IA30: Sis needed to get all her essays and exams done first "swats hand away from eyes" Stop that.

GG23: Allergy season is kicking in for me and my eyes are driving me nuts! D:

IA30: Don't make me get the Hatchet after you.

GG23: That's your threat for everything!

IA30: Hm...You're right...Don't make me get our lil sis after you.

GG23:...That's a much better threat. "Sits on hands to prevent rubbing eye."

DISCLAIMER: TRANSFORMERS ARE OWNED BY HASBRO.

Breakfast was a welcome sight to the two guests as they took trays and lined up at the mess hall food service table. Alex took a hefty amount of rice, ham, two eggs and at least 11 pieces of bacon along with a pitcher full of black coffee. Jenna stared at her spark brother in amazement all the while wondering how he was going to eat all of that food. She only picked up an apple a couple pieces of toast and a bottle of apple juice. 'If he can actually eat all that I'll have to wonder if there's a black hole in his stomach. It's the equivalent to my dad's supper intake times five!' She thought as she brought her tray opposite to Alex at the table.

Hearing her thoughts he looked at her confused. "What? Never seen a guy eat a five person meal before?" He asked the bewildered girl with a grin.

"Bro, don't you think that's too much? I mean seriously, that's going give you a heart attack." She remarked while getting to work putting butter and strawberry jam on her toast.

Laughing Alex shrugged and replied, "Hey, I'm going to need a lot of energy exploring this place. Arcee said she can take us around for a tour so we wouldn't get lost."

"I still think that's too much. Oh, maybe we can ask her to take us to see the new arrival." A spread on her face thinking of meeting the huge bot that had been mentioned earlier on. With this in mind the spark siblings hurried to finish their meal. Touring the base took them the better part of the day, going from the main hangar to the port then over to the firing range where they saw Chromia and Ironhide trying to out shoot each other. Then they went and visited the two wise cracks who created the machine that brought them here. They also ran into Epps and stopped to ask about using one of the vacant sleeping quarters for however long they were going to be there.

The afternoon found the trio inside med bay with Ratchet for a physical check up. While waiting for his turn, Alex talked to Arcee and asked her if she could confirm something for him. "Arcee, I know this is gonna sound crazy, but I just wanna know from you. Are you and Springer spark mates?" At first all he saw on her face was a raised brow plate, then her expression turned to one of amusement and laughter which brought a blush on Alex's face, "Um, did I say something wrong?" Asked the confused human.

"Sorry, it's just that we're not exactly spark mates. We're siblings. He's actually my big brother and the best damn triple changer in our war's history. We used to be partners during missions but when the event of our world's demise came apparent he sent me to the Ark along with the others to be evacuated. Since then I haven't heard from him. And I ought to shoot the guy who gave you false intel about me and brother." Hearing her laugh again made him ask another question.

"Remember the night we got transported here? We showed you how we knew about you and the actors who played the parts of Lennox and Epps and the others who voiced the Autobots. I wanted to know why you walk on two feet instead of a tail that ends with a wheel." This question just received another round laughter from Arcee making him blush even more.

"What're you talking about Alex? I've always been a bi-ped walker. You really shouldn't believe what you read about me in your world 'cause they're all wrong." She said gently pushing him towards the med bay doors since Jenna was done.

"Is your brother always like that? I'm starting to think maybe he likes me or something." She asked Jenna as she sat beside the Femme.

Confused she asked, "What? Did he blush again while talking to you?" Arcee nodded and she just smiled wide, her voice low in a sneaky way said, "Just goes to show that he does. In fact he's your number one fan boy in our world." Hearing this made the femme raise an optic ridge.

"Hey, can we go to the Autobot hangar after bro's check up? I really wanna meet the new guy. Bobby said he's a huge bot called a Brute. Can we go?" Jenna asked changing the subject much to Arcee's relief.

"Of course. But promise me you won't react the way you did the first time you saw the others. Brutes are more temperamental and might snark at you for no apparent reason."

"I promise. So what's his name?" Jenna put a hand over the spot where her heart was to show she was serious.

"I don't know yet since I wasn't with the scouting and retrieval team. We can ask Epps though if you like." The look on Jenna's face spelled sure excitement at finding out who the new arrival was. She even brought out her laptop to look into the list of possible Brutes that the Autobots may have had in their rosters. One hour passed and Alex got back to the ladies waiting for him.

"Did I make you wait longer than intended, my ladies?" He inquired in a gentlemanly of the two much to their amusement.

