All Disclaimers are located on the 1st chapter.

Sorry for not updating in a while. This is due to Writer's block, personal problems, stress, and of course work which have been preventing me from writing any new chapters. Also where I am staying the internet is not so good, so it makes things even more difficult to update. Anyways I hope you like the new chapter and hope to post more chapters soon.

Please Read, Review and I really hope you are enjoying the story so far.

Seth was completely silent as he took in the sights of Jasper Nevada while he listened quietly to Jack, Miko and Raf as they would point places out to him. He made mental notes where places were located to visit latter. Having a photographic memory came in handy at times. He hated to say it but Jasper reminded him a lot of his home town where he had been living with his father in New York even though it had been more towards the country side than being inside the actually large city itself, that was before he was sent to live with his mother in Miami Florida where his life basically went to hell.

"So Seth, being from a different dimension. I bet you had a lot of different activities than we have here, am I right?" Miko asked causing Seth to be pulled from his thoughts.

"Not really...our dimensions are practically the same for the most part, Miko...it's just in my dimension cybertronians are public knowledge and everyone knows about them. It's just not a secret." Seth said softly.

"So everyone in your dimension knows about the Decepticons and the Autobots?" Jack asked him.

"Jack, some people know more than I do about them and their war. Hell some people even know their weight, height and even their armor thickness. I thought I explained all this earlier?" Seth said with a sigh.

"So do you or did you have a guardian back in your dimension? " Raf asked softly. "I mean if you do have a guardian I bet he or she must be worried about you." Seth was silent for a few minutes before he decided to answer his question.

"No...I might know things about the Autobots, Cybertron and about the Decepticons...but I've never actually meet a Cybertronian in person until I meet Ratchet." Seth said trying not to reveal too much about his dimension, even though he feared he had said too much.

"I take it that people are fans of the Autobots?" Miko asked.

"Yes and there are some who are also huge fans of the Decepticons as well." Seth said making Bumblebee slam on his breaks in disbelief as he gave a loud whine like sound. A sound that strongly sounded like someone shouting the word, 'what?!'

"Please tell me your joking." Jack said as bumblebee started driving once more.

"I'm being dead serious." Seth said.

"How can anyone like the Decepticons?! It makes no sense? They are the bad guys!" Miko shouted.

"Miko...it's hard to explain but not all Decepticons are bad...Some were just simply fooled by Megatron's promises for a better life or equality. It might have started out as a noble cause but in the end...it just turned into a struggle for power. Look i'm not trying to defend the cons, on what they are doing or what they have done. However people can easily be blinded by others without even realizing it and will follow that person even though it's wrong. Eventually they will have face the reality of their actions and be haunted by what they have done, as they try to make amends for their actions latter in life." Seth said softly.

"For a moment you almost sounded like Optimus." Miko said making Seth scoff at that.

"I'm nothing like Orion..." Seth grumbled under his breath as he looked out the driver side window as they reached the University Mall. They than carefully and slowly got out of Bee's vehicle form as they headed inside to do some shopping. The mall was large not as big as some of the malls Seth had visited or been to but it was a fairly nice size mall.

"Okay so where's the first place we go to?" Miko asked.

"I need food Miko." Seth said as his stomach grumbled making him look away in embarrassment.

"Oh right...Forgot you haven't really eaten anything in a while." Miko said. Seth only shook his head as they headed towards the food court. Seth looked at the different food options until he settled on what he wanted. Seth wasn't kidding when he said he was a very picky eater. He gave the lady his order and by the time he was done telling her his order. She looked ready to strangle him or flat out tell him to make his own damn meal after he was done giving her the order. Basically his order looked a little something like this.

A number four with no pickles, no mayo, extra cheese, extra lettuce, thinly sliced tomatoes on top with some jalapeno peppers, he didn't want his burger swimming in grease, raw or even burnt, one perfect fried egg on the top of it, with some fried onions, a little ketchup as well as mustard on a bun with no seeds and to not toast the bun. Lightly salted fries with a lot of black pepper on them and do not over cook the fries. A Cheery soda with a small hint of Vanilla flavoring added to it.

Miko, Raf and Jack simply stared at Seth like he grew a second head before they gave the lady their orders which she looked relieved that they were simple ones compared to Seth's. Once they got their food they found a place to sit down to eat their food. Seth was smiling as he ate his meal happily and was actually impressed and even more thrilled that someone actually got his order right on the first try.

