"I know I'm not crazy."
That is never a good way to start a conversation. Trust me.
"I mean, I thought I was crazy for a little while. But I figured dad was the one moving you around. He's never good at putting stuff back in the right spot, and he's always trying to help when I'm not looking. But I saw you, robot-car. I didn't go crazy from sniffing paint fumes all day. I know you're there—just talk to me."
I contemplated the plea until Riley brought her fist down on my hood. "Now."
Let me just say that the little femme managed to look more terrifying than Megatron. I don't know how, and I don't really want to know, but she managed it somehow.
Or I'm just a subconscious coward. Yeah…
Riley took a step back as I transformed. She practically vibrated with excitement as I crouched down to her height. "I knew it! Wait until dad sees this!"
"No!" Riley looked surprised by my sudden outburst, but I couldn't help it. "You can't tell anyone."
She looked torn as she debated her options, but her decision was made quickly. "Alright. Your secret's safe with me."
