Hiiiii! I'm back again and I want to thank you all for your support. Please feel free to PM me and give me suggestions on how you think the story should be. My biggest fear as of now is that although the plot will move with the movies, the story will be like watching the movies just in another point of view... I also want to say that my mom has legal custody of me, but I still have visitation with my dad. Over at my dad's house, I won't be able to post much at all and I'm very sorry:( Like I mentioned, I still have school and I honestly did not expect for people to like this. With that being said, I really appreciate all the support and I promise to not give up on this story just yet. :)I'm sorry If I'm not updating within a reasonable time frame, but I really am trying.

_Chapter 4

I sat somewhat awkwardly in the passenger seat of Optimus Prime. I was trying successfully to keep my squirming to a minimum. We were on our way to find a kid named Samuel Witwicky and also to meet back up with Bumblebee. In our sudden haste, I suddenly remembered a little problem...The note.

"Oh my God. I have to get home." This was a disaster.

"We must find Samuel Witwicky and find the glasses." Optimus said.

"My parents are gonna think I'm dead. Then they'll call the police and they search and then it'll be a whole ordeal. I'm sure you can imagine what will happen if they find me." I was so stupid. What was wrong with me? Suddenly, we skidded to to a stop and Optimus made a fast u-turn and we sped towards my house. I wondered how he knew where my house was but I let it slide. We were there in about twenty minutes. I opened the car door and jumped out. I booked it to the side of my house and climbed up the tree before jumping through my window. I was just in time. My mother had just picked up my note, a worried expression on her face. I ran over to her and snatched the paper out of her hand, ripping it to shreds. She looked up at me and pulled me in, hugging me tightly.

"Honey, where have you been? We were so worried." I frowned, my smile being wiped away at the plural 'we'. She was definitely the only one that cared. My dad hated me so much. He told me all the time. I was never wanted. My half sister was the favorite. In fact, he was only with my mom because of the money she made. I pulled away from her and looked out the window. I felt horrible for what I was about to do.

"Mom...I can't do this anymore. I can't. The beauty pageants and competitions. When I lose I get yelled at or I get hit. I'm fed up with this life! I have to go. It's not your fault. I love you. I always have." With that I jumped out of my window and ran back to Optimus. I handled that situation all wrong. I should've said more. I opened the door and hurled myself in.

"Go Optimus." The engine did not start.

"Your mother. She cares for you. I was wrong to take you from her. You must return." Was he serious?

"Optimus Prime! I am not leaving. Now go!" There was a pause before the engine turned over and we sped out of my driveway. I was losing control. I bit my lip trying not to cry or yell. So hard that I tasted blood. Optimus was silent and I was very thankful for it. I took a few deep breaths before speaking again.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you Optimus. I was upset." There was a long silence. 'He must be angry with me,' I thought.

Then he said," There is no need to apologize. I understand how you are feeling." I smiled in relief.

"Thanks. Do you think that they'll take me back?" I doubted that they would.

"I think they will," Prime said. I hoped so.

"Ya know, I trust you guys. I don't know why, but I do. I feel closer to you than my family. I want you to know that I will do everything in my power to help you. I'm still not sure why you need my help...but I'll help." Optimus Prime's seat hummed gratefully.

"Thank you Rose Menor. If we succeed, we will forever be in your debt. Even know….I am glad we have you." I grinned. I know I didn't die today like I had planned...but just maybe it was worth it. 'Maybe it was almost worth it' I amended. There was a thoughtful silence between Prime and I. It was surprisingly comfortable. Moments later, we had arrived. The Autobots made a circle around the one who supposedly was Samuel and another girl.

"Hold on," Optimus softly commanded. I fumbled around before I finally settled on the steering wheel. I suddenly heard a whirring sound and I gripped the wheel even tighter. The whirring turned into the sound of metal cranking. I began to ride and I squeezed my eyes shut. I opened my eyes in fear once my body had shifted. Relief washed through my body. I was in his hand. He quickly sat me down and I ran behind his leg. He bent down and I gulped inaudibly. Wow...boy was this was awkward. I averted my eyes to the ground and listened intently. Optimus basically just explained what Autobots are, and I learned that he needed Samuel because of his grandfather's glasses. There was a comment that Ratchet made that made me cringe and almost speak up, though I kept in control. Finally, Samuel asked the golden question (in my point of view).

