21 Ok, before anyone asks. YES, Ellie is dressed in the Harajuku style! Yes I know you only see it at anime convention's here in America, but in Japan, it's an every day fashion. As in you can walk down the street in Tokyo and see people dressed up like anime character's and the only people staring at them are the tourists. Personally? I love the style. I think it's totally fantastic and I have several Harajuku type outfit's. Ellie's outfit, is toned down believe it or not. I was thinking of making her a Lolita type Harajuku, which would mean wearing clothing that look's like doll clothes. Hint Chii from Chobit's dresses Gothic Lolita style, but figured since she was going to be living in the US I wouldnt. There is a back story here, where I will explain why Ellie is Japanese and how she and Hot Rod met. And no, we havent seen the end of Sparkplug, Jazz or the Matrix. Ellie Takahara, is written in honor of my bestest friend Kennichi, who has filled my life with much Japanese goodness So... DOMO KENNICHI-KUN! AI SHITERU! SQUEE! Disclaimer thingy: Dont own Transformer's.I don't own Gackt. I really wish I did. Gackt is hot. I most certianly dont own Shonen Jump and I am not affiliated with them in any way.I don't won Julliard. I couldnt afford to go to Julliard if I wanted to. I am not affliated with them in any way. Squee. I DO own this story, Ellie Takahara and Sparkplug. Feel free to use them.

Chapter 21, Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto.

Since Bee ditched a very confused Sam, he was now riding in the passenger seat of a very nice orange Ferrari Enzo. Gackt was singing through the radio. He had only known the japanese singer was called Gackt, because Ellie had told him. He had also learned from Ellie, that Gackt was the sexiest bishi boi in the world.

Sam "So... How did you meet Hot Rod?"

Ellie "I bought him."

Sam "What car form did he have when you bought him?"

Ellie "This one, but bright red."

Sam blinked "He is a Ferrari right?"

Ellie "2005 Ferrari Enzo, custom."

Sam "How much did you pay for him?"

Ellie "Lessee, in American Dollar's... "

Hot Rod "2.6 million."

Sam had a look of awe on his face "That's...Alot of money"

Ellie grinned "My parent's own Shonen Jump"

Sam stared "The Japanese Publishing Company?"

Ellie, nodded "Hai. Hot Rod was a birthday present, sorta. My parent's bought me a house here, after I got out of Julliard. I decided I wanted a car instead. Sold the big house, bought a smaller house and a Ferrari."

Sam "Wait, you went to Julliard?"

Ellie "Graduated three years ago"

Sam "You dance?"

Ellie "Nope. I sing."

Hot Rod "She's got one hell of a voice."

Sam "So, where are you from?"

Ellie "Okinawa Japan, I've been here 9 years."

Sam "So, what are you doing here?"

Ellie "Hot Rod told me he had to go. I told him I was going with him. Here I am."

Sam, blinking "You up and left everything?"

Ellie, not seeming phased in the slightest "Yep."

Hot Rod, sounding proud. "That's my Ellie. Girl has spunk."

Ellie "So, what about you? How'd you meet Bumblebee?"

Sam "My dad bought him from a used car dealership. He turned out to be a giant robot. After I stopped freaking, we became friends. We've been together ever since. "

Ellie "I bet your dad is pretty excited about that. You ever let him drive Bee?"

Sam, looking almost sad "My parent's died 10 years ago. If they had been driving Bee, they probably would still be here."

Ellie "Gosh I'm sorry..."

Sam, smiling sadly. "It's ok. I got Bee. He make's everything alright."

Ellie, nodding understandably. "Yeah, that's how it is with us too. Together forever, huh Rod?"

Hot Rod "Until the day I rust away "

Sam blinked "You guys almost sound like an old married couple."

Ellie, leaning forward and placed a kiss on the steering wheel. Hot Rod revved his engine "May as well be. Rod and I are a team. Arent you and Bee?"

Sam, thought about it. "Yeah..."

Hot Rod "He's been tailing us for the past 10 miles. Wanna get out and talk to him?"

Sam blinked, he hadnt noticed "Yeah... I probably should."

The Ferrari stopped and the passanger's door opened. As Sam looked at the yellow camaro pulling to a stop behind it, he thought long and hard about everything they had been through.
