Another quickie chapter for you people to read. This one though it was a little longer but at least I got it down quickly. On the bright side, this chapter didn't take longer then all the others I done in the other story. In the other chapter another review from Dark Maiden95 and the hit counter is at 86 hits. So this story is getting some edge in the whole thing. Thought I don't know why other readers aren't sending me any reviews what so ever. I appreciate them reading my story its just that they should respond about anything I should do to fix it up. Well let's see what they think about this chapter. Heading to chapter five, Sari realizes that the clothes that she has was that when she was a child. She needs to get some new clothes for her teenage body so she won't wear the same dress everyday. What hilarity will ensue? Let's take a looky loo shall we?

Chapter Notes

Now I know that Sari in the series where the same clothes in almost every episode with the exception of the winter attire from the Nature Calls episode and the sleepwear in the Rise of the Constructicons episode. Even on season three she wears a teenage version of her dress, which acts as some type of camo for her robot battle mode. But for some reason, I think she wears more then that. And whether you agree or not, this one would be one of my most complex chapters yet. For one, I had to figure out what's fashionable for teenagers. For another, I had to make sure that everything looks a little accurate. This is also a comedic chapter since we're talking about an upgraded Sari looking for Teenage clothes since she's now a teenager, and Prof. Sumdac trying to except the fact that her daughter is entering a new territory without going through the things young girls go through. And trust me, this is going to be a good one.

Chapter Five: Shopping Spree

The next day, Sari continued to clean and repair her room that Masterson created. So far, her room was looking more like her old room but showed some signs of Masterson's dirty work. There were still a few things that she needs to take care of. One of the things was her closet. Through out the closet, there were piles of dirty clothes and lab coats Masterson always use. All of which smells and had nothing but unknown stains on them. Going into her closet, she grabs the clothes in bunches and threw them into the hamper her father gave her. Smelling the clothes, she turned her head away and scrounged up her face.

Sari: "P.U… This stuff reeks! I'm guessing it was months since Masterson used a washer."

So she continued to bring piles of clothes to the hamper and tired not to pass out on the smell of them. After a couple of minutes, she managed to get all those clothes out of the way. Wiping her hands together, she smiled at her accomplishment.

Sari: "Done and done. Glad I got that out of the way. Now I just gotta some air fresheners and we're all set."

She turned to her now empty closet and noticed that there were some of her old clothes left. But that's when she noticed something off. Being that she is a teenager, she couldn't wear those types of clothes anymore. All that was in there were the yellow sun dresses and rain boots she always wears constantly. And that's the problem. Being that she's a little older, all of her old clothes wouldn't fit her anymore. Starring at her closet, she sighed to herself and knew this was bound to happen.

Sari: "Looks like I'm going to need to get some new clothes. These old ones won't do at all."

As she was thinking about it, the door opened and Sumdac came in to see how she's doing.

Prof. Sumdac: "Sari, how are you doing with your room?"

When he looked around, he noticed that the room was half finished. Smiling at this, he approached her daughter and was proud of her.

Prof. Sumdac: "Well it looks like you're almost finished. It almost looks like your old room. We just need to repair of few things Masterson did and repaint the walls and it will be good as new. I might also have to add a few things as well to your room, make it look like that of a teenager."

The moment she heard her father said that, she decided to come in and ask him for a favor.

Sari: "Yeah… About that dad. I was thinking that maybe we should go shop for some new clothes for me."

Immediately, Sumdac turned to his daughter and was now nervous. It's one thing helping her daughter fix her room, its another shopping for clothes for her. Especially since she went from being a kid to teenage in ten seconds flat without going through puberty or periods. So he decided to play it safe and told her daughter to not do anything too drastic.

Prof. Sumdac: "Um… Why do you want new clothes Sari? Don't you think your old ones are suitable for you?"

Sari placed her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes around.

