Me: So, hope you guy's had a Happy Christmas and New Year. I sure did. I didn't get a lot, but I went to Dinsey and that cost money so that was a present all in one. But I have a Laptop now and boy did I laugh and cry causing my parents to laugh and cry at the same time.
Please note that I haven't watched Transformers The Last Knight and Transformers Bumblebee. I'm scared to watch Transformers The Last Knight, but I told myself in order to watch Transformers Bumblebee, I got to watch The Last Knight first. So, forgive me if things are wrong, but yeah, it's my story and my background so I can do what I want.
Enjoy the chapter!
Vision or Dream - *Talking*
Cybertronian speaking - "Talking"
Comm Link Bot/Con/Human - "talking"
Earth
Location: Missouri
When she comes to, Abelia could hear the sounds of vehicles on the highway. She felt the bed she was laying against to rest on, she could feel the rumbling of Optimus's voice as he spoke to his Autobots.
"Autobots, how are you fairing?" (Optimus)
"Earth is so interesting! Watchin' how tha humans interact is so different than how we do, or how alike we r'." (Jazz)
Abelia smiled, opening her eyes to look at the radio, which was broadcasting the Autobots conversation to her. Ironhide's voice came through, sounding angry.
"What's not alike is how they treat their young. We never left them on their own. Sparklings and Youngling's neglect was a high crime and punishable by death! Her parents sound like they don't give a care!" (Ironhide)
Abelia blinked. Sparkling? Youngling? Neglect a high crime on the Autobots home planet? They sound fiercely protective over their young.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Bumblebee blasted a clip through the speakers.
"We may just met her, but Abelia is a very bright young girl and she sounds like she can hold her own." (Ratchet)
"Yeah, Bumblebee said dat Abelia buzzed sawed Frenzy apart n' kicked his head. Sounds like she can take care o' a couple o' glitches on her own." (Jazz)
Abelia lifted herself till she was sitting on the edge of the bed. She slowly rolled her neck to get blood following as she listened as they spoke about her, liking the fact that they thought she could hold her own.
"Ratchet, what have you found so far?" (Optimus)
"Not much, but the Energon has been inside her all her life. I used her blood, which aged along with her, to see how long the Energon was inside her. I'm trying to see why that is at the moment. Her parents could have made sure she ate, though." (Ratchet)
Abelia bit her lip. Okay, she didn't eat a lot, but she wasn't always hungry and there were those rare times when there wasn't any food in the fridge.
"The parents are getting me very irritated. Can I take them out?" (Ironhide)
Optimus's response was quick. "Ironhide, you know we don't harm humans. What is with you?!"
"Well, I'm just saying, we could. It's an option." (Ironhide)
"Even though they did something we view as wrong, we can't harm humans for it will bring distrust to us. Plus, Abelia knows more about what to do then we do. We don't know what her planet views as right and views as wrong." (Optimus)
Abelia decided she stay silent enough and spoke up, "Honorable words Optimus."
"Abelia, your awake. My apologies if we woke you." (Optimus)
Abelia waved her hand, getting up and walking to the driver's seat. The window was rolled up and Abelia briefly wondered if anyone saw a truck driving on its own before she sat in the driver's seat.
"I was already up," Abelia stated and looked out the window, seeing that everyone's position didn't change around from last night. Recognizing nothing and the fact things were going by fast, Abelia voiced her question, "Where are we?"
"Right naw, we're in a state called Missouri." (Jazz)
Abelia jumped, her eyes going wide as she stared down at the radio, wondering if her ears were damaged and she was only finding out about it now. But after a couple of seconds, she realized that it wasn't her ears and what Jazz said was true.
"I'm sorry, but did you just said Missouri. As in, we-are-three-or-four-states-away-from-Tranquility Missouri?"
"Yep." (Jazz)
"How fast can you go?!"
