Chapter 3: Family matters
Everyone pulled up to a beautiful two-story white house. One in a string of other mansion like houses lively color houses. Some were much bigger than others with three-stories and others were just large one that sat on the ground. Cheri pulled the motorcycle in to the drive, large enough to fit Bee, Sides, and Cade. The others were forced to park in front or off to the side of the house.
Tai was the first out of Bee's vehicle mode to stare at the large and gorgeous house. The porch was very big and a swing just off to the end. Chairs outlined the wall near a large window. The second level looked like any other but just above the second levels windows was a small balcony made for two people. The front yard was similar to any suburban front yard with clean cut grass and a small flower bed lay right in front the porch. A rather large old tree rested near the side fencing. It was very tall and toward over the power lines and the house itself. On the lowest branch, a tier swing connected to a long chain hung motionlessly. Not for long though.
"I love your house!" Tai called to Justice who was just pulling off her helmet. Justice looked to see Tai running full speed to the tier swing. Her speed slowed slightly to jump through the hole on the tier. She landed softly but forcefully enough to make the swing fly high the air. She laughed loudly and joyfully with the amusement and thrill.
"Tatyana that looks like fun make way!" Justice yelled funning to the swing. Timing herself just right Justice jumped and landed right on top the swing. She took hold of the chain and planted her feet to lean off the swing as it continued to fly high. "Whoa-ho-ho!" she laughed. She and her cousin continued to laugh.
"Sam, you comin?" Tai called from in the air. Sam smiled playfully.
"Make way for awesomeness!" Sam yelled. The girls watched as Sam ran their way and right then and there Justice noticed trouble. Sam didn't time himself properly.
"Wait, wait!" Justice exclaimed. "Sam wait!" Sam jumped into the air confidently. He only had time to place one foot on the tier as it came his way. Sam accidentally pushed himself off the swing the momentum launching back to where he started. He flew far enough to land on the grass outlining the drive way on his back. Justice's hand came up to cover her mouth as did Tai's. They just watch their cousin rocket launch himself of the swing. This was just like three years ago when he came to visit Justice. Everyone else either cringed of laughed.
"Ooooh, that one hurt 'em," Sideswipe laughed nudging Bee's arm. He too was laughing at Sam's misfortune. Barricade was to snickering to himself trying to hide it by putting his fist to his mouth. Fearing the worst, Justice jumped from the swing as it headed his way laughing like it was the funniest thing she had ever seen. Tai followed her lead. Justice looked down to her broken cousin smiling a half concerned half amused smile. Sam's eyes opened seeing Bee, Mikaela, Tai, Justice, and Jazz looking down to him.
"Sam you okay?" Jazz asked. Painfully Sam sat up rubbing the back of his head. Justice smiled softly.
"Wow Sam," Justice said. "I haven't seen that in a long time." She and Bee helped Sam to his feet.
"Ya hit chya head hugh?" She asked. Sam didn't verbally respond to her question. He only nodded his response his hand still on his head. Justice thought for a moment then spoke up.
"I have an icepack in side for ya," Justice said. "N' it still has "Sam" written on it in those big bright letters." Sam's jaw dropped at her saying this. He had hurt himself that much in the pass they had made a special icepack for him. He and Justice customized it as little kids did with the really big baby letters. He couldn't believe they still had it or the fact Justice just leaked their secret.
"That was supposed to stay a secret!" Sam whined. Tai and Justice laughed as she walked to the house.
"Sorry mah cousin!" Justice called back. "I really din mean..." she was cut off by a little girls scream followed by a loud crash from inside. Everyone looked to one another worried. They then hauled ass to the front door. Justice very swiftly opened the front door to a horrific sight.
Twelve kids and toddlers total tore through the house like little mini hurricanes. Devastation followed them were they ran from each other or from two older boys. Toys and what looked to be Justices belongings were scattered on the floor along with couch pillows and broken glass. Juice stains could be seen in the couch cushions and pillows as well as the rugs. Small juice boxes laid spilled open on the rug and floor. Screams and cries filled the house as the kids fought or cried over a toy or a small cut or bruise. The whole house was blazing like wild fire from the trouble caused by the horde of children. Justice decided enough was enough.
