Okay my faithful readers...here is chapter 12. Who would've thought I could write so fast?
I feel giddy...and I also feel like watching Family guy.
Giggity giggity goo! Heehee
Okay I know I didn't do a little thing on Ratchet but if you would remember, he and Tai aren't on the best of terms right now.
As usual, I own nothing.
Onward!
Chapter 12
You don't see that everyday!
'Ow...ow...ow...' Tai muttered, swatting at the thing that was smacking her in the face. She opened her eyes, which were blurry with sleep and glanced at her clock...it was seven thirty in the morning. She glared at her Great Dane and put her hand on her large nose.
Psyche tilted her head in confusion. She gave her owners hand a small lick with her huge tongue, Tai responded by turning over and burrowing her head under the soft pillow. Psyche wasn't one to give up easily...she shoved her owner with her large nose impatiently. The teen groaned in response and kept trying to ignore her dog, but with one final shove...Tai fell off the bed with a loud yelp.
She jumped up in alarm, her white blond hair all askew. 'Gosh Darnit Psych...why must you do that?' She held her dog's huge head and rubbed her forehead against hers.
She cracked her neck loudly and stretched, not even bothering to stifle a huge yawn. As she was doing that, her cell phone went off causing her to yelp slightly in alarm. She dashed over to her bedside table and after nearly dropping it and tripping over, answered it.
'Hello?'
'Good morning...Good morning!' The voices of Joe, Quagmire, and Peter sang from the other line, which made Tai burst into laughter. Oh that goofy Autobot!
'It's great to stay up late!' She sang along, going through her huge collection of clothes. 'Good morning, good morning to you!'
Blurr chuckled. 'Areyoufeelingalrightnowsweetheart?' That made her smile; he gave any doting 'human' guardian a run for their money.
'Oh yeah dude...totally better.' She really was, she could barely remember the dream anymore. Best not to bring it up today...or any other day for that matter. 'Bumbles and Sam gone?'
'Theyleftacouplehoursago.' He explained. 'BumblebeewasmakingfunofthefactthatMojolubricatedonmyfoot.'
'Is that why you shrieked like a femme?' Tai teased him.
'IdidnotshrieklikeaFemme!' He huffed indignantly. 'DidI?' He asked, now sounding very embarrassed.
'No Blurr...but listen, I'll be down in a bit...we still need to go places okie day?' She didn't even wait for an answer as she hung up the phone and tossed it on her bed. A loud honk outside made her jump and sent Psyche running out the door to see her big, blue playmate.
She laughed at her guardian's obvious tantrum and went to take a shower.
After nearly getting knocked down the stairs by the lumbering form of her dog, she entered the kitchen to find Judy watching the news and Ron reading the paper. Tai decided to wear a gray Sonic the hedgehog shirt, some rainbow bracelets, a shell necklace, and her favorite skinny jeans...the dark green leopard print ones she bought.
Blurr always made fun of the way she dressed but she knew he was just teasing her...after all, it's what big brothers do.
'Howdy!' She said with a smile, snatching a bagel.
'Well look who's up!' Judy exclaimed. 'You and Blurry doing anything today?' Tai choked with laughter. Blurr would love that nickname. She was still laughing as walked out of the door, Psyche in tow, carrying her neon green leash in her huge mouth.
'What?' Judy asked in confusion. 'Did I say something funny?'
Autobot base...10:30am
Sam had never been so bored in his entire life. Not even his history class was this dull, there always paper to draw on or girls to drool over. But there was none of that here...at a meeting with the autobots...Defense Secretary Keller...and Lennox and Epps...and various other military personnel. And to make it even more boring, Mikaela was out shopping with Tai. Apparently while they were getting Tai's stuff upstairs they became instant friends, and Mikaela was dying to take Tai out. No matter what store...
So was stuck coming to a meeting with a bunch of adults.
He was currently sitting in a very uncomfortable fold out chair, the same one he had been sitting in for two hours. Why did I agree to come to this?
Letting out a breath through his lips, he crossed his arms and leant his chin forward on his chest.
He must've dosed off because the next thing he knew, he was being pushed off the chair and onto the floor. With a yelp of surprise and panic, he landed on his back. Lennox was chuckling. As was Bumblebee, Jazz, and Ironhide. Even Optimus and Ratchet found that amusing.
'Sorry Sam...couldn't resist.' Lennox leaned down to help him up. Grumbling curses under his breath, Sam got up, glaring up at Bumblebee when he started laughing.
'Why must you laugh at my misfortune?' He asked dramatically. Bumblebee patted his charge on the back, but it was a little too roughly and it just sent Sam flying onto the hard stone floor. The other mechs stared at Bumblebee in alarm, who immediately reached down to help his fallen charge to his feet.
'You seem very distracted today kid.' Lennox pointed out as Sam slapped at Bumblebee's large metal hand, only causing him more pain.
Hissing as he shook his hand, he glanced over at the Army major and shrugged. 'Oh you know...I don't know...' Lennox glared at him with a dead pan look while Epps just laughed.
