Chapter 5
Reunion
Optimus held his daughter in his arms not letting her go. He didn't want her escaping from him like she did with her mother. They were still walking in the woods trying to find the town and find a phone book to look up their friends. Amelia who was very tired from all the action earlier was slowly falling asleep knowing her father wouldn't let anything happen to her.
They finally found their way out of the woods and saw the town that they left ten years ago. Everything had changed a lot, since more houses had been built and everything was slowly becoming high tech. Optimus stood at the entrance of the woods and said, "Here take Amelia and I'll transform since I really can't go out like this until Halloween."
Angel smiled and took Amelia from his arms and remembering that night. She had dressed up as Christine and that night was when Optimus had learned to dance. Optimus returned to his normal size and transformed into a semi truck. Angel climbed in holding Amelia and sat in his seat. She laid Amelia down and buckled herself in.
He drove out of the brush and started driving through town. They soon realized that there were no more pay phones and that everyone had a cell phone. Angel never had a cell phone and so they had to start looking for her friends the old fashion way. As they started their search Angel saw someone walking on the sidewalk. She had blonde hair and was dressed in an army uniform.
"Optimus, stay here I think I found Melinda." she said unbuckling herself.
Optimus stopped and let her out. Amelia was still fast asleep when they stopped and both Angel and Optimus hoped that she wouldn't wake up. She was still little and spoke very loudly and if she started talking to her father then everyone will think she is weird and then he will have to show himself so they won't take her away.
Angel walked up the woman she thought was Melinda Conrad. She then asked, "Melinda?"
Melinda turned around and saw Angel standing in front of her. "Angel?"
"Hey Melinda." she replied smiling.
"ANGEL!" she screamed and hugged her friend very hard.
"Melinda it's so great to see you again. It's been a very long time." said Angel hugging her friend.
"I haven't see you since the wedding. Do you guys have any kids?" she asked.
"Yes we have one and her name is Amelia." she responded.
They started walking over to Optimus who was parked close by. Angel opened his door and showed her their sleeping daughter.
"She's so beautiful." she whispered, "She has your hair…kinda; some of it is blue like Optimus's head.
"Melinda is everyone still living in this area?" asked Angel who watched Melinda staring at Amelia.
"Yeah everyone is still here. Are you crazy? They would never leave here since this is the town we all met and wanted to see if the transformers would come back." she replied looking at Angel.
"That's good." said Angel, "Could we go get them?"
"Hell yeah, I'll show you where they all live and we'll pick them up, if Optimus can hold all of us in his cab." she said looking at the red truck.
"I'm pretty sure I can squeeze you all in here and if not we can always strap them on the top." he said in a happy tone.
Angel could tell he was smiling by the way he sounded and said, "Okay let's hit the road."
"Angel…Do you mean the song Hit the Road Jack?" said Melinda smiling.
They loved Ray Charles growing up and that was their favorite song of his of all time. Angel laughed holding Amelia in her arms. She then asked, "So did Tim propose when he came back?"
Melinda smiled and said, "Yes and we are married."
"Congratulations!" exclaimed Angel.
Amelia started moving and woke up and asked, "Who are you talking to mommy?"
Angel looked down at her daughter and said, "I'm talking to an old friend of mine. Her name is Melinda."
Amelia opened her eyes and looked at Melinda and smiled and said, "It's very nice to meet you."
"Wow you have very good manners for your age." said Melinda who was very impressed.
"Thank you." she replied smiling.
Melinda looked at her eyes and noticed they weren't a brown color, but gold. She had her father's eyes.
"You have very pretty eyes Amelia." she said.
"Thank you. My father has gold optics and that's where I got the color of my eyes from." she replied.
"So you and your father are very close."
"Yes we are." said Optimus.
They drove and followed the directions Melinda was telling them. They picked up Tim who was at home and was shocked to see Optimus and Angel again. He gave Angel a hug and then just like old time put her in a head lock.
"Hey Tim please let me go." she said struggling.
"Why Angel I haven't seen you in ten years." he retorted still having her in a head lock.
Angel tried to get loose. Even with all the training she had back at Cybertron you could never get out of a head lock. Amelia walked over to Tim and said, "Please let my mother go."
Tim saw her and slowly let her go. Angel then grabbed hold of his arm and threw him over her shoulder.
"I see you learned some moves while you were gone." he gasped.
"Yes, I learn from the best." she replied.
They all drove down and picked up Alexis, Rad, and Carlos. To Angel's surprise Carlos was married, but his wife was out of town at the moment. She was a business woman and was giving a presentation somewhere in the United States.
Alexis was so happy to see her old friends and was very happy to meet Amelia for the very first time. Everyone was telling them what had happened while they were gone. Alexis told them everything except one thing. She never told them about Starscream when he found her in the woods and took her home. She also didn't tell them that he had asked her to come back to her house.
Alexis started to go off in her own little world until Rad asked, "Hey Alexis are you coming or not?"
Alexis shook her head to get out of the trans and said, "Yeah I'm coming. Who do you think I am?"
"Well you were just standing there and didn't move." replied Carlos
Alexis got in Optimus's crowded cab. After everyone was buckled in, or as much as they could to be safe if anything happened, he started driving off towards the base. While driving he slowly got a head ache from all the commotion that was happening inside him. They finally made it to the base and everyone got out.
Amelia waited patiently for everyone to get out so that she could see her father. When everyone got out he transformed and put his hands on his head from a head ache that his passengers had caused.
"Hi daddy." she said.
Optimus looked down at his daughter and smiled. He quickly picked her up and held her around her stomach and chest she then started yelling, "Daddy I wanna fly!"
Optimus put his hand in an angle like an airplane and started running with her in his hand.
"Yay!" she screamed as she felt the wind hitting her face.
The day passed very fast and she had to go to bed and sleep. She didn't want too since she was asleep mostly during the day. So she laid back in her bed looking up at the ceiling.
