Megatron poked Kit awake the next morning, his claw like hands that were once used in many wars now gently prodded a human awake. The human tried to wave his finger away but he was persistent. So she sat up and stretched, her shirt lifted showing off a smooth stomach. Kit yawned and rubbed her eyes.

When she saw the giant robot before her she smiled "Good morning" she said.

Megatron hesitated for a moment and then he too returned the greeting "Good morning Kit." He extended his hand and she climbed on. Kit sat in his hand and tried to put her hair to rights, she felt so dirty, what she wouldn't give for a shower and a clean pair of clothes. She felt happy Megatron was taking her to the mall today, and it wasn't just because she would get new clothes but also because she would get to spend more time with the battle hardened robot.

Megatron walked her to a small room that had been set aside for her needs and set her down. Once on the ground she walked towards the fridge which had been specially stocked and pulled out a few breakfast items which didn't take long to eat and grabbed the jug of orange juice. She didn't bother to pour herself a glass but rather drank from the jug. It took her about five minutes to fill herself up with enough food, when she had put everything away she allowed Megatron to pick her up once more and they left the room.

Megatron walked down the hall, he did not speak to Kit and she did not speak to him. Kit knew all to well the reputation he was trying to hold up and she knew that if he ever displayed mercy towards what the Decepticons thought was a lower life from his rule was gone. She respected that fact and not wishing to anger him she remained a silent prisoner. Megatron entered another room which was filled with a big monitor and a lot of buttons. To Kit it looked like some evil scientists lab where he made up plans for his new creations. Megatron took a seat in front of the computer and placed Kit on a board with flashing buttons.

"Megatron" Kit looked up at him.

"Yes Kit?" Megatron did not look at her, he was too busy pressing buttons, the monitor before him flashed with pictures and cybertronian words.

"What are you doing?" Kit asked him.

This time Megatron looked down at her "I would have thought it obvious" he said "I am looking for a form which will allow me to take you to the mall while still blending in" he told her.

"Oh!" Kit said "But…." She frowned

"But what?" Megatron looked down at her angrily, he expected her to be thankful for the change he was making.

"I thought you were too proud to change to an earth form" Kit said "I thought you were just going to land there and scare everyone into running while I steal clothes"

Megatron smiled at her "Ah, that would be fun" he said with an evil smile "but if I do that then that will attract military attention and I really do not feel like fighting Autobots with a pile of clothes in my cab" he told her.

"Right…" Kit said, she nodded "That makes sense"

Megatron nodded and figured no more talk was needed for now, he wanted to find an earth from.

As he was searching he felt Kit climbing up onto his arm, and to his shoulder. There she sat watching what he was doing.

"What form are you going to chose?" she asked.

"I don't know yet" Megatron said. He looked through a few more files not liking any of the earth forms he saw.

"Make sure you choose a cool one" Kit told him.

"Cool as in cold?" Megatron turned his head so that one blood red optic was look at her. It was obvious he was confused.

"No! Cool as in awesome, sweet, sick, radical the list goes on" she said.

"So you mean something that humans define as attractive or something that catches their attention?" Megatron asked.

"Something like that yeah" Kit nodded.

"Well my definition on what is 'cool' is different than that of your race" he said, turning his head back to the screen. "Something that can fit my size and something that is good and strong. That's what is acceptable"

"Oh" Kit said. She remained silent as Megatron looked through images. He paused at one, it was a big monster of a truck. Kit decided if monster trucks had kids this would be their baby. Megatron turned his head back to the human sitting on his shoulder.

"Do humans think this is 'cool'?" he asked.

"Yup" Kit gave him a thumbs up.

"Then this will be my form until we get back from the mall" Megatron said "you humans have such primitive ways to transport yourselves"

Kit crossed her arms "Well sorry for not being a super advanced robot race" she stuck her tongue out at him. Megatron then did something strange- he laughed. Kit raised an eyebrow.

"Now get of me human so that I can scan the form and test it out" Megatron said. Kit got off his shoulder and jumped onto the board. She watched as Megatron took a few steps back looked at the image for a moment, there were a few computer whirring sounds and then Megatron began to transform. Metal shifted and limbs disappeared and soon all that was before her was a massive truck.

"Ooooh" Kit applauded as Megatron transformed back to his robot mode, he looked no different then before and Kit was thankful for that.

"We may leave now" Megatron said. He held out his hand and Kit climbed on. Then the two walked outside the room and headed towards the outside of the base.

Once there Megatron transformed and Kit climbed in. the interior of Megatron was as awesome as the outside of him. He leather seats were the darkest black and the rest was a grey. Kit sat in the passengers seat and settled in as Megatron began to drive. Had anyone seen a silver truck racing through the dense forest area they would have thought him a professional rather than a first time driver which was what he was.

Kit had forgotten to put on her seatbelt but when the whole truck jerked and her head hit the window she did then remember safety.

