A/N Yay, only six more days until AoE comes out. Until, then for you who haven't seen this video, check out our favorite Autobot leader as a goalkeeper: youtube: eOOSObb9n1E. The fanfic does not allow me to put in all the code so you will have to google it.
And as usual, thanks for the reviews/ alerts/ favorites. Dont forget to review :)
When the policeman left, I immediately called my mother.
"Hello?" she said, over the phone.
"Hi mom; it's me," I said.
"Sandy sweetheart, how are you?"she asked.
"I'm good. How are you and dad?"
"We are both fine, " she said.
"I'm glad to hear that; listen mom, the reason I called you is because I want something to ask you."
"Yes?"
"The police officer came here looking for you."
"Oh, why?"
"He said that you have some speeding tickets that are not paid."
"Don't be ridiculous Sandy," she said, in a serious tone. "You know very well that I always drive carefully."
"I know," I said. "That's why I find it strange, and I wanted to call you to ask you."
"Maybe, he got a wrong house."
"No mom, he specifically asked for you."
"Oh," was all she said.
A few seconds a dead and ominous silence prevailed and I know something was wrong, terribly wrong.
"Mom…."
"Sandy listen and listen good. If the policeman comes again, don't let him inside the house."
"Why?" I asked confused.
I could feel the fear and panic in her voice.
"Just listen to me, do not let him inside the house. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Your father and I will try to come home as soon as possible," she said.
"Okay."
"I have to go now. Be careful, "she said. "Love you."
"I love you too," I said, hanging up.
What is going on here I wondered. My mom never sounded so scared like now.
A knock from the front door startled me.
Maybe the policeman came back, I thought to myself. I carefully crawl over to the window and peeked through I looked on the porch to see if someone's there. But the porch was empty. I slowly stood up and make a couple of steps back; I could feel my heart beating faster and faster. All of a sudden, I felt two strong arms wrapping around my waist tightly pulling me backwards.
"Agh! Agh! Aaaaaaaahhaaaahh! Let me go" I screamed, trying to free myself from the person grasp.
"Hey, hey, Sandra, it's me" a deep male voice said, turning me around to face him.
"Are you out of your mind Ironhide," I yelled, punching him in the chest. "You scared the hell out of me!"
"I'm sorry, I wanted to surprise you."
"Well, you succeeded in it," I said trying to calm myself. "How did you manage to get inside the house?" I asked. "The doors are locked."
"Holoform" he simply said. "Are you mad at me?" he asked, wrapping his arms around my waist, kissing me.
"No, just don't do that again," I said.
"Is something happened?" he asked.
"You could say that" I said, as I walked to the couch and sat down.
"Tell me everything," he said, as he sat next to me.
I began to tell him everything. When I finished Ironhide looked at me.
"I think it's time to teach you self defense," he said. "We will start tomorrow; meet me at the military training area at ten o'clock."
0000
The next day I showed up at the military training area where Ironhide was already waiting for me. I was wearing sweatpants, spaghetti strap top and sneakers.
"Ready for tutoring?" he asked.
"I don't know," I said somehow uncertainly. "I'm not sure this is a good idea."
"You have to learn to defend yourself," he said. "Now, show me what you got; attack me" he ordered, backing away from me.
"You can't be serious," I said. "I don't know how to fight."
"Very serious; now attack me."
I darted towards him trying to hit him.
Not even flinching, Ironhide grabbed my arm and flipped me over his shoulder and I hit the ground.
"Is that all you've got?" he asked putting his hands on his hips, trying not to laugh.
"I told you, I don't know how to fight" I said as I stood up.
"And you weren't kidding when you said that; where is your instinct for survival?"
"On the place my kidneys used to be," I said, rubbing the sore spot.
"Get serious; I'm trying to teach you here."
"I'm sorry."
"Alright, now pay attention," he began. "I will try to hit you," he said, making a movement with his hand, as if he's going to hit me in the face. I immediately covered my face with my hands.
"What are you doing?" he asked, confused.
"Protecting my face."
"And as you do that your head, neck, chest, legs, and arms are exposed. Your opponent could kill you with his little finger. On Cybertron, you'd be dead in five nanoclicks."
"You don't have to be a jerk Ironhide," I said.
"Let's try it again; shall we?" he said. "When I try to hit you, you move aside and try to grab my arm; alright, let's go."
I tried again to attack him, but I failed, and once again I was on the ground.
"Come on Sandra, make an effort."
"I'm trying but, you're much stronger than I am," I said.
"Whining will not help you defend yourself" Ironhide said sharply.
"I'm not whining; I'm telling you the fact."
"No, you're whining."
"If you continue to provoke me, I swear to God I will kick you in the thigh."
"I would like to see you try."
And I try, but he grabbed my foot and pulled; I fell on the ground again.
"You are incorrigible," Ironhide said. "Back on Cybertron I trained some Autobots who were bad at this but you... you really take the cake."
"That's it!" I yelled, as I stood up. "I quit!" I said, turning and starting to walk away.
"Where are you going? Get your aft over here!" Ironhide shouted.
"My ass and I are going home!" I shouted back, as I continued to walk.
"Smooth, real smooth Ironhide" a voice said behind him.
Ironhide turned and looked at the person who said that. It was Jazz.
"What?" Ironhide said. "What did I say?"
