Chapter six: The Sleepover Part3

"What will we do now? Where do we go? Will we survive? What will our parents think when we don't get home?"I said in my drama queen character while pacing back and forth in the desert's sand.

"Sonny, chill out! We'll make it out of here? Isn't that right, Optimus?" Aurora asked.

"I'm tracking Ratchet's signal and it looks like base is southwest about 3,000 miles from where we're standing." Arcee stated.

"3,000 miles is a long road trip, Optimus. Do you think we'll make it by tonight?" Bulkhead asked.

"Bulkhead, it's not it's not about how long or far the journey is. All that matters is to get these little ones home." Optimus said to Bulkhead.

"Watch it, Prime! I'm not that little!" Aurora stated as she stomped her foot in the hot desert sand.

"We'll we'd better get started. Metal to the petal, guys!" Arcee shouted as she transformed into her motorcycle form.

"Bulkhead, keep these two cool." Optimus said as he placed us by Bulkhead.

"Alright, Optimus. Let's hit the road, girls!" Bulkhead said to us as he transformed and opened his doors.

"Road trip of epicness!" Aurora yelled as we jumped in.

It was a very long road trip, but Bulkhead played our favorite band cd about a hundred times before we got to base.

"Bulkhead, why aren't they getting out?" Arcee worried after Bulkhead opened his doors to let us out.

"I don't know." Bulkhead stated.

Arcee knelt down and looked where Aurora and I were sitting. She smiled as she saw that we were both asleep.

"I think I know why! Ratchet, get me a groundbridge to Aurora's house. I need to get these two home again." Arcee said as she held us.

Arcee carefully put us inside the camper and on our unmade beds then left for base.

When Arcee got back, the Autobots where waiting for her arrival.

"So what do you think of Aurora? Is she a character or what?" Arcee asked Bulkhead.

"Yeah, a character." Bulkhead sighed.

"What's wrong, Bulkhead?" Arcee asked him.

"Well, I just don't understand why Starscream would want Sonny and Aurora!" Bulkhead exclaimed.

"Maybe it's not Starscream that wants the girls, but his master." Ratchet pointed out.

"But Megatron…I thought…" Bulkhead was confused.

"I know, Bulkhead. We all thought that Megatron was gone for good, but we must keep our eyes open for the Decepticons. We have to keep those two girls safe from Megatron's hand." Optimus vowed.

"Soundwave, did you see any sign of our ship?" Starscream asked as he drug his feet through the desert. Soundwave shook his head.

"We must keep going until we see the ship." Starscream said exhausted as he fell on the sand.

"Is that…? KNOCKOUT! Over here! We're over here!" Starscream touched Knockout, but then Knockout disappeared.

"A desert Mirage! I'm going crazy!" Starscream screamed.

"Starscream!" Megatron yelled through his radio.

"Oh-no! Now I'm hearing things, too!" Starscream yelled as he ran in circles.

"Starscream, you fool! It is I, Lord Megatron!" Megatron yelled back.

"Oh, Lord Megatron! My apologies." Starscream said as he realized it was his communicator.

"Do you have the girls?" he asked Starscream.

"Well….define have…" Starscream sighed.

"You don't have them! You are useless to me, Starscream! I will send the drones for you and Soundwave anyway." Megatron said.

"Thank you for giving me a second chance, Lord Megatron! I won't let you regret this!" Starscream thanked Megatron.

"You had better not fail me next time! Otherwise, I won't have so much pity on you that I do now!" Megatron yelled.
