Chapter 10

My Hero

Veronica smiled and ran to the window and opened it. Optimus stepped back allowing her room to get out of her room. She stepped out onto the roof and sat down. Optimus stared down at her. How was he so lucky to find a human not afraid to love someone not her kind? She was a brave human and no one could ever change his mind.

"Did you really mean what you said?" she asked.

"Every bit of it." he whispered.

She closed her eyes sensing Optimus getting closer to her. When she opened her eyes he was directly above her. His face inches away from hers. She smiled up at him and then he asked, "Did you mean every word you said,"

"Of course. I think you're very attractive for some odd reason and I don't know why. Anyways I really meant it and I never want to leave your side." she said.

Optimus chuckled and stood up and extended a hand for her to climb in. She quickly took the offer and sat in the middle of the palm of his hand. Optimus brought her to his face and she reached out and touched his lips and his full face. He slowly closed his eyes feeling her tiny hands graze across his giant face. He let out a sigh of happiness and then he felt something new. Of course he had felt it before when she had given him a kiss. He opened his optics and saw Veronica kissing his cheek. She looked up seeing his eyes were open and said, "Sorry I couldn't resist."

Optimus laughed a little bit and said, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

"Only if you're doing the walking." she replied.

Optimus chuckled a little bit and replied, "Yes I'll be doing the walking while you sit back and relax."

He gently sat her on his shoulder and he entered the woods. Veronica hid behind Optimus's head so that none of the branches would hit her and knock her off of Optimus to a painful death at the bottom. He walked until he came to a clearing in the middle of the forest and plucked Veronica from his shoulder. The open space was perfect size for Optimus to lay down and stretch if he liked to. He slowly laid down and sat Veronica on his chest. She started walking around examining everything.

"Having fun?" he asked.

She looked down at him and replied, "Yes actually. You guys are so complicated. I don't know how those scientists were able to study Megatron."

Optimus laughed this time and Veronica held on to his windshield wipers so that she wouldn't fall off. Once he stopped she finally let go and said, "Don't do that again."

"Why? I can laugh and plus I've heard this is a free country." he laughed.

"Man, do you have to look up every little detail?" she asked.

"Yes I do." he replied.

Veronica laid down on Optimus's chest and looked up at the stars and the full moon over head.

"Tonight is a beautiful night. This is a perfect place. I don't think I've ever been here before." she whispered.

Optimus smiled and gently with one finger started stroking her side. She sighed and closed her eyes feeling Optimus caress her side. No one had ever treated her like this before and she was slowly getting used to the whole thing. Optimus noticed something as he was doing this and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing what do you mean?" she asked.

"Well you pheromone levels tell me that you are thinking on something and you feel a little awkward." he replied.

"Oh…its just I hardly had any boyfriends. Everyone didn't think of me as attractive or they thought I was a freak. The only guys who liked me were the weird ones." she replied.

She suddenly felt a giant hand wrap around her body and pick her up. She was being held above Optimus's face and he said, "Veronica I don't know why those human males didn't think you pretty. You're gorgeous and let no one tell you different."

Veronica smiled a huge smile over her face. Optimus sat her back down on his chest which she crawled to the nape of his neck and curled up. Optimus closed his optics and focused all his thoughts on Veronica. Suddenly he felt her shiver. He opened his optics and asked, "Are you okay Veronica?"

"I'm fine. Its just getting a little cool out here." she whispered.

Optimus gently picked her up sat up. He held her to his chest sharing his warmth from his spark to warm her body up. She snuggled against his chest gratefully taking the warmth he was giving her. Optimus started stroking her back more like caressing. She looked up at Optimus who was looking down at her. She slowly reached a hand up and started drawling circles on his armor. This made Optimus's engine vibrate and he let out a moan. Veronica smiled and snuggled deeper in his armor getting warmer.

Optimus looked down at her and heard her whisper, "Did you know that you're my hero Optimus? You saved me when Starscream tried to kill me. I feel like you're my Superman and I'm Lois Lane."

Optimus smiled and said, "Well there's something wrong with your Superman…he can't fly."

"Well he can transform into a Peterbuilt which is so much cooler." she whispered huskily.

"So transforming is cooler than flying?" he asked with a cocked metal eyebrow.

"Yes. You don't see Superman transforming into anything do you? He just flies through the air." she sighed.

"I should get you home. Too much of this cool air and you can get sick." he sighed.

"I don't want to go back home. I want to stay here with you forever." she whispered.

"Well I'll be right outside your house. You know that. I would never leave you." he replied.

"I still don't want to go home." protested Veronica.

Optimus looked at her and said, "I'll tickle you if we don't go to your house."

Veronica jumped off of Optimus and said, "You'll have to catch me first!"

She ran off and Optimus got up and started chasing after her and said, "You know this is pointless right? I mean I can easily catch up with—"

Optimus was caught off by a limb hitting him in the face. Veronica saw this and kept on running. She quickly hid in a little cliff under a tree. She watched as Optimus walked past her looking for her. She let out a sigh relief. She silently poked her head out and didn't see anyone. She suddenly didn't feel comfortable. She looked up and saw a giant spider.

"Ah!" she screamed and ran out from under the tree.

The spider was clinging to her hair as she was running.

"Optimus! Optimus!" she cried.

Optimus heard this and quickly ran to where he was hearing the screams. He finally found Veronica and saw she was freaking out.

"What's the matter Veronica?" he asked confused.

"Spider in my hair! Spider in my hair!" she screamed.

He gently snatched her up and carefully plucked the spider from her hair and easily squished it.

"Now do you want to go home?" he asked.

"Yes." she squeaked.

Optimus walked silently in the forest only a little thump was heard. Veronica held onto Optimus for dear life. She was still frightened at what had happened. She was afraid of spiders. She didn't care what kind she was afraid of all of them.

"Veronica are you sure you're okay? You haven't said anything." he said.

"Yeah I'm good still freaked out." she whispered.

"Why are you guys afraid of spiders?" he asked.

"Because they're small and have eight legs. They have fangs and some of them are poisoness."

Optimus still didn't know why they were afraid of spiders. It would be like a transformer afraid of a human. He shrugged it off and kept on walking.

"I'm sorry Optimus." she whispered.

"Sorry? For what?" he asked.

"For being weak and afraid of little things." she whispered.

Optimus held her up to his face and said, "You can't help it. You have arachnophobia and you have a fear for spiders. I've also noticed a lot of females have this phobia."

"So you're not mad? You still love me?" she asked.

"Why would I not love you any more just because you're afraid of a spider? I'd love you even if you were afraid of dogs." he laughed.

He walked up to her house and sat her down on the roof and said, "Go inside. I'll wait for you."

"Okay Optimus." she replied.

He bent down and she gave him a tiny kiss on his massive lips. She then turned around and went inside. She was so happy. She had a boyfriend who was much better than Superman could ever be. She was in love with the Autobot commander, Optimus Prime.

Yes such a cute pair. Optimus saving Veronica from a spider. The relationship is building! Please review!
