~Six Hours Later~

I fell asleep after an hour of riding in Barricade. The sound of a door opening and a bunch of girls screaming woke me up, making me bolt up in my seat wondering, What the hell or who the hell is that! I slipped outside the cruiser and looked around, only to find my friends Meghan and Angela standing there. I got out and I was tackled with a billion hugs from my two best friends.

I smiled and hugged back, thinking, O MY GOD MY TWO BEST FRIENDS ARE HERE! Meghan took one hand and Angela took the other and they dragged me to a car nearby, and my eyes went huge like saucers. "Woah Meghan, I didn't know you were the Mustang type. I always thought you were the truck type of person," I said in shock. Meghan and Angie laughed.

"Lauren, you know Danny?" Angie asked me and I nodded an affirmative. "Well, heaskedmeout!I'msoexcited!" Angie said so fast that it came out as one word. I blinked for a few seconds and then understood what she said.

"That's great Angie!" I replied with fake enthusiasm.

Great, all my friends have boyfriends and I dont have one… well I kinda do but I dont think he would ask me out because the whole interspecies thing wouldn't work out , I thought. "Lauren has any of the military guys asked you out yet?" Meghan asked, oblivious to my thoughts.

No I thought but I smiled and said "yes". I was obviously lying but who cared?

"What's his name?" Angie asked me. Sideswipe "Thomas" I replied but I was still thinking of Sideswipe.

"Ooh, Thomas sounds old fashioned, is he British or American?" Meghan and Angie asked at the same time. Neither, he's an alien robot who I like but I can't date because I am a human and he is a giant alien robot. He is also considered my enemy "Both, he's from Britain but he moved to America when he was young" I replied, once again lying to my friends.

"Does he have a British accent?" Meghan asked curiously.

"Guys, I really don't wanna tell you since I want to keep it on DL" I hissed, getting angry because of the constant questions. Meghan and Angie stopped asking questions and I got in the mustang when Meghan gestured for me to do so.

Meghan just drove to her house in silence. When we got there, we got out and all walked into her house. A strange woman greeted us, and I looked at Meghan in curiosity. She muttered "New step-mom" to me.

The woman was petite with striking green eyes that shined with her blond hair and her overly tanned body. She looked at me and smiled. "Hello! I don't think I've met you before, but my name is Andrea!" she said, introducing herself.

I introduced myself too. "Hi to you too! I've never met you either, but my name is Lauren. I came from my uncle's." Of course Meghan's dad always date girls whose names always starts with an 'A' or 'C' I thought, still smiling.

Andrea's smile faded a bit, but she turned to Meghan. "Meg, your father and I are going out, so no wild parties or else!" Andrea told Meghan. I looked at Andrea suspiciously with her blond hair and petite frame. Meghan merely nodded in consent, and then led Angie and I up to her room. Angie went to the bathroom and Meghan turned to me and suddenly glared at me.

"I can't believe Barricade told me about what you did to the communicator! You know if Megatron found out he will kill the whole town!" Meghan said with such venom in her voice that I looked down, tears forming in my eyes.

I looked back up at her, something clicking in my mind. "How long have you been in the Decepticons' grip, Meg?" I asked with just as much venom in my voice.

She just glared at me for a few seconds. "Two months, you?" she asked.

"Um... about three years, but I was just there in the ranks until Megatron told me of a new assignment, which was to spy on the Autobots. But I-"

Meghan interrupted me. "But what? You got emotionally compromised?" I looked down again, ashamed.

"You got emotionally compromised!" Meghan yelled in a harsh whisper.

"Yes. His name is Sideswipe. If you knew how he was and the others were, you would get attached to them like I did to Sideswipe. He's probably going crazy because of me and my uncle's 'disappearance', " I explained, but Meghan just looked at me with silent horror. I felt like I needed to cry.

"You know what Megatron will do! He would murder you, me, Sideswipe, and the whole town!" Again Meghan used the harsh whisper.

"I know that Meg! But I'm leaving the Cons and going to the Autobots because I can't live in fear anymore!" I yelled, pulling my phone out but Meghan grabbed my phone.

