Chapter 2

Later that evening Sam came by my house. He wanted to go to a party and insisted that I come along. I went along just to get out of the house. His friend Miles was in the front seat and I climbed into the back. The party was lame, and the kid I kicked earlier that day was there with a girl. "Hey Pipsqueak," he said.

"Move along kid, I'm jail bait," I said walking away. I headed back to the car and sat on the hood. I started talking to myself, "I would have thought he would leave me alone after I knocked him on his ass. I hate jocks." I felt the car vibrate underneath me. "You too?" I asked. I felt the car vibrate under me again. "I'll take that as a yes," I said as Sam came running back to the car. He threw Miles out as I got in the back seat.

"What about her?" Miles asked.

"She might feel safer if another girl is in the car," Sam said. He then tried to get Mikaela in the car. "Hey I hope I didn't get you stranded, okay you sure? I was wondering if I could ride you home, I mean give you a ride home?" She still ignored him.

I poked my head out the window, "he's not as creepy as he sounds, just weird." Sam glared at me but Mikaela got in the car. The awkward conversations continued. At some point the car engine started to fail and Sam had to pull off the road. Mikaela got out telling him to pop the hood and she said something was loose but I wasn't paying attention. My seat was vibrating in a way that would make me think the car was laughing. I decided to try something, "Please help this poor bustard. We won't hear the end of it if she walks away now." After I said it the car started. "Thank you," I said. At that moment I thought I was crazy, I was talking to a car.

Sam ran by my house late at night screaming that his car had been stolen. I ran after it not bothering with my bike. I soon out striped Sam who was riding on his mother's bike. I got up to the car, "Hey wait up!" I called. He drove through the fence into a junk yard and I kept running but was soon distracted by the guard dogs. I quickly lost them. I found myself a hiding place and watched as the car shifted and stood up. Sam suddenly appeared next to me and pulled out his phone. I grabbed his hand, "Don't," I said.

"But," Sam interjected.

"If the wrong person gets their hands on that it could be more than just you and me that will take the heat."

"But," Sam tried again.

"Don't," I said again with a serious note in my voice. Then the car came back at us. Sam started running and I stayed where I was. The door popped open. I got in and rolled down the window as the car went after Sam. "Sam!" I yelled. He turned to look at me. "Get in the car and stop running!" Suddenly a cop car pulled up and Sam was trying to explain to the cop what was going on and got arrested. I took his car and went back to his house. As I got out I spoke to the car again, "Try a low profile thing next time, and stay here." I went up to the door and knocked. Ron came to the door, still dressed.

"Allison why are you here so late?"

"Mr. Witwicky, I'm afraid I have some not so great news," I said.

"What?"

"Your son has been arrested," I said.

"What did he do?" he asked.

"He trespassed in private property but in all fairness he was chasing his car because someone took it."

"It's here now," Mr. Witwicky said.

"Yeah, I got it back."

The next afternoon I saw Sam run by my house and I followed again. "Sam! Wait!" I called after him. He tripped and fell off the bike. "You all right?" I asked and when he nodded I ran after his car again. I caught up to it, "Hey wait!" I called for him. Sam then appeared and a cop car nearly ran us over. Sam started yelling at him as he kept threatening to run us over. "That's no cop!" I yelled pulling Sam to his feet as we tried to run, but we were suddenly thrown against another car.

"Are you LadiesMan217?" this metal giant asked that moments ago had been a cop car. After repeating the question a few times Sam responded with a yes. "Where is item 21153? Where are the glasses?" he yelled. Sam and I were still trying to figure what how to answer when his car knocked the monster over.

I pulled Sam to his feet, "Run!" I said as we headed out of the under pass and Mikaela was coming at us. Sam tried to get her to turn around and when she didn't he pulled her off her bike.

"What is wrong with you?" she asked. Suddenly Sam's car pulled up. I dove straight in.

"You got to get in the car, get in the car," Sam said. We sped off with Mikaela yelling that we were all going to die. "He's a kick ass diver!" Sam shouted back, then he saw we were heading straight for a wall of glass, "We're going to die!" he yelled joining Mikaela in her screaming.

