down. He always got nervous and irritated when meeting new people.
'Dude calm down...you're going to throw me over you again!'
'I see the wiring still off.' Ron said in alarm as the car stopped bouncing and seemed to relax as Tai kept stroking the windshield.
'And why is she talking to it?' Judy asked. She than thought about it and she looked at Ron. 'You don't think?'
'Don't think what?' Her husband asked.
Judy rolled her eyes.
Bumblebee however, kneeled down by Sam and Mikaela. 'Did I do something wrong?' Sam looked up at him, and after seeing how worried he looked, patted his guardian on the arm.
'It's okay Bee...that statement would've made me do the same thing.' Bumblebee nodded, looking relieved.
Tai let out a breath as Blurr stopped bouncing, which was great because she was getting nauseous. 'Come on buddy, time to face the music.' She whispered. She hopped down and faced her Aunt and Uncle nervously. Obviously they liked Bumblebee just fine but would they like Blurr?
Well only one way to find out.
'Uncle Ron...Aunt Jude...I'd like you to meet Blurr.' With that being said, Blurr transformed into his very tall, true form.
Their eyes widened.
There you go people!
Ron and Judy and Mikaela are finally here!
Pretty soon, everyone else will show up as well.
Review!