"Ow" she rubbed her head trying to get rid of the little bump that had appeared.

"Are you ok Kit?" Megatron asked, he slowed down his pace a little bit so that the ride would not be as bumpy.

"I'm fine" Kit said, she dropped her hand from her head and settled back into her seat.

A few hours later Megatron reached a mall which Kit deemed as an acceptable mall to go to. Megatron parked as close to the entrance as possible he wasn't sure how far his holoform could go and he didn't really feel like vanishing in the middle of a public place and causing turmoil. Normally this would have been fun and he would have done it but now that he had a human to take care of he wasn't taking the chance of drawing attention to himself or her.

Kit got out and waited for Megatron to also climb out. His holoform gave her a quick smile and then they began the journey for clothes. Kit walked into the mall and quickly searched the area for a clothes store that caught her interest, she saw the store called Garage. Recognizing the name she walked towards it without another word. Megatron followed after her, he didn't question where they were going. When she entered the store she paused and turned on her heel to face Megatron.

"Two questions" she said waving two fingers in front of his face.

"I'm listening" he crossed his arms and looked at her, his red eyes were dulled and looked at her intently.

"One what do I call you, Megatron is not exactly a normal name" Kit said.

"I do not know. What is a name you humans would consider normal?" Megatron asked.

Kit thought for a moment, she couldn't figure out what name would fit him so she waved her hand "ya know what screw that. Your names fine" she told him.

"Fine. What's your second question?" Megatron asked.

"How are we going to pay for this?" she brought her two pointer fingers together and stuck out her thumbs.

Megatron smiled and leaned forward "Decepticons are good at forgery" he whipped out a credit card.

Kit whipped her head around hoping no one had heard that "so then… is there a limit to how much we can get?" Megatron shook his head no. Well that just made Kit's day. She gave him a big smile, and resisted the urge to throw her hands around him and hug him. Instead she turned once more and began to rummage through clothes.

After a few minutes Kit was holding a fairly substantial pile of clothes and grinning she nodded to Megatron who gave her his credit card. Kit then walked over to the counter and waited as the cashier rang up all of the clothes. Then ignoring the triple digits she handed over the credit card.

Megatron and Kit came out a few moments later laden with clothes. Megatron was heading towards the exit when Kit's voice stopped him.

"Where are you going?" Kit asked.

"Back to my original body." Megatron said jerking his head in the direction of the exit.

"But this was only the first store" Kit said.

"Huh?" was all that Megatron had to say. Kit sighed and grabbed his hand.

"Come on, I'm not done yet" Megatron gave one last glance towards the exit and sighed. He followed Kit into the next store which was filled with even more clothes than the other one.

At the Autobot base Carissa and Optimus were sharing a fluffy moment, they were sitting in the lounge. Optimus was cradling the small human to his chest and telling her about Cybertron. She would ask him questions and he would answer. But the moment was ruined when Bumblebee suddenly ran past the room letting out a loud whining sound which sounded a lot like laughing. A few moments after Rowan also ran past the room, she was looking over her shoulder and had an amused but frightened look on her face.

Optimus got up and was about to ask what was happening when Ratchet shouted "WHAT THE HELL!" a burst of laugher followed after his shout. "BUMBLBEE!" Ratchet shouted again. Bumblebee came into view from the doorway as did Ratchet. Bumblebee was pointing franticly down the hallway and Ratchet was twitching. "I KNOW YOU DID IT!" Bumblebee shook his head and pointed down the hallway he was whining. "LOOK I KNOW ROWAN HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT" Ratchet shouted, what ever Bumblebee had done it had really pissed him off. Bumblebee shook his head one more and tried once again to point when Rowan giggled, Ratchet paused his shouting to look past Bumblebee. "You didn't" he muttered. Rowan burst out laughing and then she too walked into view of the doorway so Optimus and Carissa could see.

Rowan was picked up by Bumblebee and she gave him the thumbs up "Alright!" she shouted. Bumblebee laughed and so did Rowan. Ratchet was fuming, he was clenching his fists and his optics were flashing.

"ROWAN!" Ratchet shouted. Rowan paused and smiled as innocently as she could.

"Yes Ratchet"

"YOU AND BUMBLEBEE, YOU- YOU- YOU" Ratchet was unable to finish because he was so angry. Ratchet's fist raised and Optimus fearing for Rowan and Bumblebee's life decided to step in.

"Alright you three enough" Optimus stepped in-between them.

Ratchet looked pleased that he had some one to tell about his misfortune. "Sir" he said.

Optimus turned to him "What happened Ratchet?"

"Well you see sir, I was outside conversing with Ironhide when he showed me a dent which he wanted pounded out so I went in to get it when I found- when I found- I found…" Ratchet shuddered, Optimus waited patently for Ratchet to collect himself. "They painted my tools pink!" Optimus' shoulders sunk a few inches and he turned to look at Bumblebee and Rowan who were laughing. He didn't even need to ask if what Ratchet accused was true, it was very apparent they had done it.