"Who else knows about you?" He asked. I wondered if Optimus Prime would tell him the truth.

"Only one other person. Like BumbleBee is your guardian… I am her guardian." 'I guess he did' I thought.

"Where is she?" Sam asked. I gulped and lightly stepped out from behind Prime's leg. Sam and the girl jumped and backed up a bit. I smiled shyly and waved a little.

"Hi," Samuel breathed. "I'm Sam. What's your name?" He asked. His voice rose a little bit higher and I frowned. He thought I was a maybe he was just surprised, but I still hated when people thought I was a child. I knew I looked young and I understood that I'm very, very short. But come on! I stuck out my right hand and shock his.

"My name is Rose Menor. Its and honor to meet you." Sam gasped and backed up.

"You're the scientist's daughter. The one that works for NASA?" I narrowed my eyes. How did he know? "Yes," I answered slowly. I think Sam recognized my confusion and made haste to explain myself.

"I am so sorry. You and you family were on the news when your mom created that piece to enhance that satellite." 'Damn news' I snarled in my head. It did make sense though. I looked at the girl and she got the hint. She stepped forward and shook my hand.

"My name is Mikaela." I smiled at her.

"It's nice to meet you as well," I said. I backed up so I was close to Optimus. Prime pointed at the yellow Autobot.

"Rose this is BumbleBee. He communicates through radio." The robot was adorable to me. I didn't know why, but he seemed so much softer and playful than the others. He had a certain childlike demeanor that surrounded him. My smile grew bigger.

"Hello...It is nice to meet you," BumbleBee said. I softly giggled.

"It's wonderful to meet you too Bumblebee," I said. Optimus Prime stood up.

"We need to go find those glasses as soon as we can. Let's roll." On cue, all the robots transformed. I walked over to Optimus Prime before I felt a hand grab my arm gently. I turned around and got into a fighting stance before I saw who it was. I instantly relaxed.

"I'm sorry," Sam said. "But I was wondering if you wanted to ride with us since you're alone."

I smiled gratefully but politely said,"Thank you for the kind offer, but I'd like permission from Bumblebee and Optimus Prime." Sam nodded.

"It is alright by me," Optimus said. Bumblebee opened the two doors in the front and then quickly opened the back door. I took that as a yes and slid in. The door closed and Sam and Mikaela hopped in the front. I debated on whether or not Sam invited me to ride with them because of who I was. I deeply felt that he was just being nice, so I went with my gut. Sam's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"So uh… how did the Autobots find you?" He asked. This was more awkward then when I was staring at Prime's ass for a few seconds. "

Well I'm not exactly sure how they found my exact location. I was er… about to jump off a cliff." I winced. This was awful. They'd probably never speak to me again. "Sorry," I whispered. Sam turned around.

"You shouldn't apologize for your choice Rose." I smiled, though even I could tell it never reached my eyes.

"You know...I don't think I would've jumped. I turned around when I saw The moon reflect off of Jazz. If I really wanted to jump...I probably would've done it." So maybe I lied a little. Then it hit me. Did I really lie? Sam smiled.

"Probably." The memory poured back in as I chuckled.

"I did end up falling though. I got scared and backed right off the cliff. Jazz ended up catching me."

Mikaela's eyes went wide and she smiled, though it was kind of a smirk, and said,"I'll bet that was fun." I laughed without humor.

"Maybe. If I wasn't screaming in fear." Mikaela laughed a little and turned back around. I had an odd feeling that Mikaela didn't like me. She probably thought I was spoiled and rich like everyone else. I sighed. Sam looked back at me.

"Are you alright?" Instead of answering, I looked at Mikaela. She had her back turned to me, but I didn't wait for her to turn around.

"Do you think I'm a spoiled rich girl?" Mikaela must have sensed that my question was for her because she turned around and narrowed her eyes.

"I'm not sure because I don't know you personally. But I know how your family is. Maybe I'm stereotyping but that's normally how beauty pageant girls are." Though it definitely did not apply to me, that statement had a bit of truth to it. I nodded and leaned back into the seat. Her conflict might have been deeper than the beauty pageants. Maybe a preppy bully or something. She turned around and stared out the window. Sam cringed as he looked deeply into the steering wheel. There was a talkative silence as we drove. It was about five minutes later when I spoke.

"That's why I was gonna jump ya know." Mikaela and Sam both turned around shock written clearly on their faces.

