Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. Here is the second chapter. It may be a bit short, but eventually I will start making chapters more longer.

Just a heads up, I changed a few things in the first chapter. Not a lot, just a bit of the conversation between the girls plus a little add in for the last part.

Anyway, lets get going to chapter 2. I hope you like it.

Transformers Animated: Different Angle

Chapter 2: What just happened?

"Why are we robots?!" Kylie cries once we stop screaming our heads off. "Why do we look like cartoons?! What is going on?!"

"I-I don't know!" I respond fearfully. I sit up on my knees as I look myself over, taking much notice of the red metal armor on me.

A robot?! How the heck did I become a cartoon robot?!

I feel so sick to my stomach, I start to shake. Wait, do I even still have a stomach?! Fuel chamber then?! Oh man, I can't breathe.

Wait a minute… I CAN'T BREATHE!

Frantically, I try to take breaths of air, only for a venting sound to come out of me. I start to panic more, making it hard for me to think. I feel myself getting dizzy from anxiety as I hold my head in my now metal hands.

"This isn't happening. This isn't happening," I mutter to myself. That's when I hear a noise coming from behind me. Panicking, I quickly twist my body around to look behind me, only to see nothing. As I do this, I hear something being knocked over beside me. I look back over to see an animated tree now on its side, broken in half. I look down at it confused when I hear the noise again, sounding like gears shifting. Again, I look behind me, only to hear something else get knocked over, this time on my other side. I look to see another tree down for the count.

What the heck?

I look over at Kylie to ask what is going on, only to see her looking at me wide eyed.

"What?" I ask uncomfortably. Soon as I ask this, I hear it again, only this time I notice something weird. It feels as if I have something …. on my back?

Nervously, I slowly turn just my head and look down over my shoulder.

I yelp when something pops up in my sight, making me fall forward. Kylie shrieks as she rolls out of the way before I can land on top of her. I land with a THUD, inches away from my friend. Wait, did I just make the ground tremble?

I brush the thought off as I sit back up, looking over my shoulder again.

I gape. On my back is a pair of what looks like grey jet wings. I watch as they perch themselves upwards, making the same gear shifting noise when they move.

"I-I have… w-wings?!" I stutter as I touch one, making it flinch. Feeling the touch on it makes me shudder in discomfort. I am so nerve wrecked I want to throw up…. If that's even possible for me right now!

Kylie begins to ramble. "Jacy, seriously, what is happening?! I'm really starting to freak out here! This has to be some kind of a dream! I mean, we can't really be robots, right?!" She puts her metal hands on her head, her eyes going wide with horror when she feels the two thick metal antennas sticking up from the sides of where her ears should be. She nervously coils her fingers around them, "Jacy, what's on my head?"

I look at her and truthfully say, "Antennas I think?"

She stays quiet for a moment... only to burst into tears. Can robots even cry?

"I don't want to be a robot!" she bawls. I almost forgot she's now cartoon because as soon as she starts crying, tiny waterfalls of tears are shooting out of her eyes in a hyperbolic anime style. Wait, how can she have tears if she's a robot? Is that coolant she's crying out?

I just sit and stare dumbfoundedly at the scene before me as she keeps sobbing. I finally snap out of it and crawl over towards my friend.

I put my hand on her back, taking notice of how big it is compared to her. "Kylie, its going to be okay," I assure her, trying to calm her down.

It takes her a while before she starts to relax a bit. "I'm sorry," she cries, toning down the tears. "I'm just scared."

"I know. Me too," I confess.

"Why is this happening to us?"

"I don't know. What's the last thing you remember?" I ask her.

She uses her hands to wipe her tears away. "I-I remember being in your basement watching Muppets and knocking over the chips and your drink. You went to go find a rag while I was cleaning up and that was when I found…."

Both of our eyes widen in realization. "The CRYSTALS!"

Immediately our eyes are on the ground, searching around vigorously on our hands and knees. But there is no sign of them.

"Maybe they're further away," Kylie suggests.

"Lets check," I say. Putting one foot underneath me, I slowly push myself up. I feel very wobbly as I stretch my arms out for balance, both my feet now firmly on the ground. Why does it feel like I grew twenty feet? It's not until I fully stand up straight that I get a better view of my surroundings. Sure enough, everything around us is animated.

All I can make out is that we are somewhere in a wooded area, a big lake not too far away from us. Only something doesn't seem right.

"Is it just me, or does everything seem..." I look over to where Kylie should be. Where did she go? It's not until I lower my glance to meet a pair of wide blue eyes looking back up at me. "Smaller?!" I blurt out the rest of the sentence in surprise.

She's probably around half my size now! I can only stare down at her in shock as she does the same staring up.

"And I thought I was short before," Kylie comments nervously as she sizes me up.

I look back at my surroundings, noticing how far up my vision is from the ground. I immediately get dizzy as I start to shake in place.

