Here we go again. Update time. I know how Ally said last time that she was going to train her powers but that won't start happening for another couple of chapters. I have just been dying to write this one. This chapter should be sad. If I wasn't at school I would have cried while writing it.

The church was filled with mourners. And when I say filled, I mean filled. I had no idea that my mum was so popular. There were her colleagues and even a few of her students. Julie was there, standing next to Abbie.

Even the Autobots had shown off some new technology. They had activated their holoforms and were all attending as humans. Well images of humans anyway.

I was standing beside Starscream in the seats. His holoforms was tall and slim, with well-defined muscles. He had jet black hair and dark red eyes and slightly tanned skin.

"I don't want to do this" I whispered as I shuffled the speech in my hands "It was only four years ago that I was standing up there, farewelling my dad"

The priest finished his speech then turned to me. Starscream gave my hand a squeeze.

"You'll be fine" He whispered "Just don't look at the coffin"

The coffin, which was closed, was resting just at the base of the sanctuary. It was a smooth, plain brown wooden box. I quickly looked away and concentrated on getting up to the little podium. I adjusted the microphone to suit my height and put my speech down in front of me.

My eyes swept the people in the church and I cleared my throat. This was going to be the hardest few minutes of my life.

"Hello again everyone" I gave everyone a little wave "It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was up here, in this position. I know that most of you are probably thinking that I'm the most unfortunate girl in the world. I lost both of my parents in rather horrific accidents"

Murmurs of sympathy proved what I was saying.

"But when I think about, I just can't help realizing just how wrong that is. I am probably the luckiest girl in the world. I had one of the best mothers in history. When my Dad died four years ago she tackled the obstacles of single parenting head on with blunt determination. Even though we were living on a single income she still somehow managed to pay for my swimming and my schooling. Even if she was stressed and buried under work, she would still always find time to drive me around and help me when I needed it"

I stopped for a few seconds to wipe my eyes and calm myself down for the next part.

"My mum always told me that the next life was an adventure. That death was only a step in the journey. This is what she would say when I woke up screaming for my dad. I know now that she is defiantly with the angels. There is no way that she couldn't be. She was a hero, a beautiful person and the one I looked to when times were hard"

I had to take a deep breath but didn't bother to try and wipe away the tears that were flowing freely down my cheeks.

"She was the best mum ever. She taught me so much, about how to be strong, how to do the right thing. I'll miss her more than anything and I hope that I will make her proud"

Thankfully my speech finished and I had to stop myself from running back to my seat. I wrapped my arms around Starscreams neck and cried quietly as the priest finished the blessings. Abbie rubbed my shoulders silently the whole time, knowing that I was far beyond any comfort that words could bring.

oOo

The church had emptied and I was sitting alone at my mum's coffin. Abbie was standing by the door watching me silently, along with Julie and the Autobots.

"Do you think she'll be okay?" Abbie asked quietly, either not wanting me to hear or not wanting to disturb me.

"She lost her mother" That was Optimus. I could feel those blue eyes watching me. Even in his holoform they still glowed an unnatural blue. His short, spiky chocolate brown hair was just covering up the small symbols that were seemingly tattooed next to his ears. "She will get around it but you cannot rush her. Let her mourn"

Abbie was silent after that. The only other sound was the gentle rain that was pattering on the tin roof.

A few more minutes passed before the church doors opened again. Surprised I looked up suddenly at the three men in suits who entered. One of them, a Jordanian man, approached me. I leapt to my feet immediately, just as the Autobots, Abbie and Julie came and stood beside me.

"How are you doing Sweetie?" The suit asked, forcing a smile "You Allison Shortsoap?"

"No, I'm Allison Shorecoat" I emphasized the pronunciation of my last name. "I think you are the first person I've met who can't pronounce my last name. Now if you don't mind, my mum just died so could you be so kind as to come back at a later date."

The forced smile wavered, but was soon plastered into position again. I focused on him, like I had with Dylan and began to extract information.

Agent Seymour Simmons of Sector Seven, an advanced research and special access division of the government. Searching for Aliens and following high radioactive signatures. Investigating the meteor shower that took place a few days ago, believing it to be alien related. Also have to bring in Allison Shortsoap to discuss her late father's discovery.

I blinked rapidly to clear my head as I processed the new information. This was bad. Very bad. If the government knew about this then, well, the Autobots were in trouble. I nudged Abbie who was watching the suits with wide eyed curiosity.

"You need to go okay. I'll meet up with you later" She hesitated then shook her head.

"Not likely. I have a feeling that if I leave you'll do something stupid" She hissed. I frowned at her nd she gave me an innocent smile back.

"You are so annoying" I huffed

"Yeah I know" She smiled. I face palmed.

"There a problem ladies?" Simmons asked smoothly. He was holding a strange machine in his hands. It had a halo like prong and a small scale on the screen.

"Oh no, not at all" I practically snarled. "What's that anyway?" I nodded at the machine.

"Oh this. This is my little toy. Everyone just stand still please" Simmons waved the prong over Abbie. The machine clicked slowly "4 rads, hardly impressive" Next he waved it over Starscream. The machine went berserk "off the charts!" His eyes flicked from the machine to Starscream, to the machine again. I felt Starscream tense and I grabbed his arm.

"Easy" I murmured

I stiffened as the prong waved over me. For a few seconds the machine went crazy, and then it blew up. Simmons yelped in shock, coughed and dropped the smoking remains.

"Whoa, I think you're off the charts" Abbie elbowed me lightly. I simply stared at the remains then at Simmons who was staring at me like I was the bloody ghost of Christmas past.

"Not my fault" I shrugged. I thought hard and beamed thoughts into the Autobots and Starscreams mind

Get out of here now. They all hesitated Oh bloody hell, just go. I'll follow and meet you back at the base.

About two seconds later, the holoforms flickered then disappeared. Simmons jumped back and Julie shrieked.

"They just vanished. Oh my God, they just disappeared" She looked around wildly, as if they would be standing just behind us. Abbie and I exchanged a look.

"Run?" She asked

"Run" I agreed

Okay, that's done. I hope you enjoyed. I was nearly crying as I wrote this. Please please please review.
