I'm really excited with this guys. Everyone seems to really like it, it makes me happy! I try to update everyday and if I ever miss a day, I'll let you know. So yeah, I'll continue with the story and I hope it stays a success!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I have never in my entire 16 years of life, ever owned or came close to owning Transformers. Sorry for the disappointment!

So things are definitely starting to go in a different direction compared to my original version. I hope you guys are still enjoying it. It's been a blast to write. And omg, it says I was sixteen when this was originally written! I'm turning twenty-five in less than two months! That's insane!

Chapter 3:

Mandy and I decided to go back to my place after dealing with Miles. Despite it still being pretty early in the day, we were pretty done with other people. While Mandy enjoyed going out and partying, she knew I did not. Hanging out with me trumped everything else. It's what made her such a great best friend.

"Pizza?" I asked her as I unlocked my front door. Mandy followed me inside, throwing her keys unto the same wall hook that I put my house keys. We both kicked our shoes off and pushed them against the hallway wall. "Um, yes." Mandy grinned.

She followed me into the living room where I then pulled my phone out and dialed the local pizza joint. While I took care of the ordering, Mandy walked over to the dvd shelf and began perusing through the stacks of cases. Once I finished the call, I joined her. "So what are we feeling tonight? Action, romance, comedy, oooh or Horror!" Mandy grinned evilly while holding up the newest Halloween movie.

"Um no. You know if I'm gonna watch any horror movie, it's gonna be It." I snatched the case from her hands and put it back on the shelf. Then I saw a movie that had me grinning from ear to ear. Mandy recognized that look and groaned. "Come on, you know you want to." I wiggled my eyebrows playfully.

She laughed and shook her head. "You and that movie, I swear. Fine, put it in."

I squealed with excitement and hugged her. Then I skipped over to the dvd player and put the disk in. I skipped through all the previews, straight to the main menu. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the four terrapins that had stolen my heart when the movie released in theaters back in March. I saw the TMNT movie in theaters at least 6 times and the moment it was released on dvd, I bought it. Mandy has been forced to watch it multiple times since then. I knew she secretly loved it as much as I did though.

We decided to wait for the pizza to get here before playing the movie. "You want a soda?" I asked my friend. She nodded, replying that she wanted a Dr Pepper, as if I didn't already know that.

When I walked into the kitchen, I almost immediately spotted the note on the fridge door. When I stepped closer, I recognized my mother's handwriting. I guess she had stopped home at some point while we were out. I removed the magnet so I could take it in my hands, and flipped it open to read it.

Jenny,

I stopped by real quick to pack. I'm leaving town for a few days for an important business meeting in France. So, do your chores and stay out of trouble. I'll be home next Friday.

Love always,

Mom

I rolled my eyes and crumpled it into a ball, throwing away in the trash can next to the fridge. "If you loved me, you would actually be home every once in a while." I muttered angrily. I suppose I should be used to her being gone all the time, but it was hard. Despite all her flaws, she was still my mother and I just wanted her to do something that showed that she had even an ounce of affection for me.

I really hoped the Autobots got here soon. At least I knew they cared about me.

With a sigh, I opened up the fridge and pulled out a couple Dr Peppers. Then I walked back into the living room and tossed Mandy hers. "Mom is gone for the week. Again. So feel free to spend as many nights here as you can." I informed my friend, trying and failing to hide the irritation in my voice.

"I'm sorry, sweetie. I know I can stay through the weekend. And hey, school is nearly over for the year so maybe mom will let me stay longer!" Mandy tried cheering me up.

I smiled weakly at my friend. "Thanks." I looked down at my phone, which was sitting on the coffee table where I'd tossed it after ordering the pizza. "Oh, I need to call Sam!" I grinned, pushing out any thoughts of my mother's absence and focusing on the mission I'd be given from my Autobot friends.

Picking the cell up, I scrolled through my contacts until I found his number and dialed it. Sam picked up on the second ring.

