Chapter 2
It was around six o'clock when she got to her house. She had noticed the watson's were still awake. She made a mental note to visit before kickscream did. The first thing she did was walk to chips office/slash there bedroom. Chip had fallen asleep at the computer. "Heh, what am I going to do with you?" She whispered to herself. She gently picked him up out of hiswheelchair and laid him in bed. To her this was the most precious thing in the world. She also put a blanket over him. She walked out to the dining room after she finished changing into a jogging suit. "At least I'm not quizzing a tree con on the laws they have to follow living in a national park. This new species was a breath of fresh air to work with. She still had to deal with people like Lennox or agent burns making her life worse. Then there was a knock at the door. She walked to the door and opened it. In front of her was a blonde girl maybe 18 years old drenched in rainwater. She hadn't even realized it had started raining. Behind her was a man with brown hair and a flight jacket. "Kick why are using your holomatter avatar?" she asked confused. She paused and looked at the girl in front of her. "Also Why's the neighbor kid with you?" She asked. "Alice, wait up!" Another voice yelled. "I'm sorry to spring this on you but after I dropped you off these two told me there situation and you might wanna hear this Elaina." Kickscream said. She motioned for them to come in. The girls did so gladly. Kick was slower and quieter than the other two. Before sitting down she got herself some coffee. Plain black coffee that was it. "So what's up?" She asked. The two girls looked at each other as if they were trying to figure out where to start. "Start with the symbol on your shoulder," Kickscream said in a serious tone. The girl took off the vest she was wearing she then moved her long blonde hair out of the way. On her shoulder was a glowing Decepticon symbol. Her jaw dropped in shock it wasn't a tattoo that was obvious. "I contacted Preceptor. He hypothesized that factoring in her age and her apparent abilities this girl is the first neo-pretender." Kickscream said. Her friend wasn't his usual jovial self. he was more serious than a heart attack. Alice put her hand up. Everyone stopped and looked at her. "This part is cool, show them, Alice!" Charlie said excitedly. There was a wering noise than the normal transformation noise made by cybertronians. Alice's hand split and revealed a cannon. "That is both cool and disgusting." She responded. "Why do you guys think this is cool? I JUST WANT TO BE A NORMAL GIRL!" Alice said, becoming more annoyed to the point of yelling. She put her hand on Alice's hand. "I'm sorry about that. Is there anything we can do for you, Alice?" She asked silently. Alice hugged her crying. "It's okay let it out." She said in a calming voice. She turned towards kickscream. "Does your conjunx still work in Autobot security?" She asked. Kickscreams holo avatar put his hand to his chin. She had a plan. Said plan would help all parties here. "Yes, goldflight does. She got a raise recently. I'm so proud of her." Kickscream said. After that he bragged about his wife for five minutes straight. At the two-minute mark Charlie had left back to her own home. Kick only stopped after she gave him the death glare. She'd be damned if chip woke up. "So can you ask your conjunx if she can ask if I can hire Alice as my assistant?" She whispered. Alice looked confused. She looked down for a second. A single tear fell from her face. It wasn't noticeable. "Alice when I was your age I met a great Autobot named Midtruck. He was kind and sweet to an outsider nobody. After that I was never a normal high school girl. I'll never know how you feel but I can give you what was given to friendship." She said. "I'll think about it miss Thorenson."Alice said. Alice stood up and walked away waving goodbye as she left. "Elaina I'm heading back to HQ. I'll talk to them about hiring her. Oh ya Deepdive i going to take my place." Kickscream said with a grin. The avatar began disappearing as the rumble of a jet taking off could be heard outside. She walked towards the couch picking up her comic. She laid down and began reading the book.
