Welcome back to my world! Lol, I am now going to precede to take your souls from you! Prepare to die! I promise it won't hurt . . . much! :)

Disclaimer: I do own your souls! Anyone who reads this knows that I do! Hahaha! But I don't own Transformers. I mean, it's kind of obvious. If my awesome mind created something equally as awesome, the world wouldn't be able to handle it! Everything would explode!

Chapter 13: Free Time Always Leads To Disasters

It took weeks before the government granted our request to move to a bigger base. All the autobots were exciting, including myself. Mandy would come along and train with Ratchet to be a medic. Sunfire was starting to get a little bigger. It was cute. She went up to my new in human form.

Today was moving day.

The whole base was chaotic as everyone ran around, trying to get last minute stuff together. I just watched, slightly amused by the whole thing. I was in my human form with Mandy. Sunfire was standing by my leg, watching everyone curiously.

"Hey, you wanna go for a walk? I don't think anyone is gonna be done for a while."Mandy asked.

I looked down a Sunfire. She was too big to fit in my sparkling chamber and couldn't have an alt. mode yet.

"What about Sunny?"

Mandy looked down at her too.

"Oh! I have an idea! Isn't Sam, Mickaela, and Bee here right now helping get everything together?"She asked.

"Yeah . . ."I answered cautiously.

"What if we give Sunny to Bee and Sam and ask Mickaela to come with us. Sides, Mickaela is gonna be working with me and Ratch, I might as well get to know her."

I thought about the idea for a sec and grinned.

"Let's do it! Come on Sunny! You wanna stay with Uncle Bee and Uncle Sam for a little while?"I asked my sparkling.

She giggled.

"Yes! Yes!"

Sunfire already knew a couple words in English. She could even say some broken sentences too. Normally she just spoke in Cybertronian cause it was easier for her at the moment.

"Great, let's go then!"

We walked towards the main hanger where we knew they would be. Sunny was hanging onto my legs as she watched everything and everyone with childlike fascination.

When we arrived, we immediately spotted Bee. He was the only bot in there after all. We walked over towards them. Sam and Mickaela were helping some soldier sort paperwork.

"Hey guys!"I said when we approached them.

Bee clicked and whistled when he saw us. I knew enough Cybertronian to know he was saying hi.

Hey guys."Sam and Mickaela said.

"So Mickaela, we wanted to know if you wanted to go for a walk in Mission City?"I asked.

She grinned.

"Shopping too?"

"You know it! The president gave me my own government credit card! Unlimited money!"

"Sweet, what about Sunny."

I looked up at the two guys with a puppy dog face.

"Can you guys pwease watch Sunny for me. Pwease!"I begged.

I guess they couldn't say no to the puppy dog face, and considering Sunny was also doing it, they agreed.

"Yay! You guys are the best! We'll be back in a few hours!"

I kissed Sunny on the head.

"You be good for these to, you hear."I told her.

"Yes, momma"She said.

I giggled and then the girls followed me out.

"Do we need to tell your boyfriend were going on?"Mandy teased.

I giggled.

"Yeah, probably. He's over there."I pointed to where Optimus was turning the corner.

We all skipped over to where he was walking.

"Optimus!"I yelled up to my mate.

He looked down surprised and stopped. Then he bent down so that he was closer to us.

"What is it, my angel?"He asked.

I smiled.

"Were gonna go into Mission City for a little while to do some shopping. We need a little break from here and kinda hang out. Is that ok?"I asked.

He looked a little uncertain, but nodded when we all gave him pleading faces.

"Alright, just be careful. Stick together."He answered reluctantly.

"Thank you!"I squealed. "Don't worry, I'm always careful!"

He chuckled.

"Where is Sunfire staying then?"

"With Bee and Sam."

He nodded.

"Alright. Have fun. Be back before dark."He told us.

"Don't worry! We will! I love you."I said as we started walking away.

"I love you too, my angel."He shouted after us.

I giggled as I followed the girls out. It was going to be nice to have some fun for a little while and hanging out with human girls, no robots whatsoever. It's been a long time since I was let off the base, let alone hang out with just the girls. Not that it was a big deal, I love hanging out with Optimus and little Sunny.

"Alright, where too first?"Mandy said, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Let's go to the mall! Tons of store, food, and hot guys."Mickaela suggested.

We all giggled, knowing that Mickaela and I were perfectly happy with our guys, or mech in my case. But hey, what girl doesn't go to the mall and stake out cute guys? It's like a written rule!

"I agree! Mall sounds like fun! I haven't been to one in a while. Mostly cause Tranquility doesn't havea mall."I said.

"Sounds good to me! I'm the only single one here, maybe I'll find someone!"Mandy said.

We all giggled again as we got onto a bus outside the dam that would take us straight to the mall. The bus wasn't too packed because not a lot of people wanted to go to Mission City after the attack 6 months ago. Yep, it's already been six months! It's unbelievable to us too!