"HEY!" Justice's angered voice filled the house over the screams. Everyone and everything paused at that moment of terror she caused. One of the older boys held two kids by their shirts and the other had a kid on his back and both his legs. The kids watched Justice fearfully. A wave of fear swept over all of them like a tsunami wave.
"All yall get chya lil asses in da back yard now!" her voice boomed. The kids scrambled for their things and each other as they headed for the patio sliding glass door tripping and falling over leftover toys and each other. Fake and happy screams sounded from all of them as they ran into the back yard. Justice began to check the kitchen coverts and cabinets for any stowaways. As Justice did this Cheri invited everybody in
"If you don't mind me asking who were those children?" Optimus asked Cheri.
"All ha lil brotha, sistas, cousins, nieces, and nephews." answered Cheri closing the door. Optimus was shocked all of those children were a part of her previous family. Even though he knew it was none of his concern, who would want that many children anyway? Optimus took a seat beside Ironhide on the juice covered beige couch. The living area was arranged very nicely despite the scattered things and few broken glasses. A glass coffee arranged with small pictures of justice and her parents and a flower center piece bouquet sat in the middle, table stood I the middle of the luv seat, couch, and chair. The patio door was not too far from the center were everyone sat and another small door way leading to another area of the house. The living area also formed in to the kitchen area
One of the boys who were trying to Rangel together the kids walked up behind the luv seat behind Sam and taped his shoulder. Sam turned to face the brightly smiling boy.
"Sup Sam-man," the boy said. His voice wasn't too deep but still boyish and on top of that it had an Australian accent. He was around Sam's height but a little leaner. His hair stopped just pass his shoulders; longer than most boys hair. It wasn't to flat but still didn't have too much volume to it. The hair atop his head was shorter and spiky. Bangs fell over his face between his eyes on his nose ridge and around his eyes framing them nicely. Whit was the color of his hair that turned light blue to a very darker shade of blue to the ends. His eyes were nicely shaped and very purely blue. By the look of his facial features he looked young around eighteen or seventeen. He only had one single piercing on his bottom lip to the left. His wardrobe was very different. He dawned sagging dark blue jeans that exposed white and grey boxers. He wore a black lose tank top and a necklace of a big polished white shark tooth. To top it all of atop his head rested clear white goggles. Sam smiled to the boy.
"Zak-attack," Sam said. He raised his hand to dap off the boy named Zak. "You've sertenely changed dude."
"well ya have to develop your own style once n' a while," Zak said.
"You guys know each other?" Mikaela asked. She sat on the arm of the luv seat.
"He used to be over here all the time when me and Justice would hang out," Sam said. Zak smiled remembering the good times they had spent together.
"So you're like AJ's bff right," Tai asked. Zak looked to her a smile crossing his face. This girl really stood out, all Zak knew is that he had to get to know her .Pretending to be cool, he smoothly he slid over to her right.
"Yup she's like mah sister," Zak said. "And who might you be cutie?" Zak's smile formed into a smirk. Just then a hand came down over his shoulder. He looked up to see it was Cheri.
"Mistake," Cheri laughed. "Ya aint getting a score she got a boy n' she family." Zak's eye brows rose. He looked back to a smiling Tai.
"Who's your boyfriend?" Zak asked. Jazz cleared his through capturing Zak attention. Zak got the message as soon as he locked eyes with Jazz's cold ones. Clearly he was pissed. He backed away raising his hands to defend himself from any punches he might have thrown. He had learned the hard way in the past to not as so much lock eyes with another guys girlfriend and he didn't want to live his past in the present.
"I am so sorry," Zak said frantically.
"Is cool man," Jazz said. "Just don't let it happen again." Zak laughed and smiled nervously. He turned towards the kitchen area an angered look on his face.
"Ya didn't tell me she was family too AJ!" he called into the kitchen. There was a short silence before Justice replied.
"Dugh boy!" she yelled back. "If ya haven't seen her around before dat should've told you somthin!" Zak sighed to himself. Justice really could have given him a heads up on this. A pillow connected with the side of his face messing up his hair and losing his goggles from his head. Apparently the second boy walked pass him holding pillows to through in the wash.
