I have a poll on my profile page asking a question I really want to have answered. I'm trying to get as many answers as I can, and very few people visit my profile. I've gotten literally one answer in a week, and that's sad. Please answer, and be honest about it.

I only own my OC's!

Chapter 5: Worrisome Fire

"Just follow me, and remember, they're not going to hurt you all." I lead the rescue team and the mystery gang into the bunker. "Now remember, they're just like us, only giant and…able to turn into vehicles." Shaggy and Scooby nod, and we walk into their main room. I step forward and turn to them in particular. "They're harmless. They help us do our jobs. Cody, would you go get the bots?" Cody runs back to the rooms as Medix walks out of his room.

"Hey there." I smiling up to him. "This is my partner, Medix. He's an ambulance. I honestly don't know what I'd do without him."

Cody walks in then with the other bots. The immediately act like mindless drones.

"At ease, Rescue Bots." Chief Burns says.

"They are Heatwave, Chase, Boulder, and Blades." I look up and see a nervous look in Blades' eyes. I step over to him. "Blades, you okay?" I lay a hand on his foot.

Blades kneels down to me. "I've seen their show, Sheyenne. Where they go, monsters, ghosts, and aliens show up and attack."

"Yeah, I know. I watch it all the time too. But that doesn't mean there's going to be a random ghost or monster show up, and you are the aliens."

"But what about the decepticons?" Blades asks nervously.

I struggle to keep my expression stoic as fear floods my mind. "Did you have to bring up the…" I gulp. "Decepticons? I worked with Prime's team, I know all about them, remember?"

Shaggy walks over with Scooby. "Like, what's wrong?"

I rub the back of my neck. "Um…nothing. Blades here just reminded me of something I didn't want to remember." I say, not wanting to scare them.

"What is it?" Fred asks, walking over.

I look down as the other Rescue Bots walk up behind me, then look up at them nervously, wondering if any of them have the strength to defeat the decepticons, then look back down. "Decepticons. The villains of their kind." I look back at them. "I don't want you to be scared, they never come here—at least, they never have come here before. I know the Rescue Bots can keep us safe, but with Blades afraid of them…" I tremble slightly, causing Graham to walk over and pull me close. "I did my training with Team Prime's medic, so I saw a lot of the cons, and did a lot of Cybertronian repairs as well under their medic's watchful eye, but those red optics just give me the chills, and when Blades asked me if they would come around now, I got a little scared." I lean into Graham's shoulder slightly.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine now." I sigh before straightening up. "All right, now—"

Chief Burns' comm link goes off suddenly. "Yeah?" He sighs. "Team, we've got an emergency."

"Will we need Medix?"

"I'm not sure. A warehouse is on fire. They're not sure if there's anyone inside." Chief Burns says.

"You'd better get to the command center, Cody." Dani says.

"You guys can watch us work from there." I say as Heatwave raises the bunker floor to the garage.

As they follow Cody, I climb into Medix. "You're scared of a lot more than the decepticons. Even I know that."

"And Graham does too. I'm scared of fire, spiders, pain, snakes, heights, and decepticons, but the cons fear was real then." I sigh. "Same as my fear of…well, anything that's supposedly not real. Aliens, ghosts, monsters…your random sea monster."

"Primus, you're like Blades." Medix says.

"Well, duh! That's my point!" I sigh. "Er, sorry, Medix. I'm just a little on edge. There's a ghost in this town, and she may be harmless, but it's scary! I don't sleep well as a rule, but I barely slept last night for fear she'd come in and get me during the night."

"A ghost?" Daphne asks.

"She's harmless. Kade's seen her. She scared Jerry off the road and into the ocean, which started what turned out to be a hologram problem. Frankie and I were with Doc Greene, while my family and the bots were searching the town and Graham was guarding the jewelry store with Boulder. She's just searching for her husband and sons, who were lost at sea."

The four young detectives nod.

