Hope it's to your expectations! Enjoy!
The next day, Mikaela woke up slowly. She had the weirdest dream about giant robots. As she lay in her bed, her perplexed look of only turned to a shrug as she sat up. Wherever that dream had come from, she couldn't figure out. She stretched and moved to the side of the bed, rubbing her face and trying to chase away the images from the previous night. She slowly stood up and stretched more, going to the bathroom to take a shower and prepare for another boring day at the hospital.
After her shower, she requested some coffee and went to the window. What she hadn't expected to see was the pair of Lamborghinis from the previous day to be still sitting there. Silently she wondered if the owners had a life. She shrugged it off as she stared at them.
The nurse brought her in her coffee and she leaned on the window sill as she stared down at the cars. She smiled mischeviously as she stood up and went to the door. The doctor was about to enter and she stopped, "I don't want to talk today, I want to go outside, get some fresh air," she told him and he let her pass without a second thought.
She walked out the front door with her coffee in hand and looked around, judging where her room was, she looked for the two cars that had caught her attention. The first thing that did was a lime green Search and Rescue Hummer that was sitting not far from the entrance. She figured that it had just brought in someone and paid little attention, only wrinkling her nose at the blaring color.
Turning from the nasty colored Hummer, she spotted bright yellow and next to it, red. Bingo. She tilted her head with a smile and headed for the two gorgeous machines. She made her way up next to them and stood there, sipping her coffee, taking in the fine lines of both of them as she then smiled again.
Sideswipe suddenly became nervous. She was checking them both out. He wasn't entirely sure why he was feeling nervous. Perhaps it was because he was afraid she would reject him. He didn't even twitch a tire as he sat there while she stared at him and then…
PRIMUS! She placed her hand on his spoiler! He inwardly sighed. How much he missed her touch. He still didn't move while her hand traced over the spoiler and then over his tail light. He wanted so badly to just bring his holo-form to life and grab her and hold her, but he knew…. He knew deep down he would scare her. Baby steps, indeed.
Mikaela continued to touch the car, feeling the soft paint and metal under her fingers and palm. What a beautiful machine it was. She lazily walked up beside the car and kept her hand along the roof as she did so, getting to the hood, she lightly traced the contours of where the panels met the trunk. She traced the headlights lightly, peering around to see if the owner would come and yell at her for touching his prized car, but no one came. However a noise made her jump.
Click.
The door hissed lightly as it pulled away from the body of the car. She paused to see where the sound had come from and noticed the door was slightly ajar. She wondered to herself how it had opened and why the owner would leave it unlocked in the open like this, but didn't give it much thought, instead she smiled and walked to it and took the handle in her hand and lifted the door. She leaned down to peer into the car. It was as immaculate inside as it was outside. Not a spot n it. It's black interior screamed at her to get in and she grinned as she stood straight and looked around, still watching for some person to come yelling at her. Still no one came, and she set the coffee on the ground and leaned down to sit in the exotic.
The grin still plastered to her face, she lightly ran her hands over the seats, the console, the dashboard and the steering wheel.
/Ratchet! Sunny! Look!/ Sideswipe sent over the Autobot channel that the three had created to talk to each other.
/I see, Sideswipe, just don't spook her,/ Ratchet's calm voice came back.
/She's sitting in me! She's touching me! Do you think she'll remember?/
/Bro, calm down before you do something stupid,/ Sunstreaker suddenly chastised
/Oh… Oh, right,/ Sideswipe went silent as he waited to see what Mikaela would do next.
Mikaela reached for the door and pulled it down, closing herself in the cockpit of the car.
/I'm gonna try something,/ Sideswipe suddenly said over the comm.
/Don't do anything stupid, bro,/ Sunstreaker said.
/You know me,/
/That's what I'm talking about, Sides,/
/Humph,/ Sideswipe replied indignantly as he suddenly turned on the radio. Mikaela jumped and stared at the dash, wondering why it had turned on. It seemed to go through stations by itself until it stopped and the music started out low and turned up slowly.
Every day and every night,
I always dream that you are by my side.
Oh baby, every day and every night
Well, I said everything's gonna be alright
And I'll fly with you,
I'll Fly with you,
I'll fly with you
And the radio went silent. Mikaela raised her brow slowly, curious what song that was, however pretty it was. She smiled again, "This is such a trip!" She whispered in slight excitement. She continued to hold onto the steering wheel as she stared at the dash expectantly, wondering if it would play anything else.
/I didn't scare her!/ Sideswipe called with excitement as he searched for another song. If he couldn't speak directly to her, he would speak to her through song. He had heard about Bumblebee doing this when he couldn't speak to Sam when they first met. Back then, Mikaela hadn't been afraid, so perhaps… just maybe…
The radio started out low, so not to scare her as it played another song.
do you believe we happened for a reason?
('cuz you know I do)
And could you believe that this was meant to be?
and she said yeah yeah yeah
and she said yeah yeah yeah
The way your body moves is so amazing
I just can't wait to show you what I do
The way you get so cool it must be freezing
Let me pull you close I'll give my heat to you
Do you believe we happened for a reason?
('cuz you know i do)
And could you believe that this was meant to be?