"C'mon ya know I'm not the smartest guy in the world but I got that faster than you." He said in a teenage voice. The boy had simple black hair that stopped at his neck and flowed nicely. His skin had a very pale dead look to it and a scar traveled lightly down his neck. The boy's eyes were very different from anyone else's. They were a bright yellowish color that caught light that seemed to make them glow. He wore a simple purple shirt under a light blue and purple jacket. His pants were black and fitted not to loosely but not too tightly. He appeared to be around his early twenties. The boy stopped to stand in front of Cherie which showed he was taller than him.
"I'm Skylar, I'm his big brother," he said pointing his thumb to Zak. Zak rolled his eyes to his brother. They didn't get along at the best of times but that was just their relationship.
"Don't you have something to go screw up?" Zak asked.
"Not till like an hour from now, why?" Skylar asked with a smirk. Zak groaned to himself from his brother's attempts to be funny.
"Get out a here," Zak said annoyed. Skylar walked out the room through the other door way snickering. "Pardon mah brother he's just special. Can I get you guys anything?"
"I'm a little hungry," Tai said. Sam looked to her.
"Again?" he asked. She only shrugged. It wasn't her fault her stomach got empty so fast.
"I'm on it," Zak said walking into the kitchen. Cheri followed close behind him shaking his head. They entered the kitchen to find Justice rummaging through the closet.
"That was nice man," Cheri smiled taking a seat on a wooden bar stool at the counter slash cooking area in the middle of the kitchen. Zak made a face to Cheri then opened the fridge. Justice closed the closet door not finding any more children to her great joy. She looked to the living room to her new friends and family. She noticed someone was missing from the group.
"Z, weres Red?" Justice asked her friend. He had just finished cutting a piece of King Cake to give to Tai. Zack laughed to himself as he thought of a possible place. Placing the piece of cake on a paper towel he headed back to the living room.
"Hello I'm I talkin to the air?" justice asked. "And put yo ass away." She hissed referring to his sagging pants. Zak turned around smiling evilly.
"He hangin around," he said. Zak handed Tai her snack as she thanked him. Tai looked to the snack examining it. It was covered in white icing and green sprinkles. The inside that was visible from the side, resembled a cinnamon roll and was a light brown.
"What's this?" Tai asked. "I never saw this before." Zak smiled. Tai looked like someone who love king cake.
"It's king cake," Zak said watching her reaction. Tai pursed her lips and raised an eye brow.
"How could it be King Cake?" she asked. "It's not supper big like a king cake." Zak and everyone else laughed at her joke. Zak was beginning to like her witty sense of humor. That was really clever word play.
"No they just call it king cake you've never tried it before?" Zak asked. Tai shook her head but it sure did look tasty. Tai took a large bite out of the cake piece. The taste was incredibly sweet. The icing and sprinkles made for an awesome taste.
"This is really good," Tai said her voice muffle by the food in her mouth. Optimus shook his head slightly.
"Don't talk with your mouth full Tatyana." He said. Tai smiled her apology besides talking it.
"Oh you're Tatyana," Zak said in realization. "Justice was constantly going on about you day in n' day out." Tai smiled as Justice walked in but it quickly vanished when she saw her expression. Justice looked as if she was looking for someone but couldn't find them. Almost like a lost friend at a concert.
"Raphael, where are you?" she asked. A voice was then herd from the hall to the front door. Justice ran quickly to locate the source of the voice. She looked around but couldn't find the boy.
"Up here AJ," the voice said again. What she saw would be something you'd expect to see in cartoons a boy dangling upside down by his ankle. A plastic jump rope was tied to his ankle supporting his weight but for how long?
"Some help would be much appreciated at the moment." He said.
"Zak, could you help him please?" Justice asked. Zak with lighting speed appeared next to her holding a large stake knife up in his hand like a crazed murder in a horror movie. The smile sealed the deal.
"Whoa!" Sam exclaimed looking to Zak like he was crazy.
"Ya couldn't use scissors?" Cade asked. Zak smiled he put his goggles over his eyes then gave a surfer hang lose sign.
"That won't be fun man." Zak then bounded up the stairs to were the rope was tied.
"Raphael, could you explain how dis happened?" Cheri asked walking up next to Justice. The boy Raphael sighed. How he got up there was because of the kids. They did it so perfectly though.
