A/N: Yay! Saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, absolutely, friggin' loved it. I almost died laughing a few times. If you haven't seen it...GO NOW! Read this later! I took the NEST idea from the movie, so it's in here.

This chapter obviosuly jumps ahead a few months into the story. I got stuck writing something that happened right after Hannah met the rest of the Autobots so I wrote this instead and while it might not be perfect it's a heck of a lot better then what I had originaly. Ignore the grammar mistakes, I edited it myself, but if there's something you don't understand just message me. Sorry if this was a long wait. We're getting closer to the end! I can't beleive it!

I don't own Transformers. Darn it.

Twin Times the Fun
Three Months Later

"So, I was just thinking we could, you know, go out for dinner and a movie, sometime, maybe. I'd completely understand if you were busy. I hear that you don't have the easiest job here looking after the twins." Insert nervous laugh here. "I mean, yeah, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are great guys…robots, don't get me wrong, but they're just a handful, right? Okay, enough about that. So, I thought maybe this Saturday, if you weren't doing anything we could so something. But only if you aren't busy."

Hannah flushed from the tips of her ears to the ends of her toes as she twirled a lock of chestnut hair between her fingers anxiously. Who would've though that she would be getting asked out on a date by one of the cutest marines on the base?

Riley Adams was a young special OPS with William Lennox and Robert Epps, part of the newly recruited taskforce called NEST that was designated for assisting the Autobots with hostile NBEs, also known as Deceptions.

Riley had been screened and tested rigorously on and off the field, preparing him for what he would eventually become apart of; the largest secret of United States military history and he was the only marine out of fifty that passed.

The taskforce moderately large with twenty to thirty men and women designated as full time employees so to speak. All were expertly trained in combat with regards to enemies that were ten times their size and with much more advanced technology and weapons. Ironhide, the Autobot's weapons specialist, had been commissioned by Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, to assist in training the small, specialized army. Though as much as Hannah listen to Ironhide complain about it, she knew that he was having a pretty good time.

For the past three months Hannah stayed at the Hoover Dam with the Autobots. The former Sector 7 HQ had been gutted and remodeled for the Autobots use. The AEAC, or Autobot-Earth Alliance Committee, completely terminated any remnants of Sector 7, but would not be without some sort of defense, which is where Riley and his comrades came in.

NEST was not only a defense against the Decepticons. With the alliance between the United States and the Autobots still pretty new, NEST was the best defense against any NBE that threatened the planet. The Autobots didn't fault the humans for being over cautious, given the situation, but the humans that were close the Autobots knew that they would never, ever hurt the humans.

A new treaty was drawn up to replace the POS that Sector 7 had commissioned and practically forced Optimus to agree to. The knew contract was much more suitable and fair this time around, but even when the humans asked, Optimus had refused, once again, to not turn over their advancements in weaponry. Hannah couldn't have been more grateful.

Most of the base was still under renovation, but important sectors were fully operational thanks to their newest arrival Wheeljack, the Autobot's self-proclaimed scientist. Thankfully, after the first couple of explosions, Wheeljack had made a lot of progress, along with Ratchet's help.

Hannah remembered when Wheeljack had crash landed, not long after she had woken up and started getting around on her own, but with Sides still tailing her everywhere she went. It was a few days after that that she and Riley were introduced and thus began their shy and timid relationship. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised that as a strong, healthy, and very good looking marine he was still shy. She thought all army guys had unwavering confidence in themselves and that nothing as simple as talking to a girl could spook them. But then she considered who she always had looking over her shoulder when she talked to Riley. For some reason, Sideswipe insisted that she not be alone with Riley. Sunstreaker, much to her shock, had agreed.

Riley was twenty-six years old, a couple years older than her. His hair was brown, cut in the usual military style. He was tall, reaching 6'2". His eyes were almond shape and deep green. Of course he was very fit, with the chiseled arms, chest and, uh, lower extremities. In high school, he would've been way out of her league. But she had long since ditched the glasses for contacts and the frizzy, uncontrollable hair for something more controlled and loosely curled. She no longer bore the busy eyebrows that had cost her her last job. She had also gained a healthy amount of weight so she didn't look like a walking skeleton in baggy clothes. With this change came a little bit of confidence, but Hannah would also be that shy young woman that had left New Jersey not too long ago.

