I have no clue why the title is 'Diego Seduces Garcia', when there's obviously no seducing in the chapter XD
I have to apologize for the humongous amount of mistakes! Like 'our' is 'out' or 'put', you know, my computer just doesn't see that as mistake and I can't correct it. :/ So sorry about that. And it's starting to go retard on me.
And in chapter 18, I wrote 'in all his glory', which means in the nude, thanks to Verbophobic, now I know the real meaning of the word. If you saw it somewhere in the chapters, I thought it meant 'all puffed up, standing straight, tall etc.', definitely not naked.
LOL, I fail as a human being. XD
Amanda woke me up, saying we better hurry if we didn't want to miss class. I had to shoot up straight from my bed and get another shirt on from the bags and sprint out of the house. As Amanda locked the door, thinking Ron was outside in his truck, I asked her what classes we had.
Apparently, we had all the same classes, which was a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because I couldn't get lost with her knowing the way around the college and a curse because I probably wouldn't be able to get away from her at all. Not that I wanted to, but I do have these moments when I need to space out. Don't we all?
So as we ran out the dorm, I thumped Ironhide, just saying goodbye in a way and ran after Amanda. Running never felt this good, let me tell you that. I missed it a lot, I hadn't played volleyball since the tornado incident and I missed it, too.
So eventually, she and I got to our first class, which I didn't even know what it was. Just great.
"Good morning class. Today we are going to do literature." The teacher said. Just my luck. English poetry. Crap. I had enough of that it high school, now more? "I see we have a new student." She said, looking up at me. I nodded and crooked a smile at her. "Introduce yourself, dear." The old woman said.
"Hi, I'm Melissa and I'll be attending this college." I muttered. I heard whispers, but paid no attention to them. People always whisper. And I hate it. Especially when you're not the one who's whispering. I lay back in my seat again as the teacher got her notebook out and started asking them questions and all that crap.
I wanted to fall asleep so many times in this boring class. Half of the students were sleeping anyway. Eventually it rang, so Amanda and I went on a lunch break outside the college. There was a small shop where we bought sandwiches and then we sat on a bench.
"How're you liking it?" Amanda asked, taking a bite of her sandwich.
"It's okay I guess. English's boring."
"It always was and always will be, trust me."
"I know… Just can't wait to get over with this day." I said. We ate for a couple of more minutes and returned to class.
XxXxXxXxX
As always, I was dead after class. Amanda had to drag me to our dorm. School is boring, hard, boring and hard. And I don't want to go. I have to, but I don't want to. Not like I have much of a choice, Uncle said I needed education. Which reminds me, I should talk to him. I haven't heard from him in a while, though I reckon Ron keeps him updated.
As Amanda opened the door, she let me in and closed it after me. "Hungry?" She asked. I nodded. "Pizza?" She reached for the phone. I remember how that one went. Pizza and bombs.
"Just let me check with Ron." I said, getting out of the apartment and into the parking lot in front of the dorm where Ironhide was. I mimicked taking my keys out of my pocket, which I don't really know why I carried keys to Ironhide, but still. I pressed the button as the signal lights went off, following a couple of beeps and then silencing. I got into the driver's seat and closed the door, so it looked like I was searching for something.
"Hey Ironhide, Amanda's going to order pizza, do NOT attack the delivery guy. Understood?" I looked around. "Where's Brains?"
"Inside." He played a clip.
"He isn't going to transform is he? Please tell me he knows that I know that Amanda can't know!"
"Stop being advanced… when you're obviously not." He said through the radio, playing two different movie clips.
"Jerk." I crossed my arms and waited for it…
"Oy!" I burst out laughing. That always made me either laugh of giggle.
"Come on, you're doing a great job of imitating a truck." I patted the dash. "When the pizza man leaves, join us for some pizza."
"'Cept, I don't eat." A kid's voice said from the radio.
