Major thanks to; Mywinx14 and Don't judge me I'm a Fangirl for adding me to their list of Favorite authors! I appreciate it!

IIxTigerLillyxII: I'm glad that you like it! I'm excited to see what you think of this new chapter, and I agree the movies got him wrong, I've watched enough G1 to know. So this story is going to be a hybrid. Movie and G1 twins for all!

Hearts Tempo: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm glad that you loved it!

Don't judge me I'm a Fangirl: The wait is over! I'm glad that you found it awesome! I hope that you like this chapter!

NotCharlotte: I'm glad that you like it thus far! The twins are usually teens in most fictions that I have read so it wasn't a stretch, and the Oc needs to age before they can date and said relationship to make more sense. Not only that, but I watched the new Transformers Rid and the G1 and the movie, and since he has little dialogue in the movies, I chose to mix that with some G1 Sideswipe. Glad that he is in character! Hope you like this chapter!

SunnySides: I'm glad that you like this, and the update schedule is a rotation. This fic is second so it will be posted to at least once if not twice a month, sorry for not having a better schedule. And I hope this is soon enough and that you like this chapter!

DeadlyNightshade97: It isn't all! I have more to post I promise! Here's a new chapter to make my point! I'm glad you found it fabulous and that you want more! I hope you like it!


Running was nothing for Lilac. She had outrun the police several times before, so she had a knack for finding hiding places while she ran. Sure enough about four miles away from the giant talking metallic like beast there was a cave. This cave if followed all the way through would lead to the other side of the mountain. It wouldn't take long at the rate she was running at to reach the other side, but when she got a few hundred feet within the cave, she fell over in exhaustion. Lilac curled into a ball for warmth and fell asleep against a stalagmite that was jutting out of the ground.

Unbeknownst to her, the giant had crawled out of the crater, and slowly followed her to her new residence. Curious thing it was, stared at her worried that it had accidentally killed her. So it sat there for the duration of the night watching her, and trying to think of a plan. (since it was clearly lost) When Lilac began to stir, it grinned and leaned into her personal space, trying to get a better look at her.

Lilac's eyes fluttered open to the sight of a very large metal being peering down at her with a psychotic grin on its face…assuming it had a face. It looked positively weird.

"Hello!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs as she backed into the stalagmite. Giving into her fight or flight instincts she got up and ran behind the nearest rock formation. She didn't have enough energy to keep running, so this is where her brain auto-piloted to. Peeking out she saw the machine…pout?

"Awe. I'm not gonna hurt you squishy! I'm not allowed to anyways."

She kept still, refusing to move since it was blocking her exit, and since she didn't trust giant machines she'd only seen once at night.

"Aw, c'mon! I won't bite! Wait…do you speak my language?"

It asked. It was beeping and chirping the whole conversation thus far. Lilac shook her head silently in the negative. The machine frowned, and its eye's dimmed slightly. "Вы говорите на этом языке?" another shake of the head. "这个?" She disappeared behind the rock completely. A giant machine that can speak Chinese? Not okay or normal. After it struggled through Spanish, it finally settled on speaking English. Lilac peered silently from behind the rock at it, only for said "it" to smile widely baring some sort of teeth at her in response. "So you do speak English!" It shouted, making her shudder and hide behind the rock once more. "Oh no you don't! C'mere!" It called as it roughly picked her up and began to start poking and prodding at her, making her scream in terror. She didn't like heights, and being lifted ten feet up into the air was not on her list of things to do. "There. Now I can get a good look at you. Huh, you're smaller than I thought. Heh, and mushier too. My name is Sideswipe. Do you have a name? Or do you organics go by numeric codes, or maybe by appearances? I- "He was cut off by a soft beeping noise. "Aw slag. Thaaaaaatssssssss noooooooooootttt gooooooooooood" He slurred as his eyes went black and as his head slumped. With a shriek Lilac clutched his hand for her life as it too went limp. All Lilac heard was the soft creaking of metal as she hung from the being's hand. Looking at her watch she saw that it was 6:30. The library would open in half an hour, and that was a long way away from where she was now. It also meant that she had a way of escaping, now that the giant wasn't moving. Looking down she gasped. It was a long way down to the floor of the cave. She did the math. At 4'5'' it was easily a 6-and-a-half-foot jump. Having read "The Daring book for Girls" as well as "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook", she made an educated guess and swung back and forth a few times. "One for the money, two for the show...three to get ready…and…here…we…go!" She said as she swung away from the machine's hand letting go. She tensed for a moment as she dropped, but loosened up right before she landed on the cave floor about two feet away from a stalagmite. She sat there staring at it in horror until she stopped hyperventilating. Shakily, she grabbed her bag and trotted out of the cave into the twilight.

