Hey guys! So I think you guys will hate me for this, but I'm skipping Convoy. Sorry! But Deus Ex Machina I refuse to skip!
By the way, a new character will be introduced maybe sometime in the next three episodes, or something like that, and it's I'm not telling you!
Chapter 11: Deus Ex Machina, who's the new guy?
To me, guys are something that have been on low-interest. Dating is something that is similar to hell with me, so I'm not going back to that. After what happened to my other boyfriend, I can't date until I die. Although Henry is a guy that I'm crazy about, I'll stick with crush, thank you very much!
Once and a while, a guy would wink at me or ask me on a date. My answers are: "No" "Ain't gonna happen" "Please leave me alone" or the most used one, "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" I hate dating.
Lucy and Emily both agree, though, that I should see someone. They say it will help make me more happy or some crazy crap like that. Whenever they're around, and a guy comes up and asks me on a date, they repeatingly elbowing me in the gut, which has left some bruises in the past.
I can't date. I just can't. Period.
Today was a crisp Tuesday afternoon. Spring has just come to Jasper, Nevada, Spring break was just around the corner, and it was around the time rain would come. Very little though.
I was waiting for Optimus and the others to get here because over the comm link, they said they were out scouting some energon. Understandable.
We waited for a couple of minutes, until we heard gasps. Mostly girl gasps. They crowded around something and it was impossible to see what. We heard a: "Ladies, please let me be!" and they all scattered, revealing something worth wild.
A tall man emerged and all his glory. His dark red hair was combed to the side and his red-black eyes shined. He wore a red shirt with some worn out jeans and some old sneakers. Behind him was this kick ass spotless red car, something to die for. He looked at me and grinned.
I turned my head. Em and Luc muttered something, and then giggled. When I looked up, he was three feet from my face and grinning.
"Hello, beautiful," he said. I wanted to shoo him off, but I couldn't help but blush. Finally, I said: "Goodbye ugly,"
"That's a little harsh," he said, smirking. He pulled off one of those side grins, which seemed to accidentally like him more. I shook my head and held a hand up to his face.
He moved the hand and laid one on the wall I was leaning against. He was inches from my face, and coming closer. I began to step away, but he had already had his lips against mine.
I gave a slight eep. I pulled away and ran from him, disappearing into the crowd. Optimus just arrived and I bolted to him. He opened the door and I jumped in. I had just enough time to look out the window and see that guy stare at me, a grin on his face.
I avoided death. I thought.
If I thought that was bad, base was worse. When we arrived, Emily and Lucy had grins on their faces.
"Dude, that was epic," said Luc. I ignored her and went up the steps to play video games with Em.
"I know you aren't big on guys, but COME ON! Use your head, girl! He's hot, he's badass, he's hot, he's got a sick ride," she ranted. "He's hot."
"Enough about whether he's hot or not," I stammered, turning to face her. "I ain't dating, Luc." I put a hand on her shoulder. "I'll be just fine single. I promise." she gave me the puppy dog smile.
"I guess." she said in defeat. "Now, video game time!"
The same thing happened for the next two days. The same guy in the same car kept trying to kiss me and Luc kept persisting to get us together.
Today was Friday, and I was so relieved. The weekend was just around the corner, which meant two whole days with no sexy guy!
Stop saying that! I thought. I hate him and always will! But every damn time he comes over to me, I get that rush that I liked him.
I had detention for arguing with Luc today and her and I were both sent there. Right now, I was reading Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult, when I heard some music. I looked out the window and saw Bulkhead, driving around like a crazy mouthed, see ya, and left. I followed.
Outside, I found Luc getting into Bulkhead, leaving me in the dust. I let out a great sigh.
"Hello gorgeous," Rage builded up inside me and I turned to see that guy on the hood of his car.
"Drop dead," I told him and crossed my arms.
"Ah, c'mon," he said. "Look, I'm sorry for acting like an ass or whatever. Seeming as though you have no other place, how about a little joy ride?" he gave me that grin.
I sighed. "I don't even know your name," I said.
He looked a little hesitant, then said: "Parker. My names Parker. You?"
I smiled. "Grace."
"Well, Grace, How about that ride?" he sighed, putting his chest an inch from mine. He looked down at me. He was about a half of a head taller than me, but it was kissing level. I pushed the thought away and stared into his dark eyes.
"Fine," I finally said. "A quick one."
"Promise." he said. We walked to his car and I got shotgun. I strapped myself in, but Parker didn't.
"Seatbelt?" I said. He gave me a cocky smile. "They're not really my thing. Now, hang on."
He put it into drive and went at least thirty miles over the speed limit, out of town, into the desert. I couldn't help but gasp at the cars amazing speed.
We drove ten miles with the windows down. It thrilling, going so fast. Optimus usually is around the speed limit, and I never get to race with Bee. This Parker guy was actually not that bad.
"Having fun?" I heard him yell.
"Hell yeah!" I yelled back.
"Just you wait!" he went faster. We went about 12 miles until he turned back. The whole way I was kept at the edge of my seat, watching as everything flashed by in nanoseconds.
