DO READ THE A/N!

I hope you all like the introduction for Maggie last chapter. As you can tell, Amelia and Maggie are going to be pretty close friends straight from the beginning. I would like to thank everyone for their reviews, follows and favourites. They are much appreciated. Sorry about the long wait though.

I was thinking that a song that Amelia gets attatched to could be 'Human' by Christina Perri because she relates to it quite strongly. Please listen to this song and review on what your opinion for it being her song is.

If you have any questions on anything in my stories then just ask in a review and I will try my best to answer it in the following A/N in the next chapter.

BTW, I have found some hilarious videos on YouTube. They are: Dane Cook Parenting and other Dane Cook scenes like that. Make sure to check it out.

I would like to apologise for the lateness as usual with this story. I do not deserve such amazing viewers like you all!

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. Only Amelia, Skylar and Cassidy, my OC's. I do not own any of the clothes that Amelia buys in the shops. The link for a picture of them is at the bottom of my profile if you want to know what they look like. Let me know if you think they are okay or if I've chosen horrible clothes.

BTW: I would just like to say now, for future reference, any songs I use, I DO NOT care that they may be made after 2011, I am still using them!

Amelia's PoV

It was nice to be around other people once again. Well, I had already been around people, Lennox and Epps for instance. But to just be with women talking about normal things in everyday life. Small things like this your average people take for granted so much that they don't even see it as a privilege. You could be all alone with no one to talk to about all these things, but they still don't care.

When Mikaela first met me, she was already slightly aware of the situation because apparently she was seen as a little sister by Jolt, the medic-trainee who had been filled in who then told her. He told her everything. The only reason I hadn't met Jolt was because he had to go to Britain with Prowl, Blurr and Bluestreak to guard Skylar and Cassidy who were there for family reasons. Who these women were was still puzzling me, but I didn't want to ask, in case I seemed a bit too nosy. At first, Mikaela seemed a bit wary, however I quickly warmed up to her. That I was extremely relieved of.

Afterwards, we all went down to the Lennox's farm. It looked like a setting out of a fairytale. Sarah seemed to understand me completely, and Annabelle though of me as an older sister. I always thought that children were absolutely adorable. I had always wanted one of my own someday. Although the likeliness of that happening anymore is slim to none. Sometimes the truth hurt and you had to just deal with it.

We were all riding in the trailer of Ironhide. Maggie and Sarah were at the front, opposite each other, then Mikaela and Annabelle were next to them, in the middle, and I was on the end, near the edge. I felt very insecure and unsafe since the driver wouldn't hesitate to go over a pothole and throw me over the small fence-like door. Jazz and Mirage drove behind us at a steady pace to keep up. All the girls were busy talking about some thing or other that I had no idea of. So I may as well talk to someone who isn't talking and who won't try to blow my head off. I gave a quick glance Maggie's way to see if they would notice me use a com link. but they were all deep in chatter, making me smile. Knowing I had the all clear, I started to try and find Jazz and Mirage's frequency.

"...we won't know until Wheel-" Jazz was saying before I jumped in the conversation.

"Hello Jazz, hi Mirage." I greeted them, smiling at them from my place in the trailer.

"Amelia? How did you get hold of a com link? How do you even have one?" the Italian accent known as Mirage asked thickly with this accent.

"Turns out I inherited more that just some of dad's personality. I got some basic Cybertronian features like com links, good hearing and blue eyes. Go figure." I explained to them. "So, what are you talking about?" I asked them.

"Uh... nothing really. Um... I can't ever remember what we were talking about. Can you Mirage?" Jazz asked in a bit of a sheepish voice. It was strange. Although I'd only known Jazz properly for about an hour, this doesn't seem like normal behaviour for him.

"Why no Jazz, I do not remember. Is it not strange how a processor can so easily let something fade away?" Mirage replied to Jazz. Yep, they were defiantly hiding something from me. Probably shouldn't pry though.

"Hm... alright, don't want to tell me? Fine." I sort of snapped at them before shutting the com link frequency on my end and looking away from them. Bad thing was, all of the women were looking at me.

"Um... Why are you staring at me?" I asked them nervously.

"So? Huh? Where?" Annabelle asked me, getting out of her seat to pull on my trouser leg. Feeling a protective manner come over me, I quickly picked me up and placed her on my lap, locking her in with my arms.

