GG23: The delay of this chapter posting can be blamed upon my school work and Facebook, essays and a social network that may or may not be controlled by the Decepticons are a very bad combination for writers, keep that in mind everyone.
IA30: Sis, you're scaring them.
GG23: Psh, I am a harmless squishy with not a threatening strand of DNA in my systems.
IA30: "Raises eyebrow" Says the femme that has nearly put her biobro in the hospital twice.
GG23: "Pouts" You're still scarier than me, a kid punched you square in the face and you didn't even budge! Then you smiled with a bleeding nose!
IA30: "Evil smirk."
GG23: Definitely scarier than me bro.

DISCLAIMER: HASBRO OWNS TRANSFORMERS. TWO HUMANS FROM DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS BELONG TO THEMSELVES!
NOTE: Arcee looks as she does in Transformers: Prime.
Alex and Jenna stared at the two giants as they discussed what to do with their "guests." Jenna still couldn't believe their luck that transported them to the world of their obsession! The one thing that brought her and Alex together after three months of Facebook discussions. "What do you think happened,'Jack?" A confused Bulkhead asked of his old friend and long time partner in combat.
"The bridge must have malfunctioned when we first opened it. Maybe the vortex itself transcended dimensions when the power feed controls overloaded, split the gateway in half and opened at two different end points..." Wheeljack muttered this while pondering the theory.
'This is taking too long.' Alex thought while Jenna wandered off to the ground bridge. Looking back at Alex she said, "Hey bro, do you think we can still go back to our dimension?"
He shrugged and pointed to the two mechs ,"Let's ask them. I mean it's their fault we're here anyway." He went over to the bots' general direction and cleared his throat. "Aherm! Guys! We haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Alexeis delas Alas from Manila,Philippines. This young lady here is my chat-mate Jenna Wygergangs from Ontario, Canada. I just wanna know how long you bots are gonna keep us here."
Wheeljack turned to the human male who called himself Alexeis. "For starters,we have no idea yet as to how you got hold of the beacons we sent see we encountered a problem with the power feed that resulted in the bridge going haywire."
"Wait," interrupted Alex, "What I mean is do you know how to send us back?"
This time it was Bulkhead who answered him,"We can't say yet. We'll have to find out how the vortex ended up in your locations instead of a India. Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you our names. I'm-"
"Bulkhead! And he's Wheeljack!" Jenna excitedly interrupted him. Bulkhead was surprised that this girl knew their names.
"How-?"'Jack struggled to find his words as he watched her pick up something from her bag. It was a laptop that she carried with her at all times, even when sleeping. "I knew your names? Easy! Lemme show you instead. It's hard to explain it in words alone." She turned her laptop over to them.
While the bots contemplated what to do with the visitors Bobby Epps popped into the hangar's human size entrance by kicking the door in. Alex and Jenna were startled by the noise along with 'Jack and Bulkhead. Fuming, Epps turned to the two glitches who were supposed to be in the brig, "What the Hell are you two doing here? Weren't you sent to the stockade? And who are these two?"
Wheeljack raised a hand to this and said, "Sorry, Epps. We just needed to get something from the ground bridge. Wouldn't want the Cons to discover the beacons we sent through. But these two appeared after we opened it holding the devices."
Not knowing what to do with the troublesome bots he just sent for Arcee to escort them back to their cells. The two human civilians were watching them leave when Jenna suddenly squeaked in delight at seeing the real Epps in front of her. Bulkhead stepped in front of the Sergeant to explain, "Um, sir? These two will need a place to stay."
"I am aware of that Bulkhead, thank you. Now get your big aft moving!" Epps glared Bulkhead down until the big bot went walking over to where Arcee waited with 'Jack at the door.
Epps looked at the somewhat dazed civilians, he snapped his fingers to get their attention and pointed towards the door," You two, come with me." Alex and Jenna shrugged at each other and followed.
