Chapter 5-

When I was outside, I started walking in a circle, trying to clear my head. Why did I call Optimus "Dad?" I mean, he was my biological father, but still…dads are a touchy subject for me. I wish I knew how to get out of there. I actually thought that Optimus would be the huge robot-slash-car behind me, but I was actually nudged by Jazz's front end. I heard his horn honk and I turned around, almost shouting, "What do you want, Jazz? Huh? Can't you just leave me alone for a minute?? If I wanna get home, I'll tell you! Geez!"

Jazz rolled off backwards, his windshield cleaner be activated, which meant he was crying. I said, "Look, I'm sorry Jazz, but dads aren't my specialty. I mean, my 'dad' abused me, in anyway possible, when I was younger. I lived with Uncle Will from the time I was 6 to the time I was 14, because of him. My mom divorced him, when I was in high school." Jazz said, "Oh , I'm sorry…wait, you're seventeen, aren't you supposed to be in high school?" I said, "I skipped my sophomore and junior year, and took my senior year with my freshmen year of college. I graduated this year, skipping three years. I'm smart like that!"

I heard Jazz laugh, and his passenger door opened. He said, "Get in, I'll take you to the human hideout." I sighed a sigh of relief, "So there's a normal sized table and chairs and things here! Yes!" Jazz laughed and I got in. He drove off to the hideout, and I got out. I looked around; I saw a kitchen, a den/theater area, and three rooms with human sized doors. I did my little happy dance, and I heard someone say, "What the frag?" I turned around, towards Jazz, and saw two smaller robots, one was red, the other yellow. I didn't know that there could be Autobot twins. I said, "Hi, I'm Vivien, but please, call me Vi." The yellow one said, "Yo, wassup, my name's Sunstreaker, but I go by Sunny, probably cause I'm bright." The red one smacked the back of Sunny's head, and said, "Nah, that ain't it, ya glitch!" he turned to me, and said, "My name is Sideswipe, but my peeps call me Sides. We're twins." I said, "I see that, now, can someone direct me towards the human-sized kitchen? I'm starving!"

Maggie appeared out of a door and said, "Hey, Sunny, Sides, Jazz, come on, Vi, I'll show you, oh hey, how bout we eat that junk food that we love so much?" I turned to face her, and saw that she had that smile, which meant that someone would be mad. She mouthed, "Ratchet hates junk food." I nodded, and noticed that Jazz had transformed to his true form, and I said, "Hey, Jazz, can you get Ratchet? I don't feel good." He looked at me and I winked, and he realized that it was a prank. He winked back and walked off.

I really noticed for the first time how small the twins were, around 10 feet. I said, "So, Sunny," the yellow one looked at me, and I said, "Sides," the red one looked to, I continued, "are you guys the mischievous ones?" It took them a second, probably looking up 'mischievous' on the Internet, and Sunny said, "Yeah, we are, are you?" I said, "You could say that. I like to pull pranks, speakin of pranks, c'me on, Mags, let's eat junk!"

Maggie and I entered the human kitchen, and we looked on the fridge. There was a note, saying, "Sam, I left some meatball sub leftovers in here for you. Mom made 'em last night, xoxo, Mikaela." Maggie and I exchanged glances and groaned. I said, "So, how was the subs?" She pushed me, playfully, but still, and said, "Horrible, that's why we have leftovers! Sam loves them…eugh!" I laughed at my best friend. It's amazing how much she looked NOTHING like her sister, Mikaela. They were 9 months apart, Mikaela being older, and she never let's Maggie forget it.

I sighed, and said, "So, Mags, what do we doooo?" I was so bored, and ticking Ratchet off didn't seem so fun for a long time, so I needed something else to look forward to. She said, "Well, after we get Ratch's metal undies in a bunch, I'll take you on the tour…sound good?" I nodded, and heard Sunny and Sides coming back. I said, "Quick, here he comes!" I grabbed the first junk food I saw, which were dill pickle chips. I grabbed them and stuffed them into my mouth. Maggie picked up some Teddy Graham cookies, mmmmm, chocolate chip!!

