Sariel: O_O... oh shit.

Interlude: September 22, 2007
Moran Residence
Grey eyes met brown ones as Aura started a staring contest, and it was evident that the older girl was losing. Badly. She squinted with exertion, the seconds passing, but Sarah just coolly stared back. Sarah was bored enough that she was willing to humor her sister, and smirked when Aura gave a whine, defeated, "Argh! Why can't I ever win this! Not once!"
"You fail to concentrate," said Sarah, rolling her eyes, and Aura flopped back onto the sofa with a groan, hair falling into her eyes. She growled, regretting cutting her shoulder length hair into a bob cut. "Why did I cut my hair again?" she whined loudly, but Sarah just shrugged, hiding her face behind the California Times. "Because you were being an idiot again? I dunno," she said, moving the paper closer to her face.
"Did you get the new caribana wax? We're running low on it," asked Aura, blowing her bangs out of her vision. "Got another about three days ago. We need to change the oil in the Charger soon. Why are you so worried?" "I'm not. Just thought I'd let you know."
"We haven't seen Sam in a while, have we? Maybe we should visit," suggested Sarah. "Nah. Don't get me wrong, but I think that kid's annoying," said Aura.
"Why? Doesn't he go 'No no no no no no no no no!'" every movie? I thought it was amusing," said the younger sister, skimming the articles for useful information.
Aura closed her eyes, thinking over the events in the movies. She grimaced at the memory of seeing Ironhide be killed by the traitorous Prime, and gritted her teeth when she remembered how Mearing threatened the Autobots.
"I don't think we should interfere, for now," Sarah said about ten minutes later, closing the newspaper and tossing it onto the coffee table, getting up from the arm chair when she glanced at the clock. It was nearly eleven, and she went to the kitchen to make some coffee.
"I'm going to watch the 1986 movie," piped up Aura from the living room as she rolled off the sofa, and got off the carpet when she landed. "You're welcome to come watch it in my room if you want."
"Have fun," said Sarah absentmindedly, pouring the sugar into the dark liquid, then swirling milk in the caffeinated beverage. She went to the freezer to crack an ice tray open, grabbing two cubes to dunk into the hot coffee and depositing the plastic tray back inside. The girl walked over to the living room again, coffee grasped securely with two hands.
She turned the living room television on, flicking through the channels, watching sitcoms and occasionally changing to soap operas.
About two hours later, Aura poked her head out of her room, disk in hand, and came to find Sarah taking a nap in front of the TV. A smile flickered on the grey eyed woman's face, and went to remove the remote from the ground, turning it off and shook her head. 'She works so hard,' thought the older Moran, memories flicking to Sarah working on various client's vehicles. She shrugged, and left her sister be, going to do the laundry.
Dream
Brown eyes flicked open, and Sarah stood up automatically, eyes taking in the grassy field snapping to attention. "Where am I?" "We meet again, Sarah Serena Moran," said a metallic tinted voice, and Sarah whirled around to find a golden plated mech standing before her, towering over the human girl. "Primus," she nodded, looking up to golden optics. "I haven't heard of you in weeks. Nearly thought you forgot about us."
"I never forget my Chosen, Miss Moran," said Primus, "I did bring you into this world, after all." "Yeah, I have a question about that," said Sarah conversationally, crossing her arms. "When do you plan to have Aura and I start your grand plan of saving this universe from destruction?"
"Soon, young one. Soon," says Primus after a moment, then he shrunk in size, becoming a human sized mech. "My youngest Prime does not know your role. He cannot know that I brought you here, especially because I have sworn to never interfere. He hears the voices of the deceased, but even they do not have the knowledge that I have a metaphorical datapad in my subspace."
A second passed, and Sarah nearly blinked rapidly in succession. Did Primus just…?
"I did," says the golden mech, and Sarah had the grace to look sheepish at being caught. "It's not fair you can just read my mind like that," the woman complained lightly, and Primus just gave a little laugh.
"Of course, we are in your mind currently. It would be difficult not to, seeing as you are projecting your thoughts," said the god, then he became serious. "As days pass, your sister is thinking of her purpose. Do not let her forget why I sent you here, and do not let her stray from the path I am setting for her."
Sarah stared at the mech strangely, the first question escaping her mouth, "How will I know she is? As of now, her loyalties are with the Autobots…" Realization dawned on her face, and her expression morphed into apprehension. "Are you saying…that she will side with the Decepticons? Why would you want that to happen?! Are you insane?! All her knowledge of the movies will give them an unfair advantage-!"
"That is enough," said Primus with finality, frowning, "Your sister will help lead the Decepticons into peace with the Autobots, and that is final."
Sarah gritted her teeth, and fear for her sister was obvious. "It will destroy her," she whispered, and Primus nodded.
"It is the only way. As it is with Cybertron, it will be on Earth," said Primus, and it seemed he was starting to feel pity for the human.
"Megatron was Optimus' older brother," says Sarah, voice hollow. "History will repeat itself." She bit her lip, the expression of regret fixed on her face. "I…I need to think about this. Alone, please," she requested, and Primus nodded.
"I give you one week to decide for sure. Farewell, Sarah Moran, and we return here in seven days."
The grassy field melted away with the golden mech, and Sarah was left in a white space, emptiness to the left and to the right. "God help me," she said.
End dream
Brown eyes opened to a blue ceiling.
I'm so sorry that this mini-chapter is so short. I guess it is an interlude, but tomorrow is the first day of college, and I won't be able to do much for the next month.
Argh! RL is so tiring! Damn it!
I'm not sure if I'm being a bit cliche with the whole Dream thing. Yikes, I was nervous writing this down.
Aura: I can't believe you Sariel! Sarah and I will have to watch you do essays! ESSAYS! I hate essays!
Sarah: Yesh, calm down. Look what I have to do!
Anyway, see you all later suckerz!