"Rowan, Bumblebee" Optimus said and they snapped to attention "As punishment you need to clean Ratchet's tools off"

Rowan raised her eyebrow "Punishment…" she turned to look at Bumblebee "totally worth it" she said and Bumblebee nodded. The two got right to work; they entered the med lab and saw the mass of pink before them.

Ratchet and Optimus flinched when they heard a burst of laughter coming from the med lab.

"Damn youngsters" Ratchet muttered.

"That reminded me of the twins" Optimus said with a small smile on his face.

"Sunstreaker and Sideswipe? Those delinquents!" Ratchet said still grumpy "They would have done worse so much worse. They would have gotten Ironhide too"

Ironhide's sudden agonized scream came from his room "Nooo!"

Optimus couldn't help it he laughed, Carissa looked up at him "Should I assume that Ironhide was just pranked?"

Optimus nodded, "Yes you should." Ratchet, Optimus and Carissa passed the med lab to get to Ironhide's room. The heard their sniggers and Carissa smiled.

Ironhide was standing in his doorway frozen stiff. Optimus looked over his shoulder and saw Ironhide's prized guns strewn about, but that wasn't the worst part. Each gun seemed to be covered by pretty pink bows.

Ironhide turned to Optimus his optics flashed "who ever did this, I'm gonna kill em" he muttered.

Ratchet nodded "I'll help you, there're in the med lab" but before they could run off Optimus stopped them.

"You will not harm Rowan or Bumblebee" he told them in his most commanding voice.

Ironhide paused "Rowan?" he said. Optimus nodded and Ironhide smiled in such a way a Decepticon would be proud of its evilness "She and I are going to have a talk" he said. When Optimus tried to stop him he shrugged his hand off "Don't worry I wont hurt her." Ironhide assured him.

Rowan was working on trying to scrub the paint off a wrench while Bumblebee was trying to get the paint off of a hammer. They jolted when Ironhide suddenly walked in, he ignored Bumblebee and walked on over to Rowan, he grabbed her and she gave out a shriek.

"Hey what the!" Ironhide ignored her too and walked out. Rowan gave up trying to get out of his grasp after a moment, she sighed and gave up. Instead of walking her to his room he walked her outside and set her down on the ground. Rowan looked up at him as he sat down.

There was silence for a long moment, Rowan was playing quietly with her hands and Ironhide was looking off into the distance.

"Ok! Fine! I'm sorry!" Rowan shouted suddenly. Ironhide looked down at her, he still looked grumpy. "Look I'm really sorry, its just that Bumblebee and I were bored and well we started thinking of ways to piss you off and well we deiced to make them a reality. But now I know it was wrong" she sounded as if she had said this speech before "and so to make it up to you I can help you clean up your guns" she gave him a smile trying to win her way back into his good books.

Normally Ironhide would had said no but the way the Rowan was apologizing and smiling at him he just had to say yes. And so he did. Rowan cheered and gave his foot a hug.

"Ok I'll help you as soon as I finish scraping off all of the pink paint on Ratchets tools" Rowan smiled at him sheepishly.

They were about to go back in when Carissa ran out she had a scared look on her face, "Optimus says to come in" she told them. Ironhide stood up and Rowan ran over to Carissa.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Optimus says that he senses something coming down from space" Cariss a said as they ran into the base.

It didn't take long for them to reach Optimus he greeted them and directed their attention towards a monitor.

"As you can see" he was speaking towards the Autobots in the room "The object-"

He was cut off but Carissa "you mean objects?" she said. Optimus looked at the screen and sure enough there was tow objects instead of one.

"Objects" he corrected giving Carissa a wink "are descending fast, and will hit right around where we are"

"Autobot or Decepticon?" Ironhide asked, he was eager to shoot something.

"We're not sure so, we need you to be on high alert." Optimus told him.

Rowan gave him the thumbs up, "Don't worry, sir we will be"

"Autobots…" Optimus said "Transform and roll out" Rowan smiled as the Autobots all around her Transformed, she climbed into Ironhide and soon the whole group was racing down the hall and out o the base.

The group reached the point in record time. The girls got out and were told to wait behind the bots, as they retreated the Autobots Transformed. They took a ready stance just as the two balls of flame came into sight. The descended fast and came towards the ground at high speeds. Once they hit the earth exploded around them. Rowan covered her face as debris shot past her.

Once Carissa felt it safe to look she saw the two pods had landed side by side and were transforming. As they did so the Autobots noticed the Autobot signet come into view and relaxed. Once the bots were transformed they stood before them just as impressive as the rest of them.

"OH GOD NO!" Ratchet shouted. Ironhide gave out a little groan and Optimus and Bumblebee chucked.

There before the Autobtos stood Sunstreaker and Sideswipe the twins.
