Deca-cycle – 3 weeks.
Cybertronian talk
Couple of days later…..
The first five days I spent at Monica's place, but on Optimus insistence and because of the high risk that Decepticons could find me, I had to move to the Autobot base. I was not thrilled at all, especially because I was the only female at the base (that is if you don't count the female Autobots) that was full of horny soldiers. Luckily, one small part of the base was rearranged for me and none of the soldiers had access; except in the case of emergency. Monica and Amy also got guardians to watch over them; Monica got Sideswipe as her guardian and Amy got Dino.
I still did not know who or what destroyed my house, but Optimus suspected that it was Scorponok, a Decepticon who is.. well, a giant mechanical scorpion. Optimus told me that Scorponok can't transform into robot form, but is able to dive under sand or concrete. Which to some extent explains why was only my house destroyed, but no other. As for Ironhide well, I just could not figure him out. He was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. On some days he was nice and even friendly toward me, but on other days he was dark and angry for no reason. So eventually I gave up.
One day while the soldiers and the Autobots were at the shooting range I decided to take a little walk around the base; it was not long when I heard loud footsteps coming my way; I raised my head and saw two Autobots. One was green and had an oversized right arm; he also had two buck teeth; one golden, the other normal. The other was orange and had an oversized left arm. They looked like twins; they were talking on Cybertronian. I guess they didn't see me standing there, because I had to move aside to avoid getting stepped on.
"HEY WATCH IT!" I yelled, so that they could hear me.
"Yo watch it Mudflap, you almost squished her," the green one said in Cybertronian, as he smacked the orange one in the back of the head.
"Yo it ain't my fault, she's in front of my feet," the orange one said, crossing his arms looking down at me.
The green Autobot kneeled in front of me and said: "You will have to excuse my twin brother, he's an idiot; my name is Skids and the ugly one here is Madflup."
"HEY!" Madflup said, offended looking at his twin brother.
"Sandra Jones," I said.
"You must be new here, because we haven't seen you here before," Skids said.
I nodded.
"So do you have guardian yet, cuz' if you don't, I can be" Mudflap said, winking at me.
"Why would she want to have an ugly piece of aft like you as her guardian, when she can have a hunk like me for a guardian?" Skids said to his brother.
"Yeah right, if you are such a hunk then why the femmes run miles away when they see you?"
"Nu-uh."
"Uh-huh."
"Nu-uh."
"Uh-huh."
"Nu-uh."
"Uh-huh."
"Nu-uh."
"Uh-huh."
I looked at them with disbelief. They were acting like kids, no scratch that they were worse than kids. Even though I did not understand what they were saying I could tell that they were arguing who will be my guardian.
"Will you two stop it," I said. "I already have a guardian and it's Ironhide".
They stopped fighting and turned towards me.
"Ironhide?!" they both said at the same time.
"Yes."
"So you're the femme who kicked Ironhide's old aft?" Skids said, laughing.
"Man Ironhide always gets all the babes," Mudflap said, shaking his head.
"That's because he's prettier than you," Skids said, to his brother.
"Oh no you didn't," Mudflap said, waving his finger in front of Skid's face.
"Oh yes I did."
"Come here ugly!" Mudflap shouted, throwing himself at Skid's and knocking him to the ground punching him in the face.
Oh, no, not again I thought to myself. They began to wrestle not caring who or what was on their way. Suddenly a large hand wrapped around my body and picked me up.
"ARGH!" I screamed, in panic as my feet left the ground.
"Easy there Lil' lady I won't hurt you," a smooth voice said, as he put me down a few meters away from the twins. I raised my head and saw medium build silver Autobot standing in front of me; his eyes were hidden by a visor.
"Now, if you excuse me for a nanoclick Lil' lady," he said, as he walked toward Skids and Mudfalp. He picked them up in each hand, and slammed them together before throwing them outside the base.
"Now, where were we?" he said, approaching me. "Oh yes, my name is Jazz," he said.
"Sandra Jones."
"Nice to meet you Sandra," Jazz said. "Where is your guardian?" he asked, "The Autobot base can be a dangerous place when you are new."
"How do you know if I have a guardian?"
"Every human in the base has one; so who's yours?"
"Ironhide."
"Ironhide?!" he repeated, after me.
"Yes."
"That old aft?!"
"Yes."
Jazz began to laugh. "Wait, you're the human who "defeated" Ironhide" he said, laughing. "I'm impressed."
"Does everyone here know about it?" I said, quietly more to myself than him.
"Yes, well rumors spread fast here ya know," Jazz said. "Now come on let's find Ironhide", he said, as he again picked me up; putting me on his shoulder. "You will be safe here; hold tight" he said as he started to walk.
We went outside and headed down to the shooting range; soon we saw Ironhide doing target practice and he was good, real good.
"He is good," I said.
"Yeah, he is," Jazz said. "Stay here," he said and put me on the ground. "I'm going over to talk to him," he said as he walked away.
"Yo, Ironhide!" Jazz called him. Ironhide turned and looked at him.
"What is it?" he asked, as he approached Jazz.
"You should take better care of your charge."
"What's she done now?" he asked, with a sigh.
"Nothing, but Skids and Mudflap almost squished her."
"Pity," he said.
"Oh come on, you don't really mean that," Jazz said.
"Maybe I do."
"Is really that bad being her guardian?"
"I'm already guardian to Lennox family. I don't need another charge."
"Ya know what I think? I think you're afraid of change."
"I'm not afraid of anything."
"If you say so."
Ironhide took a deep breath before he spoke. "I'm going on a mission with Prime, and I will be gone for deca-cycle. Can you watch over her until I get back?"
"Sure," Jazz said. "You can count on me."
