Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
AN: I though Koji's eyes in the series were a dark blue and i just lightened their color a little, wellin this fic they have to be blue. and in this Optimus and Hot Shot are the samepeople or bot or whatever inRIDand Armada so they have memories from RID. Also to learn a language the transformers download it because it never made sense to me that they were made in another galaxy but somehow speak english
Chapter 1
"Slow down Rad or you'll choke" Rad's father warned, shaking his head in amazement at the amount of food his son could fit in his mouth at one time.
"Sorry Dad, but I promised to meet Alexis soon and she got really mad the last timetime I was late", Rad replied eating slightly more slowly. He and Alexis were going to the Autobot Base alone today because Carlos had got caught trying to hack into the school computers to grades again. From what Rad had heard Sideswipe had helped. Unfortunately for Carlos the 'but the gaint robot did it' excuse didn't get him out of being grounded to his room for a week and a month of detention.
Rad's father smiled at the mention of Alexis. He knew Rad had a crush on the girl and the same was true for the girl, but being typical teens they refused to tell each other. So they continued their strained 'friendship'. Glancing at his wife he saw that she had gone into her 'I'm a mommy and nobody is good enough for my baby boy' mode. He sighed. After how hard she'd fought HIS mother to continue their relationship she was still going to do the same thing to another girl. After knowing her sixteen years and being with her thirteen he still didn't understand her.
"Crap I'm already late" Rad exclaimed, bringing his father out of his thoughts. Rad grabbed his bag and ran for the door.
His mother watched him go. After he was out of sight down the road she turned to her husband with a straight face and said " definatly your son".
He just smiled.
"Come on Alexis I said I was sorry" the blonde pleaded with his red-haired friend.
"Thirty minutes! I was waiting in 90 degree temperatures for thirty minutes!", Alexis' sweat soaked clothing proved this statement.
"I'm sorry. I slept in and my parents and I always have breakfast togther" Rad tried to explain but the mention of his parents only made her madder. She knew Rad's mom didn't like her. It wouldn't surprise her if his mother had given him extra food just to make him late. With one final glare she stomped off.
Hearing suppressed laughter Rad turned around to see Hot Shot and his "brother" Sideswipe barely controlling their laughter at his-if he heard them correctly- lovers spat. Rad just rolled his eyes and walked off in the direction of the Warp Room with Highwire following close behind.
As he walked away he muttered something in Japanese.
Hot Shot stared after his human friend. He hadn't heard someone speak that language since the last time he'd been on Earth. He had thought that the kids only spoke English, except for Carlos who spoke a mixture of English and Spanish. Thinking of what Rad had said he quickly translated it. His eyes widened. Had Rad said Sideburn. No he couldn't have. Optimus wouldn't have said anything about anybody connected with their first trip to Earth. Optimus had hated leaving his human friend Koji at the end. Nobody had wanted to leave. Hell T-Ai had missed the kid so much Primus had given her a human body and sent her back to Earth.They still wondered how that had worked out, if the two had finally admitted their feelings for eachother, or if they were still trying to act like they were just friends.
Come to think of it Rad reminded him of Koji. They acted alike, had the same mannerisms, and even looked alike. Optimus had proably just looked at Rad one dayand saw Koji's eyes staring back at him. That would be enough to get Optimus feeling nostalgic.
Or he had just mistranslated what Rad had said. With that Hot Shot shrugged and went back to joking with his "brother."
"Hey Red Alert".
"Hello Rad" the medic replied not looking up from his work.
"What happened in here?", the boy asked taking in the state of the room. It was littered with tools and computer parts.
"There was a problem with the Warp Gate's hardware, but I think I've fixed it"
"Cool" was the only response he made as he sat down near the console. Alexis had set a break neck pace all the way to the base forcing Rad to pedal faster and harder than he was use to. So understandably he was tired.
While the boy was resting his legs, Red Alert started running test on the console. Suddenly the console began to spark. Seeing this Rad and Highwire jumped up just in time to feel the familar feeling of being wraped.
"Red Alert help!".
The medic turned just in time to see the boy and minicon pulled away through the warp gate.
AN: I'm going away this weekend and won't be back til sunday evening so don't expect an update this weekend. R&R
