Sorry it took so long. But, here it is. Spelling is terrible, I know, but I had not time for spell check. Will fix later. Hope you like it.
We all heard the front door open and close, many voices speaking at once. At first, I at least, didn't understand any of it. Then, things quieted down and I could hear Robert speak.
"Shareeka couldn't make it. She's with her huspand, and couldn't make it."
"Didn't they get married last year? Little early to be cutting herself off from the rest of the family, don't you think?" Will asked.
"Ah, we got four more." Monique shrugged. There was laughing and then someonce complained about getting hit.
"So, are you going to finaly tell us why you called us out here?" Bobby asked. There was silence for a moment and then something fell.
"Sorry." a younger male voice came.
Bee laughed slightly before we went back to listening.
"Yeah, well, we're having a bit of an emergency." Will said hesitently. "The, uh, enemy, has been spotted in the area. A few old friends of ours have contacted me recently." While most of them had no idea what he was talking about, Bobby caught on.
"Oh, well, are we sure the enemy is headed this way?" he asked seriously, trying not to give anything away.
"Ah, no, but it's highly suspected."
"What did our, friends, have to say? Only speaking about old times?"
"Well, no. Not exactly. Less like they called, more like, they stopped in." there was a pause before Epps replied.
"Oh, well, are they expected to be back, or did we miss them?"
"They're still here. It's kind of an emergency. They want to be sure the enemy doesn't come back." Will was struggling to say things unconspiciously. I knew the Epps family was confused right now.
"Ok, if this 'enemy' is in the area and these 'old friends' are here, then wouldn't this be buisness between you two? Why couldn't you just call him?" Monique asked.
"Well, it's not that easy." Bobby started, trying to explain to his wife.
"Yeah, they're kind of here illigaly."
"What? You two used to be soldiers, and you're housing illigal aliens?" Shaniqua asked.
"Well, in their deffence, the government was unfair." Will said quickly.
"But, they're still here illigaly. You could go to jail! They'll just get deported. Where do they come from?" She was completely off the trail.
"Uh, nowhere near here. So far away, it doesn't exist completely anymore." I shifted, thinking of Cybertron through the stories they'd told me. It used to be a very prosperous and functional planet. It saddens me, and I didn't even live there. To think of what they're thinking on the matter. Luckily, they spoke again quickly.
"In what demintion does that make sence?" She asked over exagerating.
"Shaniqua," Bobby sighed. "This is, just, over your head."
"Hey!" Mozambiqua objcted. I knew them, mostly their voices. Couldn't pick them out by face nearly as well as face. "We don't like being treated as kids."
"And you wont be." Will said suddenly.
"William-" Epps started warningly.
"There's a reason I called your whole family here. It's more than just our 'old friends' here. The boy's here. It's really serious, and I'll need you to stay out here for a while. Sara and Annabelle already know, and we need to get as many others here as possible. The government doesn't know yet, and the 'enemies' are surely on their way here. The 'friends' say they were headed direcly here."
"What more could the want? The big Cube thing's gone, so is the Pyramid of Destruction." Epps complained. "They've been gone for twenty years- wait. The boy? He disapeared. I thought eigther the enemies came back to off him or our old friends came back to kidnap him."
"Wait, so, now not only are they illigal aliens, but also kidnappers? How are they your friends? Where do you know them from? From when you were over seas?" Monique asked, getting annoyed.
"What's this?" Fred asked and the house went quiet from the interuption.
"That's called a book." Sheleeka said as if talking to a child. "People back in the seventeen-hundreds used to read them, instead of video games and TV."
"I know what a book is." the young boy rolled his eyes. "I mean, I've never heard of this one. I did a project on military books, and stuff like that, but I've never seen this symbol." through the window I could see Epps take it from him. "Hey!"
"Will, why do you have this laying around? Why do you even still have it?" He asked.
"I told you, Sara and Annabelle already know. I was showing it to them after the 'old friends' and the boy left to the base last night." Will sighed.
"What is it then?" Fred asked.
"It's the book of rules and oaths for initiation into NEST." Will said.
"What's that? I've seen the letters on one of Dad's T-shirts." Sheleeka piped up, getting more curious.
"William is certainly taking a long time." Ratchet spoke.
"I'll go help him out. Once they see me, there's no going back." I supplied.
"Are you sure? Will'll get 'em out here soon enough." Ironhide defended his partner.
"Yeah, while you hold onto your rabbit's foot," I reached for the door and realized the door was still locked. "Bee?"
"What? I did tell you I'd turned evil." he laughed slightly.
