Sorry that it's taken me so long to update….Though comparatively there are other stories out there that make you wait much longer. I was away from internet and computers for a week, so I typed nothing. I was still working on the story while I was gone though. You see, I hand write every chapter on notebook paper first, then type and edit later. I have up to Chapter 10(which is throwing me for a loop) and just got to get the time and stamina to do it all. So, yeah…. That is my apology/excuse thing. Also I got an google drive app that was supposed to allow me to type anywhere in my house at any time but it crashes more often then a two year old coming down from a sugar high.

I have a favor to ask off those who read through this chapter and bother with Author's notes. Tell me something Hack and Raf can do together as friends. If I think the idea is good Ill use it in my so called magic chapter. Ill give your ideas credit thing to you. I just need a wee bit of help. Ideas are hard to come by and super expensive. So thanks!

A special thanks to thegirlwhothinksultronsheadshouldbemoreantlike. Your help with ideas is awesome. A super special thanks to theladywhoissuperepicatandiskindenoughtoeditmystory, with out her everything in this story would no longer exist. Sorry about long Authors notes. I know I don't like reading these all that much myself.

Raf swings his legs back and forth as he sits on the park bench. HIs mother watches from another bench a couple of of yards down the path. Close enough to watch her son, but far enough to let him speak privately. Staring quietly down at his model car, Raf curls his fingers tighter around it. He breathed deeply, trying to calm his frazzled nerves. Raf closes his eyes, smelling the fresh air around him.

The sound of someone tapping his car causes him to jerk his eyes open. A teenage boy stands right in front of him. His charcoal black hair is gently tousled by the soft wind, the dark purple tips swishing back and forth. A pair of dark blue glasses cover his eyes . Despite the warmth of the day, this boy is wearing a black leather jacket on top of a darker black long sleeved area of the sleeve right at the end has three bands of purple that is the same shade of the tips of his hair. A sliver bandolier with purple pockets sewn into it stretches across his chest. All in all he looks to be about fifthteen. The teenager leans back from his bent position of tapping the car.

"I'm Hack. "

-Soundwave, Decepticon-

When Soundwave had entered the park, he really had no idea what Raf would look like. It had taken him a while to notice the small boy holding a yellow model car sitting on a bench. A mere sparkling had created some of the most fascinating challenges that had been seen in centuries? HIs indigo optics, er well eyes, had widened from behind his darkly tinted sunglasses. He watched then small being for a minute, memorizing all the details about him. The small creatures had its eyes closed , concealing their color. The red rectangular glasses stand out brightly in contrast to his skin color.

Curiosity struck Soundwave as he looked at the small boys caramel and ginger brown hair. It defied gravity, leaning upwards and backwards and ending in a point. From all of the boys body movements, Soundwave could tell he was very nervous. Quietly, he walked over to him and tapped the car in his hands lightly. The boy had looked up in shock and he had introduced himself.

Now Soundwave stands silently, watching the other boy with interest as to how he would react.

"Err…Hi. I'm Raf."

The boy lifts up a hand and runs it through his brown hair, obviously trying to calm himself down.

"So you're really him?"

Soundwave nods once, hoping the boy will soon get over his shock. Just as he is thinking of ways to make this less awkward, Raf seems to settle his nerves and gains better control of his voice.

"Its nice to meet you finally. Would you like to sit?"

"You are only asking me to sit becuase you're shorter than me."

Raf laughs, grinning at the older boy.

"Yeah. I guess so. So sit?"

-Raf,Human-

Hack sits down, a small smile flitting across his face. Both look at each other in silence for a second before Raf starts laughing again at the awkwardness of the situation. Hack tilts his head, causing his bangs in the front to swish one way.

"So what do you want to do Raf?"

"Err. I have no idea. What do you want to do?"

"I brought these two DS's and some weird war game. I have never played it before. Want to try it out Raf?"

"Yes!"

Hack reaches up to the bandolier on his chest, pulling from one of the purple pockets two DS's. One is light yellow and the other is dark purple. Grinning widely, Raf gladly accepts the yellow DS, noting the strange face symbol on the back.

"The game is Advanced Wars."

"I've heard of it. Let's play Hack. Im going to beat you."

"No way Raf."

Both start up their games, choosing characters and sides that will take part in the coming battle. They played each other, taking cities and factories. The AI's in the the game never stood a chance as they were demolished quickly. Forty minutes of continuous game play later, Hack wins the game.

-Soundwave, Decepticon-

Soundwave looks at Raf, letting a small smile onto his human face. He watches as the other boy returns his smile. Both had fought viciously against the other. The two players both had cramps throughout their hands, making it painful to continue holding onto the devices. Raf places his down on the bench, shaking the cramps from his hands. The Decepticon symbol on back of his yellow DS glints in the sunlight.

"Want to try again? You'll probably lose though, Raf."

"Bring it on Hack. I'll beat you at this game."

"Uh-huh yeah, sure."

"You doubt me!"

"Yes."

"Now we have to play another round."

Soundwave feels a shred of joy from the friendly argument, readying his device for another round of battle. Raf picks his device, grinning enthusiastically, and their off again. Happily, Soundwave picks apart Rafs strategy, telling him what parts did or did not work. In return Raf listened and advised Soundwave in his battle. Soundwave is glad that his advice does not land on ignorant ears and the ignored. Over the course of their multiple games, both becoming better in their strategy and game play. Rafs mom walks over several hours later, tapping the two boys on the shoulder. Both jump in surprise. Mentally, Soundwave berates himself for losing focus of the outside world.

"Hey. I'm Rafs mother. Nice to meet you."

Soundwave stands and shakes her outstretched hand,

"The names Simon Waver, ma'm. It's nice to meet you. "

She smiles at him, gently letting go of his hand. Raf remains sitting, watching the exchange quietly.

"You should head home Simon. We wouldn't want to worry your parents."

"They don't really care how long I'm out. "

-Raf,Human-

Raf stands up, looking straight into his mother's eyes. Breathing deeply, he forms his question in his head. Without a second more of hesitation, he speaks his request.

"Can Hack, er, Simon stay for tonight? Tomorrow's the start of Spring Break, meaning I don't have school. Please?"

"I dont know about that miel. He may still have school tomorrow. Plus he may not want to stay overnight on such short notice. "

" I'm homeschooled. If it is alright with you, Ma'm, I would rather stay here with Raf then go home."

Raf smiles at his friend, happy that his friend wants to continue hanging out with him. Hack grins back, then looks to Raf's mother for the final say.

"Oh fina. Okay. But call your parents first, sí?"

Hack nods once and walks off, pulling out a cellphone. Raf begins thanking his mother as she smile happily at him. Her sons friend seems nice enough to her. Hack walks back over, smiling slightly.

"It seems that I am able to stay the night."

"Hurray!"

Raf jumps up and down, then he start pulling on Hacks and, Directing him to his moms car. Excitedly, he begins chatting about what they could do at his house. Hack listens quietly while letting himself be dragged, gripping Raf's hand a little tighter.