The three went straight to the main operations hangar after depositing the two wayward mechs in the brig, Alex carrying Jenna's bag out of
chivalry. Arcee went with them out of curiosity and because she wanted to know more of the new arrivals. Epps then proceeded to have the two seated near the main comm terminal. "First off, I'm Chief Master Sergeant Robert Epps, vice team captain of NEST field operations. I'd like to ask you two some questions, about how you got here and how much you know of the Cybertronians living here on Diego Garcia," He talked and made a fresh pot of coffee at the same time.
Alex was eager for a bath since he'd come to conclusion of what had happened. He's been disassembling the bunch of electronics for close to three hours which made him sweat like a pig and leaving his clothes smelling like rotten drift wood dried in the sun. Looking at the soldier he asked, "Sir, request permission to speak freely?"
Hearing him Jenna tried not to laugh at her adopted net brother and friend and said,"Do you have to put it that way bro?"
Turning to her with a smirk he replied, "Ei, this is a military facility after all. Might as well follow protocols when speaking with a Co."
"He's right. Then again we're in the Rec room so chill dude."Epps said in good humour.
Finding herself a good place beside the three humans Arcee sat crossed legged on the floor next to Alex. "So, who are you guys and how'd you end up here?" She asked of a blushing man. 'She's beautiful,' he thought as he held out his hand to her.
"I'm Alex delas Alas, from the Philippines. And this is Jenna Wygergangs from Ontario, Canada. We don't know exactly how we got here but it's great to meet you, Arcee." He replied with a hint of amusement. Surprised Arcee inquired of the guest how he knew her but Jenna interrupted her train of thought.
"It's better if we show this to you than explain it." She said to the confused femme while she set up her computer. She opened up a file folder containing most of what she had on Transformers and clicked on the video file named Transformers 2007. On the screen they listened to E! News interviews with the star studded cast of the film. First Peter Cullen, the voice actor of Optimus Prime.
They talked about his involvement with the franchise in the past and how respiring his role is like putting on an old pair of sneakers that still fit well. After the voice actors came the human casts like Shia LeBouf, Kevin Dunn, Bernie Mac and the duo of Josh Duhamel and Tyreese Gibson. When it was Tyreese's turn Bobby nearly sprayed coffee all over the floor. Shivers ran up his spine as he watched the interview of the man who played his role. Seeing this Arcee fell into a fit of laughter, fluids coming out of the corners of her optics and was joined by Jenna and Alex.
"We definitly have to show this to Lennox. I wanna see his face while watching this." Came from Jenna who nearly fell off her seat.
"Yeah, ditto. And Mikeala and Sam too. They'd be happy to know they're famous movie stars." Alex agreed.
"By showing us this are you saying you two are from another dimension?"Arcee asked them both, her face near Alex.
Blushing yet again at the nearness of the femme he nodded. "That's one way of putting it. Although I'm not sure as to how or why it happened but I don't mind." Piped in Jenna. Noticing her friend's flushed look she nudge him with her elbow. "What's the matter, bro? Feeling sick or something?" She feigned concern with an evil glimmer in her eyes, she knew what was really going on and thought to leave the teasing for another time.
"I, uh, I'm okay." He stammered. Another hour passed by of questionining before Epps decided to let the two get some rest and showed them to his room in the barracks where they could turn in for the rest of the night or whatever's left of it. Giving Jenna some of his wife's clothing (which she raised an eyebrow at and he just shook his head to say 'Don't ask') he let the girl change out of hers and freshen up in the bathroom. Next he
gave Alex some Army issue sweats and a roll on de-odorant.
After they were changed he asked, "Do you two need anything else? I can take you to the mess hall if you're hungry?" Shaking their heads no he then bade them a good night's rest.
As the door closed they readied their sleeping arrangements. "I get dibs on the hammock, bro." Said Jenna as she picked up a pillow and
sheets from the bed.
Alex just smiled at her childish enthusiasm and watched her epically fail at climbing onto the hammock twice before getting in. But a sudden sadness hit him when he thought about what was to become of them. 'How in the world are we gonna get back home?' he mused, thinking back to the incident that led them to their shared dream turned reality.
