This chapt's mainly about Michelle really... so... yeah it's worth reading :3

Chapter 18-date with disaster

Whilst on her way back inside Ratchet passed Viper then looked at her concerned

"Viper, are you ok?" he asked

"I'm fine, I just need some rest," she sighed, he nodded and let her transform then walk off. What he didn't miss was the streaks of missing paint and additional beige paint.

"She's been up to something," he frowned then walked into his med-bay. Meanwhile, Michelle had gone out for a walk when she spotted a familiar police car then backed behind a wall then gulped reading the decals 'to punish and enslave' down his back end.

"Dang Cop car's still hot," she sighed then jumped as a hand covered her mouth

"Hello baby," an unfamiliar voice purred down her ear as she turned her head then gagged at the smell of alcohol.

"T-there's a po-police officer there!" she warned and he smirked then pulled her into the ally way behind them 'call him, or get raped... hmm,' she thought then bit down on the guys hand "BARRICADE!!!!" she screamed and Barricade jumped then his engine roared to life as he span round and drove across the street then turned his holoform on. He was around 6'3, spiky black hair with a white streak and slight purple tint to the black, his eyes were a malicious blood red, his skin was nicely tanned, he had slight stubble and a goatee, he had a well chiselled jaw and a pincer shaped silver/black tattoo on both sides of his face. His body was well built and looked rather menacing but drop dead gorgeous. He wore a midnight blue button up shirt with a black jacket over the top and dark blue jeans with black boots; on his belt were a police badge and two guns, one of which was now in his hand (going off Deviant arts Scarlingragdoll666's version of him).

He scowled showing white teeth with two fangs when he heard a yelp.

"Who called my name?" he asked nastily then he heard a 'shut up'

"BARRICADE HELP!!" Michelle screamed, he aimed then fired hearing a satisfying thud, and then he watched as a female walked out shakily then collapsed into his arms. "B-barricade..." she breathed

"I know you," he growled then picked her up and carried her to his car mode.

"T-thanks," she smiled then fell unconscious. A few hours after she awoke in the hospital, her left arm was in a cast and a bandage patch was pressed to a bad cut on her forehead. She looked up seeing a figure leaning on the doorway

"You know, you're like a magnet for trouble," the man smirked

"Eh, my trouble's the fun kind... most of the time," she shrugged then winced "thanks' 'Cade," she smiled

"I have to go, your parents are here... as are four Autobots," he frowned and she nodded

"Um... ok," she spoke as he frowned hearing a tone of sadness in her voice. He walked over to her then cupped her chin lifting it so she met his gaze.

"I'd happily try to kidnap you again," he smirked then pressed his lips against hers as she blushed. Then all of a sudden he disappeared as her parents, Slip and Roadrip, Dove and Frostbite came rushing in the Autobots having detected a Decepticon signature.

"Hi guys," Michelle smiled

"We detected a Decepticon," Slip frowned and Michelle shrugged

"Not seen one," she sighed, outside Barricade smiled

"Thanks kid," he spoke then sped off as a previous massive crush for the decepticon officer re-surfaced at the worst time ever.

"Slip?" she asked and the black/blonde haired girl looked at her as she motioned her to come closer, then she whispered in Slips ear

"Didn't the twins wanna come see me?" she asked frowning

"Well... um...they're in the med-bay," she sighed

"Why?" Michelle asked shocked

"They pranked Ironhide again," she shrugged

"Slip," she gulped

"What?"

"Do you think they actually like me?" she asked softly and Slipshot gave a look to Roadrip

"Ok, girl talk, everyone out," Roadrip sighed then pushed everyone including himself out the room.