Which is why she still felt surprised that Riley was even asking her out on a date. He was a very polite gentlemen, but with the pride that any soldier would have. Still, his green eyes shifted anxiously over the room looking for at least one of the Terror Duo. It made her smile. Even though he felt intimidated, even threatened by the twins, he was still risking it all to ask her out. It was unexpected, but…sweet.

Hannah wouldn't deny that she had always kind of silently hoped that he would ask her out. They had talked on more than one occasion, flirting a little, but before he could ever work it up to ask her one of the twins, usually Sideswipe, would step in and both would have an aura of do-it-and-die-squishy. The first couple of times she figured that it to be a coincidence, but after this continuously happened, she began to believe that they were plotting against her.

Sideswipe she could understand. He was her guardian and, therefore, extremely protective to the point that if she wasn't within eyesight of him, he'd pretty much freak. Ratchet told them that the 'quick to panic' modes would lessen over time. But Sunstreaker was different. It could have been because of the bond that he had with his twin. Sunny had come to accept her over the past three months, but never went out of his way to please her like Sides did. In fact, he made it a point to stay clear and observe her from a distance. Hannah figured it was a mutual understanding between them and made sure not to step on Sunny's toes, so to speak.

Going back to the matter at hand. She should probably give Riley her answer before one or both of the two decided show up with an intervention. Looking around cautiously, they were no where to be seen. "Sure," she said softly. "Uh, what time?"

"I, uh, was thinking around six, maybe?"

Hannah smiled. "Sounds great. Meet you at the entrance?"

"Sounds great," Riley mimicked with a more confident grin on his face. He looked a little relieved as he scanned the area. She didn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out who he was looking out for. "Alright," he said. "I guess I'll see you later."

This would be the part where they would walked away from each other trying to look casual and confident, while shyly waving, smiling and blushing at each other, going over in there heads on what they were going to wear. But in their case, as it turned out, they were going in the same direction. Laughing nervously, Hannah pushed her hair behind her ears and Riley rubbed the back of his neck.

"There you are."

Both humans looked up at the fair-haired hologram of Sunstreaker, who had his arms crossed, currently glaring at Riley, his unnaturally bright blue eyes narrowed in warning. The hologram was tall, a good six inches over Riley. His hair was blond, its length reaching his neck. He put a male model to shame, that was for sure. His brother was a near exact replica except that Sides preferred to have his 'hair' buzzed to his skull.

Hannah beamed happily at him, mostly because he was too late to stop Riley from asking her out. "Hey, Sunny. You were looking for me?"

Sunny's eyes shifted from Riley to her and, if one knew what to look for, they softened considerably. "Yeah. Sides is looking for you."

Hannah frowned. "Is he okay?"

"What do you think? Go calm him down."

Hannah sighed. "Of course. You know, I love Sideswipe to death, but I need personal space, too, you know."

Sunny shrugged. "What do you want me to do about it?"

Hannah wasn't fazed by the hardened words. She smiled at Riley, shyly. "Okay, um, I'll see you this Saturday?"

Sunny twitched.

"Saturday," Riley agreed. The young soldier smiled and looked over at Sunny, waving. "See you around, Sunstreaker."

Sunny's glared.

Riley promptly turned on his heels and walked away. Quickly.

Hannah looked back at Sunny when Riley finally dodged around the corner, crossing her arms. "Why do you always do that to him?"

Sunny looked away. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You and Sides, both. Quit trying to scare him."

Sunstreaker grinned arrogantly. "Oh, we're not trying. He just makes it so easy."

Hannah sighed and walked over to him, punching him in the arm as she did so, knowing that it wouldn't really hurt him, but just get her point across.

