A/N: Here it Chapter 4 of Firework ! :] Another shout out to GreenpplOMG who reviewed the previous chapter, thanks for the review. I pour reviews on my pancakes and eat them for breakfast C: So to my other dear readers,,,feed me (lol) X3 And the reason this chapter is called "Every Star, Every Planet" is because I couldn't get that song out of my head as I was writing this. It`s from the Doctor Who soundtrack.
==============================================================================================
"Easy now. Easy!"
Abby felt herself being strapped onto something. She let out a groan of pain. "I said easy! You don't wanna injure her more than she already is!" she heard a voice say. She felt like she was moving around or floating or something and she was slipping in and out of consciousness.
The next time she opened her eyes all she saw was white. "Shit. I'm dead?" she groaned. She heard a chuckle and whipped her head to the side and then immediately regretted it.
"Ow...damn whiplash" she hissed. She felt a cold hand clamp down on her shoulder and she immediately went rigid. "Relax, you're at Mercy Hospital. You're not dead, although you might have been if that young man hadn't pulled you out from a pile of wreckage" he said.
Penny froze up. 'Young man? Did that mean Leo saved her? Did he-' "I can tell by the look on your face that you know who he is" he laughed. "Well you were out for a while but you should be fine now. You had a nasty cut on your forehead but we've bandaged that already. You also have a fractured wrist and a cracked rib. We fixed the rib and the cast we put on your wrist will have to stay there for quite a while" he told her.
Penny lifted both her arms up and cursed. Of course she just had to go and injure her writing hand. "Dammit, now how am I supposed to learn?" she growled. Dr. Jones laughed and patted her shoulder.
He told her that they would have to keep her in the hospital for the night. Before he left he told her that if she needed anything all she needed to do was press the button on the left side of the bed and help would come.
Penny sat in her bed for a long time, just thinking to herself. How had she gotten herself into this mess? All she had wanted to do was go to college, meet someone, graduate, get a great job, get married, have a few kids and then live a happy and peaceful life for the rest of her days. Was that so much to ask?
She sighed and felt around for the TV remote. She had gotten tired of the silence in the room, she hated silence. Penny sighed and adjusted her pillows so that she could sit up and watch TV. She winced a little as she accidentally put some pressure on her injured wrist.
Once the pain subsided she got comfy in her bed and started flipping channels. As she flipped through them something caught her eye. She flipped back a few channels and squealed as she saw the opening titles of Doctor Who appear on the screen.
She leaned forward in her seat and watched as The 10th Doctor fought off a Pyroville with a water pistol. Just as he and Donna were escaping through the underground tunnel the picture started to go fuzzy.
Penny furrowed her eyebrows and started pressing random buttons on the remote. The image of The Doctor and Donna Noble flickered on the TV before it was replaced with an image of some rusty Robot-Pharaoh type thing.
"Did I accidentally change the channel or something?" she asked herself. Suddenly the face spoke. It's voice was cold and raspy, it made her cringe. "Citizens of the human hive, your leaders have withheld the truth from you" It hissed.
Penny grabbed the remote and tried to change the channel only to see the same image pop up again and again on the screen. "You are not alone in this universe. We have lived among you, hidden..." She pressed on the 'help' button and waited for a nurse or some other medical staff to help her.
A young boy in scrubs came in and asked her what was wrong. "The TV's broken. It's stuck on the same creepy channel" she said. "All the other TV's are doing the same thing" he told her, she noticed that he had a Scottish accent. It reminded her of a male version of Amy Pond.
"...but no more. As you've seen, we can destroy your cities at will! Unless you turn over this boy..." Images of an oddly familiar boy started to show up on screen. Drivers licenses, passports, student ID cards and a birth certificate flashed by on the screen until froze on one single image of him.
Penny fell out of her bed and onto the floor. "Are you alright?" the guy asked as he tried to help her up. Penny just pushed him away and crawled over to the TV. "No way..." she gasped in awe. "No freaking way!"
It was the 'stroke-guy'! Leo's friend from Astronomy class! The one that had the 'mental breakdown' in front of the Dean. "I know that guy..." she said shakily. "I freaking know that guy!" she point
"If you resist us, we will destroy the world as you know it"
Images of The Doctor and Donna Noble re-appeared as soon as the creature spoke that last sentence but Penny didn't care about it anymore. She immediately changed the channel to CNN and watched it as she settled back into her bed.
The news reports were horrible. They made it seem like it was the end of the world and just when Penny thought things couldn't get any weirder she saw a picture Leo and Sam Witwicky a.k.a 'stroke-guy'.
"We believe that they have information about aliens. The FBI, CIA and Interpol are all seeking the cooperation of the worldwide-"
"Hey! I was watching that!" She yelled. The guy in scrubs had turned off the TV. "Sorry but you need to stay in bed" he apologized. Penny rolled her eyes and crawled back into her bed.
"I'm Scott" he said smiling warmly at her. "And I'm Spanish. So what's your name?" she asked him. "My name is Scott" he chuckled. Penny blushed and hid her face in her hands.
"Sorry, it's just that I noticed your Scottish accent and, well, never mind. I'm Penny, nice to meet you" she stuttered as she held out a hand to shake, though she was still covering her face with her other hand.
She felt him take her hand and shake it gently. "It's alright. But are you alright?' he questioned. Penny nodded. "Are you sure? Because it was hard getting you out of that pile" he said.
Penny placed her hands in her lap. "Wait, so you rescued me?" he nodded. "I was in the library looking for a certain book when it all happened. I was trying to help everyone get out of there when I saw you get covered by books and other forms of debris" he explained.
Penny listened and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. That meant that Leo really did leave her there. That hurt her worse than the wrist did. "Thank you" she said softly. He gazed at her and rested his hand on top of hers.
"Anything for a damsel in distress"

A/N: Bleh...The last line was kind of lame but I will try and make the next chapter better! Also, I was re-watching Transformers 2 again and I noticed some mistakes in the film. During their Astronomy class when Sam has his 'mental breakdown' Leo is wearing a white jersey and a sweater.
Then after that scene we see Leo try and chat up Alice and offering her pizza with 18 different kinds of meat on it and he is not wearing a sweater. Then when Mikaela opens the door to Sam and Leo's room we see Leo is wearing his sweater again. Did anyone else notice that? PS. Review please ! ( ~ O w O ) ~