Ironhide glanced over at the young teen and his own human charge, who appeared to be in a conversation. He didn't want to admit it, but he really enjoyed Tai's company in his shooting range. She was so eager and excited to see destruction and explosions that he couldn't help but grant her the wish to see a huge fireball explode from one of his precious cannons. She very much reminded him of Bumblebee when he was small. Like Optimus, he felt the need to protect her from harm. Even though Blurr was way ahead of all of them in that department, he didn't care in the slightest. He was Ironhide, if he wanted to protect someone, he would.
It didn't go unnoticed that Jazz was incredibly disappointed that only Sam and Bumblebee showed up. He was really hoping Tai and Blurr would both come, but Sam told them they were running a few errands. He still had that funny feeling in his fuel tanks and that pounding feeling in his spark whenever he thought about her. He just wished he made a better intro though, that was a huge blow to his ego. When he sweet talked the other femmes on Cybertron, he never embarrassed himself like that. He remembered he had claws for Primus sake.
Next time. He thought, Next time I'll be smooth...I'll show her I'm the one for her...I don't care if she's human...!
Opitmus himself had been surprised when Sam and Bumblebee showed up by themselves. Not even Mikaela was with them. When he asked the young human where he femme was, he simply replied...'Girl time.' It confused him but he let it go after that. He knew for a fact that two teenage human girls wouldn't want to spend their day at a meeting. Now that he thought of it, neither would a teenage human boy. But Sam insisted on coming...no matter how boring it was going to be. He himself could not stop thinking of the connection he felt when he was around the young teenage femme. He almost felt a fatherly connection to the human girl. It confused the majestic leader to no end.
'Seriously Sam...why are you so distracted?' Lennox persisted, sounding impatient. 'What is going on...girlfriend trouble...problems at home...?' He kept listing things off.
'Oh his 'cousin' moved in with him and his parents.' Bumblebee kneeled down to explain. Lennox and Epps looked surprised. Sam rolled his eyes and glared over at Bumblebee annoyed.
'What?' He asked defensively
'I didn't know you had a cousin.' Lennox sounded very shocked. 'Where's he been all this time?'
Sam chuckled. Tai would've smacked Lennox for saying that, Major or not. 'Actually...HER name is Tatyana.' He saw Epps eyes widen slightly. 'And she's been in foster care for ten years.'
'Why's that?' Lennox asked.
'Her father...he was killed.' Epps answered for Sam. Everyone, human and Autobot, looked at him in amazement.
'You actually remember that?' Sam asked in amazement.
Epps nodded with a grim look on his face. 'I'll always remember that day...' He paused. 'I've never seen a wound like that in my life...'
'That is because no weapon made by a human could do that.' Ironhide muttered, cracking his large metal digits. Soundwave was pure evil...how could he viciously kill Robert Witwicky? Right in front of Tatyana no less.
'Poor girl...I hope she wasn't there when that happened.' Lennox said, shaking his head sadly.
'Unfortunately Major Lennox...she witnessed the whole thing.' Optimus chimed in, his optics darkening with both sadness for Tai and hatred for Soundwave. Lennox's eyes widened in disbelief while Epps nodded sadly.
'When I was a police officer, my partner and I found her in an old Dodge Dart.' Epps remembered everything about that day. He remembered how she refused to let go of him when he took her to the ambulance and when they got to the hospital. They had to sedate her so she would let him go...come to think of it, while he stayed by her bedside, she kept muttering the name Blurr over and over again.
'It was horrible to say the least...I haven't seen her since...that was ten years ago man.' A strange thought suddenly occurred to him.
'Maybe you could explain why I felt like that car was watching me!'
Meanwhile:
'Holy crap!' Mikaela had no idea that a car could go so fast. Especially a Dart but than she had to remember that Blurr was the car and from what Tai told her, he was the fastest thing living...anywhere. 'We're gonna die...we're gonna die!' She gripped the leather seat in a panic as they swerved through traffic at incredible speed.
'You know, you're way to tense...' Tai said, looking incredibly relaxed. She was busy checking off her list of supplies she needed to redecorate her room while keeping her hand on the wheel. 'You gotta learn to relax.' Mikaela was finding it very hard to relax.
'Tatyanaisright, IalmostknowexactlywhatI'mdoing.' Blurr's voice crackled through the radio.
'Almost?!' Mikaela squeaked out in terror.
'He's only kidding.' Tai smacked the steering wheel roughly.
'Ow!' Blurr said loudly. To get her back for that, Blurr started bouncing on his wheels as they sped down the freeway. Mikaela shrieked with each bounce and started to feel very queasy.
'Oh you big baby, it didn't hurt that bad!' Tai was laughing as people were staring in horror and wonder at the bouncing Dart. 'I better...call Sam...and tell them...to make way...' Tai struggled to get her cell phone out of her bag, fumbling with it and almost hitting her head on the roof. 'Ow you bastard!' She laughs as she finally dials Sam's number.
'Cut it out you douche!'
Sam jumped when his cell phone went. 'Hold on.' He excused himself from Lennox and Epps.