"Um... I don't know, why?" Slip asked softly as she sat down

"I don't think they do," she sighed

"Why?" Slipshot asked

"Well... it only seems like they date me to have sex with me," she shrugged

"Wasn't that what you wanted?" Slip frowned

"At first yeah... but... I'd like someone who'll try to protect me even if it's not in his programming," she frowned and Slip raised an eyebrow

"Ok... which mech is it?" she asked dryly

"Remember when I got that big crush on Barricade?" Michelle asked and Slipshot nodded frowning

"Well... it just got bigger," Michelle frowned as Slipshot scowled

"Damn woman! He's a decepticon! He's not a nice guy!" Slipshot fumed as Michelle shrugged

"So? He saved me!" she argued and Slipshot stopped her rant then frowned

"He... saved you?!" she asked shocked and Michelle nodded

"He was on the corner of the street I was on... when I got attacked I just yelled his name and he came to my rescue," she explained like she was in thought

"Want me to call off the prom date with the twins?" Slipshot smiled

"Um... then I'd be on my own at the prom," she frowned

"Trust me Michelle, you won't be on your own," Slipshot smirked deviously.

----------------

The Twins had only shrugged at the news of the call off for the prom date, Sideswipe had admittedly sulked for a while but Sunstreaker really didn't care.

"You mean you don't care at all?" Slipshot asked frowning

"She's a human, so... not really," he shrugged

"Ugh! She was bloody right!" Slip growled then transformed and sped out the base in search of someone.

---------------

All teachers at the prom had actually requested the schools resident Autobot occupants to come to the prom, just in case a decepticon attacked, so when the strange row of cars pulled up in the car-park, all teachers breathed a sigh of relief. Sara wore a long black silk flowing dress with yellow bangles and high heels; her hair was in its normal style. Dove wore a long snow white dress with her silver/blue hair loosely curled; glitter adorned her cheeks and silver eye-shadow along with electric blue lip-gloss. Mike wore a black suit with a maroon button up shirt and black boots, his hair was still a mess, but it suited him. Ray wore a midnight blue suit with a black button up shirt underneath and black boots, his hair was always a mess no matter what he did with it, so he didn't care. Sara and Mike locked arms as did Dove and Ray as Michelle and Jay walked up at either sides. Michelle wore a long red silk dress with her hair curled and put in a high messy ponytail with red little clips in the ponytail making her hair shimmer. She wore red lipstick and see-through lip-gloss along with red mascara and eyeliner. Jay wore a black suit with a red button up shirt underneath and black boots.

"Now i'm all on my own," Michelle sighed

"Not for long," Sara smirked and they walked inside. A few moments later Michelle could've sworn she'd heard a brief siren but shook it off as Sara sneaked outside

"I can't believe i'm doing this,"

"Not the only one Autobot," a male voice growled as Sara stuck her tongue out.

"Look, just go in and surprise the girl." Sara sighed

"I think she'll be plenty surprised," he rolled his crimson eyes as he lent on his hood

"Just go!" Sara ordered and pointed towards the doors as he chuckled then walked inside with her following. Inside, Michelle was sat at a table bored, silently planning to destroy everyone's night if she didn't get some fun. Just then someone tapped her on the shoulder, she turned round then gaped, looked round him at a smirking Sara whom shrugged innocently then went to have fun with Mike.

"Slipshot tracked me down and asked me to come," he smirked

"And you came?!" she asked shocked

"I had nothing better to do," he replied smiling and making her insides turn to goo... figuratively speaking of course.

Meanwhile...

"Slipshot?" one of the younger teachers asked as she looked at the males back

"What?" she asked

"Is that... one of the Decepticons?" she asked and Sara nodded

"Yeah...well tonight he's a neutral," she smiled

"And why's that?" the teacher asked

"Cause Michelle wants him to be," Sara smiled softly and the teacher mouthed an 'oh' as she smiled. Across the room, Sam and Mikeala had agreed to chaperoning and were currently watching their daughter with shock

"Is that..."

"Barricade?" Sam finished for her

"Yep," Mikeala replied

"Well then yeah it is..." he frowned then got up but Mikeala pulled him back down then pointed at Michelle "what?" he asked then looked at his daughter again to see a happy smile on her face and her hand holding Barricades.