"Hello?"He asked.

"Hey Sam, it's Jenny, from school. I'm calling for the glasses."I said. "So how much are you selling them for?" He proceeded to ask me what I'd be willing to pay for them. Clearly he wanted to make the sale but was worried I would bail if he named a price too high. I felt bad asking for a low price when I'd probably pay just about anything within reason, but he asked so, "I'll give you 25."

"Alright. Let's meet at the park tom- Oh, God. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Sam's voice was panicked on the other end of the line. Instantly my mind shifted to Decepticons. Optimus had told me stories about them and I knew they were most likely searching for the glasses as well. I tried asking him what was happening, but he was no longer paying attention to his phone. "That's my car! No!

"Sam?" I tried again urgently.

"No, no, no, no. Dad, call the cops! I gotta go Jenny, someone's stealing my car!"He shouted into the phone. I was ninety percent sure that his car was Bumblebee so the thought of someone stealing him was kind of amusing. I figured Bee was just leaving to send a message to the others. Sam wouldn't know that though so I just wished him luck and told him goodbye.

After the call ended, I noticed that Mandy was looking at me worriedly. I smiled assuredly at her. "Sam's car is currently being stolen." She lifted an eyebrow, curious as to why I found that amusing. "I'm pretty sure his car is Bumblebee."

She laughed at that. Before she could give a reply though, the doorbell rang. I got up and answered the door. A teen boy with long dreads stood on my porch, holding the pepperoni pizza and breadsticks we ordered. "Thank you." I grinned as I handed him a couple twenties. "Keep the change."

He thanked me before turning away. I shut the front door and walked back into the living room. "Ready for some pizza and turtles?" I smirked as I set the box down on the coffee table.

"Hell yeah!" Mandy cheered. As she took her first slice, I pressed play on the remote. The movie began and I cheered before grabbing a slice. "Dork." My friend stuck her tongue out at me. I gently shoved her shoulder and laughed. Then I settled into the couch cushions, getting lost in the world of butt kicking ninja turtles.

I must have fallen asleep during the movie because the next thing I knew, I was standing on the familiar platform that was on the Autobot ship. Standing in front of me was Optimus, who seemed to be lost in thought. I approached him quietly. He was a soldier, however, and heard me.

Optimus looked up and the worried look on his faceplates melted into a warm smile. I felt the familiar tickle in my stomach that I usually felt when I saw him. I started getting strange feelings around Optimus shortly after my sixteenth birthday. At first I hadn't been sure what they meant, but now I did. I cared for him, more so than the other Autobots. And certainly in a different way. Most of them I felt a familial attachment, but Optimus was something different. Something stronger.

"Hello, my angel. I apologize for not greeting you right away. I was lost in thought. Bumblebee has contacted us, he is with Samuel Witwicky. He mentioned that he had seen you." Optimus looked away from me then, but not before I saw his optics darken slightly. What was that about? Could he be upset that Bee got the chance to see me before he did?

"I thought that was Bee." I smiled, despite the odd feeling in my chest. Did Optimus want to be the first bot to meet me? It would make sense seeing how close we were. However, that look was more than just upset, it almost seemed like he was jealous. Optimus Prime, jealous.

Now that was hard to comprehend.

Shaking my head, I dispelled those thoughts. Now was not the time. "When will the rest of you arrive on Earth?" I finally asked after several moments of silence.

"Within a matter of hours, I believe. We should arrive by the time night falls on your side of Earth once more." Optimus replied. "I have asked Bumblebee to pick you up so that you might retrieve the glasses from Samuel Witwicky. He should be outside your house now."

I grinned at that. "No way! Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to officially meet him in person." I stepped closer to Optimus and laid a hand on his leg. "However I'm mostly excited to finally meet you, Optimus. I've waited for most of my life to finally see you in person, tonight could not come soon enough."

