Hey...so i'm still alive, school really caught up to me for a while, but i cut out ten minutes to write this really quick. So this will be kinda short, but chapter 18, two chapters left in the count down!

Shout outs

Knockout Starscream, I'm glad you take my words to heart, I can't wait for some more of your work, I'll PM you after posting this chapter

Equinus Prime, EVERYONE GO READ EP'S STORY IT'S WONDERFUL! THX TO AUTOBOTGUY FOR ALREADY DOING SO

temarcia, I'm not sure what you don't understand, if you'd like to PM me, i could probably clear it up, and not just any story is accepted, it has to be a story you worked your butt off on, one which you edit and rewrite and rough draft and draw fanart for (maybe thats a little dramatic but you get the point) no just anyone can come and say 'hey i write good, come read my stuff'writing is an art, and these stories must be masterpieces. Not just so people can read good stories and authors can get reviews, so the author can also get better and write something better than what they thought their potential was. If you want to add a story, make it mean something.

So there you have it guys, like said before this is kinda dying down, make sure in your own stories you're encouraging people to write, take your initiative, and do something good.

It's a short one shot, so so sorry. Remember secret, this is before she and my other character Jayla become friends, this is when they first meet.

Meetings were always kinda intense. Ironhide wouldn't say a thing unless it had to do with the front lines, other than that he would sit back and glare. Optimus wanted us to drive the meetings, so he wouldn't really be that beacon of light as always. Jazz and Prowl would always argue with the twins and Ratchet hit four bots and humans with wrenches, at least.

Tension was high, and glares hit everyone. Nitro and I always stood close together and close to us was Frequency and Scatter. The other two ex-neutrals we had met upon coming here.

Right now, the topic of the meeting was the attack on the Nevada base. One fourth of the group said we should send a small strike team, another fourth thought we should send a medic force, another fourth thinks we should send both. And the last fourth can't find secret. Yup, still can't find out what that means...

"Both would be more effective, in case their is still Con activity in the area or there are injured bots." Prowl said and Jazz nodded, with a determined look in his visor.

"That's a stretch of our already thin forces, the Con's haven't been sighted since the attack, so only medic should be required." Sunstreaker shot back.

"We don't need more medic at Nevada, and we don't have enough here as is, the strike team should be enough for heavy lifting and getting things back in order." Ratchet said griping his wrench tightly.

"This is all the way in Nevada, we need to worry about secret." Hound said adding his two cents, and Mirage agreed.

"Let's focus on a compromise." Lennox suggested. His comment was met with more shouting. I looked up at the broken ceiling again, my mind elsewhere. I wondered why they chose this room for meetings. The ceiling was missing and the forest-y jungle outside was growing in.

"Jayla, wheres you're head, we need your reason." Nitro said giving me a little shake. I looked up and noticed everyone was looking at me expectantly. I froze, they must have asked me something...

I was about to say something really 'intelligent' when a rustle of leaves interrupted me. Everyone's attention snapped upwards. more rustling... then a dark shape dropped from the branches and landed in a heap in the center of all of us. Surprisingly no one went for weapons, even Ironhide. Which i found odd. The figure stood up.

It was a girl, with a eye mask and hood. She had twigs and leaves in her messy brown hair. She gave a slight smile at the bots around me, and I noticed sharp little teeth. I raised an eyebrow, still no one seemed surprised.

"Secret, where have you been?" Optimus asked in a rumbling tone.

"Thought it fell over, but it wasn't dead just yet. Apricot didn't have any seashells today so I made my own from the rubber you left out front. Gotta find the blowtorch though, can't meld my sand castle without it." She answered quickly, before running off in another direction. She stopped halfway and turned back, to look straight at me.

"I haven't known you're face before." She finished, her green eyes glinting, before turning back around and continuing in the direction as before.

"What...Just...Happened?" I asked hesitantly. And the room broke into strange but needed laughter.

So, yeah, Secret's a little crazy...