"Depending on the bot, but we can go up to more than a thousand miles per hour. With the humans and everything we had to tone down our speed a bit." (Ironhide)
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Abelia breathed out shakily, covering her eyes and sinking into the seat, shaking her head. Apparently, the Autobots didn't look up speeding laws and speed limits when they got to Earth.
"Note to self: Autobots drive fast, they can end up states away in one night. Guy's, no disrespect, but look up speeding laws, kay?"
Abelia could tell the moment they did what she asked because they slowed down. Abelia breathed out a sigh of relief, but still reached out to grab a seat belt and buckled herself in. Another note: Always wear a seat belt in an Autobot.
"Our apologies. We didn't think about that." (Ratchet)
"So sorry...gotta go fast!" (Bumblebee)
Abelia dropped her hand looked at the radio with a smile. How can you stay mad at the Autobots? They were new to Earth. They didn't know how humans did things. They didn't know about the speeding law. They were alien.
"It's fine. You didn't know."
"Perhaps research is what we all need to do. Autobots, I'll speak to you later." (Optimus)
The Autobots said a parting before Optimus turned off Comm-Link between them. Abelia chuckled, shaking her head and sat up straight.
"You guy's just driving or are we going somewhere," Abelia asked.
"We are going towards a Decepticon signal. Nevada, the state is called. When we get there, we'll see why there is a Decepticon around. After that, I'll use the glasses to find the location, finding the Decepticon before it can hurt people is important." (Optimus)
Abelia hummed, a smile playing on her lips. Optimus really was compassionate. He wanted to make sure the Decepticon wasn't going to hurt people and find out what they are doing before going after the very thing that could save their race. Remembering the talk last night, did she really just meet them last night, Abelia remembered what Optimus mentioned.
"Optimus, what's the System of Ranks," Abelia asked.
Optimus didn't answer her right away. Abelia waited patiently, remembering when she saw how he, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Jazz reacted to it. She would wait because it wasn't her history or cause of war.
Optimus looked at Abelia. She had asked last night and then said to tell her later when she saw how they reacted. She kindly waited. Optimus decided it was only right that their only human alley at the moment should know.
"The System of Ranks categorized mechs and femmes based on their size and their jobs. They served under those who were Higher in the system than them. In the old times, those in the Higher Rank took care of those under them. But over time, some started to forget and treated those lower than them poorly, even those who weren't under them. Soon, very few in the High Rank remembered that they had to treat those lower in rank right. The ranks went from low to high."
"What were the ranks," Abelia asked.
"Gamma was the lowest rank, they were the ones who were poor and lived in horrible conditions and were weak because of little Energon. Some joined the Decepticons, but since most of them knew suffering, they joined the Autobots. Working-class mechs and femmes, our terms for male and female. Clerks, storage bots, factory workers, builders, and more were among this rank. This rank spilt in joining the Decepticons and joining the Decepticons. "
Abelia nodded. Gamma. The lowest rank and treated poorly. Through, something in Optimus's tone in the last bit made her wonder what the rank Gamma meant to him.
"Delta is the next rank, but still low. They lived better than the Gammas and had better jobs. This rank is for the average femme and mech. Symbiots are also in this rank. Frenzy and Scorponok are Symbiots. They spend much of their existence living within the exostructure of their chosen host, and that is Barricade and Blackout. Kill the host, you'll kill the Symbiot, kill the Symbiot and you'll just anger the host. Symbiot varies on which side they are on. They follow their chosen host."
Abelia tilted her head and frowned at the mention of those two Symbiots, scowling. Frenzy for attacking her and Scorponok for killing and injuring Will's teammates and nearly killing him.
"Next is the Betas. Seekers are a flying class. They were among the first Cybertronians who flew. Very few joined us Autobots, the Decepticons got most of them. Starscream, Megatron's second in command, is a Seeker. Medics and Enforcers, our version of police, and Gestalts are also part of this group. Gestalts are a group of Cybertronians sparked together, siblings, and can become one giant Cybertronian. Medica and Enforcers joined the side they wanted and the Gestalts did as well. We both have a couple of Gestalts."