Optimus's fans whirred at that, something that usually happens when I embarrass or compliment him. "I look forward to meeting you as well, my angel."

For just one moment, I found myself lost in the sea of bright blue that were his optics. Over the years, there were moments like this. They were charged with an unfamiliar feeling, a longing that was so intense it took my breath away. It reminded me just how important Optimus was to me, and how badly I needed to meet him. I needed to be with him in real life.

The moment ended far too shortly when Optimus broke his gaze, turning to look out the window. Disappointment washed over me, but I pushed it down. "Just one more thing Optimus, my friend Mandy is with me. She'll most likely follow me wherever I go."

Optimus nodded in approval. "I know how much Mandy means to you, Jenny. She is more than welcome to join us on our mission."

"Thank you." I smiled gratefully. Everything began to blur together, one of the signs that meant I was beginning to wake up. "I guess my alarm is going off. I'll see you soon, Optimus Prime." I waved enthusiastically at him.

XxRebelWriterxX

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off on my phone beside me. I was lying belly down a crossed the couch, one leg hanging off the side and a blanket wrapped around my frame. The room was still pretty dark due to the heavy curtains my mom had bought, though the tv gave off a bluish glow. Mandy was still sleeping on the recliner. She could sleep through a herd of buffalo stampeding through the living room.

I pushed myself up and shut off the alarm on my phone. Then I trudged through the house and into the bathroom. After taking care of my business and brushing my teeth, I opened the door to a sleepy looking Mandy on the other side.

"Good morning." I nodded in acknowledgement. She just waved and made a weird grunting noise. Neither of us were morning people. I went to my bed room and picked out an outfit to wear for the day. Deciding that I should probably dress comfortable since I wasn't sure what the next few days would bring, I pulled on a loose fitting green shirt and cargo pants. Then I slipped on some socks and black sneakers. Finally I walked over to my mirror and braided my hair into a ponytail.

Once I was ready to face the day, I left my bedroom. Mandy was still in the bathroom, I could hear the shower running, so I walked to the kitchen and got a glass of water. Looking out into my front yard, I grinned widely at the sight of Bumblebee sitting in my driveway.

I ran outside and to the drivers side of his vehicle form. The door opened for me and I got in. "Bee!" I squealed happily. "I can't believe you're finally here."

"Hey everybody, it's great to be here!" The voice of some radio DJ came through Bee's speakers.

I couldn't help it, I hugged his steering wheel, my eyes becoming misty and my heart nearly bursting through my chest. This was really happening, he was actually truly here, on Earth, with me. And soon the others would be here as well. Optimus would be by my side soon enough.

"Is it, is it time for us to go?" An unfamiliar singer sung on Bee's radio. I could feel a buzz of excitement throughout his cab. I knew we needed to get to our mission, but I couldn't leave without Mandy.

"Give me just a few minutes, Bee. My friend, Mandy, is coming with us."

Bee opened the driver door back open and I climbed out. I couldn't help but run my hand over the frame of his door. Bee shivered at the touch, and I could hear a slight buzzing. I giggled. "Be right back, I promise."

Quickly, I rushed back into the house and into the living room. Mandy was sitting on the couch, drinking a glass of water and scrolling through her phone. "Okay so don't freak out, but Bee is here to take us to Sam. So let's go. You finally get to meet my Autobot friends." I grinned at my best friend as I grabbed my phone off it's charger. I thought about it for a moment before grabbing the charger as well and sticking it into one of my zipper pockets.

"Are you serious?" Mandy grinned before doing the same as I did with her own phone and charger. I nodded enthusiastically. "Sweet, let's go!"

I giggled as she practically dragged me down the hallway. I grabbed my house keys and locked the door as we left.

