New Bots-ATS
So sorry about the long wait! I didn't mean to!...I'm ashamed. Hopefully this will make up for it, at least a little bit.
SunnySides: me too! I love Jazz! * insert fan girl squeal*!
Steel Autobot: Thank you for thinking so. I'm usually good at grammar but my iPad is all about spell check and it's very aggravating. Lol!
LunaUchiha66: This is how I picture my mother acting if that were to happen...beware the hug of doom!
Zipitnow: Of course she had to have a cool new leg. Thank you Jazz! There's no way I could off Jazz, not when he cares so much for Averie! ;) I run if my mom calls my full name! Lol!
AutoTechnoCon98: Now that I think about it it does. Lol! Totally by accident. :D
Optoclaw: sorry it wasn't longer. Sometimes it's hard to to do so. I hope not to make a habit of it. :)
Alice Gone Madd: Go with that feeling. ;) lol!
Luna Von Rae: I'm glad you like it! :)
Bee4ever: Thank you!
sexyandiknowitninjagirl: Thank you! Here you go! :)
Creed6: there's no way I would let Jazz die! There will be a sequel but I'm gonna put all the movies together in this one story, just to clarify. :) Jazz will live on!
Alice: I'm glad you think so! :)
Ashlynn: Thank you! I'll be sure to do that! I hope I never loose my inspiration, but if I do at least I have awesome readers that will help. Cookie for you! :D
A year has gone by since the battle at Mission City. I've gotten used to my new leg now, but not without some difficulty. Apparently you really can still feel your toes! Even though I don't have toes on that foot anymore. Walking around town gets me some really strange looks. Most are curious as to how it happened, and others ask what kind of metal was used. It's much smoother than a regular fake leg, and it's very epic looking if I say so myself.
Sam and Mikaela have really hit it off, and have been dating since Mission City. Thankfully they don't get very mushy when I'm around, so I don't have to feel like a third wheel.
Sam and I have applied to college and will be attending the University of Pennsylvania this fall. Moms been real emotional since I got my acceptance letter. Sam's mom more than mine. That's not the only change. Jazz has become my guardian, and I could not be happier. He and I have gotten really close since Mission City and are hardly ever apart.
Sometimes I have flashbacks of the battle while I'm sleeping. It scares me so I've taken to sleeping in Jazz's alt mode when I get them. Thankfully he doesn't mind and actually encourages it when they occur. The first time mom thought I was kidnapped again, so I had to assure her to check with Jazz when she sees me gone from my bed.
We've spent a lot of time with the Autobots as well, and have gotten to know them. I have taken it upon myself to get to know each Autobot personally in hopes of being really good friends with them. It wasn't hard with Bumblebee, him being so adorable and all. Of course him being Sam's guardian and living next door helped too.
Ratchet, having gave me a new leg, made him easy to trust and get to know. I figured it would be easier to do so if I asked him about his role as a medic. He was more than happy to answer my questions about their anatomy, their transformation process, etc. I found myself sincerely interested and fascinated. Ratchet even let me help him when he fixing up bots. Granted they were just small things but I loved it none the less. He's become like a lovable grouchy grandpa.
Ironhide was easier to get along with than I thought he would. As soon as I mentioned wanting to learn how to handle a gun he immediately became attached. He's been teaching me how to handle, clean, and fire multiple types of guns. He even let me inspect his cannons, which are even cooler up close. Mom would freak out if she knew this so I keep it to myself. He's like the uncle you go to when you want to do something your parents won't let you do.
Optimus was the hardest in my opinion. Granted he is easy to talk to and always willing to listen but him being the leader made him seem unapproachable. Of course he's reassured me that I can come to him whoever I'd like, but he has a lot on his shoulders and I don't want to bother him. If I could give him a title, then I would have to say he is like a second father to me.
By government orders I am not allowed to have anyone, besides mom, know about the Autobots. This is a shame because dad would have found all of this epic! He would be the parent who wouldn't freak out, but instead think it was cool.
