Sunshine gleams down on my face, waking me up from my slumber. It's bright and hard to keep my eyes open. A blanket is draped over me, making it warm for me since its summer here.
My surroundings consist of grey walls and the bed I'm laying on. No one was in here, no one is in here. I'm alone. There are no human beings around.
Something started to happen. My breathing begins to get deeper and deeper, taking more than need. Dizziness wavered through my head and my vision disfigured, as if I was looking through a fish-eye lens. The only thought on my mind was I need a least a human nearby or in my sights.
Getting off the bed with unsteadiness, I wobble over to the door and attempt to place my hand on the doorknob. It took a few times before I could be able land my hand on it.
The hall is empty with no human beings in sight and that makes my heart clench. Continuing my way through the hall, thinking this might be the way out; the hall turns to a human size door. This time I was having better luck of opening this door.
More sun glistens down me, it didn't matter though. The only thing in my sights is a big red and blue flamed semi parked ten feet away from the door. Two humans jump out of the semi and rushed over to me, one I recognized as Charlie.
"Gabby? Look at me. Look at me. See I'm here," Charlie soothed. She knew what the reason is for my panic attack. The other human held onto my hand and rubbed his thumb over my knuckles. My breathing begins to slow down to a normal pace, the dizziness left, and my vision went back to normal.
"See you're fine," Charlie praised. She helped me off the ground, I hadn't realized that I was on the ground, and led me to the semi.
She helps me get situated inside of the truck and she gets herself sat down. The other human, an older gentleman by the looks of it, sits down in the driver seat and starts up the semi. It rumbles to life and he drives off to somewhere.
He pulls up to a large hanger meant to hold the large bots around us. The only bots in here are Prowl with Ruby, the Lambo twins, and Ironhide.
Charlie leads me out of the semi and over to my guardian. The sounds of transformation came from behind me. Getting a quick glance, the semi is the one transforming into Optimus. Wait! What about that other human inside of his cab. There was no sight of him anywhere.
"Where did the other human go?" I inquired. Charlie looks at me with a weird expression before she realized what I meant.
"That wasn't a human that was a holoform. The bots use them to blend into the human population," Charlie explained. A holoform?
She continues to pull me over to Ironhide and pushes me towards him. He gives me scowl and huffed, acting as if he doesn't want to deal with me. Sorry tin can you're stuck with me. Gladly he doesn't say silent but I wish he did.
"You're grounded and have clean up duty in the cafeteria for a week," Ironhide spoke up. My mouth held agape in surprise. Yes, I do earn that but for an entire week, what in the holle? His scowl turns into a smirk. He scopes me up, off the floor, and whisks me off to the cafeteria, probably.
Ironhide sets me down roughly on the ground and pushes me towards a hanger with a human sized door. Mumbling curse words under my breath, I stomp my feet like a five year old over to the door. It was still morning time and breakfast is still being served.
Kevin and an African American man sat next to him. The man wore blue sunglasses covering his eyes, his skin a deep beautiful brown, and dread locks held up by a head band.
The lines aren't that long and it took about three minutes to get my own plate. Making my way over to the two, I sat down next to Kevin.
"Hey Gabby! Good to see you up." Kevin hugs me before going back to eating the food on his plate. The man gave me warm-hearted smile which I returned. Following Kevin, I dig into my food. Compared to the usual food at the orphanage, this is amazing. Unless Ash was cooking, no one could beat that kid in a cooking battle.
Finishing up my food, I take both of our plates to the garbage and picked up the other trash around it. My hate seethed towards the bot making me be the cleaning lady. By being here, away from Ms. Reno, I thought this life will be better. Yet, most of these people/bots act like pieces of scheisse.
Everyone finally leaves, even my friend and his follower, and I'm left to pick up after them. The place isn't that bad in dirtiness and takes about thirty minutes to finish.
While walking over to where the barracks I'm staying, the Chevy twins approached me.