Mandy stood beside Bee, a look of awe on her face. "They're real. Your Autobot friends are really real. I mean, I always believed you but to have actual proof is amazing." She reached forward and put a palm on Bees hood. He buzzed excitedly, causing both of us to giggle. "This really is Sam's car too, it looks exactly like the one at the lake. "

"I told you. " I grinned. Mandy stuck her tongue out at me. I flipped her off before gesturing towards the passenger side. "Alright we got a mission to get to, climb on in."

Mandy did so as I walked around to the driver's side and got in. "This is so weird, we are inside a living being. " My friend commented as we buckled our seat belts. Bee took off as soon as they clipped into place.

"It's different, that's for sure. But I trust Bee with my life. In Cybertronian years, Bee is actually younger than us. He's like 15. Granted he's been 15 basically our entire lives, but that's not the point. I've already claimed him as my big brother. " I explained before hugging Bees wheel for the second time that day. Bee began making beeping and clicking noises that I recognized as their Cybertronian language. Over the years, I've heard my Autobot friends converse in their native tongue. Enough so that I could recognize certain noises. Optimus once told me that the sound he was currently making translated roughly to spark sister. "Thanks Bee."

"Wait, you can understand him?" Mandy gasped. "You never told me that! What did he just say?"

"I can't understand most of what they say, but I can recognize certain terms. Bee just basically called me his spark sister. While we're not actually related, Bee, in his spark, considers me his sister. If I were a Cybertronian, we would be able to form a sibling bond because of how close we are. At least that's what Ratchet explained."

"Ratchet is the medic right?" She asked and I nodded in confirmation. "Cool, I'm definitely going to bug him for more information."

I laughed but before I could reply, we pulled into the driveway of a pretty nice looking suburban home. I assumed it was Sam's. "Damn, Sammie has a nice place." Mandy smirked and I nodded in agreement.

Bee honked his horn to try and get his attention. Not even three minutes later, Sam came running out the door, clutching onto his phone, and shouted something in our direction before disappearing into his garage.

"Bee, I think you freaked him out yesterday. " I couldn't help but giggle. Bee revved his engine and his radio sprang to life, "Oops, I did it again." Brittney Spears sang much to our amusement.

Sam came racing out of the garage on a pink bike, pedaling into the grass to give us a wide berth. I wondered if he'd seen us through the windshield or if he was too freaked out to notice. He took off down the street, going faster than I honestly expected him to be able to. Sam didn't seem like the most athletic person.

Bee backed up from the driveway and took off after him, tires screeching. However, instead of using the road like a normal car, Bee straddled the sidewalk in his pursuit.

"Bumblebee, you can't drive on the sidewalk. " I giggled. "You need to use the road."

He beeped in acknowledgement and switched over to the sidewalk. Sam had pulled ahead of us during this exchange and by time we caught up to him, he was on his back. He'd somehow managed to flip his bike. I also noticed Mikaela sitting with some girls from school.

They exchanged a few words before Sam was back on his bike and took off again. He once again got ahead of us, (how in the world was he out pedaling a car?) but this time we lost him completely.

"Where did he go?" I wondered aloud. Mandy shrugged while Bee beeped sadly. We drove around a bit before I pointed out a warehouse. Bee approached it slowly but he suddenly stopped. "Bee?" I questioned.

"Enemies approaching"

"There must be a Decepticon." I guessed and Bee beeped affirmatively. He sped into the warehouse, where we were greeted with the sight of Sam being interrogated by a con on top of a car.

Bee pulled to the side and opened our doors. "Stay here." He warned us as we got out. As soon as we were clear, he shut his doors and sped away. I finally got to see his true form as he transformed and tackled the Decepticon.

"Holy shit." Mandy breathed in amazement. I gulped and nodded in agreement.

"They're beautiful aren't they?" I asked her. It was her turn to nod. Then I noticed Sam was paralyzed with fear on the ground. I elbowed Mandy and the two of us ran over to help him up. "Come on Sam, we gotta get out of here."

"Jenny, Mandy? What are you two doing here?" He asked as he accepted my hand to pull him up.

