Sorry for the weird ending. I literally had no idea on how to end this for what's coming next. Thought this was the best way to do so…

I do not own any part of the Transformers franchise. Transformers belongs to it's sole producers, companies and franchises.

I don't know if I like this one or not. No matter what I tried to do to it it just never sounded right to me. I tried to make it sound the best I could…Oh well, maybe I'm being too critical.

Enjoy! All reviews are welcome!

XOXOX

"Thanks Sideswipe." Carly replied as she closed the driver's side door behind her.

"Anytime." Sideswipe told her as he backed out of the driveway and started to drive back to NEST.

Without stepping foot inside the house, Carly immediately opened the garage door. And the first thing that Sam noticed was the Mercedes SLS AMG.

"Woah, you have an SLS AMG, that's like a $200,000 car! How'd you get this!" Sam couldn't help but to question as he walked around the car while admiring it.

Without knowing how to answer him, Carly flipped opened the drivers side door and slipped in without saying anything at first as Sam did the very same. In fact, she didn't know why, but she mentally prepared herself for the rest of the night. She knew there would be questions fired at her, and all she was doing was preparing herself on how she was going to answer them. Including one question, or a topic she was not prepared to answer or go near. But, she figured she would save that for last in hopes that, that wouldn't even be brought up tonight. Carly hoped as she started to drive off in the Mercedes with Sam…a fantasy she has had ever since she realized she liked him, but now…it barely meant anything. She almost couldn't help but to think to herself as she decided to answer Sam because she couldn't take the awkward silence that seemed to fill the inside of the car.

"My boss gave it to me. Its more of a company car." She tried to explain.

"A company car…who the hell do you work for that gives you a Mercedes SLS AMG!" Sam questioned.

"Dylan Gould, he's the CEO of Hotchkiss Gould Investments. But I basically just help him maintain his private elite car collection. I normally get a bonus every year, but instead…he gave me this. I don't mind though, it keeps me from driving the Camaro every day." Carly explained as she just couldn't help but to ask a few questions herself.

"Why do you even care? I haven't heard from you in like months…and now all of a sudden I do…"

"I know, that's totally my fault and I understand if you hate me right about now…"

"I don't hate you Sam. I'm just confused is all. We spent that much time talking and going back and forth texting while you were still at school…and then…nothing. I just don't understand." Carly said as she truly and honestly wanted to know what happened between them.

However, Sam fell silent as he looked out the window before he answered her. Truth of the matter, was that he was at fault…and he knew it. And that was one of the reasons why he wanted to hang out with her tonight, to explains things. Sam couldn't help but to think as he still continued to look out the window. And noticing this, Carly couldn't help but to roll her eyes wondering why Sam fell silent. In her mind, she's was sort of thinking that she should have stayed back at base. Even though she didn't want to be there when they revived Sentinel…that still would have been better than sitting here with Sam in an awkward silence. Carly couldn't help but to think as she noticed Sam cleared his throat as he readied himself to answer Carly's questions.

"I know…and I'm sorry. That whole thing was entirely my fault, and…you were completely right…about everything. I just thought that things would be different this time around with Mikaela. We've both liked each other for a while, but…for some reason…it just never works out. I'm sorry…everything you thought of me was true. Yes I liked you, but was too concerned about Mikaela to care. Truth is Carly, I screwed up…and honestly…the reason why I called you this morning…was because I've been think about it…a lot. That's all I've been thinking about. And…I was hoping that maybe we could start over or something. I really like you Carly, I've just been a complete idiot…and…I'm sorry. And…if you can find someway to forgive me…to put that whole fucking mess behind us…I would love to go out with you. That is, if you are willing to go out with me." Sam replied as Carly practically stopped the Mercedes dead in her tracks.