"A rhost?" Scooby asks fearfully.

"She's harmless. Morocco and his Mor-bot are a hundred times more dangerous than the Lady of Griffin Rock. My family has lived here for years, and the only strange things that have happened is when we got the Rescue Bots, and when Medix got here last month."

Dani and Blades fly over with the scoop-claw, using it to dump water on the fire as Kade and Heatwave fight it from the ground. Chief Burns and Chase keep the bystanders back. Boulder and Graham are studying the structure diagrams and trying to figure out how it started. Medix reaches up to a window and lifts a couple workers down, then transforms so I can check them over. After Dani and Blades make a couple more passes, they land and Dani walks over to me and picks up a stethoscope, prepared to help me. I simply smile at her gently and hook a mask up to an oxygen tank before handing it to her.

After the fire is out, Graham walks over as the other rescue bots transform. "Shey?" I look up at him. "Winsor was asking me about places to take Velma here on the island."

"Did you tell him about the Italian place on Main?" I turn away to lift a bag of medical supplies into Medix. Graham reaches over and lifts it in. "Thanks."

"Of course I did. It's your favorite place on this island. I was wondering if you would like to go there, make it a double date?"

"Why not?" I shrug. "It'll be nice. I think it'd be better to not go on a date in our work clothes, though."

I walk into the garage from upstairs. "Hey all."

"What took you so—" Graham turns. "Wow."

"Thanks." I'm wearing a red long sleeved knee length dress with red patent leather high heels. "Are we going or not?" I cross my arms jokingly.

Graham nods and the four of us walk down toward town. "There's something fishy about that fire today."

"Don't tell Blades." I say jokingly. I suddenly stop in my tracks. "Wait, what do you mean, something fishy?"

"For starters, there wasn't anything flammable stored there."

"So it shouldn't have caught on fire…but it did. It has to either be the twins or Morocco. I don't know who else on this island would attempt something like that."

"It could just be electrical. Kade and I are going back tomorrow. We're going to get to the bottom of this."

I nod. "That's good. That's something I need to know. Come on, we need to catch up with Winsor and Velma."

"What's going on?" Velma asks once we catch up.

"Possible mystery. Graham and Kade are going to look into it. Just don't tell Fred, Shaggy, Scooby, or Blades. Heatwave and Boulder can handle things on that end, and I'm not too worried about this. It could just be the twins or Morocco… again." I sigh. "Our rescue team can handle this. They're really good, and they've been handling it since they came here."

"Now that I know they're aliens…it seems strange to see them interact with the citizens without the citizens running and screaming."

"They have an act—Robots in disguise. They're only known as the Rescue Robots." I shrug. "It's better than having to stay in v-mode on calls."

"We did have a problem with wide-spread panic once." Graham says, "Cody played The Natives of Tathuti for the Rescue Bots, and Huxley Prescott picked it up on his SETI dish."

"Let me guess. He caused panic because he thought there was going to be an alien invasion."

"He left the SETI dish on high power, causing it to overload and take down the town's electricity. We met Cody at the power plant and got locked in. They ended up having to go solo to destroy the SETI dish and save the town." He pulls up the newscast from that day on his tablet and shows it to me. '"Robots without masters…could they be our aliens? Are they the ones who received that mysterious communication from space?"' plays over the tablet.

"Well, he WAS only half-wrong." I shrug. "It was just a movie."

"But they are aliens." Graham says.

"From the planet Cybertron." I say.

"Dad usually has to bluff his way out of their questions. This time he said that they already had their orders—"

"Which wasn't completely wrong, because you all told them to go stop the dish before it blew the town up."

Velma and Winsor share a look before all three of them look at me confusedly. "I listen to the bots when they tell Medix their tales." I shrug. "That one was kind of weird, so it stuck."

Graham nods. "The Rescue Bots tend to share our past missions with Sheyenne and Medix, so they know what to expect if something like that happens again."
