Just thought that I'd give everyone a holler, that this chapter is kinda... ehh... Not that good in my opinion.. Mostly because, originally, I had to mess with what I had planned for this chapter earlier, so that I could include a friend in it... But people on Deviantart said it was okay. Either way I did enjoy typing this chapter, kinda.. All well, time to get to the story!

I tossed and turned as I slept, energon tears fell down my face, as I started to have a nightmare.

"N-no…Mom…! Le-leave me alone…! I did nothing wrong…!" I said as I continued to toss and turn in my sleep, as well as crying in my sleep.

What I didn't know while I was tossing and turning during my nightmare, is that I was being watched.

Optimus' sapphire blue optics glowed softly and caringly, as he watched me have my nightmare, wishing that he could help me somehow.

I woke from my nightmare, as I held back a scream of fear. I wrapped my arms around myself and rocked back and forth; as I started to shake in fear a little.

That nightmare I had… It was one of the scariest nightmares I've ever had…! I thought as I tried to calm myself down.

I turned around and looked out my window, as if expecting to see Optimus right there, but he wasn't.

Huh… That's strange… I could have sworn that someone was watching me a few minutes ago, while I was asleep… I thought to myself as I got out of bed.

I sighed, "I might as well get dressed, and then be ready for anything…" I said to myself.

I carefully got dressed and then walked out of my room, I was met with the family's pet dog.

"Hey Shadow!" I said with a smile on my face, I bent down and started to pet him.

Shadow just looked at me with his brown puppy-dog eyes, and started to paw at me a little.

I laughed a little, then stood back up, "Are you hungry, Shadow?" I asked.

Shadow stood up too, perked up his ears, and started to wag his tail.

I laughed again, "I'll take that as a yes!" then I walked into the kitchen.

Shadow followed me into the kitchen, just like my shadow, which is how he got his name.

I walked over to Shadow's food and water bowls, and noticed that they were almost empty.

Huh… I guess dad and Alex haven't feed Shadow OR given him water yet… I'll just have to feed Shadow and give him water then… I thought as I put food in Shadow's food bowl, and then poured some water into his water bowl.

"There ya go, Shadow..!" I said with a smile.

Shadow wagged his tail more, and then walked over to his food and water bowls. He started to eat some of his dog food.

I smiled once again, feeling a little happy. I sighed softly and walked over to the back door, I opened it and walked out the door. I made sure to close the door behind me, so that Shadow wouldn't follow me.

I walked out of the garage door, and closed it behind me as well.

I looked up at the sky, and sighed softly once more, "It looks like it is gonna be a beautiful day out today…" I said to myself.

Just then I saw a semi truck pull into the drive way, "There's Optimus… I wonder where he went?" I asked myself as I walked over to Optimus.

Just then a stranger climbed out of Optimus and looked at me, "So you're the girl that Optimus told me about…?" the lady asked.

I got slightly defensive, "That depends… Who are you?" I asked.

"No need to get defensive… I am Bonita Prime" Bonita replied.

My heart sank a little, I was hoping to eventually ask Optimus out, but I sighed and got over it.

"Okay… So then why are you here?" I asked.

"Optimus told me that your mom has been acting strange ever since this started to happen to you, so I've came to help out, in a way." Bonita said.

I was kind of confused, but I just shrugged, "Okay… But I don't know what help you can be, because my mom isn't here…" I said.

Optimus transformed and looked at me, "I did not know that…" he said.

I sighed, "My dad must have not shown you the note that my mom left yesterday left, after you came here… I don't know where my dad put it though; he might have thrown it out…" I replied.

"Could you look for it when you get the chance, or ask your dad about it?" Bonita asked.

I nodded, "Yeah… My dad might be up by now, so I'll go ask him about it…" I said as I turned around and walked back into the garage.

Bonita looked up at Optimus, "It's her isn't it, Optimus?" she asked him.

"I believe it is... I have no doubt about it.", Optimus replied.

"Then we'd better help her as much as we can… Who knows how badly this family has treated her…" Bonita said sadly.

Optimus nodded in agreement, as he transformed again.

Bonita sighed, "Alright, alright… I'll get in…" she said as she got into Optimus, and then lay down on the bed that was inside of him.

I looked out from the family room window, at where Optimus was in the drive way.

Why did he bring his wife..? Something fishy is going on around here… And I'm gonna find out what! I thought.

I turned away from the window and heard my dad in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen I saw that dad was making himself some breakfast.

"Good morning dad." I said to him.

Dad looked at me with a tired look on his face, "Good morning… And thanks for giving Shadow some food and water." he said.

I shrugged, "He's my dog too, so it's my responsibility to take care of him as well." I replied.

My dad nodded and chuckled a little, "That's right…" he said.

"Oh… Do you want some breakfast, sweetie?"

I shook my head, "Nah… I'm not hungry."

"Okay." my dad said with a small smile.

"Oh I just remembered something…"

"Oh really, what is it?"

"Do you know what you did with that note that mom left? Optimus told me that he wants to see it…"

My dad sighed a little, "I didn't throw it out, yet… It's in your mother and I's bed room, on my dresser..." he replied.

I nodded, "Thanks dad…" I said.

I then left the kitchen and walked to my parent's room, I found the note right where my dad said it would be.

I walked back into the kitchen, "I found the note… I'm gonna show it to Optimus later…" I told my dad.

"Okay…" my dad replied.

I walked back into the hallway, and went into my room. I set the note down on my messy desk, and just collapsed onto my bed.

So many things are already starting to happen again… Why me..? I thought as I sighed and closed my optics. Not too long after that I fell asleep.
