And here's chapter 3, I hope you enjoy this people :3, will be introducing the other bots in this even if Amber doesn't meet them for a bit, I said I would do this last chapter but there you go.
So many response, you guys are awesome!
Anyway, I shall stop talking and allow you to read the story.
The bus journey was quiet, there were a few people on the bus, but they sat far from the front. Amber looked out the window as the scenery zoomed by her, green eyes looking out the window with a distance look in them, she sat there allowing what she seen this morning to sink in and what she heard, but her theory was right. Mission City wasn't a terrorist attack and the Government were covering up. She closed her eyes and then reopened them.
-Kitten?-
'Yeah?'
-Ya alright? Ya spaced out there for second.-
'I'm fine, sorry.'
The two fell silent as Amber shifted in her seat, the town she wanted to go was the last stop and she was willing to sit and get to that location, it wasn't a big town at all, a small town, she had been there before and knew a couple of people who would probably let her stay there for the night.
She blinked as a sudden thought hit her.
'Hey Jazz.'
-Yo.-
'...If we do come across the other Autobots...How do we explain I got you in my body?'
-...Good question...-
She sighed. 'I'll think of something.'
-Depends who we come across first.-
'I guess...'
"How are the repairs?"
Ratchet paused in repairing Jazz's body and turned to face Optimus Prime as the red and blue mech entered the med bay.
"Going good so far." The medic grunted. "Not easy, but I'm getting there."
"Any information?"
"His spark is there but empty, but I believe he's not dead."
"Are you suggesting he may of entered some kind of machinery to stay alive?"
"That is exactly what I'm saying."
"We will need to locate his host soon if we have a chance of reviving him."
"Easier said than done." The medic grumbled. "He could be anywhere."
"Have faith old friend, I am sure Jazz will appear when he is ready." Optimus assured his medic.
"Hope so, but the repairs will take a bit of time, it won't be easy at all."
"Do not strain yourself."
"Frag, if only I had First Aid."
The red and blue mech smiled as the medic continued to grumble.
-Amber, wake up kitten.-
Amber blinked as someone was shaking her. She looked to see it was the bus driver with a smile on his lips.
"Come on kid, the last stop."
She became alert and blushed immediately apologizing. He laughed and patted her on the head. Amber grabbed her bag and got off the bus. She sighed as the door closed and the bus drove off.
'Alright, we'll stay with a family friend for the night and move on tomorrow.'
-Sure thing kitten.-
She nodded and then walked forward, shifting the bag on her shoulder as she yawned and then stretched, she walked forward and watched as people waved, she shyly waved back and carried on walking. Amber kept on going until she reached a store that were selling car parts. She entered through the door.
"Good af- ahhh! Amber!"
She smiled and spotted a middle aged man as he approached the brunette.
"Hey Frank." She greeted.
"How are you girly? It's been a while."
"I know, do you think I can stay for the night?"
"For you, anything! Follow me kid."
She followed the man as the two headed to the back door.
"Wait, how did you get here?" He asked.
"Bus...I did my threat of running away."
"Be careful out there kid, the world can be a cruel place."
-Don't we know it.- Jazz muttered.
'Agreed.'
They walked up the stairs and he opened a door that brought her into a room with a counter dividing the kitchen and the living room. Amber placed her bag out of the way so nobody would trip over the bag. She looked around and took her converse shoes off her feet.
"Get comfortable Amber, I will be closing in an hour and then we'll go to the diner down the road for food, my treat."
She looked at Frank. "You don't have to."
"I insist, you'll need the energy if you're leaving tomorrow, and it looks like you haven't had a proper meal for days."
'That's true.' She thought as he gave a wave and left to go downstairs.
-Primus kitten, what did dey leave fer fuel.-
'Not much, I've been living on PopTarts and cereal.'
-Dat's not healthy squirt, Hatchet would blow a fuse if he learned what ya ate.-
'Is he a health freak?'
-Yup.-
'Wonderful.' She sighed.
Amber sat on the sofa nearby and stared at the TV in front of her as she grabbed the remote and turned the TV on, she noticed it was a talk show about Mission City, she wanted to see how Jazz reacted.
-Primus, dey still on bout Mission City.-
'Yup, the government claimed it was a Terrorist attack.'
-Well...I can understand why, I think humans would of freaked if dey discovered it was really us dat caused tha destruction.-
'Mmmhmm.'
Amber leaned back into the chair and then a thought hit her. She got up from the chair and went to open the bag and then the waterproof part. Nova transformed and hopped out the bag. Chirping.
-Is dat a good idea kitten?-
'We couldn't leave her in here all day.' Amber picked up the black and green sparkling. 'And besides, if Frank did see her, I'll just beg him to keep it a secret.'
-You sure do trust this guy.-
'Well...I have known him since I was a kid, and when my parents were out for hours at a time with my siblings he would come over and bring me here, he's Dad's friend.'
-Wait...Dey would leave you even as a youngling?-
'...Yes.'
-Amber, dat's child neglect, I can assure you a Cybertronian would never leave their sparkling alone for hours, dey would ask someone else to take care of their lil one.-
'Wow, sounds like your kind look after their young ones, even better than some humans.'
-Sad isn't it?-
'Yeah.'
