Thanks for the reviews, we've reached that amazing 100! Woot!
"Uh, Melissa? What exactly are we doing?"
"Weren't you paying attention when I was explaining it to them? Hide and Seek, Nicole. That's what we're playing. Unless you don't want to?" I whispered as we got out of the hangars and ran to the forest, somewhere out there in the distance.
"Sure I do! Make Bee pay for what he did last month." She smirked.
"What did he do?" I asked as we started to walk. We couldn't run and walk at the same time without losing our breath and starting to sweat.
"I'll tell you later. Really pissed me off though." She said. I had a feeling she would tell me anyway. "Who's in the game?"
"Bee, Jazz, Skids, Mudflap and Sideswipe." I answered as we got into the forest, starting to go deeper in it.
"The femme bots aren't? And what about Prime, Ratch and the rest?"
"Nope. Ratchet has to do something with Ironhide, about his cannons I think, Prime has meetings, and the femmes are showing Topspin around, while Brains is being pervy with Wheelie."
"Tell me about it. I hate Wheelie. Well, not really hate him, but he likes to hump my leg, which is disgusting. Yeah, and he calls me 'Warrior Goddess'."
"Oh, that's nothing. Brains used to go into my underwear drawer."
"Ew, that really is worse." She cringed. Then she stopped moving. "I think we're far deep, aren't we?"
"Nah, let's go a bit more." I smirked as we continued to walk our way into deep hell into the forest. "Say, you have a phone?"
"Nope."
Great. If we got lost, nobody was going to find us. Oh well, we are on an island. How hard could it be to find two girls?
An hour later…
"They're never going to find us, trust me." Nicole said.
"I trust you, but that's nonsense you're talking about now. Of course they're going to find us."
"Mel, it's night time. We're in a forest. On a secret island. What if they upped sticks and left? Left us here alone? Who knows what kind of wildlife crawls around here."
"Don't worry. Someone will find us. We should have gone home at dusk." I said, looking around. "Come on, let's get on this tree. I hate bugs on the ground." I said as I climbed a short tree and brought Nicole to sit up next to me. I yawned. "Not only is this boring, but it's tiring."
"I know." She yawned with me. "The 'Bots are so dead after this." She leaned on me as she closed her eyes. "Can I rest my eyes? Wake me up if someone comes to the rescue." She said as she snuggled in.
"Sure thing." I smiled as I looked around. The forest was so peaceful and quiet. It wasn't a dense forest, where you couldn't walk because of the tree roots intertwining on the ground, or couldn't see the sky above you because the green leaves were too thick. No, the forest wasn't dense at all. The dark blue sky, wasn't really starry, but there was the first quarter of the Moon, lightly lighting the path in the forest.
Who knows how much time had passed, but I leaned on a tree branch and rested my eyes. When you're not using one of your senses, the others become more sensitive. Like, my hearing for example. Nicole was lost in the sleep and I leaned her on a huge tree branch, that was flat and wide, which I found strange, but Nicole was tired and sleepy, so it would do her good.
Just as I decided to shift, I heard rustling down below me. My heart quickened as I got up to look what was down. Even that quarter of a moon was providing enough light and my eyes have also adjusted on the dark, so I could fairly see what was going on down there. More rustling came closer to the tree as I leaned over, tying my hands to the nearby branches.
The tall manly figure stopped and looked around. I could see its blue eyes. As I went to lean over a bit more, to get closer to him, the branch cracked and my hands slipped as I found myself screaming on my way down to the ground. The eyes shot up at me as I immediately recognized them.
I 'oof'ed as I fell into the person's arms, bridal-style. I looked up at him.
"The frag are you doing up there?" Ron gave me his look. "Where is Nicole? Bumblebee is throwing quite a fit out there." He motioned his head in the direction of the base.
"She's up in that tree, though I think she's awake now. I think my scream woke her up."
"Melissa! You okay?" she came down as Ron let me go. "Good, you're fine. Where's Bumblebee?" she asked Ron.
"He's in the second hangar and we better get going if we don't want him to break it down. He already destroyed two military vehicles. We've never seen him like this." Ron said as she came down and we began our way out of the forest. Nic and I were so deep in it we couldn't go back. Otherwise we would have been in one of the hangars. A couple of long minutes later we got out of the forest and walked towards the base.
When we got there, you could clearly hear yelling and the screeching sound of metal on metal, from inside a hangar. "Bee!" Nicole yelled for him as she ran up to one of the hangars. As soon as she said that, dead silence struck the whole base. Thundering footsteps came out in the form of a yellow robot running to Nicole. He scooped her up and held her to the crook of his neck, between his chin and chest.