"So what's happening this Saturday?"

Hannah flushed. "I'm going out on a date."

"With that guy?" Sunny scoffed. "Sides isn't going to like that."

"Well, Sides will just have to get over it."

"Let me rephrase that. Side's isn't going to let you."

Hannah gapped. "Sides doesn't get to decide what I can and cannot do just because he's my guardian."

Sunny still had a stern look on his face, like an older bother lecturing his younger, more naïve sister. "I don't like it either. He can't take care of you."

"He is a marine, you know," she said irritably. "He's a tough guy and he managed to get accepted into NEST easily enough." She rounded on him defiantly. "And who says I can't take care of myself?"

A thin, skeptically raise brow was her answer.

Hannah huffed and stalked away. "Where is the worry-wart anyways?"

"I'm right here."

The brunette turned to see Sides walking towards her. She could see his eyes already scanning her checking for any possible abnormalities. She had gotten used to that after a while and it had somewhat lessened when she had been permitted to leave the hospital ward after her short coma.

She wanted to be mad at him. If Sunny was right, which he usually was, Sides would give her a hard time over Riley. So she stood defiantly arms crossed, ready to defend herself, but the happy look Sides had on his face upon seeing her made her falter. She ended up smiling too, especially when Sides wrapped and arm around her shoulders.

"And I'm not that much a worry-wart," he said.

Sunny scoffed and Hannah rolled her eyes.

Sides pouted. "I've gotten better."

Hannah grinned up at him patting his cheek. "Yes you have and we're all very proud of you, but there is still some room for improvement."

"I just want to make sure your safe," Sides defended. "Bumblebee is the same way with Sam."

"Not exactly the same," Sunny muttered.

Sideswipe tossed an irritated glare in his brother's direction. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Sunny turned with his arms crossed. "Wait until Hannah tells you want she's got planned this Saturday."

Hannah who had been frantically gesturing for Sunny to, for all intense and purposes, shut up, sighed heavily and smacked herself in the forehead. Sideswipe looked between his brother and his ward, back and forth until his curious eyes settled on Hannah.

"What's he mean? Are we doing something this Saturday?"

Hannah lowered her hand and smiled timidly. "Uh, kinda. I mean, I am. I, uh, have a, uh," she coughed into her hand, "datewithRiley."

Sides' eyes narrowed as he crossed his arms, looking very much like a father denying his teenage daughter from taking the family car to meet with a boyfriend. "Excuse me? A wha-za with who-za?"

Hannah took a breath for courage. "A date. With Riley Adams."

There were a lot of things Sideswipe could have said in that instant, like 'no' or 'I don't think so' or even maybe something along the lines of 'I'm gonna go kill that fragger for even thinking about it' but he was quiet and in Hannah's opinion that was the worst response of all. Sides' face was blank and Hannah, for as good as she was reading people, couldn't get anything on radar as to what he might be thinking. She looked to Sunny for some help by the blond had a simple look on his face that Hannah could read a plain as day.

"You're on your own, kid."

"A date, huh?" Sides asked. "Where you going?"

Hannah blinked rapidly in surprise. "Uh, dinner and then a movie. You know, standard stuff. Nothing special."

Sides nodded. "Okay. Do you need a ride or is Riley gonna drive?"

From behind Sides, Sunstreaker's mouth hit the floor. Hannah's surprise was wiped from her face as a huge smile broke out. She jumped up and hugged Sides tightly. The mech sighed and hugged her gently back. Hannah laid it on extra thick by placing a huge kiss on his cheek and practically skipping away.

"What the hell was that?"

Sides looked over his shoulder at his brother. "What?"

"You said yes. How could you say yes?"

The red twin frowned. "Why wouldn't I say yes? Not that I technically said yes. I merely asked her where she was going. She doesn't need my permission to do anything."

"Oh, that's a load of crap and you know it."

Sides shrugged. "What's the bid deal? It's just a date."

"Do you have any idea what this could mean?" Sunny asked. "She could end up mated to that guy."

