I don't own Transformers animated

* Shadow's POV *

After target shooting with Bumblebee, we went inside and Sari was busy telling Bulkhead about movies. I made my way to the corridor; I should get to know this place better if I'm going to live here. Why do I have to live her? It's not fair, just because I'm a half robot doesn't mean they can keep me with them. Maybe I can sneak away and leave Detroit? But what about Blitzwing, he won't be too happy that I left. Somehow were childhood friends, and that's weird, but all of the sudden I remember it all, like all my life was a dream. Maybe Bumblebee was right; I might have been frozen for some time and ended up like this. I hope that I find out soon or I will try to find information my way and with these cool powers, it's not going to be pretty.

"Hey Shadow! Want to play some video games?"

I turned around; Sari and Bumblebee were sitting on the couch waving a joystick in the air.

"What game?" I asked

"Only the best game ever; Galactic Ninjas 4! I always win!" Boasted Bumblebee

I smiled, "We'll see about that!" I ran to the couch and sat down and grabbed a joystick.

"3..2..1 FIGHT!" the game began

Bumblebee started winning, but I started to catch up, he doesn't know what's coming his way.

* Bumblebee's POV *

Beat me, no chance on that, what she doesn't know is that she's fighting against the person who beat all of the bots in this base. (Except Prowl, he didn't want to play.) I'm just waiting for the right moment to activate my super power and win this game; she'll never see it coming.

* Shadow's POV *

Amateur, he thinks I don't know what he's planning, he's obviously trying to make me win, and just when I'm about to, he will activate his super power which would put me K.O. It's time I show him, whose he really against. "Jump, double click, right kick, hand block, TRIPLE PUNCH!"

"K.O!"

"Yes! In your face! I beat the unbeatable!"

"How did you know that move?" Asked Bumblebee still shocked that I kicked his ass in video games.

"Learned it from a level 98 Space Samurai."

"No way level 98! How did you get someone on that level to teach you?"

"It only took a bet."

"Can you teach me?"

"Sure it's super easy, see. First you jump, then double click the A button, then right click, do a level four hand block, and end up with a triple punch, which you activate by clicking the buttons A and X at the same time, and there you go, you just learned, The Five Servos of Doom!"

"So cool! I demand a rematch!"

"Bring it on!"

We started another round and this time he tried to do the move on me, but I blocked using an enchanted block, anyway I beat him again, he demanded another rematch, but it was Sari's turn to play. She's actually really good at this game, but I just won the title of the Unbeatable, I don't mean to brag or anything, but it's pretty cool. At least I had my head taken away from the subject that my childhood was a lie and stuff, it felt good to play video games.

"Come Shadow, I have to show you your room, you don't know how awesome it is to have another girl to hang out with!"

"Okay, I'm coming!"

I got up and ran after her, I followed her through a long hallway and then we stopped in front of a door. She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. To my surprise the room was clean and organized, my bed was a big tire, it was laid down on the floor and in the middle of it was a mattress, some covers and a pillow. I smiled, looks like I don't have to sleep in the streets anymore. Sari pulled my to the edge of the bed and we both sat down.

"So how do you like it?"

"It's awesome, I've got to get some stuff, to make it more homey, but that's my problem. Thanks Sari, this is amazing, well now we can have proper sleep overs!"

We laughed, I sighed, it felt good to be somewhere where you feel safe. Speaking of sleep, my eyelids were slowly beginning to close themselves. Sari noticed this and got up.

"Well it's late, and you should get some rest."

"Yeah, we've been awake all night, I think it's like 5:00 A.M or something."

"Yeah, my dad's going to be worried, I got to go. See you tomorrow Shadow."

"See you tomorrow."

She left and I turned off the lights. I crawled under the covers and laid my head on the incredibly soft pillow. I sighed and quickly fell asleep. At last I could rest.

* Inside dream/flashback *

"Starscream, Blitzwing, were are you going?"

"Nowhere mom."

"Starscream don't lie to me, I know you two are going to see that friend of yours."

"No ve veren't!"

"There's no point in lying know, were caught."

"How many times do I have to tell you, you can't see her!"

"Vhy not? She's our vriend."

"When you are with her, you three always end up in trouble."

"That's not our fault!"

"Then whose?"

The both stayed quite.

"That's what I thought. Now stay here."

"But, ve can't leave her like that, ve're vriends and vriends stay together no matter vhat!"

"I understand, but I can't have you two always get in trouble. I'm going to talk to her parents."

"Vou can't talk to her parents, don't vou see, she doesn't have any. Ve are her only vamily."

"We bring her energon everyday and we keep her company."

Their mother looked at them with sad eyes and opened the door.

"Boys, what do you think of having a sister?"
