CHAPTER 2


"So like, what happened?"

Alexis typed a series of digits into her laptop. "It looks like..." she gasped.

"What? What's up?"

"It looks like some strange energy flux distorted reality or something..."

Carlos stared. "You lost me there."

The brown haired girl waved her hand dismissively. "Nevermind. You wouldn't get it."

"oooookay... but whussat mean for the bots?"

"I don't know..." Rad trailed off, watching as two of the toddler bots go running past, engaged in a game of tag. "...Alexis?"

She sighed. "I'm gonna use that trans-accelerator to see where this came from..."

"But.... that's supposed to let you jump from universe to universe... how do you know it'll work?"

"Well, RedAlert said it worked... so I'm gonna take his word for it..."

"Good luck then!"

Caitlin sat up, a bit dazed, and looked to her laptop. It didn't even looked scratched. She hit the power button, and the computer flickered to life. "The hell?! It actually WORKS after that?!"

It did. And what freaked her the most was that when she checked her recently started story, it was finished. All of it. From start to finish. And she had only typed the first few paragraphs! She began reading over it, eyes furiously scanning the pages, when something scared the life out of her.

Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she jumped back and hit the ground on her butt. "Waah!"

"Yaah!" the new girl yelped in response, leaping back a few feet as well. "Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!"

Caitlin blinked again, recognizing the voice. Looking up, she could have SWORN that she was staring up at Alexis, THE Alexis from Transformers Armada. "It... it's cool..." she stuttered, still looking a bit shocked.

"Are you okay...?"

"Fine, fine... so... uhh... what brings you to my place?"

The younger girl was about to answer when she caught sight of the word processing document on her laptop. Starting to read it over, her eyes grew gradually wider. She looked from the computer to the girl, and back again. "You did this?!"

"Did what? What'd I do?!"

"The Transformers ARE babies! I came here to see what caused it!"

"Ohh... well that thing WAS struck by lightning about half an hour ago..."

"That explains it! The electrical surge must have made this story real!"

"Real? What is that supposed to mean?" Caitlin asked, not willing to believe.

"I'm actually from another universe where the Transformers live! My friends-"

"-Rad and Carlos are watching them, right?"

Alexis' eyes went wide again. "Y-yeah! How'd you know?!"

"I'll explain it to you later..." She said. "Because I KNOW you want to take me back to your universe, right?"

"How'd you know THAT too?!"

"...I read the story a little bit before you showed up... I saw my name mentioned so I'm GUESSING that's what's going to happen..."

"Oh... well it would be nice to have some help..."

Caitlin thought for a minute. 'Hehe.. man... this'll be so cool!'

"Okay, I'm in."

"Great! Oh, but first... I'm Alexis. What's your name?"

"Just call me Caitlin. Or Cait or Caity."

The girl grinned. "Okay Caitlin, lets go! We have Autobots to babysit!"
***

Caitlin walked into the base, dumbstruck. She was in THE Autobase! Alexis giggled at her awestruck expression. "Big, huh?"

"Bigger than what I thought... So where are the-OOF!" Caitlin was cut short when something about as heavy as a rhino crashed into her and sent her skidding. She gasped plaintively as the six foot tall baby form of Jetfire crushed her upper torso, hardly able to get any sort of air whatsoever.

"Jetfire!" she heard a voice call out. "Don't! You're hurting her!"

The baby gasped in shock and jumped off of the stocky, five foot two, sixteen year old girl that was lying on the ground, stunned. Once her sense had been gathered enough, she noticed that Rad had been the one that called him back. "Thanks," she said weakly as she shifted her focus onto the baby mech that was sitting beside her, a concerned look in his big golden optics. "Hurt?" he asked a bit forlornly.

"I'm cool dude," she answered in her California (aka surfer) accent. "Just don't do it again, okay?"

The toddler nodded vigirously at that.

"Good." Then, she looked up to Rad, who had now been joined by Carlos.

"Soo... who is this?" Rad asked, looking her over.

"I... am the one that is probably responsible for this. The name's Caitlin." She then stood up, and dusted herself off.

"You did this? But how?"

"Long story short: I'm from another universe. I was writing a story about this exact same thing happening, and then my computer got struck by lightning. I think the surge of energy imprinted it into this reality, where it became a real situation. ...though it's just a guess..."

Carlos had a blank look on his face. "Sounds convincin' to me. Soo... are you gonna help us with these guys?"

"Course I will! I love the Transformers to death!"

Carlos couldn't help but laugh at her. "Cool! But... you know what really happened to them?"

"Well... in the story I wrote, one of RedAlert's experiments went bad... was Red working on anything before this happened?"

"Come to think of it... yeah! About half an hour ago he was tinkering away at some kinda funky beam thing that I couldn't even pronounce the name of... That's what did it?"

"Most likely..."

"Oh... well are they... gonna be stuck like this?"

"'Course not... The longest they'll be babies is a week."

"A week of taking care of giant babies?!" Carlos exclaimed in shock. "This is gonna be a joy..."

"If it would put you at ease, I could like, be in charge for a while..."

The three younger kids looked at her. "You'd do that?" Rad asked a bit disbelieving.

"Never been a leader of anything, but I think watching big babies wouldn't be so hard, so yeah, I'll do it."

The seventh graders exchanged glances, then again shifted their gaze onto her. "Well then Caitlin, lets get started!"
