Hello again everyone! I just want to take this chance to thank everyone for their continued support on this story. I love all the feedback and look forward to more. So, without further ado here another chapter!
JerseyPrime23: I'm glad you do! Thank you! I was hoping to make her that way. SOrry this update wasn't sooner.
RoboDork97: Lol! Yep I am! I don't like to throw around my religious beliefs cause I know it makes some uncomfortable. It's very comforting that your accepting of it. :D so thank you for that! Don't worry Averie wasn't gonna stay down for long! I can't wait either!
Sonicfan4life: Lol! I thought so too. It's sad that there aren't more Jazz X OC fics out there. Enjoy!
The Random Gues: Lol! I'm back! Its one of my favorites. So sick of school! It keeps me from updating my stories. Lol. I'm glad cause I thought I was doing it wrong.
Lezlie: Goodie! SO happy! Thats my biggest goal is to keep it realistic cause I believe that it keeps people more interested. In reality if someone had a change with their body they would have to go through theorpy so thats how I wanted to do things. Thank you for your support!

Two days. Two days and the most I can do up to this point is stand up. The positive side is that I can even stand up on my own without much assistance or wobbling. I still need help actually getting up because my legs sometimes don't support my weight. They try to crumble like a tower of blocks and it's very frustrating.
Just about everyone has been in to visit, except for mom because she had to go back to work. I hated to see her go, but I don't want her to risk losing her job just for me. Whenever the twins came in to visit I make sure to let them know that I now know who their dad is. They were very dramatic about it and is say things like, "Having the Hatchet for a creator is pure torture!" or "Hard to believe two great looking mechs like us came from that." They were hit over the heads with a wrench for that.
It was during the twins visit that they made another comment on how I looked. Sunny said it was hard to believe a human could look good as one of them…I'm still not sure how to take that. So that got me really wanting to see how I looked. Sunny brought a Cybertronian sized mirror from his room, no surprise there, so that I could see myself. I was actually surprised at what I saw. Of course I was the basic silver color. I was slim, and my helm looked sort of spikey, but only around my audios and the crest on my forehead. It's not like its Megatron spikey. Instead of the blunt digits like everyone else, I have clawed digits. Instead of looking frightening like Starscreams they look sort of elegant.
The coolest thing is that I have these glyphs that run from my shoulders to my wrists. They are on both arms and both had "Guardian of the Allspark." The design of them was pretty because instead of going straight the glyphs were coiled around my arm, like they were swirling. What was strange, yet cool, was that they would glow a sparkling gold, which would hypnotize me just watching them.
Everyone commented on how pretty they made me look. I was average in looks when I was human so I can't exactly be a judge on beauty, especially now that I'm Cybertronian. Everyone assures me that I am though, especially Jazz.
"Alright lift your left leg and take one step forward." Ratchet instructs from his spot on my left side.
I manage to lift my leg but when I try to take a step it wants to drag instead. I sigh in frustration and try again. It doesn't drag as bad so that must mean I'm making progress. Jazz keeps giving me praise from his spot on my other side. Both mechs are holding my arms so that I don't fall. We manage to get to the other side of the room. "Good job darlin'." Jazz praises.
"Thanks, but I don't really feel like I accomplished much." I reply.
"Trust me youngling. You've accomplished quite a bit for someone in your condition. You've come a long way in such a short amount of time." Ratchet states.
"Are you sure your not just saying that to make me feel better?" I ask.
He chuckles and says, "As your doctor I would not lie to you."
A thought crosses my mind for a moment and then I ask, "Do you think I could try walking by myself?"
"I'm not so sure that's wise right now. Your legs are not ready to fully put the weight required to walk onto them." Ratchet replies skeptically.
"Please. Can I just try? Just one step." I ask.
Ratchet ponders this and then says, "Alright, but Jazz and I will be within grabbing distance should you fall."
I nod and the two mechs step away from me as I grib the berth that I'm standing by. It may not be necessary but I take a deep breath and then lift my leg to take a step. Once its back on the ground I let go of the berth. I look down and see that I've taken my first step by myself. I look at the two mechs happily. "I did it! I took my first step by myself! This must be what a baby feels like!" I exclaim happily.
