Jackie was packing her school bag when she heard a commotion coming from downstairs. She went to go see what was going on. What she saw surprised and amazed her. Terre were horses in the firehouse and the Rescue Bots were trying to catch them. There were nine horses, 10 if you counted Abby.

"Ugh! This is getting tire some," Heatwave complained. He prepared to shoot icy cold water at the horses.

"Woah! Heatwave, let me handle this," Jackie said.

"Well," Heatwave lowered his arm, "you can try."

Jackie observed the horses behavior and found the alpha male. She got some carrots out of her horse treat bag and gave them to him. After he finished eating, she put her hand on his head, near the ears. Her hair turned blue.

"His name is Hawk," she said, "and he was looking for shelter for the herd because a storm is coming and the followed the cave to here. You guys spooked them."

"Sorry horses." Boulder said.

"They need a bath and some food," Jackie looked at the bots, "Can you guys help?"

"We will." Chase said.

Kade had a lot on his mind, mainly because he was gonna be a dad in nine months.

How can I be so stupid? he thought, I should've known better! I'm gonna be the worst dad ever!

CRSPLASH!

"What the..." Kade half ran, half walked to the fire pole. When he got to the bottom of the pole he saw what made the noise (a water bucket got knocked over). "Where did these horses come from?!"

"He seems friendly," the mini horse, Teacup, said.

"You get used to him," Jackie said, cleaning up the spilled mess.

"Get these stupid, smelly horses out of here," Kade said with anger in his voice, "NOW!"

Jackie was scared. Why is he shouting?

"Didn't you here me? Get these stupid, smelly horses out of here!"

"N-no," Jackie squeaked, trying not to transmutate, "I w-won't. They need help."

"Look, Jackie!" Kade yelled as he grabbed her arm, "You're gonna get these stupid horses out of here, you dumb bitch!"

"NO!" Jackie's eyes changed from human to dragon.

"I don't think Kade meant to call you-" Heatwave started to say before...

SLAP!

The Rescue Bots couldn't believe it. Kade slapped Jackie!

Jackie started to transmutate and Kade looked like he saw a ghost, which he was afraid of.

"Oh, God!"

Graham, who was walking to the kitchen, stopped in his tracks when he heard his older brother's scream. He ran to the fire pole and slid down it. He somehow managed to stop halfway down when he saw why his older brother screamed. Jackie had turned into a 15-foot anthromorphic dragon and was chasing Kade!

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to slap you!" Kade screamed as he tried to escape Jackie anger.

The Rescue Bots were trying to stop Jackie, but she flicked them away with her tail.

"RAAAWRR!" Jackie was getting more angry.

"RAAAWRR!"

Someone's in a bad mood, K-9 thought, What caused her to transmutate this time?

K-9 trotted over to the elevator and pressed the buttons with his nose. When he got to the bottom, the doors opened and...

"AAAHHHH!"

WHAM! THUD!

K-9 looked at Kade, who totally got winded, and figured he did something that made her mad. He saw Jackie in a corner crying, she was slowly turning back to normal. He also saw a string (another word for herd) of horses huddled tightly together.

"Hey," K-9 said to the horses, "what happened?"

When Jackie calmed down she insisted on going to school.

Chase printed out a map for her.

"I'll give you the map after you apologize for throwing Kade," Chase said.

"He slapped me," Jackie said, "I'm not gonna apologize."

"Then you don't get the map."

"Screw you," Jackie muttered before she went to saddle her horse.

"Who made Jackie mad?" Brains said sleepily.

So far, Jackie had no idea where she was going. She tried to find the high school, but she was lost. She also was still upset because Kade slapped her for no reason. Was it because of her autism?

Whoop! Whoop!

Jackie jumped in her saddle and turned her head around. It was Chase and Chief. Jackie started to panic on the inside and Abby knew she would involuntarily transmutate again if provoked. Chase and Chief pulled up to them. Chase's passenger side window rolled down.

"The school's the other way Jackie," Chief said, "and I'm sorry that Kade slapped you."

"Y-you're not g-gonna arrest me?" Jackie asked.

"Nope," Chief said, "Kade hasn't acted like that for a few years. And one more thing." He handed her a laptop and a remote control monster truck (remember the prologue?). "They're gonna help you out on your first day."

"Okay." Jackie trotted to the school... and then she made a wrong turn.

"Jackie turned into a dragon?!" Cody said.

"Again?" Lindsy moaned.

Everyone was surprised at two things: 1) Kade slapped Jackie, and 2) Jackie turned into a dragon.

"Optimus did say she has trouble controlling her transmutate abilities," Boulder said.

"He should have told us what she turned into," Heatwave said.

Jackie was on her way home from school. What a great first day she had! No one teased her! No one called her weird! But they were surprised at her horse and two minibots.

She walked Abby into the makeshift stall behind the firehouse. She also gave the other horses treats.

"Hey, Jackie."

Jackie turned around. She saw Kade.

"Look," Kade began, "I'm sorry I-"

"GO AWAY!" Jackie screamed. She grabbed a rock on the ground and threw it at Kade.

"Whoa!" Kade barely missed it. "Uh, talk to your horses!" He slowly backed off."

Two weeks had passed and Jackie, Lindsy, Brains, Wheelie, and the horses moved to a newly refurbished ranch house and barn five miles from the school. Jackie had still not forgiving Kade for hitting her.