Sunny noted how Sideswipes hands had clenched into fists. "Not after one date."

"I still can't believe you're letting her go."

"Drop it, Sunny," Sides ordered. "Hannah can do whatever she wants as long as it's safe."

"Don't let her go."

"Why is this such a big deal to you?" Sides demanded. "It's not like it's your business."

Sunny decidedly stepped back, his face set in a deep frown. "You're right. It is none of my business."

Sideswipe nodded approvingly. "Alright then. It's just one date. It's not going to hurt anything."

As Sides walked away after Hannah, Sunny stared hard after him his shoulders rigid. "Wrong."

Hannah tracked Mikaela down and dragged her away from her boyfriend. "What's up?" the dark haired girl asked.

"I have a date," Hannah said.

Mikaela smiled knowing. "With Riley Adams, right? He finally asked you?"

Hannah nodded. "I need help. I've never been on a date before. Pathetic? Yes. Moving on. I need you to help me pick out an outfit."

"No problem. Do you have anything in mind?"

Hannah looked down at herself. Right now she was wearing simple tattered jeans an old black and red t-shirt that Ken had been kind enough to ship her. They were still trying to work out a way for her to get Botchy back. Ken proclaimed that the cat was driving him crazy and that if she didn't come get him he was going to drop kick the little cat out the door. Hannah threatened to sick Sideswipe on him if he did and even not knowing that Sides was a giant alien robot she knew that he wouldn't risk getting his butt beat.

"Well, my clothes don't get much better than this."

"I think I have something you can borrow," Mikaela answered. "It might be a little big, but we'll see what we can do. If we don't find anything, we'll go shopping!"

Hannah smiled and nodded. "Thanks Mikaela. I really owe you one. I keep on borrowing your clothes. I'll make it up to you."

Mikaela shook her head with a reassuring smile. "It's fine. I don't mind at all. There are some outfits you can pull off better than me anyways."

"Hannah!"

Hannah looked to see Sides approaching. "Gotta go. Thanks again, Mikaela."

"Don't mention it. When's your date?"

"Saturday."

"Come by my room tonight and we'll see what I have," the younger woman said. "We'll work it out from there."

Hannah nodded and turned towards Sides while Mikaela went back to Sam. "What's up?"

"Planning your date already?"

Hannah shrugged. "I have to get something nice to wear."

Sides frowned. "What's wrong with what you're wearing now?"

"Sides," she said exasperatedly, "this is not something you wear on a date. I look like a hobo in this."

"You do not. You don't have to get all dolled up for him you know. You look fine the way you are."

Hannah smiled. "Thanks for saying so, but remember what I told you about getting dressed up? It makes a girl feel better about herself just spend a little time on image. Don't worry, I won't overdo it."

Sides still didn't like it but moved on. "Anyways, Optimus needs to speak with you."

"Optimus?" Hannah gaped. "To me? Why? Did I do something wrong?"

"Of course not! But he didn't tell me."

"Then how do you know? Did he say anything else?"

"I know that you didn't do anything wrong Hannah. Optimus really likes you. He just said he needed to speak to you."

"But this is Optimus. He never needs to talk to me, at least he's never asked to talk to me privately. I've talked to him in front of other people, but now he wants to see me alone? I bet I did do something wrong. I bet I am in trouble."

"Hannah!" Sides took her by the shoulders, shaking her gently. "You didn't do anything wrong. Let's just go see him. I'll go with you if you want me to." He thought for a moment and then grinned at his absentmindedness. "Scratch that. I'm going with you whether you want me to or not."

Hannah smiled and punched him lightly in the shoulder. "You're too protective."

Sides winked. "You love me for it."

The human girl sighed dramatically and walked away. "Well, someone has to. You know, besides your brother."

"Haha, yeah…Hey!"

AN: So there you go. What does Optimus want? You'll see. Hannah's got one more drama speedbump and then it will be rainbows and puppies. I hope you like the filler chapter! Thanks for reading and go see Revenge of the Fallen if you haven't already!
