Chapter 37: Jennifer Lennox
~Würzburg University~
I stood in front of the huge classy college. It was my first day here at the university. Even though Chris took me here with his red Honda Jazz with his wife; Rose, I was still very nervous in my first day enrolling this college. The students here looked so fancy and prestigious. I glanced down to the clothes I'm wearing. I'm nothing compared to them. I just wore a plain dark green jacket, over a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers, while the students here wore something like a designers' clothing lines or something, I can't really tell because they're wearing furry coat and some aren't. The girls here were speaking to each other really fast, that I even don't know what they were talking about. It took me three years learning how to speak and write in Germany's language and I still need some time to understand some words.
The tall and large building stood proudly as the professors and students came in and out the building carrying books or documents. I glanced down to my papers as I entered the majestic building. First I have to the ceremony for the freshmen, second I have to get my schedule, and third I have to attend my first class of the day. The first problem of the day was that I'm completely lost and completely confused. The halls looked pretty much the same. I've been wondering in the halls for a good ten minutes and the ceremony begins in five minutes! How am I supposed to get pass through these maze halls in such short notice?!
"Haben Sie sich verirrt? (Are you lost?)" A feminine voice questioned from behind as she tapped my shoulder.
"Sieht ganz so aus, ja. Ich habe mich wohl verirrt…(Ah, apparently yes. I am lost…)" I answered with a sheepish smile.
The Germany girl laughed. "Keine Sorge, alle Neuen verirren sich an ihrem ersten Tag! (Don't worry, all freshman got lost at their first day.)" She said with a smile.
She's nice… I thought in my mind. "Thank you… You're very kind." I said.
The Germany girl stared at me for a moment before I realized that I spoke in Germany's language. I face palmed. I should've thanked her in her language, not in mine. Now she might think I'm an outcast or something because of the look she was giving me. Her blonde eyebrows were furrowed down and she was leaning forward, examining my face features. I backed away a step and nervously smile at the girl.
"Ah! So you're the American Student!" She chirped happily in English, but with a German accent.
My eyes widened in shock. "You can speak English?" I asked.
The girl nodded her head happily. "Of course I do! Not well, but still know!" she shook my hand. "The name's Yvonne Aachen. You don't have to introduce yourself. I know who you are! Don't worry about introducing yourself to me Jen! The professor mentioned you a lot in class. He seemed so excited to have you in his class." she grinned.
I nodded my head. "Ah… We'll Yvonne, I think we're going to be good friends."
"Jen! Hier drüben!"
I spun around and smiled at my classmate.
Yvonne, a twenty one year old women with long curly platinum blonde hair and has a pair of deep blue eyes. Her skin was pale and she's a tall young woman, with her five inch red heels. She was wearing a black coat and furry leg warmers. The platinum blonde is what I describe, very stylish. She loves to dress me up as a German's Barbie doll and also keep in touch with her fashion magazine. The young blonde woman is my friend even though she's three years older than me. She's the very first friend I befriend with, here at Germany, when I first arrive at Würzburg University. She has a bubbly personality, cheerful, and of course, kindhearted.
"Yvonne, I thought you were going to be with your boyfriend?" I asked with a smile.
Yvonne shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know… He canceled our date because his grandma was sick." She sighed. Brook is her twenty three year old boyfriend. I met him a few times and he's really nice. Even though he likes to play jokes on the both of us, he's still really nice. They both are perfect for each other, unlike Trent and my sister, Emily. "Anyway… So are you coming for tonight? We're going to the club for some fun! I know you like dancing!" she elbowed my upper arm.
I let out a light chuckle. "No… Chris already invited me to his dinner. It's his one year old son's birthday." I said as I climb on my bicycle.
"Aww… Too bad," Yvonne sighed disappointedly. She was always trying to drag me into a club that has alcohol beverages and floor dancing. I wasn't the party type, so every time Brook or Yvonne asked me to come along with them; I just declined and went straight back to my small rental apartment. "Say happy birthday to little Alex for me! I promise to give the little rascal a present!"
