I do not own Transformers. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.
Story Start
"I'm tired," Annabelle said and pouted up at Tiffani.
"Well how about we sit in the back of your friend, Ironhide, and take a breather?" Tiffani asked and Annabelle cheered at the idea. Tiffani and Annabelle walked to the back of the truck and Tiffani motioned for Annabelle to step back a few steps so she could lower the tailgate. Tiffani pulled on the tailgate handle and frowned when it wouldn't budge. She looked on either side of the handle and the tailgate, but there was nothing jamming it or keeping it from moving. "That's weird," she muttered and tried the handle again. "Come on," she grumbled and had to pull way too hard on the tailgate handle.
"Hide, be nice to my new friend," Annabelle yelled out and stomped her foot.
Tiffani screamed when the tailgate flew open and she fell to the ground. "What?" she gasped as she looked up at the truck before looking at a frowning Annabelle.
"I said be nice," the little girl grumbled and kicked one of the tires before asking Tiffani, "Are you ok?"
"Yes, um yeah, totally fine," Tiffani said as she jumped up and dusted off her backside. "Ready to get on the tailgate?" she asked Annabelle, who happily held her arms up towards Tiffani. Tiffani lifted up the little girl and set her on the tailgate, before she hopped up and sat beside her. "That was weird, like really weird," Tiffani thought and looked at Lexi, who was also looking at her in confusion. Sarah was trying to just laugh it off, but both girls were already curious and suspicious. They had a mystery to solve. "Oh and we will solve it," Tiffani thought with a smirk before paying attention to the little girl, who was telling her about her favorite stuffed animal.
The rest of the afternoon passed by without any issues. Will had come in from doing yard work and little Annabelle immediately told him that Hide was mean to Tiffani. Tiffani and Lexi listened to him try to shush the little girl and just laugh it off. Sarah also awkwardly tried to laugh it off again, which just made Tiffani and Lexi more suspicious.
"They are totally hiding something, but what could they be hiding about a truck?" Lexi whispered to Tiffani, who nodded while never losing her smile towards the Lennox family.
"Thanks for inviting us over, but we should get back to the house," Tiffani said as she and Lexi stood from their spots on the couch.
"I'm sorry about Hide. Will you come play again with me and mom?" Annabelle asked Tiffani with a tear-filled look.
"Of course she will. No fall on her behind will scare her away," Lexi said and laughed when Tiffani smacked her arm.
"Have a good night," Sarah and Will shouted as the two friends walked back to their home.
The two girls waited until they were back into their home before rushing to their own backyard to sneak a peak at the truck. The truck was no longer in the backyard. They rushed back to the living room and looked to see it back in the driveway in the front of the house.
"What in the world?" Lexi grumbled.
"I'm telling you something is up with that truck," Tiffani grumbled before sighing since she could tell the Lennox family were still home. She was not going to creep on the neighbor's property when the neighbors were still there. "I need a drink," she shouted and disappeared into the kitchen.
"It's too early for drinking," Lexi called back as she followed her friend to the kitchen, who was already drinking from a wine glass. "Never mind, give me a glass," she said and held her hand out as she sat at the table with Tiffani.
The two girls sat there drinking for the next few hours and just guessing what could be up with the truck. "There's no way it is remote controlled," Lexi grumbled as she smacked Tiffani's shoulder.
"Well then what is your idea?" Tiffani snapped and glared at the empty wine bottle.
"Aliens," Lexi said and silence filled the room before both friends cracked up laughing.
"That's a good one," Tiffani said through her laughter as she fell out of her kitchen chair. "Ow," she said and then kept laughing.
"I'm going to sleep this off," Lexi said since she knew they were out of wine and it was dark outside.
"Night night," Tiffani said from her spot on the kitchen floor. She stayed on the floor and listened to Lexi go upstairs to sleep. "I'm going to figure out how that truck works. It has to be remote controlled. I mean the government can do all kinds of things," she grumbled and rolled over so she could start crawling to the front door. "Mission time," she whispered and broke out giggling thanks to the wine. She looked over to the Lennox house and saw that the lights were out in the house. The truck was also still sitting in the driveway. "Target acquired," she said in a robot voice and giggled again.
She made her way from her driveway to the Lennox driveway. She stumbled a few times and eventually she was standing right behind the truck. "Time to figure you out," she whispered and put her hand on the tailgate. She slowly lowered herself and crawled under the truck. She thought she heard a noise, but she brushed it off as she flipped over to her back so she could look underneath the truck.
"I don't see anything out of place or what might be there for a remote control type thing," she muttered while poking a few pieces of the truck. She jumped when she felt a small zap of electricity hit her finger. "Ow, static," she grumbled and slowly crawled out from under the truck. She stood in front of the truck and put her hands on her hips. She laughed as she swayed for a moment on her feet. "My friend thinks you're an alien," she said and gave a small pat to the hood of the truck.
She jumped when she felt how hot the hood was. "You shouldn't be that hot," she said and put her hand on the hood again. "Are you an alien?" She grumbled and yelped when the truck zapped her again. "I'm not even wearing anything that would make static electricity. What is up with you?" She snapped. "Hide, yeah, Hide, that's what Annabelle called you. Is that short for cowhide? Ha ha cowhide, I'm going to call you Mr. Moo," she chuckled and yelped when the truck revved its engine at her.