And the radio went silent again. Mikaela furrowed her brows in puzzlement at the song. She didn't know it, so she didn't even dare to try to place it. But what she was realizing more was that these particular songs were all love songs. How cute. Whoever had this car listened to love songs. Perhaps they were in love themselves. She smiled.
While she sat there, she furrowed her brows as a fleeting memory came to her. She closed her eyes to see it better:
"You've been quiet," The man said to her as he drove – no sped down the road.
"I know," She spoke to the man in the driver's seat, "I been thinking, actually,"
"About what?" he asked.
"Well, like what's gonna happen now."
"What do you mean, Mika?"
And the memory faded. She opened her eyes slowly. She pieced the memory together in her mind. She was sitting in a car at the time. A fast car. Which looked… her brows shot up in surprise and her mouth went agape as she realized it was a Lamborghini much like this one! The man. She thought about the man she had spoken to in the memory and gasped when she realized that the man she had seen yesterday standing next to this car looked eerily similar to the one in her dream, "Sideswipe?" She whispered, "was that your name?" she asked no one in particular.
There was no response, but if she could see the car under her squirming, she would probably had jumped out right then and there. Sideswipe so badly wanted to say something to her, but felt it wasn't the right time just yet. Instead he only sat there silently.
"Alright, you crazy car. For some reason you bring me some kind of memories." She sat back in the seat and made herself comfortable, resting her head back as she closed her eyes, "Let's see what else you can bring back to me." And as if by some kind of miracle, another memory hit her.
"Prowl called," he said to her as if to answer her before she even asked.
"What's wrong?"
"There's Decepticons around here, I am taking you home for now, he wants me to check it out,"
"I can't go?"
He shook his head at her and frowned, "I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I lost you, Mika,"
"Sides, I'm stronger than I look,"
She opened her eyes, confusion laced in her features, "Who or what the hell is a Prowl?" She whispered, shaking her head. Her memories only seemed to be getting more and more confusing, "And what the fuck is a Decepticon?!" she nearly yelled. If she hadn't jumped with the yell, show would have felt the wheels twitch on the car, apparently she had startled him as well.
Music began to play as the radio searched another song. Again it was low and the volume rose until it was loud enough to hear, but not too loud.
When I get home, babe, gonna light your fire
All day I've been thinkin' about you, babe
You're my one desire
Gonna wrap my arms around you
Hold you close to me
Oh, babe I wanna taste your lips
I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah
Mikaela leaned her head up to look at the dash curiously once again, "I am going to assume I was with a guy who owned a Lamborghini like this," She said thoughtfully.
I don't what I'd do without you, babe
Don't know where I'd be
You're not just another lover
No, you're everything to me
Ev'rytime I'm with you, baby
I can't believe it's true
When you're layin' in my arms
And you do the things you do
You can see it in my eyes
I can feel it in your touch
You don't have to say a thing
Just let me show how much
I love you, I need you, yeah
She watched the dash longer, trying to piece everything together. Just as she was in the middle of piecing things together, another memory flooded her.
Not far she saw a red one and another dark red one with flames on it's body. Her memory switched to that same voice coming from the red robot, "Sunstreaker isn't the one you should worry about, Hot Shot," Just then the red one grabbed a hold of the youngling with both hands and moved to stand, lifting it off the ground. His 'eyes' churned purple as he glared at the youngling, "it's me,"
Then there was as a blur as she saw a yellow car fly over her head and hit the ground and then it… transformed into a giant robot.
Just like that, the memory ended and she actually felt herself out of breath, "What the fuck?!" she suddenly yelled at the dash, as if it would answer her, "Is my life about giant robots and Lamborghinis?" And that is when her eyes went to the yellow Lamborghini. Her jaw clenched as she realized that that car was probably the one from her memory.
Just then the sound of clapping came over the radio followed with that familiar voice, "And she gets it," and the radio went silent.
"What?" She squinted her eyes slightly, staring at the dash with incredulously, "I know you didn't just talk to me,"
In a volume that she could barely hear, came a reply, "Yes... I did,"
Silence.
Sideswipe half expected her to jump out of him and run for the hospital and scream that there was a talking car. She didn't move, however, only shifted her seat and folded her arms as she bit her bottom lip, "Ok," she said, trying to figure all of this out loud, "You can talk?"
"Yup," Sideswipe replied, this time louder.
"Uh huh," she nodded, "And that yellow Lamborghini and you are robots?"
"You got it, Mika,"
"And you're the one from my memories," she point accusingly at the steering wheel.
"Yep," He replied.
"I see," She huffed, "I am going nuts!" she unfolded her arms and went to get out, but Sideswipe spoke up.
"Mika, please, don't leave me again," he nearly begged her. She stopped and looked at the dashboard a long moment, as if in thought, "Come with me,"
"And go where?" she asked with a laugh.
The engine started and she jumped. Beside her she noticed movement and saw the yellow car pull out from it's parking spot, "You have got to be shitting me," she said lowly.
"I wouldn't shit you, Mika, you're my favorite turd," he said gently as he put himself in reverse. She couldn't help but laugh at the stupid comment, "Are you ready?"
"What else do I have to do?"
At that, he backed up and followed the yellow car, "Remember us, Mika,"
Next Chapter: Will they finally be in peace? Will Decepticons come and ruin their moment? Will Sideswipe do something stupid? Guess you'll have to wait and see!!
