Their camp was fairly large, and had men with rifles surrounding the area, which scared Danni greatly as they passed them. A few soldiers walked in the camp, have small chats, and everyone was tense. Optimus let Danni off his shoulder, bringing his servo towards the ground. She hopped off it, and looked timidly towards the others. She was always the youngest, it seemed, for everything. She was the youngest in her class, the youngest on her swim team, youngest in her whole family. Putting her hands behind her back, she mumbled a small, "Hi."

Sam smiled at her, and put out his hand towards her. "Sam Witwicky." He greeted. Danni hesitantly took his hand, shaking it.

"Danni Tunningham."

Sam nodded, and the rest of the adults just smiled at her. It made her feel awkward slightly, all eyes on her. She was glad when a man came walking up to him, clearing his throat to get their attention. "Excuse me, but I will show you where your going to stay." He turned, and started walking, everyone following behind him. He entered a large metal building, big enough for the Autobots to fit in it. He walked down the hallway, and stopped at a large doorway. "This will be where the Humans will be staying." He said, and showed them in, leaving the Autobots outside.

Everyone walked in, looking around. It was roomy, with metal bunk beds. The mattresses looked new, and so did the pillows, and blankets. It was clean enough, and the man exited, leaving the group to look around their new room, now leading the Autobots to their own large room. He stopped at a very large doorway, bigger then even Optimus. Several berths, each of different sizes, were in the large room, and the man nodded towards the 'Bots. "Have a good day." With that, he walked out of the room, back to wherever his post was.

Bumblebee looked towards Optimus, uncertainty in his baby blue optics. Optimus just nodded towards the scout. "I too, am uncertain of what will happen next Bumblebee. But, I am sure, that we will stop the Decepticons." Optimus said. They had battled them for eons, and this was not truly a real defeat. They were still strong, and now, had the support of other countries. He had been recently informed that Russia and Asia had made peace with America, and were shipping troops over. All of Earth was in trouble, and they needed all the help they could get. Sighing, to the rest of the Autobots, who looked around their new room. It wasn't NEST, but it would have to do. Optimus, done looking around his new quarters, walked out the door, into the hallway. He wanted to see their new camp, temporary or permanent.

Danni was doing the same thing, except she snuck away from the adults. She felt uncomfortable and uneasy among them, feeling like an outcast from their conversations, and she was too shy to try and join in them. Sighing, she looked at the ground. Why couldn't she at least try and be happy, or at least something close to it? Why did she have to be a crybaby who just wailed in the corner? Well, it's because your parents are dead, the earth is doomed, and the Human race could possibly go extinct! A little voice nagged inside of her head. She hated that little voice. She hated it because it was right. It was seven against like, ten MILLION. That's a lot.

Her thoughts led her only to bump into something hard and metal, and she fell right onto her bottom. Rubbing her now throbbing head, she looked up, only to see the worried face of Optimus Prime. Funny how they kept bumping into eachother. He bent down, helping her up with a digit. "Are you alright youngling?" He questioned. "I did not see you there."

"Nah, I'm fine…just my head." Danni looked at him for a moment, and cocked her head to the side. "What are you doing out here Optimus. I thought you and the other Autobots were getting comfortable in your new room." She questioned.

Optimus grinned. "I thought you were supposed to be with the other Humans getting comfortable in your own room."

Touché

Danni shrugged, looking at the floor as she rocked slightly on her heels. "I…I was kinda getting a little bored, and I didn't feel comfortable around them and all….since their adults, and I'm a kid...they don't talk about a lot of interesting stuff, so I kinda sneaked away." She confessed. Optimus blinked in slight confusion, but nodded. He knew somewhat of this from back on Cybertron. He'd had his fair share of Sparklings, and whenever he tried to talk to them, they'd squirm around, either that or if they were way young, cry. She looked up at him. "So, why are you out here?"

She looked up at him. "So, why are you out here?"

"I was simply thinking about things." His voice was slightly distant.

Danni shrugged, looking back to the ground. "Me too." There was a sudden silence, and it became slightly awkward for Danni. She cleared her throat. "So, um, sorry I, uh, bothered you.." going past his leg, she walked on. Optimus simply stood there, looking over his shoulder at the girl. She only got a few feet away before a large black servo came in front of her, blocking her path. She looked over to Optimus, tilting her head to the side. He laid his servo flat on the ground.

"Come, I have something to show you." Danni gave him a confused look, but nodded, climbing onto the hand. He began to walk, out of the metal building. He walked out of the camp, and came onto a hill, which over shadowed a fairly large camp, full of people. They walked alongside on another, having small chats. Each had a small huddle, having small smiles, or trying to smile to make things seem brighter. "Do you see these people," Danni looked up at Optimus as he spoke, optics never leaving the camp. "They smile, when their world is being plunged into darkness." He looked towards her. "Do you know why they smile?" Danni looked back at them, and shook her head. "Because they have hope." Optimus' optics seemed a small bit brighter. "You can take away everything, but you cannot take away someone's hope." He looked towards her again. "Promise me, that you will always have hope." Danni nodded, and Optimus looked away from her, and back onto the Human camp.

Danni looked to it as well, and felt a small warmth tingling in her. She'd found her hope, a small spark of it at least. Optimus had brought on this hope, and she felt it get warmer and warmer every moment she spent with the mech. Settling down in his servo, she watched as the sun set slowly.

Danni and Optimus fluffy moment! AW! And, AH! ITS FRIDAY THE 13! And I'm sick cuz of its evil powers :( But, I hope you enjoyed Chapter 4!