Seeing the sad look on her friend Jenna hopped down from the hammock and asked, "Why so glum, Alex? Let's talk about it." She pulled him to the bed and sat herself next to him.
"I was just thinking about how everyone back home is taking our sudden disappearance is all. Think about it, sis. I mean, Tony might be worried sick right about now." He said looking her in the eye.
"I know. But what can we do? Wheeljack said it might take a while for him to find out why the bridge vortex suddenly opened up where we
found those beacons. Honestly I've been worrying about Tony this whole time, he might be this huge guy, but he doesn't handle distance very well." A single tear found its way down her cheek as she thought about her boyfriend. Alex took a tissue and wiped away her tear all the while thinking about how his elder sibling must be worrying.
Stroking her back he then pulled his dear friend in an embrace to calm her sadness. He guided her to the hammock and lifted her right off her feet with ease, much to her surprise. "For now, let's sleep on it. We both have been in transit through the vortex for hours and we're both tired. I'll still be here when you wake up, so don't you worry." He then tucked her in her blanket and kissed her forehead in a brotherly fashion.
"Didn't know you can be this sweet in person bro. Thanks." She complimented but Alex just blushed in response then smiled.
"Sleep tight, Sweet Spark. Goodnight, sis." He said while he turned off the lights. "Goodnight, brother." She said as she slipped into a fitful sleep.
Alex waited for her to fall asleep while laying still on the bed. When Jenna's breathing became even he got up as quietly as possible and went outside the bedroom to the desk where he was charging his phone. He turned it on and waited for the signal to register but found that his network connection was down. Since he couldn't get a hold of a signal decided to go back to bed.
Looking once more at his "spark sister," as he had come to affectionately call her he pushed aside a stray lock of hair from her face and thanked God that he finally had the chance to meet her. A strange sensation in his chest swelled and held, it was something he'd never felt before. A feeling that some deep hole in his heart has been filled in with oneness.
At the crack of dawn the soldiers assembled to the tarmac. Some of them still wearing pajamas while others half in uniform. Word came over the radio that the Autobots were on their way home to Diego Garcia Island Base and that they needed assistance on unloading the planes of mostly human equipment and vehicles. The other planes contained the mechs and femmes of the Autobot half of the operations team. They were returning from a scouting and retrieval of inbound Cybertronian protoforms that landed in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon.
One of the planes carried a very tired William Lennox, field command officer of NEST. Their mission was a success since the new arrival happened to be one of the Autobots' heavy hitters or "Brutes" as they were popularly known on Cybertron.
Bobby saw him come out of the plane and greeted his old friend and comrade. "So, how'd things go in the jungle? Found the newbie that landed there?"Asked Epps while helping him get his bags out.
Finishing the lousy cup of coffee he'd been given on the plane he replied wearily, "Yeah. Found him enjoying a bath by the river. Ratchet said that the newbie is one of the Brutes squad that protected their city Iacon from invaders and that he's one of the strongest in their team." Lennox pointed to C17, the last one that landed. The Cargo bay door openned to reveal a somewhat sleeping form inside the plane. "He got tired and went into recharge after we reached the base. I'll introduce him after he's recharged. What happened while we were off base?"
"Actually we have two uninvited guests, civilians, that got here last night. And guess who brought them here." H'd turned serious at the question."We gotta keep this a secret from the higher ups though cause these two are unique. You have to talk to Wheeljack first."
Not liking this, Lennox went directly to the brig where 'Jack and Bulkhead were staying. After the debriefing the soldiers and bots were dismissed.
Will and Bobby had gone to see 'Jack and felt that the issues needed to be taken care of immediately. They requested Prime to gather the Autobots at hangar 20 to meet with some special guests. "Captain Lennox, may I ask why you requested our presence here? Is it wise to have us known to your guests without prior clearance from your superiors?" Optimus asked of his human ally and friend.
"You'll know soon enough, Big Buddha." he replied using the Autobot Commander's callsign.