But Mission City has pretty much been cleaned up. They're was still a lot of small business' closed up and lot's of homeless people, but the streets have been cleaned up and a lot of the big business' opened up.

We decided to sit in the seat closet to the front, right behind the driver. We giggled and joked around the entire time.

"So, what's it like being a mom?" Mickaela asked.

I smiled at the thought of my little Sparkling.

"It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. She's started saying a few English words too. We're so proud of her. She's also started walking on her own and I no longer have to feed her. She can feed herself!"I explained.

They awed.

"She's just the cutest little thing ever! I want one!"Mandy said, smiling happily at the thought.

I giggled.

"Maybe you could adopt, but you'll have to get an older one cause you won't be able to feed her or him!"I joked playfully.

She stuck her tongue out at me.

"Whatever. I stick with having my own kids, thank you very much."

Mickaela and I laughed and Mandy mocked pouted.

The bus pulled to a stop and I knew we had arrived from looking out the window.

"Come on guys, we're here!"I said, pointing out the window.

We jumped up and followed people of the bus. The mall was pretty huge. We walked into the store through the front entrance.

"What store first?" I asked.

"I don't care, pick one!"Mandy said, giggling.

We spent four hours going from store to store, trying on different clothes. We tried on thousands of outfits, some for fun, others cause we really did wanted to buy them. By the end of our shopping experience, we all had four different outfits, two sun dresses, new swim suits- I mean, we're moving on a beach- and different kinds of shoes and accessories.

"That was so much fun!"I said as we collapsed into chairs in the food court.

"I know right! I'm hungry now. I want some pizza!"Mandy said, pointing over at the nearest food booth, which just handed to have all pizza!

"Me too! Let's eat! One of us should stay here and save the table. It's kinda crowded in here, we don't want anyone to steal our table!"I said.

"I'll stay here. Just get me two slices of pepperoni, some bread sticks and a Pepsi."Mickaela said.

"Got it! We'll be right back!"

Mandy and I got into the line and waited for our turn. When it was, I asked for two slices of cheese and three bread sticks. Mandy asked for two slices of sausage and four bread sticks. Then we gave them Mickaela's order and two Pepsi's for us.

After they gave us the order, we walked back over to where Mickaela was at.

"Food!"She said as she grabbed her order from me.

I giggled.

"Hungry?"I asked.

She nodded.

"I can tell."I said as I started eating.

Most Cybertronians couldn't eat human food. I was a unique exception. I think it was because I was human to begin with. Though food didn't do much for energy, it was mostly just for normalcy and enjoyment. Plus, I could only eat it when I was in human form.

As we ate, we continued to joke around and laugh. I hadn't had this much fun in a long time. My life had been miserable, except when I was with the Autobots, that even hanging with Mandy wasn't as enjoyable as it could be.

"Hey guys, I was thinking, you know what would be fun?"I asked, grinning mischievously.

"Oh, she has that look! This should be good. What do you think would be fun?"Mandy asked, grinning also.

"A good prank. I have ideas, but some help would be nice."

"Ooo, a prank! Maybe we should wait till we get settled into the new base though."Mickaela admitted.

I nodded.

"That's what I was thinking. Something like a 'Welcome to the New Base' thing."

"Agreed! I'm in. So, what were you thinking?"Mandy asked.

For the next hour we all planned ideas on pranks to pull. We all added our own and added ideas to each others pranks to make them better. We even made a list. Most pranks were just one's we had read on the internet, but some were original.

We were so into it, we didn't notice when the sun started sinking down. I looked at my internal look to see that it was already 7: 30 PM Earth time.

"Shit, guys, the sun is gonna start setting soon! We need to leave before Optimus sends out a swat team. You know how he gets."I said as I jumped up and grabbed my stuff.

The others followed suit and we were out of the mall and on the first bus to Hoover Dam that pulled up before you could say energon.

"Optimus isn't gonna be happy were late."Mandy groaned as she watched the sun sink into the distance.

"Great, I don't need to hear a lecture from boss bot or Sam."Mickaela whined.

"It's kinda our fault for not paying attention to the time. And hey, at least you're not bunking with him. He's gonna lecture me for hours before letting chance some recharge." I sighed, before perking up. "Maybe if I sneak in when we get there and get Sunfire, it won't take forever."

Everyone seemed to perk up on that note, that is, before the bus lurched and stopped altogether. I looked up at the driver confused. He stood up and faced the crowd. He opened the door and the back door opened as a bunch of men swirled onto the bus.

"Alright everyone, cell phones out and hand them over."He pulled out a gun as the others did. "Do as your told and no one will get hurt. We're keeping you hostage."

"Shit."I swore.

Mandy and Mickaela pulled out their phones as I did. My wasn't really a phone, it was just something to keep in contact with Optimus because my internal communication systems weren't set up yet. I wish they were though, that would help a lot.