We pulled over at the school. Detention will be over in a minute or two, which meant Optimus would be here soon. Coming back was like the end of the greatest roller coaster in the world.
I got out and got a chance to breathe. Parker also got up and said, "Well?"
I grinned. "Okay, I'd admit. That was awesome." I said. He smiled like it was Christmas morning.
"So...boyfriend and girlfriend?" he asked, timidly. This was a life desicion.
I thought about it. But then I stared into his eyes and forgot everything but yes. With that, I leaned onto his muscular body and kissed. He did too. He was so strong that he forced me onto the hood of the car. I ran my fingers along his back and he had his on my neck.
A minute or two later, he retreated. I got off and watch as he drove off. Then, Optimus showed up. Lucy's gonna like this.
Turns out, Luc and Bulkhead went on a little adventure of their own. They found this thing called the Harvester that sucks energon out of things. Including 'bots.
Right now, we were gathered around a picture that Luc took of the painting, telling them that Bulkhead was actually smart about breaking the painting. But Em found out there was one in a museum. Hence us having to steal the Harvester. Great, what a night.
The 'bots bridged out, leaving us with a giant lifter. Ratchet bridged us there, leaving us in an old museum.
Em was controlling the lifter. She drove us to a room with a dinosaur skeleton, and a statue of a god with the Harvester in its hands. She lifted us up and we saw Optimus give us the signal. While Em and Luc moved the Harvester, I was in charge of lookout.
Two cars, one a red sports car and the other a blue armored truck, came to Optimus's side. One launched a missile straight towards the museum!
Optimus transformed and caught it, resulting in the glass cracking. He turned to see if we were okay, but didn't see the other guy hit him with a taser!
"Where'd the 'cons getting a freaking taser!" cried Luc as she pushed the Harvester on off the hand and now was lowering it on the lifter.
I couldn't watch as Knockout tasered Optimus on the ground. I bit my finger and watched in the horror movie.
"I gotta help him!" I finally cried. I hand gripped my shoulder.
"You can't! Not without setting off the alarm! Don't worry. We gotta get the Harvester out of here and back at base." said Em. I took a deep breathe and nodded. Luc put the Harvester on the ground and cracked her knuckles.
"Man, that thing was heavy!" she cried. Then, we heard a thump as Bulkhead charged at the blue 'con. The 'con hit him, causing him to collide with the red one, onto the pillar and smashing it, causing the place to rumble and set the alarm off.
"We gotta get out of here!" cried Luc.
"Agreed. Em, let's bail!" I cried.
"On it!" she yelled as she lowered the lifter. Luc went on to scout ahead and she opened a garage door. We drove through and saw the boots of Arcee!
"Guys! Arcee!" cried Luc. But it wasn't Arcee. The body belonged to Soundwave.
"Uh oh!" cried Em.
"We protect the Harvester!" I cried, jumping down and standing my ground. He opened the door, towering over us.
I needed to act fast! I lifted some crates and flung them at him. He used his arms and tentacle things to block him Luc swung at his leg, causing him to stumble back.
"Is that all you got, 'con scum!" she cried. Em joined the fight and the three of us stood side by side. Soundwave swung at us, resulting Luc and I flying into the wall. Em used her power to go through it.
That's when Soundwave shot at the ground, flinging Em into the wall. As we recovered from shock, we saw Soundwave with the Harvester, flying off.
"Dammit!" I yelled and ran for Optimus. Thankfully he was still alive, along with the others.
"Guys! The 'cons got the Harvester!" I yelled.
"We got the message." said Bulkhead in defeat. "What happened to you guys?"
"Oh, we tried to fight. Soundwave 1. Us 0." said Luc, catching her breath.
"This is so not cool." said Luc.
"No kidding." said Em.
Shortly afterward, Optimus bridged Arcee, Bee, and himself across the world, leaving Bulkhead and Ratchet to deal with the fake Harvester. Luc and I played video games to occupy us.
"So..." I said boredly.
"So, did you talk to the guy?" she asked.
"His names Parker. He...drove me around." The game paused. I looked at Luc and she was opened mouthed.
"And?!" she cried.
"We're-kind of dating-ish." I said. Luc threw her arms around me and screamed, "YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!"
"Luc, can't breathe!" I cried and she let go.
"I'm happy for ya." she said.
"I am too." I said and we laughed and continued to play.
To make a long story short, Bulkhead destroyed the Harvester, ruined Starscreams plans and the end. Happy ending. Wrong. I've gotta say, things are getting more chaotic lately. What with the two new 'cons, my new boyfriend, and especiallly our powers, which have seemed to be getting stronger and stronger each passing second. I'm starting to worry that they might lead to something bad real soon.
To make all matters worse, yet somewhat good in a way, it was this spring that my older brother John was coming back from the army. With him around, life at Team Prime will never be the same again.
I wonder if 'Parker' is really 'Parker'. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Hope ya enjoyed! John will be entering very soon and I told you even though I said I wouldn't. Dang it!
Review! Fav! I'm out! Bye bye ;)
