Thank you for reading. I hope you'll enjoy this story. I guess I needed a break from Dani and Pierce, Noel and Prowl. Should I say, the plot bunny hopped over here. :)

Sarah and I were sitting on the school bus heading to school. Then the man came over to us, demanding me to come up to the front. Then he went flying through the front window and I landed on the ground, hitting my head. Then I threw up in front of the two Mechs and then I fainted. Then it all faded as I began to stir. I felt a faint vibration and a roar from a mighty sport's engine. I took a deep breath as the cabin bounced and I heard something being said in a different language. I snapped open my eyes to see a gray roof, tinted windows, and no driver. I looked frantically around for anyone from the bus. My heart beat against my chest as recalled what happened to us on our way to school.

"Calm down, Fleshing." A voice interrupted my thoughts.

I took deep breaths, trying to relax. "W-wwhere are you?" I asked.

"Right here, Fleshing." I turned for the voice. I saw a black dashboard with something resembling a GPS system, a radio, and an air conditioning control all rolled into one. The dashboard looked like something out of an old science fiction novel. It didn't look like a regular car's dashboard either. I saw an insignia that had a stern looking robot face on the left and a bird-like face on the right.

I struggled against the belt holding me down, but it tightened. "Where do you think you are going?"

"Nowhere." I said. "Please let me up."

The seat no longer reclined and I saw the trees flashing by and I saw that we weren't alone. "Um, who are you?"

"I am Sunstreaker."

I froze at this when I realized this had to be one of the dreaded Cybertronians everyone talked about. There were talks of a powerful group of 'twins' whom people feared. "Where's the bus driver and kids?"

"Relax. They were taken to a hospital as they say."

"But why didn't I-"

"You are wanted for interrogation." Sunstreaker said.

I wanted to cry. What'd I do to warrant an investigation? I was just a youngster, heading to school. My eyes flooded with tears because I knew what happened to those who were interrogated. I wouldn't see my Mom or Dad after this. I rubbed my eyes.

"Why are you leaking Fleshing?"

"I-I'm n-not l-leaking. I-It's c-called c-crying." I stammered.

"Then why are you crying?"

"Y-You're g-going t-to k-keep m-me."

Sunstreaker's engine growled, but didn't say anything to ease the Fleshing's fears. Let her think that. It would make her more compliant to their commands. He could care less about how she felt. A compliant human was better than those irritating rebels they had to deal with daily. Now the fleshing was crying even more so than before and the wetness was spreading from her cheeks to land on her shirt and his seat belt. He growled, "Stop it, Fleshing."

"J-Just t-take m-me h-home." She sobbed.

"You will be fine and when this questioning is over, you will be given room and board." Sunstreaker said, disregarding the emotions running through the Fleshing. She seemed to get even more and more upset with every word he had said. She was also showing a lot of distress from just this encounter. Sunstreaker began to go through the files of Fleshings. There were many files on them stored in the data files from Teletraan-One. He finally found the child's file.

'Joyce Miller', 13 years old, light blonde hair, brown eyes. Daughter of Tamela and Robert Miller. Sunstreaker found nothing on her record to cause them to look into her background or take her into custody.

"Joyce Miller." Sunstreaker said.

There was a sniffle. It seemed Joyce had exhausted her tears. "W-What?" She asked, hoarsely.

"There is nothing in your file that indicates you are involved in these rebels and you are still needed for questioning. I will gladly return you to your home after your questioning. But I cannot guarantee that my superiors will do so. You will have to wait and see."