I waved my hand as Yvonne stepped inside her hot pink Lamborghini Aventador. The sport car looks really pinkish, girlish, and has caught many eyes of bystanders. The real reason she got that car was after she watch that musical movie. What was it called again? Musical High? A Musical School? Oh yeah! High School Musical! Yvonne is apparently a huge fan of Gabriella Montez and Sharpay Evans. She said that both girls got the spunk and fashion, especially Sharpay. Yvonne got the idea of a hot pink car because of the scene in High School Musical two and three from the scene Sharpay was driving her car. She was really happy with the hot pink paintjob even though it was kind of weird having a pink Lamborghini. I snickered as I imagine that those Lamborghinis are Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Now I know that they both look pretty in pink.
My bright blue bicycle squeaked as I pulled into a stop. I stared to my left as I window shopped through the windows of a sports car dealer. Those cars reminded me of my friends back at Tranquility, Nevada.
I really can't believe that it has already been a year since I've left Tranquility; it was a month after Thundercracker helped me escape from the airport. William and Sarah were very kind to adopt me as their daughter. It was weird at the first week living at their house, but I got used to it after the first week was over. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker seemed a bit disappointed when Optimus told them that Ironhide will be our (William, Sarah, Annabelle, and myself) guardian. Once again, the Autobot leader suggested that I bring a Cybertronian to Germany. But once more, I declined that offer. It would be suspicious when a girl who lives in a small rental apartment could have such an expensive car. The good news is that the Decepticons didn't even find out that I was going to college in Germany.
My cell phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket. I stopped at the sidelines near the block where my apartment is and checked my phone. I've got a message from Samuel, saying that he got in Princeton University! It's one of the prestigious colleges in New Jersey. I bet that Ron would be furious on how much the college cost for a year and I'm pretty sure that Judy would call him a cheapo. I chuckled to myself. Yeah, that will surely happen in the Witwicky family.
We still chatted through video-chat and kept on sending e-mails, secretly through the private link where Decepticons can't track anything inside the links down. We all thanked Soundwave for his genius in technology. Every time I video-chat with the Autobots, they were all so hilarious! Either Mudflap or Skids would end up fighting each other and it was enough to make me laugh; they were the funniest pair of twins. The CMO, Moonracer, and Jolt would also ask on the progress in college. They were concern that I might be stressed out by being a doctor, but I wasn't and was managed to deal with the homework, assignments, and test were given in class.
Barricade and Soundwave, the overprotective brother would ask if any mech has bothered me or something. I only chuckled at their ridiculous questions. I also chatted with a new Autobot that arrived two months after I left. Optimus told me that he's the very first Autobot seeker that arrived at Earth. I was excited to meet him in person. He seems very nice through the whole chat. He had a look that almost a resemblance to both Bumblebee and his brother, Blurr, which I always thought that they looked like brothers.
The Autobot Seeker is named Breakaway.
Breakaway may seemed to be young as Bumblebee, but I got a few complaints from Ratchet and Sunstreaker. The young seeker would scratch Sunstreaker's paintjob and would cause a dent or two on Ironhide, which leaded him directly straight to Med Bay where Ratchet is there, fuming about the dents that has been caused at least twice a day. He also chatted with me both with his holoform and bi-pedal mode. His holoform looked like a twenty three year old man with spiky un-human white hair, which I think it's pretty cool, and he also has a pair of electric blue eyes. His bi-pedal mode is an F-35 Lightning II, complete with rotating cannons.
There was a loud bell being hit twice, signaling that it was already four in the afternoon. I tucked into my jacket and pedaled towards the apartment. I arrived at the front and parked my bicycle on the racks and chained it to the metal bars. My rental apartment was at the third floor, second door to the right from the stairs. It has a fantastic view of the city and the amazing sunset at every six in the afternoon. I sometimes send the pictures to William.
I reached into my pockets and grabbed the keys. I opened the door and flick the lights on as I entered the apartment. It was fair and cheap too. I may sound like Ron right now, but it was a good price. I need the extra money for food and other things that I need to survive. The apartment was no larger than the first floor of my old house, but it was enough for me. There's a small kitchen to the left from the entrance, a dining room plus a small screen TV across from the kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Chris and Rose offered for me to stay at their house, but I refused to stay at a house that's like a mansion.