Sari: "Dad, my clothes won't fit this body. I mean, I'm a teenager for crying out loud! I need to get some clothes that's my age. Besides, I've been stuck wearing the same clothes for days. I really need to freshen up my look."

Sumdac was a little worried about this and didn't know what to do now.

Prof. Sumdac: "But…"

Sari: "But nothing dad. If I'm able to get use to this new life, I need to get some new clothes. And that's FINAL! Now let's go."

She then stormed out of her room and left him behind. At the same time, Professor Sumdac starred on and was shocked by this. Not only did her daughter's body had changed, but also her attitude and tone. Sumdac sighed to himself and was afraid this would actually happen.

Prof. Sumdac: "Oh dear… My daughter is growing up fast. Way to fast. What am I going to do?"

As he was thinking about that, he heard his daughter's voice booming through the hallway.

Sari: "DAD! Are you coming or not?"

Her father looked at the door and groaned to himself.

Prof. Sumdac: "Coming!"

He then left Sari's room and was worried on what would happen when they enter the mall.

At the mall in Detroit, everyone was getting ready for the holidays. The decorations were all set up, the tree was in place, and Santa was at the chair taking pictures with little kids. All over the mall, people were going through shops buying the presents they need for their families and friends. But there are two family members that were busy doing another kind of shopping. Those two were the Sumdacs, who have two opposite sides of the whole thing. For Sari Sumdac, she was looking at all the cool fashions for teenagers.

Sari: "Wow! Look at that dress! That looks so cool!"

But for Issac Sumdac, it's a sign of regret. As he looked at all the displays on the window, he sighed and didn't like the prices.

Prof. Sumdac: "I don't know Sari. They look too expensive. Maybe we should find something a little simpler."

Sari looked at her father and glared at him.

Sari: "Dad, that dress is 30% off. How could you call that expensive when there's a sale going on? I mean we're getting to Christmas right?"

Issac looked at her daughter and agreed with her.

Prof. Sumdac: "That might be true. But I have to be sure that the prices here don't burn a hole in my wallet."

Sari cocked an eyebrow and finds her father's actions to be a little suspicious.

Sari: "Dad, you're a wealthy and well known scientist that worked on Automatons when you were a kid with billions of dollars in your bank account. Don't tell me you don't want to spend it on your daughter's clothing."

There was a bit of silence as Sumdac tried to come up with a way to get out of this.

Prof. Sumdac: "No, absolutely not! I do care for you Sari, and I would do anything to keep you happy. But this idea of shopping for teenage clothing. Sometimes I'm worried that you would get over obsessive over it and I might start to spoil you is all."

Sari listened to him and shrugged her shoulders.

Sari: "Oh Puleeeaase dad! You really think I would become a complete princess. Just cause I have a teenage body doesn't mean I would turn into an overly obsessive teen beauty. I won't do anything like that to you. I'm just going to buy a few things and that's it. Don't worry about-"

But before she could finish, she noticed something at the father end and screamed in delight.

Sari: "40% off of rhymstones jewelry! So cheap, yet so good!"

She rushed to the jewelry section and checked the prices of them. Sumdac just looked on at his daughter and didn't like what she was doing.

Prof. Sumdac: "This is going to be a long day…"

He followed his daughter and hoped that she doesn't go overboard on her shopping.

In the dressing room, Sumdac was waiting outside while his daughter started to change clothes. Slumping on the bench, he twittled his fingers and was scared at what she was going to do. After hours to looking for good clothes, she wanted to try them on to see how they look. And that's the one thing he dreads the most. Having her daughter try on clothes that she might like and ultimately want to keep them. And as with every father, he's worried that if she liked it, he has to pay for them. And he understands how much the clothes cost in total. Long story short, with teenagers and fashion, they would never get enough. As he was contemplating this issue, he heard her daughter's voice through the doors.

Sari: "Hey dad? Do you know how to work snap these bras? These things are a little hard to attach in the back."

Issac groaned and rubbed the temples of his head, fearing the worse for ware.