"That's a long story and currently irrelevant. We need to find somewhere to hide until Bee can kick that Cons ass." I answered. Sam looked even more confused, but he followed us as we sprinted away from the fighting Cybertronians. We managed to get back outside, but that's when we noticed another person had followed us here. "Mikaela?"

Sam ran right at her, waving and shouting at her to stop, before he completely clotheslined her. Mikaela fell off her bike, Sam landing practically on top of her. "What is your problem Sam?" Mikaela growled. Mandy and I caught up with them and quickly helped them up.

"Okay, there's a monster right there! It just attacked me! Here he comes! You have to run! Okay." Sam panicked. I turned around and saw that the Decepticon had lost Bee and was now catching up to his.

"Shit, shit, shit we gotta go!" I screamed and grabbed at Sam's shirt, Mandy followed my direction and grabbed Mikaela.

"Guys, what is that thing?"Mikaela asked but before anyone could answer, Bee pulled up beside us. Mandy and I quickly ran over to him, shouting at them to get into the car. Sam only hesitated for a moment before following us.

"You have to get in the car. Get in." Sam tried to direct Mikaela. She took a step back and I could see tears in her eyes as she protested.

"I don't want to,"Mikaela cried out afraid. "Get in the car. Trust me. Trust me!"Sam shouted, offering her his hand. She only hesitated for a moment. The Decepticon roared. "Get in! Go, go, go, go, go. Go, go, go, go!"

Mikaela gave up and hopped into the passenger seat. Mandy and I had already crawled into the backseat so that they could be up front. The Decepticon got up from where Bee had tackled him back and transformed into a police cruiser.

"Oh, God! We're gonna die! We're gonna die!"Mikaela cried, as it took after us once more. Mandy looked at me and I could see a hint of fear in her eyes. I took my best friend's hand and squeezed.

"No, we're not. No, we're not gonna die."Sam tried to assure her. It didn't work. "Trust me. He's a kick-ass driver!"

"Oh, my God! No! We're gonna die! Oh, my God!" Mikaela cried some more.

"Mikaela calm down, we'll be fine. I know Bee will keep us safe." I gently rubbed the leather seats and the Autobot purred in appreciation. Mikaela still looked green but she nodded slightly.

Sam turned to us with a confused frown. "Want to tell me just what the fuck is going on here?" He snapped, his fear causing him to lash out. I bit my lip and looked out the window. "Like I said, it's a long story. I'll tell you when we're somewhere safe." I replied.

After a long day of being chased, Bee stopped in yet another warehouse and turned everything off. I saw the Decepticon pass by in front of us slowly but I don't think he saw us. Bee locked the front doors, afraid they would try something stupid.

"We're locked in."Sam said as he tried to open the door then he attempted to turn the keys. "The car won't start. At least we ditched the monster, right?"

Mikaela just looked at him, eyes wide with fear. Suddenly Bee took off, catching the Decepticons attention. We sped past him but we didn't get far before Bee stopped. He opened the door, signaling us to get out. We quickly hopped out and once it was safe, Bee transformed. He stood in front of us protectively. Sam and Mikaela practically clung to each other. Bee once again tackled the Con as it transformed.

"We need to get to higher ground so we don't get turned into pancakes." I shouted over the battle noises. I grabbed Mandy's hand and led her away. However, the Con wasn't going to let us get away easily. I looked back in time to see him release a miniature Decepticon. "Shit, run guys!" I screamed.

We didn't get far before the mini con grabbed a hold of Sam's pants. Sam fell forward and landed hard on his stomach. "He's got me! Oh, God! He's going to kill me! No. No, no, no!"Sam yelled as he kicked off his pants. "Get off!"

Mandy and I raced forward and reached under his arms to attempt to pull him free. Mikaela had run off somewhere, but none of us cared at the moment. We just wanted to get Sam free. This sucker was strong though and Sam was slipping away. "No, no come on!" I groaned as I pulled even harder.