Seekers, kinda made sense given what they are. Medics and Enforcers. Gestalts, siblings, and can become one large bot. If Optimus was the tallest Cybertronian she met at the moment, then imagining bigger kind left Abelia in awe and a little fear.
"Elites are High Rank. They were nobles and royals, rich and had the lower ranks working for them. Any mech or femme who trained to fight in the Elite Academy also considered in this rank. Gladiators are part of this rank, their skill in combat making them a rich source of entertainment. Megatron was a Gladiator, the best of them all. Most Gladiators followed Megatron, but some drifted to our side. Protectors and Seers are also part of this rank. Protectors protect the Seer from harm and danger. A Seer was a powerful and girted Cybertronian who could see into the past, present, or future, very few saw all three."
Abelia hummed. High Rank. That's what Bumblebee called her and that was because she was rich, if she wasn't, she would probably be a Delta or a Gamma. But then again, her abilities made her High Rank. But she cared for others, she knew that, so she wasn't like those cold-hearted High Ranks Optimus was telling her about.
"Alphas are the next High Rank. This was the High Council and anyone in league with them. Alpha Trion, one of the oldest Cybertronians in our race was an Alpha. He was one of the kindest mech you could meet unless you got him angry and that was a time in a few. He stayed in the Iacon Hall of Records, where he recorded our history."
Abelia nodded that Optimus sounded angry when he spoke about the High Council, but when he mentioned Aphla Trion, he calmed down. Curious.
"The Last Rank is Prime and Vessel of the Allspark. And that is me. Primes were picked by Primus, in ancient times, but something happened and he stopped, only picking Thirteen Primes. Primes after that were picked by the High Council, but they weren't true Primes because Primus didn't choose them, but they still followed teachings of the Primes."
"Did they choose you," Abelia asked Optimus, speaking up at this, "Did the High Council pick you to become Prime?"
"No. Primus choose me."
Abelia's eyebrow went up. A God staying silent for who knows how long and picking a Prime when he showed himself? Abelia wanted to ask about that, but another thing he said caught her attention.
"Primus? Vessel of the Allspark? Who are they," Abelia asked.
"Primus is the Cybertronian God of Creation. He has a younger twin brother named Unicron, who is the Cybertronian God of Destruction. They both are planet-sized Cybertronians. Primus is Cybertron in his planet form. No one knows what planet form Unicron has. He vanished. They do have younger sister siblings. Prima is the oldest of the femmes, she was the first Vessal of the Allspark and was the Goddess of Life for us Cybertonians. The Younger sister was named Quintessa, who was the Goddess of Death. Not much is known about her though."
"Why?"
"History of Quintessa was destroyed during the war and records were destroyed a long time ago for some reason. Records that weren't destroyed say that Prima died somehow after she banished Quintessa for a reason that was lost. Sometime after that, Unicron and Primus went in different ways. With history lost, we don't know what truly happened. Anyone that did is dead or hiding."
Abelia pitied Optimus and his Autobots. History destroyed during the war wasn't something that can be replaced easily. And planet-sized Cybertronians, now that was something Abelia knew was giant, even bigger than that. Still, Abelia cleared her throat, knowing Optimus still had another thing to tell her about.
Knowing what Abelia was wordlessly asking, Optimus continued.
"The Vessel of the Allspark holds the power of Life. Prima was the first Vessel, and when she died, there became a line of chosen only the Cube would pick. The Cube is only a form the Allspark takes when it doesn't have a Vessel, but its power is more vulnerable. A Vessel protects the Allspark while the Allspark protects the Vessel. When the war broke out, the Vessel of the Allspark was killed, forcing the Allspark to take the form of the Cube again. When there was no choice left, I launched the Allspark into space to protect it, but dooming our race at the same time."
Abelia reached out and patted Optimus on the dashboard. She smiled at him, knowing that the choice he made was something hard, but needed to be done. Leaders always make tough choices.