One of the men came over and took our phones as the driver started up the bus again and drove away from Hoover Dam.

"Optimus is definitely gonna have our heads."I whispered to the girls.

They nodded. The bus drove for an hour. By now I was completely dark outside and I'm sure Optimus knew something wasn't right. Hopefully he would find us soon.

We were driving on the highway when the bus driver turned onto a dirt road. The ride there was about five minutes before he pulled up in front of a giant warehouse.

"Alright, woman first. Any fighting or attempts to escape and you will be shot down immediately, or the nearest person to you will be killed because of what you did. Quickly."The driver said.

I stood up and followed Mandy and Mickaela out of the bus. There was only about five women on the bus, including us. The other two women were friends who looked just as terrified as us. Three men flanked us as they pushed us forward. We entered the warehouse and they blind folded us. Shouts of protest came to my tongue, but I bit them back. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to get attacked since I was different.

Someone grabbed my arm and pushed me forward, leading me to Primus knows where. After a minute of walking I was shoved into a room. I almost fell, but regained myself. Once I heard the door shut behind me, I took the blindfold off. Mickaela, Mandy, and the two women were in here with me.

I walked over to my friends and hugged them.

"Oh God, what the hell is going on?"Mandy asked horrified.

"No clue. But we need to just play along with what's going on. I'd get us out of here if I wasn't afraid for yours and the others lives here."I answered, trying to remain calm.

"God, I hope Optimus comes quick!"Mickaela said.

I nodded. Then I looked over to where the other two girls were. They were huddled together, conversing quietly and looked horrified. I walked in front of my friends.

"Hello. My name is Jenny Miyagi, these are my friends, Mandy Hopkins and Mickaela Banes."I said pointing to them in turn.

One of the girls stepped forward.

"My name is Jessica Smith and this is my friend Autumn Lynn."She said pointing to the girl beside her in turn.

Jessica was a pretty brown haired girl, with bangs cut to the side and hair that went just passed her shoulder. She had chocolate brown eyes that sparkled with intelligence. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt. She was pretty average size with tan skin.

Autumn was definitely the opposite. Kinda like me and Mandy. She had red, curly hair that went past her shoulders. Her eyes were blue and sparkled with mischievous. She was wearing blue washed out jeans and a blue and yellow light jacket. She was about average size too with pale skin.

"It's nice to meet you guys, even though the circumstances aren't the greatest."I said with a kind smile.

"You too."Jessica said.

"What do you thinks gonna happen?"Mandy asked, looking around the enclosed room we were in.

There weren't any windows in here and the door was probably locked. Not that I couldn't easily break it down. I mean, I am Cybertronian, I have the strength of like ten elephants.

"I dunno, I just hope Optimus can find us. I don't want those guys near me. If they find out about, well, everything, that could be bad for us."I said.

Mandy nodded.

"Who's Optimus?"Autumn asked curiously.

"He's my ma- err, my boyfriend. We were supposed to be back by sunset and he's extremely protective. He'll turn the city upside down for me."I explained, hoping the didn't notice my fumble.

If they did, they didn't say anything about it.

"How's he gonna get through all those guys though?"Jessica asked.

"Because, he's not human."I said, knowing I could trust these girls, it was just a feeling. "And neither am I."

They looked confused.

"You look human though."Autumn said, frowning.

I nodded.

"It's a form I use when I go out in public. But I'm really a Cybertronian. You heard about the robots in Mission City a few months back?" They both nodded. "Well, it's all true and I'm one of them."

To prove to them, I opened my chest. They looked in surprise at my internal mechanics and my spark. It was kind of comical.

"You mean, all those rumors were true? They say you guys were trying to kill us!"Jessica said and they both took a step back.

"Look at my eyes."They did. "You see how they are both blue?" Two nods. "That means I'm an autobot. Autobots are the good guys. We're protecting the human race from the red eyed decepticons. We work with the government and everything. I used to be human."

They both just stood there looking shocked.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna try to hurt you. I'm here to protect the humans."I promised.

They both relaxed a little, but I knew they would be cautious. I didn't blame them. Hell, if I didn't know the bots this entire time, I'd be weary too. I just needed to give them time.

But I had a feeling time wasn't one thing we had on our side. I knew we wouldn't get out of here unharmed. I knew people were gonna get hurt or killed. I didn't know how we were gonna get out of this mess. For all I knew, there was decepticons here too! All I knew was that there were innocents in danger and that I was in danger of being found out. Time wasn't something I had.

I had no clue how I was gonna get out of this mess with everyone alive.

(Dun Dun Dun! Yay! Don't you just love stopping in the middle of a bi part! What do you think is gonna happen? Hell, I don't even know what's gonna happen! I make this up as I go! I hope you enjoyed it! Don't forget to R&R! They make me happy!)