"We are not going to die!" I nearly shouted back at them exasperated. If whatever this car was wanted to hurt us he had already had a million chances. Soon enough we came into an alley where the car tried to hide and locked us in. Sam and Mikaela were freaking out. Sam reached for the key and I grabbed his hand, "Don't," I said looking up the hill at the cop car. "Whatever this car really is, we need to trust him. He knows what he's doing."

"How do you know that?" Mikaela asked.

"From the moment I saw him, I could tell he was more than just a car," I replied. Suddenly the car sped behind the cop car causing a chase to ensue. We ended up in the power grid thing for the city. We were thrown out of the car as the car stood up to face the other robot. I pulled my friends to their feet and away so we wouldn't get hurt. Not long after Sam was attacked by a mini robot which I pulled off him and wrestled with it as Mikaela ran off somewhere. I struggled with the tiny alien and suddenly Mikaela came out of nowhere with a saw and hacked off its head.

"You're not so tough without a head are you?" Sam asked kicking it off into the distance. I passed his pants to him that the little pain in the ass had pulled off. Then I saw Sam's car coming up over the hill and I ran towards him.

"You all right?" I asked.

"Yep," he replied using the radio and it sounded like he used a piece from some rap.

"Can you talk?" Sam asked apparently not paying attention to earlier. He replied using clips about an SMX radio satellite. "You talk through the radio?"

"Thank you, you're wonderful, you're wonderful," he replied clapping.

"Are you an alien or something?" Mikaela asked after Sam asked about the other night and the robot replied something about the captain of the star fleet and raining down like visitors from heaven. He answered Mikaela with a hand gesture and transformed into a car again.

"Any more questions you wanna ask?" he asked opening the car door.

"What's your name?" I asked heading for the car and sliding into the driver's seat.

"Bumble Bee," he replied while Sam and Mikaela were working up the courage to get in the car. On the way out we stopped to get Mikaela's bag. We then drove out to the country side to see what looked like comets hurdling towards us. After most of them hit Bee took us to an alleyway and we waited there. Soon a big black truck, an emergency vehicle, a silver car, and a Peterbilt with red flames pulled up surrounding us. They all started to stand.

The semi that was blue with red flames was the first to speak and he was the tallest. "Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendant of Archibald Witwicky?"

"They know your name," Mikaela whispered.

"Yeah," Sam said.

"My name is Optimus Prime. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron."

I extended my hand, "Hello Optimus, my name is Allison," I greeted.

He took it quite gently, "Hello Allison, are you not afraid?" I shook my head.

"You can call us auto bots for short," one of them said.

"This looks like a cool place to kick it," another one of them said jumping up and landing on the car behind him. He had started off by asking, "What's crackin' lil bithces?"

"Just so you know, people don't like to be called bitches," I said looking over my shoulder at him.

"My first lieutenant, designation Jazz," Optimus said. There was then some talk about where Jazz learned to talk like that. "My weapons specialist Ironhide," Optimus said as Ironhide whipped out his canons.

"You feelin' lucky punks?" he asked.

I pushed the canon he was pointing at me away, "Just so you know that is not a good idea, you'll get yourself hurt or shot at."

"Easy Ironhide," Optimus said.

"I just wanted to show 'em my canons," he replied. He then looked at me, "most your size wouldn't think of doing that."

"Yeah well I've had guns in my face before, not very scary when you don't intend to use them," I replied turning back to Optimus.

"Your own kind has hurt you?" Optimus asked.

"Humans hurt their own kind all the time Optimus, that's way I moved away from my parents," I said going over to Bee and he lifted me on his shoulder, "Thanks Bee," I said.

"How do you know his name?"

"I asked," I replied.

Optimus turned his attention to the emergency vehicle, "My medical officer Ratchet."

"The boy's pheromone levels suggest he wants to mate with one of the females." I saw Sam and Mikaela blush.

"You already met your guardian Bumble Bee," Optimus continued. Bumble Bee started to dance and play some rap from his radio.

"You're my guardian?' Sam asked. Moments later we learned of Megatron and that Sam's great grandfather's glasses were the key to saving the planet.