"Leaders make tough choices, Optimus. You did what you thought was best to protect the Allspark. To me, you did the right thing."
Optimus was silent, shocked by this. Here was someone who barely knew him, just learning some small things about his race, who thought that he did the right thing. Who thought he made the right choice.
"You don't need to say that."
But Abelia wasn't deterred, "Nope! I mean it! Only a true leader would do something like that! I may not know you that much, but I'm starting to, and I'm saying you did what you thought was best! Nothing is changing that!"
How could a being so small produce such strong words? Optimus didn't know how, but for the first time in a while, he let himself believe that he made the right choice, a warm feeling flowing through his spark.
Optimus wasn't the only one who had a warm feeling, Abelia also had a warm feeling going through her heart, something she didn't understand. What was she feeling for Optimus and better yet, the Autobots? This feeling seemed to be centered around them. She felt it before when she was young, but she forgot the name of it.
To get her mind off it, Abelia asked another question.
"What Ranks were you five before the war?"
Optimus jumped, his truck form jerking forward at the question. Now, this was something he was nervous about, but Abelia asked and she was curious. It wouldn't hurt to tell her what they were. Besides, he wanted to trust her and from the questions, she was asking, Abelia wanted him to trust her, whether she knew it or not.
"Ratchet came from a Noble Elite family unit, what we call our families, and became a Medic, in turn becoming a Beta when Medics saved his life. Ironhide and Jazz were an Elite due to Ironhide skills in weaponry and Jazz skills in sabotage. Bumblebee is unknown since he was too young to be classified in the System of Ranks."
Abelia raised an eyebrow, "Optimus, you forgot one. What about you?"
Optimus breathed out a sigh, "I was a Gamma, a Clerk in the Iacon Hall of Records, like your human libraries. I was lucky to be under the wing of Alpha Trion. He treated me with kindness, just like how he did to everyone else in the lower ranks with kindness. He was their voice and no one dared harm the eldest living mech in their history and for what he did for them."
"What did he do," Abelia asked.
"A story for another time. Alpha Trion trained me, taught me, and was like a Sire to me when my own never cared for me, believing me the reason my Carrier offlined."
"Why would he believe that?"
"Like how human females can die during birth, femmes can die from the overcharge when their sparklings spark is being extracted. Mine was one of those that had that fate."
"But I thought neglect was against your kind," Abelia asked.
"As long as he made sure I was taken care of by the law standards, he knew he was fine. But he never treated me with kindness and barely even spoke to me. He made me get a job as a Gamma to make me feel beneath everyone else. No one, not even my fellow Autobots, knows of this. You are the first I told."
Abelia felt the warm feeling again, but she chalked it up to honor at being the only one Optimus told. She also got the message he was silently saying even he didn't say it.
"I won't tell them. My lips are sealed," Abelia said, running her fingers over her mouth.
"Why would you seal your mouth? You won't be able to speak then."
Abelia sighed, shaking her head, "Optimus, if I say something that doesn't make sense, just look it up. It was an expression for not telling anyone and spilling the beans."
"Spill the beans?"
Abelia threw up her hands. That was gonna get annoying, Abelia can tell that right now as she crossed her arms. Optimus held back a chuckle at how frustrated Abelia seemed to be.
"Hey Optimus, tell me about the Law that stops Seers from fighting," Abelia asked.
"Of course. Since the start, the High Council placed the Law down to protect the Seers, their power of sight gifted to only a few. Protectors protect the Seer, but during the war, some betrayed their Seers and killed them or died alongside their Seer or couldn't get to them in time."
"How many Seers are left?"
"Out of the thirty? Three including you if you truly are a Cybertronian Seer."
"Another question: Why follow the Law if it gets Seers killed since they can't protect themselves?"