"Why?" Mikaela asked.

"Our family seems so stuck up on the news and in the papers. So...Perfect. Little does anyone know, it's a mask. Does no one care to get to know us? No...Because why would they? All people know is that we have money and their daughters do beauty pageants. It's all people need to know. It's all people care about. No one knows that whenever I did something wrong...he hit me. My dad. He even told me that if died...he wouldn't really care...So I decided to take him up on that.I guess I'm only to blame...at least that's what I tell myself. Maybe if I'm perfect enough...he won't see that I enjoy fighting and using weapons like my mom. If people cared enough they'd find out that she's one of the nicest people ever. That's she's more than the person who makes money and works for NASA… But they don't." I finished my little rant as I looked down shyly. I didn't understand why of all people, I shared my family issues with them. However, what was done, was done. Mikaela suddenly looked so guilty, I even felt a little bad.

"Wow I'm sorry. I guess I understand what you mean." It was clear that she still didn't fully trust me but who could blame her? I didn't fully trust her either. I don't think that I truly trusted anyone yet. We pulled into Sam's house and we all filed out of Bumblebee. All the Autobots remained in their form of cars. Sam turned and gave us all direct instructions.

"I really need you guys to wait here for five minutes. Give me five minutes." Mikaela and I nodded. Sam jogged off and left us with what we would find out, were the most impatient Autobots one could ever find. They waited for about two minutes before I could tell they were having a difficult time of standing still. I frowned and let my hand fall onto Optimus's hood.

"Just a little longer," I muttered. Perhaps I should've kept my mouth shut because I soon as I said that, Prime began to transform. "No,no,no. It's okay. Just be a bit more patient. Please," I whisper shouted while I frantically waved my hands in the air. He bent down so he was at my level.

"I am sorry...but we really need those glasses." Immediately, the other Autobots transformed. I looked desperately at Mikaela.

"Help," I mouthed. She stood in front of them and pushed her hands out.

"Sam said five minutes. Give him five minutes." The Autobots shared a look and completely walked past her. We shared a look of panic and a hint of annoyance. We took an indirect route so we ran to the opposite side where BumbleBee peeked around a corner. I made it there just to see Optimus step on a fountain. I winced. I waited for Mikaela and together we both ran to Sam.

"I told you to watch them. I told you," he said panting.

"Okay you know what? They seemed to be in a little bit of a rush," Mikaela said quickly.

"Okay this is bad," Sam said. Then I noticed what seemed to be Sam's dog next to Ironhide. My eyes widened in panic and I quickly got Sam's attention and pointed at it. He quickly turned around and his mouth opened in shock.

"No!" He yelled as the dog began to pee on Ironhide's leg. If I weren't so concerned about the dog's life, I would be laughing my butt off.

"Mojo, Mojo off the robot! God!" He raced over and scooped Mojo up after Ironhide kicked him a feet away. After Sam had explained that dogs were good and the "male dominance" thing. Ironhide stalked off, grumbling about how his foot was gonna rust.

"Shh!" Sam said before racing into his house. We waited for a couple of minutes before Optimus Prime looked at us.

"Perhaps you two should go in and help," he proposed. He really was impatient. We immediately shook our heads.

"No Optimus. We can't just go into his house. You can get arrested for that," I said. Prime crossed his arms while he thought. He glanced over at Sam's OPEN window.

"You guys can go in through that window," he said pointing at it. I looked at Mikaela and nodded.

"Okay," I said sighing. Once we got to Sam's window, he let his hand touch the ground. His palm was facing up and we got the hint. I nodded for Mikaela to go first and she climbed up his hand. He lifted her up to the window and Sam pulled her in. He gave me a look, with an emotion that I didn't recognize. His hand fell to the same position it was in when Mikaela first went. I carefully clambered up his hand and waited patiently to make it up to the window. I noticed the slight difference between Mikaela's ride and my own. I observed how Prime went a little slower and his hand folded in more in a protective cage. Sam held out his hand to pull me in, but I lightly shook my hand and jumped in. Prime whispered a "please hurry," and disappeared from the window. We all stood in Sam's room in a circle. His room was exactly what I imagined...well a teenage boy's room would be like. Sam ducked behind his bed and he began to throw random things in the air. I watched as magazines and other things flew. He quickly stood up to face us.

"No,no. They're definitely gone." He said with a panicked edge to his voice.