Tires squealed as she stopped the car out of total shock and luckily, they were by their local high school in which Carly just pulled into the parking lot. It wasn't as if she couldn't drive anymore, no…that wasn't it. It was just that Sam had just completely took her off guard by saying what he said. She was just hoping that, that topic wouldn't have come up…however, she knew there was no way around it now. She knew she had to tell him the truth about Optimus. Even though she's been dreaming about Sam asking her out for years…it was as if that didn't matter now. It seemed like the only thing that mattered was how on Earth was she going to explain to him about Optimus. Carly couldn't help but to think as she mentally envisioned herself pounding her fists into the steering wheel because this was not a subject she didn't want to discus. This was hard enough, but she knew that explaining Optimus to Sam was going to be even harder. And yet, at the same time…she knew it had to be done as she cleared her throat, tightened her grip around the steering wheel and prepared herself to explain Optimus to Sam.

How in the world was she going to do this? Carly couldn't help but to think to herself as she just decided to just start explaining things no matter how things would come across at first. She knew Optimus needed to be explained.

"While that's what I've been dreaming about for quite some time, I'm afraid that won't be possible…" Carly started to explain as she saw Sam looking over at her with a confused look plastered on his face.

"Sam, things have happened…things I just can't explain. But to make it short…I can't be with you now because I belong to Optimus Prime." Carly explained as Sam just burst out into laughter.

"I'm not joking around Sam…I AM OPTIMUS PRIMES'S!" Carly replied with re-enforcements.

And at the tone of Carly's voice, Sam stopped his insane laughter and looked over at Carly who was being completely serious. However, he couldn't bring himself to say anything. Not one word because he had no idea what to even say.

"You don't believe me…do you?" Carly questioned as she noticed the dumbfounded look on Sam's face.

"How can I! I mean, I know Optimus has been your guardian…but…you're like seriously d-dating him? How is that even possible!" Sam couldn't help but to question.

"Not "like dating," him Sam. I AM HIS!" Carly tried to explain even though she could still tell that Sam wasn't understanding her.

'Uh, please don't make me show you…' Carly couldn't help but to think to herself even though she knew she was going to have to anyway.

And as she figured, she did as she annoyingly rolled her eyes as she stepped out of the car and stood in the empty space next to it.

"You don't believe me that I belong to Optimus? Like them, there's more to me than meets the eye Sam." Carly told him as she proceeded to transform into her newly obtained vehicle mode.

Needless to say, Sam was flabbergasted as his jaw practically hit the pavement as he stared at this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle with a paint job that matched Optimus's perfectly, which was Carly's newly obtained vehicle mode.

However he wasn't the only one who was flabbergasted.

"How in the hell…how is this even possible!" Sam questioned as he couldn't help but to walk around the Chevelle before Carly transformed back into her once true human form.

"Well, um…" Carly began as she scratched the back of her head and look around out of completely nervousness because she didn't want to explain this. Carly couldn't help but to think as she motioned for them to get back into the Mercedes. She figured that if maybe they started driving again, maybe things wouldn't be so awkward…or, at least she thought.

As Carly flipped the driver's side door opened, she noticed that Sam was still outside the car.

"Unlock the door!" Sam told her.

She was however, expect…the passenger side door wasn't unlocking. Then, she tried getting out of the car to see what was going on and she wasn't able to get out herself.

"My doors locked Sam…I can't get out!" She explained as both her and Sam tried to fettle with their doors as it was completely no use.

And then within a blink of an eye, the Mercedes took off leaving Sam standing there alone in their local high school parking lot.

"Decepticons!" Sam frantically thought to himself as he quickly retrieved his cell phone from his pockets while practically dropping it in the process.

And to his surprise, he got Optimus.

"Sam, what's going on?" Optimus questioned.

"Decepticons, they're back…they've got Carly!..."

"What! Where are you! Ratchet!..."

"Can you lock onto Sam's coordinates from his cell phone?" Sam heard Optimus ask Ratchet in the background.

"What! You can't leave now!" Ratchet insisted as they had just revived Sentinel.

"I've got to, they've got Carly! I'm sorry Ratchet…I'll be there shortly Sam!" Optimus finally told Sam as he sat there and nervously waited for Optimus.