"You will not leave the Cons and you will not have this whole innocent town killed" Meghan said coldly. Reaching snapping point, I slapped her and grabbed my phone from her hand and ran out of the house. As I left, I called Sideswipe in desperation.

:Heyo this is Sideswipe: Sideswipe answered

:Hey Sides, it's me: I managed to get out after a few shaky breaths.

:Lauren! Is that really you! Thank Primus! Are you alright?: Sideswipe exclaimed in relief and started asking me questions.

:I'm alright, and I managed to escape the Cons. I'm in Florida: I answered.

:Okay, I'll get a recovery team to come and get you and your uncle: Sideswipe told me.

:My uncle isn't with me, it's just me: I told Sideswipe

:Oh. Ironhide is not going to be happy about that..: Sideswipe muttered. I snorted trying not to laugh, wondering if Ironhide was tearing the base apart or something.

:So? Do you think you can get me?: I asked, sounding slightly frazzled.

:Yah, Jazz should get there right about... now: Sideswipe said in a dry tone. Turning around, I saw Jazz there with his holoform smirking in the driver's seat.

:Yeah, I see him now. Thanks Sides, I'll see you when I get there: I said in a shocked but tired tone and hung up and got in Jazz's passenger seat.

"Hey," said Jazz as I buckled in.

"Hey," I said back before leaning against the seat and closing my eyes. Who knew all of this would happen to me and my 'friends'… if they can be called that now, I thought, opening my eyes again and staring off in space. Jazz meanwhile started to play U + UR Hand by P!nk.

I laughed when I saw Jazz dancing in his seat, and then smiled really big when he started to lip-sync to the song. I soon joined him in the fun, and as we drove along, the other drivers on the road just looked at us like we were crazy. I just stuck my tongue at them and continued to have fun until the song ended and the next song, Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha started! I let a whoop escape my lips and started singing along. The time passed quickly, and soon enough we were on the plane to Diego Garcia.

The soldiers on the tarmac just looked at me like I was weird because I was singing the song while exiting the plane. Ratchet, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Ironhide made up my greeting party, and I just kept humming the song. Ratchet scanned me over and said that physically I was fine. Ironhide muttered something about putting me in the brig, but Sides just turned on his holoform and we both hugged.

"Lauren, I missed you so much" Sideswipe said to me and my heart fluttered.

"I missed you too" I said, about to cry.

Sideswipe sighed, and said, "Lauren, I don't know how to phrase this but… I love you." When he said he loved me, I froze up in shock. "Uhh did I do something wrong?" Sideswipe asked stuttering a little a bit when he saw my silence.

"Nothing's wrong, Sideswipe, it's just that I'm really surprised." I replied while looking into his eyes and him looking into mine. We leaned close and our lips touched softly. It felt like the kiss happened for three minutes tops before I broke it off, not really wanting to, but Sideswipe understood. "Sides, I need to go home because I'm tired" I told him quietly. He just nodded and led me to his car form where I fell asleep in his passenger seat.

Sideswipe knew what would happen tomorrow, but his feelings had overwhelmed him and he kissed Lauren Lennox.

/Sides, that wasn't a good move/ Sunstreaker sent to Sideswipe.

/I know Sunny, but would it actually happen? Her forgetting, what would happen?/ Sideswipe was in doubt with himself, and he got the distinct impression that Sunstreaker shook his helm yes. He drove Lauren home and when he got there, he turned on his holoform. He picked her up and put her in her bed. After he got Lauren in her room, he walked down to the living room, and into the kitchen where he sat down at the counter.

Ratchet buzzed Sideswipe. /How is the change of Lauren doing?/ he asked Sideswipe.

Sideswipe replied, /She's emotionally and physically drained, so she's asleep. Don't worry, I'm at the house keeping watch for Decepticons, and am waiting for Ironhide to come/

On Ratchet's end of the com link he sighed a little and told Sideswipe the bad news. /Ironhide is with Prime, and they are going after the Decepticons along with a small team of humans./

Sideswipe groaned and he replied, /Well, slag 'cause I just kissed her and, well, she's asleep so I might need your help Hatchet/

OOOOOOOOO KISSING :) LAUREN + SIDES COUPLING :D Never expected that well I knew but you didnt ;) Anyways REVIEWWWW!
