Author's Note: This takes place at the beginning of Chapter Eleven. Thanks to I am Blueberry, hidansgirl1234, and Riptide2 for reviewing the last chapter. Since I forgot to put this at the beginning of the first chapter here are the user names and characters; AutobotKaela-Mikaela, HiddenStrength- Sam, BadGirl- Mallory, and DarkSideOfTheLaw- Barricade
The next day Mikaela's phone beeped at lunch at the same time as Sam's signaling there was a new post on The Connection. Both hurriedly logged in to see it.
Homeschooled
So being homeschooled out here isn't so bad. There's a couple large Hispanic families that live on either side of the house, in the distance at the edge of the enormous property, and they've been teaching me how to play street soccer in the dirt road this summer. I'm getting good...at least according to them. Miss home and school though...
AutobotKaela: Miss you too BadGirl. Glad you're making some friends though! You had too few here
HiddenStrength: Ditto. That's what I was going to say but my better half beat me to it.
AutobotKaela: Better half? Aww, you're so sweet!
BadGirl: Thanks guys. Miss you!
AutobotKaela: So where's DarkSide?
BadGirl: Recharging hopefully. He has his own internet access and he keeps hacking mine to comment. It's slowing my computer down.
DarkSideOfTheLaw: Deal with it angel
That was when the lunch bell rang and both Mikaela and Sam had to put away their phones and head to class. In every other class that day Mikaela thought about Mallory and the blog. Her twin sounded lonely and the blog felt lonely without more people on it. Maybe she could convince her twin to allow some of the Autobots and Will and Sarah Lennox, or at least Sarah, on The Connection. As soon as school was out she told her idea to Sam who thought it was a good idea. As soon as they slipped into Bumblebee she pulled up her email on her phone and emailed Mallory.
To: Mallory Banes (mallory_)
From: Mikaela Banes (mikaela_)
Subject: More people?
I thought that you might want to add a few more people to The Connection that have heard the full story and aren't even angry at you. Bumblebee, Sarah Lennox, Jazz, and Optimus mainly. I can text you their emails if you want to give it a try. Love, 'Kaela
Moments later Mallory emailed back telling Mikaela that even though her twin had new friends Mallory was still lonely and eager to grow the blog

Subject: RE:More people?
YES! Please do and soon!
Mikaela grinned and showed the message to Sam who laughed. "I guess she really was lonely," Sam said and Mikaela nodded.
