"Ugh," I groaned as Prowl drove through the streets to Dino-Drive. "This is going to be boring."

"Hmm," Prowl hummed. "Why do you say that?"

"Because I know what happens, and it bores me to tears," I explained. "At this point, I just wanna sleep all day. There is just too much excitement in my life. Well, my new one anyway."

"Do you miss your old life?" he asked.

"Kinda, but you get tired of the same old routine after doing it for years," I shrugged as we pulled into Dino-Drive. Everyone was there already, everyone but Bulkhead. Just minutes after we got there, Bulkhead came crashing through, hitting every single car in the lot on his way in.

"Did I miss anything?" he asked.

"No, I think you hit just about every car in the lot," Bumblebee told him.

"Bee, that was soooo not his fault," I rolled my eyes. "He can't help it!"

I think I fell asleep right after we walked in. I have absolutely no clue why I'm so tired all the time, but the fact remains that I am tired. By the time I woke up, I learned that Prowl took the Dinobots to the island in the middle of Lake Erie, just like in the episode I watched a million times.

"Good thing I'm not messing up the timeline!" I smiled at myself. "If I keep this up, everything will happen as planned!"

"What will happen as planned?" I heard Prowl ask from behind me.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough," I assured him.

~speed to episode 14, Nature Calls (Lilly has been staying with the Autobots the whole time, just staying out of the way so she won't mess up the timeline)~

"I love snow," I exclaimed as I walked outside where snow was falling. I stuck my tounge out and caught a few snowflakes in it. "I love it, yet hate it at the same time."

"Why would you hate it?" Prowl asked(FWI, we have become very close in the past months!).

"Back at home, I drag race," I explained. "Winter is the only season that I can't race, all because of snow and cold weather. I can deal with it, but it also makes me long for warmer weather so I can get back to racing." Just then, a snow plow ran through the streets, covering me and Prowl in snow.

"Great, now I'm cold," I shivered. "We should probably get back inside."

"Yeah," he agreed, picking me up and putting me on his shoulder as he walked back into base. I was shivering so bad, when I got off Prowl's shoulder, I had to grab a spare blanket and cover myself with it.

"I hate being cold," I muttered. "Stupid snow plow, ruins everything."

"People in this world rush to see everything, yet never stay long enough to see what's really there," Prowl said to nobody in general.

"You guys really need a hot chocolate maker in here," I told them. "And a heater, cuz this place is too cold!"

"They have a heater, but it's not strong enough to heat the whole place," Sari explained. "But no hot chocolate maker."

"Then they should get one," I told her. "Or, you should get them one!"

"Maybe later!" she laughed.

Bumblebee was playing video games, as usual. I almost wanted to join him, but I would kick his aft at that, so I decided against it.

"I found a non- sentient Cybertronian energy signal," Optimus announced. "I'm going to need you, Bumblebee, and you, Prowl, to go investigate."

"Ooh, camping trip!" Sari exclaimed.

"I haven't went camping for real in over five years," I smiled. "Especially in winter. Oh, the campfire, the s'mores," I got this dreamy look on my face. Yeah, but Sari and Bumblebee kinda ruin the whole experince, and the whole barnacles deal... Should I go, or stay? How would it end with me being there? "Actually," I said slowly. "Maybe I shouldn't go."

"If I have to go, you go, too," Prowl told me.

"Ugh, you are soooo much more demanding than in the show," I glared at him. "Fine, I'll go." He smiled at me.

"Good."

I am so going to regret this, I just know it!

~Few hours later~

So far, everything has been going just like it did in the episode. Bumblebee somehow got electronics in him so he wouldn't 'fry his circuits of boredom'.

"Pathetic," I rolled my eyes as I followed Prowl, who was muttering about how he couldn't figure out how Bumblebee had room for this 'stuff', because Sari packed him to the brim with camping supplies that I've never seen before.

"I'd... Rather not say," I heard Bumblebee say. Meaning, he stuck it in unmentionable places. Ugh.

I was the first one to get my tent set up. I've done it before, so I knew how to pretty quickly. Everyone else... Not so much. Especially Bumblebee.

"Ugh, nuts and bolts to this," he mumbled after he attempted to put up his tent. Sari was working on building a fire, but was having a hard time. Bumblebee then decided to look for an outlet. Ha!

"So, where do they hide the outlets?" Bumblebee asked Prowl after pacing for a few minutes, looking for an outlet.

