"I need you to stay here, all right? You got to stay here and you're gonna watch them." Sam told Mikaela.
"Okay, okay." She nodded.
"All of them. Do you hear what I'm saying?" He asked.
"Yeah, okay, okay." She responded quite annoyed.
"Five minutes, all right?" He continued until I dragged him towards the house saying, "It'll be longer than that, I promise."
"Thanks for staying on my path." Dad said through the screen door as we ran up.
"Oh, yeah. No, no, Dad. Hey! The, oh, the path. I'm sorry. I forgot about the path. I'm gonna sweep the whole thing right now. How about that?" Sam responded as he slammed into the door to keep dad in the house.
"You know, I buy half your cars-" Dad started.
"Yeah." Sam and I nodded.
"Then I bail you out of jail and then I just decided to do all your chores." He finished.
I could sense sudden anger from behind us.
"You were arrested?" Optimus asked angrily.
One look at Sam and dad told me that I was the only one who had heard as they continued their conversation. I glanced around confused.
"Only you can hear me Melony , you're telepathic. Now answer the question." Came Optimus' voice again as I saw him transform out of the corner of my eye.
"No! Sam was not me!" I shouted in my head in a panic.
Sam noticed to and instantly distracted dad.
"No, no, no, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do the trash cans and I'm gonna scrape the grill and I'm gonna, I'm gonna sweep up the whole, uh, house. Right now." He said. No he wouldn't.
"Tonight, right now?" Dad asked.
"Right now." Sam nodded. Lier.
Suddenly Bee was right next to us.
"Shh, shh shh." He whispered as he noticed I had started to silently freak out.
"The- uh- I love you. God, I love you just so much right now." Sam covered as he leaned against the door frame to him Bee from dad's view.
"You know, Mom wanted me to ground you both. You're three minutes late." Dad pointed out.
"Right? Oh, well, just another thing you did for us, Dad, because you're such a swell guy." Sam replied.
"One more thing, huh?" Dad asked as he walked farther back into the house.
"All right, I love you! Sleep good, handsome man!" Sam called after him.
"Smooth." I commented sarcastically as Sam and I turned to each other. He glared at me until we noticed Optimus stepped over the fence and bushed into the yard.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? No, watch the path! Watch the path! Watch the- please, please, please. No, no, wait. No, no, no! Oh, no!" Sam said as he ran up and tried to stop Optimus but it was too late, dad's fountain was smashed to bits by Optimus' foot.
"Oh- oops. Sorry. My bad." Optimus said sheepishly as he picked up his foot and saw the smashed fountain.
I sighed and squatted beside it.
"It's alright. Do I have any special ability that'll allow me to fix it before they notice?" I asked.
"No. Persephanie is the telekinetic, you're the telepathic." He shook his head.
"Well I guess we could say Sam and I were messing around and I shoved him back only for him to crashing into it. I've got enough saved up still to at least help buy a new one." I shrugged.
"Wait why do you get to be the one that shoved me?" Sam questioned.
I gave him a look that clearly said "seriously?" and he instantly went, "Right we need to sound realistic."
"You couldn't wait for five- you couldn't wait for five minutes? I told you to stay! Just stay!" He then scolded Optimus, who only looked down at us quizzingly, before he ran over to Mikaela.
"I told you to watch them. I told you."
"Okay, you know what? They seem to be in a little bit of a rush." She replied angrily.
Things just kept getting worse as the other Autobots entered the yard and Mojo then ran out of the house and right up to Ironhide.
He proceeded to raise his leg on the giant robot's foot.
"Mojo, Mojo! Off the robot! God!" Sam exclaimed as he ran forward not in time.
"Nnh, wet." Ironhide said as his now wet toe flicked Mojo away.
"No no no no no no! Easy! Easy! Hold on! Hold! This is Mojo. This is Mojo. He's a pet of mine. He's a pet. Okay? That's all." Sam exclaimed as he picked up Mojo and backed up a bit.
"Hhh." Ironhide grunted.
"If you could just put the guns away... Put the- put them away. Please." Sam almost begged.
"You have a rodent infestation."
"A what?" I questioned as I stood.
"Shall I terminate?" Ironhide asked Sam as he pointed his cannons at Mojo and Sam.
"No no no no. He's not a rodent, he's a chihuahua. This is my- this is my chihuahua. We love chihuahuas! Don't we?" Sam replied as Mikaela ran up to him.
"He's leaked lubricants all over my foot. Hnnh."
"He peed on you? Bad Mojo. Bad Mojo!"
"Bad Mojo."
"I'm sorry. He's got a male dominance thing. That's all it is."
"Hhh. My foot's gonna rust."
I doubled over laughing.
"A- All you care about- is your foot rusting!?" I asked between fits of laughter.
"Why you little-"
"Easy Hide. Prime's daughter remember?" Sunstreaker said as he stepped forward and halted Ironhide.
"Little fragger." Ironhide muttered.
"So what was that about you getting arrested Melony?" Sunstreaker asked.
"Sam was arrested not me! You were even there you idiot! I've never been arrested in my entire life." I replied.
The Bots all stared at me.
"What?" I questioned.
"The four times you broke into the archives." Optimus said.
"The time you broke into my medical facility." Ratchet added.
"The seven times you interrupted a gladiator match in the pits of Kaon." Sunstreaker continued.
"After the high speed chase around the Sea of Rust." Jazz spoke up.
"The three times you broke into the weapons vault in Iacon and the two times you broke into the one in Cyber City." Ironhide grunted.
"And the five times you broke into the The Well of Allsparks." Bee added as he and Sunstreaker squatted on either side of me.
"Alright I get it! I'm not the best with authority! Let it go!" I shouted as I turned and punched Sunstreaker in the leg.
"Hey watch the paint! Geez you dented me!" He exclaimed as he jumped up and examined to fist shaped dent.
"You've really been arrested that many times Melony? How many even was that?" Sam asked.
"23." Mikaela replied after mentally tallying them all up.
"I wasn't exactly a ninja ok? Now go look for those glasses, I'll babysit." I said as I shoo'd Sam and Mikaela into the house.
"All right. All right. Shut up and go hide!" Sam called back at the bots.
"Just hurry." Optimus replied with obvious annoyance and I rolled my eyes.
It was gonna be a long night.
