"Smell all that fresh air." Jen exclaimed, throwing her arms up into the air.

"We couldn't agree more, this is beyond my imagination on how everything would look from this scale of ours," Hound replied.

"Magnificent," Perceptor didn't say much because he was busy examining a flower.

"Oh, it's not too bad, except for these STUPID INSECTS THAT WON'T QUIT SWARMING ON ME!" Brawn yelled irritatingly while trying to swat the gnats away.

Jen smiled. "Oh, quit your whining Brawn. You'll get used to it."

"Pfft, right. Like that'll happen anytime soon."

Hound, Perceptor and Brawn were the only ones who could come with Jen on her hike. Everyone else was still recovering from the fiasco from yesterday. Hey, any company is better than none at all. Thankfully, it wasn't Huffer or Gears who recovered first, they'd do nothing but complain the whole trip.

"What else is expected on this trip?" Perceptor couldn't wait to see more around him.

"Hmm, I suppose we can go to the swamp, watch the wildlife, and go to a waterfall."

"That sounds wonderful."

"Yeah, let's do that."

"Ah, alright. That sounds ok to me."

With that said, the four friends trudge off, not knowing of a small red and white being not too far behind.

Red Alert wasn't so sure about this, but as Security Director, he must make sure everyone out of his sight was safe.

"Ow, my head. Please say it's nothing more than a little glitch, nothing that Ratchet can't fix." But deep down, he knew it was from the day before of looking over so much information. "I hope I made the right choice."

"Ugh, what is this gunk?" Brawn complained while trying to wipe off some green alga.

"That, Brawn, is known as alga. A life form . . ."

"I know Perceptor, I know. It lives on top of water."

Hound looked around, wondering where their caretaker went. At the sudden sound of splash, he turned to see Jen coming out of the dirty water, soaked, covered in alga, mud, and seaweed while holding an eel in her mouth and several more in her hands. Tossing her head up, the eel flew up and went down her waiting mouth with a loud gulp. "Best to have the rest of these as sushi"

"That," Jen turned to see Brawn with a look of disgust on his faceplates, "was disgusting."

Perceptor trotted to her leg and tugged at her jeans. "Jen, before you turn the eels into this 'sushi', may I examine one please?"

Jen nodded, packing the eels into her backpack, along with the other animals she collected.

Red Alert shuddered. 'How can she stand that? That looked so gross.'

"What the . . . EEAGH!" The red and white police car gave out a yell as he was pulled into the murky water by an eel.

Later on, after watching a flock of turkeys, Jen, Brawn, Hound and Perceptor finally reached the waterfalls.

Jen placed Perceptor near the edge where he could get a good look. Turning around, she saw Brawn carrying a troubled look. "What's wrong Brawn?"

"I still can't get it out of my head, of how that sounded so familiar."

Jen pondered. 'Does he mean that noise we heard after watching the turkeys?'

Red Alert groaned. 'This day can't get any worse.' He was wrong.

He's been recently chased by a huge flock of turkeys, each wanting to take a peck at him. However, a few did. Right on his horns. And now a red fox was creeping up from behind.

Jen, Brawn, Perceptor and Hound jumped at the sound of something thrashing in the bushes. Recognizing a small yell she heard, Jen leaped towards the bushes and dragged the red fox out into the open. She smacked the fox's head hard enough to force it to drop Red Alert. It scampered back into the woods, whimpering.

The other three Autobots were not surprised. Brawn stepped forward. "Did you follow us just to install cameras?"

"Lay off Red, Brawn!" Jen hissed before turning to Red Alert. "Are you all right, little one?"

Red Alert looked up and nodded, "I am now, thanks to you."

Picking the little police car up, along with Brawn, Hound and Perceptor, the five friends went back home.
