Audrey sighed as they pulled onto her street; Francis had fallen asleep in Jazz's back seat and was now snoring softly. Jazz hadn't said anything since she had gotten in the car, he hadn't even turned on the radio, but then again she wasn't in the mood for music at least not at the moment.
He slowly pulled into her garage and parked and Audrey got out with Francis asleep in her arms; he yipped softly in his sleep and his right foot twitched causing her to chuckle. She walked over to the control panel to the garage door and pressed 'close' and the large metal doors slowly slid down. Turning she then flicked on the light and then walked over to her house door and opened the door and went inside only to come back out a few moments later from putting Francis to bed.
It was nice having the garage attached to the small apartment she rented, it meant she could work right from home and not have to worry about if her house was locked up for the day or if Francis was alright.
She leaned against the door frame and looked out at the silver Pontiac currently parked in her garage; she sighed and then decided to try and break the ice, but knowing that it could very well be impossible.
"So...where do you guys come from...?" she asked him and waited for a reply but got none but decided to continue anyway. "How'd you get scrapped?" she then asked but still received no response; she groaned. "Look buddy, I'm not happy that we're paired up either! But let's at least be able to talk!" she said firmly and gave the bot in disguise a harsh star, but he refused to speak. "Oh real mature!" she shouted at him. This time he grumbled. "Y' know what? I don't have time to sit around and wait for you to start acting your age...what ever that is, but I'm pretty damn sure you aren't getting any younger!" she spat and was about to turn when the bot began to transform. He was lucky that he only stood thirteen feet high and that the garage had tall ceilings because if it were any of the other bots they would have stood through the roof.
"Are you callin' me old!?" Jazz spat at the human female and she smirked.
"I might be...you big hunk of junk!" she said knowing that she struck a cord.
He glared at her and put his battle visor over his eyes and then spun his body around and then flipped around to end up doing a hand stand with only one hand. He hated to admit that his joints were still a bit stiff and sore but he would never give her the pleasure of knowing this. "Could a hunk of junk do this?!" he then questioned her.
Audrey couldn't help but feel impressed by this act but she of course would never admit to this so instead she rolled her eyes and scoffed at him.
"I've seen better!" she lied and she him mutter a cuss at her as he stood back up. "And besides it's time for me to go to bed, oh, and guess what? It's time for you too!" she then said and flicked off the garage light and then quickly stepped inside the house and shut the door behind her before the bot could say anything else.
Sighing she got ready for bed making sure to take a fast shower and brush her teeth she then hopped into a pair of warm pajama's and hopped into bed.

She awoke the next morning around five thirty to the sound of a car alarm going off; a car alarm that sound very much like it was coming from her garage. She sat up in bed, her hair wild and sticking out at odd angles, she could already feel her temper rising.
"I'm gonna kill him...I am going to kill him! I'm going to take him apart bit by bit and then sell his dismantled body over the internet to another country!" she screeched and jumped out of bed and stomped over to the front door that led to the garage and yanked it open. "Jazz! Shut the hell up! Or I will come down there and rip your car alarm from your circuits!" she cried out at him in rage.
He continued for a few more seconds and then finally shut the alarm off.
"Good morning." he sad slowly, she could tell that he would be smirking about now.
Suddenly Francis bolted to the door and started barking like crazy, most likely from Jazz's car alarm.
"Francis shush!" Audrey told the little dog firmly but it was of no use, he continued to bark and she glared at the Autobot sitting rather smug in her garage. "Francis!" she then screeched and the little dog did his best to place his short stubby tail between his legs. "Now in the house." she then said and he slumped back inside. Turning back to the bot she gave him the nastiest look she could muster and then slammed the door and walked back in the house to make her coffee.
Sitting down at the small kitchen table she rested her head in her hands and let out a tired sigh and then looked over to Francis who was sitting at his doggy dish, waiting to be fed. Groaning she stood up and shuffled over to the cabinet that held the dog food bag and scooped out a cup of dog food and then placed it into Francis's stainless steel bowl. Shuffling back over to the coffee pot she poured herself a cup of coffee and sat back down at the table to ponder. Sipping at the warm liquid she thought of ways to do away with the Robot in her garage

Once again Audrey found herself sitting in Jazz's passenger seat on their way to the look out point to check up with Optimus and the others. This time Francis was not with her and she began to worry what her house would look like when she got home. Sighing half out of dread and half out of tiredness she looked out the window to see that the sun had begun to set; she guessed that a group of giant robots would be less likely to spot at night.
Jazz pulled onto the dirt road that led to the outlook and continued to drive on in silence; after the morning scene they hadn't spoken to each other the entire day.
They parked on the soft grass and Audrey stepped out to see that two of the bots were not there this night; Ratchet and Ironhide were no where to be seen. She suddenly noticed that Sam, Mikaela and Miley were playing Frisbee with Bumblebee and she could see that Miley was now a monkey in the middle.
"Sam!!" the brunette cried out as she tried to grab the Frisbee from him only to have him throw it to Mikaela who in turn throw it to Bumblebee who held it between his thumb and forefinger and looked triumphantly down at the annoyed teenaged girl. "Bee!!" she whined and he let out a chuckle and then held the Frisbee just above her reach; even when she jumped for it she would miss. "Bumblebee!!" she shouted and then kicked his foot only to be on the ground a moment later clutching her own foot in pain.
The yellow bot became worried and dropped to his knees to try and help the human he was so affectionate towards. But as soon as he did this Miley jumped up and snatched the Frisbee away from him and ran off with a little bit of a limp.
Audrey rolled her eyes at the childishness of it all but was secretly chuckling to herself. She then heard Jazz begin to transform and she didn't want to wait around for him so she began to walk away and decided to join the group of teens.
"Hey Audrey!" Miley waved as the older female walked over to them slowly.
"Hey..." she said slowly not quiet sure on what to say to the little group.
Sam waved and Mikaela nodded at her and she waved back at them.
"Hey, you want to play some Frisbee with us?" Miley then asked as Bumblebee walked over to the group.
"She knew that this little group would really be the only people she would be able to relate with on the fact of giant robots so she decided it was best to try and make friends with them.
"Sure..." she said and they smiled.
"Okay so it's Bee's turn to be the monkey in the middle!" Sam said and threw the Frisbee to Audrey who looked at him like he was an idiot, after all Bumblebee was close to seventeen feet tall and it would be rather easy for him to catch the small disk.
"Throw it!" Sam called out and instinctively Audrey through it.
The disk went just below the robots knees making it difficult for him to catch it; he missed it and Mikaela made a jump and caught the disk before Bee could turn around and try again.

After around twenty minutes of Frisbee and an hour of talking to Optimus, sometimes trying to convince him to take Jazz away; Audrey found herself back in the silver Pontiac on her way home.
She found herself beginning to wonder if she and Jazz would ever be able to get along or if she would be stuck with him forever. That really wasn't how she wanted to spend her whole life doing. She then looked out to the night sky and then thought about what life would be like now that she was friends with a group of giant robots from outer space.
