Andrew sighed as he watched his cousin fiddle about, telling him how he'd love Angel Grove and, of course, she'd be there to hang out with him if he needed it.

Kimberly Hart looked at her quiet cousin but she guessed he was being moody and she wasn't going to let him be like that, she'd talk to the others.

The next day Andrew was walking slowly to school, he recalled that a friend of Jonathon's had moved here but even that didn't mean a thing now, he felt distant from the rest of humanity but he didn't know why, the guy didn't look familiar to him but as a face in the crowd.

They tried to befriend him and the guy even told him about Jonathon and how Jonathon had missed him but Andrew didn't feel connected to him or anything like that, he said his name was what? Xander? Yeah, that was it.

As Andrew left Billy said, "Kimberly, give him time."

As Andrew walked past the garbage dump he saw an old motorbike laying near a pile and felt a pulse of something from the motorbike calling him, he walked towards it and wondered what was drawing him to it.

The bike was interesting and he wondered if he could work on it or something, he quickly found the owner of the dump, paid him and dragged the motorbike to a little workshop the man said he could use.

The workshop was nice the man said he could come in whenever he wanted as his worthless nephew never came here so he could use it at his leisure.

Now Andrew was curious, he wasn't even that mechanically inclined and here he was grabbing tools and building something, he realized that he was working faster than he thought was possible.

It was late in the evening when he finished the bike, he looked at his watch and froze, 'It's midnight? Oh god, Kimberly's going to ream me out. At least it's the weekend not a weekday, night?'

He looked at the bike, it wasn't a rusting heap now but a sleek and a deep violet bike and it wore a weird symbol on the chassis. Andrew mused that he could now drive it home.

He got on it and felt a spark go through his body, he revved his bike up and he loved her, she seemed definitely feminine to him. He got out of the workshop and drove home.

When he got home he saw Kimberly looking around worriedly but when she saw him the look of worry go away and turn to one of fury as he rode in on the bike.

Kimberly looked at him and said, "Andrew, where were you? I was so totally worried about you. You're lucky but come on, my friends are here for a bit of a slumber party."

Andrew swore that the bike laughed as he drove it into the garage.

Kimberly said, "Andrew, my mom and dad aren't going to let you keep that, you know?"

"But I just put her together," Andrew said, "Umm, maybe I can talk to them?"

She nodded and as he was led in he saw her friends, which he didn't even know who they were yet as he hadn't really listened to her when she introduced them to him.

He went upstairs to his room to get some sleep.

Kimberly looked at them and said, "I'm not sure why he's so antisocial."

Xander looked up and said, "Give him time, he's a Sunnydale boy. Hell, it took me some time to get used this town too."

"But," Aisha said, "You did your best to become friends."

"And," Rocky added, "You also know our secret and you've helped us out."

Kimberly frowned and said, "He stayed out until midnight, working on a motorbike."

"Wait!" Xander said, "Jonathon told me about him: Andrew's a bit out there but he's not good with machines or really knowledgeable about machines."

"Let's see the motorbike," Tommy said, "I know a bit about bikes."

They walked out and saw the bike, Billy nodded impressed and said, "If he did this then he might be hiding his talents from people."

Tommy touched the bike and said, "Hmm, metal feels nice, I'd have to turn it on to see how it works but I hate the colour though."

As they left Billy looked back and swore the Bike was trying to mock them.

As Andrew slept he dreamt of floating lights and he heard a voice say, "When a spark comes online, the universe rejoices but when it goes offline, the universe weeps."

One of the lights floated towards him and shone brightly as it entered his chest and glowed brightly as it flowed throughout his body, Andrew heard, "Where all are one."

The next day Andrew woke up and saw that it was bright outside, he looked at his watch and found that it was near ten in the morning, he walked downstairs and saw he was alone as Kimberly and her friends were gone, he saw a note from his aunt and uncle saying that he could keep the bike, they'd talk about rules later.

He found another note from Kimberly saying that they were all going to be at the mall and he could join them if he wanted.

As he walked to the garage he saw the bike waiting for him.

"Hey girl," Andrew said, "You were left alone by the others last night?"

Andrew leapt back in shock as the bike suddenly shifted into a female figure that had glittering violet eyes, she said, "Hi dad."

"Ummm, what?" Andrew stammered out, "What do you mean 'dad?'"

She smiled and said, "You built me and gave me life dad."

"Umm, how?" Andrew stammered, "How did I do this?"

"I don't know," she said, "But anyways dad, I spent the whole night on the web learning how to speak."

Andrew looked at her and said, "So, I'm your father?"

She nodded and said, "Yeah, you are but I have to ask you a question, is that alright?"

"Of course," Andrew said, "What is it?"

"Cool," she said, "Do I have a name father?"

She looked at him hopefully and Andrew mused, "Alright, your name, I didn't think of a name for you. What would you like your name to be?"

"Oh, totally cool, thanks dad," she said, "My name's Arcee, I like the name."

Andrew smiled and said, "Alright Arcee, what do you want to do now?"

"Well, we could explore the town," Arcee said, "I mean your friends were going to the mall, we could totally explore somewhere else."

Andrew made a face and said, "Alright, I guess we can do that, if you want Arcee?"

She transformed and Andrew said, "So, where to?"

"The mall," she said, "Come on dad, I want to see if there are any more like me. Do other humans build beings like me?"

"No," Andrew said, "I think I built you but I don't know how I did it either, someone threw the bike out and I felt connected to you and built you."

Arcee looked sad until Andrew hugged her and said, "I'll build others, I bet honey."

"Well, umm, alright dad," she said, "Now do you like being called father or dad?"

"Father," Andrew said softly, "I guess, either or works."

"Okay dad," Arcee said happily.

As Andrew rode on top of Arcee he realized that she was smooth, he didn't know what she ran on but she didn't seem to be running on gasoline or anything like that.

"So," he said, "Do you know how to get to this mall?"

Arcee nodded and said, "Father, yeah, I monitor the web and I'm using the map to get to the mall."

"Umm," Andrew said, "You know I don't think we have robots walking about here."

"Oh?" She said, "What about the Power Rangers?"

"Power what and what now?" Andrew asked, "I have no idea who you're talking about."

"They're a group of heroes apparently," Arcee said, "They're fighting against a sorceress but I don't know how it started though."

Andrew smiled and said, "Not our problem I think, so you're going to stay here while I do something in the mall?"

Arcee smiled and said, "Let's figure out what to do father and maybe you could explain what this red symbol means."

Andrew looked at it and said, "I have no idea but this all started when I went hiking with my dad and something happened, I need to find out what happened to me."

"Then dad," she said, "I'll help you, we'll go to where you disappeared. When we can get away from your cousin?"

Andrew's eyes turned a brilliant blue with words flowing in them and he nodded, "Alright Arcee."