"Hey Gabby, we wanted ta ask if yo' wanted ta pull a prank on Ironaft," Skidz questions (I'm so sorry; I don't know how to do a real gangster accent). A smirk appears on my face and I nodded my head hastily.
The two transformed into their car form, really need to figure out what that is called, and Mudflap opens his door. Jumping into the passenger side, they both take off speedily towards a hanger.
Mudflap sets me down on his shoulder and treks over to a table their size. Two large tablets sat on the table; the both of them grabbed one each. From my spot on Mudflap's shoulder, I watch him create a diagram to prank Ironaft.
"So what do yo' think?" Mudflap questions. The plan consists of a trigger to dump cow crap on my guardian while we watch from a safe running distance. This is a perfect plane to get back at the piece of scheisse.
"Looks amazing," I praised. The two smile at me before we start to set up the prank.
We place the oversized buckets of sloppy cow crap, don't ask me how the two got, over the hanger that Ironhide stays at. Not knowing how to deal with wires, I let the experts work on that for the time being. Though they made me set up the bucket since they're too short to do that.
They are lucky that I'm not the one scared of heights while doing this. Hopefully for the rest of the day the stink doesn't stick to me.
Everything is set and ready for it to spring. We rushed over to our hiding spot and camped there, waiting for Ironhide to spring the trap.
Ironhide finally arrived a couple hours later, looking as grumpy as ever. Big mistake on choosing him as my guardian, he isn't fun or doesn't want to have fun.
We had to hold in our giggles so we didn't announce ourselves to the bot.
When Ironhide trudged up to the control panel and punched in his code. Instead of the door opening, the buckets slopped down on him. I don't know how he didn't see the buckets on the roof but it was a good thing.
He roars out in anger causing my giggles to last longer and louder. All three of us are laughing and giggling on the floor like two year olds.
YOU!" His is voice deep and ready to kill. It causes me to stop with my eyes widen in fear. He charges towards us in full speed. The Chevy twins scrambled to transform around me, almost making me puke, and speed away from the enraged bot.
After a few minutes of us speeding away and dodging Ironhide, we lose him throughout the weaving in and out of the hangers. The two think it's a great idea to go and hide in the Rec. room. It's a semi smart idea; he'll suspect us to be far from the base by now.
Aswe get situated, we burst out in a fit of laughter, thinking over what had happened. The memory played over and over in my mind and it took a lot of strength to calm myself down. The other two laughed longer than I did.
Many times during our hiding, we heard the rumble of Ironhide's engine pass by. Sometimes he would stop around here and shut off his engine to wait. This strange feeling in the pit of my stomach told me he knew were here but continued to mess with us, acting as he didn't know we were here.
The door to the Rec. room opened and a semi-large bot's shadow appeared on the floor. It didn't hold the shape of Ironhide allowing me to release the tension in my muscles.
"Come on you three. Before Ironhide makes another round," Prowls voice rang throughout the hanger. We all glance at each other before slowly making our way from behind the chairs. He stood at the entrance with his arms crossed over his chest. Ruby stood next to him in the same position as her guardian. She held glare appointed at me, not caring that the other two were with me.
We shuffle our way over to the two.
"Come on Prowla. We just wanted ta have some fun," Mudflap complains. Prowl rolls his eyes at Mudflap and grabs the two by the arm. Ruby makes her way over to me and grabs my ear, not being gentle to my ear.
On the way to the brig, we pranksters complained the entire time. I'm surprised my ear hasn't fallen off by now from all the pulling.
Prowl literally throws the Chevy twins into a cell while Ruby pushes past the bars.
Ruby points to the bars, "Don't touch." Nodding my head looking stupid, she face palms herself. Prowl activates the bars and leaves with Ruby.
"Whelp that didn't go as planned," I commented. The two gazed over to me and nodded in agreement.
I'm so sorry about Mudflap and Skidz accent. I tried my best and hopefully that'll surpass your guys expectations. Gabe is making the Autobots job harder than it already is. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! (More big girl words!)