Miko than suddenly snatched one of Seth's fries to give it a try, making Seth glare at her. "Not bad, I could get use to those." She said as she reached for another one with a smile.

"Miko, you have your own fries." Seth said in protest just seconds before Jack and Raf shared a look before they also snatched some of Seth's fries as well to give them a try as well.

"Those are pretty good." Jack said grinning.

"Get your own fries, Jack!" Seth snapped at him. Raf was smiling in amusement as he snatched a few extra fries when Seth was too busy glaring at both Jack and Miko.

"Same goes for you as well, Raf." Seth snarled when he caught him taking another fry. Jack, Miko and Raf only laughed in amusement as Seth gave them all a dark look as he quickly finished his meal. Once they were finished eating they decided it was time to walk around and do their shopping.

"Awesome they have a cotton candy stand!" She yelled as she ran over to the stand that had been set up inside the mall near the new candy shop as a form of advertisement to the new shop that would be opening soon. They had a large verity of different flavors of cotton candy for sale as well as many different types of sugary treats.

"Miko on a sugar rush...what a scary thought." Seth said as he flinched when Miko suddenly ran back over to him as she grabbed his arm as she began dragging him towards one of the clothing departments abit unwillingly since shopping was never one of his favorite things to do. Once inside Seth began buying what he needed. however Jack wouldn't even allow him to carry around his own shopping bags all because he was injured.

"It's just broken ribs Jack, my arms are fine!" Seth protested.

"Doesn't matter, Ratchet would skin us alive if you injure yourself further. We're not taking the chance. He's already upset as it is with us." Jack said firmly.

"Relax and have some fun, Seth. Just let Jack carry the stuff." Miko laughed as gave jack her bags before he could reject them.

"Miko, You can carry your own bags! I'm just carrying Seth's because he's hurt!" Jack yelled after her but was only ignored.

"Fun?" Seth asked softly under his breath as he stared after the hyper girl as she ran over to the girl's clothing section of the department. Fun was the one thing Seth didn't really understand. When his father died any type of joy or happiness just completely left him.

"I don't think we should have allowed Miko, to have that much sugar let alone buy that much sugary treats." Jack said as he watched how hyper Miko was becoming as she munched down her candy as she was running around to look at things.

"Ya think maybe, Jack?" Seth asked him with a dull expression on his face.

"Maybe?" Jack answered back nervously before he gave Seth a serious look. "Seth, I don't mean to pry into your past...but what did you use to do with your friends or do for fun back in your dimension?" Seth said nothing as he stared at Jack with a cold emotionless stare. Jack's eyes widen when he realized something that Seth had no intention of revealing to anyone.

Seeing Jack's expression Seth instantly harden his eyes as he glared at him. "Say one word to anyone Jack, and I promise no one will ever find your corpse." Seth stated coldly as he realized Jack had figured some things out about him, while silently scolding himself at the same time for dropping his guard.

"Seth...are you serious about-"

"Just drop the subject, Jack! I have my reasons as to why I don't...allow myself to form emotional attachments to anyone or anything. Also I have trust issues because of my past...so please just drop the issue." Seth snapped before he turned his attention back to Miko only to see where she was going. "Oh hell no! No way! Not happening!" Seth yelled as he quickly walked over to Miko as he gently but quickly lead her away from the pet shop window before she got the idea to go inside.

Jack simply watched in silence as he briefly wondered what kind of life Seth had lived that caused him to become like this. Than again maybe it was for the best if they tried to get Seth to let go of his past and at least try to trust others again. Seth would tell them eventually what happened in his past and they would wait. He just hoped they could help Seth open up more around them.

"Oh come on, Seth." Miko begged as Seth lead her away from the pet shop.

"I would like to live long enough to get back home to my own dimension Miko...I do not need the Old man, murdering me for getting a pet and allowing it to run around loose in the base. I'm also pretty sure that Orion wouldn't be too happy with me either." Seth stated coldly.

"Awe...but the puppy was so cute! Come on, not even Ratchet could say no to how cute it is! Also whose Orion?" She asked him.

"It's not happening, Miko." He said sighing not feeling like explaining Optimus' past to them.

