Lori looked at her two guests who were now safely within her home. She was in disbelief by who the claimed to be.
The female human with similar long, black hair to her own repeated her message, "I swear Lori, it's me Override."
The male human with blonde hair cursed loudly, "What is this form! It displeases me greatly!"
"How?" Lori said dumbfounded.
"I don't know, Lori. You've gotta help us. Scourge and I were coming here to check up on some rumored Decepticon activity and after we exited the Space Bridge, I woke up here. Lori, I swear."
Lori wished the teenage girl in front of her would stop claiming to be the giant robot who called her "sister". She also wished the somewhat handsome young man at the same table would stop shouting like a psychopath.
The girl realized she was getting nowhere with her plea for help from her friend. She sighed, "Lori… I'm as scared as you are. Please… I'm not crazy, it's me Override. You've gotta help me."
"And I as well!" The other stranger shouted, "This 'skin' as you call it human, is very alien to me! How does one fight when they are covered in their own soft underbelly?" He snarled and slammed his fist into the table.
"Shut up Scourge, you aren't helping!" The girl shouted at her partner.
"Do not pick a fight with me Velocitronian," The blonde shouted as he stood from his chair, "I do not have to remind you how well you fared last time!"
"Yeah, it was unfinished and Lori nearly got hurt!" The tall brunette shouted as she stood from her chair as well.
"QUIET!" Lori shouted, "You guys are always like this! Can't you just be quiet for two seconds and let me think!"
"Then you believe us?" Override asked excitedly.
The shorter girl thought about what she just said for a minute, "I guess so…" Startled by her own subconscious detective-work, the girl sat down and sighed, "But what are we going to do?"
Two figures appeared at the stairway. One was a plump, blonde woman and the other was a scrawny man with black hair and glasses.
Lori's mother looked pleasantly surprised. "Guests…" She said and smiled.
"Who is this?" Her father inquired.
"Um…" Lori thought to herself as she looked up at her parents on the stairs. She held out a hand to motion towards the girl, "You remember Override don't you?"
"So it's settled…" Lori said triumphantly, "The currently troubled Override and Scourge will pose as my older brother and sister who have been working overseas. That is, until we can find a way to contact Crosswise or any other Autobots who can help us… We also have to find out who did this to you and why…"
"And get our bodies back…" Override added.
"And punish those who took them!" Scourge shouted in addition.
Lori's mother looked at the ceiling idly. "Is there something wrong mom?" Lori said.
"It won't be a very good disguise for them to pose as our children… everyone knows I'd never name a child 'Override' or 'Scourge'…" The woman said somewhat thoughtfully.
"Honey…" The man posing as the father of two ex-giant robots said, "We can just call them something else…"
"Oh, how lovely… How about… 'Olivia' and 'Scott'?" The plump woman asked pleasantly.
Scourge shouted angrily, "Those names are disgraceful! We are Transformers, not human larva! I will not be called 'Olivia, do you understand?"
Override snickered and soon the whole room was engulfed in laughter from the happy new family minus one.
"Why do you laugh? I will not be made a mockery of in this manner! Fear me darn you! Do not make me show you the fierce ways of the Jungle Planet!" The newly named "Scott" shouted.
To be continued.
