A/N seeing how 'grill' was a 'story so far' episode, this is pretty short for what i usually produce...but i made it a comical one to make up for it ;)

Grill a Quick Cameo

It was the late afternoon, temperatures were high and we were on standby for fowler as dad put it, man i hate situations like this they drag it out forever, sometimes you have to come for another meeting, paper work to fill out, patronising comments, it normally takes a few weeks to sort out, and its normally a situation of trust. Naturally the government are wary of the autobots, due to their size and what they're capable of, and normally when something's different and we don't understand it, we fear it and detest it, that's just how human nature is.

"So we're here to prove to the general that you're alive?" i asked.

"yes." He put it bluntly as he stood there arms crossed and not moving an inch.

"Can't you just go up to the window and say, 'hey how ya doin?'" i said.

"I'm sure agent fowler has more than just the error of my demise to explain." Dad said.

I looked at my phone, "he's been in there for fifteen minutes, it's like he's explaining everything that's happened so far or something. and why have you got your battle mask on, we're not in combat?" I moaned as i leaned against the building, "well at least i got to see those files for silas, you know his real name is Leland bishop? I think I'll stick to silas, i'm not going home and telling my friends that i faced Leland in mortal combat, now if his name was shao khan that would be badass." I said pointing fingered guns in various directions.

"Did the documents mention anything about his previous occupation or his origins?" dad asked.

"well we already know he was in the military, but he was part of the special tactics. He became part of a project called project Damocles, shortly after he had grown 'bored' of our current order. The project was to create a network of satellites to orbit around the world; with this they could pinpoint any location on earth with lasers. Well i'm glad they pulled the plug on that... literally death from above." I said.

"And they were unable to recover a body." Dad said as he went into thinking mode.

"I'm very surprised he didn't die i mean you're no light weight, you know what i'm saying?" i jested nudging dad in the foot as he raised an eyebrow at me. "What? That energon isn't going to burn itself you know."

Dad shook his head, "hey do you think he's talking about me up there?" i said looking upwards.

Interview room

"And Ellen? With the demise of Optimus prime she will have to be placed into custody." General Bryce said.

"Sir, please he isn't dead." Fowler replied.

"Well lets speak hypothetical, now she has been with the autobots for eleven years now, has she been beneficial to these chosen civilians you have enrolled?" general Bryce said.

"w-ell she has been encouraging them." Fowler said scratching his head.

Outside

"Yeah remember when those three first came into base i was such a role model for them" i said boastingly, but jokingly.

(Flashback to base with Miko and Ellen with water balloons, "see the trick is to get it in-between there armour, that's where the sensitive parts are." Ellen said as miko nodded in awe.)

Interview room

"What you've told me of Optimus prime so far i'm guessing Ellen has a certain level of discipline by now? And is good with taking orders?" General Bryce said.

"o-oh yes, top ranked she is." Fowler said laughing nervously.

Outside

"See i do everything you tell me to do, i am an exceptional daughter." i said raising my head high.

Optimus rolled his optics.

(Flashback to Ellen lying on the couch at base with a milkshake, "Ellen, your room needs re-organising, can you do that now please." Optimus said.

"No." Ellen said lazily.)

Interview room

"And what of her communication skills?" General Bryce said.

"Very good, in fact you may even say we can't get her to shut up." Fowler laughed awkwardly.

Outside

"I don't think i'm that much of a talker just enough to get by, i'm even a little shy you might say." I said.

(Another flashback,

"Arcee! Drink!" Ellen said dangling her empty can above her head.

"look Vince, i was wrong about hitting you but you got to realise your faults too, i mean just the other day i was watching the news and some guy was in jail for about eight years because of his constant blows to society and i thought, well that's a shame for someone to turn out like that you wonder if it was his heritage or the environment that made him that way, you don't know but i then thought what if Vince turned out like that..."

At this point Vince was trying to back away slowly towards the exit, but Ellen just stepped forward.

"Hold on there Vince we seem to have a big gap between us, odd. But anyway I've took it upon myself to get to know you better maybe find that origin that makes you such a jerk and i don't mean offense when i say that, but that's what the term for it is."

Ellen went on for hours.

"Red, white and blue that's a joke son! A flag waver, your built too low, the fast ones go over your head, you got a hole in your glove, i keep pitching them and you keep missing them, you gotta keep your eye on the ball...eye...ball, eyeball, al-most had a gag son, joke that is." Ellen said trying out her foghorn leghorn impression on the principle.

She got detention for being a chatter box.)

Interview room

"Any additional traits you'd like to add bill?" General Bryce said.

"Well like the other civilians her courage is to admired." Fowler said.

Outside

"I don't want to brag or nothing, but I've got nerves of steel." I said.

(flashback to Ellen fleeing from a spider, "i'm not scared of them i just don't know them personally so i can't really pass judgement, but answer me this why is it they say there more afraid of you then you are of them? They are constantly in your face, i wouldn't jump on Megatrons face that's just...oh my god! It's on the remote control!")

"Yep, nerves of steel." I said as i posed very cool like.

"Prime! I need an assist." Fowler's voice rang through dad's comm link.

Dad took a few steps to the window of the room fowler was occupying and stuck his face at the window as i followed closely by his feet.

"Agent fowler, have you uncovered mech agents?" he asked him.

I couldn't hear anything fowler was saying but dad was glancing too another part of the room.

"I am fine general Bryce, how are you?" he then said.

"Arhhh, you didn't say 'how you doin?' oh well close enough." I said by his feet as i shrugged.

Dad then stood there staring into the room, what is going on up there? I started jumping up and down to try and magically propel myself up to their level.

Dad then backed off from the window as he then transformed, i took the sign and got in, "so? We cool?" i asked.

"General Bryce has enough evidence to provide a case that i am still online." He said.

"Is he nice?" i asked.

"I do not know the man, but by first impression, yes he does seem 'nice'." Dad said.

A/N short but sweet :) now i need to summerise some ideas for the next episode, i may be a while ?_?