"What do you mean?" Mikaela and I both asked at the same time.

"They were in a bag, they were in a backpack and now the backpack isn't here." He said. I held back a groan. What he serious?

"Well they're gonna be pissed so what do you wanna do?" Mikaela asked.

"So what I think you should do is check this whole area, this whole section here. Just give a clean sweep and I'll get the corner here," he said. I frowned.

"Where can I look?" I asked. Sam turned around to face me.

"I want you to check those two drawers over there. Just look through them." I nodded and swiftly jogged over to them. There was a conversation between Sam and Mikaela, though I paid no mind to it. I opened the first drawer only to find a bunch of papers loosely thrown around. I gathered the pile into my hands and threw them onto a nearby desk. I found a few chip bags but no glasses. I turned around only to see Mikaela and Sam looking out of the window. I ran behind them and gasped. The Autobots must not have learned the definition of hide because they absolutely were absolutely horrible at it. They all parked in Sam's backyard as if there wasn't a parking lot right behind them. Sam went back to ripping his room apart to find the glasses. I went to tackle the second drawer when Mikaela said,

"Guys, guys. He's back." Sam rushed to the window while I continued searching the drawer. This drawer was mostly empty except for a few chargers and a bottle of body spray.

"Calm down, calm down." I heard Optimus say. A few more words were shared before I heard the loud footsteps of the Autobots walking away. It was quiet for a good few seconds. A few seconds. Suddenly there was a loud boom, which shook the house. I vaguely heard Sam's dad yell "Earthquake!" I, however, knew better. I hissed to myself and made a beeline to his window. Once I got to the edge I jumped, letting my body fly into a tuck as I hit the ground. I'm sure most people would've been writhing in pain but I was used to it. The pain. Plus I had jumped out of a lot of windows. I ran to find Ratchet lying on the ground.

"Wow that was tingly. Try that," he said.

"Yeah that looks fun," Ironhide replied.

"No! It is not fun. You just took out the neighborhoods power. Come on get up. Hurry!" I said exasperatedly. I knew for a fact that the Autobots were very intelligent but sometimes they acted like children. Ratchet stood up and the three of us re-joined the group, who had congregated back in front of Sam's house.

"Ratchet point the light," Optimus said.

"No, turn it off," I whispered. My request, of course, was ignored. Sam stuck his head out and asked for the light to be turned off, like I had expected. I waited outside with the Autobots, trying to figure out some sort of plan. Like always, my brain was being useless. I looked up to see that the Autobots were shifting from their positions. I glanced up at Sam's window and I heard a conversation that I could barely make out. Though I couldn't hear it, I could tell that it was a different voice than Mikaela's. 'His parents,' I thought. Sam's dad stuck half of his body out the window and said a bunch of things that I paid no attention to. The lights were back on and I wondered how long I had been thinking. I was already behind Ironhide's leg so he almost stepped on me when he took a step back. At least that snapped me out of my mental state. On top of helping an alien race, I swore that I was slowly losing my mind.

"The parents are very irritating," Ironhide said, his cannon spinning in a deadly motion.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Ratchet agreed, bobbing his head with excitement.

"Can I take them out?" he asked. I gave Optimus Prime a desperate look.

"Prime! Control your rottweiler. Please!" I whispered frantically.

"Ironhide. You know we don't harm humans. What is with you?" Optimus asked. Ironhide shrugged before averting his eyes to stare at the ruined lawn.

"Well I'm just saying we could. It's an option." I sighed and looked back into the window. I believed that they were wrapping their conversation up. It wasn't long before a blue light entered my peripheral vision. I spun around and peeked out from behind the house. I gasped in shook. About four cop cars were in the road, right in front of Sam's house. This was awful. They were here because of me, I was sure of it. My eyes watered. I had promised myself that I would protect the Autobots. I had just done the exact opposite. They had probably tracked me from the phone that I carried stupidly. Now the everyone was in trouble because if me. I looked up at Optimus.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

Boom! How was that? Like I mentioned, I feel like I just watched the movie from a different point of view but I don't know.

Also I'm fully aware of the errors in this. My auto correct is not working and my grammar and spelling are awful. I use three devices to write this (my phone, computer, and iPad). It just depends on where I'm at because I write at school if I have free time. Anyways, I always notice the errors after I publish the chapters and I really think it would be more work to adjust it than to leave it... As long as you guys know what I mean.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed! :)