The librarian was surprised that the girl wasn't waiting outside today. Thinking that she had left town he sighed as he opened up the archive for business. He was sorting through the returned books when she walked in, with small traces of fear in her eyes. To his surprise she walked into the technology department and grabbed a few books on robotics, then she detoured through nature and picked up "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook" before she sat down at a computer. He noticed that she had picked that book up a lot from time to time, especially after what he could only guess was "a hard night". For the next four hours she immersed herself in her studies writing down anything that she could.

Lilac was secretly ecstatic. The librarian had told her that his boss was sick, and with most of the students still asleep or in classes she had free range of the facilities. She first researched the being's name. Apparently it was a glancing blow. "Interesting." She mumbled. She then looked up the general programming of A. I's which lead to the general laws of robot-ethics. "He can not hurt me. He really can't because it is a base of his core programing. No loopholes." She said taking a large sigh of relief. Perhaps that is what it was trying to convey earlier. But it still didn't explain the strange language it was speaking, or the crater it came out of. She then began to research giant robots, and she found a few video clips from a couple of months ago. A meteor shower, and several craters were constants in all of the videos. Getting a vaguely ominous feeling she exited out of the websites and logged off the computer quickly. When she spun around she yelped softly when she saw the librarian standing behind her.

"Hey. I um…just wanted you to know there were some military and government dudes in the area yesterday. They might still be hanging around town."

Lilac paled. If the government was poking around, then she needed to leave. Government meant authority, that authority meant that she could either be sent to federal prison for not coming forward with what she knows, or worse, being sent back to where she came from. With a nod she got up and got ready to leave. As she was putting her books away, the librarian stopped her. "Hey, whoa, slow down! Why so panicked? "

"I have to go. Like right now."

"Well, if you must. I guess I'll see you this Friday?"

"No. I'm…I'm not gonna be here. I…I have to go."

She said hastily. As she put the copy of "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook" back on the shelf. The Librarian stopped her again and took the book off the shelf. "Hey. If you like this book so much, take it. We have other copies in the back, and I already wrote this one off."

"A…are you sure?"

"Yeah. And, here, come with me."

He said gently as he pulled her to the back office where some supplies sat on the table. "I know first-hand what you're going through. Here, take this. It'll help you keep warm, and it will give you an alternate for your outfit. "He said giving her a hoodie, a t-shirt and a pair of used jean shorts. "This duct tape can be used for pretty much anything. And this food should go about a week. In case you find another library, these notebooks will be sturdier."

He said as he began to stuff the items into her bag. She was surprised and she tried to stop him but he looked up at her with a sympathetic smile.

"I lost my parents when I was about fourteen. I was on the streets for a year before CYFD got to me. They tried to place me with the worst family, so I ran. A couple months later a couple of guys helped me out. Got me a job working minimum wage as a bus boy at the café on main. And well, the owner helped me apply for a scholarship when I was old enough and here I am."

Lilac sniffled and wiped at her eyes. The kid was right. He knows just where she was coming from. "I. I can't go back. I won't go back."

"I won't make you. But if you ever need help, and you want a summer job, all you have to do is ask."

