I'm sorry I haven't for a while. A lot of things have happened to me in the past few months. Most of you know that I lost my old computer to one hell of a virus. The full story on what happened and its outcome are on my profile. With everything else that has happened, the good news is I am now the proud aunt of Blake James. He was born March 4th to my oldest brother Mike. The bad news is my uncle (dad's brother) lost his home so his two oldest kids and my grandpa now live with me and my family. Things are getting really tough right now. I also have a poll up. It contains info about all my other stories. For that read my profile. I'm done ranting now so please enjoy the next chapter of Unknown Power.

(In the Forest- Blurr)

"I just know I'm going to die out here."

All by myself in this freaking forest while looking for an unstable power source that moves. I would rather take on Megatron by myself then spend my day looking for a youngling that has issues. The only bright side of all this was that the other kids were slowly coming to spend time with me. One of the boys, Rad I think, had been asking me questions about my gun has I cleaned it.

"If I do die out here then I got to make sure I come back to haunt them all."

I stopped all thoughts as I felt that someone was watching me. It was faint so they were barely touching my sense range. But before I could try and figure out who or what it was it disappeared. I took a quick glance in all directions before slowly walking forward once more. I needed to stop moaning to myself before she tried attacking me again.

I continued walking until I came across one of Ashley's little 'episodes'. I could now see why Optimus and the others were worried. This was quite a bit of damage for someone this young. As I was about to leave the area I felt myself being watched once more only this time they were a bit closer.

(Ashley)

I kept my distance and stayed in the shadows as I followed him. I wasn't expecting to see him out here this soon. I will say he is good at keeping himself hidden. I could tell he was doing some hard thinking but just like Scavenger he could put up some intimidating mental guards. I knew that he knew he was being followed at least and he didn't look very happy with that.

While he looked over an area I had destroyed, I took my time to examine him again. I couldn't help but feel pleased how he carried himself. He walked with confidence, pride and self-assurance. He was also a very good looking mech. It wasn't hard to tell that he had worked hard to get to where he was today. His high quality armor and weapons spoke of his talents.

When he was about to leave I let myself getting further into his personal space. If there was one thing I knew how mechs like him, it was that they hated having their bubble being invaded. I watched with amusement as he flinched when he felt my presence closer this time. Oh the fun I would be having with him for the next couple days.

(In the base two days later- Optimus)

It had been very entertaining watching Blurr these past few days. I knew Ashley was in the base. She had taken to following Blurr around. Only Scavenger and Red Alert knew she was here has well and they were just as amused as I was. We never saw her but we could tell when she was close because Blurr would either flinch or go very quiet and not move or speak for a couple minutes.

"I know you're all enjoying this."

I looked up from my reports. Blurr stood in the middle of the room looking over the monitors. My guess was Ashley wasn't in the room at the moment so he felt safe to talk. Scavenger and Red Alert were looking over battle plans. I shrugged my response before looking over the files again.

"Why is she stalking me? What did I do?"

"I have no idea why she is doing this. We have no idea what she is thinking."

"You could always ask Alexis."

We all turned to the doorway has Hot Shot walked in carrying some equipment. He put it where Red Alert told him to before looking back at Blurr.

"Alexis might know because she's a girl too. Remember that conversation you had with Carlos, Prime? He was asking you why a girl at his school, Carolina, was following him around and wouldn't leave him alone. Alexis was the one who told him why she was doing it. It might be best that you ask her to see if she'll give you an opinion."

I looked over at Blurr to see him looking thoughtful. Hot Shot walked out of the room and came in minutes later with Alexis following him. She looked a bit confused and just a little bit hesitant. Hot Shot picked her up and put her on the console next to Blurr.

"Blurr just has a few questions he wants to ask you Lexi."

Alexis smiled at her pet name Hot Shot had given her. He was the only one who got away with it as well. I have yet to figure out why the rest of us were forbidden from using it. She turned to Blurr with a small smile and a nod.

"I'm just trying to figure out why Ashley is stalking me. She won't leave me alone. She gets into my personal space, even though I can't see her. She is always nearby. I can always feel her and I know she thinks of this as some kind of game."

"Does she stare at you a lot?"

"I can never see her. The only time I have seen her is when we all caught her watching me the day I arrived. Ever since then I haven't seen her. She could be in this room right now but I won't know until she gets closer to my sensor range."

"Could you guys play the video file of that battle? I want to see what she did exactly."

"Sure let me load it up."

We all waited as Red Alert brought the file up. Once it started I watched Alexis's face. Up until Blurr arrived her face was blank but after that many different looks came upon her. First a look of concentration came as she studied it then came a look of shock, then understanding then came a burst of laughter that startled all of us. We all stared as Alexis clutched her belly as she tried to contain her giggles. Once she was done she wiped away the few tears that had leaked from her eyes before staring at the file once more. She looked down while shaking her head.

"I never would've expected that. I guess I'm not the only one then. But it just fits so well, just never would've thought it'd be Blurr."

"Would you mind sharing your thoughts with the mechs who are still very confused?"

"I think it would be better if you figure it out yourself Blurr."

"What! Why? I've spent the last couple days trying to figure her out. Just tell me why she's doing this."

"No Blurr. This something you've got to learn on your own. It might help you understand her more if you tried to figure it out. It's actually very simple if you think about it."

The room was filled with silence at Alexis's statement until the sound of someone sitting down made us turn to see Blurr now sitting in front of the monitors. I looked to see Scavenger and Red Alert with thoughtful expressions. Hot Shot just looked completely entertained as he watched the rest of us. Something told me he knew what Ashley had been doing the whole time. Alexis just smiled down at Blurr.

It was still quiet when Scavenger jerked but when his optics widened it meant that he had probably figured it out but before anything could be said Blurr's whole body stiffened which told us all that someone else was here.

(Scavenger)

So many different thoughts were running through my mind that I didn't notice my son's reaction to the other presence in the room. Of all the things I had thought would've done with this girl falling in love with my son wasn't one of them. I could see what their similarities were and there were quite a few of them. They both liked to be independent. They were both quiet and didn't like to be the center of attention. They liked to keep to themselves. They even had the same type of abilities, even if Blurr's were only minor and Ashley had more power to hers. The only differences I could see between the two of them were the fact they were from different species.

"I take it she now part of this conversation?"

I looked up from my thoughts to see the others searching the room before realizing that a certain someone else had joined in. I pinpointed her spot in one of the vents near the ceiling that could not be reached unless you were a flier. Blurr had sat down with his head in his hands now. He made a grunting noise before jerking himself from his seat and stalked out of the room. Seconds later another presence left the room.

"I'm gonna bet that it takes Blurr at least a week before he finally figures it out."

Scavenger now had a big smirk on his face that told everyone he was enjoying this immensely. I thought about before putting my two cents in.

"I'm gonna give it at least three days."

"I'm gonna give a week as well but he'll be begging Lexi here just to tell him."

Hot Shot was probably right. If Blurr didn't figure it out soon he would just continually bother Alexis until she would finally cave. But I seriously doubt it would take Blurr long to put the pieces together. I mean how long does it take to figure out that someone has a crush on you?

As you can tell a lot of fun is coming in the up coming chapters. Please leave a review.
