Third POV

The plane's wheels touched down on the runway, causing a high-pitch screeching noise to ring out. It bounced a couple of times before finally slowing down to a stop to allow the beings on board to exit.

A small girl with long, light brown hair has fallen under the spell of sleepiness in her guardian's alt. mode and nothing seemed to wake from her slumber. Her guardian is slightly annoyed to have to drive the girl to his berthroom and drop off all the bags she acquired from her trip to the big city of New York City.

The back ramp of the plane leisurely lowered down to ground level for the occupants to leave. Ironhide is the only bot on board but is the last one off as he needs the other soldiers to undo the straps holding him down.

Ironhide carefully rolls down the ramp and is greeted by both sets of twins, all of her friends, and the small ex-Decepticon, Wheelie. Sideswipe is the first to com him and greets him from his long journey from the base. After that, Sideswipe asks if they could hang with Gabriel, which Ironhide declines and leaves to drive the rest of the way to his berthroom. He uses his holoform to take out Gabriel and set her gently down on her makeshift bed that isn't made. Next he takes out all the bags from the back and set them quietly nearby her.

He leaves to do his normal routine of training with the soldiers that are trained to defeat the Decepticons. Though is rather sit in his room and watch over his charge to made sure she doesn't get herself into anymore trouble with anyone else.

A few hours pass and it's that time for night to take over. The sky is filled with the shining of beautiful stars and a moon to light up the sky.

Gabriel's brain has finally made the decision to wake up the rest of her body from her many hour nap. She groggily stretches out her tired limps while making nonhuman noises. She opens her eyes to be greeted by darkness; it took a few seconds for her eyes to adjust to how dark it is in the hanger. Her eyes scan the area around her only to come up empty handed with no being in sight.

At first, she began to panic on there not being a sentient being in the hanger with her. It took her a multiple tries to calm herself so her mind could be free to think about that she is fine.

Since Ironhide isn't in here, she decides to leave her comfortable bed to find him. She takes two of her five blankets with her as the nights in the desert are colder than in the city back at the orphanage.

A small breeze blew through the cold of the night, making it feel almost twice as cold then it was already. If she wasn't careful, she could get a cold from the exposure of the chilly night. She is wrapped tightly in her blankets while wandering her way over to the hanger she believes where her guardian supposedly might be.

The main hanger is dark with no life but with the wind blowing harder, she decides to enter the hand and sleep there for the rest of the night.

Gladly the door to hanger is unlocked and Gabriel stumbles her way through the darkness. She finds a spot at the back of the huge hanger and snuggles into her two blankets on the floor. It takes a few hours before sleep takes her into the land of dreaming.

Next day: Morning

The leader of the Autobots with his short, redhead charge on his shoulder stroll their way into the main hanger. Even though they are supposedly the first ones to arrive at the hanger.

Upon turning on the lights, Charlie is the first to spot Gabriel wrapped up in her blankets. She alerts her guardian and he rushes over to where Charlie pointed but carefully as he didn't want to knockoff his charge.

Optimus sets Charlie down on the ground before transforming into his alt mode and sending out his holoform to assess what the damage is to the petite girl wrapped in her blankets.

Charlie slides next to Gabriel and starts to shake her. Gabriel groans and pushes against Charlie to make her stop her assault on her.

"Oh my gosh! You're alright! I thought something had happened to you!" Charlie gasped and globbed the sleepy girl into a bear hug. Gabriel, still half asleep, nudges the over-excited redhead girl away from her with no such luck and is pressed more tightly against her considered sister.

"Staph! Leave me alone," Gabriel grumbled and attempted to remove herself from the grip around her.

"Fine." She let's go and leans back with her brows furrowed and lips pushed forward into a pout. Gabriel rolls her eyes at Charlie; she stretches out all her limbs out and groggily sits up from her spot on the floor. Optimus gazes down at the thought to be injured girl before speaking up.

"Gabriel, Ironhide is on his way to pick you up," Optimus announces. Gabriel peers up to the tall iron giant and groaned. It wasn't that she didn't want to hang with her guardian, she rather sleep for the rest of day.

It took a few minutes for Ironhide to arrive at the hanger to pick up his charge. Gabriel has fully woken up from her deep sleep and was ready to leave.

Ironhide opens his alt. mode door to allow his charge to hop inside and leaves the vicinity to wander around the base.

It didn't take longer than a few minutes for Gabriel to crawl into the back of his alt. mode and fall asleep in no time.

Later that day, the two are to be found in the rec. room, playing Grand Theft Auto 5. Gabriel is cussing at the weapon specialist as he is destroying her and killing her multiple times.

Sorry this is a little later than usual, my mind totally forgot to do this right of the bat.

Let the wolf howl!
