Chapter Three…

(Optimus's POV)

I walked into the Rec room to Ironhide and Ratchet discussing our new guest. I was still thinking about her myself. She was such a strange female but she seemed so sweet. From what I could hear they were figuring out when she would go back to her home. She couldn't find out about us as the human government had told us to remain hidden among the populace. Ratchet thought it would be all right if she remained her at least for Tom. While Ironhide was more of the thought that she should be returned as soon as she woke up. I was unsure about it either way. I walked up to them quietly.

"Perhaps we should, as the humans say, cross that bridge when we get to it. We all need recharge. We can argue later." I told them.

"I suppose you're right Optimus. We could all use some recharge. Good night." With that Ratchet walked out.

Ironhide and I both walked back to our rooms in silence. When I awoke it was around 9A.M. I got out of bed and transformed so I could use my holo-form to check on Annalina. I arrived at her room and knocked on the door to see if she was already awake. To my surprise, she was.

"Good Morning, Tim. How was your night?" She spoke in a bright cheerful way. Again she shocked me. I had heard that only a minority of humans were morning people. Before I could respond she spoke again as if she had read my thoughts.

"Trust me, I'm not a morning person but I've been up for a while so the irritation has worn off."

"Oh, I see. I slept well thank you. How's your cut?" I asked of her conversationally.

"It's fine. Hugo did an excellent job of cleaning it. Today is Saturday, right?"

"Umm… no it's Friday." I replied confused.

"Oh shit. I'm supposed to be at school. I'm presenting my essay today. Shit, shit, shit."

" I could take you. What school do you attend?" Well this took care of that problem. At least I thought it did.

"University of California." Her reply was laced with something akin to hatred.

"Alright let's go." With that we left. The ride to the university was quiet so I decided to turn the radio on. It was a local station and had 80's music playing. Apparently Annalina knew the song as she started to sing along. Her voice was beautiful. I was entranced by the flow of the notes. I looked to her and I saw that she was smiling, a real smile. She looked back at me and laughed.

"What's so funny?" I asked her.

"Tu es amusant." She said still smiling.

"What?" I had no idea what she had said to me.

"I said you are funny or fun. It's French. Your facial expression was hilarious."

"Ah, I get it." So she knows some other languages. That was an interesting fact. We reached the college minutes later. I was saddened that she had to leave but I knew deep down that it was probably for the best if this was it.

"Bye Tim. Hope to see you again." She spoke happily.

"Goodbye Annalina." I drove back towards base slowly.

(Annalina's POV)

I walked toward the university thinking about him. He was sweet and caring and I wasn't sure what to call it. There was some thing different about him that I had not seen any where else before.

Class was boring even though I was able to present my essay. I was distracted to say the least. Tim was still on my mind no matter how I tried to move him to the side. I had to walk home since my car was there. I slowly not really wanting to go there at all. When I did get home all I did was plop down on the couch. Man, walking is just not my thing. I thought to myself. I tried to fall asleep but was so rudely interrupted by the phone ringing.

"Hello. Who is it?" I answered.

"Hey Anna. It's me, Sam. How ya doin'?"

"Hey Sam. I'm great but how have you been? I haven't heard from you in a year. There are no excuses. I know you weren't shunning me. Were you?" I sounded angry but he knew me so he knew as I did that I was laughing on the inside.

"Of course not. How would you like to come over for dinner tonight and meet some people? Like my girlfriend."

"You have a girlfriend? I'm shocked. Sure I'll be over. What time?"

"About seven. See ya then."

"Bye Sam."

"Bye." He hung up.

Well this was going to be exciting. I hadn't seen Sam in ages and he was technically my best friend. Although, he would deny it if you asked him. It was only 4:30 right now so i had a few hours to blow. So I decided to put in a movie. It turned out to be the new Ironman movie. I had seen it twice already and loved it. Popcorn was put into the microwave and Mountain Dew retrieved from the fridge. I went back into the living room just as the movie started.

About 2 hours later the movie ended. It was 6:30 so I decided to freshen up before going over to Sam's house. I brushed my hair and changed my clothes. I was now wearing a black tank top with a flannel shirt and a pair of jeans. My car, a Cadillac CTS, started right up and I drove to Sam's. I arrived right at seven to Sam standing out front looking for me.

"Just on time as always. How do you do it and when did you get the sweet ride?" He asked when I walked up.

"Just got it. Nice isn't it? Let's get in. I'm starving."

"Really? Or do you just what to meet the girl crazy enough to go out with me?"

"Both." I replied laughing

"Mom, Anna's here!" He called as we walked in. When we got into the living room I don't think I could have been more shocked. There sitting on the couch were Hugo, Rick, and Tim. Wow, Sam knows these guys. I have missed a lot.

"Hey guys. Funny seeing you here." I spoke to them which startled Sam.

"Wait you've met them? What...what the hell." Sam stuttered.

"Annalina. I did not know you were acquainted with Sam." Tim said.

"Will someone please tell me what the heck is going on here?" Sam asked.

"Sure will once we start eating." I said.

We walked to the kitchen and sat down at the table which was already occupied by someone.

"Anna, this is Mikaela. Mikaela this is my best friend Annalina."

"It's nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you from Sam." She said to me as we shook hands.

"It's nice to meet you as well. It's about time Sam met someone." We all were laughing as Sam's parents walked in and greeted me. We started a delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs with real garlic bread.

"So now explain." Sam said.