We've managed to stay in touch with Lennox and Epps, but more Lennox. We also found put that he doesn't live very far away so we've made a few visits. I've met his wife Sarah and she is such a sweet woman and she's become like a second mom. I've also met Annabelle, who is now two years old. We've really hit it off and I'm the first on their list if they need a babysitter. She's even gotten to calling me sis, which I gush at.
Everyone is actually getting together at the Lennox's this weekend because Optimus would like to introduce us to the new Autobots whom have arrived. So the Autobots, me and my mom, Mikaela, Sam and his parents, and Epps and his family will be at the Lennox's for a cookout to meet the new recruits. So excited!
The week came and went rather slowly, because I'm so excited for this weekend. Saturday finally got here and mom and I are preparing to leave. I carry my bag to Jazz's alt mode as he asks,"Hey darlin'. Are y'all ready yet?" He teases.
I smile and say,"It's like the song says. Waiting on a woman."
He laughs and goes to reply but mom walks over. "Are you ready yet?" I ask.
"I had to wait for the food to get done, so now we can go. Ready?" Mom asks.
"Yep. Let's go!" I exclaim in excitement as I hop into Jazz. Mom gets in after locking the house up. We are then heading to the Lennox's place.
Mom was a little nervous at first when Jazz was made my guardian and was told he would be staying with us. I then told her that Jazz would become "my car" so that way she wouldn't have to buy me one...she was sold.
After an hour of driving Jazz takes the road that will lead us to the Lennox property. The property consists of a beautiful horse ranch, with the big beautiful house to go with it. The property goes on for a few miles in every direction, with woods out back so the Autobots can be in bot mode and no one will see them.
After a few minutes Jazz drives down their long driveway until we reach the house. We gather our bags and food and get out, Jazz transforming soon after. "I'm gonna head out back an see who alls here." Jazz says.
"See ya in a few Jazz." I say.
"Don't keep me waitin' long darlin'." Jazz teases.
I laugh and walk into the house with mom where we are welcomed by Sarah, Wills wife. "Hello! So good to see you again. I was beginning to worry you wouldn't show." She exclaims happily.
We place the food on the counter as I say,"We would have been here sooner but mom has a tendency to be late anywhere she goes."
Mom mock glares and says,"Honor your mother. That's a commandment you know."
"Thou shalt not be late should be another." I joke.
We laugh as I ask Sarah,"Is everybody here?"
"Their all out back." She replies with a smile.
I rush off to the back door and to the backyard. I see all the humans and bots accounted for, as well as the new Autobots. "Averie!" I hear multiple people yell. I look and see Sam and Mikaela by the patio. I rush over and bring them into a group hug. "Hey! How are you guys?"
"Good. Was wondering when you were gonna show." Sam teases.
I roll my eyes and say,"My mothers the kind that would be late for her own funeral."
We laugh at that and Sam then asks,"So you ready for college?"
I shrug and say,"I guess. More than mom anyway."
"Yeah I hear ya. My moms been crying ever since I got my acceptance letter." Sam replies.
"Not to mention wagging around his baby book." Mikaela adds.
We laugh hard at that, well except for Sam. I see Lennox and Epps walking up with Annabelle hanging on to her dad's leg. "Av!" Annabelle exclaims as she runs over to me.
I bend down and wrap her up in a hug as I say,"Hey Anna Banana! How's my special girl?"
"Good! Big bots here!" She exclaims. She and I really hit it off after coming to visit more. She was amazed at my leg and thought I was a super hero. So adorable!
"Speaking of big bots, they've all been wondering when you'd get here." Epps says.
I roll my eyes and say,"Next time I'll just leave mom."
I hear big footsteps as the bots walk over. I look up at Optimus and say,"Hey boss bot!"
"Hello Averie. How are you?" He asks warmly.
"Good. How about you?" I reply.
"I am well thank you." He says.
Suddenly I feel the tingling feeling of Ratchets scanner and give him an annoyed look. "Don't give me that look youngling. I need to make sure your body isn't trying to reject your new leg." He says.
"Well warn me first. Your scans feel weird, not to mention invasive." I reply.
I hear a deep laugh as the voice says,"Hatchet gets that a lot."