Optimus went silent, never thinking about that. The only reason that Law was in place was that the High Countril refused to remove it. Even during the war when Seers asked them to, they didn't. Maybe the Law was getting them killed and shouldn't be followed anymore. Besides, Abelia showed she could take care of herself.
A sound, a low and constant for a few seconds filled the Cabin, making Abelia blush and Optimus hum in confusion. Abelia quietly laughed, shaking her head. She looked at the radio.
"That was my stomach. It's telling me that I'm hungry. I need to eat food."
Optimus chuckled at that time as Abelia blushed.
"I'll take you to the nearest place where you can get your 'food'. Then, we will stop someplace secluded for a rest. My Autobots are used to being in their modes for long periods of time, but not blending in like this. Plus, I believe you want to stretch as well."
Abelia nods and lets Optimus drive in silence. It was when they stopped outside a fast-food restaurant so Abelia could order some food on the go when she remembered something: She never asked Optimus how he became Prime.
Abelia ate the last bite of her burger, taking a drink of soda to wash it down, still grinning over Ratchet's fit when he discovered how unhealthy fast food was. She got started on her fries, watching the Autobots as they looked around from where she sat on the roof of a rusted broken down truck.
They found an abandoned building, complete with a power box and some power lines behind it. It was the biggest spot they found, so they stopped to let Abelia stretch and eat for a little fifteen-minute break. Ironhide was checking his weapons, Ratchet was talking with Optimus, and Bumblebee was watching the clouds, finding them interesting.
Abelia just got done with her food and drink, putting in back in the bag and throwing it into a dumper near the truck, when Jazz walked up to her, his small size making it easy for Abelia to look up at him from the truck roof.
"Hey, kid. We heard yo' sing last night," Jazz said.
Abelia blushed, looking down. She didn't mean to sing, she just does it to help her sleep. She doesn't really sing in front of others for some reason. Maybe because she doesn't want them to know she sings well?
"So," Abelia said, wondering where Jazz was going with this.
"Well, I was wondering, if you would sing again. It's just you sing very well, and I happen to like music. Plus, we still need to talk about music," Jazz said.
Abelia's eyes went wide, not expecting this. She turned towards the other Autobots only to see that they were watching her, having on heard the entire thing. She ducked her head, embarrassed. Seeing this, Jazz grew alarmed, thinking that she was upset.
"Yo' don't have ta! I just wanted ta hea yo' again," Jazz stated, holding his hands up.
Abelia giggled. Yeah, you can't be embarrassed for long at the Autobots. Deciding what harm it could be, Abelia opened her mouth.
Oohhh.
Jazz tilted his hand, dropping his hands, the Autobots turning to watch.
I feel like I am a million miles away from myself more and more these days.
I have been down so many open roads but they never lead me home.
And now I just do not know who I really am, how it is going to be?
Is there something that I can't see?
I wanna understand.
Abelia lifted her head and looked up at Jazz. Slowly, Abelia stood up, turning her gaze to the other Autobots. Abelia shakes her head, placing a hand on her chest and tilts her head. Abelia shrugs in a question. She motions for Jazz in a sign she hoped was universal and it was.
Maybe I will never be who I was before!
Maybe I do not even know her anymore!
Or maybe who I am today ain't so far from yesterday!
Can I find a way to be every part of me?!
Jazz used both hands so Abelia could step on them. Abelia moved slowly as she went on her knees, this allowed Abelia to look into Jazz's optics. Abelia reached out a hand and Jazz carefully took hold of her hand with two of his sharp fingers. Seeing Bumblebee, Abelia motioned to him.
So I'll try, try to slow things down and find myself.
Get my feet back on the ground.
It'll take time but I know I will be alright cause nothing much has changed on the inside.
It's hard to figure out how it is gonna because I did not really know now.
I want to understand.
Jazz grinned and slowly walked over to Bumblebee, Abelia standing up and jumping onto Bumblebee's waiting hand. Bumblebee brought Abelia up close to his face. Abelia smiled and reached out, tapping Bumblebee on his metal nose. She turned her attention to Ironhide. Ironhide walked over and let Abelia jump onto his hand.
