Chapter Three - Meeting The Humans

The next time I woke up, I was on a table with Rachet standing above me. He gave a relieved smile when he saw that I was awake. I looked down at my arm which was stinging to see that it was in the process of being patched up Rachet. He melded the wires together to stop the blue liquid from leaking and although it hurt a lot it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.

I gave a sleepy yawn as I ignored whatever else Rachet was doing, looking around the room I saw that it was just Rachet and I in here. It looked like some sort of medical bay except a thousand times bigger.

"There we are, all done" Rachet spoke as he replaced my armour. He scooped me up and took me into another room where everyone else was waiting.

"She's alright!" Lennox gave me a soft smile as I looked down at him. I returned his smile as I was placed on the floor. I stretched my tiny robot arms and tried not to shoot anything as my guns came back into view. I aimed them all at the floor to avoid killing any of the humans who suddenly looked nervous.

I smiled but froze when my body tingled. I watched as a blue light slowly traveled my arms and wherever it touched my armour grew. My tiny robot body was no longer as I grew at least a foot so that I was now about that same size, maybe smaller than the humans.

They all gave me surprised looks as I stood up, feeling very pleased with my new height. This was more like it. I stretched my shoulders behind me feeling much better as my arm had healed over very well.

Almost as soon as I was feeling better, I was hit with another hunger pang, this one almost ten times worse than the one yesterday.

I coughed as I tried to speak, thinking that I would be able to. I waved my arms towards Rachet, hoping he would get the message. He nodded and left the room, hopefully to get some of that energon stuff.

"So, how're you feeling?" Lennox asked me.

I nodded. He furrowed his eyebrows. "When's she gonna be able to talk?" Both of us turned to Optimus, I was very interested in his answer.

"She should be able to after the next two growth cycles"

I was pleased with this, I would be able to tell them I was human and there was some massive mistake. I winced as I wondered how I was going to go about that, they would think I was crazy. I stopped and looked down at my robot body.

They already knew about giant robots, how bad was a human in a robot body really going to affect them? I sighed before looking at how much taller the other robots were, I had a lot of catching up to do.

"Enough staring at the baby robot, we have work to do" Lennox shouted, leading his fellow soldier out of the door and into another room. "Optimus?"

Optimus looked at me once more before following the soldiers. I had the feeling that whenever he was looking at me he was remembering something, or someone.

The main door opened and Rachet came in holding the vat. I got up and managed to walk towards him, he took my tiny hand and led me back to the medical bay.

"I just want to moniter your progress while your feeding" He explained, setting up a few pieces of equipment around me. He opened the lid of the vat and placed it next to me, immediately my chest plates opened and the feeding process began.

He made me flex my arms and legs, testing my reflexes and everything else. He connected me up to their frequency so that I could hear all of their voices in my head whenever they needed me, or when I needed them. I was happy with this, as it meant that I wasn't going to get lost anytime soon.

Seeing as I still couldn't talk and could only communicate through beeps, and other small noises it was quite diffuclt to test this out, but Rachet was very helpful. I got chirps back from Bumblebee when he heard me, the connection soon broke off but it made sense when Bumblebee entered the bay.

He came towards me looking jubilant. I wondered why he was so happy, but realised it must have been because he was the first I contacted, or just simply because I sent him some chirps.

He crouched down to sit next to me, even as I was on the table he was still slightly taller than me. His eyes were alight with joy and he seemed to have quite a lot of trouble staying still.

I could tell Rachet was getting annoyed, seeing as Bumblebee had placed himself in the way. "Don't you have to get Sam and Mikaela?" Bumblebee's eyes widened, before he gave off multiple panicked noises as he stood up and ran out of the room.

I laughed, which sounded like chirps and clicks, and looked at Rachet, who was seemingly pleased that he had no more distractions and all of his space back.

When my feeding session and medical check was finished I sat watching Rachet clean up all of his stuff. I was very interested in one of the machines that kept beeping and I reached out to touch it, what happened was a very unpleasant experience.

As soon as my hand touched it, the machine sparked and emitted and even louder beeping noise while giving me an very powerful electric shock. Most of my senses and gear shut off, I powered down but soon rebooted. It was a very strange sensation and as my eyes opened I saw Rachet fussing over me, reminiscent of this morning.

He moved the beeping machine away from me, and any other object that I could hurt myself with before scanning me, seemingly satisfied with what he found.

I would not be doing that again. The machine beeped again, and I had the compulsive urge to touch it once more. I glared at my hand as it twitched.

There had to be something wrong with me.

I tried to twiddle my thumbs but found it very difficult. I guess being in a new body that kept adjusting was going to take time to get used to so I decided to improve myself. By twiddling my thumbs.

It took a long time to actually get it right, my thumbs kept hitting each other and it was very frustrating. I heard a chuckle above me as I finally got it right, and I realised that Rachet had been watching me. I could feel my cheek plates get slightly hot and I couldn't believe that as a robot I could still blush. I ignored this as best as I could as I tried to keep concentrating on my thumbs, feeling pleased that I had better control.

I wanted to get down from the table but it was still a bit too high for my liking and I didn't want to hurt myself by jumping down so I decided to just wait it out. Rachet had to leave at some point right?

It turned out we didn't have to leave for something interesting to happen as Bumblebee came back, but this time he was accompanied by two humans. A male and a female, I looked down over the edge and cocked my head at them.

Both of them didn't seem to know why there were here and were looking around curiously. I chirped and withheld a laugh at their shocked faces where they caught sight of me.

"Woah, it's a mini robot" The male breathed.

"Sam, Mikaela this is our Sparkling" Rachet picked me up off the table and placed me in front of them, seeing as I wasn't as small as I was previously I was basically the same height as them but more mechanical.

"Sparkling?" Mikaela asked.

"Baby robot" She nodded, cautiously approaching me.

"Hello there" She cooed. I snorted, unable to help it. What did she think I was, a baby? I stopped. Yeah I guess I could let her get away with it then. I held out my hand for her.

She took it hesitantly and I shook it. Both her and Sam looked awed while Rachet and Bumblebee looked on curiously. Rachet seemed impressed with my 'human interaction'.

I was just impressed I'd not shot anyone yet.

"What's his name?" Sam asked, I shot him a glare and an angry chirp.

"She" Rachet paused "Doesn't have a name"

Review? I would like some help coming up with her name, every idea I have just sounds a bit cheesy and crap so some help would be appreciated.