He said giving her a side hug. "Oh, and before you leave, take this." He said as he handed her a large piping hot pizza. She smiled and hugged him back. "I'll keep that in mind. Maybe when I turn seventeen I'll come back."

"How old are you now?"

He asked as she made her way to the door, silently groaning to herself when she saw that it was raining again. Turning with a microscopic smile, she did the calculations in her head and she answered him. "I'm about thirteen."

The librarian's jaw dropped as he watched the girl dart out into the pouring rain, hoping that she would be okay. Lilac wanted to head to the train depot. She knew that she could get away but for some reason, she found herself taking the familiar trails back to the cave. At one point she tripped landing face first in a large puddle of cold mud. "WHY?!" She screamed at the sky. With a whine she picked herself up and continued to trudge up the hill to the cave, thankful that she had saved her pizza from the mud. Once she got there, she noticed that the robot hadn't moved. She was tempted to leave. If the government was looking for it, then it had to be of some importance. They would surely thoroughly search the woods for it. But at the same time, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to study technology she had never seen before. Maybe this was a sign, maybe she was meant to study this creature, and in return a butt load of good karma would be given to her.

With a sigh of resignation, she wiped her face and made a fire for the night. Grabbing her trusty stick, and gathering a few stones nearby she carefully approached the machine. It really hadn't moved, allowing her to circle it all the way around. She saw an opening on the creature's neck and stopped. After jotting down a few observatory notes, she sucked in a gasp of air and climbed up the creature's back to its neck. She looked at it curiously and poked a wire experimentally. No electricity seemed to come off of it. Thinking it to be safe, she crawled further into the opening and looked around. Thousands of wires greeted her, and most were intact, though there were a few that looked worn out. Seeing a few disconnected and acting on impulsive reflex, she plugged them back in. After another few minutes of looking around, she crawled back out and slid down the machine. Slowly she backed up watching the machine. "HEY! HELLLLLOOOOOOOOO?! GIANT ROBOT?!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. Seeing no movement, she shrugged thinking the thing was broken. Grabbing her notebook and her pizza, she wrote down what she had learned about it, unaware that it was slowly waking up.

She was mid sentence when she thought of something. Surely the robot had a serial number on it. Looking at its feet, she scooted closer and used her stick to scrape the mud off its left foot. Seeing no response and no serial number, she switched to the right one, and was immediately greeted with hearty laughter.

"Heh...hahahahahaha! Hey! Ahahahahahahahaha! Stop that! That tickles!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

She screamed as she literally jumped back four feet and grabbed a large rock.

"Why do you always do that?"

It asked her as it leaned forward only for its nose to be hit firmly by a rock. "OWWWWWWWW! Hey, that hurt!" It whined. But she didn't care, she continued to pelt it with the heavy stones denting it in some areas, until the creature was driven from the cave. She hyperventilated for a while staring out of the cave watching the creature as it tried to hide under a tree for shelter, only for it to grumble when it hit its head on a few of the branches.

A few hours later

Lilac sat near her warm fire guiltily watching the machine. It had tried to find shelter and failed, slipping and falling like she had in the mud a few times. Now it sat pathetically outside her cave, occasionally looking up at the sky whining. She felt bad, because she saw some of herself in the robot. How many times had that been her, stuck outside in the rain with no shelter and no resources? She was conflicted, it could be dangerous, but seeing that the military, nor any government of any form had come to claim it she felt bad.

"Please squishy? Its cold out here, and your atmosphere is leaking all over me, and I promise not to hurt you."

Thinking for only a second more, she got up and walked towards the opening of the cave and waved him in. With a grateful whimper it ripped out a tree and crawled into the cave. "My leader told us through a transmission once that it was customary to bring a…hous-e warming gift. I hope this will warm your domicile." It said as it gently placed the tree down next to her. She rose an eyebrow, and giggled softly. "You mean house warming gift. Thanks…though this isn't technically a house. Nor is it mine."