I smiled at the two, as I were now near them. All of the Autobots came out of the hangar. "Bee, it's okay. I'm fine." He just nuzzled his oversized head with hers. She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Come on big bot."
"I thought I lost you." A radio clip emitted from his speaker. His holoform appeared in his hand as Nicole hugged him.
"Oh Bee… We were just playing a game…" she whispered to him as they left the scene and the rest of the Autobots turned away. Ironhide came to me and put his hand down on the ground as he crouched. I got into the black hand as he brought me up to his chest level.
"Your Uncle told me about your wish." He started to walk to the many hangars.
"Wish?"
"Of a place named Greece? Wasn't your wish to go there?" he gave me a risen metallic eyebrow. I nodded.
"It is. With Nicole. What else did he tell you?"
"General Morshower has agreed to the idea and we have arranged a C-17 airplane for transport in a day." he flatly said. He flatly said so many things.
"So am I going back to college to pick up my stuff?" I looked up at him as he looked down on me.
"Afraid not. You'll be buying your own 'stuff' with Nicole in Greece."
"Can't wait to go. Is Bee coming, too?
"Mhm." He nodded.
"Oh, we're gonna have a blast." I rubbed my palms against each other.
A day later…
"Up you get." Ron's voice shook me from my dreams. I was sleeping in my Uncle's bed on the base as he got a new one to sleep in. So we joined the beds, because I like to spread myself all over the bed when I'm sleeping, so it had been a restless night for Uncle.
I was kicking in my sleep like I always do, talked nonsense like I always do and well sleep, just like I always do.
"Five more minutes." I turned my back on him as I noticed that Uncle wasn't in the bed anymore. Must've been well over 8 a.m. now.
"No. Get up." he sat on my bed.
"No."
"Melissa. You need to-" I cut him off as he gently put a hand on my hip.
"No." I groaned into the pillow. "Go away."
"I'm not going anywhere. You have three seconds to get up or I'll pick you up." he tapped my hip with his one finger.
"If you touch me I'll scream."
"You will get up. One." He started counting as he tapped my hip once.
"I swear to God, I will scream."
"I swear to Primus, you will get up. Two." He tapped again. I moved to the end of the bed, away from him. "Two and a half." He got on the bed.
"Go away." I dug my head into the pillow.
"Three." He swooped me up and in a matter of a mere second, I was in his arms, bridal-style. I crossed my arms and huffed, looking to the side. "Come on, I'm not carrying you."
"Yes, you are. Carry me."
"And if your Uncle sees?"
"He's going to find out anyway."
"No, he won't." He put me to the ground. "Come on, hurry."
I followed him to the C-17 airplane. Ron and I entered it as he vanished into air. Nicole was sitting in Bumblebee as I was supposed to sit in Ironhide.
"Passengers, prepare for takeoff." The radio said as Ironhide slipped the belt around me. Soon, the propellers turned in a loud noise and I waited for the plane to take off. The plain gained speed and lifted off, soon gaining altitude as we were on our private jet to Greece.
I took the seatbelt off as I got out, and Nicole did the same. She and I sat on the same bench I sat when I was holding Brains, since all C-17 were the same I guess, we started talking about Greece. I knew next to nothing about it, so I gave her the benefit of explaining the streets, monuments, foods and all that stuff to me. We were supposed to meet Ron and Judy on the airport tomorrow. Even though we were in a C-17, they'd let us land on their airport.
I think the American and Greece governments are in good terms. But who am I to know that.
In Greece…
"Isn't this great! Nicole and Sammy have a new friend!" Judy squealed like Mrs. Piggy at the sight of me. I haven't met her before, but after I introduced myself and all, I think she really started to like me. Ron Witwicky, so I guess I should call him Mr. Witwicky, was busy with getting the aliens out of the airplane lanes. Took him some time, really.
Eventually, we got Ironhide and Bumblebee out of the planes and onto the busy streets of Greece. I was with Nicole, Judy and Bumblebee, while Sam and Mr. Witwicky were with Ironhide. Bumblebee led the way, as he was here once before. No wonder Mr. Witwicky knew how to get the cars out of the planes so fast.
"Oh, isn't this exciting?" Judy gasped, taking loads of pictures.
Nicole and I were in the back as Bee was out personal driver. "I thought your mom wasn't a tourist?" I whispered to her, though I was well aware Bumblebee could hear everything and anything in his alt mode.
"She isn't, but she has her… moments. She likes to take pictures I guess. I'll never understand that woman." She shook her head as she looked out the small, triangular window. "Bee? Can you drop off me and Mel at the mall?"