"Well I was chasing Jamacia and De'Shawn up the steps. Then out of nowhere here comes Phil and Delmond with the jump rope they tripped me the…it was all a blur."
"Don't worry mah brother," Zak said. "I'll have ya down in a sec." Raphael had finally taken notice to how Zak was planning on getting him down. Immediately he began to worry and freak.
"N-no, no, no, wait, wait, wait-aaahh!" Raphael dropped to the tiled floor. He landed hard on his side hard causing a small shake in the side table. Raphael let out a pained groan.
"You okay brah?" Zak called from atop the steps. Raphael didn't respond. He only forced himself up to his feet along with Justice's and Cheri's help.
"What were you thinking?" Raphael asked. "I could have broken something." Raphael walked to the living room without another word. Sometimes he just had to wonder about his dear brother. He couldn't blame it on him though he was still a young one.
Everyone got a good look at Raphael. He was tall but shorter than Cheri by a few inches. His hair was a fiery red and styled nicely. Along the back of his head was shaved and bangs swept over his left eye brow nicely. His skin was clear and smooth porcelain. His facial features were similar to Zak's except for the nose and eyes. His nose was more slender and eyes more narrowed. He looked around twenty or twenty-four. He wore red and white basketball shorts and a simple red shirt. His arms were strong but not so big. It wasn't until he was halfway across the room he noticed everyone.
"Oh company," he said. "My names Raphael I help take care of the house."
"Nice to meet you," Tai said wiping away left over sprinkles and crumbs from her face. "I'm Tatyana" Tai brought her hand up to say hi. Raphael smiled to her she seemed very nice.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked him. "That was a nice fall."
"It's okay," Raphael assured him. "I've actually been in worse." He rubbed his sore arm. It wasn't the first time he has been in a predicament similar or just like this one. He knew it defiantly wouldn't be his last either. Raphael looked to Justice.
"Where's Skylar?" he asked. She shrugged her reply. She hadn't been paying much attention to Skylar when she had stormed in. Zak came running down the stairs pushing his goggles up to his forehead. He answered his brother's question.
"He went to the wash room with some pillows."
"What? Do you realize what he has the potential to do?" Raphael started frantically. Justice sighed and put her head in her right hand. Cheri cocked his head to the left crossing his arms. "He could flood the whole wash room again if no one is telling him what to do." Justice pushed Zak's arm walking away. She wasn't in the mood to hear her friend's rants about how Skylar could mess things up more than once. It was an all but to familiar speech she heard too much.
"Ya just had ta get 'em started hugh?" Cheri asked walking back to the kitchen. Sighing Raphael hurried to the wash room to assist Skylar with his task. They really didn't need a repeat of the flooding incident. Although it was enjoyable for the much younger Justice and Zak the cleaning part was everyone's least favorite part.
"Paranoid," Justice muttered to herself. Bee just had to ask.
"Is Skylar a klutz or something?"
"It's not so much he's a klutz." Cheri said. "It's just he aint dat bright I should say." Justice and Zak agreed. Poor Skylar was a little challenged when it came to certain things. He wasn't the most coordinated with things and would have to have more specific instructions to do something. You learn to live with it though.
"You don't feel too alone," Ironhide spoke up. "We have to live with it too." He motioned to the twins sitting not too far from them on the floor. Skids brought up his hands in a shrugging motion offended by Ironhide insult. Everyone at base was still learning to live with them and add in their constant fighting it made it even more difficult to learn to live with them. Justice couldn't help but giggle. All of Sam and Tai's friends were having an effect on her, like real family.
"Guys I have one more person fo you ta meet," Justice said.
"Who?" Mikaela asked. Justice walked to the sliding glass patio door which was still opened. She pushed it open more as if she was allowing someone in. She brought her thumb and Pointer finger to her lips and blew making a loud whistle travel along the yard ad well as the house. A loud bark was heard and like a flash of lighting a large black dog came racing from the shed passing and jumping above the kids outside. The dog came to a stop at the glass door as if he was waiting to be invited into the house. Justice moved aside for the large sized dog. As it walked in every on stared at it like it was the most terrifying thing. He appeared to be a Great Dane but looked similar to a German shepherd in the face. Black smooth fur lined its body and was shaved to simulate the look of a Mohawk with a patch of fur resting between its pointed ears. The Autobots flashed back to the day they had first meet Psyche and thought she was a pony. Compared to Psych this dog was a horse. The dog sniffed around the living room then stopped at Ironhide's foot. Ironhide gave the dog an annoyed face. Justice noticed how her dog was affecting him.