"Then why do you reside here? Do all organics live like this?"

"No, not all humans live in caves, and I'll only live here for a little while longer."

"Hu-man? Are you a mech of your species?"

"Uhh… what is a mech?"

"I am."

It said proudly puffing out its chest. She raised an eyebrow and thought hard. Did robots have genders?

"Well…I know I'm of the class Homo Sapiens, more specifically the female class. Does that help?"

"Female? OH! You're a femme! Well that explains a lot."

"Really?"

"Yeah. You were attracted to my mechliness and therefore had to reach out and touch me. I don't mind having a femme crawl all over my protoform, but I draw the line at interfacing before the first date."

She reddened deeply. It had felt her the whole time? She felt dirty, for an entirely different reason than her mucky appearance suggested.

"You okay there squishy?"

"I…I…um…sorry isn't even close to what I feel right now."

She whispered as she sunk in on herself.

"Are you damaged? Your pigment has changed. Though the hue is lovely, is it normal for humans to do that?"

"Only when we're embarrassed."

She whimpered.

"My bad. I was only kidding. Our species isn't even compatible for that sort of thing…I don't think we are anyways."

"What kind of robot are you?"

"Hey! I am not a robot!"

It growled at her.

"I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!"

She wailed as she curled into herself and covered her head. The machine raised an eyebrow and poked her gently.

"It's okay…you didn't know. Just for the record, robots are unthinking beings that do what they are told without question. I and my species are sentient, meaning we think freely and make our own choices. Out of curiosity has your species discovered the ability to travel at the speed of light?"

"Uh… not that I'm aware of. Does it exist?"

"Yeah. Has for a while."

"Oh. So…you aren't from this planet are you?"

"Nope! I am from a planet called Cybertron. It's a long ways from here."

"So that would make you…a…Cybertronian?"

"Exactly. I and others like me are here because the tyrannical leader from our planet is trying to take over yours. But last I heard, he was offlined by a human, so I guess we're here to help keep this planet safe from his troops. My leader is based I think…somewhere called Nevada. Is that close by?"

Lilac yelped. Nevada was clear across the country from where she was now.

"No. you landed pretty far from Nevada. We're in Kentucky, which is on the same continent and in the same country, but in the opposite direction."

"Oh." He said deflating. "But...I'm sure it's not too far…are you okay?"

"No. I…you probably wouldn't understand."

"Maybe I might. I won't tell anyone, I promise. And it's not like anyone would believe me anyways. I'm just a kid."

"You are? I thought that younglings were still supposed to- "

"Well, we are but it's complicated. Seriously though. What's wrong?"

"I…have a twin…well that's the literal translation your language has for it. We're brothers…and he…we were supposed to land together."

"What happened?"

"We got separated…some asteroids knocked into us and our comet formation broke. I guess, I'm the only one that landed out here, the rest must have gotten there. It's hard, cause the 'twins' of our species sort of share a bond that allows us to feel each other. I can't feel him at all."

He said mournfully. Lilac frowned heavily as she took a bite of her pizza. "He has a family? Wow, universe. Wow." She thought sadly. "Is that human fuel?"

"You mean food? Yeah…it's called pizza…you…you wanna try some?"

"Is it like energon?"

"What's that?"

"It is pure energy. Our species drinks or eats it depending its form for fuel."

"Is that like gasoline?"

"Yeah, I think so. Before I crashed, I had a brief glimpse of your world wide web and you feed your vehicles gasoline. Is there a place that I can get some of that?"

"Well…yeah, but I don't know how to get you some. I…I don't have a lot of money, but I guess I can get you some. Do you need to drink it or- AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

She screamed as he lifted her off the ground and crawled out of the cave. "You do that a lot." He said as he began to walk quickly towards town.

"I really don't like heights! WAIT! WHAT IF SOMEONE SEES YOU?!"

"Don't worry, I can fix that. And since I can't fix my gps, my com link, or gain access to your world wide web, or feel my twin, you are going to take me to Nevada."