"What about me?" Judy asked, turning to her. She had one of those white caps that don't cover your head from the sun, just cover your forehead. Weird. I never like those. And she had these strange glasses and a black camera in her hands. She looked like a tourist all the way.
"I don't know, drink coffee with Dad." She shrugged. Bee turned on a street as he exited and moved the seat so that we could get out. "See you Bee. Be here in two hours, 'kay?" She gave him a quick peck on the lips and left for the mall.
"Bye Bee." I said as he smiled at me. He drove off somewhere with Judy, leaving me and Nicole alone in Greece.
"Come, I know all the best shops." She took my wrist and dragged me through the pile of people and into the mall.
XxXxXxXxX
I felt like everything was just going on like on a video fast forwarded with clown music in the background. Really. Up and down, left and right, here and there… Jesus, I think I died.
Shopping always got the best of me, and I really found it funny how both Nicole and I had had the same 'Theodore Galloway' credit cards. They looked like they were copies.
"You know who Theodore Galloway is?" I asked her as we entered another shop, the 23rd for the day.
"Yeah, he's this uh, government liaison or something, and he doesn't like the 'Bots, so Epps and someone else pulled a prank on him and copied his credit card. Couldn't have done it without Sunny and Sides though. They're the pranking masters." She found a shirt. "Like this?"
"It's cool." I casually said. "Hey, you think we'll be going to parties in our second year in college?"
"Duh. I've been boring myself to death in the first year. Sam was being a nerd that he is and never left his dorm. I hanged outside all the time. Mostly with Bee, because the other girls were just, let's face it. Horny whores. For real. They just jump at my Bee." She picked up a buttoned white shirt. "This one?"
"That one." I said. She took two of those, since she and I wore the same petite size. She walked along trying to find other pieces of clothing.
"There was like this 'Con pretender Alice, she was like a total bitch. She just jumped right into Bee's alt mode. But then Bee kicked her out."
"You know as well as I do, Bee's as loyal as they get. Don't worry 'bout him. He can take care of himself if any girl comes at him." I laughed. She picked out jeans and we went for the dressing room. The 56th time. I seriously couldn't take this anymore.
We got out and I was just about to tell her that I was done for the day, but she came out of the closet with sky blue high heels. "High heels?" I asked her.
"I know you like them too, don't lie."
"Gimme." I said as she slipped them off and I slipped them on. We were like twins. Same size in clothes, and in footwear, which was great. I walked around in them. "Gotta have these." I said.
She picked the golden credit card copy from her purse, "Share?"
"Share." I nodded. We changed our clothes again and ended up buying at least 10 bags of clothes each. She, and I, I'm not gonna lie to you, are going to make this 'Theodore' go bankrupt. Seriously, does he even get the bill?
It was a miracle Bee came in the precise moment that Nic and I exited the mall.
You see, being an alien robot that can change into a car has many advantages. Like, when you want attention for you girlfriend, you open the door for her Lamborghini style, because you can. You take her bags and put her in you automatic opening trunk. You take her friend's bags and put them in your trunk, which you can enrage if you want.
So after Nic and I got settled in the car, Bee turned on slow music, and even though it was summer, the nights were chilly. So he turned on the heating for us as well. Nic and I were I the backseat again, leaning against each other. We were done for today. Letting Bee drive us home, we slept in his alt form, perfectly content.
Days later…
"Wakie wakie, eggs and baky!" Judy cooked throughout the rented house.
"…Not again." I groaned into my pillow. She was saying this for the past two weeks. First of all, I can't believe I endured this long, second, I can't believe anyone else endured her this long! The woman was a challenge, let me tell you that.
And somehow, she always managed to fine the 'bake sale'. No kidding. She'd go running around the house all the time.
"Hey! It's my sweet's day, I can eat whatever I want!" She popped another reefer candy in her mouth stubbornly, as Sam tried to take it away from her.
"I thought sweet's day was yesterday?" I asked Nicole as I got up from the bed. We even shared the same bed, because Nicole was sure as hell she wasn't going to sleep in the same bed as her brother and leave me stranded on a separate one. Especially with the chilly nights.
"Who knows. She's high most of the time, I don't even think she knows." She yawned and got up. I did the same as I saw that Sam wasn't in the room. "Wanna go and swim?" She asked me.
"Of course. Let's get dressed."
"Bikini?"
"Duh." I said sarcastically. We very soon got dressed, taking our sunglasses, sun lotion and towels with us. The day was hot and sunny.