Prof. Sumdac: "This is my worse nightmare imaginable."

After calling the employer at the clothes shop to help her daughter on how to fasten a bra strap, he waited to see what the first pieces of clothing she has on now. After five minutes of waiting, Sari came out and showed her father her fashion.

Sari: "Well, here's my first outfit. What do you think?"

Her father looks at the outfit and couldn't believe it. She was wearing a pink graphic T-shirt with the words 'I Smell Yummy' on the front, embellished jeans that go down to her ankles, and a pair of pink stuff emblem low top sneakers with white anklet socks in them. Sari turned around and enjoyed her new look.

Sari: "I think this outfit looks tight. Right dad?"

Issac looked at her clothes and sighed to himself.

Prof. Sumdac: "I still find it to be a little pricey. Let's try something else."

Upon saying that, Sari rolled her eyes around and went back to the dressing room. After another five minutes, she was done and was going to show her next set of clothing.

Sari: "Well, like it?"

The professor looked at her daughter's next choice and could tell its another one of those. She was now sporting a Photo-real floral dress that goes down to below the knees and a pair of lightly pink sandals on her feet. Sumdac look on at her clothes and was a little confident.

Prof. Sumdac: "They look kind of nice. But let's see if there is anything else that's less expensive."

Sari nodded and headed back to the dressing, knowing that she is slowly regaining her father's confidence. After another five minutes, she came out and showed him her next look.

Sari: "What about this?"

Her father checked out her next look and this one was a little adequate. This time, it's a bar stripe V-neck pink and gray sweater that goes down to her wrists with a sky blue t-shirt underneath, a medium vintage wash skinny jeans, and a pair of light brown Serpa boots that will keep her feet warm during the winter. Her father looked on and saw some of them looked a little expensive, so he waved them off and told her to try to next look. Prof. Sumdac: "Next." Sari returned to the dressing room to see what else to wear. Five minutes later, she came out showed of a sleepwear of some kind. Sari: "How about this? I was thinking I should get something to sleep." Sumdac observed it and like this one. She was wearing a Glitter Charm sleep set with light yellow long sleeve shirt with a necklace design on it, long pink sweatpants with multiple girly designs, and a pair of fluffy pink slippers. Sumdac looked on and smiled at her decision. Sure it looked like it was costly, but it's better for her to sleep with that then wearing her dress to bed every night. So he nodded and agreed with her.

Prof. Sumdac: "I suppose that's better then nothing. We'll keep it. Now, what else do you have?"

The young teenager smiled with glee and returned to the dressing room to try out her next set of clothes. Coming out of the dressing room in the next five minutes, she was showing off her blue chiffon-trim tee, a tight blue silk skirt that goes down to above her knees, and a pair of blue classic flip-flops. Sari spinned around like she was a super model and showed it off to her dad.

Sari: "This one is the type of stuff young teenage girls get into. Read this in a magazine once. Your thoughts?"

The professor looked at her next look and didn't like it at all. Shaking his head, he told her that that wouldn't likely happen.

Prof. Sumdac: "I think that outfit looks a little exposing. That won't suit you well. Let's try something that has a little less skin."

His daughter slumped her shoulders and felt a little defeated. Returning to her dressing room, she started to search for clothes that would be suitable for her father. For the past hour, Sari continued to try on different types of clothes that she could wear and if her father approves of them. So far, it was all half and half. Sari's father agreed on half the stuff she worn while the other half were discarded due to the fact that they are either provocative or expensive. After all that time sitting and changing, Sari got one last outfit to take care of. She was wearing a graphic color block tunic with 4' cuff demin shorts and a pair of black wedge shoes with socks that go up to her knees. Looking down at her outfit, she lifted her hands up and told his father in a demanding voice.

Sari: "Well? Does this count as a pass?"

He looked at it carefully to see if that outfit was too much. After looking at it, he smiled and nodded in unison.

