Chapter Five
Coby frowned. Something was not right, he could feel it. He looked around him, but all he could see was black. He took a step, heard a clunk, and looked down.
He gasped in shock. What had happened? This wasn't his body! This was a Transformer's body! He stretched his hand out, and the Transformer did the same. He took another step and heard a clunk as the Transformer did too. There was no doubt about it. Somehow, he had become a Transformer.
Hearing a cry, he turned and saw a dark shape firing plasma bursts at a fleeing human. He felt his heart stop as he recognized Lori. Someone was attacking her, and she was already hurt. Her right arm was missing, nothing more than a bloody stump.
His blood boiled and his adrenaline surged. No one EVER attacked Lori! Not while he had anything to say about it!
He started to run toward her, but he wasn't moving. Lori had tripped and fallen. He tried to reach her. He HAD to reach her! Her assailant walked up to her, pointing a gun at her huddled form. Coby cried out, trying to run. He started to move, but not fast enough. He called out a war cry, trying to distract her attacker.
The gun barrel flashed as a plasma burst swept over Lori, destroying her!
Coby woke with a gasp. His heart was beating fast, and his lungs were probably going faster. He began to calm down, and felt something tracing a line on his cheek. He brought his hands up to his face and realized he was crying. Damn it, Coby, he cursed to himself in frustration, it was just a dream. Everything's fine. Lori's not dead, and you're not a Transformer. There's no reason to cry about a bad dream. But he did anyway. He was scared.
Drying his eyes, he realized that his clothes were sticking to his skin. Muttering a few more curses, he stripped of all his clothes and sat huddled up on top of his bed. He calmed down, rocking himself back and forth. In spite of the cold night and the fact that he was naked, he was still hot and sweaty. He couldn't shake the fear he was feeling. He rolled on to his side, his knees still curled up to his chin. He was soon fast asleep again, the nightmare completely forgotten.
He woke up the next morning due to a pair of lips pressed against his. Snapping his eyes open, he saw Lori's smiling face next to his. He smiled and sat up. "I'll have to decide what I like better," he said. "An annoying alarm clock that won't shut up, or my girl giving me a kiss." He leaned forward to kiss her again, but she turned away, a blush reaching up to her ears.
"Put something on before Bud sees you. You never know when he's got his camera on you," she said sheepishly. Coby blushed, realizing that he had probably just shown Lori something that wasn't her business to see, and quickly got up and dressed. As he put on his usual wardrobe consisting of blue cargos and a long sleeved white polo, he took a look at what Lori was wearing. She had on black jeans and a red t-shirt, and she had pulled her hair back into a pony tail. It was one of her favorite styles, and one he liked too. He tugged his shoes on and asked, "How'd you get in? I thought I locked my door, and if I didn't it would have squeaked loud enough to wake me up if you had come in that way."
Lori turned toward him, smiling at his outfit, and shook her head. "I unlocked the door between our bathrooms last night," she explained.
Coby sighed in amusement that she would do that just to play his alarm clock. "I love you, Lori," he said and embraced her, drawing her into a passionate kiss.
She broke it off, smiling at him. "I dreamed about you last night," she whispered.
"Really?" he asked. "What happened?"
"We were lovers."
"WHAT?"
Lori giggled slightly and stepped back. "Yep, but don't get too excited yet, I've got another bomb to drop." She stopped and took a breath. "In my second dream, we had an eight year old son."
Coby's mind reeled, "How is that possible? Did we look any older?"
She shook her head, "No, in my dream, we were as young as we are now, but we looked different. We had metallic skin and Cybertron emblems."
"It was just a dream, right?"
"Yes. Why? Is the prospect of raising a family too scary for you?"
He laughed, "I like the idea, especially with you. But it is way too early for such a thing."
Lori laughed too, "True. Now how about we go have breakfast. We're leaving in twenty minutes."
Coby nodded and offered her his arm. She took it and they walked off together, arm in arm, and her head leaning on his shoulder.