"We were just about to leave, kind sir. Wanna tag along? "Jenna said to him in the same manner that made Arcee smile. They walked towards the Autobot hangar together while talking about their past conversations on Facebook and how much the people they left behind must be worrying. Once inside they kept quiet since the Brute was still recharging. Epps was there too, checking the inventory of supplies needed by the bots. As soon as he spotted them he went over and greeted the two warmly. "So, what brings you here? Heard from the other soldiers that Alex here can out eat Lennox." He said in good humour. He was just about finished when they arrived.

"Heheh, not really. By the way, would you happen to know the designation of sleeping beauty over there?" Alex pointed to the lying form of the Brute.

Looking over to the hulking form covered in tarp he shook his head and replied, "Nope, haven't had the chance to ask Lennox about it. At any rate, you can't disturb the big guy. Doc Bot's orders. You can hang here if you like."

Hearing this Jenna turned to her companions to inform them of her plan. "Bro, I'm gonna hang out here for a bit. I wanna make sure I get to welcome him here first. Plus, I wanna get to know him." She said, her eyes twinkling with excitement that got a worried look on Alex's face.

"Are you sure? It's kinda lonesome here without us to keep you company." Worrying about his spark sister is one of the traits that she liked about him. Even when they were still continents apart in their dimension he always worried that something bad may have happened to her. He even made sure she took her supplements before going to bed because of her being anaemic (and she really needed to be reminded.)

"I'll be fine, brother. Don't worry." She reassured him before adding in a whisper, "Besides, now's your chance to be alone with Arcee. Who knows, she may allow you to take her out on a date." She snickered as he blushed yet again and gave her a playful push.

"Oh alright. Just promise me you won't wake him up, okay?" He said letting her push him towards the waiting femme. Rolling her eyes she pushed him out of the hangar."Okay, okay, fine. Have fun with her, brother!" Then waved them off.

"Now to make myself at home here." She went over to where the seats were and took one. She placed it close to the sleeping giant all the while guessing who it was. Thinking back to the incident that lead them to this world she wondered what would become of them. They had to be kept a secret from Galloway, if he was even still bothering the N.E.S.T crew. Or they would become government experiments, not a happy thought. Then there was the people they left behind, they'd be worrying so much about their disappearance as well as how and where to start looking. Jenna let out a small sigh and let her smile fade. Meeting her spark brother and the Autobots was incredible, but the overall cost just seemed too much. Guilt and worry ate at her thoughts in a constant loop until she curled up on her seat and let herself cry. Out on the tarmac Alex and Arcee sat on top of some metal crates talking about how he met the girl who wrote one of his favorite fan made fictions about Transformers."She even asked me if I wanted to insert my own original character in her story since I made such a good job revising the cover art she made." He told the interested femme of the first time he made contact with Jenna.

"Really? You humans are quite misleading in appearance. I never took you to be the artistic type the first time I saw you." Which was true considering that he looked like a guy straight out of an engine covered in dirt and grime all over.

Laughing at this he then showed her some of the art he made for Jenna. "This is the first one I made for sis. Then it was followed with a pic of her O.C. when she was fourteen. The rest was inspired by the budding love between the two." He said showing the line arts of two characters kissing passionately.

Seeing them she made a mental note to have it copied the next time. "Wow, you're really good at this, Alex."

"Thank you, Arcee." He replied humbly to her compliment. A moment later he faintly heard and felt Jenna's voice, alarmed he looked around and didn't find her, realization sinking in he let the initial surprise ride out.

Arcee saw Alex go rigid staring back at the Autobot hangar, a look of concerned confusion slipped on her face plates. "Is something the matter?" Worried she placed a hand on his back to gain his attention. Alex felt her hand touch his back and relaxed turning his attention once again on the blue femme his eyes fixed on her optics.

"Can you keep a secret for me?" He asked all playfulness absent from his tone, Arcee nodded. "Ever since we started chatting two months ago I felt a connection being formed between us. I don't mean the type of connection you have between friends. It's like I can feel her presence every now and then. I guess it's what you call on Cybertron a spark sibling bond." He reached inside his pocket and pulled out a stick of Marlboro and lit it up.

She gave him a confused look, her optics dimmed searching the world wide web for any recorded history of this kind of thing happening with humans ever before. Finding nothing she stated, "But that's impossible! Humans are born not sparked. And you have souls not sparks." With raised optic brows.

Contemplating what she said Alex told her of his bond with Jenna and explained to Arcee as detailed as possible. "A fellow writer once said, 'Humans are a sympathetic lot. They can establish deep connections with the person they care about deeply. In some rare cases a patient dies when his/her beloved dies they malfunction then die soon after.' and I believe her. If something bad happens to her I'll be lonely without her" When he tried to listen to her voice once more all he heard was happiness at finding out who the Brute really was.