'What up?'
He heard the sound of bouncing metal and Mikaela shrieking in alarm and Tai laughing.
'Tai..what's going on?'
'Blurr..is being..a douche...' She managed to get out. 'Red light..red light!' He than heard Psyche bark madly and excitedly. Sam had than decided to put it on speaker phone
'I'm gonna be sick...I'm gonna be sick..' He heard Mikaela yell.
'What the hell is going on?' He said loudly. The Autobots and the army were staring at him and listening in alarm.
'Open the base doors!' Tai voice shouted over the phone. 'We're coming through and we're coming through at high velocity speed!'
Sam peeked out through the crack in the door and saw a cloud of dust billowing from the path.
'Oh shit...' He muttered. He backed away and ran over to Bumblebee in a panic. 'S.O.S....open the gate...Blurr and girls coming in.'
Optimus and Ironhide barely got the door opened when Blurr tore through, still bouncing on his tires. Sam saw Tai was laughing and Mikaela looked sick, which was never a good thing. Epps and Lennox backed away, almost tripping their own feet.
Blurr screeched to a halt, smoke billowing from his tires. Mikaela quickly got out and fell onto the floor.
'I'm alive...thank god, I'm alive!' Sam helped her up, and he couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. 'He drives like a maniac!'
Tai got out along with Psyche, who immediately stretched her long legs and yawned. She looked up and spotted Ratchet and barked excitedly, her huge tail wagging, smacking into Tai's leg and onto the side of Blurr's car mode. 'You get used to it Kaela...' Tai chuckled.
'How in the name of mighty Zeus did you do that?' Lennox asked in amazement.
'Well if I did that...I would be very famous amongst the car bouncer people...but unfortunately I did not...' Tai said, almost falling over when Psyche leaned against her. 'Hey guys!' She waved happily to the other Bots.
Optimus smiled and kneeled down so he could talk to her better. 'How was your first night at your new residence?'
'Oh it was alright...despite the fact that Blurr probably woke the neighborhood up with his girlish squeal...and Psyche pushed me off the bed.'
She yelped when Blurr bumped her from behind with his bumper. 'Oh cut it out! I was kidding!' Blurr roared his engine in indignation. 'I just said that to make you feel better...but you did shriek rather loud.' With another roar of the engine, Blurr started playfully chasing Tai around the base.
Optimus shook his head in amusement. 'Now Blurr, be careful...' He called over the roaring of the Dart's powerful engine and Tai's laughter,
'Is that safe?' Epps asked as Tai literally flew by, with the bright blue car right on her tail...it wasn't going full speed but it was catching up to her.
'Probably not...but that hasn't stopped her before...' Sam laughed when Tai jumped onto the hood of Blurr and ran across him, jumping off of his rear bumper.
Blurr than transformed into his true form and scooped her up in his large metal hand...holding her upside down by the feet.
'Blurr...you wienerhead!' Tai laughed, arching her spine so she could look at his gleeful face. Her face was turning red from being upside down but she didn't seem to care like she did yesterday. But this time Blurr wasn't freaking out and asking her if every part of her body was functioning properly.
'I'llputyoudownifyoutakebackwhatyousaid...' Blurr sing songed. Epps and Lennox blinked, obviously not picking up a thing he just said.
''Would you two please stop?' Ratchet snatched Tai back from him and held her in his closed fist, using her as a pointer as he lectured Blurr. 'We have company!' He than pointed down to the two army men, still using Tai, who was laughing hysterically.
'Doc, watch it!' Ironhide exclaimed in alarm. 'She's no pointer!'
Ratchet blanched, seeming to realize what he was doing and he carefully placed her down next to Sam and Mikaela, looking very dizzy but with a smile.
'My apologies Tatyana.' Ratchet scanned her, making sure nothing was damaged. His optics widened at what he found though.
Tai just laughed and waved him off. 'No worries Hatch!' She shook her head, trying to stop the world from spinning. She than got a look at Epps and Lennox, who were staring at her in amazement.
'B to the W...who are you?' She asked Lennox. Epps on the other hand, was staring at the new girl with a concentrating look.
'Well, I'm Major William Lennox...but you can just call me Will...or Lennox if you prefer...and this gent right here is...'
'Epps?' She asked with shock. 'No way...Officer Robert Epps...?!'
'There is no way you can be Tatyana...' Epps said with a shocked expression. 'Did you use to have brown hair?'
'Sheusedtoo..' Blurr intervened with a roll of his optics. 'Butinthepasttenyears, Ibelieveshehasgonethrougheverhaircolorimaginable...'
Tai glared over at him. 'Oh I have not!' She exclaimed indignantly. 'Mostly all of them...there is a huge difference.'
'But hey, it's really great to see you again...it's been way, way too long...' She continued talking to them, with Blurr kneeling down next to her.
Ratchet on the other hand, could not believe what he saw when he gave her that quick scan. He knew she was different than the other humans...but he never would've guess this.
God that sucked so badly!
I am so sorry!
I promise the next one will be better!