"Don't get out of your seat Annabelle. That was very dangerous." I heard Ironhide scold her from inside the front section of himself. No matter how many times you try and say that, it will always seem strange and perverted.

"Sorry 'Hide." she apologised. Then she turned back to me, her kicked puppy mood gone. "So where are you from?" she asked excitedly.

"Oh! That, well I was originally from Washington, but I moved to New York when I was seven because of problems at school and with the neighbour kids." I explained briefly to them.

"What kind of problems?" Sarah asked me curiously.

"Well, you know, the usual bullies and all that jazz but it was mainly this one girl called Carly. She was the school's average bully with about 10 tons of evil and annoyingness on top of that. She thought she was all of it because she came from a military family." I explained to them. They all seemed to have a look of ashen and awkwardness on their faces, save for Annabelle who had no idea what was going on. "What?" I asked them.

"That Carly you're talking about is my ex's new girlfriend." Mikaela told me. A look of horror came over me.

"Oh Primus! I am so sorry, I shouldn't have said any of that. I am such a dip-stick. She's probably a good friend of yours and-" I started ranting in embarrassment but got cut off my Maggie.

"Woah there, it's alright. We all hate her too so it's no big deal." she told me, trying to hide her laughter.

"Oh. Okay then." I said dumbly. "So where exactly are we going anyway? Didn't the whole city get destroyed by Sentinel and Megatron?" I asked them. They all looked at me before bursting into laughter. "What's so funny?" Even Ironhide snorted in amusement.

"Yes, but we're not in Chicago." Mikaela said through her laughter. That sent me into a full out panic.

"Then where are we?" I asked, panic noticeable in my voice.

"We're in Diego Garcia, that's an-" Mikaela continued.

"Island next to Australia." I cut her off. "How did I get here?" I asked them.

"When you pulled the stunt with Sam a few days ago and you were knocked unconscious by Fig, you were unconscious for almost a whole night. We put you on a plane that we were about to leave on before we got called to your destination and that took us all to the Diego Garcia where our old base was. The new one in Chicago was destroyed so we used old resources and transported back here." Maggie explained.

"I thought it was a little warm here to be Chicago." I thought aloud.

"Look, there it is!" Annabelle shouted from my arms, her arms flailing aabout wildly, hitting me in the eye.

"Ow! Watch it kiddo." I joked. Soon enough, Ironhide pulled into a parking space and the girls started getting up, ready to get out. There was a faint zapping and fizzing sound and a man came up out of nowhere. ( fs70/f/2011/273/4/9/ironhide_s_holoform_by_hurricane_ ) (minus the brackets) (type that into google images search drive, should be the first picture that comes up.)

"Who's that?" I whispered to Sarah as he helped Annabelle get down from the steep drop of the trailer.

"It's Ironhide's holoform. So he can blend in, and fit in to the mall." Sarah briefly explained to me.

"Oh. I was wondering why he had a murderous look in his eyes when he looked at me." I drawled. Ironhide just snorted in amusement at me. In retaliation, I kicked the side of his trailer.

"Watch it femme." Ironhide hissed at me so Annabelle couldn't hear him.

"Right back at you lawnmower." I shot back.

"So come on girls. A fellow damsel is in need of some more clothes. To the shops!" Maggie exclaimed, dragging me by the hand into a random shop. All of the girls, Ironhide, Jazz and Mirage came into the shop. The first thing I noticed was it was very bright. The walls were bright pink. I swear the pinkness was blinding me. Even more than Chicago. In the background 'About You Now' by the Sugarbabes was playing throughout the store. "You, you need at least one dress." Maggie told me, dragging me over to the dress section of the store with Annabelle and Mirage.

"And that's our area of expertise!" Annabelle exclaimed, grabbing my hand and dragging me away from Maggie, Mirage in tow. Smart that he knows not to get in the way of a seven year old on a shopping spree. I turned back to him with an amused look on my face.

"Your area of expertise as well? Or are you just here for the ride?" I joked while still being dragged. He chuckled.

"Skylar says I have very good taste in clothes. She thought that because of that, we were playing for the same team. If you get me." he described, not wanting any of the civilians to hear his meaning.

"Who's-?" I started asking, but was cut off by being pulled away from him with a strong tug on my arm.

"Come on Amy!" Annabelle moaned slightly. "All the good dresses will go before you get there." she complained.

"Did you just... call me Amy?" I asked, voice shaken a bit. My mom used to call me Amy. 'Her little Amy' she would say. Annabelle nodded, not noticing my distress, before going to look at some of the dresses.