My laptop was placed on my desk at the bedroom. I opened it and waited as the laptop was loading. I decided to finish my report on the human brain for my Biology report. I was just almost finished with my report when all of a sudden; a pop-up appeared on my laptop's screen. I stared at it closely before grinning to myself. I placed on the Bluetooth USB for non-tracking and headphones for communication. I waited as it loaded after I pressed the answer button.
"Jen!" I cringed at the loud frequency on the headphones. I adjusted the frequency and smiled nervously at the web-cam. William was calling me, like he always did once every two days. Apparently Friday is one of the days he called. I just realized that the one who shouted at the headphone wasn't William's voice. It was someone else's. "How are 'ya? We missed you! When are you coming back? It's been a year now!" the voice continued to yell.
I laughed nervously as the laptop's screen began to stop fizzling out and the image became clearer.
"Back off dumbass! You set the frequency on loud!" William pushed away a silhouette as the screen began to clear. The black haired soldier quickly gave me a smile as I waved my hand to my dad. That was a bit weird, calling William dad inside my head. "Hey there Jen, how are you doing right there? Good?" He asked.
I nodded my head. "Yeah… I've been good, got another project to do with Yvonne." I answered with a short laugh.
"Ah… Crazy Professor?" William snickered.
"You have no idea…" I mumbled with a slight smile. It wasn't nice to talk people on their backs, but Professor Lou was a bit loose on the brain. He loves to give assignment to us and would ask us to do another even though the last one wasn't finished. "Anyway, how are the Autobots? Good? They aren't causing much trouble back at base right?" I asked.
"You have no idea…" William pinched the bridge of his nose. He seemed frustrated for a moment before explaining after seeing my confused look. "Well let's start, first Breakaway was training with Ironhide and Barricade, and then something happened between a certain annoying asshole came barging inside the hangar without any of us noticing and it ended up ain't pretty." He shook his head as he sighed deeply.
I nodded my head, understanding the situation. "Director Galloway is being another pain in your days once more?" I asked and William nodded. "Which ended up probably Breakaway almost stepping on Director Galloway, Ironhide almost blast Director Galloway, and Barricade almost crushed him under his weight, correct?" I asked, as if I knew what happened.
William gave me a so-so, "You might say that… Except you're missing a part," he began to snickered and soon turned into laughter. "Director Galloway blew a fuse and Ratchet actually sedated him because Epps made up a story of a disease. It's called 'Galloway syndrome'. It a disease that could make anyone's face got red from anger, cause infection, contagious to both humans and aliens, and would make the carrier of the disease die from fuming. And of course, Ratchet fell for it." He let a grin escaped his lips.
"Galloway syndrome? I think you could make a joke with that…" I said with a confused tone.
William laughed as I said the made up syndrome a bit quick. "Yo Epps!" He cupped his mouth and yelled to the African-American man, who responded with a loud 'what'. "Try saying Galloway Syndrome quickly for over ten times!" he continued.
There was a pause. I presume that Robert is trying to say the syndrome quickly.
"Now who's the Princess that lost her shoe?" William snickered.
"Princess Galloway." Robert answered proudly. "Wait! What the hell?" He confusedly asked as laughter filled my headphones.
"Why on earth would Robert call Galloway a Princess?" I asked, joining the laughter from the background. I kept on hearing them saying the syndrome, but a few more Cybertronians, but I can still hear their laughter. Although I can't hear Ratchet's voice or his laughter from the background, I'm guessing he's the one who's going to blow a circuit now. "Stop saying that syndrome really fast! I might have it stuck in my head!" I laughed.
"Okay, okay," William wiped his tears away from his eyes and took a deep breath before smiling. "So have you decided which doctor you're going to be?" He asked.
I shook my head. "I can't really decide just yet… Still thinking." I simply replied.
Actually, I can't really decide between being a Pediatrician, a Pediatric Oncologist, or a Pediatric Neurologist. It was pretty hard, but I defiantly want to cure children's sickness from any disease. I have exactly two months to figure out on what specialist I'm going to be in the future. My Professor also asked me to decide quickly, so he can focus on that one thing in my studies.
"Where are the others?" I asked with a smile.
William gave a whistle. "Apparently, the only one's here is me, Epps, and a few more bots. Optimus and a few more are in a meeting with Galloway, regarding some Decepticons activities was beginning to show up on or radar again. You better be careful out at Germany Jen… There might be one or two Decepticons hiding." He warns.
