CHAPTER 6
Summary: What happened in between Transformers 1 and 2? How did Sam and Mikaela get together? A Sam/Mikaela story.
Authors note: AGAIN.. Sorry about taking so long to update. Busy with life and all that. THANK YOU to those who took the time to review the last time.
"Sam!" she shouted his name as she watched him scurry of into the dark. "This is what I get for dating a child." She murmured and continued on walking, figuring she'll just meet up with him wherever he was at this time.
She didn't have to walk too far because all of a sudden, Sam came running back to where she was, shrieking like a girl.
"Sam! What? What?" she asked him as he almost bumped into her, took a hold of her forearm, and hid behind her.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god," he chanted as he tried to pull her back.
"What? Sam?" she asked, trying to look at the place where he came running from. Where there Decepticons attacking again? She couldn't help but wonder as her heart started to beat faster than the usual.
"There's a nasty looking ghost down there, Mikaela," he finally explained. "Let's go back. C'mon. C'mon!"
It finally got to her. "Sam! If you don't stop acting like a girl, I swear to god, I'll leave you right now."
"What?" he frowned. "Why? There's a ghost, Mikaela. Don't you get it? A ghost!"
"You've come face to face with robots the size of houses and you're afraid of a guy in a costume?" she asked in disbelief.
"It's a scary looking costume," he told her in defense.
"It's a horror house! I swear to god, you're such a girl, Sam," she rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards where he came from.
"Mikaela, no!" he protested but she kept a good grip on him. He suddenly gave a good yank and she almost let go of him. "Oh god, there he is!"
Mikaela looked at where he was staring at with wide eyes. There stood a man who was dressed all in white, complete with white make-up to put on the illusion of being a ghost.
"He just stands there but when you pass by, he actually chases you," Sam whispered in her ear.
"Let's go," she pulled on him once again towards where the ghost was. The ghost started to move a little, putting on a little fright show. Mikaela let go of Sam's hand and stood directly in front of the ghost and placed her hands on her hips. "Hey you!" The ghost just groaned, still in character, giving her an unfazed look. "Were you the ghost who scared the pants out of my boyfriend? Don't you have anything better to do?"
"Geez, lady," the ghost suddenly dropped his act and scratched the back of his head. "It's my job. And it's not my fault your boyfriend's a wimp."
"Did you just seriously call my boyfriend a wimp?" she raised her brow at the ghost. "Are you looking for a fight?"
"Umm," the man gulped. "No."
"Good," she gave a satisfied nod. "Now scurry along and go scare other people."
"Yes, ma'am," he nodded and quickly strutted away from them.
"Now that that's settled," Mikaela turned to Sam who was completely silent and just looking at her. "Sam?"
"Hmm?"
"Let's go?" He just nodded. She looped her arm through his arm and leaned on him as they continued to walk through the horror house. Sam didn't say anything else and she was worried that he'd scared the crap out of himself. "Sam, are you alright?"
"Uh-huh," he simply replied.
She gave him a curious look. She spoke again when they finally got out of the horror house. She pulled on his arm to get his attention and he looked down at her. "Was it because I defended you from the ghost? I promise I won't do that again, Sam."
"No," he quickly shook his head. "It's not that, Mikaela."
"What is it then?"
"You called me your boyfriend."
"Oh," she suddenly realized that she did, indeed, call Sam his boyfriend when she was confronting the ghost. He looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to say something. "Sam, I like you. A lot, actually. And I want to go out on more dates with you someday. But if you don't want to be my boyfriend then…"
"No, no, no, no," he quickly cut her off with a shake of his head. "I just… Are you sure you want me to be your boyfriend?"
"What part of I like you a lot didn't you get, Sam?"
"It's just that… I'm me, Mikaela."
"That's what I like about you, Sam. You're you."
"Even if I leave you in the middle of a parking lot and a horror house?"
"Even if," she nodded. "And even if you come running back, screaming like a girl."
"Does that mean you're my girlfriend?"
"Yes, Sam."
"Cool," he smiled.
After getting caught in between a war against alien robots and running from robots the size of buildings, it only took a man in a ghost costume to bring Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes together. And Mikaela wouldn't have it any other way.
Sorry for this being short. I'll try to finish up the next chapter to upload soon. :)