"What?! Bu- "

"Shh! Quiet or you'll scare it away!"

He said as they snuck up to the parking lot full of old cars. He set her down for a moment and stared at a car. "What are you do- "She stopped as she saw a blue light shoot out of his eyes and filter over the car in front of him. Sputtering, she quickly fell to the ground and crawled backwards as Sideswipe's body folded and compacted to match the car in front of him. "The frick! What the frick?! OH MY GOD!" She shrieked as the door popped open and the engine revved in what sounded suspiciously like laughter.

"You gonna get in or what?"

A teenager asked her from behind. With a scream she jumped up and ran towards the trees only for the teen to grab her by her backpack and spin her around. "Relax squishy. It's only me!" The teen said. He was about 6 feet tall, thin yet lean, with silver frosted tips at the end of his jet black hair that was swept away from his dazzling blue eyes.

Lilac's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates as a smirk stretched across his face…his very handsome face. "H…how?" She asked skeptically. "Holoform. I look and feel like a true organic. Wanna feel?" Sideswipe asked wiggling his eyebrows. Lilac couldn't help herself. She balled up her fist and swung, landing a blow directly in his eye.

"OWWWW! HOLY SLAG! WHAT THE PIT FEMME?!"

He yelled. She looked at her hand and at his face. No bruise, no black eye, nothing. "Whoa…that is totally awesome. Did you feel that? Did it hurt? H- "

"YES! Primus! You hit hard!" He whined as he continued to pout and rub his eye, muttering something about a mean left hook. "Sorry" she said sheepishly as he directed her to his passenger seat. She looked skeptically at him and he insisted that she wasn't going to be sitting on anything important, or perverse.

It was only a five-minute drive to the gas station. Once they got there, Lilac instructed Sideswipe to drive up next to the machine and to put the nozzle into his gas tank. After a near failed attempt at telling him that nothing bad would happen, Lilac walked into the gas station mini mart and bought 20 dollars' worth of gas. Once she had her receipt she made her way to the door, only to see a cop glaring at her. She smiled nicely at him as she continued to the door. Once she got out of the store she looked at the police cruiser and winced. It belonged to the next county over, the one where she was wanted for running away. Out of her peripheral vision she saw the cop say something into his radio and winced. "This is so weird. I think this'll last me for a bit." Sideswipe said as he took the nozzle out of his gas port and put it back with a shiver. Lilac paled as she heard sirens in the distance. "HEY! GIRL! STOP!"

Turning Lilac saw the cop coming out of the store. A firm frown on his face. Acting on reflex she began to run. She sprinted as hard as she could, leaving Sideswipe in the dust as she continued to ignore the shouts of the officer that was quickly falling behind in his pursuit of her. The sirens were getting louder as she crossed the college campus and made a bee line for the woods. A car stopped in front of her, a police women got out and called to her. She changed direction and ran around it. Further into the woods.

Sideswipe had peeled out of the gas station not long after his guide had run off with the larger organic chasing her. She looked terrified and he never knew how she was able to run so fast. It seemed like all of the town's enforcers were out looking for her. Some even had small animals similar to petro hounds with them. Quietly he drove into the forest and transformed. Slowly he began to roll forward looking for her. He was about eight miles in when something bounced off his head. Looking up he saw his guide in a tree, eyes wide with fear. "What's wrong? Who are all those other organics?" He asked as he gently removed her from the tree. "If she's hiding in such high places and she doesn't like heights something must be wrong." He thought. "I…I…they…want me…and I…I…don't want…to…go with them." She stuttered, tears brimming. "You won't. You have to get me to Nevada." He said as the sound of people calling out and the baying of the hounds grew louder. "Hold on." He said as he began to roll through the trees with her in his hands. Once he found a road, he quickly put her down to transform and opened his door for her to get in. Throwing her backpack in first, she scrambled into the 71' classic Corvette Stingray as it quickly sped off into the twilight.