I can't keep looking on the past. Mom wouldn't want me to. She'd want me to be happy. But, am I happy right now? Only partially. True I have made four good friends who don't seem to dislike me or not trust me. But I've also made some common enemies; Ironhide, Will, Epps, Fig, every other human, every other autobot, my own dad. My life is a battle all of it's own.

"We should go check up on Annie. Make sure she hasn't throw everything on the floor yet." Mirage told me, snapping me out of my trance-like state.

"Yeah." I said, going to find where Annabelle went off to. Mirage stood back for a minute.

Mirage's PoV

I waited until Amelia Evans was out of hearing range and activated my comm and visual feed. Being a spy, my optics had recorders inside them that went straight to my memory bank.

"Mirage to Optimus: Sir you seeing all of this?" Mirage asked into his comm. system.

"Yes Mirage. We are all seeing this. It is being played in the rec. room with all Autobots present along with Lennox, Epps and Sam." Optimus replied.

"Sir, do you think this femme could possibly be your daughter? She had a comm system and started talking to me and Jazz." Mirage hesitantly asked.

"All I know is, is that it was impossible for two different species to create life and Natalia never even mentioned a sparkling. Optimus out." Optimus said, closing off the comm.

Amelia's PoV

"This dress is absolutely ridiculous! I'm not coming out!" I called out to Annabelle and Mirage. This pink, fluffy monstrosity was going to be the death of me.

"Please Amy! Just one peek." Annabelle pleaded from outside. I groaned in defeat, coming out of the changing room.

"Yeah, you're right. Maybe pink isn't your colour." Mirage commentated. I shot him a playful glare.

"Gee', you think so?" I asked sarcastically. "Besides. I've never liked the colour pink. It was too feminine for me. I've always liked, blues, blacks, reds, greens. That sort of thing." I told them.

"Try this other one then." Annabelle said, holding up a coat hanger with a dress on it. As far as I could tell, it was black and light blue. I went inside and tried it on, then came back out in it.

"I love it!" I said, doing a twirl, not realising that everyone at base could see me.

"You look so pretty Amy!" Annie exclaimed.

"You look fabulous Amelia." Mirage complimented.

"Are you sure you're not gay?" I asked him, making him choke on the air, making me laugh. Once Mirage came back to reality, rosy red, he managed to come out with one word.

"Defiantly." he chocked out, knowing that everyone at base would be laughing at him.

Once I had paid for said dress, courtesy of Maggie's NEST supplied credit card, we visited several more shops. Most of the girls bought a few things, but mainly went there for my benefit. They even got me new spare shoes and cute pyjamas. Maggie and I even got matching blue glittering ponchos. No matter how creepy anyone else found it, we loved them so both got them. After we had gone on our shopping spree, we went to a small smoothie and ice cream parlour. I'd had smoothies all the time when I was a child. But when I got to fourteen, I stopped having them for some reason. I can't remember why. My favourite had always been kiwi and banana. The green liquid tasted like a rainbow on my throat. Sarah and Mikaela got strawberry and banana while Maggie and Annabelle had peach, guava and orange. Of course, Annabelle had chocolate ice cream along with Mikaela; Maggie and I had cookie dough ice cream while Sarah just had plain vanilla. I guess it's true that the older you get the more boring you get. Don't get me wrong, I do absolutely love vanilla ice cream, but you need to have another flavour with it or some sort of topping.

Now, with Annabelle being still very young, she wasn't really up for all the 'women gossip' as she put it. So she had gone and thrown all the ice cream and smoothie down her throat and forced Ironhide to take her to the toy store across the street. What managed to surprise me was that he had no problem being bossed around by a seven year old and even smiled at her antics. So it was just us girls, Jazz and Mirage, who was secretly still recording.

"Alright, I just need to know: how come the lawnmower over there doesn't mind being bossed around by a seven year old like Annie?" I asked openly.

"Ironhide has known Annabelle since she was a few months old, just after Mission City." Jazz explained. "You could say that he has a soft spot for her in his spark." he continued.

"I guess I could understand that. So he sees her as if she was his own kid?" I inquired, trying to get my grasp around the concept.

"You could put it like that. Skylar's the same with her. They're kind of like the second set of parents that spoil her endlessly." Sarah finished for me. Again with this Skylar person. And this Cassidy. Who are they? Time to find out.