"Oh… well, never mind then. Just come." I exited the truck and locked it with the key. It beeped again and I got back into Amanda and my room. I just heard Amanda screaming from the bedroom. I ran into the bedroom, only to see her looking at Ron, who was sitting on my bed.
"Amanda! What's wrong?" I came to her side.
"How long have you been here?" She asked Ron.
"Ever since you left." He flatly said.
"Look, um, Mel, can I talk with you? Alone?" She said, glancing to Ron. Ron got up and left the room so Amanda could talk with me. "Um, Mel, I don't know how to say this, but… here goes. I don't really… want Ron to be in our dorm."
I gaped at her. "What?"
"I mean… I'm not… comfortable, with him sleeping in our room. I'm just not."
I stood silent, processing what she just said. She doesn't want Ron in our dorm. Okay. No, not okay.
"What?"
"Didn't you hear me? I don't want him sleeping in our dorm." She repeated.
"Oh." Was the only thing I could muster. "I'll uh, go tell him." I said, flabbergasted. I searched for him in the living room, where I found him a second later. "Ron?" he turned to me. "Amanda… she just doesn't want you sleeping in the bedroom anymore. She doesn't want you sleeping in the dorm at all." I explained it to him.
"Why is that?" his brows shot up.
"She said she wasn't comfortable, but I just think it's the fact she doesn't have a boyfriend."
"Humans are confusing." He commented after a while.
"Shut up." I crossed my arms as he crooked a smile at the end of his lips. The doorbell went off. "Good to see you didn't kill the pizza delivery guy. Amanda!" I yelled for her. She got out of the bedroom with the money and opened the door.
She handed me the large pizza box and paid for it and the delivery guy left. I opened the box as the beautiful smell of dough coupled with a slight smoke, escaped the box. "Watch it, it's still hot." I said as Amanda reached for a slice of pizza.
"If you don't mind, I invited Lana and Clara to come." She shrugged.
"Sure." I said. Not a moment later, did the doorbell ring and Amanda jumped to it. She opened it as the two girls entered and they all hugged. They were so kind to even hug me, but just glance at Ron and smile at him. Amanda took the pizza box, presumably wanting to put it on the coffee table as Lana and Clara sat on the couch, while Ron and I sat on the loveseat.
"What's up girls?" I started to conversation, while Amanda put the box on the coffee table, as predicted.
"Oh not much." Lana said, but Clara nudged her with her elbow. "Ow, moron. Well, there's this one thing." she blushed.
"Just say it." Clara urged.
"Well, there's this boy… but I don't know if he likes me." She admitted. "He goes to my class, and he's a great guy, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to be embarrassed."
"Embarrassed of what?" I asked, taking a slice of pizza as all four of us girls did.
"He's my best friend." She blushed again. Oh, the shy girl. I pondered on what to tell her.
"Do you really really like him?"
"I do. But, it'd be weird if I told him that, I mean, it may kill out friendship." She took a bite from her pizza. "And I don't know if he likes me. I mean, Amanda's best friend Josh is his best friend, so we could ask him."
"Is that the boy you like?" I asked Amanda as she shyly nodded. "God, you all fall for your best friends. Okay, simple as that, you just get the info out of them."
"How?" Amanda and Lana said at the same time.
"Seduce them." Clara suddenly said.
"Wha-no!" Both Amanda and Lana yelled. "I'm not going to do that!"
"Or-" I got their attention. "Or you could just ask them if they like you." I felt stupid the moment I said this.
"Mel, honey, this is the 21st century. You'd get shot in the brain if you asked that." Clara sarcastically said.
"Or just ask Josh to ask…" I said.
"Adam."
"Ask Adam what does he think about Lana. That way, you get your answer and you'd get a chance to talk about-wait! I got a perfect plan!" I suddenly said as an idea popped right into my head. "Lana is going to ask Adam to ask Josh if he likes Amanda. Amanda is going to ask Josh to ask Adam if he likes Lana." I crossed my arms as I leaned back into the loveseat. "I'm awesome." I said as they giggled.