We pigged out, and we heard Ratchet say, to Sunny and Sides, no doubt, "Well, you two glitches, I'm sure…MARGRET AND VIVIEN!!! PUT THE JUNK FOOD DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" We pretended like we had no idea what he was talking about, and shrugged our shoulders. Maggie said, "Who??" she started to act like Mikaela, and said, "My name is Mikaela, and I'm stuck up and preppy and to good for anyone. I don't even love my boyfriend…oh well…his car makes me look…" she trailed off.
I was laughing so hard I was crying, I'm pretty sure that Ratchet was not thrilled, but through my tears I saw a pretty mad Mikaela. Sunny, Sides, and even Ratchet turned into their alt forms, and the red mech opened his passenger side, and said, "Jump in, Vi!" I looked at Mags sorrowfully, but I couldn't be caught up in that mess that was waiting to come. She nodded at me, and I ran over to Sides, sticking my tongue out at Mikaela. Sides drove off, and I looked back at Mikaela and Maggie, hoping to Primus…wait…where did THAT come from??? Who is Primus?? I said, "Sides, to Optimus please, sir!" He said, through the radio, "Ay, ay captain!" I sighed as he raced down the hallway, with Sunny and Ratchet behind him.

MAGGIE'S POV

I looked at my angry sister, and I said, "Look, Kayla…" she cut me off right there. "Margret, my name is Mikaela, and fyi, I do love Sam, not just his car-slash-Autobot! Ugh, you know NOTHING, Maggie! So just shut up, and leave me alone!" I said, "Oh, ok, MI-KAY-LAH! You just don't worry your pretty lil head about a thing, just let me worry about it. And I can't leave you alone!" She looked so angry as I mocked her. She said, "Why the hell not?" I said, "Cause Jazz is Vi's guardian! I know now! DUH!" Mikaela had the worst face on EVER. It was pretty high-sterical if you ask me…she said, "WHAT???? Why'd they tell YOU?" I rolled my blue eyes. I said, "Cause not everyone wants to make the perfect Mikaela happy!" I spat it in her face. She looked taken back. "Uh, Mags…"I slapped her face. "Don't ever call me Mags again! You are not my sister! You're a skank!" She had a red mark where I slapped her, but I didn't care. I stepped right past her, and saw Jazz walking down the hall. I said, "Jazz, can you take me to where ever Vi is?" He said, "Sure, Maggie!" he then changed to his alt form, and the passenger door opened. I got in and he sped off. Apparently, he knew which way to go. I knew right then that this would be one wild ride.

Vivien's POV

Sides turned down the corridor to the all to familiar door of Prime's office. I had to apologize, I probably scared him half to…do 'bots die? Oh well, I'll worry about that later. Sides stopped and opened the door so I could get out. "Thanks, Sides." He said, "No problem. Any time." He drove off as I walked up to the huge door. I knocked on it, as loud as I could, and it started to creep open. Optimus looked down at me, and said, "Oh, Vivien, uh, are you alright?" I nodded, "Yeah, look , I'm sorry about before." He nodded, and stepped aside, so I could walk in. I walked in and he shut the door. He said "It is certainly fine, I've talked with your uncle about your father, and I know it's a touchy subject." I looked up at him. "Can you explain all this? I'm confused." He nodded, "Of course. I came down to earth because I was scouting for the Allspark, and it was not here yet, or at least not to my knowledge. I went all over the world, ending up in Nevada. I had the holographic from, also called holoform, installed, so when I went to tourist attractions, I could use that. I met your mom, and to make a long story short, I had experimented with the human tradition of mating. I must say, it was quite an experience, and a few months later, before my planned departure, your mother told me she was "pregnant." I guessed that it meant that I would soon have a sparkling of my own." I cut in, "Why didn't you tell her? About Cybertron? She would have understood your leave, or at least understood exactly what I am." He said, "No, I couldn't have. I didn't know what to do, so I left sooner. I believe you are now up to date with the rest." I nodded.

Just then, we heard the door knock, Jazz entered and smiled at me. I smiled back, and saw Maggie in his hand. "Uhm, sir, is this a bad time?" We all looked at him, and he said, "No, I believe we are done, right, Vivien?" I said, "I'm done if you are, sir!" He chuckled and said, "Get out of here, Jazz and Maggie, give Vivien the tour, ok?" Maggie said, "YES SIR!" Jazz set her down, and he transformed into his alt form. He opened both the driver and passenger door, and Maggie and I got in.

This was going to be a wild time!