Both mechs chuckle at my excitment. "Excellent. Now, do you think you can try another step?"
Since I've been standing up by myself that shouldn't be a problem. I lift my other foot and take another step, and I don't fall. Feeling good about myself I take another step, and I don't fall. I go to take my next step but my legs decide that they've done enough for now because they give out from under me. Before I can hit the floor, Jazz catches me around the waist and holds me close. "Easy there darlin'."
When he caught me I gripped his arms pretty hard cause I thought I was gonna fall. "So much for being on a roll." I state sadly.
"Don't cha worry darlin'. Ya did great. A few steps by yaself is good. I'm proud of ya." Jazz praises as he looks at me lovingly.
I can't help but duck my head in shyness and just lay my head on his chest.
"Although ya could loosin' ya grip a bit." He replies with a chuckle.
Realizing I'm still giving his arms a death grip I retract my claws from his arm and see that I've left dents. "I gave you dents. I'm sorry."
"Easy fix darlin'." He replies sweetly.
"Alright I think that's enough for now. No need to exhaust yourself. You should rest for a little while." Ratchet advises.
"But how am I gonna get better if I don't practice?" I ask.
"If you push yourself too far too fast you could risk pushing your progress futher back. Trust me, you will do yourself a world of good by resting appropiately." Ratchet adds.
"Ya heard da doctor little lady. Off to da berth ya go." Jazz then scoops me up and carries me bridal style to one of the berths.
"But I'm not tired." I argue.
"Doesn't matter. As your medic I'm telling you to rest. Don't make me get a wrench." Ratchet playfully threatens.
"Ya can practice more when ya wake up darlin'." Jazz says. He then bends down and kisses my forehead as I fall to sleep...er I mean recharge.
TIME SKIP
A few days later after waking up from another nap, which I'm still grumbling about, I notice that the med bay is empty. I find that strange since Jazz and Ratchet have been here religiously since I woke up. "Oh well." I think aloud. Then I practice before they get back. Might have something impressive to show when they do."
With some new confidence I sit up and move to the edge of the berth. After taking a breath, still not necassary. I stand up. "So far so good." I say hopefully. I then start to walk. One step turns to two. Two turns to three. Although my knees are a bit wobbly I manage not to fall. Before I know it I'm standing at the other side of the room, and I can't believe it. "I did it." I say quietly and then with more excitment I continue, "I did it!"
The sound of clapping fills the room and the noise surprises me so much that I fall when I try to turn to see whose clapping. I see Jazz, Ratchet, and Jolt rushing over to help me. Jazz and Jolt each grab one of my arms and help me stand up. "Are you alright darlin?" Jazz asks.
"Yeah. You guys just surprised me is all." I reply.
"We figured as much when you fell." Jolt replies which surprises me since he's always so quite.
"Care to explain why you were walking without supervision?" Ratchet sternly asks.
"I wanted to practice... I wanted to start being useful." I reply meekly.
All the mechs look confused and Ratchet asks, "Useful? What are you talking about?"
"Well I've been in here for a while and I've just now managed to walk across the room by myself. I want to start helping the Autobots." I reply a bit sadly.
"Oh darlin' ya are helpful. Like Ratch said, it'll take time." Jazz comforts.
"But I've already been in here over a week and thats not counting the time I was uncounscious. How much time is this supposed to take." I ask.
"I told you I'm not sure, but considering that you've walked across the room by yourself I'd say your progress will be completed sooner than expected." Ratchet replies.
"How soon is sooner?" I ask.
Ratchet sighs and says, "I'm as new to this as you are, so I can't say exactly."
I sigh and say, "I was afraid of that."
Jazz hugs me and comfortingly says, "Don't be so down darlin'. Ya doin really good. You'll be runnin and transformin in no time."
"Transforming? I'd end up stuck in some odd shape at the rate I'm going." I reply.
Jazz laughs and says, "No ya wont. I've never known anyone that got stuck while transformin."
"Well you never heard of a human turning into a Cybertronian either, until now." I argue.
"Don't worry. You won't be attempting any transforming for a while." Ratchet states.
"Honestly I'm ok with that." I reply.
Alright that's it for now. SOrry it was so short but I had a case of writers block but really wanted to put up an update. DOn't worry though it will get better. Cya later!
