Chapter 2: Unknowns

"I tell you Cody, it was just like in Revenge of the Fallen. You know the scene when Sam dies and the Seven Primes are talking to him," Cody nods at his friend, "Yeah that scene, and they're all like saying it was 'his destiny'. It was just like it, but minus the Primes and Sam. The blinding white sand, and the constant wind… everything was the same! And I swear that I even heard the music – "Matrix of Leadership" – in the background! Like some deep rhythmic beat," said Shia as the two of them walked towards Cody's house. "I…I even saw the Matrix of Leadership!" Cody looked at her skeptically. "I'm serious!" protested Shia, as she planted a hand on her hip.

The brown-headed teen just laughed at his best friend's antic. She was so animated when she discussed awesome issues on her mind. Cody glanced around on the shady street they were strolling down. The late summer air was still stifling hot in North Eastern Nevada, but the steady breeze helped chase away the discomfort. The small two-story houses' shingles shimmered slightly in the setting sun as the sound of air conditions, barking dogs and humming insects filled the air. The waft of cooking hamburgers and BBQ made Cody's stomach growl as they paced a white fenced house.

He shifted the damp towel that was on his shoulder to around his neck. Shia and Cody just had gotten back from the local rec. center's swimming pool and they were making the trek to Cody's house.

"I honestly don't know what to think of this Shy? You must have really hit your head hard when you fainted after the Laser Tag tournament. You could have just been dreaming," he pointed out.

Shia looked up, glaring at Cody from under her baseball cap. "Well… I think it's something important. A sign to some great change that's soon to happen to me… or this universe."

Cody adjusted his sunglasses on his nose, "So you're suggesting we're falling through a rift between alternate realities? We're entering the Transformers Universe?" The teen rolled his eyes at the mere thought; it was just too impossible. It was magic, sheer fiction.

"Exactly!" chirped Shia as Cody nailed her point.

"Did these type of events happen in the fan fictions you usually read? This… um… set-up of events that led to an alternate universe?" asked Cody, trying to clear up what Shia was thinking. 'She's so crazy at times,' he thought.

"Well… let me think. Oh! Usually if the character is going across dimensions, they got an AllSpark shard from somewhere, or they meet up with a Cybertronian by accident," thought Shia, tapping her long index finger on her chin. "Or it was all the sudden everything changed and the whole franchise disappeared, like in one night. Gone! No one remembers and it doesn't exist, and only the main character knows that it's all-wrong and messed up. Then they simply get into trouble and the military comes and gets them. Also, like sometimes their necklaces of the insignia would glow before transformation into a Cybertronian, after crossing realties. Which I find highly illogical, but a really great story to read!"

Cody looked thoughtful. "Yeah, that is illogical. From what I can remember, shifting to human to bot to car isn't very realistic. Cool, but unreal. I'm all science and brains you know? None of us have an AllSpark shard, and we don't live in any of the cities where the movies took place, and I don't plan on going to any of them," he said counting off his fingers. "Nothing's changed to what I know. We do only own those Decepticon pendants we bought off the Internet which we thought were Autobots according to the website."

"Right," said Shia, "We should lock those up. Though I can't believe that website lied to us, but the Decepticons pendants were pretty cool."

"Yeah," Cody and Shia turned at a corner, heading down Cody and Shia's street. "Maybe it was just a dream Shia. You do love those movies a lot. With your active imagination, you could have conjured up anything."

Shia nodded as they crossed the street, heading towards Cody's small brown two-story home that was three doors down from hers. "Maybe you're right Code, but it felt so real. I say we should tread carefully."

Cody unlocked the front door of his house and stepped inside. "I also highly suggest that when we do look up Transformers, we should be discreet. Like search up 'Michael Bay' or the movie actors or even 'Steve Jablonsky.' That way we don't draw attention to ourselves by NEST or the Cybertronians before we can fully understand what might be happening."

"And," chimed in Shia as she removed her flip-flops at the threshold. "We can't greet anyone who looks like the actors by their character name. Especially vehicles. I have a tendency to call out 'Bumblebee' when I see a yellow Camaro."

"Hnn… true. Didn't you say that sometimes the Autobots or NEST show up where the character lives when they switch realities?"

"Yes."

Cody and Shia walked into the kitchen that was just left of the living room and front door. Shia sat down on a stool as Cody pulled down two glasses and filled them with ice cubes and water; a refreshing drink from the hot walk.

"Have you had any dreams like mine yet?"

Cody stopped, looking at his glass after taking a drink. He swirled the ice cubes around slowly. "No I haven't. Maybe I'll eventually forget and you'll go on remembering when we get sucked into the alternate reality."

"This all could be just our imagination, Code," said Shia drinking her water. "In ways it would be so cool to go to the Transformers movies, but it also would be so frightening and scary. What could we really do? We'd just be a hassle." she muttered the last part. After a moment of silence Shia looked up, "Maybe this isn't true and your princess hit her head pretty hard when she fainted in her princes' arms." Shia winked at Cody, a small playful smile on her lips.

A light blush crept over Cody's face as he turned away with a light chuckle. "Anyway, it's highly improbable Shy; because this is 2013, two years after Dark of the Moon and six after the first movie. The Transformers… at least the Autobots… didn't show up until '07. No one knows what the fourth installment will be about, so we can't count on appearing during that time period."

Shia was drinking her water and she just made a gurgle 'hrr' to Cody's statement. She finished it off and whipped away the excess water on her lips. "Well with the topic of the day, shall we turn on Transformers and have a marathon?"

Cody smiled, Shia was always so excited to watch the movies, and she claimed that they were her absolute favorites. "Sure, my parent's are out-of-town so we got the house to ourselves."

"Let's watch the Blu-ray ones!" she squealed and ran off towards the home movie theater in Cody's house. "You're the best Cody!"

Cody smirked to himself. Then he went about getting popcorn ready for the movie.

:(O):

As the two best friends were stretched out on the couches in Cody's home theatre, Cody began to do some web surfing on the Internet.

With the climax of Dark of the Moon nearing, Cody quickly did his last searches on information about the Transformer-trilogy movie production. Not the franchise or the storyline, a precaution he was taking. So far he'd searched 'Michael Bay' 'ILM movies' 'Steve Jablonsky,' and 'Shia LaBeouf.' All searches were coming back positive; the Transformers franchise was still there.

With Shia's fainting incident a few days ago, he highly doubted anything would change. Nothing had yet at least. So Cody turned down his questions as just a figment of the imagination and continued to watch the movie.

'Everything will be fine' he thought. 'We got the Recreational and All Terrain Vehicle competitions in a two days. Mom and Dad will be home in three. Everything will be fine Cody. Nothing is doing to happen.'

Or so he hoped.

KTAB: So, yeah it was a shorter chapter. But the next one will be longer, promise. I hope I don't offend anyone my slightly referencing their type of FanFiction. I love them all! Really I do! But Cody, like he said is "All science and brains..." or that's what he makes himself think. And sometimes I like to make my things seems somewhat possible. So don't hate me, K? *hides behind desk* That mention of the Decepticon Pendants really did happen to me! Apparently amazon needed to update their file on that item. But I kept it because it was a really sweat necklace!
