A/N: Ack . I'm so sorry for the late update! :sob: I lost the disk that had the third chapter on it, and it took me forever to write this. I have no idea why x_X

This was meant to be put up after the third chapter, which is still missing. So some of it might not make sense ... but it should. Mostly =^-^=

Zeheria: Woohoo! O_O! Sideburn's autograph?! Ugh x_X No fair! 'Course if I was gonna go after anyones it would be Ultra Magnus' =D but you're so lucky! RiD is my favourite series =^-^=! I can't believe you missed the ending! How far along did you see?? ^^; I'm so glad you like Sai! She's probably my favourite fic character, which is why I posted this one. She doesn't lie that much ... really! 0:) Hehe, so maybe she does but it's all for a good cause! oO Okay, enough babble, it's longer than the reviews ^^; Sorry!



The same anonymous figure we all met before walked into a different room, sat down at a different computer, and inserted a different mini - er, cybertronian computer disk into the driver.

The girl - Sai - appeared on the screen immediately, the camera doing an extreme close-up of her face. (Blair Witch style)

"And now," she declared in a conspiratorial whisper, slyly narrowed eyes darting left to right "We find out exactly how the Autobot brothers met … Moi!"

The camera zoomed out to reveal her wearing a simple black t-shirt and black cargoes. Her hair was a couple of inches shorter than in the other video, and the area around the eyebrow bar was slightly red; a new piercing. An empty chain hung around her neck.

[Something struck the one watching as odd. But they weren't particularly observant, and it wasn't particularly obvious, so they just shrugged the feeling off and carried on playing the recording.]

The camera shifted angles as she tossed it to the other hand, bouncing up and down as Sai crept along the wall, jumping out abruptly as if she could surprise her victim.

"A-ha!" she declared triumphantly "Now you'll talk!" The camera turned up from the ground and focused on Sideburn, who looked remarkably like a deer caught in a set of headlights. Slowly, he slid the car magazine behind his back.

Silence.

"Uh ... "

"First question!" The camera interrupted, catching a Sailor Moon - like pose caught in the Autobots paintjob, and a snicker creeping into her voice "How did you meet the -dashing- young lady commonly known as ... Sai!" Then, in a quieter, sullen voice "Okay, so it's the only question."

The camera zoomed in on a bolt in his leg. A loud curse, then a lower muttered one involving a threat to send it to the scrap-yard in seven different ways - and hundreds of pieces - unless it worked, and it suddenly zoomed back out to focus on Sideburn's face.

He looked amused. Coughing importantly, he began.

"Well … I was just driving along one day - minding my own business! - when suddenly I saw this stunning beauty. She utterly took my breath away! A figure to die for, purring voice, the works! Not to mention the cherry red paint job, chrome wheels, motor that could go from 0 to 60 in four seconds -flat- ..." He broke off suddenly at the muttered 'Oh Primus, why me?' came from the camera.

Despite the obvious fondness of him, Sai had about as much appreciation for his obsession as anyone else. Our anonymous figure made some sort of laughing noise.

"As I was saying," Sideburn continued, faking a hurt expression "I was just about to give chase - I mean, follow the fair lady and capture her heart with my unbound charm, when this utterly scraggly, dirty looking human - "

"Hey!"

"- slammed straight into me, nearly tears my door off the hinges opening it (and buckling it slamming it closed) and starts diving around looking for a set of keys. I made the most obvious tactical decision and ... did nothing."

"Yeah right," a voice snorted on its way past "More like the human had you caught like a deer in the headlights. Should've paid more attention in the 'what-to-do-when-you're-high-jacked" class, huh?"

"Don't get so cocky, Magnus!" the camera yelled ominously "You're next!" It swung back to its original victim, annoyed at the interruptions "Continue."

Wisely, with no smart comments, he did. "So anyway she gives up on the keys and starts jamming the wires together like it works the same as the movies say - always looking out the window desperately - and I help out of the goodness of my heart - "

"And the fact the Predacons were making their way over …"

"-by turning on the engine. Without missing a beat she throws the stick into reverse, does a skid in a half circle, and tears off leaving the Predacons in her dust."

"You're being a drama queen, little brother … "

"Yeah! Ruining the story a bit, arentcha?"

"Ruining it ... or making it better?" (Invader Zim style ^______^)

"Ruining it," the camera, and one of the disembodied voices replied at the same time. Then when both the voices - X-Brawn and Prowl - literally popped up behind their brother, the human broke into helpless giggles.

"Cutting a long story short - "

"And a short story shorter - "

"Little brother here freaked, asked for help and since I knew the oh-so-great-and-terrible-carjacker - "

"And not mentioned it, might I add - "

"We convinced her to hand her hostage back to us."

"Hey! I wasn't her hostage! She was mine!"

The camera fell over as Sai collapsed on the ground, holding her ribs and laughing almost hysterically at their expressions. The three brothers nodded in satisfaction. At least she was laughing again.

[The watcher reached out and abruptly stopped the recording before it was done, an expression of either hate or sadness crossing its features, before grabbing the disk and hurrying out of the room, avoiding contact with anyone who made their way in.]

[What did she do that would make those two so wary of her now .. when they were so trusting of her back then?]



Hehe, that was fun to write. X-Brawn and Prowl popping up behind Sideburn is such a weird image. Anyway, since I'm bored, I've decided to recommend my favourite fics =^-^= Erm … gomen, lo siento or whatever language you want it in if you don't want yours up here, lemme know and I'll take it off.

Dragonball Z: Touch Tones. [Piccolo raises a kid, what more do you want? I love the interlude where the chicks mock Trunks =D Even though he's my favourite]

X-Men Comics: Lucky Me. [This is indescribably great. The second OC fic I ever read, and my favourite fic overall]

X-Men:Evolution: Arcane. [This is my second favourite overall fic. Arcane reminds me so much of Edward from Anita Blake it was impossibly not to fall in love with him ^-^; :plots ways to steal his trench-coat:)



Hmmm .. That's the ones that come to mind off the top of my head.