I look and see a silver mech with wheels for feet looking at me with an amused grin.
"Hatchet? I'm gonna have to remember that one." I laugh.
The mech kneels down so he's closer to me and says,"The names Sideswipe. I'm guessing your Averie?"
"Heard of me have you?" I joke.
"They talk about you a lot...sorry about your leg." He says.
"Could have been worse, but thank you anyway." I reply.
He smiles in welcome.
"Allow me to introduce you to our other new members...this is Ratchets medical apprentice, Jolt." Optimus introduces the blue mech.
"Hello Averie. Ratchet has told me a lot about you. It's an honor to meet you." Jolt says shyly.
"It's nice to meet you too Jolt." I reply warmly.
Optimus then points to two mechs who look a lot alike."They are Skids and Mudflap."
"Interesting names." I comment.
"Yea. We's cool too. Littl' femme." The one with the gold tooth says in a gangster talk.
"Yea yea fur reals." The other says.
I just nod my head, not knowing what else to say.
I then look to three small, compared to the others, bots. They have the same built and if I had to guess probably transforms into motorcycles. Their features also appear more delicate, indicating that they must be female.
The three females roll up to me and kneel down. The pink one says,"Hello, I'm Elita-One. Pleased to meet you."
"Pleased to meet you to mam." I say respectfully. I won't say old, but she sounds about my moms age.
The blue one then says,"Hello youngling. Nice to meet you. Ironhide tells me your learning how to handle weapons."
"Sure am. Ironhide's a great teacher...and I'm having a lot of fun learning too." I reply happily.
She let's out a laugh and says,"Well perhaps you'd accept my proposal to teaching you some things that Ironhide can't?"
"Your a weapons specialists too?" I ask.
She smirks and says,"Of course. Can't let my sparkmate have all the fun."
"Sparkmate? Your sparkmates?" I ask in shock. That was one of the things that I remember Jazz explaining to me so at least I know what that is...I'm just shocked.
"Surprised?" She asks with a smirk.
"Uh. Well kinda. I just find it hard to believe that Ironhide managed to be civil enough to court a femme." I reply.
At that everyone bust out laughing. Except for Optimus and Jolt who just chuckle. "Oh your a treat! We're gonna get along just fine." Sideswipe says while kneeling down behind me.
Ironhide doesn't find it as funny as we do though.
Then the purple one says,"Hi! I'm Arcee! Nice to meet you!" Judging by her voice I'd say she's the equivalent of a teenager.
"Nice to meet you too Arcee." I reply sweetly.
"Well that covers everyone." Sam says.
"Well its very nice to meet all of you." I say to the group.
They all reply in agreement.
Suddenly Lennox's voice rings out saying,"Listen up! I need Sam and Averie up front!"
Sam and I walk up to where Lennox is as he says,"There's something I gotta tell you two. Today wasn't just a chance for everyone to meet the new Autobots. See also wanted to congratulate you two for being accepted into college. You guys are gonna have fun, but not too much I hope." Everyone laughs at that.
"In all seriousness. Good luck you two." He then turns to everyone and says,"Let's give it up for our college bound heroes."
Everyone, both human and Autobots, claps for us. Sam and I feel sheepish but smile anyway. Suddenly I'm lifted up by a hand and placed on someone's shoulder. I look and see Jazz smiling warmly at me. "I'm proud of ya darlin'." He says warmly.
"Thanks Jazz." I reply and hug the side of his face as best I can.
I can feel him smile as he takes a servo and places it over me in a return hug of sorts.
For the next few hours everyone socializes and Sam and I get congratulated individually by everyone. We all have a good time but unfortunately have to leave when it gets to be 11 o'clock. Everyone says their goodbyes and mom and I climb into Jazz and head home.
I wonder if more Autobots will show up? If so I hope their as cool as the ones I just met. That's the last thought that runs through my mind before I fall asleep on the way home.
So sorry about the long wait for this one! I nave no excuse...and I'm ashamed! I'm sorry it wasn't very long, but I hope y'all liked it none the less. Until next time! Bye peeps!