"Please don't fall on me!" Kylie begs.

I plant my feet deeper into the ground to try and keep my balance, though I am still shaking very badly. "I'm okay. Just not used to being so….."

"Huge?" Kylie comments.

"If I wasn't scared out of my wits I'd take offense to that," I say, hoping a chuckle will help. Once I get a good balance, I start to relax a little. I look back down at my friend. "Okay, you look over there, and I'll look over there." I say, pointing at the directions.

"Okay," she says as we both take a step forward….

"AH!"

Thud!

Only for us to fall flat on our faces.

Groaning, I lift my head up, spitting dirt and grass out of my mouth. I hear Kylie doing the same beside me.

"What happened?" she asks, "It's like I forgot how to walk."

I pick myself up off the ground. "We're just not used to these bodies. Lets try again."

We get back up, this time using the trees for support as we both walk a different direction.

I very carefully scan the area, afraid to put too much weight on the trees that are helping me keep my balance. I keep my eyes down on the ground, hoping to find anything glowing.

As I look, I try to wrap my head around everything that's been happening, the sick feeling still deep inside.

"What were those crystals?" I mumble to myself. There was something about them that seemed... familiar. Like I've seen them before somewhere. But where? I am filled with so much anxiety and questions that it's making me not think straight.

"Hey Jacy!"

Startled, I let out a shriek as I turn around to see Kylie. I nearly lose my balance as I frantically grab hold of the same tree she is using.

Snap!

The tree snaps from under both our weight, making us fall backwards. We scream as we start tumbling uncontrollably down a hill at full speed, nothing to slow us down. I feel myself getting sicker and dizzier as I continue screaming in the process. It's not long before I finally come to a stop, everything spinning around in front of me.

"I'm okay," I groan, shaking it off. I stand up, just in time for Kylie, still screaming, to summersault between my legs and straight into the massive lake.

SPLASH!

Surprised by what just transpired, I quickly make my way over to the lake's edge, just in time to see her head come out of the water. She stands up, the water up to her knees as she trudges through towards me, not looking very pleased.

"Well look on the bright side," I say to her as she approaches, a grin on my face, "You don't have to worry about your make-up running anymore."

Her only response is her spitting lake water at me, not looking amused as water trickles down her frame.

"Don't look at me like that," I say defensively, "You were the one that snuck up behind me."

She shakes her arms, spraying water everywhere. "I wasn't trying too. I was just going to tell you I couldn't find the crystals anywhere and ask if you did."

"Ah. Well to answer your question, no I didn't find them," I say, looking around.

I glance over a little off to the side and notice something. A little ways away is a city with big tall buildings, very close to the lake.

Kylie notices it too. "Hey, I wonder what city that is?"

Curious, I walk over to get a better look, only to trip and fall on my face... again.

"Seriously?" I grumble as I sit up, wiping the dirt off me.

Kylie lets out a chuckle. "And you say I'm the clumsy one."

I roll my eyes as I look up, seeing a sign not to far away. I pick myself up and walk over towards it, having to bend down to read it better. There on it in big bold letters reads LAKE ERIE.

Lake Erie? Now how the heck did we end up...

Lake Erie...?

...?

!

I look back at the city, studying it more carefully. My jaw drops.

No way….

"Lake Erie?" Kylie asks confused, reading the sign. "How did we end up at Lake Erie?"

I can't find the words to respond as I study the animation on her.

Its the same.

She looks back at me, a look of concern now on her face. "Are you okay?" she asks worryingly.

A lump forms in my throat, the sick feeling growing inside. If I could breathe, I'd be hyperventilating right now. I begin to shake as the pieces start connecting in my head. They were all there clear as day.

The animation design, us being giant robots, Lake Erie, the city, the crystals….

My eyes widen in realization. That's why they seemed familiar!

"Jacy?"

"I'm an idiot," is all I say.

"… what?" Kylie asks, now very confused.

"How could I have not figured this out sooner?" I mutter to myself, still in a lot of shock. "Is this really happening?"

"Jacy? You're really starting to freak me out right now," Kylie says nervously.

"This is unbelievable. I mean we were just talking about this and, and….. is this for real?"

"Jacy!"

I finally look at my friend, the lump in my throat remaining as I try to find the right words. "I-I think I know where we are."

She looks at me with wide eyes, "Where?" she asks anxiously,"Jacy, where are we?"

I try my best to swallow.

"We're in Transformers Animated."

And that was chapter 2. Thanks for reading and I hope to have chapter 3 up soon. Also I do plan to give a whole description on what the girls now look like, but that wont be until the next chapter. Also I am aware that the transformers in the show don't actually cry (except for Blacknarachnia, but then again she's a techno organic) but I do plan to have a little fun with that. Anyway, I hope you stay tuned for the next chapter and feel free to review and tell me what you think.