The sound of a chainsaw nearly startled me enough to let go but then I saw it was just Mikaela. She slashed down at the mini bot. "Kill it! Kill it! Get it, get it, get it, get it!"Sam shouted as she completely beheaded it.

"Not so tough without a head, are you?"Sam gloated, before kicking the head far off. Mikaela picked up his pants and handed it back to him.

"Here, come on." She told us. We walked over to where Bee was standing proudly over the fallen Decepticon. "What is it?" Mikaela asked, almost breathlessly.

"It's a robot. But like a... Like a different... You know, like a super-advanced robot. It's probably Japanese. Yeah, it's definitely Japanese."Sam tried to explain, though he was obviously confused himself. Sam took a couple steps forward, albeit hesitantly. Mandy and I exchanged looks before we ran up the hill, leaving the two of them to talk.

"Bee are they here?" I asked, knowing that he would understand who I was talking about. Bee buzzed with excitement and nodded while pointing towards the sky. So they were close by then, but they'd be here soon. I would finally meet my Optimus.

"Really? Well, do you speak robot? Because they just had, like, a giant droid deathmatch." I heard Mikaela ask and I zoned back into their conversations. She was staring at him like he was crazy, and she kept flicking her eyes over to Mandy and I worriedly.

"I think it wants something from me."Sam said, he was slowly inching closer. Mikaela just looked annoyed now as she asked him what he meant. "Well, 'cause the other one was talking about my eBay page."

"You are the strangest boy. I have ever met."

"Can you talk?"Sam asked Bee instead of replying to Mikaela's comment.

"XM Satellite Radio... Digital cable brings you... ... Columbia Broadcasting System..."Bee answered, piecing together different broadcasts. Sam instantly got that he talked through the radio, much to Bee's happiness. "Thank you, you're beautiful. You're wonderful, you're wonderful." My Autobot friend began clapping his hands, much to my amusement.

"So, what was that last night? What was that?"Sam asked.

"Message from Starfleet, Captain... Throughout the inanimate vastness of space... Angels will rain down like visitors from heaven! Hallelujah!"Bee replied.

"Visitors from heaven? What... What are you, like, an alien or something?"Mikaela asked with a slight eye roll, as if the very idea was ridiculous. Honestly though, what other explanation could there be? He was definitely not like anything we've ever seen or heard about on Earth.

Bee nodded and pointed at her as if to say she was right. Then he transformed back into his camaro and opened the door. "Any more questions you want to ask?"

"Finally, I'm tired and ready to go."I said as I marched up to the car, Mandy following me. I let her crawl in first, but before I got in, I looked back at Sam and Mikaela. They were still talking, Sam looked determined now but Mikaela was hesitant.

"He wants us to get in the car."Sam told Mikaela. She laughed nervously and asked where they were going. "Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?"Sam asked.

She only hesitated for a second more before she finally walked past him and towards Bee. She gave me a slight smile which I returned before getting into Bees car form and joining my best friend in the back. Mikaela moved into the middle of the front seat while Sam slid in beside her. Neither of them got into the driver's seat.

Once the door was closed again, Bee drove off. My heart began beating with anticipation. It was finally happening, I was on my way to finally meet Optimus Prime. I was so excited that I forgot that Sam and Mikaela would both have questions. That is until Sam turned around in his seat to look at us.

"Okay, now I think it's time for that explanation you owe us."

(So, I'm really excited about this! I'm getting a lot of favorites and a nice amount of reviews. I think this story will be more successful than my other one! If you're a ninja turtle fan, check it out! It's called Forever! Anyway, thanks for reading and R&R!)

Hehe, they got some explaining to do, don't they? So what do y'all think about me including Mandy from the beginning? I decided the other version was a little unrealistic. So she's just gonna tag along with Jenny through the whole story! Give me your thoughts in that beautiful thing known as a review!