I nodded, but smiled. "Don't worry… It's been a year and they haven't figures out that I'm Janette Jones. They still think that I was killed at the accident. And why aren't you in the meeting with Epps? I thought you were the captain of N.E.S.T? Uh… I'm guessing you skipped the meeting and let Optimus or somebot to replace you with their holoform?" I asked with an amused smiled.
William smiled sheepishly. I was right.
" So when are—," he was cut off as he was shoved away from the chair by a blurry figurine.
I make an 'ouch' expression and smiled nervously at the holoform. "Enough of your stupid questions Major Lennox! It's our turn now!" Sunstreaker yelled to the man on the floor, I think he's on the floor.
"Hi Sideswipe. Hi Sunstreaker. How are you two doing?" I asked as I waved my hand.
"Just that? Just 'Hi Sideswipe' and 'Hi Sunstreaker'?" Sideswipe pouted and crossed his arms.
"You were expecting something more than a 'Hi'?" I asked again.
Sunstreaker shrugged. "Well… yeah. We were expecting more of a hug. You know… like that?" He smiled.
"You expect me to hug my laptop? Wouldn't that be weird?" I raised an eyebrow.
"We just… We thought… Oh never mind…" Sideswipe let out a chuckle. "When are you returning back here anyway? Major Lennox was too long and forgot to ask you that." He stated.
"I was going to ask her that you glitch!" William yelled.
"Ouch." I said and shook my head. "Next month. It's going to be a month break and I would be able to come back to Tranquility. I might be able to take Samuel to his college at Princeton." I slightly smiled and stared blankly at the screen as there was a scream of joy and the music was turned on.
"Oh… That's good…" Sunstreaker rubbed the back of his neck.
"Because we missed you," Sideswipe and Sunstreaker said in unison.
My blue eyes softened, "I mi—," I was cut off when there was a knock at the door. "Hold on a minute." I said and took my headphone off, leaving it dangling around my neck.
"Slag… We were sooo close…" I heard Sideswipe said.
I rolled my eyes as I walked towards the door. I tilted my head out from my bedroom door. "Who is it?" I yelled to no one in particular inside the room.
"It's me! Chris! Are you ready to leave? We're leaving in a minute or two!" Chris shouted, reminding me that I have to attend Alex's birthday party.
"Be out there in a minute!" I yelled back and went inside my room. I grabbed my cream colored coat and knee high boots. I placed on the knitted wool hat and the knitted in different shades of brown scarf. I sat back down and smiled at the laptop's screen. "I'm sorry guys… I have to go… I'll talk to you tomorrow?"
"Yeah… Whatever." Sunstreaker said disappointedly.
"See you tomorrow Jen." William said as he stole the screen from Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
"Before I forget… Sideswipe, Sunstreaker," I snickered a bit as I called out their names. They both pushed William's head down to the keyboard as their faces were seen on my screen. "You two look pretty in pink." I said.
The background was filled with laughter as I turned it all off. Chuckling to myself, I grabbed my backpack and exited the small apartment. Chris was waiting outside while leaning against the wall, feeling a bit bored. I locked the door and put the keys inside my pocket as Chris and I jogged down the stairs, exiting the building and heading towards a red Honda Jazz. I glanced over to the back row and saw Alex sitting on a baby's seat and Rose was sitting on the passenger seat next to the driver's seat.
I hopped inside and gave Alex his birthday present, a Barney doll. He squealed happily and hugged the purple dinosaur close to him. I see that Barney is quite popular to kids these days, even though I kind of dislike it because the three dinosaurs were always smiling and I found it creepy. I shook the feeling off as the radio blared out soft classic music, soothing for babies.
Alex yawned and began to fall asleep. I smiled and placed a blanket over his tiny legs.
"Jenny…" Alex mumbled in his sleep.
Chris and Rose gasp as I only stared at the now one year old baby.
"Chris! Alex hat sein erstes Wort gesagt! (Alex said his first word!)" Rose smiled brightly as she glanced back at Alex and back to her husband.
"I know! Hast du Alex auch gehört, Jen? (Did you hear Alex too, Jen?)" Chris said happily and gave a quick glance to me.
I only nodded my head.
Oh! How rude of myself… I haven't reintroduced myself to you all…