"Um... I've been meaning to ask for a while now, but who exactly are Skylar and Cassidy? They've been mentioned by some of the 'bots, you guys, Lennox and the other soldiers. Who are they?" I asked, also explaining my questions purpose. Jazz and Mirage seemed to perk up at this a little more than other topics.

"Well, I've known them the longest out of anyone here so I'll explain." Mikaela stated before beginning her story. "Back in 2007, Sam wasn't the only one who had an Autobot as a guardian. There was also Skylar and Cassidy who had Ironhide and Ratchet as guardians. They met the Autobots along with me and Sam because they have special... abilities, if you will. So they helped the Autobots and me, Maggie and Sam get the All-spark away from the Decepticons and Sector Seven, who I will come to later on." Mikaela started.

"After the whole ordeal in Mission City where Megatron was destroyed, me, Skylar and Cassidy decided to stay and help the Autobots and the fellow soldiers that took part in the Quatar attack before the 'bots first arrived. I went into the offices helping recruit more people, going through security feed and other behind the desk jobs; Cassidy went under Ratchet's training to be able to become a Cybertronian medic, while treating humans as well; and Skylar basically became a trainer with Ironhide. Training new recruits and arriving Autobots and such. Over two years a lot of things had happened. Sky' and Cass' got turned into children by Wheeljack's one of many failed experiments, 'Hide and Skylar started trying to secretly date, which didn't last too long because of another one of Wheeljack's experiments where a bunch of us swapped bodies and Cassidy ended up with him the next morning. And who knows what else went on with the twins that arrived." Maggie continued.

"Then in 2009, Megatron came back and Optimus got killed trying to protect Sam who got kidnapped along with me, the girls and a guy called Leo who you'll meet sometime soon, we became refugees and outlaws by the government. Then we got help from an ex-sector seven agent called Simmons who helped us find the matrix of leadership, bring back Optimus, and defeat the Fallen, the rogue Prime from the first thirteen primes. Then Cassidy and Ratchet came out and told us that they'd been dating for a while and after that not much had been happening." Mikaela added.

"No! Remember when we tried to take the 'bots camping?" Sarah asked. Everyone seemed to groan in agreement. "Then there was nothing much until last week with Chicago and Sentinel Prime." Sarah finished. Just that name filled me with anger.

"Primus I hate that guy." I said in a deadly tone.

"We all do" Jazz snarled.

"But hey, there's no point in hanging back in the past. If you want a future, you have to let it go." Maggie riddled. Then Sarah looked at her watch.

"Goodness, is that the time already? Annabelle's got school tomorrow and needs to go to bed early. We should be heading back now. I'm gonna see if 'Hide can give me a lift." Sarah said, starting to get up. "It was lovely to meet you Amelia. We'll see you soon okay? Bye guys." she said, collecting her bags and going off in search of her daughter and part-time guardian.

"Bye Sarah." I farwelled.

"Well, Sarah's right. We need to get you three back home." Jazz said, standing up himself.

"I'll take Mikaela home." Mirage said, smiling at said person.

"Thank you Mirage. I would love it if you drove me back" Mikaela said, smiling back. The actions and words those two were sharing was slightly suspicious. I looked over at Maggie and Jazz who didn't notice anything, getting ready to go.

"Well uh... I guess I'll see you sometime Mikaela and see you sometime tomorrow Mirage. Bye" I said as I walked off with Maggie and Jazz to himself outside the mall with bags in hand. I leaned over to Maggie and whispered.

"Damn, he actually isn't gay." I whispered, earning a laugh out of Maggie and a confused look off Jazz who hadn't heard me.

Well I hope you liked this chapter. Hopefully you know what I meant by what Amelia said at the end. Let's just say that along with Amelia/Bee, Skylar/Ironhide, Cassidy/Ratchet, and later on Optimus/Elita, there will also be Mikaela/Mirage

Next chapter: Wheeljack wakes up! Yay!

Also, I have a new story up called 'Hey! I'm in High School' which is not related to this one. It's about before the war and everyone we know is in high school. Aurora (OC) joins Iacon Academy for Younglings and throughout the year falls in love with Optimus (wh at that point was still Orion)

Please R&R as they give me happy points! I would like to thank Angelwings5952 for giving me the final push to finish this chapter. Tell me what you think. Was it good? Was it bad? Do you want me to go and burn in pit? As long as you review, I don't care what you say. Do you want me to go burn in pit? I will if you want me to.

Bye!