"For the hundredth time," he snapped. "There are not outlets in the woods, fire provides warmth and light."

"Now, let me borrow your battery for a few hours!" Bumblebee said. Good grief... Prowl just growled, while Sari slammed two rocks together in a weak attempt to start a fire.

"Uh," she grunted as she put the rocks together. "I could use some of that fire right about now. These marshmallows aren't gonna roast themselves!" She then tried the stick thing, with no success.

"Sari, have you ever actually been camping?" Bumblebee asked her.

"Of course I've... Seen it... In a movie! Maybe," she stammered, looking sheepish.

"Uh, huh," he said, taking out his stingers. "Need a hand?" And he started up his stingers, but Prowl got in the way, making a fire in a matter of seconds and throwing it into the fire pit Sari made. Then he pitched her tent for her.

"See? I don't need to know any of this stuff, I've got you guys!" she grinned.

"You must learn to survive without the aid of machines," Prowl told her sternly. "There will come a day where you won't have them."

"Huh!" she put her hands on her hips. "Wanna hear a ghost story?"

"Wanna watch a ghost story?" Bumblebee countered. Ugh, no. He tried to project the movie off of Prowl, but Prowl crushed the batteries, and Bumblebee screamed, "Noooo!"

I just went into my tent and tried to sleep, but I couldn't. I knew what was going to happen, and I was kinda scared. What if something happened to me? Then again, an eight year old girl survived it, why couldn't I? About an hour after they all went to sleep, Sari heard something and woke up Bumblebee, waking up Prowl in the process.

"What was that?" Bumblebee exclaimed. He flashed a light around, and saw a moving figure.

"They're called bears," Prowl growled. "They live in the woods." Then the creature pushed back the trees, and I could see it fully. Holy crap, it was big!

"First we must find out this creature's intentions," Prowl said slowly. The creature hit Prowl, knocking him over. Oww! The creature then went up to Bumblebee, me and Sari ran over to Prowl.

"Prowl!" Sari exclaimed. "Are you alright?" Prowl flinched, but didn't see anything.

"Sari, Lilly, look out!" Bumblebee screamed. I looked up and saw the creature getting ready to strike us. Aww, crap! Sari gasped dramically, just like in the episode, and so did I. But Bumblebee struck him in the back with his stingers, making the barnacle monster fall backwards on his ass. Prowl grabbed me and Bumblebee grabbed Sari and ran in opposite directions as soon as the monster struck again, almost hitting us. Prowl threw some ninja-stars at it, but it just sunk into it's skin. Ewww!

"Creature appears to be metal wrapped in living organisms," Prowl commented.

"I think it might be from Cybertron," Sari said softly.

"What makes you say that?" Prowl turned to her.

"Call it a hunch," she stared at her now glowing key.

"How do we stop it?" Bumblebee asked as it started walking towards us.

"Whatever you do, don't look at me!" I widened my eyes. "I've had enough of this creature!" I ran deep into the woods, looked back to see if the creature followed me. When I saw it didn't, I sighed of relief. I'm NOT going to die today!

I cleared the snow away from the ground with my hand and sat down. My blood pressure was rising, and that was never a good sign. I started meditating for awhile, but then, when my blood pressure lowered, I got up and headed back to my tent. My tent was not harmed by that monster at all, so I got in and drifted off to sleep. Not for long, though. Sari woke me up, and she was dripping in water.

"You don't even need to explain, I know," I told her as I got up. "Now, we better pack up and head back."

~Back at the plant~

Sari was telling the rest of the 'Bots the whole story as soon as we got back.

"And then, they were back to normal, like nothing ever happened," she finished. "Meanwhile, I'm stuck riding home with no dry clothes in a car that doesn't have a heater!" she sneezed.

"Bless you," I laughed.

"You showed a lot of courage and ingenuity, Sari," Optimus told her. "And hopefully you'll stop... Backfiring soon."

"Sneezing," I corrected him as Sari blew her nose.

"I don't even want to know what that's called!" Bumblebee whispered to Prowl.

"Blowing her nose," I rolled my eyes. "It's not that bad."

"Sari, we owe you a tremendous amount of gratitude," Prowl told her.

"Yep, and I'm that scardy girl that ran away!" I smiled. "I prefer not being attacked by zombie-Prowl."

"And you owe me a new media player!" Bumblebee snapped at Prowl.

"Oh, good grief," I facepalmed.