Hours passed, another pizza was ordered and eaten, and we were having so much fun. At one point, I didn't even notice Ron putting his arm around my shoulders. Lana and Clara noticed it and started asking us questions. Mostly me, but still.
I had to lie about how we met, what happened, where's he from etc. All in the day's work, I guess. And
Ron is an expert at following leads. He lied with me. I wanted to laugh from their faces because of the stuff he came up with.
I mean, seriously, how do you even put a truck on the roof a ten floor building? Just ask Ron, he's going to explain it.
"Girls I'm done for the day." I said as I got up and stretched. My bones cracked happily.
"Melissa, is it normal for bones to crack like that? Is it painful? Should I call Ratchet?"
"Easy Ron. No need to call Ratch. I'm gonna crash." I said as I sat back down on the couch. "I'm so tired I can't stand on my feet." God I was tired.
"We should go too." Lana said, checking her phone. "It's… shit, it's 02:30 in the morning. Well it's Saturday now. Let's go Clara. See you girls and Ron." She smiled at him and the two girls went out of our dorm. I yawned.
"Come, let's get you to bed." Ron said, getting up and offering me a hand.
"You're sleeping in the truck." Amanda boldly said. I gave her a glare as she got in our bedroom.
I couldn't even pick up his hand. "Come on, don't play with me at this Primus forsaken hour."
"I'm tired." I yawned. He picked me up bridal style as I didn't even bother to put my arms around his neck for balance. I hadn't the strength. I need more training. He'd been polite enough to knock at the closed door. After Amanda's approval he got in and put me in my bed.
I couldn't even change my clothes, how tired I was. He took the covers off and put me in bed and then put the covers back. He sat on my bed, tucking me in.
"I know you're just using me because you're lazy." He said, smiling as I quirked open an eye.
"Was I that obvious?" I replied, smiling as well.
"You were. Goodnight." He said as he ran his hand over my forehead and kissed it. You could hear Amanda's 'ew' sound, but we chuckled at it.
"Goodnight." I said, closing my eyes.
A year later… (AN: I know, time lapses, what can I do.)
Nothing has changed over this year. Nothing. I passed college, thank you God. Ron and I are a bit closer. And we had a new arrival. He comes by the name of Topspin and he's a silent one. He chose a plain BMW M3 Coupe as his alt mode and it was a dark blue in color with all sorts of stickers and advertisement things. Wasn't ugly at all, and I was actually surprised to see him looking so good with all those stickers on him.
He and Ironhide stood next to each other on the parking lot. It was like I had two guardians now. and Topspin looked so puny next to Ironhide, even being a BMW. Maybe I had three guardians if you count Brains…
Oh Brains, the pervy little Autobot. I used to fight with Ron because of him. He had a way of getting into my underwear drawer. Only mine. Ron would always tell me there was no way he was putting that glitch into his alt form.
So now, it's the summer break. I'm on the plane for the new base, on the secret island of Diego Garcia. I'm on the famous C-17 airplane, sitting on one of the benches inside it, Ironhide and Topspin in front of me in car forms and Brains in my lap, as I was using him for free and unlimited internet.
It's been around three hours since I was on this plane. Suddenly, the laptop on the lap started to transform, smoke all around it. I screamed as I threw the thing from my lap, instinctively.
"Hey, I'm smokin' ova here!" Brains said as he got up and reached with his arm at me. I picked his larger arm and sat him next to me.
"No touching." I batted a finger at Brains as Ironhide's engine aggressively growled.
"No touching, babe, got it." He gave me his cute little smile. I was kind of sorry for him, because he looked like Quasimodo to me. His big, bright blue eyes could be so cute. But make no mistake, he's a pervert through and through. Like that horny Wheelie Autobot at the Christmas party. Sheer horror.