Nova squirmed in Ambers arms to get comfortable on the sofa, the small sparkling looking at the TV as Amber yawned softly, holding onto the little bot like a mother would with her child, the thought made her heart ache, her mother really isn't a mother, she never gave the love to the brunette, the attention, nothing, completely ignored. Amber bit back the sigh that wanted to escape.
"When I'm gone, you behave and don't reveal yourself to anyone, remain in your disguise until I come back and until you're out of Frank's sights." She told the sparkling.
She was met with blue optics and had an affirmed chirp as a response, the little sparkling was happy to listen to her mama, even if her mama was human.
-Ah, how cute, Nova sees ya as a mama.-
'R-Really!? Well I can assure you, I will not make the mistake my own mother did, I'll be a mother, better than my own.'
-You'll make a great mama kitten.-
'You think so?'
-I know so, I can feel it.-
She said nothing and went back to watching TV.
The credits of a movie were rolling when footsteps were heard. Nova immediately transformed. The door opened revealing Frank.
"Where did you get that from?" Amber heard him ask.
"Oh, um...I found it by the bus stop." She lied.
He glanced into her bag. "I don't see any consoles."
"I'll buy some when I get a chance."
"Hmm...Fair enough."
Amber held her breath as Frank walked into another room, she breathed out when he disappeared from view.
'God I hate lying to him.'
-Ya had ta do it kitten.-
'Yeah...I guess...'
-Anyways, eat good kitten, I doubt you will have much to eat tomorrow.-
'Probably not.'
She shifted into a more comfortable position as she continued to watch the TV with Nova on her lap. A sigh escaped her lips as she shifted the sparkling on her lap into a comfortable position. Nova squirmed a bit but settled down eventually.
She heard a door open when Frank appeared into her view.
"Alright kiddo, the shop is closed for the day, lets go and get you some food."
Amber nodded and settled Nova onto the chair she was sitting on and placed her shoes on her feet as she followed him.
'Hope Nova will be alright.'
-She'll be fine kitten, we're not gone for long.-
Amber assured herself that the black and green sparkling will be alright without her for at least an hour or maybe less, depends how long the food would take and how long she would take to eat her meal.
Once they reached the popular diner down the road not far from the shop, they were taken to their seats. Amber scanned the menu to see what would get her attention.
"You can order anything you want kid, my treat." Frank told her.
Amber frowned. "You don't have to."
"I insist, you need the food, since your parents won't take care of you, then I will."
"..."
-He's right kitten, ya need tha food.- Jazz told her.
'I guess...'
The two ordered what they wanted and were waiting for their food. Amber took a sip of her drink.
"Did you hear?"
She looked at him. "About what?"
"Apparently someone said something crashed last night and a crater was found this morning and this silver Lamborghini suddenly appeared out of nowhere, a couple of men said it drove without a driver, but I think they were drunk."
"Really?"
She felt Jazz perk up. 'What's wrong?' She asked.
-Dat sounds like Sideswipe.-
'Sideswipe?'
-No worries kitten, he's a Autobot.-
'Should we look tomorrow?'
-Yup, if we can find im, we can travel to Tranquility and ya can save money.-
'Alright...We'll do that.'
"Where did you see the Lamborghini last?" Amber asked.
"I heard it's in that abandoned warehouse, just sitting there."
"Alright..."
"Don't tell me you're going to investigate."
"Mmmhmm, before people wake up the next day."
"...I'll wake you up in the morning."
Amber smiled and then nodded as their food arrived.
"I wonder how long it will take for your parents to notice you're gone?" Frank suddenly asked.
Amber snorted. "Probably a month, by the time I would of settled down with a family who would rent a room."
-Or with tha Autobots.-
'...That works too.'
She took a bite of her meal as she held back the groan as her mouth exploded with flavour, she swallowed her food.
-I can't wait to have sweet, sweet high grade.-
'High grade?'
-...Ya will see kitten.-
'Oh, ok.'
Amber continued to eat her meal as people around her chattered to each other with waitress' serving food to hungry customers.
It was late when the two returned to the apartment. Amber yawned and was the first through the door as Frank checked to see if he locked the doors. She picked Nova up and walked to the guest room and placed the sparkling onto the bed, switching the lamp on and closing the curtains.
-Right kitten, get sleep, cuz we're gonna find dat vehicle.-
'And what should I say? 'Oh hey there Sideswipe, you don't know me but I know you', that will sound creepy.'
-...I'll think of something.-
'Right...'
Amber changed into pyjamas and then climbed into the bed as a yawn escaped her lips.
"See you in the morning kid."
She looked to Frank and then smiled. "Yeah."
"I normally check the shop at 6 so I'll wake you up then."
She nodded as he closed the door. A sigh escaped her lips as she then stretched. The brunette ran her fingers through her fringe as she looked at the curtains that were covering the window.
-Right...As soon as we find Sides and convince him, we'll head off as soon as we can.-
'Alright, I don't know how it will work out in the end.'
-Trust me kitten, Autobots never harm humans.-
'Glad to know that.'
Amber went to lay down as she stared at the ceiling after switching the lamp off next to her. She patted the Xbox next to her and then drifted off to a sleep.
And done, ;_; I'm so sorry for the delay, I had writers block.
And don't worry, Sideswipe is in the next chapter I can assure you that.
Well anyway, Leave a review before you go off and read something else...If you want to, I'm not forcing you to.
Until next chapter.
Bye!
