(Jacks POV)

I sighed as I looked out the window of the drive through. Vince was a jerk. Again taking his food without paying for it! This job sucked, I would very much rather be with Flame trying to find some odd object than to be here. Unfortunately, Flame had disappeared several years ago. So I was stuck here with this lousy job. To get off such a depressing note, the bell just rang! I can leave! Walking out I stopped when I caught a glimpse ofthe most beautiful bike I'd ever seen. I walked over and sat on the seat, murmuring to myself that it was the prettiest two-wheeler in Jasper. My thoughts wereinterrupted by Sierra, someone from my homeroom in school,as well asa girl I'd had a crush on for a rather long time. Her friend stood next to her with a look of 'why are we stopping to talk to THIS loser'.

"Are you TALKINGto your motorcycle?" She sounded incredulous and a little disgusted.

"MY motorcycle?" I stuttered. "Of course it is my motorcycle! I wasn't talking to it! I was talking to.. uh.. to you of course! Sohow's things, Sierra?"

"YOU know my name?" Primus, was it possible for her to not sound quite so incredulous all the time?

"Yeah..er...we have homeroom together." I said.

The rest of our FANTASTIC conversation was interrupted by a loud roaring of two engines. The girls screamed and ran away. The bike I was on suddenly reared up, spun around, and drove straight toward the VERY menacing cars that blocked the way the motorcycle, of which I was becoming more and more certain that it was a spawn of Satan come to kill me for no reason whatsoever, came up on it's back wheel as it slipped into the space between the cars without an inch to spare.I felt the wind as we raced away, trying to escape the crazy cars.

"Who are those guys, and why are they shooting at us?" I finally cried out as I ducked yet another shot. I certainly didn't expect an answer.

"There's no USkid, and they're no GUYS." The motorcycle growled.

"WHO SAID THAT!?" Well it was certainly a day for surprises. Speaking of which...

'I shouldn't have thoughtthat.' I thought as we suddenly hurtled off the edge of the freeway and into the sewer drainage below. Thankfully, it wasn't full of sewer water at this time of year. We landed next to a kid that was playing with his remote control car.

He dropped his remote. "Wow."

"You have no idea." I groaned.

Then the motorcycle transformed. This must be a Cybertronian like Flame told me about! I must act surprised, and not like I've seen one before. Then the twocars from before joined our little group and transformed, still firing away.They started fighting, which I'm going to guess is normal seeing the way they did it so routinely. Then things started to speed up. A black and yellow robot came, and while he was fighting, he stepped on the younger boys car and beepedsomething. Then the bad robot tries to kill the other. Raf, the younger boy,tries to stop him and almost gets us killed. Then we ended up having to escape down one of the drain pipes. When I finally got home I sighed and fell asleep in the soft comfort of my bed.

(Next day)

I groaned and stretched sitting up so I could begin to get ready for school. Slowly, I walked into the kitchen and hugged my mother good morning. Since itwas early I was able to eat my food without choking it down.

"Morning, Jack." June said. "Have you checked your phone yet?"

"NO!" I cried out. "I completely forgot!"

Forgetting my food I raced to my roomand grabbed my phone flipping it open while I walked back to the kitchen. June looked at me expectantly. I glanced at the notifications and my shoulders slumped. Nothing. Again. It had become my ritual to check my phone every time I went to sleep and every morning since Flame disappeared. I looked at June and shook my head sadly. She sighed and went back to cleaning.

(Time skip)

I walked out of school and saw Raf.

"Hey, about yesterday..." I started.

"I know. We can't tell anyone." Raf said. "Uh oh."

I looked behind me and there was the same muscle car from yesterday behind me. Raf walked over and it opened it's door.

"He wants me to get in." Raf said.

"Where does he us to go?" I asked.

"Not you, just me. Yours is over there." He pointed and I turned around to see the motorcycle. I turned back to see him getting into the Camaro. I refused to get on the bike and began walking home. The motorcycle followed me. I watched it pull up beside me.

"Get on."

"No, go have fun with your new friend."

It's hologram disappears as it nudges me into an alley. We had a talk and got found out by another girl from school. Then we joined the Camaro and drove through the desert. Going into a mountain that was probably the base, we met their leader and got guardians. I almost said that I already had a guardian, then decided against it. They would say I needed a Cybertronian guardian and I would say she was a Cybertronian. It would lead to a lot of awkward questions that I didn't want to answer. So I was stuck with Arcee. When it was time to go she took me home. I walked in after an explanation to my mom and fell asleep.

(Next day)

I woke up and stretched, yawning. I moved into the kitchen, glad that it was the weekend. Then my phone rang. It was Arcee.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"There is a stranger coming up the driveway." She said quickly.

"Can you describe them?"

"Long black hair, sharpjawline, bright blue eyes, and a wariors stride." She listed.

I gasped, 'Was it possible? After all this time?'

I raced over to the door and ripped it open. Then I was greeted by the sight I had waitedto see.

Blue eyes smiled when they met mine. "Hello, Jack."
