Chapter 5: Everything begins

It was 9:30am the next day and Sam was sat in her private study doing her homework that was set for her to do during the holidays. Although she couldn't concentrate as her mind was set on her new friends she had made yesterday. But something inside Sam made her really want to tell Poppy because they shared everything with each other. Suddenly Sam's phone started going off.

"Hi Poppy, what's going on...…..okay….just talk to him….. Yeah like your dad's going to give you an extra day off as soon as we get back…Hahaha…. Okay serious now….Look even I'm trying to the homework Mr Edwards set and well I've written one line…fine I'll see you soon…. Bye"

Never had Sam got stuck on homework before and it's not like she could ask her butler, Jeeves, to tell her what she's been up to. With a huff she jumped out of her seat grabbed her shoulder bag and left the room. Making sure she had everything she needed running down the stairs.

"Where are you going Samantha?" said Jeeves appearing out of no where

Rolling her eyes she replied "just out it's not a crime to go out you know Jeeves"

Leaving the house Sam started to walk towards the park it wasn't far away but Sam just needed to get away from her house. Walking down the street looking all around her and seeing people spend time with their families Sam started to cry knowing she could never spend time with her parent s like that. Little did she know that just behind Samantha, Bumblebee was watching. Eventually, after reaching the park Sam sat down on one of the swings and just observed all the people around her, taking in a breath of fresh air to stop her from crying.

"Mum and dad can buy me all the presents in the world but I'll never want anything but to spend time with them" cried Sam

Suddenly Sam heard the transforming noise her friends make when they change form looking up from her hands that were hiding her face, Sam knew she was in trouble.

"Now this time little girl you're going to give me the All Spark" said Demolishor

Looking down at her was the robot from the woods immediately knowing what he was after Sam ran towards the road hoping he would go away so that no one else saw him but he didn't.

"Aw little Samantha is running away what makes you think that I won't be able to get you"

Demolishor was about to grab Sam when Bumblebee jumped in to action, transforming in to robot mode and punching Demolishor in the face. Looking behind her Sam saw the con fall to the floor and bumblebee signalling for her to run, nodding in response Sam knew the one place that she could rely on and that's Poppies house.

"Hey Sammy, what you doing here? I think I can manage my dad by myself" greeted Poppy

Sam just laughed before being let in. Sitting down in Poppies room Sam got really worried about Bee and the fact that there were people about as well, there was no way that two bots transforming and fighting could have gone without being noticed.

"Sam are you okay? You don't seem yourself, well not since yesterday" asked Poppy

Sam knew that if she told Poppy her secret she would be breaking Primes orders but it's hard to keep stuff secret from your best friend.

"I'm fine Poppy just a bit stumped from that old house"

"We should go there more often, you no hang out" suggested Poppy

Sam just laughed and looked out the window knowing that bee was out there with a decepticon, risking his life to save Sam.

"Poppy we've got the big Oak tree to hang out at plus I don't think that house is safe."

Poppy just shrugged at the reply she got.

"Want a drink mum recently brought some coke?" asked Poppy

"Please"

Still looking out the window Sam felt her pocket vibrate a little she waited until Poppy was downstairs then took out the cube. It was glowing like mad as if it was trying to tell her something.

"Bee" whispered Sam

Holding the cube close to her chest and closing her eyes Sam thought that something must have happened to Bumblebee. Sam started to feel the cube moving inside her hands, opening her eyes and opening her hands Sam saw the most amazing and small thing she thought she could see.

"How did that happen" questioned Sam

Looking down in to her hands Sam no longer saw a cube glowing but a necklace in the shape of an S. All silver and metal and glowing, placing it around her neck Sam saw that it matched her perfectly.

"So I suppose it's not just Autobots and decepticons that can disguise themselves" laughed Sam

Coming up the stairs carefully so that she didn't spill the drinks Poppy overheard Sam muttering something about disguises.

"Okay Sammy here's your drink, now you gotta help me with the report"

Taking the drink from Poppy Sam started to think of how they could best explain what they did yesterday without telling people they were in the forest.

"You know we could say that we were on the other side of town hanging out or in newhampton" suggested Sam hoping Poppy wouldn't realise that she had a necklace on.

Nodding in agreement Poppy started writing, time from time she would look up and ask Sam what they did and have a drink. After three hours both began to get drowsy due to being inside so they both left Poppies house and walked down the road.

"So what plans should we make hey Sammy?"

Shrugging Sam knew she couldn't make too many plans from time to time she would have to check in with the Autobots as they would worry about her eventually.

"Why don't we just see what the holidays bring us, Okay Pops" said Sam

Both friends had no idea where they were headed but with the lovely day they were having it didn't matter for them.

"So how's your father Poppy isn't he supposed to go somewhere for the weekend?" asked Sam

"Yeah I think it was chechestshire but the thing is I don't want him to go and neither does mum. We both wanted to go away together this weekend but I don't see that happening now." Complained Poppy

Sam felt bad for her friend and just replied "Your dads the head teacher at our school you can't blame him for going away for a business trip. You just got to look at it on the bright side."

Poppy didn't understand what Sam was saying.

"I don't get to see my parents anymore because of business like when they say they are coming to visit they don't. There is always something to do with work that comes up. "Huffed Sam

Poppy knew how many times her friends parents stood Sam up and she knew that she was lucky that her parents didn't do that. Just in front of the two girls parked up was a yellow Camaro, immediately it came to Sam that Bumblebee was fine and was back to his post of watching her again. Smiling at the car as they walked past Sam put her hand up to the car hoping Bumblebee would understand her.

After walking to the centre of town Samantha and Poppy noticed that all that walking and talking had made them hungry.

"Wanna go get a burger from McChluckin and do some shopping while we're here Sammy?"

Thinking about it for a while Sam new she had to get back to her house soon and write up what she had done over the past two days but she did have time for a burger.

"I'll go for the burger Poppy but I gotta get back and start writing up my report, otherwise I'll probably have Jeeves on my tail until I do." Laughed Sam
