The walk back to my room was a very quiet one. Not even my mind was thinking. I just walked slowly down the hall. I couldn't think of leaving the Autobots, I couldn't put it but thought of leaving them made my heart hurt. Okay, maybe I was thinking a little. Then another thought came into my head, why did Ratchet pick me up so quickly and hold me so close to him? From what I saw, he never acted the way he does with me to the others not even Raf. And the way he rubbed my back made me think that he was … No don't think like that! He's an Autobot, an alien robot, and I was a human. Something like that wasn't natural and it wouldn't work out. Pushing the thoughts away, I saw that I had finally reached my room and the larger door was open. Walking in casually, I found the others with Bulkhead trying to put something together. "Was it put joint 'A' with joint 'B' or was it 'AB' to 'CE'?" I heard Miko ask with a confused look on her. "I don't know, this guide paper isn't helping at all." Bulkhead said as he turned the paper on its side, in an attempt to help read it better. "Maybe you guys should put 'AB' with 'GH'?" I said jokingly and gained everyone's attention. "Bout time you got here. What did you and the big guy talk about?" Miko asked as she pulled apart a metal rod. "Nothing really. The reason I was gone so long was because I met your Agent friend." Jack laughed and put aside one of the pieces he was working on. "I was wondering how they were going to introduce you to him. How did he take it?" I rolled my eyes and groaned. "He didn't like the idea of me staying here and nearly tore me out of Ratchet's hands to take me away for questioning. And plus he called me a boy. I do not look like a boy." No one spoke, either they rubbed the back of their heads or mumbled something to themselves. "What?! I don't look a boy… Do I?" Raf shook his hand sideways. "From the front you don't. When you first crashed into me though I thought you were until you started talking." I let my mouth drop, he wasn't serious. "if you let your hair down more than you wouldn't but I have to agree with Raf. You look like Jack with a hoody." Miko said as she played with her hair. I sighed and unzipped my jacket and tossed it aside. My hair dropped out of my hood and I gave it a quick shake. "Better?" I asked and everyone nodded. Giving a giggle to them I sat down next to Bulkhead and took a look at what they were working on. "Is this the bed?" I asked and Miko nodded. "How come you had to pick the hardest bed to make Julie?" I shrugged and took a piece in my hands. "This looks like it goes here and that piece you have Raf goes with the one Miko has." Raf and Miko shared glances before they put the two pieces together. "They do. You're really good at this Julie." Raf said and I smiled. "Let's get this over with now. Jack that one near your foot goes with this one here."

After a while, we finished with my bed and we all smiled at our work. "That took less time than I thought it would." Jack said as he and Miko looked in awe at my bed. "Are you guys sure that's a bed? Isn't it missing something's?" Bulkhead asked but I shook my head. "It's supposed to be like that. It's called a hammock." And I was right, the one I had chosen was indeed a hammock. It was supported by a metal bar body and it hung in the air swaying slightly. The cloth was a lovely shade of blue and the pillows were black to match the blanket. "I think it's neat. I have never heard of anyone sleeping in one of these before." Jack said. "I always like to sleep in these things and the shop owner had it on sale with the pillows and blanket. He even through in a few stuff animal for free for me." Walking over to a paper bag, I pulled out the stuffed animals that the shop owner had given me. A large plush whale doll and a fluffy wolf with two colored eyes. "That was nice of him. Why did he do that?" Bulkhead asked as I let him see the whale. "he said that I had such a pretty face that he could let me go with giving me something." I smiled and placed the animals in the hammock. "Hey Julie, what are you going to do with this?" looking over at Miko, I saw that she had my one prized property. My blue blanket was in her hands and she was tossing it around like it was garbage. "Are you going to throw it out. It should have been a long time ago, it looks like it was fried and torn all in one." I rushed over to her and snatched it from her quickly . "That is never going to be thrown away. Never." I had a bit of anger in my voice because of the way Miko messed with it and how she called it garbage. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. Why do you like that thing so much?" I sighed, control your anger Juliana. "It's the only thing I have left of my family." The room fell silent. "Sorry Julie, I didn't know." I smiled and placed my blanket around my shoulders. "It's okay, most don't." Raf and Jack looked at my blanket and I could tell what they wanted to ask. "Why are there burn marks on it?" Raf asked rubbing one of the burn marks gently. "The reason my family's gone is because there was a fire. The whole house burned down. I was the only survivor." Everyone's expression saddened at this. "How did you survive?" Bulkhead asked. "I don't know. Most of that day is a blur. All I do remember is waking up in a pile of ash covered in this blanket. I was only 8 at the time." Silence took us again but I quickly broke it with a smile. "But now I have something even better. I have friends who care and that's enough for me." Everyone joined me in smiling and we continued to work on my room.

After we put everything up, we heard a knock and saw Ratchet standing in the still open door way. "I see you have gotten situated." We nodded and looked at our work. I had a bunch of pictures of animals on the walls, a stool for my tree, a small desk/dresser we built with a lamp on it, a blue rug lay down next to my hammock, and I had placed my hair brush and hair ties on the desk. It wasn't much but I liked how it looked. "Yeah, just finished. Did you need something Ratchet?" I asked. "Just came to see how you were doing Juliana. And your parents called to tell you kids to head home." Ratchet said pointing to Jack, Miko, and Raf. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow guys." I said as I watched them leave my room. "See you later Julie." "Later girl." "Bye Juliana" they all said to me and I waved back. Noticing that Ratchet hadn't left yet, I walked over to the Medic. "Anything else Ratchet?" I smiled as I watched him trying to find his words. "Uh, no. not really. Unless you want to come with me while I work on some plans?" I nodded, I had nothing better to do. Ratchet placed his hand out for me and we went out to the computers. As we made it, I notice that Ratchet slowed when he placed me next to the railing; like he didn't want to put me down. "What time is it?" I asked out of curiosity. "About 9:30 p.m. earth time." I nodded. Sitting down on the railing I watched as Ratchet went to work on this plans. The sounds of his fingers touching the computer's keypad were soft but you could still hear the metal joints click together every time he bent his fingers. Soft clicks came every time he pressed down on a button and with every click a picture or letter would pop up.

After a while, my eyes began to flutter and I was yawning every other minute. "I think it's best if you went to bed Juliana." I turned around to see Ratchet holding his hand out for me. "We haven't been out that long. Just let me stay here a little longer please?" But Ratchet shook his head and gently pushed me into his hand. "We've been here for three hours Juliana. It's late, time for you to get some rest." I was kind of shocked at how long I had been there with Ratchet but I was too tied to care. As Ratchet walked me into my room, he gently placed me in my hammock under my blanket. "Thanks Ratchet." I said with a yawn and closed my eyes. "Goodnight Juliana. Sleep well." And with a quiet shutter, Ratchet shut off the lights and closed my door. A smile came across my face at how comfy and warm I felt in my hammock and I was soon asleep.