"But-"

"Want me to go find a Tarantula and set it loose on you on purpose?" Seth asked her in a deadly serious tone. Insteantly Miko paled at those words.

"No." Miko said.

"Good, than drop the subject...we are not getting a pet." Seth said firmly as he stared at her.

"Hey Seth, come check this out." Raf said making Seth walk away from Miko as he headed over towards Raf who was pointing to a laptop computer. "Since your laptop is malfunctioning maybe a new one would help you out."

"Raf, I'm not that good around technology and this looks more complicated than what i'm use to dealing with." Seth said frowning.

"It's okay...I can teach you about computers, and it's actually not that hard to learn." Raf said.

"I'm not sure...Raf." Seth said nervously as he pictured the number of ways this could go badly.

"It will be fine." Raf said calmly.

"You should go for it Seth...I mean your old one was acting up right?" Jack asked him.

"Yes but-"

"Than just get a new one. Besides Fowler is the one paying for all this stuff." Miko added.

"Okay fine, but i want the black one...let me guess you're not going to even let me carry it." Seth added as he looked at Jack who only smiled at him.

"You got it." Jack said. Seth sighed only to blink as Miko suddenly handed him a thing of cotton candy. It was a bright crimson red color with a creamy white color swirled in it. For a moment it almost resembled a peppermint of some kind. Cotton candy was never one of Seth's favorite sugary treats.

"Come on try it...it's Cherry and Vanilla flavored." Miko said. Seth sighed as took a piece of the fluffy spun sugar as he plopped a piece into his mouth allowing it to melt away in his mouth. To his surprise it wasn't horrible like the cotton candy he often tried back in his own dimension.

"Not bad...but Miko how much of this stuff have you eaten already?" He asked her.

"Do you really want to know?" She asked grinning.

"Forget I ever asked." Seth said looking away from her as they did some more shopping. Seth silently continuing to eat the cotton candy Miko had given him as they walked. Seth than paused when he noticed a large paint shop that were selling all kinds of paints, and they appeared to be having a special deal going on on paint that was only meant only for vehicles. Buy two and get three cans of paint for free.

Seth slowly revealed a wide demonic looking Cheshire cat like grin on his face. One that would put Megatron to shame at how evil it looked. Before he quietly slipped into the Paint shop causing Miko, Raf and Jack to follow him in confusion.

"Revenge will be sweet." Seth whispered under his breath as his scary Cheshire cat grin widen, which caused a few employees to whimper in fear at how someone so young could look so demonic. Seth slowly walked towards the counter where a employee who mixed paint was located at.

"C-can i help you today?" A man asked nervously as he stared at Seth who looked up at him slowly with a smile that would give anyone nightmares about as a evil gleam in Seth's eyes seemed to give him a demonic appearence.

"As of a matter of fact you can." Seth answered in a evil tone making the employee of the paint shop to gulp in fear while Jack, Miko and Raf only stared in confusion at Seth's behavior.

Meanwhile at the Autobot base Ratchet was seething in rage as well as irritation. His charge had pulled a fast one and never in his life had he ever had patient pull such a stunt on him. The only four beings who had ever came close to such a stunt were, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Optimus before he became a Prime.

"I'll kill him myself, if he ever pulls another stunt like this." Ratchet growls bitterly under his breath as he paced around his medbay.

"Ratchet, he's fine. Jack, Miko, Raf and Bumblebee can look after him until they return." Arcee said softly as she pulled Ratchet from his thoughts.

"That's not the slagging point, Arcee! He needs to be resting! We have no idea how that energon in his blood stream is effecting his body!" Ratchet snaps at her.

"That kid is going to be handful isn't he prime?" Agent fowler asked Optimus quietly.

"He's a long way from home Agent Fowler, he might just be using anger to hide his true emotions and the fact he does not fully trust us yet. However I do not believe he will be that much of a problem." Optimus said softly.

"Right...just give me a call if the kid gives you bots too much of a hard time or if he suddenly turns suicidal." Fowler said softly as he left the base. Fowler silently thought about fully going through Seth's medical records just in case it was reported that Seth was suicidal or something. However hearing Optimus' reassurance that Seth would not be a problem, he would let the subject slide for now at least.

"Ratchet, Seth knows his body better than we do...i mean if he was in any kind of pain he would tell us or at least someone right?" Bulkhead suddenly asked.