Arcee waited for him to speak. To her surprise he took her hand then said, "Let's go find Optimus. I need to ask him a really huge favour. Would you happen to know where he might be going next?"

"He's in the operations hangar right now. I'll take you there but first..."she said. She jumped up to her front to transform into her alt mode. "Hop on. This way's much faster."She felt like a kid being presented a new bike all the while squealing like the fan boy that he was. In his excitement to ride he tripped over his own feet and fell face first on the tarmac.

Back at the Autobot hangar, Jenna sat on the chair with her laptop on the floor. She was still sniffling from her brief moment of depression, she'd gone into her photo files and looked over some pictures of her boyfriend. So busy with wallowing in her loneliness that she didn't notice the brute stirring a few feet beside her. The only thing that made her look in its direction was the canvas covering falling to the ground. It sat up, yawned and proceeded to stretch his stiff joints. Suprised she let out a yelp as she scrambled backwards on all fours. The only thought she had in her mind was 'Bigbigbigbigbigbigbigbig!'

Noticing the human femme's fear of him he quickly apologized. " Me Grimlock. You were crying. Did Grimlock make cry?" But she just stared at him, almost even evaluating him.

"Oh my Primus! You're Grimlock!" Jenna leapt to her feet wiping her eyes to see him more clearly.

"Yes, me Grimlock. Why was tiny human femme crying?" Asked the bewildered brute.

Looking at him she gleefully apologized. "Oh, that! Sorry. I was just thinking about someone is all." Picking up her laptop she opened a file folder and showed it to him," Since you just got here you'll need to know what all the others know. I'm not from here. " She showed him various images of him from Transformers G1, animated, and his Beast Wars counter part named Dinobot. Grimlock tilted his head storing everything away in his memory banks and waited for her to finish before raising a hand. (Which made Jenna just want to hug him for being adorable in such an awesome way.)

"How did Jenna get here?" Asked Grimlock as he tried to absorb what she said. A world where Transformers was just a form of entertainment? That's just impossible.

"I got here through a ground bridge built by Wheeljack and Bulkhead." She said as she put her laptop back in its bag.

"Wheeljack and Bulkhead are here? And what's a ground bridge?" As happy as he was finding out his buds were there he had this sinking feeling and hoping she'd just been pulling his leg.

"Well, from what my brother told me a ground bridge is a scaled down version of space bridge technology. Instead of sending bots to different solar systems it instead sends anyone to anywhere on Earth. At least that's what I've heard. Uh, Grimlock? What's wrong?" She asked watching the brute stand up, only to have to back up so as not to put a kink her neck

"Sorry Jenna. Any idea where those two are? Me need to talk to them." He smiled when he saw her nod. He then offered his hand to her and lifted her up to his shoulder. "They're in the brig, just south of here." Pointing her new found friend to the brig they set off on their way with Jenna fighting back giggles from the feel of riding a rollercoaster. Inside the meeting room of the main operations hangar a certain Chief Medical Officer was outraged by the human guest. "ABSOLUTELY NOT! There's not a chance in the Pit I'm going to allow it!" Thundered Ratchet swinging his wrench for emphasis.

"Look! This is exactly the reason why the other Autobots call you the Hatchet! You're too obstinate to consider all possible solutions to a problem!" Alex spat back as Arcee tried her best to calm her human friend. "Alex, please listen to him. It's too dangerous to try and reopen the bridge."

Looking at her he noticed that she was worried about him. He eased up at this knowing that she was only trying to calm him. Sighing he reached for Arcee's hand."I'm sorry, Arcee. It's just that I don't wanna be stuck here forever. And I have to at least try to find a way back home. Jenna misses her boyfriend too and I want her to be happy."

Hearing his words, she felt a pang of pain in her spark at the thought of saying goodbye to her new friend. She turned to Optimus and implored him to help convince the aged medical officer. "Sir, permission to speak freely." Seeing him oblige with a nod, she continued. "Sir, I know the dangers of space bridge accidents and am aware of the consequences. These two do not belong to this world. It is only right to help them get back home. If need be I will freely serve brig time if they ever come to harm."

Ratchet was surprised at her willingness to help them. He subspaced the wrench he was holding and slumped a bit with a nod of his approval in defeat.

Alex threw his fist in the air at this and went to Arcee's side puts his arms around her in a hug. "Thanks, Arcee. I owe you a wash." This brought a smile to her face as she looked at her friend. 'I'll be sure to wait for that.' She thought happily, the other men on base had too much respect or fear of her to attempt even asking her if they could lend a hand in keeping her shiny appearance.

She joined Alex outside to find Jenna and tell her the good news.