Maybe I will never be who I was before!
Maybe I do not even know her anymore!
Or maybe who I am today ain't so far from yesterday!
Can I find a way to be every part of me, yeah!
Abelia patted Ironhide's cannon, making Ironhide grin. Ironhide went over to Ratchet, who held out his hand for Abelia. Abelia jumped onto Ratchet's hand, giving him a big wave. Ratchet gave her a small smile, turning to Optimus who held his hand out for Abelia to jump on.
I don't wanna wait too long to find out where I'm meant to belong!
I've always wanted to be where I am today!
But I never thought I'd feel this way!
Abelia jumped onto Optimus's hand and was lifted till she was level with the middle of his chest. Optimus looked down at Abelia as she held her arms out. She brought a hand to her chest while the other was raised to the sky.
Maybe I will never be who I was before!
Maybe I do not even know her anymore!
Or maybe who I am today ain't so far from yesterday!
Can I find a way to be every part of me?
Abelia looked around at the Autobots, who gathered around to watch her, smiles on their faces. She shook her head, kneeling on one knee. She held her hands out wide to them. Abelia sat down fully, leaning back on her hands.
Every part of me.
Abelia smiled at them.
Jazz and Bumblebee clapped, Ratchet and Ironhide hummed their approval, and Optimus smiled. Abelia ducked her head, her cheeks flaring up. She didn't expect this type of reaction to her singing.
"You sing great, youngling," Ironhide said.
Abelia looked at him, "Really?"
"I'll say. You have a wonderful talent," Ratchet commented.
Abelia giggled, sitting up to her knees with her hands on her knees. She grins at them, "Thanks. No one has said that about me before. But it's not like I sing in front of everyone."
"Why?"
Abelia looked at Bumblebee and smiled sadly, "You said it yourself. To you guys, I'm High Rank. To humans through, I'm a rich girl. And one of the many human flaws is greed for things and the willingness to lie to get it, even going to violence. Power, lust, and money are the main three. Being rich, all anyone sees when they look at me is dollar signs, the power that comes with the money, and their lust for me because I'm a woman."
"Humans are like that," Optimus asked, looking down sadly at Abelia. From the sound of things, humans were capable of doing great violence to each other. Abelia tilted her head back so she could look at Optimus.
"We can be capable of great violence. Some humans in our history have killed hundreds of people. But humans are also capable of great things. Like love, compassion, kindness, and friendship. Some humans help others, some even dedicating their lives to do the very thing. Humans are capable of great destruction, but yet, there's always those few humans who think differently and are capable of creating things."
"As our kind can be," Ironhide stated.
Abelia shrugged, "Maybe. Us humans are very complex beings to be it that way."
Before anyone could answer, there was a barking sound from down below. Looking down, they all saw a dog by Ironhide's foot, sniffing it. The Autobots looked at the small creature was fascination.
"What is dat? Looks like a Glitchound," Jazz says.
The dog lifted up his leg, making Abelia gasp because she knew what was going to happen next. Before she could warn Ironhide to move his foot through, the dog peed. Right on Ironhide's foot. Ironhide flinched back and Abelia had a laugh burst from her, but she motioned her Optimus to put her down so she could save the dog from Ironhide.
Who decided to take out his cannons and aim it at the poor dog.
So while Jazz and Bumblebee laughed with Ratchet and Optimus hiding theirs with their hands, Abelia ran over to the dog, who started barking at Ironhide, and held up her hands.
"No! Silly dog! Not on the giant black bot with cannons and temper issues," Abelia said, provoking another round of laughter from Jazz and Bumblebee. Ratchet shook his head and said something about immature bots, but Abelia was to busy to take not what he said.
"Nah, wet," Ironhide said, shaking his wet foot with disdain, glaring at the dog and at Abelia for her comment.