"Isaac you don't like dogs?" she asked petting the dog's head. The dog looked up to Ironhide, its tongue hanging out its mouth. Urgh dogs breathe. Ironhide looked to Justice then to her canine companion. In truth, after living with tem for a while, he didn't mind dogs that much anymore. He was still a little mad from the incident with Mojo and his foot. Psyche was a nice girl but he could do without the slobber.
"Don't particularly care for them is all," Hide said fanning away the foul air around him.
"He's still burnt from Mojo peeing on his foot," Sam said. "When did you get this one?" the dog then came up to smell both Tai and Sam. Sam had the faint smell of Mojo on him and Tai just reeked of Psyche. Tai balled up the napkin he snack had rested on and put it in her pocket to throw out later. She petted its head and rubbed his neck smiling.
"Cheri got him for me like right before Katrina hit and he's still a puppy," Justice said. Tai lighted as his wet nose tickled around her face as he sniffed her face and hair.
"What kind of dog is he?" Sides asked. The dog then lay on his back as Tai dropped down rubbing his belly. His tail whipped from side to side quickly.
"He's a Dane shepherd," Justice said. "His name is black." Sam and Tai looked to her. Just black like his color?
"Why black?" Sam asked.
"Its mah favorite color and cause he liked it." Justice answered. Tai had to cut her a little slack. After all she named her dog Psyche. Black turned over and stood to his full height. He stretched his long legs to get some blood circulation to them. He sat in front of Tai his head way above hers ad she continued to rub his neck. She notice the black and white collar around his neck and dangling from it a skull shaped dog tag with his name and address on it along with the house number. Black's ear then stood straight on his head and whipped his head to the front door. As if not to startle Tai he walked away to the front door. He put his paw up to the handle and opened the unlocked door amazing everyone except Justice, Cheri, and Zak.
"We tryin ta get him ta stop dat." Justice said. Zak walked outside to see Black barking at the Red flamed blue semi-truck in front the house. He spun around once and put his upper body to the ground as he whimpered and barked lightly. Zak knew as well as Justice he only did this when he was excited to meet a new dog. This always made walking a hassle when they saw dog nearby. Zak looked to the window to see a Great Dane in the window barking loudly and excitedly.
"Cool, who's dog?" He asked turning back into the house. Justice joined him outside looking to the Dog inside the large Semi. A big smile rose on her face as the Great Dane pawed on the window. Tai, Sam, Mikaela, and Jazz watched from the doorway.
"She's mine she's Psyche," Tai said. She hoped that one of them wouldn't go and open the door. Justice didn't look to them. She kept watching the gorgeous Dane in the window. Zak ran to the end of the gated yard.
"Let's let her out!" the Australian boy cheered happily. He was so engulfed in his own excitement he didn't seem to hear Sam and the gangs protests against him letting her out. He simply grabbed hold of the trucks door handle and opened the door. He winced as Psyche jumped over his head to the ground and ran into the yard. He watched as Black and Psyche ran around the yard and sniffed each other. At that moment a sound caught his ear. It sounded like a little surprised sequel. He looked into the trucks cabin eyeing what looked like a baby sized robot toy. As Zak stepped on to the ledged of the truck Tai and Sam held their breath. Mikaela and Jazz watched motionlessly as the boy looked in. Zak then saw what looked like little blue lights in the driver's seat shining in his direction. They lights blinked making him jump. At that moment he knew it was not a toy.
"Hey there," Zak said softly. He moved onto the passenger seat to reach the little sparkling. Slowly he extended his left hand towards the startled sparkling. Zak's eyes went softer when he saw a little robotic baby's hand reaching for him. Ever so gently the small hand took hold of two of his fingers. Tai and Jazz started to panic when they saw Zak stepping away from Prime holding Sparrow in his arms. Justice looked to Sparrow shocked. She then shrieked to the top of her lungs
"She is so adorable!"