We sat in silence, but I was intrigued to know about Topspin. We barely ever talked. He wasn't in the dorm once, Ron was constantly being shoved out of it because Amanda grew on Ron and was treating him like a big brother or a father figure. They bickered and talked freely.
"Topspin?" I said, trying to get his attention., the headlights turned on dimly, acknowledging he was awake. "Why are you so silent?" I asked, and the lights turned off. "Topspin?" No response. Did I say something wrong? I got up from the bench and got to Ironhide. "Why is he so silent?" I whispered to him.
"Very badly injured-no hope of recovery." The radio said quietly. Crap, I touched a sensitive subject.
I moved away from Ironhide and got to the dark blue BMW. "Topspin?" I put my hands on his sleek hood. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I really didn't." the lights turned on again and so did the engine. I think it was running all the time, it just stayed silent. "Do you forgive me?" I sweetly asked. I think he imitated a cat, because he leaned into the touch of my hands on his hood and the engine purred. "I take that as a yes?"
He just purred more. Ironhide flashed the big lights on him, blinding me a bit. Then he honked and flashed some more. "Jeez, Ironhide! Jealous much!" I drew my hands to my face, in order to prevent light from blinding me again. "Me is bliiiiiiiind!" I dramatically said as I threw myself on the floor.
There's this crazy thing I liked to do when Ironhide or Ron, anyway, got jealous, I'd play dead. Apparently I was really good, because Ron usually got to the edge of panicking. I didn't do it often, and haven't done it for a good 7 months.
As I landed on my back, a bit harshly for my taste, my arms went over my face as I very slowly breathed. I heard his holoform fizzing as it was brought to life.
"Melissa? Are you alright?" I heard footsteps coming to my side, and I heard the fabric of his clothes rustling as he crouched. Or I think he did. He touched my neck, where my pulse would be. It was slow. "I know you're alive. Mel?" I didn't respond. He picked my torso up and set it on his leg, so that my back was leaning on it. He took my hands in his. "Did I hurt you?" he asked kindly. I almost felt bad for worrying him. Almost.
"Ya killed ya charge, dude. Wait 'till Prime gets 'a load o' this." Brains teased.
Ron would have punched him, but he was too busy with me. "Mel, you can wake up now." nothing. "Melissa? Open your eyes." He kindly said. I still breathed incredibly slowly, slowing my pulse all the time. I might as well fall asleep here. "Mel? Come on, you're starting to worry me." He put his hand on my cheek. "Come on, kiddo." My brow twitched very, very slightly and I prayed to God that Ron didn't notice.
"Brains, come here." Ron commanded him. Where was he going with this? With Brains?
"Yeah, Ironhide?"
"Stay there and be quiet. Take cover if needed." Ron said. "Melissa, I will call Ratchet. Don't do this to me. Come on, just open your eyes." I refused to. Suddenly, I felt gentle fingers going up and down my stomach. It immediately stiffened. Ron chuckled. Great, my cover's blown.
He gave me a kiss on the lips, and I shot open my eyes, where I met his. He smiled in his kiss as he let go. I pursed my lips in an annoying matter. I saw Brains on my left side, just staring there at us. Out of the blue, I felt something, like a finger, touch my left boob. I screamed as I clung onto Ron, getting my arms around his neck and pulling my legs to my chest.
"Brains!" I screamed.
"Wha? Wasn't me!" he threw his tiny arms in front of him, as if in surrender.
"Wasn't him." Ron chuckled. It took me a moment to realize. I looked up to Ron with wide eyes. I jerked away from him.
"Oh my God! Ew Ron, you pervert! Holy shit!" I smacked his arms as I retracted back to my bench and crossed my chest.
"Oy. I didn't deserve that, did I?" he walked up to me as I pulled myself in a ball. He sat next to me as I scooted away. He scooted to me and I scooted away. It went on until I reached the end of the bench. I wanted to get up and go somewhere, but Ron pulled me into his chest.