"Easy! Easy! Hold on! Hold," Abelia explained, trying to get Ironhide to put his cannons away, "He's just a dog. Just a dog. Dogs do pee on things. Okay? That's all. Just put the guns away...put the- put them away."
"Little rodent. Shall I terminate," Ironhide stated, leveling his cannon at the poor dog, which was still barking. Abelia shook her head, waving her hands at the weapons specialist, hoping to stop him from shooting the dog.
"No, no! He's not a rodent, he's a dog. Medium size small hair brown dog that belongs to someone, judging by the studded collar."
"He's leaked lubricants all over my foot."
"Okay, yeah, he peed on you. When dogs do something that's bad we say bad dog so they get the drift about that doing it again. So, bad dog!"
"Bad dog," Ironhide growled.
"Some male dogs have a male dominance thing. That's all it is," Abelia said, shooing the dog away with her hands. The dog ran away as Ironhide called back his cannons and took a couple of steps away from where he was peed on.
"My foot's gonna rust," Ironhide complained, staring down at his foot. Abelia sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Quit complaining you big baby. It's not gonna kill you. Unless you got a male dominance issue-Oh wait! You a temper and cannons, of course, you do."
This time, Ratchet joined Jazz and Bumblebee in the laughing. Optimus just pressed his lips together and found the sky very interesting. Ironhide settled for growling at Abelia, who laughed. It was just to fun to mess with Ironhide, way too fun and easy.
"What's with all the barking boy?"
Gasping at the unknown voice, the Autobots went on the alert. Scanning the area, they found that another human, male, was just around the building, talking to the dog Abelia had shooed away.
"Human," Optimus turned to his Autobots and ordered, "Quick, hide!"
The Autobots ran, quiet for beings that were giant and metal. Ratchet, Ironhide, and Optimus, due to their sizes, hide behind the building, hunching down. Bumblebee was able to climb to the roof, their small size making it possible.
Abelia, not wanting to be seen as well, ran over to where Jazz was. Jazz picked her up and put her on his shoulder before scaling the wall to join Bumblebee. Jazz just got to the roof when the person walked around the corner of the building.
The person looked around, trying to find what his dog was barking at. Shaking his head, the man finally walked away, his dog following. The Autobots stayed where they were to make sure the human was gone. Minutes later, they heard an engine turning on and a vehicle driving away. Abelia sighed, standing up from where she was on top of the roof.
"That was close. Better stay quiet until we get out of here so we don't attract any more attention," Abelia stated.
Jazz jumped down to rejoin the three larger bots on the ground while Bumblebee held his hand out to Abelia. Abelia smiled at Bumblebee and hopped on, letting Bumblebee shield her as he jumped down. Just as Bumblebee set her down, Abelia turned to a commotion. Apparently, Ratchet was looking at the screen on his arm, got in Jazz's way because the smaller bot was pushing the medic with surprisingly good strength.
"Move!"
"Get away!"
Ratchet shoved Jazz away, growling. Before they could do anything else, Optimus stepped in between them, holding up his hands, an exasperated look on his face. Abelia guessed the Autobots had too many friendly brawls.
"What's the matter with you two? Can't you be quiet? She wants us to be quiet," Optimus says, looking between the two.
Abelia giggled as Jazz crossed his arms, but she gasped when she saw Ratchet was still walking, looking back at Optimus and not paying attention to where he was going. He was going to walk right into the power box.
"Ratchet! Watch your feet!"
Ratchet turned his head quickly, moving around the power box. But he misstepped and tripped, falling right into the power lines with his chest being what hit the power lines. Ratchet shouted, spinning around and falling right on the power box.
Abelia winced and ran over, careful not to touch Ratchet because she didn't what to find out if they could transfer energy. The other Autobots joined her as Ratchet tired lifting himself up, his optics very bright.
"Wow! That was tingly! Ooh! You got to try that. It's like your on overcharge," Ratchet said, pointing at them, the action causing him to fall to the ground.