"That little gremlin clearly is not use to relying on others Bulkhead...I fear he would in all honesty rather suffer in silence, before ever letting someone help him. Meaning he would rather die first before ever seeking help from anyone." Ratchet grumbled bitterly.

"Seth, isn't that suicidal is he?" Bulkhead asked in concern as he looked at the others. Arcee had a uneasy exspression on her face as did Optimus.

"He fully planned on taking out thirteen cons by himself in order to protect me, while having no weapons, suffering from energon posioning, broken ribs, enternal bleeding, no protective shell that would prevent him from going squish, and having no reguards for his own life or his own safety, Bulkhead. So you tell me if he's not suicidal or not?!" Ratchet snarled at him.

Optims honestly feared that Ratchet was closer to the truth than anyone wanted to admite or think about. He silently reached for his comlink as he walked out of hearing distance. "Optimus Prime, to Bumblebee..."

Meanwhile inside the mall the kids were still shopping around when Seth felt a wave of dizziness that suddenly hit him which made him sit down quickly on a bench. "Are you okay Seth, you look rather pale?" Raf asked him in concern.

"I'm fine...just dizzy all of a sudden." Seth said softly as Jack was carrying all the bags that had the items that Seth had bought since Jack had refused to let him carry anything.

"Maybe you ate that cotton candy to fast?" Miko asked as carried her own bags.

"I don't think that's the case Miko...the energon in his bloodstream...it might be acting up. We should get him back to base." Jack said softly.

"I'm fine just dizzy." Seth said trying to wave off their concern.

"So what was with all the vehicle paint that you bought anyways, besides scarring the living daylights out of the employees that work there?" Miko asked him.

"That's for me to know and your just going to have to wait and see." Seth said softly before another wave of dizziness hit him.

"You're not okay...Seth. You're not fooling any of us." Jack said just as a young man suddenly walked over to them. He appeared to be in his twenty's with short messy dark blond hair and bright glowing blue eyes that could be seen. He was wearing a bright yellow jacket with black sleeves over a white shirt, black jeans and black shoes. Serth looked at the teen and noticed a small Autobot insignia like pendant hanging around his neck.

"Hello Bumblebee." Seth said startling Jack, Miko and Raf. The adult looked a bit surprised but than just smiled a friendly smile as he nooded as he made a move to help Seth up to his feet. Seth reluctantly allowed Bee to help him to his feet. Even though he had flinched at the contact.

"Bumblebee...but how!? I mean?" Jack asked him in disbelief.

"Jack...It's a solid holoform...it lets them blend in better if needed. They rarely have to use it but they all have this ability or at least should have it." Seth said softly as he let Bee help steady him on his feet when he began swaying. Bee looked deeply concerned and worried about Seth's well being. He looked at Raf for an explanation.

"He just became dizzy all of a sudden...and he's turning paler than normal as well." Raf said in concern. Bee only looked at Seth in concern as Seth sighed softly.

"I'm fine...just dizzy. It will go away soon" He stated again only to have the whole room suddenly spin on him making him close his eyes for a few minutes. "Than again maybe not..." He whispered as he opened his eyes.

"Hey Darby!" Vince yelled. Bee groaned silently when he saw the school bully suddenly approaching the kids. This was not what he needed right now. Seth looked ready to be sick or worst drop dead on him at any second. Miko appeared to be more hyper than ever since she was eating candy. Jack looked torn at what to do to help Seth and worried about Vince who was approaching them. Than there was his charge who was just worried and deeply concerned about Seth's well being.

"Vince, now is not a good time." Jack said.

"Don't care Darby...Where's the money that you owe me." Vince snarled at him.

"I don't owe you anything Vince. Now get lost." Jack said firmly.

"Not without that money you owe me Darby." Vince growled as he took a step foreward in a threatening mannor.

"Bee...can you do a low subsonic disturbance to smash Vince's windows of his car and set the alarm off or something to cause a distraction of some kind?" Seth whispered loud enough for only Bumblebee could him. Bee revealed a evil gleam in his electric blue eyes as he smirked before he did just that. Almost instantly the sound of cars going off, and the sound of shattering glass caught everyone's attention throughout the entire mall. Mall security officers raced outside to see what was happening outside.