Nicole checked with her parents who already said they were going to catch up with us, and they said Bee and Sam were already at the beach. She and I only looked at each other and shrugged, going out to the beach as well. We passed Ironhide on our way here, and I told him he could join us any time, just as long as he dressed into swimwear.
So we walked to the beach, in our shorts and light T-shirts. It was really beautiful, and there was a small, relaxing breeze, perfect for this time of day.
So we got near the sea shore and lay our towels down. We got our clothes off and looked at each other's bikinis. He grinned at each other, but then heard some 'woo's and saw a crowd of girls standing near the shore. She and I shared a quizzical look and approached the sea shore.
Once we were there, we pushed our way through the girls only to find Bumblebee and his six pack abs, splashing Sam's weak six pack. It was there, but it was faint. You could see it on Bee perfectly. He looked nice.
Which made me wonder how'd Ron look?
Not a moment too soon, did Judy and Mr. Witwicky approach. "Hey kiddo. Like the beach?" he asked me.
"It's awesome. We're gonna go into the sea, there are our towels." I showed him as he nodded. He was in flip-flops, a light buttoned shirt, Bahamas shorts and a hat and sunglasses. Judy was looking somewhat the same. They went off to our towels. The girls formed a half circle around the blonde and brunet men.
Nic and I got in the sea and it was cold. Well, sea is always cold. And salty.
"Bee!" Nicole squeaked as the totally wet version of Bumblebee's holoform scooped her up from the sea. "Missed you too." She kissed him on the nose. I fist bumped with Sam as he waved at the girls, who were currently growling at Nicole. She didn't pay attention to them at all. She was with her Bee.
"Coming through." A rough voice said as the growly stopped. It was very soon replaced by sighs and whispering. Following more and more sighs. I looked to the source of the sound.
There stood Ron, in swimming shorts and a volley ball in his hand. He made his way through the horde of girls and into the sea. He got knee deep, where I was now as he threw the ball to Sam. I could see why they drooling over him.
Honestly, so was I. Bumblebee's six pack was –NOTHING, compared to Ron's. Seriously. Broad shoulders, big muscle arms, tight abs… Mmm, do die for, trust me.
"Hey you." I said as he approached me and scooped me up the way Bumblebee did Nicole. He brought me up from the water by putting his arms just below my butt and pulling me up. It was like carrying an oversized toddler if you ask me.
I kissed him on the lips, as the girls growled at me. Then they went away. Thank you God.
He broke the kiss, as an evil smirk crossed his lips. He looked to me and then to the sea. I was dry. His smirk grew wider.
"Ron… Don't you dare throw me in." I gave him a serious glare.
He shifted his arms and went a bit deeper. "No, Ron, please don't-AAAH!" I screamed as he mercilessly threw me in the water. I was in the water for a couple of seconds and then I came out on the surface with a huge inhale of air.
"You jerk! That's the third time this week!" I shivered as I rubbed my arms. He gave a hearty laugh. It was so good to see him laughing, I almost forgot I was mad at him. Heh heh. Almost.
I looked to Sam who looked like he was bored once again. He gave me the volley ball at my request. I threw it up and smacked it with my palm straight into Ron's chest. Not powerful, but it was a good shot.
"Oy!" He put a hand on his chest. I crossed my arms and gave him the eyebrow.
"Look who's talkin'." I mocked as I heard Bee and Nic laughing in the distance. He smirked. My eyes grew wider. He started to run towards me. "Noo! Don't drown me! Please!" I began to swim dolphin style, even though that's not really how I swam, and I didn't get away from him fast enough. He gripped my legs and pulled me down.
Lucky for him I knew how to keep my eyes open while underwater, so I stared at him. He grinned at me, the fool. I swam back up to the surface as he did as well. "Jerk." I said, swimming up to him as he was faced towards me. I went around him and put my arms around his neck, leaning on his back, commanding him to swim me back to the shore.
He swam me back to the shore as Nicole had her arms around Bumblebee's neck, he was carrying her bridal style to the beach. I wanted to be carried like that too.
Maybe alien robots are mind readers, because that would explain the so many times Ron read my mind, he just flipped my body around his in one move, my arms never leaving the back of his neck as he came out of the water and onto the beach. He lay me next to Nicole on the sand. Ron was to my right, also lying down, as Bee was to Nicole's left, in the same position.
The four of us were quiet, until someone broke the silence.
"Where's Sam?"
My back is sore, it's 02:26 in the morning, and I'm worn out and out of chapters. Really. *Goes into closet and tries to find muse. Looks under bed for dusty plot bunnies… Ah there they are! … maybe.* Let me know what you think in your review! :D