"Yeah. That looks fun," Ironhide sarcastically said.
Optimus reached down and helped Ratchet to his feet, steading the swaying mech. Ratchet held onto Optimus as he shook his head, his systems clearing his head. Getting his barrings, Ratchet released Optimus and held his head.
"You okay, old friend," Optimus asked.
Ratchet nodded, "I'm fine. My systems just had an unexpected surge from the-," Ratchet paused as he looked up what he hit, "power lines."
The Autobots nodded, but smiles were now on their faces. Abelia giggled, bringing a hand up to her mouth, "At least you're okay."
Ratchet looked around, seeing the faces of everyone here and promptly sighed like he knew where this was leading down. He looked right at them as he dropped his hand like it was a heavyweight.
"I'm not going to live this down, aren't I," Ratchet says mournfully.
"What makes you think that Ratchet," Abelia giggled, looking at the power lines. Only then did she see that the houses were out of power. Someone would be coming soon to check on how and why the power went off. So that meant they had to get out of there, now.
"We need to go. People will probably be swarming here soon. We should be long gone by then," Abelia said.
The Autobots transformed, Abelia going to Ratchet this time. She planned on riding with every Autobot at least once. Bumblebee had driven her around ever since she 'brought' him from the Dealership, Optimus had her last night and this morning, now it was Rachet's turn. She'll see about Jazz and Ironhide.
Ratchet had opened his passenger's side door, letting Abelia in. She looked around, finding that in the back, there was a Medic station that fit with what Ratchet was. Abelia jumped when the seat belt covered her as Ratchet began moving.
"Oh, thanks," Abelia said.
"Don't mention it. It's by your law that passengers were seat belts in case of an accident. Through you might never be an accident with us, it doesn't hurt to be safe. Not only that, you could get in trouble if you are caught. And I rather not have you hurt your helm or any other body part."
"Helm?"
"Sorry. Our word for head."
"What else?"
"You want me to tell you?"
"Yes. I'm curious, so sue me."
"Sue you? What's that?"
Abelia growled, glaring at the radio at Ratchet's innocent, yet knowing that asking that question was annoying her and he was doing it on purpose. Yeah, this was going to get annoying real quick, real fast.
"You're the robotic organism. Look. It. Up."
Ratchet laughed, but it was cut short when the others Comm-Linked him. Abelia settled for glaring and crossing her arms as the Autobots talked. After a couple of minutes of this, Abelia was asked a question that she didn't expect from the temperamental weapons specialist, one that made her double-check what she heard.
"Abelia, a young human girl, a child, called me a Tooth Fairy. What is a Tooth Fairy?" (Ironhide)
After Abelia was done her laughing fit that went on for about a good three minutes, she finally told Ironhide what a Tooth Fairy was. This proceeded to embarrass Ironhide a whole lot, especially when all the Autobots, even Optimus, joined Abelia in her laughter after they all looked up Tooth Fairy to make sure what Abelia was telling them to be true.
Ironhide could have looked it up himself but nope, now he's got a new nickname, no thanks to Abelia calling him that soon after, all because he asked. Abelia found herself having fun. It was fun that she enjoyed. Especially when...
"Hey, Tooth Fairy, do anything magical lately for the little kids?"
"Mute it, youngling!" (Ironhide)
"My nickname for you. You like it?"
"Abelia! I'll make you regret it!" (Ironhide)
"Don't worry if you don't like it. I'll find another. Still won't make stop calling you it."
"ABELIA!" (Ironhide)
But Abelia didn't yead his warning, only laughing her head off once again at how easy it was to tease Ironhide.
Yeah, totally having fun.
Me: So, how was it? I had to do a bonding chapter, and there will be many more.
Abelia sings "Every Part of Me" by Miley Cyrus.
I'm also creating little Rules that will have there own little story someday. If you got any ideas, put it in a comment. I'll find a way to bring it into the story so it will have a place with the Rules.
Stay tuned till next time!