Prof. Sumdac: "I think that would count."

Upon hearing that, Sari smiled very widely and jumped up in the air in sheer excitement.

Sari: "YES!"

Upon doing that, her father got up from his seat and stretched a little after a long time sitting.

Prof. Sumdac: "There. Now that this search for clothes is over, I think we should pay them off. Just remember, the clothes I decided are the clothes you're going to wear. If you want to get new clothes for yourself, I need to be the one that will decide what you want to pick. I don't want anything that would be too much for you. Got it?"

Sari looked at her father and nodded in approval.

Sari: "Sure thing dad. I'll try to be normal as I could. Well, as normal as a half human teenager would be. Besides, I just need new clothes to wear everyday then just one."

Issac smiled and knew she won't do anything too racy.

Prof. Sumdac: "All right fine. Now let's buy all of this stuff and leave here before anyone gets suspicious."

Sari sighed and could agree with her father on one occasion. It's one thing being turned into a complete teenage robot; it's another to let the public know what happen because they know that Sumdac had a daughter of eight-years-old. And if they find out that she has become a teenager real fast, then there's no telling what the media will say.

Sari: "Fine… Whatever…"

So the two left the dressing room with Issac carrying bags of clothes that seem appropriate and cheep for his daughter.

After all that paying, both Issac and Sari left the store, both carrying bags of clothes for her. Though Issac deciding on getting clothes that were less expensive, the total for everything together was completely high. Guess the economy wasn't fairing well for shopping, even with the sales going on. As they were walking, Sari looked around and noticed girls her age, or upgraded age, listening to music and getting in on the latest gossip. Not to mention teenagers hanging out at the cooler spots, and going on dates and such. Looking through all of this, she thought this through and turned to her dad for something.

Sari: "Hey dad? Can I ask you something?"

Her father looked back and responded.

Prof. Sumdac: "Sure Sari. What is it that you want?"

Sari thought this a little more and asked him.

Sari: "Well, you know Christmas is right around the corner right?"

Prof. Sumdac: "Right?"

Sari: "Well I was thinking. Being that I'm a teenager now, I think I should get teenager things for Christmas. You know, like the kind of music, movies, and books teenagers usually get into. Maybe I can get myself a car too. Since teenagers drive cars, I guess I should have one as well."

Sumdac listened to her and could understand the type of media teens get into these days. But the car was a whole different story. Being how expensive cars are, it's impossible for him to give Sari one. But he had to do something about that. As he was looking back, he looked on and notices something that caught his eye. From a far was a row of Vespa bikes all lined up in a row as a display for Christmas shoppers. Looking at the bikes, he thought that maybe it would be a great present for Sari. But the problem is that Sari might not like it because it's not as good as a car. But maybe if he could make some modifications to the bike and make it completely compatible with her Cybertronian half, she might have a blast with it. As he was thinking about, Sari interrupted his train of thought.

Sari: "Hello? Earth to Dad. Come in dad. Is everything okay?"

Issac shook his head and tried to recover from his thoughts.

Prof. Sumdac: "I'm sorry Sari, I was thinking about something is all."

She tilted her head and thought he was acting strange.

Sari: "Right… Come on Dad, I need to get started restocking my closet with my new clothes."

She then left him and was heading to the exit. Sumdac then soon followed and was about to leave. But just as he was going to do that, he turned around and looked back at one of the Vespas that was in yellow. Knowing this one would be perfect for her, he would wait until it is the right time to buy it. Turning back around, he headed to the exit; ready to give Sari the best Christmas present yet.

And that's chapter 5 for you. I know this was a little silly and didn't show much of the season. But I wanted to add something that would be a little funny. Plus I didn't know what teenage girls wear so I had to look through sites to improvise. On the next chapter, Sari starts to do more training by using the conveyer belt in one of her father's labs just to practice. Now this is where the action will take place. Stay tune for the next exciting chapter. Please Review.
