It was in the middle of the day, two weeks since Sideswipe had given me the bracelet. I was sitting in a swinging chair on the porch, having enjoyed the rain that had just passed over. At this moment, I was enjoying the fresh smells off the grass. At the sound of heavy footsteps on the wooden planks, I looked up from the book I'd been reading; it was called The Notebook, and Nicholas Sparks had written it. I thought he was a really good author; my mother used to read his books to me. Looking up, I smiled when I saw Sideswipe walking up onto the porch. He smiled back, but to me, it seemed as though he was forcing it, making it more of a grimace of anything else. "Hey Sideswipe, what's wrong?" I asked him, frowning slightly. I was suddenly worried when he didn't immediately respond, and his eyes betrayed the hidden turmoil within himself.

Sideswipe sat next to me in the empty seat of the swinging chair. When I put my head on his shoulder, I could see where the chains from the chair were bolted into the porch ceiling. We said nothing for a few moments, relaxing against each other. "Sideswipe..." I said hesitantly, breaking the silence as I started to think my words through

"Yes?" he replied, sounding slightly inquisitive to my ears.

"Have you ever thought about aliens in other universes?" I asked him, sneaking a side-glance up at him.

"Well, actually not ever. Why?" he asked, and he tilted his head down a bit to get a better look at me.

Because I know you're an alien and I think I might love you. Damn it Lauren, you cannot be in love with the enemy! I mentally berated myself, but aloud I said a little airily, "Oh, nothing at all. You know, I was just wondering--" I cut myself off at the sound of tires crunching against the gravel. Looking up, I gasped at the sight of a familiar black police cruiser with a familiar figure leaning against the vehicle. I let out a squeal of delight when the figure looked up to make eye contact with me.

"BARRICADE!" I shouted, startling Sideswipe. I got up from my perch and jumped down from the porch, running to Barricade who was not looking happy at all. I hugged Barricade and he hugged me back and I let out another squeal. "I missed you Barricade! you have no idea how hard it is for me to be away from Florida" I was over exaggerating a little but hey who cares I havent seen my almost second father like figure I know I havent. "I know and I missed you too" Barricade purred next to my ear.

I let out a laugh and smiled bigger then before but my smile faded a little when Sideswipe walked down the steps. "Lauren whose this?" Sideswipe and Barricade both asked at the same time. "Okay sideswipe barricade and barricade sideswipe" I pointed to them as I introduced them to each other they didnt shake hands they just glared at each other. I got a feeling that a fight might happen so I stepped between them and put my hands on each of their chests and lightly pushed them away. "Lauren how do you know Barricade?" Sideswipe asked me and before I could answer Barricade answered for me "I helped her grow up with her parents." Barricade put his arm around my shoulders.

"Lauren something happened to your uncle" Sideswipe told me. The next thing happened too quickly for me to even to get out of the way. Barricade well disappeared and so did Sideswipe and the next thing after that the two vehicles transformed and started a big alien death match.

Oh come on!! I thought to myself and sighed realy loudly and I was getting frustrated so I put two fingers in my mouth and whistled realy loudly and the fight stopped and both stopped fighting.

I sighed loudly "You calm down andd you stop punching the other one because I dont like violence andd STOP SNARLING AT EACH OTHER!!!!!" I pointed and demanded then eventually Yelled and when that didn't stop I used the next best thing I fake cried. Now that I started crying they stopped whatever they were doing and well lets just say 6 extra giant aliens joined and started pounding on Barricade. I just started walking away not caring that they aren't paying attention anymore well except when Starscream joined the picture and landed next to me and thats when I yelled up at the clouds "GOD WHY DO YOU WANT TO RUIN MY LIFE!!!" Just then Sideswipe I'm guessing or Prowl I dont know I lost track of the bots there so I continued walking away.

I feel like some bad ass supervillian walking away from a bunch of explosions and not looking back..kind of like Joker in Batman 2: The Dark Knight I thought and eventually Starscream and Barricade flew off and do what decepticons do best..Nothing... Soon enough Sunstreaker Sidesiwpes brother found me and took me to see the team. I got out and saw Optimus Prime in his true form and lets just say its huge! After everyone got done getting fixed by Ratchet I'm guessing then thats when the bot encircled me in a big ass one too. I gazed up in awe and jumped a little bit from hearing someone speak and I turned to Optimus who was speaking.

He asked me a simple question where was I for 3 days before I came to the base.. I gulped thinking about it for a minute and took a deep breath in "I was at the Decepticon's base" If all of them were humans they would have gasped in shock. "Deceptipunk" Ironhide muttered and I looked down ashamed. "Why were you at the Decepticon base Lauren" Optimus asked and got in my face like in his face across from I bit back a yelp. "Barricade took me there to help me recover faster and I did not swear loyalty to them at all" I said and Optimus well he looked passive but the one that scared me the most was Ironhide and his big ass cannons whirling and whining. "How do you know barricade?" Optimus asked.

"he practically raised me! When my mom and dad weren't there to help me he was there but he's been distant ever since I told him where Megatron was he started to ignore me and when he came back all beat up I cried so hard for him" I looked down to the ground and bit my lip and I could feel my eyes turning pearly color when I get nervous. "You told him where Megatron was?! How did you know?!" This time it wasnt Optimus it was surprisingly my uncle walking towards me. He got me and grabbed my collars of my shirt and "How did you know about the Decepticons and where Megatron was" my uncle yanked me and I let a smirk on my lips "Your brother my father was a foolish man" and Smack! I felt my cheek stinging and I bet it was getting red.

"Tell me the whole story now" My uncle practically growled at me.
