CHAPTER ONE
We Are Undercover Guards!
***
I bet the people at Adventure World got the biggest shock of their lives, when thirty-six people rocked up that morning.
Yes, we had all decided to go, even Ratchet and Ironhide, and let's just say that we were all feeling fairly conspicuous.
We might's well have been parading around in our robot forms!
So, we payed the people at the gate, and stepped through into Adventure World, as the speakers played the theme song from H2O: Just Add Water above our heads.
I should note here that, once again, I was the shortest of our group.
Why?
Because Kelsi was riding on Ironhide's shoulders, Shooting Star and Honey Bee were each riding on the shoulders of their respective Fathers, and Dragonfly was riding on Hornet's shoulders.
Blitzwing looked around and said: "Zis may shock you to know, but…I have never been to zis kind of place before…"
"Well then, that makes two of us." Wasp replied, rolling his violet eyes. He was standing right next to me, and it would have been unnerving, except I was totally focussed on having The Best Day Ever.
"We have got to do the Fear Factor Five today." Bee said firmly, and everyone looked at him.
"What's that?" Prowl wanted to know, his hand around Arcee's waist (aww…).
"Bianca told me about it," Bee said with a smile, as Shooting Star covered and uncovered his eyes with her hands. "It's The Tunnel Of Terror, Bounty's Revenge, The Power Surge, The Rampage and Turbo Mountain."
"And we can take the sparklings to the pool area, as well." Elita1 said quickly.
"Why don't we split up?" Arcee suggested, as we walked along a pavemented path.
"Noooo!" Honey Bee insisted. "I wanna go wherever Blitzy goes!" She and Blitzwing smiled at each other.
Screamer glanced at me, and I shrugged.
"Yeah, but I don't think kids are allowed on the rides we want to go on," Shadow pointed out quietly. "You're too short." She added, and the young girls pouted, but allowed themselves to be taken to the pool by Elita1 and Arcee, and Moth, Hornet, Ratchet, Sky, Sentinel, Zikya, Wheeljack, Optimus and Bianca went with them.
To my surprise, Ironhide, the Jet-Twins and Blitzwing immediately went with them too.
That left me, Bee, Screamer, Jazz, Shadow, 'Sides, Arlexa, Sunny, Andy, Streamer, Barricade, Skids, Mudflap, Angelina, Wasp and I to confront the Fear Factor Five.
"I give you ten seconds on Turbo Mountain before you get bored," I said to Blurr as we got inline for the ride, which is a rollercoaster. "And you give me ten bucks if I'm right." I added.
*
"Do-you-want-it-in-fives-or-two-dollar-coins?"
"Fives is good." I said smugly, as Blurr handed me the cash and I stowed it in our locker before we ran back to where the others were waiting for us, some patiently (Andy) and some not-so-patiently (Screamer, Bee, Wasp and Streamer – who was eager for the next ride, The Power Surge).
*
"Let go of the safety bar, 'Cadey!" Streamer yelled, as we all whizzed around on the ride.
Bee had his eyes closed the whole time, the wimp.
I gave him a hug afterwards.
*
Somehow, Wasp and I found ourselves sharing a tube on the Tunnel Of Terror, which is a pitch-black water slide.
"I think I'm suffering from hero worship." Wasp said suddenly, as we raced along in pitch blackness.
"Oh…who?" I asked.
He turned around and looked at me.
"Oh." That explained…everything. "Waspy, I am hardly hero material…is it because I converted you?"
"Probably." He mumbled.
I wonder if I was supposed to worship Fhantom…no, eww…
We came to the end of the slide, and I had managed not to get a single drop of water on me.
"Ha! Totally dry, baby!" I said, standing up triumphantly.
WHOOSH!!
Another pair came down behind me, and I got utterly drenched from behind.
Everyone started laughing at me, and I gave Wasp an annoyed look, because he was laughing too.
He only laughed even harder.
Okay, maybe the whole bully thing hadn't completely grown out of him yet.
*
We were standing by the pool, watching Arcee, Bianca, Moth and Elita1 teach the girls to swim.
They were very patient with them.
Blurr suddenly came running up behind me, grabbed me around the waist, and threw us both into the pool!
I shrieked, as we landed with a splash in the cold water, and Blurr raced away to the other side of the pool like a shark.
"BL-URR!!" I complained.
"Now-all-of-you-is-wet!" He called back, and Wasp, Sunny, Jazz, Streamer and Barricade started laughing.
In the shallow end of the pool, Shooting Star had swum all the way over to Jetfire and Jetstorm, whilst Honey Bee happily rode horsey-style on Blitzwing's back. Kelsi was swimming nearby with Ironhide, and Dragonfly was with her parents.
Wheeljack placed his hands on Zikya's stomach, and smiled at her. She smiled back.
I swam over to the side of the pool, and Screamer pulled me out of the water by my arms.
Bee handed me a towel.
"Thanks." I said to both of them, wrapping the towel around me, and then my eyes narrowed. "Who are they?"
Two young women, about my age, wearing official-looking uniforms were walking towards us.
One had long blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, and the other had silvery-blue hair curled up in two pigtails, Nurse Joy-style.
Both had sunglasses on, so it was impossible to see what colour their eyes were.
The girls were still some ways away from us, but clearly walking in our direction.
I looked across the pool at Wasp, who nodded once, and began rounding everybody up.
Shooting Star ran to me and wrapped her arms around my legs as the two girls reached us.
"Emma Pendanto?" The blonde one said in a sort of mechanical-sounding voice. She was a Transformer.
I nodded.
"Hey, wait a minute…" I heard Sunny mutter, from behind me where he had Kelsi by the hand. "I recognise that voice!" He let go of Kelsi, and made his way to the front of our group. "Chaser, is that you!?" He glanced at the blue-haired one. "And Dancer?"
'Sides hurried up to us. "Our cousins? Oh, it is you two! I don't believe it!"
"These are them!" Sunny laughed.
"You have cousins?" Bee asked them, as the two girls removed their sunglasses to reveal crystal-clear blue eyes. "Well, there goes the neighbourhood…"
"More like the entire galaxy." I replied, shaking my head.
Blurr, Sentinel and Optimus suddenly came to the front of the group.
"Undercover agents Sunchaser and Moondancer, what news do you bring us?" Sentinel asked them briskly.
"Well, at exactly 1700 hours the day before yesterday," Sunchaser said. "Dancer and I intercepted a transmission from the Decepticon Shockwave to the leader Megatron and The Fallen."
There were a few audible gasps.
"They are planning to utilize the energy from a mechanism in Egypt to destroy the earth's sun." Moondancer had a strange, song-like voice. It was haunting and strange and beautiful. "Tomorrow." She added, and all of us Autobots exchanged Looks.
"Uh…how many Decepticons are coming?" Bianca asked in a low voice.
"Unspecified," Sunchaser replied. "But past records show that Megatron still has over a hundred Decepticons at his command."
"Oh, we are so slagged." Bee said.
"Language." I said, before turning to Optimus, as Blurr began to talk very quickly with Sunchaser. "Optimus…I think we're gonna need the military's help again…"
It was a strange end to The Best Day Ever.

Meg: Lol. That happened to me after the Tunnel Of Terror. It was so embarrassing…
Wasp: I laugh at your misfortune. *Laughs*