Back in Epps's room Alex was washing up when someone entered. "Yo, you guys up? We have to go meet a group of people who're interested to see you two." Looking outside the bathroom Alex saw Epps by the doorway.
He nodded and proceeded to wake Jenna up, "Jenna? Wake up sis, it's time to get up." He shook her shoulder to emphasize this.
Stirring she grumbled,"Mm, just five more minutes, Tony." Without realizing it was Alex.
Confused, he shook her one more time."Hey sis, wake up already. We have to go... We're gonna meet the Autobots"
Hearing the A-word she suddenly got up with an energy that surprised both males and in her haste forgot what she was sleeping in, thus resulting in her rolling out of the hammock and on top of Alex. Since he'd broken her fall she was able to get up and run to the washroom. Coming back out she pulled Alex to his feet," Ahha, sorry about that bro." Alex in turn just waved it off like nothing happen, though his back was killing him a bit.
Bobby just shook his head as he went in front of them. "You might wanna sleep in the bed next time, that way Alex can walk without a hunch." He pointed at the poor guy who was trying not to wince while straightening his back
Looking over she gave him an apologetic smile. Alex just smiled at her actions and reassuring her he's okay. Outside Bobby showed them around the base first before proceeding to the hangar by the coast. Lennox met them halfway and introduced himself but was cut off by a very small restrained squeak. All eyes turned to Jenna who blushed, "Captain Lennox, it's an honour to finally meet you! I've seen the first movie a hundred times and still love your scenes. My name's Jenna Wygergangs." She pointed to Alex, "And that's my friend and adopted online brother, Alexeis delas Alas."
Alex just waved and smiled at how amusing her reaction was. Will was just confused by this over exaggerated display of emotion then directed the two inside the hangar, where the two were introduced to the Autobots.
"Greetings. My name is Optimus Prime. And we are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron. You may call us Autobots for short." At this he directed the happy looks of the two human visitorsto his troops. "My Weapons Specialist: Ironhide. Our Chief Medical Officer: Ratchet. The Scouts: Skids and Mudflap. The Femmes of our species: Arcee you have met already, Chromia and Flareup. And the Frontliner Twins, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. You already know Wheeljack and Bulkhead."
Through the introductions Jenna and Alex got to know the bots up close. When Prime introduced the Twins however Jenna lost a little of her smile and seemed to be concentrating intensely. Alex glanced over at her and bit back a snicker, her fists were clenched tightly enough to make her knuckles white and her teeth were being forced together. A sense of restraint washed over him and he understood that Jenna was doing her best not to have a fangirl episode and scare the living slag out of everyone.
"Heh, interesting characters. Aren't they, Prime?" This from Ironhide who smirked at the strange contrast between the lean, dark skinned male and the short, very pale female.
'It appears that this may take a while.' thought Prime as he turned to Wheeljack and Bulkhead. "You two have some explaining to do."
"Sir, we were only trying to find an easier way to send troops in and out of base without expending too much of their fuel supplies." Explained 'Jack to his leader.
"Yeah, and that's why we built this ground bridge. It's just that we encountered some minor problems and momentarily lost two beacons into the vortex." Added Bulkhead.
"And you two half bits accidentally pulled two individuals from another dimension similar to this one on a parallel universe and now they can't go home, isn't that right, glitch heads?" Ratchet darkly finished fuming at their mistake.
Seeing Alex was beginning to shudder from restrained laughter Arcee went over to him to see if there was anything wrong. "Are you okay?" She asked of Alex then checked on Jenna.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. She does that whenever she gets excited." He said with a bit of a cough to clear his throat of his remaining snicker.
"Weird girl."commented Sunny about the very still human femme. "Yeah." added Sides. They looked at each other and shared a smug smirk. Apparently they recorded the way she was awed by the meer presence of them, before tensing up as she was currently at their introduction. They looked once more at the girl and smirked more sinsiterly. Arcee and Alex just looked at the twins as they left thinking the same thing. The twins had just decided to make Jenna their new play thing.