"You did, you ass." I scoffed, looking to the side. "I'm not talking to you anymore. Being in Brains' company made you a perv like him." He hugged me, my back on his chest, but I didn't do anything. I was sitting on his leg, so I tried to get away from it. I punched him in the plexus with my elbow as an 'oof' escaped his mouth and I ran to Topspin and got in the BMW.
"Ha! Can't catch me!" I stuck my tongue out at him as the window was down. Ron got to the door, but didn't open it. He stood silent, giving Topspin a glare. I guess he was comm. linking him or something. He told me about those things. Suddenly the door opened. Topspin opened it. Ron must've threatened him or something.
I sprinted from the car to Brains. I picked him up and cradled him to my chest.
"Oh, this is nice." He said.
"I'm going to cheat on you with Brains." I freely said. Ron raised an eyebrow.
"Leave the glitch alone." He tiredly said.
"I'm gonna kissss himmm…" I said, squeezing him.
"Oh, not nice." He said as he was smothered.
"Melissa… I will-"
"Passengers prepare for landing." The pilot said through the radio.
"Okay, I won't kiss him. But I won't forgive you either." I said, getting into his alt form. He got in behind me.
"Why?"
"Because you're a pervert." I looked out his window, even though the wall of the plane just greeted me.
"You know I'd never push you into anything." He said, taking my hand in his.
"I know, Ron, I know…" I got to him and snuggled in his chest with my face. "I know you wouldn't…" I listened to something humming inside his chest, not beating. "Where's your heart?" I suddenly asked.
"I don't have one. I have a spark. It's the equivalent, only it hums instead of beating."
"Oh, that's so cool." I said, lowering my head into his chest again. "But it's… so calm, so soothing…" I absently said.
"It's because I'm with you. That's why you hear it like that." he chuckled as I tucked my head under his chin. I felt the plane descend greatly, causing that bubble in my stomach to rise to my plexus.
"Ooh." I exclaimed as I held him tighter. "And I'm sorry." I suddenly said, imagining him raising his eyebrows.
"For what?"
"For worrying you. For punching you."
"It's only right. It not only showed my hard work and lessons paying off, but it showed my behavior was inappropriate. I apologize as well." He said, tightening his arms around me as the plane landed. A couple of seconds later, the plane stopped and the door slid down. Ironhide turned on the engine as both him and Topspin rolled out. Ironhide drove us into one of the hangars, and the place was so unfamiliar to me.
Surrounded by the ocean, the island was big, but it wasn't one of those tropical islands just waiting for someone to buy or book them. No, this Diego Garcia island was more of a desert with concrete. It had some woods out there, they were faint and in the distance, but they were there.
There were more hangars and Ironhide drove us inside the first one. Or third one. I couldn't remember, it all looked so same to me. Eventually, I saw the rest of the Autobots inside, I saw them as robots, walking freely across the base.
Ironhide stopped and opened the door. Ron got out and offered a hand to me.
"Madam." He chivalrously said.
"Oh, why thank you, kind sir." I giggled like an idiot. He kissed my hand as I got out of the truck. "Ron." I smiled. He let go as I saw Epps staring at us. "Epps!" I squealed and ran into his hug.
"Hey, kid. What's up? What's between you an' Hide?"
"Tell you later, or eventually, you'll see." I said, letting go. "Where's my Uncle?" I asked.
"He'll be here with Sarah and Belle in a couple of hours, so make yourself at home. I know I have." He chuckled. I heard and saw Ironhide transforming as I went to greet the rest of the Autobots.
That's a lot to write! What's going to happen next? I don't know! My laptop is being lazy and slow and a retard and won't let me write this like a normal human being would. Maybe he's Laserbeak in disguise.. or Brains. Though my laptop doesn't smoke XD
I don't really get why Laserbeak imitated a pink 'Con version of Bumblebee in DOTM at 35:45 or something. Nor, why he's a TV or computer mouse. Is he like a pretender or what?
Dilemmas, dilemmas…