"Shit my car!" Vince yelled as he ran off towards the parking lot along with other people in the mall who went to check on their vehicles since all the car alarms that were going off were practically deafening.

"I said a low subsonic disturbance...not get everyone in the mall all riled up...Bee." Seth said softly as his words seemed to slur slightly just as his vision swam in and out of focus making Bee catch him before he fully collapsed to the ground.

"Seth!" Jack, Miko and Raf said in concern. Bee's holoform than carefully lifted Seth's body up into his arms as he carried the teen with a deeply concerned expression on his face. He carried Seth with Jack, Miko and Raf following right behind him as they hurried to Bee's vehicle form. A lot of cars were still going off, owners of the vehicles looked pissed about the shattered glass windows and windshields as the tried shutting off their car alarms.

Only Bee's vehicle form remained undamaged. Bee carefully set Seth in the passenger seat, Raf, jack and Miko got into the back and Bee's holoform got into the driver seat. Bee drove out of the mall parking lot as he raced back to base.

"I'm calling Ratchet, something's not right with Seth." Jack said as he pulled out his cell phone when Seth lost consciousness. Bee only drove faster in case the internal bleeding that Seth had suffered from earlier had reopened or something. He than quickly requested for a ground bridge. A ground bridge almost immediately opened up for bee as he drove through it to get to the base faster. Ratchet transformed to his vehicle form and revealed his holoform as it ran towards bumblebee's vehicle form. Ratchet's holoform was that of a man in his forty's with long silvery white hair. Icy blue eyes, he wore a white doctor's jacket over a red shirt, black pants and black shoes.

"What in the name of Primus happened to the Gremlin!?" Ratchet demanded as Optimus's holoform rushed over to help Ratchet. Optimus's holoform was a man in his thirty's, with short black hair that appeared almost blue in appearance, His blue eyes showed deep concern. He was wearing a red jacket over a black shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.

"Seth, claimed he was becoming dizzy so he sat down and things just grew worst from there." Jack said as Ratchet's holoform began checking his vitals.

"He's going to be okay right?" Miko asked.

"This is why he should have stayed in bed." Ratchet bitterly grumbled as he began checking Seth's vitals. He didn't dare move Seth from Bee's vehicle form until he was sure his charge was in a stable enough condition to be moved.

"Ratchet?" Optimus asked in concern at how silent Ratchet was.

"That little suicidal imp...he over did it." Ratchet growled in annoyance. "However to answer your question Miko, yes he'll be okay...for now." Ratchet grumbled bitterly as he moved away from his charge so Optimus could move Seth to medbay.

Optimus very carefully lifted Seth up and out of bee's vehicle form. Optimus sighed softly in relief the teen was okay. He than carried Seth back to medbay to lay him back down onto the hospital bed that was located there carefully before leaving medbay once more to go on patrol.

"That's a relief." Raf said softly as everyone agreed. Bee's holoform than began taking the shopping bags out of his vehicle form. Bee's holoform raised a slender eyebrow at the sight of the paint cans in confusion before his eyes widen as he remembered Seth's threat about repainting Ratchet. Bee's holoform smiled widely as his body shook with silent laughter at what was about to happen sooner or latter.

Arcce stared at Bee's holoform as he shook with silent laughter, before her optics noticed the paint cans as they widen in disbelief. "Please tell those aren't-"

"Paints designed for vehicles only? Yeah, Seth wanted them for some reason and they were on sale. sort of scarred people half to death with his expressions." Jack said only for Arcee to let out a sigh as she shook her head.

"That kid has a death wish." Arcee said as a very small smile appeared on her face.

"Which one of you allowed Miko to have sugar!?" Bulkhead suddenly yelped when he noticed how hyper Miko was all of a sudden and she was still munching down on her stash of sweets.

"Seth, did it." Jack and Raf said at the same time. Bulkhead only groaned at those words.

"Seth did not, you two. He just wouldn't allow me to get him a pet." Miko grumbled.

"Absolutely not!" Ratchet yelled when he heard the word pet.

"You have the same expression as Seth did, when he saw where I was going." Miko pouted.

"At least the gremlin and I agree on something." Ratchet grumbled as his holoform walked towards medbay to be with his charge besides planning on scolding the brat once he regained consciousness.

To Be Continued...
