I do not own Transformers. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.
Story Start
The next few weeks passed with the girls getting to know the Lennox family and Ironhide more. Ironhide was slowly getting used to Tiffani, but slowly means very slowly. Of course, Tiffani was enjoying teasing the mech as much as she could. Lexi had been surprised that she had been getting text messages from Optimus Prime. Ironhide explained that they could access their cell phones with no problem. This statement led to Tiffani bugging Ironhide about why he doesn't text her.
Today was another day of Lexi going into town to get some groceries and a few things for the house. Tiffani was stuck working on a big freelance project at home, and she had barricaded herself in her room. She wouldn't even come out for food, so Lexi knew that this was a major project. Driving to the grocery store was fine, but when Lexi drove to the nearby hardware store was when things changed. She felt a sense of unease settle on her shoulders. She glanced in her sideview and rearview mirrors, but no cars were behind her and people were walking through town like normal.
She rushed through her shopping at the hardware store, and dread was in her stomach now when she started driving again. She glanced in all her mirrors and thought she caught a glimpse of a cop car disappearing down a side street. The side street would lead to another street that was in line with the street she was on now. She shivered when she noticed that the cop car was driving directly across from her on the other street. She could see it when she passed every side street.
"No, I'm just being paranoid," she whispered to herself before turning up the radio to drown out her own thoughts. She took a few extra roads just in case before heading home. Thankfully she lost sight of the cop car before she got too close to home.
She immediately told Tiffani about what happened and how she felt about the situation. Tiffani was a pain to pull away from her project, but she did listen to her friend's worry. The girls decided the next time either of them had to go into town then they would not go alone. They thought about telling Will and Ironhide, but the guys were not at home today.
"We'll tell them if the cop car seems to be following us again," Lexi decided after the girls had discussed everything that happened.
Nothing happened out of the ordinary the rest of that week. The girls spent time with Sarah and Annabelle since it seemed like Will and Ironhide were staying at base more and more. They didn't know why of course because it was top secret. Sarah seemed used to all of this by now, but she did tell Tiffani and Lexi that she was thankful they were her neighbors. She wasn't so by herself anymore.
Sarah and Annabelle had decided to throw another sleepover that night, but Tiffani and Lexi didn't have anything in the house to bring. So the two girls decided to head to town to get stuff to make cupcakes, cookies, and of course any other junk food that caught their eye.
Lexi gave Tiffani a look when her friend grabbed her gun and put it in the dash. Don't worry she has a gun permit, even though Lexi didn't want her friend to get one. The two girls set off for the grocery store, and Tiffani made sure to keep an eye on their surroundings while Lexi focused on driving. Thankfully nothing happened on the way to the store, so they took their time picking up what they needed before returning to the car. Lexi and Tiffani both put the bags in the trunk. Tiffani said she would put the buggy up while Lexi got the car started.
Lexi sighed in relief that everything had been normal. She got in the driver seat and started the car. The air conditioning felt great while she waited for Tiffani to get back from putting up the buggy.
Tiffani walked towards the cart drop off area in the parking lot. She took a moment to glance around and her heart froze when she spotted what looked like a cop car parked beside a large van. The front of the cop car was barely sticking out so she could see a bit of it. Her curiosity was too much so she walked closer to it so she could get a better look at it. From a far away look, the cop car resembled any city cop car in the area. However, when she got closer she saw a symbol similar to the Autobots symbol but it was more spiky. She also saw that to enslave was written on the side of the car instead of protect.
"Well shit," Tiffani hissed and decided enough was enough. "Get a life, Decepticon creep," she shouted and kicked in the plastic front bumper of the car. She took off running to Lexi's car while screaming that it was a Decepticon. She yelped when she heard the cop car behind her straight up roar before driving towards her.
"Tiffani, what did you do?" Lexi screamed when Tiffani flew into the car and slammed the door behind her. She floored the gas pedal and the girls tore out of the grocery store parking lot.
"Why do you always think I did something?" Tiffani yelled while pulling her gun out of the dash.
"Because you always do something," Lexi screamed back and cursed when the Decepticon was gaining on them. "How am I going to lose him?" she snapped at her friend.
"I don't know but do it fast," Tiffani shouted back before dialing Ironhide's phone number, or at least the phone number he created so he could be in contact with her easier. It was a feat to even get the information from him.