"Bumblebee, let him out. I also doubt Will's ability to get them ready and bring them out effeciantly." Optimus urged. Reluctantly, Bee unlocked the doors and I stepped out.
"I'll be right back." I swore, turning to the house. I heard the door shut behind me as I stepped up the single step onto the back porch. Not much of a porch, more like a door and a storage area for lawn chairs and what-not.
After looking through the window, I decided they were still argueing. Without hesitation, I walked in very smoothly.
"Honey, I'm home." I announced. They all turned to me. The back door opened into the back of the kitchen, which was connected to the living room and the front door with no wall. "What? Did you want me to pick up some dinner on my way?"
"So, the kid really is back?" Bobby stared in disbelief.
"Yeah. Funny thing that. So are the 'old friends'. Will wasn't lieing, the Decepticons are really, probably back. We really need to get ready." they stared at me.
"Did they send you in? I have this under control." Will insisted.
"Yes, it really sounded like it. Now, do you all remember Egypt?" I asked, facing the Epps family.
"No." Each of the kids said simultaniously.
"Of course you don't you were either not born, or too young." I turned to Monique.
"Uh, well, yes. Bobby fought there. It was a terrorist attack, wasn't it?" she asked. "Arent you..."
"Sam Witwicky. Yeah, I know. I got thecrazy parents that are still making people keep an eye out for me long after the police gave up. As you can see, I ran away for obvious reasons."
"So, you ran away. You didn't, you know, get kidnapped?" Bobby asked.
"Not like they didn't think about it. Or, Bee did at least." I shrugged.
"Bee?" Fred asked.
"Bumblebee, his guardian." WIll explained.
"Are you sure this is really-"
"Yes. Ok, the pyramids were actualy destroyed in a great alien battle." I explained. "Between good and evil. Evil being the 'enemies' and good being the 'old friends'. Ever wonder what your huspand did? He fought along side giant alien robots. Good guys, so don't freak out, and some of them are here. And, the bad guys, the Decepticons, are in the solar system and are expected to come here. They hate this planet and want every human on it to die. The Autobots are here to insure they do not succeed." I paused and looked at all their skeptic gazes and decided to wrap it up.
"There are only six of them out there. All good guys. None of them will hurt you as long as you behave. One might if you go after me, another if you, I don't know, start talking back and get too annoying. Another, don't challange him to anything. I think that's it, but otherwise they're all pretty nice."
"Avoid the one we call 'Ratchet'." Will hinted. Their eyes widened and Bobby hit him upside the head.
"Stop scaring them. Alright, if this is so much an emergency that Optimus lets this happen, then it must be bad. Come on." he sighed.
I spun in my place and opened the door again, walking out. "See Will? That wasn't so hard. I got them out here in about five minutes. How long were you talking to them before hand?" I asked, looking back.
"Shut up kid. I did the hard part." he rolled his eyes. I lead them all back over to the 'bots and stopped short.
Spinning yet again, I guestured to the largest of the vehicles. "Meet Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots." He transformed and nodded to them.
"It's good to see you again, Sergeant Epps." he greeted. "And it's pleasent to meet his family." They were still frozen and could not reply. I turned my whole body to move my extended my arm to the next in line.
"Jazz, first luetendent." He transformed and sat down.
"Hey." he nodded, not saying much else. Bobby grinned. He and Jazz had been nearly as good friends as 'Hide and Will.
"This guy's my partner." he supplied for backround information.
"Ratchet." I moved on. He stood and looked down at them.
"You are aware of the improperly banaged scar on your right arm?" He asked obviously to Fred, who wore long slieves. He snapped out of it and his left hand automaticly snapped to his right elbow.
"Were you out without your elbow-guards?" his mother asked, hitting him upside the head. He grimmised and I moved on.
"Arcee; stealth spy and scout."
"I'm Sara's partner." she smiled kindly. "Pleasure to meet you." Monique nodded, shooting a glare at her son. Her daughters were still straring with wide eyes.
"Ironhide; weapons specilist." I stepped away from both him and Will, figuring something was likely to happen.
"I have one question." he crouched down and stared at Epps' father. "Is he, or is he not, even worth challenging?"
"No, he's really out of shape." he laughed. "Ironhide is Will's partner. They're a lot alike. Only, Ironhide has more 'boom' to him."
"And last, but not least-" I cut them off and turned to Bee, finding he'd already transformed. He picked me up.
"Bumlebee; scout. Just a scout, but I'm also his guardian." He smiled, depositing me on his shoulder.
It was silent for a minute, then Sheleeka screamed. Mozambiqua hit her and she shut up. It was silent again.
I know it's full of mess ups, but again, I had about 0 minutes to spell check. Will fix later. R&R
