Alaina felt clean and refreshed as she stepped out of the bathroom, dressed and ready to find the kitchen. "Now, I wonder where exactly the kitchen is." She asked herself as she left her room, closing the door behind her softly. Even though Bumblebee had shown her where it was the night before, she didn't remember the exact location of the damn room. Shrugging, she set off to search.

30 minutes had passed and she was still walking around, searching for the elusive kitchen. Sighing in frustration, she walked around a corner, only to find herself flat on her back, eyes wide in disbelief.

"Oh my Primus, I'm sorry!" A masculine voice called out from above her. Moving her eyes to look up, Alaina was shocked by the person that was now kneeling next to her.

He was tall, about 6' she was guessing, with shaggy black hair that had chunks of fire engine red framing both sides of his face. Bright blue eyes were gazing down at her with a look of wonder. He was wearing a red and black striped shirt and black straight-legged pants, with black and red sneakers. He also had snake bites in his lips – a touch of rebellion, she assumed. Reaching down, he offered her a hand.

"I'm sorry about that. I'm Alex, by the way, but you can call me 'Sides." Grabbing his hand, she allowed herself to be pulled to her feet.

"Thanks. My name is Alaina. She said, wondering why he had such a strange nickname, and especially why he was dressed in clothes unfit for a military base.

"So, where are you headed?"

"The kitchen. This place is like a freaking maze. She said.

"Yeah, tell me about it. Want me to show you where the kitchen is?" He asked, knowing that this must be the femme Optimus warned them about.

"Sure, that'd be great."

With that, Sideswipe led her through the halls of the hanger and to the kitchen. When the duo walked in, someone was already there, sitting at the round table. He looked exactly like Sideswipe, except her had platinum blond hair and his eyes had a teal-like color mixed in with their blue. He was dressed immaculately in blue jeans, with an electric yellow button down shirt that he had rolled the sleeves up on to the elbows, and classic Converse. He looked up at them with a scowl etched onto his features. He also had snakebites, just like 'Sides.

"Oh, hey Sunny." 'Sides said.

"Don't call me that!" The blonde growled, shooting Alaina a glance.

"Alaina, this is my twin brother, Evan. And don't worry about his, he's always an asshole." 'Sides introduced the two, ignoring the fierce glare his brother was shooting at him.

Alaina smiled nervously at the twin brothers. She wasn't used to being around anybody remotely attractive, and all of a sudden she was thrust into a place where there were only attractive looking people in sight! Especially 'Sides. She couldn't stop sneaking glances at him while he talked with his brother.

Shaking her head, she rummaged through the cabinets for something to eat. She found a box of cereal and a bowl before finding the milk in the fridge and a spoon. While eating her breakfast, she kept her eyes on her food only, ignoring the now bickering twins.

"Hey, Alaina?" Sideswipe's voice interrupted her thoughts. After seeing her look up at him, 'Sides continued. "Would you like me to show you around the base? That way you don't get lost again?" He smirked as she blushed.

"Sure, that'd be nice." She muttered.

"Great! C'mon, I'll start with the Rec Room." After she cleaned her dish, Alaina allowed herself to be led around by Sideswipe.

"So, let's play 20 questions." She suggested.

"What's that?" He asked with a confused look. He had never heard of Earth games like this before.

"It's when I ask you a question, and you have to answer and then ask me a question, until each of us gets to 20." She explained.

"Oh~" He nodded, "Okay!" He thought for a moment. "I'm going to start with some easy ones; what's your favorite color?

"It depends on my mood, really; I like all of them."

"Mine's red! What's…"

As they continued, Alaina learned what his favorite food was – a foreign energy supplement called Energon; his favorite place to be was on the road, driving – which was also one of his hobbies. He was the proud owner of a silver Corvette Stingray concept model, and he worked with the military.

"Okay, so now you know a lot more about me, but I still don't really know anything about you. How did you become homeless, anyway?" Sideswipe asked her as they walked into a large room that was empty save for a few cardboard boxes.

"Um…" Alaina tried to think of a way to stall, but came up empty handed. "Well, my parents died, and I had no where else to go. That was six years ago." She told him emotionlessly, giving him the short and somewhat not true version that she gave most people who actually took the time to ask – which wasn't many. Frowning, 'Sides walked over and hugged her gently, ignoring the nagging voice in the back of his head that was wondering why the hell he was being so nice to this fleshy.

"I'm sorry." He said. "I know what it's like to lose someone." Pulling back, he gave her a small smirk. She frowned, thinking about all of the comrades he must have lost due to battle.

As the two were about to leave the room, a loud explosion knocked them both off of their feet.

"What the hell?" She shouted as she scrambled back to an upright position. Sideswipe held onto her to keep her on her feet as another explosion rocked the base.

"Shit, it's a Decepticon attack!" He yelled as they ran out.

A/N: I know, I'm late with updating, and this is an incredibly short chapter, but at least it's an update! I've been really, truly busy with real life, unfortunately. Also, I have pictures of Alaina, and Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's human forms as well as car forms on my profile if you wanna go check them out!

Thanks for reading, and PLEASE REVIEW!