"She looks so happy," Mikeala sighed "and look at him, if he was really so bad we'd all be dead by now," she sighed

"...True... but he's still a Decepticon... and he chased me through an abandoned car lot,"

"That was yonkies ago, forgive and forget, your daughters happy, just leave it at that," she rolled her eyes as he grumbled then sat back down.

"Thanks again for saving me Cade," Michelle smiled

"I couldn't let you be injured now could I?" he smirked

"Well... you could," she replied shrugging and he sighed then reached down and kissed her softly

"No... I couldn't," he smiled as she blushed "now, this is a prom, right?" he asked and she nodded "well then, come on," he grinned and led her to the dance floor

"You dance?" she asked shocked and his eyes dimmed slightly then brightened again

"Do now," he chuckled

"Aww, you learned to dance for her," Sara giggled and he rolled his eyes

"Don't you have a spark-mate to dance with?" He frowned as she grinned

"I know when i'm not needed," she responded then ran off. Sam had decided his daughter wasn't allowed near a decepticon so he'd rung Bumblebee, whom was quick to appear on the scene, but when he tried to enter the room, Slipshot, Roadrip, Dove-spring and Frostbites holoforms blocked him.

"He's not doing any harm dad," Slip narrowed her eyes

"He's a decepticon!" Bee growled and a few people turned their heads towards the five

"Tonight he's a neutral!" Roadrip frowned and Bumblebee looked around the teens to see Michelle and Barricade looking at the Autobots curiously, Barricade saw the angry look his old rival was giving him then gulped as Michelle practically buried herself in his arms as she peeked around his muscular form.

"Barricade; get your aft away from her!" he growled

"Dad this is the PROM, you can't come in here and just start yelling!" Slipshot fumed

"Quiet Slipshot!" he spoke angrily as many people started whispering

"Oh now look what you did," Frostbite sighed then turned his back on Bumblebees holoform "IT'S ALRIGHT PEOPLE, JUST CARRY ON THE GOOD TIME, JUST FAMILY FEUDS!" he yelled and the teens looked at Barricade and Michelle

"I guess our times up," he sighed and she looked at him sadly then nodded, he reached down then kissed her as everyone heard an engine rumble to life as he smiled down at her then fizzled out of view making many people gasp as the Saleen mustang sped out the car park. Michelle stared at her dad with a look of hate,

"Slip?" she asked and Sara turned around "can you take me home?" she asked and Sara nodded softly then walked over to her then put her arm around her shoulder.

"Come on," she sighed and led the girl out as multiple people whispered amongst themselves, Sara gave her dad one HELL of a nasty glare as she walked past him and into the car park.

-----------------------------

That night Michelle had ignored everything her dad had said... as did Jay.

"Michelle?" Sam asked as he knocked on her bedroom door "Michelle open the door," he sighed but got no answer, "Michelle?!" he knocked louder. About half an hour before, Michelle had gotten a text message saying 'if you wish to be with me, meet me at the corner of your street in twenty minutes, with clothing and other necessities –Cade' she'd gotten her bags packed, chucked them out the window and jumped down onto the garage roof then jumped down to the floor and sneaked off to the black Saleen Mustang at the end of the street all in ten minutes.

"You're early," his gruff voice sounded from the radio as she smiled

"Can you blame me?" she asked and he chuckled then drove off. Back to now...

"Please open the door?" He asked "Michelle, I did what I thought right!" he sighed "if you don't open the door now I'll kick the thing down," he warned, no answer... so he actually kicked the door making it swing open revealing an empty dark room with the window open.

----------------------------

Meanwhile, Dovespring had chucked all nervousness out of the imaginary window and pulled Roadrip into her quarters

"You sure about this?" he frowned and she silenced him with a passionate kiss, which ended up in a VERY intense bout of interfacing...

-----------------------------

YAY everyone got what they wanted! Even Cade and Michelle ;), bet'cha no-one saw the CadexMichelle thing coming eh:D
